LIABILITY NOT DIMINISHED BY ACTS OF THE AGENT OR THE BORROWER













	
  

	
Except for payment of all sums due under the Loan Security, payment of the amount due under this Guarantee, or written discharge, no act or omission of the Agent or of the Borrower, before or after default, discharges or diminishes the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee and without restricting the foregoing, the Guarantor covenants with the Agent as follows:













	
  

	
(a)

	
the Agent may grant time and other indulgences to the Borrower, to a guarantor, or to any other person liable for all or any portion of the Principal Sum;













	
  

	
(b)

	
the Agent may modify, extend or renew (in either case, on the then current, or on new, terms), exchange, abstain from perfecting, discharge or abandon the Loan Security or any part of it or anything mortgaged or charged by it;













	
  

	
(c)

	
the Agent may enter into any agreement with the Borrower to vary the terms of any agreement affecting the payment or repayment of Principal Sum, including a change in the rate of interest chargeable on the Principal Sum;













	
  

	
(d)

	
the Agent may enter into any agreement or accept any compromise that has the effect of diminishing or extinguishing the liability of the Borrower to the Agent or the value of the Loan Security or the value of anything mortgaged by it;













	
  

	
(e)

	
the Agent need not ascertain or enforce compliance by the Borrower or any other person with any covenant under the Loan Security;

(g)

	
the Agent is not bound to seek recourse against the Borrower before requiring payment from the Guarantor and the Agent may enforce its various remedies under this Guarantee and the Loan Security or any part of it at any time, in any manner and in any order as the Agent may choose;













	
  

	
(h)

	
the Agent bears no duty to the Guarantor in respect of the liquidation of anything mortgaged under the Loan Security and, without restricting the foregoing, it is under no duty to avoid waste of, to obtain a fair price for or to avoid neglect in the liquidation of anything mortgaged under the Loan Security;













	
  

	
(i)

	
the Agent has no obligation to ensure that any Loan Security, other guarantee or security collateral to a guarantee is executed, perfected or delivered and, if by reason of want of authority or failure of execution and delivery or failure to comply with laws respecting perfection and registration of instruments or any other reason, any intended Loan Security, guarantee or collateral security is not granted, is unenforceable or becomes unenforceable, the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee remains enforceable and undiminished; and













	
  

	
(j)

	
the Guarantor confirms and agrees that any modifications of the loan terms or Loan Security may be agreed upon directly between the Agent and the Borrower without notice to the Guarantor and without the Guarantor’s further concurrence.

SUBROGATION













	
  

	
The Guarantor shall not be subrogated in any manner to any right of the Agent until all money due to the Agent under the Loan Security is paid.

RELEASE













	
  

	
If more than one person guarantees any of the obligations of the Borrower to the Agent under this Guarantee or any other instrument, the Agent may release any of those persons on any terms the Agent chooses and each person executing this Guarantee who has not been released shall remain liable to the Agent under this Guarantee as if the person so released had never guaranteed any of the obligations of the Borrower.













	
7. 

	
PAYMENT AND REMEDYING DEFAULTS













	
  

	
The Guarantor shall pay the amount guaranteed or rectify any default immediately upon receiving a demand from the Agent and shall do so whether or not the Agent has exhausted its recourses against the Borrower, other parties, the Loan Security or anything mortgaged under the Loan Security.  A demand is effectually made when a letter is posted to the address of the Guarantor last known to the Agent.













	
8. 

	
NO COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS OR REPRESENTATIONS













	
  

	
Any agreement between the Agent and the Guarantor diminishing the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee, altering any term of this Guarantee or imposing any condition against the operation of any such term is of no further force or effect.  Any representation made by the Agent having such effect is waived.  The Guarantor warrants that there are no agreements, representations or conditions that have been relied upon by the Guarantor that are not expressed in this Guarantee.

CHANGES MUST BE IN WRITING

The Guarantor shall not rely upon any future representation made by the Agent in respect of the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee unless such representation is in writing executed by the Agent.
