 Dear Sirs:

 As an inducement to Branch Banking and Trust Company and/or BB&T Financial, FSB (collectively “Bank”), to extend credit to and
to otherwise deal with Southeast Power Corporation (“Borrower”), and in consideration thereof, the undersigned (and each of the undersigned jointly and severally if more than one) hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Bank
and its successors and assigns the due and punctual payment of any and all notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, primary or secondary (whether by way of endorsement or otherwise), of Borrower, at any time, now or hereafter, incurred
with or held by Bank, together with interest, as and when the same become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations or liabilities or agreements evidencing any
such indebtedness, obligation or liability including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof. The obligation of the undersigned is a guarantee of payment and not of collection. 
 The undersigned is Bank’s debtor for all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities for which this Guaranty is made, and Bank shall also at all times have a lien on and security interest in all
stocks, bonds and other securities of the undersigned at any time in Bank’s possession and the same shall at Bank’s option be held, administered and disposed of as collateral to any such indebtedness, obligation or liability of the
Borrower, and Bank shall also at all times have the right of set-off against any deposit account of the undersigned with Bank in the same manner and to the same extent that the right of set-off may exist against the Borrower. 

It is understood that any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities may be accepted or created by or with Bank at any time and from time to
time without notice to the undersigned, and the undersigned hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, protest, and notice of dishonor of any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities or other evidences of any such indebtedness,
obligation or liability. 
 Bank may receive and accept from time to time any securities or other property as collateral to any such notes,
drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, and may surrender, compromise, exchange and release absolutely the same or any part thereof at any time without notice to the undersigned and without in any manner affecting the obligation and liability of
the undersigned hereby created. The undersigned agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held for the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities for
which this Guaranty is made. 
 This obligation and liability on the part of the undersigned shall be a primary, and not a secondary, obligation
and liability, payable immediately upon demand without recourse first having been had by Bank against the Borrower or any other guarantor, person, firm or corporation, and without first resorting to any property held by Bank as collateral security;
and the undersigned hereby waives the benefits of all provisions of law, , for stay or delay of execution or sale of property or other satisfaction of judgment against the undersigned on account of obligation and liability hereunder until judgment
be obtained therefor against the Borrower and execution thereon returned unsatisfied, or until it is shown that the Borrower has no property available for the satisfaction of the indebtedness, obligation or liability guaranteed hereby, or until any
other proceedings can be had; and the undersigned hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank for all costs of collection, including but not limited to the costs of repossession, foreclosure, reasonable attorneys’ fees, and court costs incurred by the
Bank in the event that the Bank should first be required by the undersigned to resort to any property held by the Bank or in which the Bank has a security interest or to obtain execution or other satisfaction of a judgment against the Borrower on
account of Borrower’s obligation and liability for its indebtedness guaranteed hereby; and the undersigned further agrees that the undersigned is responsible for any obligation or debt, or portion thereof, of the Borrower to the Bank which has
been paid by the Borrower to the Bank and which the Bank is subsequently required to return to the Borrower or a trustee for the Borrower in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and the undersigned further agrees that none of the undersigned
shall have any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank unless and until all of the debts and obligations of the Borrower to Bank have
been paid in full. The undersigned hereby waives, to the extent avoidable under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, any right arising upon payment by the undersigned of any obligation under this Guaranty to assert a claim against the bankruptcy
estate of the Borrower. 
 This Guaranty is unlimited and applies to all indebtedness of Borrower to Bank, whether now existing or hereafter
arising and howsoever evidenced. 
 To secure the payment of all obligations of the undersigned hereunder, the undersigned hereby grants a
security interest and lien in the following goods and property owned by the undersigned: 
 The undersigned hereby agrees to execute and deliver
to Bank any security agreement, deed of trust, mortgage, UCC financing statement, or other document required by the Bank in order to protect or perfect its security interest or lien in the Collateral. This document shall constitute a security
agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of Florida (“Code”), and in addition to having all other legal rights and remedies, the Bank shall have all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Code. 

This agreement shall inure to the benefit of Bank, its successors and assigns, and the owners and holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities hereby guaranteed, and shall remain in force until a written notice revoking it has been received by Bank; but such revocation shall not release the undersigned from liability to Bank, its successors and assigns, or the owners and
holders of any of the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed, for any indebtedness, obligation or liability of the Borrower which is hereby guaranteed and then in existence or from any renewals, extensions or modifications
thereof in whole or in part, whether such renewals, extensions or modifications are made before or after such revocation, with or without notice to the undersigned. The undersigned waives presentment, demand, protest and notices of every kind and
assents to any one or more extensions, modifications, renewals or postponements of the time or amount of payment or any other indulgences given to Borrower. The undersigned shall be responsible for and shall reimburse the Bank for all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Bank in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty or the protection or preservation of any right or claim of the Bank in connection herewith, including without limitation
costs and expenses incurred by the Bank in connection with its attempts to collect the indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities guaranteed hereby.
