Guaranty Agreement



 Exhibit 10.18.2 

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE 

THIS GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE (this “Guaranty”) is made as of December 15, 2010, by
Newtek Business Services, Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York having an address at 1440 Broadway, 17th Floor, New York, NY 10018 (“Guarantor”), in favor of Capital One, N.A., having its principal place of
business at 275 Broadhollow Road, Melville, New York 11747 (“Lender”). 
 R E C I T A L S : 

WHEREAS, the Lender has agreed to make revolving loans to Newtek Small Business Finance, Inc., a majority owned subsidiary of
Guarantor (the “Borrower”) in the maximum principal amount not to exceed Twelve Million and No/100 dollars ($12,000,000.00) (collectively the “Loan”), which Loan is evidenced by a promissory note of even date herewith
(collectively, together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments thereof, the “Note”). 
 WHEREAS, the Loan is secured by, among other things, a Revolving Loan and Security Agreement (together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments thereof, the
“Loan and Security Agreement”; unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement), dated as of the date hereof, which
grants Lender a first priority lien on the Collateral. 
 WHEREAS, Lender requires as a condition to the making of the
Loan that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty for the benefit of Lender; and 
 WHEREAS, Guarantor
believes that the financing arrangements between Borrower and Lender will further the business and interests of Guarantor; 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby
acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrower, Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender as follows: 
 1. Authorization and Enforceability of Loan Documents. Guarantor has taken all steps required to authorize and has in its capacity as shareholder of the Borrower authorized the execution and
delivery of the Note and Loan and Security Agreement. To the best of its knowledge the Note and Loan and Security Agreement have been duly authorized and executed by Borrower and are legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Borrower
in accordance with their respective terms subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other legal or equitable principles now or hereafter in effect generally affecting creditors’ rights and remedies.

 2. Obligations Guaranteed. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to Lender (i) the prompt and unconditional
payment of all of the Obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, including without limit the Loan and the interest thereon, whether now or hereafter advanced, as the same shall become due and payable under the Note and the Loan and Security


  
 1 








 
Agreement, as well as under any whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and any and all sums of money which, at the time, may have become or become due and payable under the
provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the due and prompt performance of all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the Note, the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents;
(ii) payment in full of any and all expenses that may be paid or incurred by Lender in the collection of all or any portion of Guarantors’ obligations hereunder or the exercise or enforcement of any one or more of the other rights, powers,
privileges, remedies and interests of the Lender under the Loan Documents or hereunder, irrespective of the manner or success of any such collection, exercise or enforcement, and whether or not such expenses constitute part of the Borrower’
obligations; and (iii) performance of all Borrower’s (and all of the other entities guaranteeing the Loan) covenants and obligations contained herein and/or therein. Guarantor’s obligation to cause Borrower and the other guarantors to
take any action with respect to their respective covenants and obligations shall be limited to those actions consistent with its status as the sole stockholder (or as a member or majority stockholder as applicable) of such parties and shall be
exercised through the power consequent upon such status. 
 3. Unconditional Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute,
unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce Lender’s rights against Borrower or to collect from the Borrower or upon any
other condition or contingency; accordingly, Lender shall have the right to proceed against Guarantor immediately upon any Event of Default under the Loan Documents without taking any prior action or proceeding to enforce the Loan Documents or to
liquidate or foreclose on any security Lender may at any time hold pursuant thereto. Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101) which Guarantor may have against Borrower arising from a payment made by
Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or any other right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement. It is expressly understood that the waivers and agreements
of Guarantor constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to Lender for its security and as an inducement for its extension of credit to Borrower. 
 4. Liability Unimpaired. Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment, extension or
modification of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument made to or with Lender by Borrower or any other guarantor, or any Person who succeeds Borrower as owner of all or part of the Collateral prior to foreclosure of the
Loan and Security Agreement or exercise of any power of sale contained therein. In addition, Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of said
documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure of the Note or Loan and Security Agreement or any sale or transfer of all or part of the property covered by the Loan and Security Agreement, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of
said instruments limiting Lender’s recourse to the Collateral or to any other security, or limiting Lender’s rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrower, (iv) the release of Borrower or any other person (including, without limit,
any other guarantor) from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of said instruments by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any
security 

  
 2 








 
for the Loan, (vi) Lender’s failure to record the Loan and Security Agreement or file any UCC financing statements (or Lender’s improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to
otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Loan, (vii) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other
instrument or agreement executed or delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, except to the extent that there is a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of a valid defense to Borrower’s obligations under the Loan
Documents to payment of the Indebtedness, (viii) the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by Borrower in the Loan and Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any disbursement certificates or requests for
disbursements made under the Loan Agreement, or (ix) any other action or circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, a legal or equitable discharge or defense (except full payment and satisfaction) of
Borrower for its obligations under any of the Loan Documents or of any Guarantor under this Guaranty (whether as surety, guarantor or otherwise); and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Guarantor and with or without consideration.

