    GUARANTY
AGREEMENT

    (Brad
Bernstein)

     

    
    

    FOR TEN
DOLLARS ($10.00) in hand paid and in order to induce TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation in its capacity as agent (together with is successors in
such capacity, "Agent") for the Lenders (as hereinafter defined), and the
Lenders to make loans or extend credit from time to time, in accordance with the
terms of the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined), to ANCHOR FUNDING SERVICES, LLC,
a North Carolina limited liability company ("Debtor"), and for other good and
valuable consideration, the undersigned ("Guarantor") hereby unconditionally and
absolutely guarantees to Agent and Lenders the due and punctual payment,
performance and discharge (whether upon stated maturity, demand, acceleration or
otherwise in accordance with the terms thereof) of all such loans and extensions
of credit and all other debts, liabilities and obligations of Debtor to or held
by Agent or any Lender (including any portion thereof nominally held by Agent or
any Lender on behalf of others who have participations or interests therein
granted or created by Agent or such Lender) under the Loan and Security
Agreement dated November 21, 2008, among Debtor, the other financial
institutions party thereto (the "Lenders") and Agent in its capacity as agent
for the Lenders (as at any time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise
modified, the "Loan Agreement") and related loan documents, whether direct or
indirect, absolute or contingent, secured or unsecured, due or to become due,
liquidated or unliquidated, primary or secondary, joint or several, now existing
or hereafter arising, whether created directly to or acquired by assignment or
otherwise by Agent or any Lender, and whether Debtor may be liable individually
or jointly with others, and regardless of whether recovery upon any of such
loans or extensions of credit or other debts, liabilities and obligations
becomes barred by any statute of limitations, is void or voidable under any law
relating to fraudulent obligations or otherwise, or is or becomes invalid or
unenforceable for any other reason (all such debts, liabilities and obligations
being hereinafter referred to collectively as the
"Indebtedness").  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the term "Indebtedness" as used herein shall include all debts, liabilities and
obligations incurred by Debtor to Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement and
related loan documents, including reasonable attorneys' fees, in any bankruptcy
case of Debtor and any interest, fees or other charges accrued in any such
bankruptcy whether or not recoverable from Debtor or Debtor's estate under 11
U.S.C. § 506.

     

    Except
as otherwise provided herein, in no event shall Guarantor's liability under this
Guaranty exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount.  For purposes hereof,
the term "Maximum Guaranteed Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the sum of
(i) the Base Guaranteed Amount, and (ii) all costs and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred by Agent in enforcing the terms of this
Guaranty for the benefit of Lenders in collecting the Base Guaranteed Amount
pursuant to this Guaranty.  For purposes hereof, the term "Base
Guaranteed Amount" shall mean an amount equal to $250,000.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Guarantor's guaranty of the Indebtedness shall be unlimited and
for the full amount of the Indebtedness in the event that Agent seeks
enforcement of this Guaranty by reason of the occurrence of any Event of Default
arising from Debtor's or Guarantor's fraud, deceit, intentional
misrepresentation, material omission or other wrongful conduct in connection
with (i) any financial statements, Borrowing Base Certificates, Factoring
Documentation, collateral reports or other reports, statements or certificates
Borrower is required or elects to deliver to Agent under the Loan Agreement, and
(ii) the remittance of proceeds of collateral, the collection of payments from
Account Debtors and other monies or collections received by Borrower in respect
of the Collateral.

    All
capitalized terms used in this Guaranty, unless otherwise defined herein, shall
have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Loan Agreement.

     

    GUARANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES: notice of Agent's acceptance hereof; notice of the extension of
credit from time to time given by Agent and Lenders to Debtor and the creation,
existence or acquisition of any Indebtedness; notice of the amount of
Indebtedness of Debtor to Agent and Lenders from time to time, subject, however,
to Guarantor's right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the amount of
Indebtedness at any reasonable time; notice of any adverse change in Debtor's
financial condition or of any other fact which might increase Guarantor's risk;
notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice thereof as to any
instrument; notice of default or acceleration and all other notices and demands
to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; any right Guarantor may have, by
statute or otherwise, to require Agent or any Lender to institute suit against
Debtor after notice or demand from Guarantor or to seek recourse first against
Debtor or others, or to realize upon any security for the Indebtedness, as a
condition to enforcing Guarantor's liability and obligations hereunder; any
defense that Debtor may at any time assert based upon the statute of
limitations, the statute of frauds, failure of consideration, fraud, bankruptcy,
lack of legal capacity, usury, or accord and satisfaction; any defense that
other indemnity, guaranty or security was to be obtained; any defense or claim
that any Person purporting to bind Debtor to the payment of Indebtedness did not
have actual or apparent authority to do so; and any right to contest the
commercial reasonableness of the disposition of any or all collateral (to the
extent waivable under applicable law).  Guarantor further waives any
right Guarantor may have, by statute or otherwise, to appraisement, valuation,
stay of execution, or notice of election to declare due the amount of any
indebtedness of Debtor with regard to Agent's or any Lender's enforcement of any
security interest, lien, mortgage or other interest Agent or any Lender may hold
in any real or personal property of Debtor.

     

    If an
Event of Default under (and as defined in) the Loan Agreement (other than an
Event of Default arising by reason of Guarantor's death) shall occur and be
continuing, or if a petition for an order for relief with respect to Debtor
should be filed by or against Debtor or Guarantor under any chapter of the
Bankruptcy Code, or if a receiver, trustee or conservator should be appointed
for Debtor or Guarantor or any of Debtor's or Guarantor's property, or if
Guarantor should attempt to revoke this Guaranty or dispute Guarantor's
liability hereunder, then, in any such event and whether or not any of the
Indebtedness is then due and payable or the maturity thereof has been
accelerated or demand for payment thereof from Debtor has been made, upon notice
to Guarantor Agent may make the Indebtedness immediately due and payable
hereunder as to Guarantor, Agent shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of
Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall forthwith pay to Agent, for the benefit
of Lenders, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount or additional amounts as contemplated
by the terms of this Guaranty, if applicable, together plus such other amounts
as may be payable hereunder; provided that the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be automatically due and payable
without notice if an order for relief shall be filed with respect to Debtor
under the Bankruptcy Code.  Guarantor agrees to pay all expenses
incurred by Agent in connection with enforcement of Agent's rights under the
Guaranty, including court costs, collection charges and reasonable attorneys'
fees.

    Guarantor
consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Guarantor and without
affecting or impairing the liability or obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Agent may:  compromise or settle, extend the period of duration or the
time for the payment, discharge or performance of any of the Indebtedness or
increase the amount of the Indebtedness; refuse to enforce, or release any
Persons liable for the payment of any of the Indebtedness; increase, decrease or
otherwise alter the rate of interest payable with respect to the principal
amount of any of the Indebtedness or grant other indulgences to Debtor in
respect thereof; amend or modify in any manner, or terminate or release, any
documents or agreements evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the
Indebtedness (other than this Guaranty); release, surrender, exchange, modify or
impair any and all collateral, deposits or other property at any time securing
(directly or indirectly) any of the Indebtedness or on which Agent or any Lender
or any agent for Agent or such Lender at any time may have a lien; extend the
time of payment of any collateral consisting of accounts, notes, chattel paper
or other rights to the payment of money; refuse to enforce its rights or make
any compromise or settlement or agreement therefor, in respect of any and all of
such collateral, deposits and property, or with any party liable for the
Indebtedness, or with any other Person, whatsoever; or release or substitute any
one or more of the endorsers or guarantors of the Indebtedness, whether parties
to this instrument or not.

     

    Guarantor
consents and agrees that Agent shall be under no obligation to marshall any
assets in favor of Guarantor or against or in payment of any or all of the
Indebtedness.  Guarantor further agrees that, if and to the extent
Agent or any Lender receives any payment on account of any of the Indebtedness
(whether from Debtor, Guarantor or a third party obligor or from the sale or
other disposition of any collateral) and such payment or any part thereof is
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside
or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any
bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then the
part of the Indebtedness intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued
in full force and effect as if said payment had not been made.  The
foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall survive the termination or
revocation of this Guaranty.

     

    Guarantor
shall at such reasonable times as Agent requests furnish Guarantor's current
financial statements to Agent.

