Guarantors hereby knowingly accept the full range of risk      encompassed within a contract of  "continuing guaranty" which risk      includes the possibility that Debtor will contract additional indebtedness      for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder after Debtor's financial      condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has      deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly authorized incurring such      additional indebtedness.

The      undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to      interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and      description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and      among Laurus, Debtor and/or the undersigned with respect to the      undersigned's obligations under this Guaranty, or which Debtor may      assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of      consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment      in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy,      statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.

If,      notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned      on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the      Obligations shall not have been paid in full and Laurus' obligation to      extend credit pursuant to the Documents shall not have been terminated,      such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for Laurus,      segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon,      and in any event within two (2) business days of, receipt by the      undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received by the      undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required), to      be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such      order as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents.       Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to      any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and      subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and      future debts and Obligations of Debtor to Laurus.
