Exhibit 10.32

GUARANTY & AGREEMENT

Guaranty and Agreement (“Guaranty”) between the Guarantor named below and RZB FINANCE LLC (together with its successors and assigns, “RZB”), dated as of July 26, 2007.

1.		Special Terms
		The following terms and provisions shall apply to this Guaranty; the meaning of any term in this or other sections of this Guaranty expressed in the singular shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the same term expressed in the plural and vice versa.
		Borrower: Rio Vista Energy Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
		Guarantor: Regional Enterprises, Inc., a Virginia corporation
		Guaranteed Obligations: All indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of the Borrower to RZB now existing or hereafter arising including, but not limited to, those arising under the following documents (including any modifications thereof or substitutions therefor, the “Loan Documents”):
		Documents: Loan Agreement, dated as of July 26, 2007 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”), General Security Agreement, dated July 26, 2007 as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, and Promissory Note, dated July 26, 2007 as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time.
2.		Guaranty
		2.1 Continuing Guaranty of Payment. In consideration of RZB agreeing to the Loan Documents and/or extending or continuing credit to the Borrower in connection therewith, the Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to RZB the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations, together with interest thereon and other charges related thereto. For purposes of this Guaranty, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be due on the earliest of:

	2.a.		the due date thereof (by acceleration or otherwise),
	2.b.		with respect to any obligation due on demand, upon demand therefor made by RZB upon the Borrower or the Guarantor,
	2.c.		the giving of notice by RZB to the Borrower or Guarantor of the occurrence of any default by the Guarantor hereunder (including any material misrepresentation by the Guarantor herein or in connection herewith),
	2.d.		the occurrence of a material adverse change in the Borrower or the Guarantor,
	2.e.		the Borrower shall disaffirm or disavow any of its obligations under the Loan Documents or the Guarantor shall disaffirm any of its obligations hereunder, or
	2.f.		the Borrower or the Guarantor shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due.

This is a guaranty of payment rather than of collection; this is also a continuing guaranty and all liabilities to which this Guaranty applies, or may apply, under the terms hereof shall be presumed to have been created in reliance hereon.

2.2 Nature of Obligations. The obligations of the Guarantor to make payments to RZB hereunder are direct and primary obligations which shall not be discharged for any reason until RZB has been indefeasibly paid in full. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall remain in force irrespective of:

	2.a.		any invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of, or any defect in, any of the Loan Documents or Guaranteed Obligations or any defense which the Borrower may have with respect thereto,
	2.b.		the existence or absence of any legal action to enforce the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan Documents or any security therefor, the issuance of any judgment therefor or the execution of any such judgment, or
	2.c.		any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to or discharge of, a guarantor or surety of any type.

This guaranty is several and independent of, and may be enforced regardless of, any other obligation (direct or contingent) of the Guarantor or any other “Person” (such term to include any person or legal or governmental entity, association, agency or instrumentality) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

2.3 Payments. All payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made to RZB without set-off, recoupment, deduction or counterclaim at its office set forth below (or as RZB may otherwise direct) in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. Without limiting the foregoing, all payments hereunder shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction for, any present or future withholding or other taxes or duties, including stamp duties, or other charges of any nature imposed on such payments by or on behalf of any government or any political subdivision or agency thereof or therein. If any such taxes, duties or charges are so levied or imposed on any such payment, the Guarantor will make additional payments in such amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by RZB, after deduction for or on account of all such taxes, duties or charges, will be equal to the amount provided for herein. The Guarantor shall furnish promptly to RZB official receipts evidencing the payment of any such taxes, duties or charges paid by the Guarantor.

3. Special Agreements of Guarantor

3.1 Subordination. Subject to the next following sentence of this Section 3.1:

	3.a.		all claims of the Guarantor against the Borrower shall be subject and subordinate to the prior payment to RZB of all Guaranteed Obligations and all obligations of the Guarantor hereunder, and
	3.b.		the Guarantor shall not be entitled to receive any payment or exercise any set-off in respect of any such claim and, to the extent any such payment is received (whether directly, by way of dividend in bankruptcy, set-off or otherwise), the Guarantor will forthwith deliver the same (or the value thereof) to RZB in precisely the form received (except for endorsement or assignment where necessary), for application to the Guaranteed Obligations and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust as the property of RZB.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in Section 3.2, until the occurrence of any default or event of default under the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, or any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor may receive and retain payment in respect of any obligation owed to it by the Borrower. If the Guarantor fails to make any necessary endorsement or assignment of any instrument of payment to which RZB is entitled, RZB and any of its officers or employees are hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same on behalf of the Guarantor.

3.2 No Subrogation. Until indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor hereby waives any right of subrogation that it may have with respect to any payment that it may have made to RZB hereunder.