     

    This
Guaranty is a primary, immediate and original obligation of Guarantor and is an
absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness
and not of its collectibility only, is not contingent upon the exercise or
enforcement by Agent or any Lender of any remedies Agent or any Lender may have
against Debtor or others, or the enforcement of any lien or realization upon any
security Agent or any Lender may at any time possess, and shall remain in full
force and effect without regard to future changes in conditions, including
change of law or any invalidity or irregularity with respect to the issuance of
any obligations of Debtor to Agent or any Lender or with respect to the
execution and delivery of any agreement among Debtor, Agent and
Lenders.  This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other present or
future guaranty, agreement regarding the validity of collateral or other
security for any of the Indebtedness, shall not be prejudiced or unenforceable
by the invalidity of any such other guaranty, agreement or security, and amounts
paid in respect of any such other guaranty, agreement or security shall not be
credited or offset against sums owing under this Guaranty.  This
Guaranty is not conditioned upon or subject to the execution by any other Person
of this Guaranty or any other guaranty or suretyship agreement. No payment of
any of the Indebtedness by Debtor or any other Person, or from the proceeds of
any property securing the payment of any Indebtedness, shall reduce or otherwise
affect Guarantor's liability hereunder for the payment of any remaining
Indebtedness.

    Agent
shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantor to the full extent
provided for herein and in any other document or instrument evidencing
obligations of Guarantor to Agent and Lenders, and against Debtor to the full
extent provided for in the Loan Agreement.  No election to proceed in
one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation,
shall constitute a waiver of Agent's right to proceed in any other form of
action or proceeding or against other parties unless Agent has expressly waived
such right in writing.

     

    Guarantor
is fully aware of the financial condition of Debtor.  Guarantor
delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor's own independent
investigation and in no part upon any representation or statement of Agent or
any Lender with respect thereto.  Guarantor is in a position to and
hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information
concerning, Debtor's financial condition as Guarantor may deem material to
Guarantor's obligations hereunder and Guarantor is not relying upon, nor
expecting Agent or any Lender to furnish it or any information in Agent's or any
Lender's possession concerning Debtor's financial
condition.  Guarantor hereby knowingly accepts the full range of risks
encompassed within a contract of "Guaranty," which risks include, without
limitation, the possibility that Debtor will contract additional indebtedness
for which Guarantor may be liable hereunder after Debtor's financial condition
or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has
deteriorated.

     

    If for
any reason Debtor has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to
discharge any of the Indebtedness, or if any of the Indebtedness have become
unrecoverable from Debtor by reason of Debtor's insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization or by other operation of law or for any other reason, this
Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on Guarantor to the same extent as if
Guarantor had at all times been the principal obligor on all such
Indebtedness.  In the event that acceleration of the time for payment
of any of the Indebtedness is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of debt or for any other reason, all such amounts otherwise
subject to acceleration under the terms of any instrument or agreement
evidencing or securing the payment of the Indebtedness or otherwise executed in
connection therewith shall be immediately due and payable by
Guarantor.

     

    Guarantor
agrees that this Guaranty shall be irrevocable and shall continue in full force
and effect until all of the Indebtedness has been fully paid and discharged and
all commitments of Agent and Lenders under the Loan Agreement have been
terminated.  If Guarantor shall have any right under applicable law to
terminate or revoke this Guaranty, which right cannot be waived by Guarantor,
Guarantor agrees that such termination or revocation shall not be effective
until a written notice of such termination or revocation, specifically referring
to this Guaranty and signed by Guarantor, is actually received by Agent; but any
such termination or revocation shall not affect the right and power of Lender to
enforce rights arising, incurred or contracted for prior to Agent's receipt of
such written notice of termination or revocation.  If Agent or Lenders
grant loans or other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Debtor or
take other action after the termination or revocation by Guarantor but prior to
Agent's receipt of such written notice of termination or revocation, then the
rights of Agent under the Guaranty with respect to such loans or other
extensions of credit shall be the same as if such termination or revocation had
not occurred.

    Guarantor
agrees that all the rights, benefits and privileges herein and hereby conferred
upon Agent shall vest in and be enforceable by Agent and its successors and
assigns.

     

    To the
extent any performance of this Guaranty would violate any applicable usury
statute or other applicable law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced
to the limit legally permitted, so that this Guaranty shall not require any
performance in excess of the limit legally permitted, but such obligations shall
be fulfilled to the limit of the legal validity.  The provisions of
the paragraph shall control every other provision of this Guaranty.

