The Parent Guaranty is absolute and unconditional. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Note Holder upon the guarantee contained in this Section 1 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 1; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 1; and all dealings between the Borrower and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Note Holder, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 1.

Guarantor expressly waives presentment, notice of default, protest and acceptance.  To the extent not prohibited by the laws of the State of New Jersey, Guarantor further waives the right to assert any defenses and claims that the Borrower may assert, and Guarantor’s right, if any, to require that the Note Holder seek remedies against Borrower or any other person before collecting from Guarantor.   No delay or omission of the Note Holder to exercise any right or power hereunder or upon any Event of Default, as defined above, under the Promissory Note, occurring and continuing shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver under the Parent Guarantee or Promissory Note. SECTION 3.  Successors and Assigns. This Parent Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Note Holder and its respective successors and assigns; PROVIDED that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Parent Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Note Holder.
