ARTICLE I

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

1.1 Guaranty of Obligations. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, and jointly and severally, guarantees to Noteholder and its successors and assigns the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Debt as and when the same shall be due and payable or performable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that it is liable for the Guaranteed Debt as a primary obligor.

1.2 Definition of Guaranteed Debt. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Debt” shall mean any and all of the following:

(a) any and all principal, interest, reasonable attorneys’ fees, commitment fees, liabilities for costs and expenses and other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Maker to Noteholder at any time created or arising in connection with the Note, or any amendment thereto or substitution therefor, including, but not limited to, all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Maker to Noteholder arising under any renewals, modifications, increases, extensions, consolidations and rearrangements of the Note, or under the Loan Documents;

(b) any and all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations and duties of Maker for future advances, extensions of credit, sales on account or other value at any time given or made by Noteholder to Maker arising under any of the Loan Documents, whether or not the advances, extensions of credit, sales on account or other value are given pursuant to a loan commitment or otherwise;

(c) any and all other indebtedness, liabilities, obligations and duties of every kind and character of Maker to Noteholder arising under any of the Loan Documents, whether now or hereafter existing or arising, regardless of whether such present or future indebtedness, liabilities, obligations or duties be direct or indirect, related or unrelated, liquidated or unliquidated, primary or secondary, joint, several or joint and several or fixed or contingent; and

(d) any and all post-petition interest, reasonable costs, expenses and fees, including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by Noteholder in connection with the collection of any or all amounts, indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of Maker to Noteholder described in items (a) through (c) above.

1.3 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, unconditional continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection. This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Debt arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and after (if Guarantor is a natural person) Guarantor’s death (in which event this Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor’s estate and Guarantor’s administrator’s, executors, legal representatives and heirs). The fact that at any time or from time to time the Guaranteed Debt may be increased, reduced or paid in full shall not release, discharge or reduce the obligation of Guarantor to Noteholder with respect to the indebtedness or obligations of Maker thereafter incurred (or other Guaranteed Debt thereafter arising) under the Note or otherwise for so long as the Note remains outstanding. This Guaranty may be enforced by Noteholder and any subsequent holder of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Debt and shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt.

1.4 Guaranteed Debt Not Reduced by Offset. The Guaranteed Debt and the liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Noteholder hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of Maker, or any other party, against Noteholder or against payment or performance of the Guaranteed Debt, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Debt (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Debt) or otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing or Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to the extent that Noteholder advances funds or extends credit to Maker, and does not receive payments, performances or benefits thereon in the amounts and at the times required or provided by the Loan Documents or applicable laws, Guarantor is absolutely liable to make such payments and performances to (and confer such benefits on) Noteholder, on a timely basis.

1.5 Payment by Guarantor. If all or any portion of the Guaranteed Debt shall not be punctually paid or performed when due, whether at maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Noteholder, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity or any other notice whatsoever, pay in lawful money of the United States of America the amount due on the Guaranteed Debt to Noteholder at Noteholder’s address as set forth herein and perform such other unperformed obligations as may be required pursuant to the Loan Documents. Such demand(s) may be made at any time coincident with or after the time for payment or performance of all or part of the Guaranteed Debt, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Debt. Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

1.6 No Duty to Pursue Others. Except as may be required by applicable law, it shall not be necessary for Noteholder (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require Noteholder), in order to enforce such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its rights or remedies against Maker, the Mortgaged Property or others liable on the Guaranteed Debt or any other person or entity; (ii) enforce or exhaust Noteholder’s rights or remedies against any collateral or security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt; (iii) enforce Noteholder’s rights or remedies against any other guarantors of the Guaranteed Debt; (iv) join Maker or any others liable on the Guaranteed Debt in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty; (v) exhaust any rights or remedies available to Noteholder against any collateral or security which shall ever have been given to secure the Guaranteed Debt; or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed Debt.

1.7 Guaranty Independent; Waivers.

(a) Guarantor agrees that:

(i) the obligations under this Guaranty are independent of and in addition to the undertakings of Maker pursuant to the Loan Documents, any evidence of indebtedness issued in connection with the Loan, any mortgage or security agreement given to secure the Loan, any other guaranties given in connection with the Loan, and any other obligations of Guarantor to Noteholder;

(ii) a separate action may be brought to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty, whether Maker is a party in any action or not;

(iii) Noteholder may at any time, or from time to time, in its sole discretion:

(A) extend or change the time of payment or performance or the manner, place, or terms of payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Debt;

(B) exchange, release, or surrender any of the Mortgaged Property, or any part of it, by whomever deposited, which is now or may later be held by Noteholder in connection with any of the Guaranteed Debt;

(C) sell or purchase any of the collateral at public or private sale, or at any broker’s board, in the manner permitted by law, and after all costs and expenses of every kind for collection, sale, or delivery, the net proceeds of any sale may be applied by Noteholder on any of the Guaranteed Debt; and

(D) settle or compromise with Maker, or any other person liable, any of the Guaranteed Debt, or subordinate the payment of it, or any part of it, to the payment of any other debts or claims, that may at any time be due or owing to Noteholder or any other person or corporation; and

(iv) Noteholder will be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or in payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt.

