The collateral security described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by any or all of the undersigned. The Lender, n addition to any right available to it under applicable law or any other agreement, shall have the right, at its option, to immediately set off against any Liabilities all monies owed by the Lender in any capacity to any or all of the undersigned, whether or not due, and the Lender shall, at its option, be deemed to have exercised such right to set off and to have made a charge against
-4-
|
|
|
|
any such money immediately upon the occurrence of any events of default set forth below, even though such charge is made or entered on the books of the Lender subsequent to those events.
7. The obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement shall survive and continue in full force and effect and shall not be terminated, discharged or released, in whole or in part, irrespective of whether the Debt has been paid in full and irrespective of any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, sale of the Trust Property pursuant to the provisions of the Deed of Trust or acceptance by the Lender, its nominee or wholly owned subsidiary of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or sale and irrespective of any other fact or circumstance of any nature whatsoever.
8. The undersigned hereby expressly agrees that this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents, and the undersigned hereby consents that from time to time, before or after any default by the Borrower or S&W Dallas, with or without further notice to or assent from either of the undersigned:
(a) any security at any time held by or available to the Lender for any obligation of the Borrower, or any security at any time held by or available to the Lender for any obligation of any other person or party primarily, secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Debt, any other Liabilities and/or any other obligations of the Borrower or any other person or party, other than the Lender, under any of the Loan Documents (“Other Obligations”), including any guarantor of the Debt, the Liabilities and/or of any of such Other Obligations, may be accelerated, settled, exchanged, surrendered or released and the Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of the Borrower, or any such other person or party;
(b) any obligation of the Borrower, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, accelerated, surrendered, compromised, settled, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived; and
(c) the Lender may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to the Borrower or any other person or party, and generally deal with the Borrower, or any of the abovementioned security, deposit account, credit on its books or other person or party as the Lender may see fit;
and the undersigned shall remain bound under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, without any loss of rights by the Lender and without affecting the liability of the undersigned, notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing. In addition, all moneys available to the Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt, the Liabilities and/or any Other Obligations may be applied by the Lender in such manner and in
-5-

|
|
|
such amounts and at such time or times and in such order, priority and proportions as the Lender may see fit.
|
|
9. |
The undersigned hereby waives: |
|
|
(a) |
notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement; |
(b) protest and notice of dishonor or default to either or both of the undersigned or to any other person or party with respect to any obligations hereby guaranteed;
(c) all other notices to which any or all of the undersigned might otherwise be entitled; and
|

10. |

(b) either or both of the undersigned violates any provision of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or any other guaranty or other agreement executed by them with respect to the Loan or this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement;
then, and in such event, the Lender may declare the Liabilities to be, and the same shall become, immediately due and payable and/or may exercise any or all of its remedies as set forth herein or at law or in equity.
11. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the undersigned further waives any right to require that any action be brought against the Borrower or any other person or party or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person or party. Any payment on account of or reacknowledgement of the Debt by the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor or action taken, payment or reacknowledgement made, of any of the obligations of S&W Dallas under paragraph 9 of the Deed of Trust or otherwise with respect to any Environmental Requirements or to the Lender in connection therewith, shall be deemed to be taken or made on behalf of the undersigned and shall serve to start anew the statutory period of limitations applicable to the obligations of S&W Dallas and/or the Borrower pursuant to said paragraph 9 of the Deed of Trust hereunder or otherwise with respect to any Environmental Requirement or to the Lender in connection therewith or herewith.

16. The undersigned acknowledges that this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement and the undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement are and shall at all times continue to be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in all respects, and shall at all times be valid and enforceable irrespective of any other agreements or circumstances of any nature whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a defense to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement and the obligations of either or both of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, S&W Dallas) relating to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or the obligations of either or both of the undersigned hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Debt, including, but not limited to, a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust or the realization upon any other collateral given, pledged or assigned as security for all or any portion of the Debt, or the filing of a petition under Title 11 of the United States Code with regard to the Borrower or S&W Dallas, or the commencement of an action or proceeding for the benefit of the creditors of the Borrower or S&W Dallas, or the obtaining by the Lender of title to, respectively, the Trust Property or to any collateral given, pledged or assigned as security for the Debt by reason of the foreclosure or enforcement of the Deed of Trust or any other pledge or security agreement, the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or sale, or otherwise. This Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Lender and the undersigned with respect to the matters covered by this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, and the undersigned acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, understandings, representations or warranties exist with respect to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or with respect to the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, except those specifically set forth in this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement.

