1. Agreement to Pay and Perform; Costs of Collection. Guarantor does hereby agree that following an Event of Default under the Loan Documents if the Note is not paid by Borrower in accordance with its terms, or if any and all sums which are now or may hereafter become due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents are not paid by Borrower in accordance with their terms, or if any and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the

Note or of Borrower under the other Loan Documents are not performed by Borrower in accordance with their terms, Guarantor will immediately upon demand make such payments and perform such obligations. Guarantor further agrees to pay Lender on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect the Obligations guaranteed hereby, to enforce any of the Obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby, or any portion thereof, or to enforce this Guaranty, and until paid to Lender, such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Loan Agreement unless collection from Guarantor of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such sums shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Guarantor under applicable law.

2. Reinstatement of Refunded Payments. If, for any reason, any payment to Lender of any of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder is required to be refunded by Xxxxxx to Borrower, or paid or turned over to any other person, including, without limitation, by reason of the operation of bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency laws or similar laws of general application relating to creditors’ rights and remedies now or hereafter enacted, Guarantor agrees to pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the amount so required to be refunded, paid or turned over (the “Turnover Payment”), the obligations of Guarantor shall not be treated as having been discharged by the original payment to Lender giving rise to the Turnover Payment, and this Guaranty shall be treated as having remained in full force and effect for any such Turnover Payment so made by Lender, as well as for any amounts not theretofore paid to Lender on account of such obligations.

3. Rights of Lender to Deal with Collateral, Borrower and Other Persons. Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby releasing Guarantor from any liability hereunder and without notice to or further consent from Guarantor or any other Person or entity, either with or without consideration: release or surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing any indebtedness or liability hereby guaranteed; substitute for any collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the terms of the Note or the Loan Documents; extend or renew the Note for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Note or the Loan Documents and to any persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any other guarantor, surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Document; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Note or the Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Borrower or Guarantor, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other person, shall release Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford Guarantor any recourse against Lender. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all replacements, supplements, renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements and modifications of the Note and the other Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any such replacements, supplements, renewals, extensions, amendments, consolidations, restatements or modifications thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor acknowledges the terms of Section 18.3 of the Loan Agreement and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower pursuant thereto without notice to or further consent from Guarantor.

4. No Contest with Lender; Subordination. Guarantor will not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by Xxxxxx) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in respect of any liability of Guarantor to Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with Lender in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any of the Obligations hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, Lender may hold or in which it may have any share. Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right of contribution from or indemnity against Xxxxxxxx, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor has no right whatsoever to proceed against Borrower or for reimbursement of any such payments, except for those rights of Guarantor under the Contribution Agreement; provided, however, Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights under the Contribution Agreement and Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of the Contribution Agreement so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged. In the event Guarantor shall receive any payment under or on account of the Contribution Agreement, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment. In connection with the foregoing, so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged, Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to Lender against Xxxxxxxx, and Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower and any rights to participate in any collateral for Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and agrees with Lender that (a) Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment from Borrower on account of such indebtedness, (b) Guarantor shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and (c) Guarantor shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security provided by Xxxxxxxx described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents; provided, however, that, if Lender so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.

5. Waiver of Defenses. Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by, and hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on:

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Loan Agreement, any other

6. Guaranty of Payment and Performance and Not of Collection. This is a Guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be primary, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other Person, nor against securities or liens available to Lender, its successors, successors in title, endorsees or assigns. Guarantor hereby waives any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other Person or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of Borrower or any other Person.

7. Rights and Remedies of Lender. In the event of an Event of Default under the Note or the Loan Documents, or any of them, that is continuing (it being understood that the Lender has no obligation to accept cure after an Event of Default occurs), Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies thereunder or hereunder or under any other Loan Document, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to Lender in such event shall be nonexclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers Lender upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Note or the other Loan Documents, at its sole discretion, and without notice to Guarantor, to exercise any right or remedy which Lender may have, including, but not limited to, judicial foreclosure, exercise of rights of power of sale, acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, appointment of a receiver to collect rents and profits, exercise of remedies against personal property, or enforcement of any assignment of leases, as to any security, whether real, personal or intangible.

At any public or private sale of any security or collateral for any of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, Lender may, in its discretion, purchase all or any part of such security or collateral so sold or offered for sale for its own account and may apply against the amount bid therefor all or any part of the balance due it pursuant to the terms of the Note or Security Documents or any other Loan Document without prejudice to Xxxxxx’s remedies hereunder against Guarantor for deficiencies. If the Obligations guaranteed hereby are partially paid by reason of the election of Lender to pursue any of the remedies available to Lender, or if such Obligations are otherwise partially paid, this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Guarantor shall remain liable for the entire balance of the Obligations guaranteed hereby even though any rights which Guarantor may have against Borrower may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.

8. Application of Payments. Guarantor hereby authorizes Xxxxxx, without notice to Guarantor, to apply all payments and credits received from Borrower or from Guarantor or realized from any security in such manner and in such priority as Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit to the Obligations.

9. Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency. In the event of the business failure of Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for Guarantor or Guarantor’s properties or assets, Lender may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in any proceedings relative to Guarantor, or any of Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, Lender shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Guarantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantor shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against Guarantor by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.

10. Covenants of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that until all indebtedness guaranteed hereby has been completely repaid and all obligations and undertakings of Borrower under, by reason of, or pursuant to the Note and the other Loan Documents have been completely performed and Lender has no further obligation to make Loans, Guarantor will comply with any and all covenants applicable to Guarantor set forth in the Loan Agreement.

11. Security and Rights of Set-off. Guarantor hereby grants to Lender, as security for the full and prompt payment and performance of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in any and all securities or other property belonging to Guarantor now or hereafter held by Lender and in any and all deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch of Lender where the deposits

are held) now or hereafter held by Lender and other sums credited by or due from Lender to Guarantor or subject to withdrawal by Guarantor; and regardless of the adequacy of any collateral or other means of obtaining repayment of such obligations, during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Note or the other Loan Documents, Lender may at any time and without notice to Guarantor set-off and apply the whole or any portion or portions of any or all such deposits and other sums against amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether or not any other person or persons could also withdraw money therefrom. Any security now or hereafter held by or for Guarantor and provided by Xxxxxxxx, or by anyone on Xxxxxxxx’s behalf, in respect of liabilities of Guarantor hereunder shall be held in trust for Xxxxxx as security for the liabilities of Guarantor hereunder.

12. Changes in Writing; No Revocation. This Guaranty may not be changed orally, and no obligation of Guarantor can be released or waived by Lender except as provided in §27 of the Loan Agreement. This Guaranty shall be irrevocable by Guarantor until all indebtedness guaranteed hereby has been completely repaid and all obligations and undertakings of Borrower under, by reason of, or pursuant to the Note, and the Loan Documents have been completely performed and the Lenders have no further obligation to advance Loans under the Loan Agreement.

Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed address of which no Notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent.
