GUARANTOR'S LIABILITY. This Guaranty (this “Guaranty”) is a continuing and unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. This Guaranty does not impose any obligation on Lenders to extend or continue to extend credit or otherwise deal with Borrower at any subsequent time. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded, avoided or for any other reason must be returned by Lenders, and the returned payment shall remain payable as part of the Guaranteed Obligations, all as though such payment had not been made. Except to the extent the provisions of this Guaranty give Lenders additional rights, this Guaranty shall not be deemed to supersede or replace any other guaranties given to Lenders by Guarantor; and the obligations guaranteed hereby shall be in addition to any other obligations guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to any other agreement of guaranty given to Lenders and other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary, none of Guarantor’s other assets or income (including without limitation, life insurance, retirement plans, defined compensation plans, stock bonus or other stock plans, interest in real property, cash, stock, securities and other personal property, interests in corporations, limited liability companies, trusts or other entities, rights under any employment agreement or any other agreement and all other tangible and intangible personal property, whether received by Guarantor, by gift, inheritance or otherwise) whether owned now or in the future, shall be subject to the provisions of this Guaranty and shall be specifically excluded herefrom.
