hereby waives any and all claims, rights or remedies which the undersigned may
now have or hereafter acquire against the Debtor that arises from the
undersigned's performance under this Guaranty or is in any way related hereto,

contribution, or indemnification, whether direct or indirect or arising by
contract, law, equity or otherwise. Further, the undersigned shall have no right
of contribution against other guarantors or right to pursue collection of other
indebtedness or obligations of Debtor to the undersigned or security therefore,
unless and until Bank shall have received payment in full of all indebtedness
and obligations of Debtor.

         The undersigned further agrees that, to the extent that the [Debtor
makes a payment to Bank, or Bank receives any proceeds of collateral, which
payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared
to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise is required to be
repaid to Debtor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including
without limitation, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law
or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the
obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such
amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and affect as of the date
such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred (said payments or
repayments being hereinafter referred to as "Recovered Payments"). The
undersigned shall defend and indemnify Bank of and from any claim or loss under
this paragraph including, without limitation, Bank's attorneys' fees and
expenses in the defense of any such action or suit. This Guaranty shall remain
in full force and effect until all Debtors indebtedness has been repaid to Bank;
PROVIDED HOWEVER, in the event there are Recovered Payments, this Guaranty shall
be reinstated (1) in the amount of the Recovered Payments, interest thereon at
the past due rate under the Note accruing from the date of Bank's payment of the
Recovered Payments, all costs of Bank's defense to the Recovered Payments and
all costs and expenses of collection and enforcement of this Guaranty, including
reasonable attorneys' fees; and (2) until any issue or controversy regarding any
Recovered Payments is judicially concluded and no right of appeal remains.

       This Guaranty is executed under and shall be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Indiana, without regard to any conflict of laws
provisions, and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and its successors or assigns
and shall be binding upon the undersigned and the undersigned's respective
heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives.
