THE GUARANTY
2.1 The Guaranty. Guarantor, for itself, its successors and assigns,
hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Vicis the full and complete
payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise) of each of the Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and
performance and not of collection.
2.2 Waivers and Consents.
(a) Guarantor acknowledges that the obligations undertaken herein
involve the guaranty of obligations of a Person other than Guarantor and, in
full recognition of that fact, Guarantor consents and agrees that Vicis may, at
any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting
the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (i) supplement, modify,
amend, extend, renew, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the
other terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including without limitation
any increase or decrease of the principal amount thereof or the rate(s) of
interest thereon; (ii) supplement, modify, amend or waive, or enter into or give
any agreement, approval or consent with respect to, the Obligations or any part
thereof, or any of the Transaction Documents or any additional security or
guaranties, or any condition, covenant, default, remedy, right, representation
or term thereof or thereunder; (iii) accept new or additional instruments,
documents or agreements in exchange for or relative to any of the Transaction
Documents or the Obligations or any part thereof; (iv) accept partial payments
on the Obligations; (v) receive and hold additional security or guaranties for
the Obligations or any part thereof; (vi) release, reconvey, terminate, waive,
abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, exchange, substitute, transfer and/or
enforce any security or guaranties, and apply any security and direct the order
or manner of sale thereof as Vicis in its sole and absolute discretion may
determine; (vii) release any Person from any personal liability with respect to
the Obligations or any part thereof; (viii) settle, release on terms
satisfactory to Vicis or by operation of applicable Law or otherwise, liquidate
or enforce any Obligations and any security or guaranty in any manner, consent
to the transfer of any security and bid and purchase at any sale; and/or (ix)
consent to the merger, change or any other restructuring or termination of the
corporate existence of Borrower or any other Person, and correspondingly
restructure the Obligations, and any such merger, change, restructuring or
termination shall not affect the liability of Guarantor or the continuing
effectiveness hereof, or the enforceability hereof with respect to all or any
part of the Obligations.
(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, Vicis may enforce this Guaranty independently of any other remedy,
guaranty or security Vicis at any time may have or hold in connection with the
Obligations, and it shall not be necessary for Vicis to marshal assets in favor
of Borrower, any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person or to
proceed upon or against and/or exhaust any security or remedy before proceeding
to enforce this Guaranty. Guarantor expressly waives any right to require Vicis
to marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person or to proceed against
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any collateral provided by
any Person, and agrees that Vicis may proceed against any obligor and/or the
collateral in such order as it shall determine in its sole and absolute
discretion. Vicis may file a separate action or actions against Guarantor,
whether action is brought or prosecuted with respect to any security or against
any other Person, or whether any other Person is joined in any such action or
actions. Guarantor agrees that Vicis and Borrower may deal with each other in
connection with the Obligations or otherwise, or alter any contracts or
agreements now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever, all
without in any way altering or affecting the security of this Guaranty.
