credit), such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall
be segregated from the other funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid
over to the Lender to be credited and applied in whole or in part by the Lender
against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, and all such
other fees and expenses in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents.

remedies of the Lender under this Guaranty are cumulative and, as such, are in

Guarantor agrees that, in addition to, and without limiting, any right of
setoff, the Lender's lien or counterclaim the Lender may otherwise have, the
Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to offset balances (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) held by it for the account of the
Guarantor, at any of the offices of the Lender, in Dollars or any other
currency, against any amount payable by the Guarantor to the Lender under this
Guaranty which is not paid when demanded (regardless of whether such balances
are then due to the Guarantor), in which case the Lender shall promptly notify

affect the validity of such offset.

      


      Section

address as may be designated in writing by the Guarantor to the Lender, and that
upon mailing of such process such service will be effective as if the Guarantor
were personally served. The Guarantor agrees that a final judgment in any such
action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any manner provided by law. The
Guarantor further waives any objection to venue in any such action or proceeding

proceeding brought against the Lender shall only be brought in such
courts.

      


      Section

Once a demand for payment is made on the Guarantor under this Guaranty,
the Guarantor will not (1) make any demand for payment of, or take any action to
accelerate, any obligation owed to the Guarantor by the Borrower, (2) seek to
collect payment of, or enforce any right or remedies against the Borrower, any
of the obligations owed to the Guarantor by the Borrower or any guarantees,
credit supports, collateral or other security related to or supporting any of
such obligations, or (3) commence, or join with any other creditor in
commencing, any bankruptcy or similar proceeding against the Borrower. The
Guarantor also agrees that the payment of all obligations of the Borrower to the
Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in time and right of payment in
accordance with the terms of this Section 21 to the
prior payment in full (in cash) of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of
such subordination, (1) to the extent possible, the Guarantor will not take or
receive from the Borrower any payments, in cash or any other property, by setoff
or any other means, of any or all of the obligations owed to the Guarantor by
the Borrower, or purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of such obligations,
or change the terms or provisions of any such obligations and (2) if for any
reason and under any circumstance the Guarantor receives a payment on such
obligation, whether in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding or otherwise, all such
payments or distributions upon or with respect to such obligations shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Lender, shall be segregated from other
funds and property held by the Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be
applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of
securities or other non-cash property) for, the payment or prepayment of the
Guaranteed Obligations.

      


      Section
22. Miscellaneous.
This Guaranty is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights
and remedies the Lender may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement
previously, contemporaneously or hereafter executed by the Guarantor or any
other party or by law or otherwise. If any provision of this Guaranty is
contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be deemed ineffective without
invalidating the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. Titles in this Guaranty
are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or
construction of this Guaranty. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement
between the Guarantor and the Lender with respect to the matters covered by this
Guaranty and supersedes all written or oral agreements with respect to such
matters.

      


      Section
