reason (a) advance or lend monies to Borrower, whether or not such funds are

make any payment(s) to Lender or others for obligations and liabilities under

relinquishes In favor of Lender and Borrower, and their respective successors,

acquire against Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, so that at no time shall
Guarantor be or become a "creditor" of Borrower within the meaning of 11 U.S.C.
section 547(b), or any successor provision of the Federal bankruptcy laws.
GUARANTOR'S RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from
attempting to collect and/or enforce any of Guarantor's collection and/or
reimbursement rights against Borrower (or against any other guarantor, surety or
endorser of Borrower's Indebtedness), arising by way of subrogation or
otherwise, until such time as all of Borrower's then remaining Indebtedness In
favor of Lender Is fully paid and satisfied. In the event that Guarantor should
for any reason whatsoever receive any payment(s) from Borrower (or any other
guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower's Indebtedness) that Borrower (or such
a third party) may owe to Guarantor for any of the reasons stated above,
Guarantor agrees to accept such payment(s) In trust for and on behalf of Lender,
advising Borrower (or the third party payee) of such fact. Guarantor further

funds being held by Guarantor over any interim period, In trust for Lender. In

which such funds were deposited, whether or not such funds were commingled with
other monies of Guarantor, and whether or not such funds then remain on deposit
in such an account or accounts. To this end and to secure Guarantor's
obligations under this Agreement, Guarantor collaterally assigns and pledges to

that may be received from Borrower (or any other guarantor, endorser or surety
of Borrower's Indebtedness) In favor of Lender.

obligations hereunder and under any additional guaranties previously granted or
to be granted by Guarantor In the future, and additionally as collateral

that Guarantor may now and In the future have on deposit with Lender or In
certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as- to which Guarantor is an
account holder (with the exception of XXX, pension, and other tax-deferred
deposits). Guarantor further agrees that Lender may at any time apply any funds
that Guarantor may have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or

Borrower.

waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender to pursue Lender's available rights