 5. Preservation of Loan Documents. Guarantor will cause Borrower to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the
Loan Documents as the same may be modified and will not permit Borrower to take or to fail to take actions of any kind, the taking of which or the failure to take which might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has a defense to Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder. 
 6. Security; Events of Default. Pursuant to the terms of Guarantor Security Agreement of even
date herewith, as security for any and all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, now existing or hereafter arising hereunder or otherwise (collectively, the “Liabilities”), Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a lien upon
and a security interest in any and all moneys or other property (i.e., goods and merchandise, as well as any and all documents relative thereto, funds, securities, chooses in action and any and all other forms of property whether real, personal or
mixed, and any right, title or interest of Guarantor therein or thereto), and the proceeds thereof, which have been, or may hereafter be, deposited or delivered to the Lender (or with any third party acting on the Lender’s behalf) by or for the
account or credit of Guarantor whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, deposit, transmission, collection or otherwise and a lien upon and a security interest in all of its other assets pursuant to a security agreement of even date herewith. All
remittances and property shall be deemed delivered to the Lender as soon as put in transit to the Lender by mail or carrier. 

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events or any other agreement with Lender (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) Guarantor defaults under this Guaranty or any Loan Document or any other agreement with Lender to which Guarantor is a party; (b) any representation or warranty made by Guarantor herein or in any other Loan Document to which Guarantor
is a party is false or untrue as of the date such representation or warranty is made; (c) Guarantor commences any case, proceeding, or other action under any law of any jurisdiction relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or relief
of debtors or seeks to have an order for relief entered with respect to Guarantor or seeks to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeks reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with
respect to Guarantor or Guarantor’s debts, or seeks the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, or other similar official for Guarantor or for all or any substantial part of 

  
 3 








 
Guarantor’s property; (d) Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (e) there is commenced against Guarantor, any case, proceeding or other action of the
type referred to in clause (c) above or seeking the issuance of a warrant of attachment, execution, distrait, or similar process against all or any substantial part of Guarantor’s property, which case, proceeding or other action results in
an entry of an order for relief or is not dismissed, discharged or bonded within sixty days of the commencement thereof; (f) Guarantor takes any action indicating Guarantor’s consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in or in furtherance
of, any of the acts set forth in clause (c) and (e) above; (g) Guarantor admits in writing Guarantor’s inability to pay Guarantor’s debts as they mature; (h) Guarantor terminates or dissolves or suspends
Guarantor’s usual business activities or conveys, sells, leases, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or a substantial part of Guarantor’s property, business or assets other than in the ordinary course of business; (j) there shall
be any default under or demand made under any other financing agreement or guaranty to which it is a party; or (k) the existence or occurrence at any time of one or more conditions or events which, in the reasonable good faith opinion of the
Lender, has resulted or is reasonably likely to result in a material adverse change in the business, properties or financial condition of Guarantor, then, any or all of the obligations of Guarantor shall, at the Lender’s option, become (for the
purpose of this Guaranty) immediately due and payable by Guarantor, without demand or notice. In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by the Uniform
Commercial Code as in effect in New York State at that time. Guarantor agrees that in the event that notice is necessary, written notice provided in accordance with paragraph 26 of this Guaranty and given below five Business Days prior to the date
of public sale of the property subject to the lien and security interest created herein or prior to the date after which private sale or any other disposition of said property will be made shall constitute reasonable notice. 

7. Indemnification; Payments; Certain Waivers. Guarantor (i) waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshalling of
Borrower’s assets or to cause Lender to proceed against any of the security for the Loan or for the obligations guaranteed hereby before proceeding against Guarantor, (ii) agrees that any payments required to be made by Guarantor hereunder
shall become due on demand in accordance with the terms of paragraph 2 hereof and without presentment to Borrower, demand for payment or protest, or notice of non-payment or protest, and (iii) except as hereinafter provided, expressly waives
and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to guarantors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby waives all rights (x) to participate in any claim or remedy Lender may now or hereafter have
against Borrower or in any collateral which Lender has or hereafter may acquire for the obligations guaranteed hereby and (y) except as provided below, to contribution, indemnification, set-off, exoneration or reimbursement, whether from
Borrower, Guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of Borrower’ obligations to Lender, and whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of Guarantor’s execution,
delivery or performance of this Guaranty. Guarantor does not waive and hereby retains all rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnification, set-off or reimbursement against Borrower or any other guarantor that Guarantor may have (the
“Undersigned’s Rights”); provided, however, that (i) this Guaranty shall neither be contingent upon the existence of the Undersigned’s Rights nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be
asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Undersigned’s Rights including, without limitation, any claim that the Undersigned’s Rights were abrogated by any of Lender’ acts, and (ii) until the
Loan shall 

