This agreement shall bind the undersigned, its legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of you, your successors and assigns as to all Obligations arising from transactions having their inception prior to termination; provided, however, that termination may be effected only by written notice by the undersigned to you by certified mail of the intention of the undersigned to terminate this agreement and provided further that such termination shall apply only as to Obligations arising subsequent to the receipt of such notice of termination. Nothing herein contained shall obligate you to grant credit to, or continue your financing arrangements with Obligor. This agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned, and to your successors and assigns.
The undersigned waives any provision of any homestead law and of any similar or other legislation as now or hereafter enacted or amended, which among other things, may extend the time for payment of, or impair any of the liability of the undersigned hereunder and waives notice of: the creation of any of the Obligations, notice of nonpayment or default by Obligor under any of the Obligations or under any Agreement now or hereafter existing; notice of presentment, demand, dishonor and protest; notice of acceptance of this guaranty or the creation or extension or renewal of any Obligation of the Obligor to which this agreement relates; and any other notices whatsoever; and agrees that no modification of any of the Obligations (including the release of any of the undersigned), or any collateral security given by Obligor shall affect, impair or release the undersigned from any of the indebtedness then accrued or thereafter to accrue under this agreement or any part hereof. The undersigned agrees that no delay or failure on your part in the exercise of any right or remedy shall preclude other or further exercises thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. Time is of the essence in this agreement.
Undersigned hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of Obligor now or hereafter owed to any undersigned to all indebtedness of Obligor to you, and agrees with you that undersigned shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from Obligor, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of undersigned's obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the security described in and encumbered by the agreements and documents evidencing financing arrangements between us; provided, however, that, if you so request, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by undersigned as trustee for you and be paid over to you on account of the indebtedness of Obligor to you, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of undersigned under the other provisions of this agreement.
This agreement is irrevocable and shall continue in full force and effect until the undersigned's Obligations are fully paid, performed and discharged and the undersigned receives written notice from you of that fact. The Obligations shall not be considered fully paid, performed and discharged unless and until all payments by Obligor to you are no longer subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including but not limited to Obligor, Obligor as a Debtor in Possession and /or any Trustee in bankruptcy to set aside such payments, or to seek to recoup the amount of such payments or any part thereof. The foregoing shall include, by way of example and not by way of limitation, all rights to recover preferences voidable under Title 11 of the United States Code. In the event that any such payment by Obligor to you is set aside after the making thereof, in whole or in part or settled without litigation to the extent of such settlement, all of which is in the discretion of you, undersigned shall be liable for the full amount you are required to pay plus cost, interest, attorney's fees and any and all expenses which made or incurred in connection therewith.
The undersigned hereby expressly waives, renounces, and agrees not to assert, any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim for reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification or otherwise, against the Obligor arising out of or by reason of this instrument for the Obligations of the undersigned, including without limitation, the payment or securing or purchasing of any of the Obligations by the undersigned. The waiver, renunciation and agreement contained in the preceding sentence is for the benefit of you and also for the benefit of the Obligor, who may assert the benefits thereof as a third party beneficiary, and the undersigned may be released from such waiver, renunciation and agreement only by the execution and delivery, by the Obligor and use, of an instrument expressly releasing the undersigned therefrom.
This agreement is assignable by you, and any assignment of any Agreement, or any transfer or assignment of any portions thereof, by you shall operate to vest in any such assignee all rights and powers herein conferred upon and granted to you.
If for any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this agreement, at the time such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity presently prescribed by any applicable usury statute or any other applicable law, with regard to obligations of like character and amount, then ipso facto the obligations to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this agreement that is in excess of the current limit of such validity, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the limit of such validity. The provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this agreement.
This agreement is made subject to all the terms, conditions, agreements, or stipulations contained in the agreements, deeds, notes, instruments and other documents evidencing the Obligations hereby guaranteed, which are hereby expressly incorporated herein, and the undersigned agrees that the terms, conditions and provisions of any agreements, deeds, notes, instruments or other documents which may be executed by the Obligor to evidence obligations in the future shall simultaneously with their execution, become a part of this agreement.
This agreement is executed under seal and shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia. Wherever possible, each provision of this agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this agreement.
This agreement embodies the whole agreement of the undersigned and may not be modified except in writing, and no course of dealing between you and any of the undersigned shall be effective to change or modify this agreement. Your failure to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right and at any other time and from time to time thereafter, and such rights shall be considered as cumulative rather than alternative. No knowledge of any breach or other nonobservance by any of the undersigned of the terms and provisions of this agreement shall constitute a waiver thereof, nor a waiver of any obligations to be performed by the undersigned hereunder.
