Restated Limited Guaranty Agreement

THIS RESTATED LIMITED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is made and entered into as of this ______ day of November, 2006, by X.X. XXXXXXX, an individual (the “Guarantor”), with an address at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxx Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, in consideration of the extension of credit by PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (the “Bank”), with an address at 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxx, XX 00000, to ENVIRONMENTAL TECTONICS CORPORATION (the “Borrower”), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged. This Guaranty restates and replaces (but does not constitute a novation of) the existing Limited Guaranty Agreement from the Guarantor to the Bank dated as of August 24, 2004.

1. Guaranty of Obligations. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor, and becomes surety for, the prompt payment and performance of all loans, advances, debts, liabilities, reimbursement and other obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to the Bank of any kind or nature, present or future (including any interest accruing thereon after maturity, or after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy, or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or like proceeding relating to the Borrower, whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding), whether direct or indirect (including those acquired by assignment or participation), absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter arising under the letter of credit facility established under that certain Letter Agreement between the Borrower and the Bank dated as of November ___, 2006, as hereafter amended, modified or supplemental, the “Credit Agreement”), the Reimbursement Agreement for Letters of Credit from the Borrower in favor of the Bank dated as of November ___, 2006 (as hereafter amended, modified or supplemented, the “Reimbursement Agreement” and the Letters of Credit (as defined in the Credit Agreement) heretofore or hereafter issue pursuant thereto, and any amendments, extensions, renewals and increases of or to the foregoing, and all costs and expenses of the Bank incurred in the enforcement, collection and otherwise in connection with the foregoing, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Obligations”); provided, however, that the Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall not exceed $5,000,000 in principal amount of the Obligations (consisting of the face amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit and any reimbursement obligations with respect thereto or otherwise due at such time, as calculated on the date of acceleration or demand by the Bank), plus all interest thereon and all costs and expenses arising from the Obligations (the “Guaranteed Amount”).

If the Borrower defaults under any such Obligations, the Guarantor will pay the Guaranteed Amount to the Bank. Until the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, the Guaranteed Amount shall not be reduced in any manner, whatsoever by any amounts which the Bank may realize before or after maturity of the Obligations, by acceleration or otherwise, as a result of payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by or on behalf of any other person or entity other than the Guarantor primarily or secondarily liable for the Obligations or any part thereof, or otherwise credited to the Borrower or such person or entity, or as a result of the exercise of the Bank’s rights with respect to any collateral for the Obligations or any part thereof. Payments made to the Bank by the Guarantor (other than, directly or indirectly, from collateral or other persons or entities liable for any portion of the Obligations) after maturity of the Obligations, by acceleration or otherwise, shall reduce the Guaranteed Amount.

2. Nature of Guaranty; Waivers. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the Bank shall not be required, as a condition of the Guarantor’s liability, to make any demand upon or to pursue any of its rights against the Borrower, or to pursue any rights which may be available to it with respect to any other person who may be liable for the payment of the Obligations.

This is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guaranty and will remain in full force and effect until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, and the Bank has terminated this Guaranty. This Guaranty will remain in full force and effect even if there is no principal balance or other amounts outstanding under the Obligations at a particular time or from time to time. This Guaranty will not be affected by any surrender, exchange, acceptance, compromise or release by the Bank of any other party, or any other guaranty or any security held by it for any of the Obligations, by any failure of the Bank to take any steps to perfect or maintain its lien or security interest in or to preserve its rights to any security or other collateral for any of the Obligations or any guaranty, or by any irregularity, unenforceability or invalidity of any of the Obligations or any part thereof or any security or other guaranty thereof. The Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be affected, modified or impaired by any counterclaim, set-off, recoupment, deduction or defense based upon any claim the Guarantor may have (directly or indirectly) against the Borrower or the Bank, except payment or performance of the Obligations.

Notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, notice of extensions of credit to the Borrower from time to time, notice of default, diligence, presentment, notice of dishonor, protest, demand for payment, and any defense based upon the Bank’s failure to comply with the notice requirements under Sections 9-611 and 9-612 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time are hereby waives. The Guarantor waives all defenses based on suretyship or impairment of collateral.