(b) Guarantor waives:

(i) presentment, demand, protest, notice of acceptance, notice of dishonor, notice of nonperformance, and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Debt and this Guaranty, and promptness in commencing suit against any party, or in giving any notice to or making any claim or demand on any other guarantor;

(ii) any right to require Noteholder to proceed against Maker, proceed against or exhaust any security held from Maker or pursue any remedy in Noteholder’s power;

(iii) any defense based on any legal disability or other defense of Maker, any other guarantor, or other person or by reason of the cessation or limitation of the liability of Maker from any cause other than full payment of all sums payable under the Note and the performance of the other Guaranteed Debt;

(iv) any defense based on any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners, or agents purporting to act on behalf of Maker or any principal of Maker or any defect in the formation of Maker or any principal of Maker;

(v) to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights and benefits granted to a guarantor purporting to reduce a guarantor’s obligations in proportion to the principal obligation;

(vi) any defense based on the application by Maker of the proceeds of the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Maker to Noteholder or intended or understood by Noteholder or Guarantor;

(vii) any defense Guarantor may acquire by reason of Noteholder’s election of any remedy against Guarantor or Maker or both, even though that election of remedies has destroyed any rights of subrogation and/or reimbursement Guarantor may have against Maker by law or otherwise;

(viii) any defense based on Noteholder’s failure to disclose to Guarantor any information concerning Maker’s financial condition or any other circumstances bearing on Maker’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Note or any of the other Guaranteed Debt;

(ix) any defense based on any statute or rule of law that provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;

(x) any defense based on Noteholder’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute;

(xi) any defense based on any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code; and

(xii) until the Guaranteed Debt has been satisfied in full, any right of subrogation, contribution or reimbursement against Maker, any right to enforce any remedy that Noteholder has or may in the future have against Maker, any other right that Noteholder may now or later acquire against Maker that arises from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or would arise with respect to the Guaranteed Debt, and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security for the Guaranteed Debt now or in the future held by Noteholder.

1.8 Payment of Expenses. In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely pay or perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by Noteholder, pay Noteholder any and all costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Noteholder in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of Noteholder’s rights hereunder. The covenant contained in this Section 1.8 shall survive until the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Debt and all costs and fees, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Noteholder with respect to Maker and/or Guarantor are paid in full.

1.9 Effect of Bankruptcy. In the event that, pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or other debtor relief law, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, Noteholder must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by Noteholder in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Debt, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by Noteholder shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. It is the intention of Maker and Guarantor that

Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s full performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such performance.

1.10 Waiver of Subrogation, Reimbursement and Contribution. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, so long as any portion of the Guaranteed Debt remains unpaid, Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that any and all rights and remedies it may now or hereafter have under any agreement, at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating Guarantor to the rights of Noteholder) to assert any claim against or seek contribution, indemnification or any other form of reimbursement from Maker or any other party liable for any payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Debt shall at all times be and remain subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Debt.

1.11 Maker. The term “Maker” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of Maker or any interest in Maker.

1.12 Intentionally Omitted.

1.13 Recourse Limitations Do Not Apply. It is understood and agreed that any limitations of liability provided in the Note and any of the other Loan Documents shall not apply with respect to Guarantor, and that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, Noteholder shall have full and personal recourse against the assets of Guarantor with respect to the satisfaction of the Guaranteed Debt, and such limitations of liability shall not apply for purposes of enforcing this Guaranty.

3.2 Familiarity and Reliance. Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed the books and records regarding the financial condition of Maker and is familiar with the value of any and all collateral or security intended to be given as security for the payment of the Note or the Guaranteed Debt; provided, however, that Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the collateral or security as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

3.3 No Representation by Noteholder. Neither Noteholder nor any other party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor, express or implied, in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.4 Legality. The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any law, statute or regulation whatsoever to which Guarantor is subject, or constitute a default (or an event with which notice or the lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien or any contract, agreement or other document to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor.