3.3 No Contribution. Until indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of the Loan Agreement, the Guarantor agrees that it shall have no legal or equitable right or claim (by way of indemnification, contribution or otherwise) against any subsidiary or affiliate of Guarantor which has issued a guaranty to RZB in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.4 Waivers. Except to the extent required by law which cannot be waived, the Guarantor waives notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and notice of any liability to which it may apply, and waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of dishonor or nonpayment of any such liabilities, suit or taking other action or making any demand by RZB against, and any other notice to, any party liable thereon (including the Guarantor). The Guarantor agrees that RZB may at any time and from time to time, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:

	3.a.		change the manner, place or terms of, and/or change or extend the time of payments of, renew or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations so changed, extended, renewed or altered,
	3.b.		fail to record, perfect or protect, or sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order, any property or Person whatsoever at any time securing or guaranteeing the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset thereagainst,
	3.c.		exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower or any other Person (including any guarantor) or otherwise act or refrain from acting,
	3.x.		xxxxxx, release or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment of any other liability (whether due or not) of the Borrower to the creditors of the Borrower (including RZB),
	3.e.		apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of the Borrower to RZB regardless of what liability or liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid, provided that payments by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be applied to its obligations hereunder, but in such order as RZB may determine,
	3.f.		consent to or waive any breach of or act, omission or default under, or modify or amend any provision of, the Loan Documents, and/or
	3.g.		increase the amount of indebtedness of the Borrower to RZB, whether under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

It is understood and agreed that RZB may take any such action without the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

3.5 Amounts Reclaimed. If claim is made upon RZB for repayment or recovery of any amount received on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and RZB repays all or part of said amount by reason of:

	3.a.		any judgment, decree or order of any court, administrative body or trustee in bankruptcy (or other Person acting on behalf of the Borrower or its estate) or,
	3.b.		any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by RZB with any such claimant (including the Borrower), or
	c.		any other reason,

then, and in any such event, the Guarantor agrees that any such repayment (by reason of any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise or otherwise) shall be binding upon the Guarantor, notwithstanding any cancellation of the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to RZB hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received by RZB.

3.6 Interest. If the Guarantor fails to pay when due any obligation hereunder, then, to the extent permitted by law, such obligation shall bear interest, payable on demand, from the due date thereof until paid at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to 2% in excess of the Base Lending Rate (as hereinafter defined); provided that no such additional interest shall be payable in respect of any such obligation on which interest is simultaneously accruing pursuant to the Loan Documents. The term “Base Lending Rate” means, for any day, the higher of (i) the rate announced by The Chase Manhattan Bank (the “Bank”) from time to time at its principal office in New York, New York as its prime rate for domestic (United States) commercial loans in effect on such day and (ii) the Federal Funds Rate (as hereinafter defined) in effect on such day plus 1/2%. (Such Base Lending Rate is not necessarily intended to be the lowest rate of interest charged by the Bank in connection with extensions of credit.) Each change in the Base Lending Rate shall result in a corresponding change in the interest rate and such change shall be effective on the effective date of such change in the Base Lending Rate.

- 2 -

The term “Federal Funds Rate” means, for any day, the overnight federal funds rate in New York City, as published for such day (or, if such day is not a New York Business Day, for the next preceding New York Business Day) in the Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (519) or any successor publication, or if such rate is not so published for any day which is a New York Business Day, the average of the quotations for such day on overnight federal funds transactions in New York City received by RZB or the Bank from three federal funds brokers of recognized standing selected by RZB or the Bank.

3.7 INTENTIONALLY OMITTED

3.8 Information. The Guarantor will promptly furnish to RZB such information regarding its and the Borrower’s business, affairs and financial condition as RZB may from time to time reasonably request.

3.9 Secured Obligations. The Guarantor shall not grant, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist a security interest in or lien or encumbrance upon any of its property for the purpose of securing the obligations of the Borrower and/or itself to any other Person (other than to the Lender or as otherwise expressly permitted under the Loan Agreement) unless such Person shall have entered into an intercreditor agreement with RZB in form and substance satisfactory to RZB.

4.		Representations, Warranties and Agreements
		In order to induce RZB to agree to the Loan Documents, to extend or continue the credit provided thereby and to accept this Guaranty, the Guarantor makes the following representations, warranties and agreements which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty:

	4.b.		has the power to own its assets, to conduct its business as now conducted and to enter into and perform the provisions of this Guaranty.

4.2 Legality. The entering into and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty:

	4.a.		have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate and stockholder action or other action required by its organizational documents, and
	4.b.		do not contravene any existing law or any legal order applicable to, or license or permit granted to, the Guarantor, or any agreement or instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or to which it or any of its assets is subject or any provision of the Guarantor’s organizational documents.

4.3 Governmental Approvals. Neither any action by or with any governmental or public body or authority (including, without limitation, any exchange control or monetary authority), or any subdivision thereof, nor any other legal formality is required in connection with the entering into, performance or enforcement of this Guaranty (collectively, “Governmental Approvals”), except such as has been obtained or taken and with respect to which a copy or other satisfactory evidence thereof has been furnished to RZB. The Guarantor will maintain all requisite Governmental Approvals until the Loan Documents are terminated and the Guaranteed Obligations and all of its obligations hereunder are paid in full.