     

    This
Guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted according to the
internal laws of the State of Rhode Island.  As part of the
consideration for Agent's and Lenders' granting credit to Debtor, Guarantor
hereby agrees that all actions, suits or proceedings arising directly or
indirectly hereunder may, at the option of Agent, be litigated in any court
having situs within the State of Rhode Island, and Guarantor hereby expressly
consents to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within said
state, and consents that any service of process in such action or proceedings
may be made by personal service upon Guarantor wherever Guarantor may be then
located, or by certified or registered mail directed to Guarantor at Guarantor's
last known address.

     

    This
Guaranty expresses the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof and may not be changed orally, and no obligation of
Guarantor can be released or waived by Agent or any officer or agent of Agent,
except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of Agent.  In
the event Agent receives a guaranty at least as favorable to Agent and Lenders
as this Guaranty from another Person acceptable to Agent in its sole discretion,
Agent shall terminate this Guaranty.

     

    Until all
of the Indebtedness has been paid in full and the Loan Agreement and all
commitments thereunder have been terminated, Guarantor shall have no claim,
right or remedy (whether or not arising in equity, by contract or applicable
law) against Debtor or any other Person by reason of Guarantor's payment or
other performance hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates to the full and final payment of the
Indebtedness any and all legal or equitable rights or claims that Guarantor may
have to reimbursement, subrogation, indemnity and exoneration and agrees that
until all of the Indebtedness has been paid in full and the Loan Agreement has
been terminated, Guarantor shall have no recourse to any assets or property of
Debtor (including any assets securing any of the Indebtedness) and no right of
recourse against or contribution from any other Person in any way directly or
contingently liable for any of the Indebtedness, whether any of such rights
arise under contract, in equity or under applicable law.

     

    As used
herein, all references to the term "Guarantor" shall mean Guarantor and
Guarantor's personal representatives and assigns (including any receiver,
trustee or custodian for Guarantor or any of his assets or Guarantor in his
capacity as debtor or debtor-in-possession under the United States Bankruptcy
Code); all references to the term "Agent" shall mean Agent and its successors
and assigns; and all references to the term "Debtor" shall mean Debtor and its
successors and assigns (including any receiver, trustee or custodian for Debtor
or any of his assets or Debtor in his capacity as debtor or debtor-in-possession
under the United States Bankruptcy Code); all references to the term "Person"
wherever used herein shall mean any individual, sole proprietorship,
partnership, corporation, business trust, limited liability company,
unincorporated association, joint stock corporation, trust, joint venture or
other form of business entity or any government or any agency or instrumentality
or political subdivision thereof; all references to the plural shall also mean
the singular, and all references to the singular shall also mean the plural; and
all references to "include" or "including" shall mean "including, without
limitation."

     

    This
Guaranty is intended to take effect as a sealed instrument under the laws of the
State of Rhode Island.

     

    To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor and Agent each hereby
waives the right to a jury trial in any action, suit, proceeding, or
counterclaim arising out of or related to this guaranty, and Guarantor further
waives any rights arising under applicable statutes or otherwise to require
Agent to institute suit against Debtor or any other Person liable for any of the
Indebtedness or to exhaust Agent's rights and remedies against Debtor or any
other Person liable for any of the Indebtedness, Guarantor being bound to the
payment of any and all Indebtedness to the extent provided herein.

    CONTINUING GUARANTY
AGREEMENT

    

    THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT
(this "Guaranty") is made on November 21, 2008, by ANCHOR FUNDING SERVICES, INC.,
a Delaware corporation with a mailing address at 10801 Johnston Road, Suite 210,
Charlotte, North Carolina 28226 ("Guarantor"), in favor of each of the financial
institutions (collectively, "Lenders") now or hereafter parties to the Loan
Agreement (as defined below) and TEXTRON FINANCIAL CORPORATION,
a Delaware corporation with a mailing address at 11575 Great Oaks Way, Suite
210, Alpharetta, Georgia 30022, as administrative and collateral agent
(in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, the "Agent")
for each of the Lenders (Agent and each Lender being referred to individually as
a "Guaranteed Party" and collectively as the "Guaranteed Parties").

