The Undersigned agrees that this Guaranty shall constitute a guaranty of payment and not of collection and that, upon a reasonable determination by Lender that it will not be able to collect the Obligations in full or without substantial delay from other sources, this Guaranty may be enforced by Lender at any time after forty-five (45) days after the Obligations become due and payable whether on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note) or by acceleration or otherwise, upon written notice to the Undersigned without first (i) making any effort whatsoever at collection of the Obligations from Borrower or any other party that may be liable therefore (including filing suit or proceeding to obtain or assert a claim for judgment against Borrower or any such other party), the right to require Lender to take action against Borrower as provided in O.C.G.A. §10-7-24 being hereby expressly waived, or (ii) exercising or asserting any other right or remedy that may be available in connection with the Obligations.

No delay or omission by Lender in exercising any of its rights, remedies, powers and privileges hereunder and no course of dealing between Lender, on the one hand, and Borrower, the Undersigned or any other person, on the other hand, shall be deemed a waiver by Lender of any of its rights, remedies, powers, and privileges, even if such delay or omission is continuous or repeated; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof by Lender or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege by Lender.
