          4.

               (a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not action is brought against the Company and whether or not the Company be joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Company or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Company shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

               (b) All payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deductions for any present or future taxes, fees, withholdings or conditions of any nature (“Taxes”). Guarantor shall pay any such Taxes, including Taxes on any amounts so paid, and will promptly furnish any Lender copies of any tax receipts or such other evidence of payment as such Lender may require.

          5. Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent and Lenders (whether or not after termination of this Guaranty), without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent and Lenders in their discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, the Company or other obligors.

or Guarantor, assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any person acquiring an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations.

          6. It is not necessary for the Administrative Agent or any Lender to inquire into the capacity or power of the Company or the officers acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and Guaranteed Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

          7. Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to (a) proceed against the Company or any other party; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Company; or (c) pursue any other remedy whatsoever. Guarantor waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of the Company other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of either the Company, or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

          8. Guarantor hereby waives any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire against the Company or any other guarantor of all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations that arise from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other of the Loan Documents (all such claims and rights being referred to as the “Guarantor’s Conditional Rights”), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has against the Company or any collateral which the Administrative Agent or any Lender now has or hereafter acquires for the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to Guarantor on account of Guarantor’s Conditional Rights and either (a) such amount is paid to Guarantor at any time when the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid or performed in full, or (b) regardless of when such amount is paid to Guarantor any payment made by the Company to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount paid to Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders to be credited and applied upon the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as Lenders, in their sole discretion, shall determine. To the extent that any of the provisions of this Paragraph 8 shall not be enforceable,

Guarantor agrees that until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed in full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the Company or Guarantor may be determined to be a preferential payment, Guarantor’s Conditional Rights to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to the Lenders’ right to full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and Guarantor shall not seek to enforce Guarantor’s Conditional Rights during such period.

          9. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or additional Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of either the Company’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have a duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.