  
 4 








 
have been paid in full, Guarantor hereby postpones and subordinates (A) the exercise of any and all of the Undersigned’s Rights to Lender’s rights against Guarantor under this
Guaranty or against Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, and (B) any of the Undersigned’s Rights to any collateral securing the Loan. 
 8. Reinstatement. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated automatically, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the obligations guaranteed
hereby is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Lender (whether as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) upon or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower,
Guarantor or any other person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, either Borrower, Guarantor, any other Credit Party or any other person or for a substantial part
of Borrower’s, Guarantor’s, or any of such other person’s property, as the case may be, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be
restored or returned, all costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Lender in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall
constitute costs of enforcement, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to paragraph 2 above and covered by Guarantor’s indemnity pursuant to paragraph 7 above. 

9. Litigation, Compliance with Judgments. Guarantor represents and warrants with respect to itself that there are no actions,
suits or proceedings pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor, at law, in equity or before or by any governmental authorities which would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder; to
the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, Guarantor is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or governmental authorities. 
 10. No Conflicts. Guarantor represents and warrants with respect to itself that the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of this Guaranty and the other Loan
Documents to which Guarantor is a party have not resulted and will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, deed of trust, lease, bank loan or credit agreement, corporate charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or
other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor may be bound or affected. 
 11. Compliance with
Laws. Guarantor represents and warrants with respect to itself that Guarantor is in compliance with, and the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and this Guaranty do not and will not violate any provision of, or require any filing,
registration, consent or approval under, any federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, ordinance, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award (hereinafter, “Laws”) presently in effect having applicability to
Guarantor, and agrees that Guarantor will comply promptly with all laws now or hereafter in effect having applicability to Guarantor. 
 12. Accuracy of Information; Full Disclosure. Guarantor represents and warrants with respect to itself that neither this Guaranty nor any documents, financial statements, reports, notices,
schedules, certificates, statements or other writings furnished by or on behalf of Guarantor to Lender in connection with the negotiation of the Loan Documents or the 

  
 5 








 
consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, or required herein or by the other Loan Documents to be furnished by or on behalf of Guarantor, contains any untrue or misleading statement
of a material fact; there is no fact which Guarantor has not disclosed to Lender in writing which materially affects adversely any of the property covered by the Loan and Security Agreement or the business affairs or financial condition of
Guarantor, or the ability of Guarantor to perform this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party. 

13. Financial Statements and Covenants. (a) Guarantor represents and warrants with respect to itself that the most recent
financial statements heretofore delivered by Guarantor to Lender are true and correct in all respects, have been prepared in accordance with sound accounting principles consistently applied and fairly present Guarantor’s financial condition as
of the date thereof, and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition reflected therein since the date thereof. 
 (b) In the event Borrower shall make any loans or advances to Guarantor, the proceeds thereof shall be used solely (i) for working capital by Guarantor in the operation of its business in the
ordinary course, or (ii) except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default (as such terms are defined in the Loan and Security Agreement) or during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, for making loans and advances to
any other “Guarantor” as such term is defined in the Loan and Security Agreement; provided, such loans and advances are each at all times secured and fully subordinated to Lender, in each case pursuant to security documents and
subordination documents in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. 
 (c) Guarantor shall deliver to Lender or cause to be
delivered to Lender all financial statements required under the Loan and Security Agreement. 
 (d) Guarantor shall deliver to
Lender within twenty (20) days of filing, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the last permitted extension for filing without penalty, its signed federal tax returns. 

(e) Promptly after a written request therefor, such other financial data or information as the Lender may reasonably request from time to
time. 
 (f) Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that any now existing or hereinafter created loan from Guarantor to the Borrower
shall at all times be subordinate to the Loan in all respects and absent the consent of the Lender no repayments may be made by the Borrower in respect thereof. 
 (g) Guarantor shall at all times during the term of the Loan maintain its primary bank accounts with the Lender. 
 (h) Guarantor shall provide copies of all financial statements, reports and the like, as required pursuant to the Loan and Security Agreement. 

(i) Promptly upon its becoming available, Guarantor shall provide Lender with one copy of each financial statement, report, notice or
proxy statement sent by Guarantor to stockholders generally pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 

  
 6 








 
1934, as amended, and, a copy of each regular or periodic report, and any registration statement, or prospectus in respect thereof, filed by Guarantor with any securities exchange or with federal
or state securities and exchange commissions or any successor agency. 
 (j) Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that it shall
maintain all of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates as separate and independent entities consistent with the standards of Section 6.18 of the Loan and Security Agreement and shall not allow the Collateral under the Loan and Security Agreement to
become intermingled with any Person that is not a Credit Party, nor shall it suffer or permit any of the Collateral to be directly or indirectly pledged to any party other than the Lender. 

