This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

Guarantor hereby expressly waives any requirement of notice to, or any requirement that Bank obtain the further consent of, Guarantor in connection with any of the acts, omissions and events contemplated by the preceding sentence, regardless of the frequency with which they may occur, and further agrees that this Guaranty shall apply with equal force and effect to any and all renewals, modifications, re-castings, restructurings and consolidations of any or all of the obligations or indebtedness guaranteed hereby.

3. Waives any claim, right or remedy that Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower arising under or by reason of this Guaranty or Guarantor’s performance of its obligations hereunder, including, without limitation, any claim, right or remedy of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification or participation in any claim, right or remedy of Bank against Borrower, or any security that Bank may now have or hereafter acquire, whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise.

Agrees that, if at any time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by Bank to any indebtedness or liability of Borrower is, or must be, rescinded or returned by Bank for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower), then, to the extent such payment is or must be rescinded or returned, the indebtedness or liability to which the same was applied shall, for purposes of this Guaranty, be deemed to have continued in full force and effect notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such indebtedness or liability as though such application had not been made.

5. Agrees that no act or omission of any kind by Bank, or any agent, officer or employee of Bank, or any of them, shall affect or impair this Guaranty and neither Bank nor any such agent, officer or employee shall have any duties to Guarantor.

7. Agrees that Bank may, from time to time, without notice to Guarantor, assign or transfer any or all of the obligations guaranteed hereby, or any interest therein; and notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such obligations shall be and remain obligations guaranteed hereby, and each and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of such obligations, or of any interest therein, shall, to the extent of the interest of such assignee or transferee in such obligation, be entitled to the benefits of this Guaranty to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were Bank.

Agrees that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be continuing and irrevocable, that no failure by Bank to exercise any of its rights under this Guaranty shall be a waiver of such rights or of any default hereunder by Guarantor and that no purported modification or waiver hereof shall be binding upon Bank unless the same is in writing and signed by a duly authorized officer of Bank.

9. Agrees that, wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating or impairing the remainder of such provision or any other provisions of this Guaranty.
