				4.                  Loss of Security

					

				Any loss of or in respect of securities received by the Secured Party from the Debtor, the Guarantors or any other person, whether occasioned through default or negligence of the Secured Party or otherwise, shall not discharge pro tanto or lessen the liability of any of the Guarantors under this guarantee and postponement of claim.
