When making any demand hereunder against Guarantor, the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by the Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from any Borrower Party or any such other guarantor or any release of any Borrower Party or such other guarantor shall not relieve Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Lender against Guarantor.

14.    Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications provided for herein (including without limitation any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Guaranty) shall be given or made in writing (including without limitation by electronic transmission) delivered to the intended recipient at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature pages of the Loan Agreement, or, with respect to the Guarantor, at the “Address for Notices” specified below its name on the signature page hereof); or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party.  All such communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when transmitted electronically or personally delivered or, in the case of a mailed notice, upon receipt, in each case given or addressed as aforesaid.

‐12‐




prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
16.    Integration.  This Guaranty represents the agreement of Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and there are no promises or representations by the Lender relative to the subject matter hereof or thereof not reflected herein or therein.
17.    Amendments in Writing; No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.  
(b)    None of the terms or provisions of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Lender.

No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof.  No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  A waiver by the Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion.
(d)    The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
18.    Section Headings.  The section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.