14. Non-Waiver Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on Lender’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under
any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other document made to or with Lender in connection with the Loan shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right or shall be deemed to constitute Lender’s acquiescence in any
default by Borrower or Guarantor under any of said documents. A waiver by Lender of any right or remedy under any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other document made to or with Lender in connection with the Loan on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Lender otherwise would have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided in said documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights
or remedies provided by law. 
 15. Transfers of Interests in Loan. Guarantor recognizes that Lender may sell and
transfer interests in the Loan to one or more participants and/or assignees (collectively, “Participants”) and that all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Borrower, Guarantor or
the Loan, may be exhibited or delivered on a confidential basis to and retained by any such Participant or prospective Participant, with a request to any prospective Participant to return such information if it does not become a Participant.

 16. Separate Indemnity. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Lender’s rights (and Guarantor’s obligations)
under this Guaranty shall be in addition to all of Lender’s rights (and all of Guarantor’s obligations) under any indemnity agreement executed and delivered to Lender by Borrower and/or Guarantor or any other guarantor in connection with
the Loan, and payments by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not reduce any of Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under any such indemnity agreement. 
 17. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty, or the application thereof to any person or circumstance, which, for any reason, in whole or in part, is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Guaranty (or the remaining portions of such provision) or the application thereof
to any other person or circumstance, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision (or portion thereof) or the application thereof to any person or circumstance in any
other jurisdiction. 

  
 7 








 18. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral or written agreements or statements relating to such subject matter, and none of the terms and provisions hereof may be waived, amended or terminated except by a written
instrument signed by the Person against whom enforcement of the waiver, amendment or termination is sought. 
 19. Successors
and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and Guarantor and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns. This Guaranty may be assigned by Lender with respect to all or
any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and when so assigned Guarantor shall be liable under this Guaranty to the assignee(s) of the portion(s) of the obligations guaranteed hereby so assigned without in any manner affecting the liability
of Guarantor hereunder to Lender with respect to any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereby retained by Lender. 
 20.
WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. GUARANTOR, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, LENDER, EACH HEREBY AGREE NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL
NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY GUARANTOR AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED
TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. GUARANTOR AND LENDER ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER. 
 21. ADDITIONAL WAIVERS IN THE EVENT OF ENFORCEMENT. GUARANTOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, IN
CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR ON BEHALF OF LENDER ON THIS GUARANTY, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT GUARANTOR MAY HAVE TO (I) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, (II) INTERPOSE ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN (OTHER THAN COMPULSORY
COUNTERCLAIMS), AND (III) HAVE THE SAME CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER OR SEPARATE SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. NOTHING HEREIN CONTAINED SHALL PREVENT OR PROHIBIT GUARANTOR FROM INSTITUTING OR MAINTAINING A SEPARATE ACTION AGAINST LENDER WITH
RESPECT TO ANY ASSERTED CLAIM. 
 22. Governing Law; Submission To Jurisdiction. This Guaranty and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall in all respects be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to New York’s principles of conflicts of law other than
Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law). Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of New York State or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York over any
suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty, and Guarantor hereby agrees and consents that, in addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of process in any such suit,
action or proceeding in 

  
 8 








 
any of the Courts of New York State or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York may be made by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, directed to
Guarantor at the address indicated below, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same shall have been so mailed. 
 23. Paragraph Headings. Any paragraph headings and captions in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction hereof. 

24. Liability Unaffected by Release. Subject only to written notice to Guarantor, any other Person liable upon or in respect of
any obligation hereby guaranteed, may be released without affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder. 
 25. Joint and
Several Obligations. If more than one Person comprises Guarantor, then each such Person’s obligations and liability under this Guaranty shall be joint and several. 
 26. Notices. Notices shall be given in the manner provided in the Loan and Security Agreement and with respect to Guarantor at the address set forth on the signature page hereto. Guarantor
acknowledges reviewing the notice provision contained in the Loan and Security Agreement and accepts the provisions thereof. 

27. Additional Indebtedness. Without the prior written consent of Lender, so long as any Indebtedness is outstanding, Guarantor
shall not incur any direct or indirect indebtedness for borrowed money other than (i) indebtedness to Lender, and (iii) unsecured trade indebtedness incurred in the ordinary course of business. Guarantor represents that no portion of the
collateral pledged to Lender under the Loan Documents is pledged to any other Person (other than with respect to the SBA Loans to the SBA). 
 28. Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.
