(c) Debt to Equity Ratio. Guarantor shall maintain for each fiscal
quarter a ratio of total indebtedness to shareholders' equity not to exceed 10.0 to 1.00. The
aggregate lease mount under all capitalized and operating leases shall be included as indebtedness

leases" shall include all future lease obligations where Guarantor is not currently the tenant but has
an option to purchase the equity interest in or assets of the tenant or where Guarantor otherwise has
rights to purchase the assets or equity of the tenant or where Guarantor has agreed to fund operating
shortfalls in connection with the operation of the facility by the tenant.

acquired, without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Guarantor shall not sell, give, convey or otherwise transfer, directly or indirectly, all or
substantially all of the assets of Guarantor to any person ("Transferee") if such transfer would cause

Guaranty; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to any transfer of assets
made after Guarantor's death (if an individual) pursuant to any will, testament or applicable law of
descent and distribution. Any transfer of assets that is prohibited by this section shall constitute an

such assets to payment of the Credit, whether matured or unmatured.
12. Loan Covenants. Throughout the term of the Loan, Guarantor shall comply

the Lender on the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower
or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, conservator, receiver, trustee or other officer with
similar powers with respect to the Borrower or any part of the Borrower's property or otherwise. If
an event pemfitting the acceleration of the maturity of the Loan has occurred and is continuing and
such acceleration is at such time prevented by reason of the pendency against the Borrower of a
proceeding under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, Guarantor agrees that, for the purposes of this
guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor under this guaranty, the maturity of the Loan will be
deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the Lender had accelerated the same in
accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and Guarantor will immediately pay the unpaid
balance of the Credit.

provision to other parties or circumstances, and the application of the remainder of this guaranty
shall not be affected thereby. Each provision of this guaranty shall be valid and enforceable to the
fullest extent permitted by law.

under this guaranty, any Credit, or any Security shall operate as a waiver thereof; no forbearance in
exercising any right under this guaranty, any Credit, or any Security on any one or more occasions
shall operate as a waiver of such right on any other occasion; and no single or partial exercise of any
right under this guaranty, any Credit, or any Security shall preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. Lender's rights under this guaranty
are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that Lender may otherwise have.

when due after expiration of any applicable grace, notice or cure period, Guarantor shall
immediately pay to Landlord all amounts then due and payable in connection with any Credit,
-3-
regardless of whether or not Landlord first pursues Tenant or exhausts any of its rights or remedies
against Tenant, any other Guarantor, others, or other Security. Guarantor shall not have any right
of subrogation to the rights of Landlord against any of the assets of Tenant or any other guarantor
of the Lease until after indefeasible payment in full of the Credit.
7. Continuing Obligation_ This guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all
renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, modifications, increases and reductions of the

cancelled by any such action and shall be deemed modified in accordance with the terms of such
action, whether or not Guarantor has notice of such action.
8. Subrzrdinalian. Guarantor subordinates to and postpones in favor of the
Credit and Security [al any present and future debts and obligations of Tenant to Guarantor (the

independent contractor arrangement; [iii] principal and interest pursuant to any Indebtedness;
[iv] distributions payable to any shareholders or general or limited partners of Tenant; and [vi lease

paragraph shall be effective only [i] after the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the

or insolvency proceeding by or against Tenant and until such proceeding is dismissed. Guarantor

including the receipt of a negotiable instrument, for all or any part of the Indebtedness owed by
Tenant, or any successor or assign of Tenant, including without limitation a receiver, trustee or
debtor in possession (the term "Tenant" shall include any such successor or assign of Tenant) until
the Credit has been paid in full; however, if Guarantor .receives such a payment, Guarantor shall
immediately deliver the payment to Landlord for credit against the then outstanding balance of the
Credit, whether matured or unmatured. Notwithstanding any right of Guarantor to ask, demand,
sue for, take or receive any payment with respect to the Indebtedness, all rights, liens and security

Security shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights of Landlord in such assets and Guarantor
shall have no right to possession of any such assets or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by
judicial action or otherwise, unless and until the Credit has been paid in full. Guarantor agrees that
Landlord shall be subrogated to the Guarantor with respect to the Guarantor's claims against Tenant
and the Guarantor's rights, liens and security interest, if any, in any of the Tenant's assets and
proceeds thereof until all of the Credit has been paid in full.
Guarantor warrants and represents that Guarantor has not previously assigned any
interest in the Indebtedness to any party other than Landlord, that no other party owns an interest in
the Indebtedness other than Guarantor, (whether as joint holders of the Indebtedness, participants or
otherwise) and that, except as provided below, the entire Indebtedness is and shall continue to be
owing only to the Guarantor. Guarantor shall not assign or transfer to others any claim Guarantor
has or may have against the Tenant, unless such assignment or transfer is made expressly subject to
this guaranty.

bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings shall be expressly subject to the terms of this §8.
In the event of any distribution of the assets or readjustment of the obligations and
indebtedness of the Tenant, whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement,
receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the
readjustment of all or any of the Indebtedness hereby subordinated, or the application of the assets
of the Tenant to the payment or liquidation thereof, Landlord shall be entitled to receive payment in
full of any and all of the Credit, due or not due, prior to the payment of all or any part of the
Indebtedness hereby subordinated, and in order to enable Landlord to enforce its fights hereunder in
any such action or proceeding, Landlord is hereby authorized and empowered in its discretion to
make and present for and on behalf of Guarantor such proofs of claims against the Tenant, if the
Guarantor shall have failed to file any such proof of claim within thirty (30) days after Landlord has
requested Guarantor to file such proofs of claim on account of the Indebtedness hereby
subordinated, as Landlord may deem expedient or proper and to vote such proofs of claims in any
such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or
disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the
same on account of any of the Credit.
In the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete,
voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of the
Tenant or the proceeds thereof, to the creditors of the Tenant's business, or upon the sale of all or
substantially all of the Tenant's assets, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of
any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or

indebtedness of the Tenant, whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement,
receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding involving the
readjustment of all or any of the Indebtedness hereby subordinated, or the application of the assets
of the Tenant to the payment or liquidation thereof, Landlord shall be entitled to receive payment in

Indebtedness hereby subordinated, and in order to enable Landlord to enforce its rights hereunder in

subordinated, as Landlord may deem expedient or proper and to vote such proofs of claims in any
such proceeding and to receive and collect any and all dividends or other payments or
disbursements made thereon in whatever form the same may be paid or issued and to apply the
same on account of any of the Credit.

Tenant or the proceeds thereof, to the creditors of the Tenant's business, or upon the sale of all or
substantially all of the Tenant's assets, then, and in any such event, any payment or distribution of
any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or
deliverable upon or with respect to any or all of the Indebtedness shall be paid or delivered directly
to Landlord for application on any of the Credit, due or not due, until such Credit shall have first

Default, in the event that Guarantor shall fail or refuse to take any action that Landlord requests in
writing that the Guarantor take with respect to the Indebtedness within thirty (30) days of the
Guarantor's receipt of such request, Guarantor authorizes and empowers Landlord to demand, sue
for, collect and receive every such payment or distribution and give acquittance therefor and to file
claims and take such other proceedings, in Landlord's own name or in the name of Guarantor or
otherwise, as Landlord may deem necessary or advisable for the enforcement of this guaranty; and
Guarantor will execute and deliver to Landlord such powers of attorney, assignments or other
instruments or documents, as may be requested by Landlord in order to enable Landlord to enforce
any and all claims upon or with respect to any or all of the Indebtedness and to collect and receive
any and all payments of distributions which may be payable or deliverable at any time upon or with

Should any payment, distribution, security, instrument or proceeds which are
subject to the subordination contained in the first paragraph of this §8 be received by Guarantor
upon, or with respect to, the Indebtedness while such subordination provision is effective and prior
to the satisfaction of all of the Credit and termination of all financing arrangements between the
Tenant and Landlord, Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust as trustee, for the benefit of
Landlord and shall forthwith deliver the same to Landlord in precisely the form received (except for
the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application on any of the
-5-
Credit, due or not due, and until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the
property of Landlord. In the event of the failure of Guarantor to make any such endorsement or
assignment to Landlord, Landlord, or any of its officers or employees, is hereby irrevocably
authorized to make the same.
Any instrument evidencing any of the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof, will, on
the date hereof or promptly hereafter, be inscribed with a legend conspicuously indicating that
payment thereof is subordinated to the claims of Landlord, pursuant to the terms of this guaranty,
and will be delivered to Landlord upon request therefor after the declaration of an Event of Default,
if such original is necessary in order to enable Landlord to take any action permitted hereunder,
including, without limitation, the filing of proofs of claim on behalf of Guarantor.
This subordination shall continue and shall be irrevocable until all the terms,
covenants and conditions of the Credit have been fully and completely performed by Tenant or
otherwise discharged and released by Landlord, and the Guarantor shall not be released from any
