thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside and/or required to be repaid to Borrower, Guarantor, such other

Guaranty which provisions expressly survive termination (including, without
limitation, the second sentence of Section 10 of this Guaranty). If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantor shall have any right under applicable
law to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees that, except as
provided in the preceding sentence, such termination or revocation shall not be
effective until a written notice of such revocation or termination, specifically
referring hereto, signed by Guarantor is actually received by the Finance
Parties. Such notice shall not affect the right and power of any
Finance Party to enforce rights arising prior to receipt of the
notice.
Section
14. Successors and
Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns, except that Guarantor may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder (and any attempted assignment or transfer by
Guarantor shall be null and void). Nothing in this Guaranty,
expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than
the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby

this Guaranty.
