Lender, and the Borrower, by the unenforceability of the Note, in whole or in
part, for any reason whatsoever, by the release of any Guarantor or other
obligor or any collateral, or by any other act, omission, event or circumstance

operate as a defense, in whole or in part, to any obligation of a Guarantor or
which might invalidate, in whole or in part, a guarantee.

this paragraph is not paid within three days of the date of the demand, then
the undersigned jointly and severally
agree to pay interest thereon at the rate of 12% per annum compounded daily from the later of the date of the
demand or the date on which any Lender under the Note pays or expends the
amount demanded until the date the undersigned pays such amount to the Lender.

agreement or any other collateral before pursuing any of its rights or remedies

Note may pursue its rights and remedies in such order as it determines, and the
exercise by the Holder of the Note of any right or remedy will not preclude its
exercise of any other right or remedy.

any of its rights or remedies under this guarantee against any of the
undersigned without pursuing any of its rights or remedies against any of the

it.

guarantee may not be amended without the written approval of the Holder of the
Note.