The undersigned represents and warrants to the Lender that this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement constitutes the legally binding obligation of the undersigned fully enforceable against the undersigned in
-8-
|
|
|
|
accordance with the terms hereof. The undersigned further represents and warrants to the Lender that:
(a) neither the execution and delivery of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will violate any applicable provision of law or any applicable regulation or other manifestation of governmental action; and
(b) all necessary approvals, consents, licenses, registrations and validations of any governmental regulatory body, including, without limitation, approvals required to permit the undersigned to execute and carry out the provisions of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, for the validity of the obligations of the undersigned hereunder and for the making of any payment or remittance of any funds required to be made by the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, have been obtained and are in full force and effect.
18. Notwithstanding any payments made by S&W Dallas pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, S&W Dallas irrevocably waives all rights to enforce or collect upon any rights which it now has or may acquire against the Borrower either by way of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution for any amount paid under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or by way of any other obligations whatsoever of the Borrower to S&W Dallas, nor shall S&W Dallas file, assert or receive payment on any claim, whether now existing or hereafter arising, against the Borrower in the event of the commencement of a case by or against the Borrower under Title 11 of the United States Code. In the event either a petition is filed under said Title 11 of the United States Code with regard to the Borrower or an action or proceeding is commenced for the benefit of the creditors of the Borrower, this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement shall at all times thereafter remain effective in regard to any payments or other transfers of assets to the Lender received from or on behalf of the Borrower prior to notice of termination of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement and which are or may be held voidable on the grounds of preference or fraud, whether or not the Debt has been paid in full or the obligations of S&W Dallas under the Guaranty have been fully performed. Any payment on account of or reacknowledgment of the Debt by the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor, or action taken, or payment or reacknowledgment made, of any of the obligations of S&W Dallas to take and complete the actions specified in paragraph 9 of the Deed of Trust shall serve to start anew the statutory period of limitations applicable to S&W Dallas with respect to said paragraph 9 and the undersigned hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph 18 shall survive the term of this Guaranty and the payment in full of the Debt and all other Liabilities.
19. Any notice, request or demand given or made under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement shall be in writing and shall be given in the manner and to the notice parties set forth in the Loan Agreement.

The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement is, and is intended to be, an instrument for the payment of money only, as such phrase is used in §3213 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules of the State of New York, and the undersigned has been fully advised by its counsel of the Lender’s rights and remedies pursuant to said §3213.

In furtherance of such agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees and consents that without limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over the undersigned in any such action or proceeding may be obtained within or without the jurisdiction of any court located in New York and that any process or notice of motion or other application to any such court in connection with any such action or proceeding may be served upon the undersigned by registered or certified mail to, or by personal service at, the last known address of the undersigned, whether such address be within or without the jurisdiction of any such court. The undersigned hereby further agrees that the venue of any litigation arising in connection with the Debt or in respect of any of the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be in New York County. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of the Lender to bring an action or proceeding arising out of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
22. The undersigned absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert or interpose any defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, or the obligations of any other person or party (including, without limitation, the Borrower) relating to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, or the obligations of the undersigned hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by the Lender to collect the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of the undersigned to assert any compulsory counterclaim maintained in a court of the United States, or of the State of New York if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of the right of the undersigned to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against the Lender in any separate action or proceeding). The undersigned hereby undertakes and agrees that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for all of the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned hereunder, notwithstanding the maturity of the Loan, whether by acceleration, scheduled maturity or otherwise.

23. No exculpatory provisions which may be contained in any Loan Document shall in any event or under any circumstances be deemed or construed to modify, qualify, or affect in any manner whatsoever the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement.
24. The obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement are in addition to the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under the Other Guaranties (as hereinafter defined). The discharge of any or all of the undersigned's obligations and liabilities under any one or more of the Other Guaranties by the undersigned or by reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or under any circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in whole or in part, of the undersigned's obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement. Conversely, the discharge of either or both the undersigned's obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement by the undersigned or by reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or under any circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in whole or in part, of the undersigned's obligations and liabilities under any of the Other Guaranties. The term “Other Guaranties” as used herein shall mean any other guaranty of payment, guaranty of performance, completion guaranty, indemnification agreement or other guaranty or instrument creating any obligation or undertaking of any nature whatsoever (other than this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement) now or hereafter executed and delivered by any or all of the undersigned to the Lender in connection with the Loan.
25. This Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts by some or all of the parties hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement of guaranty. The failure of any party listed below to execute this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement, or any counterpart hereof, or the ineffectiveness for any reason of any such execution, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder.
26. The undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and the Lender by its acceptance of this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally waives, any and all right to trial by jury in any action, suit or counterclaim arising in connection with, out of or otherwise relating to this Guaranty and Indemnification Agreement.