    Recitals:

     

    Guaranteed
Parties are parties with ANCHOR
FUNDING SERVICES, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company
("Borrower"), to a certain Loan and Security Agreement dated November 21, 2008
(as at any time amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified, the "Loan
Agreement").  Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, Guaranteed Parties have
agreed, subject to all the terms and conditions thereof, to make loans and other
extensions of credit to Borrower from time to time secured by security interests
in and liens upon certain assets of Borrower.

     

    A
condition set forth in the Loan Agreement to Guaranteed Parties' obligation to
make loans or other extensions of credit to Borrower is Guarantor's execution
and delivery of this Guaranty.

     

    To induce
Guaranteed Parties to make loans or otherwise extend credit or other financial
accommodations from time to time to Borrower under the Loan Agreement, Guarantor
is willing to execute this Guaranty.

     

    Agreement:

     

    NOW,
THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10) in hand paid and in consideration of the
premises and the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein, Guarantor
hereby agrees as follows:

     

    
    

    1. Definitions;
Rules of Construction.  Capitalized terms
used herein, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to them
in the Loan Agreement.  As used herein, the words "herein," "hereof,"
"hereunder," and "hereon" shall have reference to this Guaranty taken as a whole
and not to any particular provision hereof; and the word "including" shall mean
"including, without limitation."

     

    2. Guaranty.  (a)  Guarantor
hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to each Guaranteed Party the
due and punctual payment, performance and discharge (whether upon stated
maturity, demand, acceleration or otherwise in accordance with the terms
thereof) of all of the Obligations, whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, secured or unsecured, due or to become due, joint or several,
primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, now existing or hereafter
incurred, created or arising, and howsoever evidenced, whether created directly
to or acquired by assignment or otherwise by any Guaranteed Party, and whether
Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, and regardless of
whether recovery upon any of such Obligations becomes barred by any statute of
limitations, is void or voidable under any law relating to fraudulent
obligations or otherwise or is or becomes invalid or unenforceable for any other
reason (all of the Obligations being jointly referred to herein as the
"Guaranteed Obligations").  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the term "Guaranteed Obligations" as used herein shall include all
debts, liabilities and obligations incurred by Borrower to any of Guaranteed
Parties in any bankruptcy case of Borrower and any interest, fees or other
charges accrued in any such bankruptcy, whether or not any such interest, fees
or other charges are recoverable from Borrower or its estate under 11 U.S.C. §
506.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        1

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    (b)            No
Guaranteed Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of
Guarantor or in payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations.  If and
to the extent any Guaranteed Party receives any payment on account of any of the
Guaranteed Obligations (whether from Borrower, Guarantor or a third party
obligor or from the sale or other disposition of any Collateral) and such
payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee,
receiver or any other Person under
any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy or other insolvency law, common law or
equitable cause, then the part of the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if said
payment had not been made.  The foregoing provisions of this paragraph
shall survive payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Guaranty.

     

    (c)            Guaranteed
Parties shall have the right to seek recourse against Guarantor to the full
extent provided for herein and against Borrower to the full extent provided for
in any of the Loan Documents.  No election to proceed in one form of
action or proceeding, or against any Person, or on any obligation, shall
constitute a waiver of any Guaranteed Party's right to proceed in any other form
of action or proceeding or against any other Person unless such Guaranteed Party
has expressly waived such right in writing.  Specifically, but without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by Guaranteed
Parties against Borrower under the Loan Documents or any other instrument or
agreement evidencing or securing Guaranteed Obligations shall serve to diminish
the liability of Guarantor for the balance of the Guaranteed
Obligations.

     

    3. Nature of
Guaranty.  This Guaranty is
a primary, immediate and original obligation of Guarantor; is an absolute,
unconditional, continuing and irrevocable guaranty of payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations and not of collectibility only; is not contingent upon the exercise
or enforcement by Guaranteed Parties of whatever rights or remedies Guaranteed
Parties may have against Borrower or others, or the enforcement of any Lien or
realization upon any Collateral or other security that any of Guaranteed Parties
may at any time possess; and shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to future changes in conditions, including change of law or any
invalidity or unenforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations or agreements
evidencing same.  This Guaranty shall be in addition to any other
present or future guaranty or other security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, shall not be prejudiced or unenforceable by the invalidity of any
such other guaranty or security, and is not conditioned upon or subject to the
execution by any other Person of
this Guaranty or any other guaranty or suretyship agreement.

