and

|
| 2. |
Guaranty
Absolute.
Each of the undersigned jointly and severally guarantees that the
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of
the
Documents and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating
or
evidencing the Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or
order now
or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or
the rights of Debtor with respect thereto. Guarantors hereby knowingly
accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of “continuing
guaranty” which risk includes the possibility that Debtor will contract
additional indebtedness for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder
after
Xxxxxx’s financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they
fall due has deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly authorized
incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledge
that
(i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend
credit or provide other financial accommodations to Debtor, have
been made
by Xxxxxx to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and
(ii) any extension of credit to the Debtor shall be governed solely
by the provisions of the Documents. The liability of each of the
undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional,
in
accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect
without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged,
terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence
whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver,
indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition,
consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or
inaction
under or in respect of the Documents or any other instruments or
agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer
of
any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any
Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to
the
Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any
furnishing of any additional security to Laurus or its assignees
or any
acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Laurus or its
assignees, (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligation
under the Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements
relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any
thereof
or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any
such
document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment,
dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Debtor,
or
any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee, receiver,
interim receiver, or receiver and manager, or by any court, in any
such
proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge
of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection
of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent
to
departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Obligations
or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts
due
from the undersigned to Laurus shall bear interest until such amounts
are
paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations.
Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed
or
allowable.

Waivers.
|
(a) This
Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Laurus shall be under
no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other
action against Debtor or any other person liable with respect to any of the
Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of
the
Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to
perform as agreed herein and each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all
rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Laurus
to
do any of the foregoing. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are
independent of the Obligations and a separate action or actions may be brought
and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective
of
whether any action is brought against Debtor or whether Xxxxxx is joined in
any
such action or actions. Each of the Guarantors further consents and agrees
that
Xxxxxx shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The
undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose
any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the
undersigned may have or which may exist between and among Laurus, Debtor and/or
the undersigned with respect to the undersigned’s obligations under this
Guaranty, or which Debtor may assert on the underlying debt, including but
not
limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other
than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy,
infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and
usury.
(b) Each
of
the undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this
Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all
notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled,
including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Debtor’s financial
condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of
the
undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone
whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment,
non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any
default of any sort.
(c) Notwithstanding
any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or
application of funds of the undersigned by Xxxxxx, the undersigned shall not
be
entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Xxxxxx against Debtor or
against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by Xxxxxx for the
payment of the Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to
seek any contribution, indemnification or reimbursement from Debtor in respect
of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to Laurus
by Xxxxxx on account of the Obligations are paid in full and Laurus’ obligation
to extend credit pursuant to the Documents have been terminated. If,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned
on
account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations
shall
not have been paid in full and Laurus’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to
the Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by
the
undersigned in trust for Laurus, segregated from other funds of the undersigned,
and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of,
receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received
by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required),
to
be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order
as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and
all
present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to any of the undersigned
are
hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment
and performance of, all present and future debts and Obligations of Debtor
to
Xxxxxx.

| 4. |
Indemnity.
As an original and independent obligation under this Guaranty each
Guarantor shall:
|
(a) indemnify
Laurus and keep Xxxxxx indemnified against any cost, loss, expense or liability
of whatever kind resulting from the failure by Debtor to make due and punctual
payment of any of the Obligations or resulting from any of the Obligations
being
or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against Debtor
(including, but without limitation, all legal and other costs, charges and
expenses incurred by Laurus, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or
attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Guaranty); and
(b) pay
on
demand the amount of such cost, loss, expense or liability whether or not Xxxxxx
has attempted to enforce any rights against any Debtor or any other person
or
otherwise.

of
the undersigned in Laurus’ possession or in the possession of any bank,
financial institution or other entity that directly or indirectly,
through
one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under
common control with, Laurus (each such entity, an “Affiliate”)
shall be deemed held by Laurus or such Affiliate, as the case may
be, as
security for any and all of the undersigned’s obligations to Laurus and to
any Affiliate of Laurus, no matter how or when arising and whether
under
this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.

Judgment
Currency.
If, for the purpose of obtaining or enforcing judgment against any
Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary
to
convert into any other currency (such other currency being hereinafter
in
this section referred to as the “Judgment
Currency”)
an amount due under this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation
Currency”)
other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be made at
the rate
of exchange prevailing on the business day immediately preceding

If,
in
the case of any proceeding in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in
the
preceding paragraph, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing
between the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the
amount due in immediately available funds, the Guarantor shall pay such
additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be
necessary to ensure that the amount actually received in the Judgment Currency,
when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will
produce the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased
with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial
order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any
amount due from any Guarantor under this section shall be due as a separate
debt
and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts

applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter
in
effect in any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding with respect
to
Debtor. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor which

or
any similar US federal or state law and Laurus (by its acceptance
of the
benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations
guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will,
after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent
or
otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under
such laws
and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to
any
agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor
and
the other Guarantors (including this Guaranty), result in the Obligations
of such Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of such maximum

With Respect to Waivers and Consents.

adversely affect rights which such Guarantor otherwise may have against
the Debtor, Laurus or any other person or entity or against any
collateral. If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the
terms
of this Guaranty shall control in any and all circumstances, any
such
waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable
law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum
extent
permitted by law.
