Lender shall not have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any related Borrower, and any failure by Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any related Borrower or any release of any related Borrower shall not relieve Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of Lender against Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

7. Waiver of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Guarantor waives any and all notice of any kind including, without limitation, notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations, and notice of or proof of reliance by Lender upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty; 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 this Guaranty; and all dealings between any related Borrower and Guarantor, on the one hand, and Lender, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any related Borrower or Guarantor with respect to its Secured Obligations or the Obligations, respectively. In addition, Guarantor waives any requirement that Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any related Borrower.

8. Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations and not of their collectibility only and is in no way conditioned upon any requirement that Lender first attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any related Borrower, without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by Lender, (b) any defense, set-off, deduction, abatement, recoupment, reduction or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any related Borrower against Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any related Borrower or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of Guarantor from this Guaranty, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against Guarantor, Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights, powers, privileges and remedies as it may have against any related Borrower or any other Person or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any related Borrower or any such other Person or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any related Borrower or any such other Person or right of offset, shall not relieve Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights, powers, privileges and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law or equity, of Lender against Guarantor. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of Lender, and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the Secured Obligations and the Obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been satisfied by performance and payment in full and the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall have been terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Loan Agreement, Borrower may be free from any Secured Obligations.

9. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any related Borrower or Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any related Borrower or Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

10. Payments. Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to Lender without deduction, abatement, recoupment, reduction, set-off or counterclaim, in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with the wiring instructions of Lender.