    4. Payment
and Enforcement of Guaranteed Obligations.  (a)  If
Guarantor should dissolve or become insolvent (within the meaning of the Rhode
Island Uniform Commercial Code), or if a petition for an order for relief with
respect to Guarantor should be filed by or against Guarantor under any chapter
of the Bankruptcy Code, or if a receiver, trustee, conservator or other
custodian should be appointed for Guarantor or any of Guarantor's property, or
if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, then, in any such event
and whether or not any of the Guaranteed Obligations are then due and payable or
the maturity thereof has been accelerated or demand for payment thereof has been
made, Guaranteed Parties may, without notice to Guarantor, make the Guaranteed
Obligations immediately due and payable hereunder as to Guarantor, and
Guaranteed Parties shall be entitled to enforce the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder as if the Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable in
full.  If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are collected by or
through an attorney at law, Guarantor agrees to pay to Guaranteed Parties
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs.  Guarantors shall be
obligated to make multiple payments under this Guaranty to the extent necessary
to cause full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     

    (b)           Any
and all payments by Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any setoff, counterclaim, or withholding so that, in each
case, Guaranteed Parties shall receive, after giving effect to any taxes
(excluding taxes imposed on the overall net income of Guaranteed Parties to the
extent excluded pursuant to the Loan Agreement), the full amount that they would
otherwise be entitled to receive with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (but
without duplication of amounts for taxes already included in the Guaranteed
Obligations).  If for any reason Borrower has no legal existence or is
under no legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or if
any of the Guaranteed Obligations become unrecoverable from Borrower by reason
of Borrower's insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization or by other operation of
law or for any other reason, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be binding on
Guarantor to the same extent as if Guarantor had at all times been the principal
obligor on all such Guaranteed Obligations.  If acceleration of the
time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution or reorganization of debt or for any other
reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of
any Loan Documents or other instrument or agreement evidencing or securing the
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall nevertheless be immediately due and
payable by Guarantor.

     

    (c)            Guarantor
acknowledges that Agent is authorized and empowered to enforce this Guaranty for
the benefit of all of the Guaranteed Parties and to collect from Guarantor the
amount of the Guaranteed Obligations from time to time, in Agent's own name and
without the necessity of joining any other Guaranteed Party in any action, suit
or other proceeding to enforce this Guaranty.

     

    5. Specific
Waivers of Guarantor.  (a)  To
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor
does hereby waive notice of each Guaranteed Party's acceptance hereof and
reliance hereon; notice of the extension of credit from time to time by
Guaranteed Parties to Borrower and the creation, existence or acquisition of any
Guaranteed Obligations; notice of the amount of Guaranteed Obligations of
Borrower to Guaranteed Parties from time to time (subject, however, to
Guarantor's right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the amount of Guaranteed
Obligations at any reasonable time); notice of any adverse change in Borrower's
financial condition or of any other fact which might increase Guarantor's risk;
notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice thereof as to any
instrument; notice of default or acceleration; all other notices and demands to
which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; any right Guarantor may have, by
statute or otherwise, to require Guaranteed Parties to institute suit against
Borrower after notice or demand from Guarantor or to seek recourse first against
Borrower or otherwise, or to realize upon any security for the Guaranteed
Obligations, as a condition to enforcing Guarantor's liability and obligations
hereunder; any defense that Borrower may at any time have or assert based upon
the statute of limitations, the statute of frauds, failure of consideration,
fraud, bankruptcy, lack of legal capacity, usury, or accord and satisfaction;
any defense that other indemnity, guaranty, or security was to be obtained; any
defense or claim that any Person purporting
to bind Borrower to the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations did not
have actual or apparent authority to do so; any right to contest the commercial
reasonableness of the disposition of any Collateral; any defense or claim that
any other act or failure to act by any Guaranteed Party had the effect of
increasing Guarantor's risk of payment; and any other legal or equitable defense
to payment hereunder.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Guarantor waives all rights to require Guaranteed Parties to proceed
against Borrower.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    (b)            To
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor also hereby waives and
renounces (for itself and its successors) any and all rights or defenses arising
by reason of any "one action" or "anti-deficiency" law which would otherwise
prevent Guaranteed Parties from bringing any action, including any claim for a
deficiency, or exercising any other right or remedy (including any right of
setoff) against Guarantor before or after any Guaranteed Party's commencement or
completion of any foreclosure action, whether by judicial action, by exercise of
power of sale or otherwise, or any other law which in any other manner would
otherwise require any election of remedies by any Guaranteed Party; and any
right that Guarantor may have to claim or recover in any litigation arising out
of this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to,
actual damages.

