CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration, Guarantor absolutely and•unconditionally
guarantees full• and punctual payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all
Borrower's obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, so
Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even when Lender has not exhausted Lender's remedies against anyone else obligated to
pay the Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Indebtedness. Guarantor
will make any payments to Lender or its order, on demand, in legal tender of the United States of America, in same-day funds, without set-off or
deduction or counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrower's obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty,
Guarantor's liability is unlimited and Guarantor's obligations are continuing.
INDEBTEDNESS. The word "Indebtedness" as used in this Guaranty means all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any
one or more times, accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto permitted by law, reasonable
attorneys' fees, arising from any and all debts, liabilties and obligations of every nature or form, now existing or hereafter arising or acquired,
that Borrower individually or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe Lender. "Indebtedness" includes, without Ilmhation,
loans, advances, debts, overdraft indebtedness, credR card indebtedness, lease obligations, liabilities and obNgations under any interest rate
protection agreements or foreign currency exchange agreements or commodity price protection agreements, other obligations,. and liabilities of
Borrower, and any present or future judgments against Borrower, future advances, loans or transactions that renew, extend, modify, refinance,
con--solidate or substhute these debts, liabilities and obligations whether: voluntarily or involuntarily incurred; due or to become due by their
terms or acceleration; absolute or contingent; liquidated or unliquidated; determined or undetermined; direct or indirect; primary or secondary in
nature or arising from a guaranty or surety; secured' or unsecured; joint or • several or joint and several; evidenced by a negotiable or
non-negotiable instrument or writing; originated by Lender or another or others; barred or unenforceable against Borcower for any reason
whatsoever; for any transactions that may be voidable for any reason (such as infancy, insanity, ultra vitas or otherwise); and originated then
reduced or extinguished and then afterwards increased or reinstated.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties from Guarantor, Lender's rights under ell guaranties
shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shalt not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other guaranties.
Guarantor's liability will be Guarantor's aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other untermineted guaranties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A "CONTINUING GUARANTY" UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE THE FULL AND
PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR
HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE
INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR'S OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY
REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO
BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender wthout the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any
notice to Guaramor or to Borrower, end will continue in full force until all the Indebtedness incurced or contracted before receipt by Lender of
any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied end all of Guarantor's other obligations under this Guaranty shall have
been performed in full. If Guarantor elects. to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor's written notice of
revocation must be mailed to Lender, by certified mail, at Lender's address listed above or such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
Written revocation of this Guaranty will apply only to new Indebtedness created after actual receipt by Lender~of Guarantor's written revocation.
For this purpose and without limitation, the term "new Indebtedness" does not include the Indebtedness which et the time of notice of
revocation is contingent, unliquidated, undetermined- or not due and which later becomes absolute, ~ liquidated, determined or due. For this
purpose and without limitation, "new Indebtedness" does not include all or part of the Indebtedness that is: incurred by Borrower prior to
revocation; incurred under a commitment that became binding before revocation; any renewals, extensions, substitutions, and modifications of
the Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall-bind GUararKOf'8 estate as to the Indebtedness created both before and after Guarantor's death or
incapacity, regardless of Lender's actual notice of Guarantor's death. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantor's executor or administrator or other
legal representative may terminate this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor mIgM have terminated it and with the same effect.
Release of any other guarantor or termination of any other guaranty of the Indebtedness shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this
Guaranty. A revocation Lender receives from any one or more Guarantors shall not affect the liability of any remaining Guararrtora under this
Guaranty. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the Indebtedness covered by this Guaranty, and Guarantor
specifically acknowledges and agrees that reductions to the amount of the Indebtedness, even to zero dollars (;0.001, shah not constitute a
termination of this Guaranty. This Guaranty is bktding upon Guarantor and Guerantor'e heirs, successors and assigns so bng as any of the
Indebtedness rematna unpaid and even though the Indebtedness may from lane to lima be zero dollars I80.00).