The Bank at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor’s liabilities hereunder, may (a) change the manner, place, time or terms of payment or performance of or interest rates on, or other terms relating to, any of the Obligations; (b) renew, substitute, modify, amend or alter, or grant consents or waivers relating to any of the Obligations, any other guaranties, or any security for any Obligations or guaranties; (c) apply any and all payments by whomever paid or however realized including any proceeds of any collateral, to any Obligations of the Borrower in such order, manner and amount as the Bank may determine in its sole discretion; (d) settle, compromise or deal with any other person, including the Borrower or the Guarantor, with respect to any Obligations in such manner as the Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion; (e) substitute, exchange or release any security or guaranty; or (f) take such actions and exercise such remedies hereunder as provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by its acknowledgment of this Guaranty, the Bank agrees that, except as otherwise required by the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the Security Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement), so long as this Guaranty remains in effect it will not release (except as required by law or as directed by any decree or order of any court or administrative body or in connection with a substitution therefor having reasonably equivalent value) any substantial or material portion of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) held by it without the prior written consent of the Guarantor.

3. Repayments or Recovery from the Bank. If any demand is made at any time upon the Bank for the repayment or recovery of any amount received by it in payment or on account of any of the Obligations and if the Bank repays all or any part of such amount by reason of any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body or by reason of any settlement or compromise of any such demand, the Guarantor will be and remain liable hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never been received originally by the Bank. The provisions of this section will be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Guarantor in reliance upon such payment, and any such contrary action so taken will be without prejudice to the Bank’s rights hereunder and will be deemed to have been conditioned upon such payment having become final and irrevocable.

4. Financial Statements. Unless compliance is waived in writing by the Bank or until all of the Obligations have been paid in full, the Guarantor will promptly submit to the Bank such information relating to the Guarantor’s affairs (including, but not limited to, annual investment statements and tax returns for the Guarantor) or any security for the Guaranty at any time provided by the Guarantor as the Bank may reasonably request.

5. Enforceability of Obligations. No modification, limitation or discharge of the Obligations arising out of or by virtue of any bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding for relief of debtors under federal or state law will affect, modify, limit or discharge the Guarantor’s liability in any manner whatsoever and this Guaranty will remain and continue in full force and effect and will be enforceable against the Guarantor to the same extent and with the same force and effect as if any such proceeding had not been instituted. The Guarantor waives all rights and benefits which might accrue to it by reason of any such proceeding and will be liable to the full extent hereunder, irrespective of any modification, limitation or discharge of the liability of the Borrower that may result from any such proceeding.

6. Events of Default. The occurrence of any of the following shall be an “Event of Default”: (i) any Event of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement); (ii) the Guarantor’s failure to perform any of its obligations hereunder; (iii) the falsity, inaccuracy or material breach by the Guarantor of any written warranty, representation or statement made or furnished to the Bank by or on behalf of the Guarantor; (iv) the termination or attempted termination of this Guaranty; (v) the Guarantor shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or future law of any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or relief of debtors, seeking to have an order for relief entered with respect to it, or seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Guarantor shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (vi) there shall be commenced against the Guarantor any case, proceeding or other action of a nature referred to in clause (v) above which (A) results in the entry of an order for relief or any such adjudication or appointment or (B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, (a) the Guarantor shall pay to the Bank the amount of the Obligations; or (b) on demand of the Bank, the Guarantor shall immediately deposit with the Bank, in U.S. dollars, all amounts due or to become due under the Obligations, and the Bank may at any time use such funds to repay the Obligations; or (c) the Bank in its discretion may exercise with respect to any collateral any one or more of the rights and remedies provided a secured party under the applicable version of the Uniform Commercial Code; or (d) the Bank in its discretion may exercise from time to time any other rights and remedies available to it at law, in equity or otherwise.

7. Right of Setoff. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the Guarantor’s money, securities or other property given to the Bank by law, the Bank shall have, with respect to the Guarantor’s obligations to the Bank under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by law, a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff against, and the Guarantor hereby grants Bank a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges and transfers to the Bank all of the Guarantor’s right, title and interest in and to, all of the Guarantor’s deposits, moneys, securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with, or in transit to, the Bank or any other direct or indirect subsidiary of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly with someone else, or whether held for safekeeping or otherwise, excluding, however, all XXX, Xxxxx, and trust accounts. Every such security interest and right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to the Guarantor. Every such right of setoff shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder without any action of the Bank, although the Bank may enter such setoff on its books and records at a later time.

8. Collateral. This Guaranty is secured by the property described in any collateral security documents which the Guarantor may in the future grant to the Bank to secure any Obligations of the Guarantor to the Bank.

9. Costs. To the extent that the Bank incurs any costs or expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights under the Obligations or this Guaranty, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs and expenses of litigation, such costs and expenses will be due on demand, will be included in the Obligations and will bear interest from the incurring or payment thereof at the default interest rate provided under the Credit Agreement.

10. Postponement of Subrogation.

The Bank’s rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which the Bank may have under other agreements, at law or in equity. The Bank may proceed in any order against the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor of, or collateral securing, the Obligations.