     

    6. Guarantor's
Consents and Acknowledgments.  (a)  Guarantor
consents and agrees that, without notice to or by Guarantor and without
reducing, releasing, diminishing, impairing or otherwise affecting the liability
or obligations of Guarantor hereunder, any Guaranteed Party may (with or without
consideration) compromise or settle any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
accelerate the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; extend the
period of duration or the time for the payment, discharge or performance of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations; increase the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations; refuse to enforce, or release all or any Persons liable for the
payment of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations; increase, decrease or otherwise
alter the rate of interest payable with respect to the principal amount of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or grant other indulgences to Borrower in respect
thereof; amend, modify, terminate, release, or waive any Loan Documents or any
other documents or agreements evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the
Guaranteed Obligations (other than this Guaranty); release, surrender, exchange,
modify or impair, or consent to the sale, transfer or other disposition of, any
Collateral or other property at any time securing (directly or indirectly) any
of the Guaranteed Obligations or on which Guaranteed Parties may at any time
have a Lien; fail or refuse to perfect (or to continue the perfection of) any
Lien granted or conveyed to any Guaranteed Party with respect to any Collateral,
or to preserve rights to any Collateral, or to exercise care with respect to any
Collateral in any Guaranteed Party's possession; extend the time of payment of
any Collateral consisting of accounts, notes, chattel paper, payment intangibles
or other rights to the payment of money; refuse to enforce or forbear from
enforcing its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral or any Person
liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations or make any compromise or
settlement or agreement therefor in respect of any Collateral or with any party
to the Guaranteed Obligations; release or substitute any one or more of the
endorsers or guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether parties to this
Guaranty or not; subordinate payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the
payment of any other liability of Borrower; or apply any payments or proceeds of
Collateral received to the liabilities of Borrower to any Guaranteed Party
regardless of whether such liabilities consist of Guaranteed Obligations and
regardless of the manner order or of any such application.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        4

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    (b)            Guarantor
is fully aware of the financial condition of each Borrower.  Guarantor
delivers this Guaranty based solely upon Guarantor's own independent
investigation and in no part upon any representation or statement of any
Guaranteed Party with respect thereto.  Guarantor is in a position to
and hereby assumes full responsibility for obtaining any additional information
concerning each Borrower's financial condition as Guarantor may deem material to
Guarantor's obligations hereunder and Guarantor is not relying upon, nor
expecting any Guaranteed Party to furnish Guarantor, any information in any
Guaranteed Party's possession concerning Borrower's financial
condition.  If any Guaranteed Party, in its sole discretion,
undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any information to
Guarantor regarding Borrower, any of the Collateral or any transaction or
occurrence in respect of any of the Loan Documents, such Guaranteed Party shall
be under no obligation to update any such information or to provide any such
information to Guarantor on any subsequent occasion. Guarantor hereby
knowingly accepts the full range of risks encompassed within a contract of
"Guaranty," which risks include, without limitation, the possibility that
Borrower will contract additional Guaranteed Obligations for which Guarantor may
be liable hereunder after Borrower's financial condition or ability to pay their
lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated.

     

    7. Continuing
Nature of Guaranty.  (a)  This
Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Guaranteed
Obligations have been fully paid and discharged (or, in the case of contingent
obligations, such as those arising from Letters of Credit, cash collateralized
as required by the Loan Documents) and all financing commitments under the Loan
Agreement or otherwise have been terminated.  Guarantor acknowledges
that there may be future advances by Guaranteed Parties to Borrower (although
Guaranteed Parties may be under no obligation to make such advances) and that
the number and amount of the Guaranteed Obligations are unlimited and may
fluctuate from time to time hereafter, and this Guaranty shall remain in force
at all times hereafter, whether there are any Guaranteed Obligations outstanding
from time to time or not.