ARTICLE IV
SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

4.1 Subordination of All Guarantor Claims. As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean any and all debts and liabilities of Maker to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of Maker thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, joint, several, joint and several or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities be evidenced by note, contract, open account or otherwise, and irrespective of the person or persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor. Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, any and all rights and claims of Guarantor against Maker (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment or performance of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Debt. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Documents), Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from Maker or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2 Claims in Bankruptcy. In the event of receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceedings involving Guarantor as debtor, Noteholder shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims. Guarantor hereby assigns such dividends and payments to Noteholder. Should Noteholder receive, for application upon the Guaranteed Debt, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor, and which, as between Maker and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit upon Guarantor Claims, then upon payment or performance to Noteholder in full of the Guaranteed Debt, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Noteholder to the extent that such payment or performances to Noteholder on the Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Guaranteed Debt, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Guaranteed Debt, which would have been unpaid if Noteholder had not received dividends or payments upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.3 Payments Held in Trust. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payments, claims or distributions which would be prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Noteholder an amount equal to the amount of all such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received, and agrees that Guarantor shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Noteholder, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Noteholder.

4.4 Liens Subordinate. Guarantor agrees that any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Maker’s assets securing payment of Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Maker’s assets securing payment or performance of the Guaranteed Debt (the “Collateral”), regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor or Noteholder presently exist or are hereafter created or attach. Without the prior written consent of Noteholder, Guarantor shall not (i) exercise or enforce any creditor’s right it may have against Maker, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on any Collateral.

4.5 Default. The occurrence of any of the following events shall, at the election of Noteholder, be deemed a default by such Guarantor (“Event of Default”) under this Guaranty:

(a) if Guarantor fails to pay any of the Guaranteed Debt when due and payable or properly declared due and payable and Guarantor shall fail to remedy such failure within ten (10) days after written notice of such failure (which cure period may run concurrently with any cure period afforded to Maker);

(b) if Guarantor fails or neglects to perform, keep or observe any term, provision, condition, covenant, warranty or representation contained in this Guaranty, which is required to be performed, kept or observed by Guarantor and Guarantor shall fail to remedy such within thirty (30) days of the date such term, provision, condition, covenant, warranty or representation is required to be performed and Guarantor’s receipt of written notice of such failure (which cure period may run concurrently with any cure period afforded to Maker);

(c) if any of Guarantor’s assets are attached, seized, subjected to a writ of distress warrant, are levied upon, come under a federal tax lien or come within the possession of any receiver, conservator, trustee, custodian or assignee for the benefit of creditors;

(d) if a petition under Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) or any similar law or regulation shall be filed by Guarantor (which is not discharged within 120 days of the date of filing), or if Guarantor shall make any assignment for the benefit of its creditors or if any case or proceeding is filed by Guarantor for its dissolution or liquidation;

(e) if a petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar law or regulation shall be filed against Guarantor, or if such a case or proceeding is filed against Guarantor and such proceeding shall not be dismissed within one hundred twenty (120) days of its filing, during which time Guarantor shall be diligently contesting such action or proceeding;

(f) if any material statement, report or certificate made or delivered to Noteholder by such Guarantor is not true and correct in any material respect;

(g) the occurrence of a default or Event of Default under any other agreement, instrument and/or document executed and delivered by such Guarantor to Noteholder, which is not cured by Guarantor within any applicable cure period set forth in any such agreement, instrument and/or document;

(h) the occurrence of a default or Event of Default under any the Note, Deed of Trust or any other Loan Document;

(i) if such Guarantor attempts to cancel, revoke or disclaim this Guaranty; or

(j) the failure by such Guarantor to timely provide the financial information required pursuant to Section 3.5 of this Agreement.

4.6 Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, which is not cured within any applicable cure period, without notice thereof to such Guarantor, the Guaranteed Debt shall be due and payable and enforceable against Guarantor, forthwith, at Noteholder’s principal place of business, to the extent the Guaranteed Debt is then due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and Noteholder may, in its sole and absolute discretion, exercise any one or more of the following remedies which are cumulative and non-exclusive:

(a) proceed to suit against Guarantor if the Guaranteed Debt is not immediately paid by Guarantor to Noteholder at Noteholder’s principal place of business. At Noteholder’s election, one

or more successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereunder by Noteholder against such Guarantor, whether suit has been commenced against Maker, and in any such suit Maker may be joined (but need not be joined) as a party with Guarantor;

(b) reduce to cash or the like any of such Guarantor’s assets of any kind or nature in the possession, control or custody of Noteholder, and, without notice to such Guarantor, apply such proceeds in reduction or payment of such Guaranteed Debt; and/or

Guarantor recognizes that in the event of an Event of Default under this Guaranty, no remedy at law will provide adequate relief to Noteholder, and agrees that Noteholder shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damage.

ARTICLE V
MISCELLANEOUS

5.1 Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of Noteholder, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies of Noteholder hereunder shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies provided by law or in equity. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved. No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take any other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor specifically waives any and all rights and remedies to which Guarantor may become entitled under applicable Kansas statutes, and to any and all other defenses available to sureties or guarantors at law or in equity.