-2-
(c) The rights of Vicis hereunder shall be reinstated and revived,
and the enforceability of this Guaranty shall continue, with respect to any
amount at any time paid on account of the Obligations which thereafter shall be
required to be restored or returned by Vicis upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or
reorganization of any Person, all as though such amount had not been paid. The
rights of Vicis created or granted herein and the enforceability of this
Guaranty shall remain effective at all times to guarantee the full amount of all
the Obligations even though the Obligations, including any part thereof or any
other security or guaranty therefor, may be or hereafter may become invalid or
otherwise unenforceable as against Borrower or any other guarantor of the
Obligations and whether or not Borrower or any other guarantor of the
Obligations shall have any personal liability with respect thereto.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor expressly
waives any and all defenses now or hereafter arising or asserted by reason of:
(i) any disability or other defense of Borrower or any other guarantor for the
Obligations with respect to the Obligations (other than full payment and
performance of all of the Obligations); (ii) the unenforceability or invalidity
of any security for or guaranty of the Obligations or the lack of perfection or
continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the
Obligations; (iii) the cessation for any cause whatsoever of the liability of
Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations (other than by reason of the
full payment and performance of all Obligations); (iv) any failure of Vicis to
marshal assets in favor of Borrower or any other Person; (v) any failure of
Vicis to give notice of sale or other disposition of collateral to Borrower or
any other Person or any defect in any notice that may be given in connection
with any sale or disposition of collateral; (vi) any failure of Vicis to comply
with applicable Laws in connection with the sale or other disposition of any
collateral or other security for any Obligation, including, without limitation,
any failure of Vicis to conduct a commercially reasonable sale or other
disposition of any collateral or other security for any Obligation; (vii) any
act or omission of Vicis or others that directly or indirectly results in or
aids the discharge or release of Borrower or any other guarantor of the
Obligations, or of any security or guaranty therefor by operation of Law or
otherwise; (viii) any Law which provides that the obligation of a surety or
guarantor must neither be larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome
than that of the principal or which reduces a surety's or guarantor's obligation
in proportion to the principal obligation; (ix) any failure of Vicis to file or
enforce a claim in any bankruptcy or other proceeding with respect to any
Person; (x) the election by Vicis, in any bankruptcy proceeding of any Person,
of the application or non-application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code; (xi) any extension of credit or the grant of any lien under
Xxxxxxx 000 xx xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code; (xii) any use of collateral
under Section 363 of the United States Bankruptcy Code; (xiii) any agreement or
stipulation with respect to the provision of adequate protection in any
bankruptcy proceeding of any Person; (xiv) the avoidance of any lien or security
interest in favor of Vicis for any reason; (xv) any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution
proceeding commenced by or against any Person, including without limitation any
discharge of, or bar or stay against collecting, all or any of the Obligations
(or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding; or (xvi) any
action taken by Vicis that is authorized by this Section or any other provision
of any Loan Document. Until all of the Obligations have been paid in full,
Guarantor expressly waives all presentments, demands for payment or performance,
notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices
of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever
with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Guaranty
or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

2.3 Condition of Borrower. Guarantor represents and warrants to Vicis that
it has established adequate means of obtaining from Borrower, on a continuing
basis, financial and other information pertaining to the business, operations
and condition (financial and otherwise) of Borrower and its assets and
properties. Guarantor hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any duty on the
part of Vicis (should any such duty exist) to disclose to Guarantor any matter,
fact or thing related to the business, operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of Borrower or its assets or properties, whether now known or
hereafter known by Vicis during the life of this Guaranty. With respect to any
of the Obligations, Vicis need not inquire into the powers of Borrower or agents
acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and all Obligations made or created
in good faith reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
guaranteed hereby.
2.4 Continuing Guaranty. This is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in
full force and effect as to all of the Obligations until all amounts owing by
Borrower to Vicis on the Obligations shall have been paid in full.
2.5 Subrogation; Subordination. Guarantor expressly waives any claim for
reimbursement, contribution, indemnity or subrogation which Guarantor may have
against Borrower as a guarantor of the Obligations and any other legal or
equitable claim against Borrower arising out of the payment of the Obligations
by Guarantor or from the proceeds of any collateral for this Guaranty, until all
amounts owing to Vicis under the Obligations shall have been paid in full and
all commitments to lend have been terminated or expired. In furtherance, and not
in limitation, of the foregoing waiver, until all amounts owing to Vicis under
the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Guarantor hereby agrees that no
payment by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall constitute Guarantor a
creditor of Borrower. Until all amounts owing to Vicis under the Obligations
shall have been paid in full, Guarantor shall not seek any reimbursement from
Borrower in respect of payments made by Guarantor in connection with this
Guaranty, or in respect of amounts realized by Vicis in connection with any
collateral for the Obligations, and Guarantor expressly waives any right to
enforce any remedy that Vicis now has or hereafter may have against any other
Person and waives the benefit of, or any right to participate in, any collateral
now or hereafter held by Vicis. No claim which any Guarantor may have against
any other guarantor of any of the Obligations or against Borrower, to the extent
not waived pursuant to this Section, shall be enforced nor any payment accepted
until the Obligations are paid in full and all such payments are not subject to
any right of recovery.