     

    (b)           To
the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, Guarantor waives any right that
Guarantor may have to terminate or revoke this Guaranty.  If,
notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, Guarantor shall nevertheless have any
right under Applicable Law to terminate or revoke this Guaranty, which right
cannot be waived by Guarantor, such termination or revocation shall not be
effective until a written notice of such termination or revocation, specifically
referring to this Guaranty and signed by Guarantor, is actually received by an
officer of Agent who is familiar with Borrower's account with Guaranteed Parties
and this Guaranty; but any such termination or revocation shall not affect the
obligation of Guarantor or Guarantor's successors or assigns with respect to any
of the Guaranteed Obligations owing to Guaranteed Parties and existing at the
time of the receipt by Agent of such revocation or to arise out of or in
connection with any transactions theretofore entered into by Guaranteed Parties
with or for the account of Borrower.  If any Guaranteed Party grants
loans or other extensions of credit to or for the benefit of Borrower or takes
other action after the termination or revocation by Guarantor but prior to
Agent's receipt of such written notice of termination or revocation, then the
rights of such Guaranteed Party hereunder with respect thereto shall be the same
as if such termination or revocation had not occurred.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        5

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

     

    8. Lien and
Offset Rights.  In addition to
all Liens upon and rights of setoff that Guaranteed Parties may have against
Guarantor or any property of Guarantor under any other agreement with Guarantor
or pursuant to Applicable Law, Agent shall have, with respect to Guarantor's
obligations under this Guaranty and to the extent permitted by Applicable
Law,
a contractual possessory security interest in and a contractual right of setoff
against, and Guarantor hereby grants Agent, for the benefit of Guaranteed
Parties, a security interest in, and hereby assigns, conveys, pledges and
transfers to Agent, for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties, all of Guarantor's
right, title and interest in and to all of Guarantor's deposits, moneys,
securities and other property now or hereafter in the possession of or on
deposit with Agent or any direct or indirect subsidiary or affiliate of Agent,
whether held in a general or special account or deposit, whether held jointly
with another Person, and whether held for safekeeping or otherwise (excluding,
however, any trust accounts).  Each such security interest and right
of setoff may be exercised without demand upon or notice to
Guarantor.

     

    9. Subordination;
Postponement of Subrogation Rights.  (a)  Any
and all present and future debts and obligations of Borrower to Guarantor are
hereby subordinated to the full payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by
Borrower to Guaranteed Parties.  If any payment shall be made to
Guarantor on account of any indebtedness owing by Borrower to Guarantor during
any time that any Guaranteed Obligations are outstanding, Guarantor shall hold
such payment in trust for the benefit of Guaranteed Parties and shall make such
payments to Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the discretion of Guaranteed
Parties.  The provisions of this Guaranty shall be supplemental to and
not in derogation of any rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party or any
affiliate of any Guaranteed Party under any separate subordination agreement
that such Guaranteed Party or such affiliate may at any time or from time to
time enter into with Guarantor.

     

    (b)           Until
the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement and all
commitments of Guaranteed Parties thereunder have been terminated, Guarantor
shall not assert any claim, right or remedy (whether or not arising in equity,
by contract or Applicable Law) against Borrower or any other Person by reason of
Guarantor's payment or other performance hereunder.  Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby subordinates to the full and
final payment of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all legal or equitable
rights or claims that Guarantor may have to reimbursement, subrogation,
indemnity and exoneration and agrees that until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full and the Loan Agreement and all commitments
thereunder have been terminated, Guarantor shall have no recourse to any assets
or property of Borrower (including any Collateral) and no right of recourse
against or contribution from any other Person in any way directly or
contingently liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether any of such
rights arise under contract, in equity or under Applicable Law.

    10. Other
Guaranties.  If on the date of Guarantor's execution of this
Guaranty or at any time thereafter any Guaranteed Party receives any other
guaranty from Guarantor or from any other Person of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, the execution and delivery to such Guaranteed Party and such
Guaranteed Party's acceptance of any such additional guaranty shall not be
deemed in lieu of or to supersede, terminate or diminish this Guaranty, but
shall be construed as an additional or supplementary guaranty unless otherwise
expressly provided in such additional or supplementary guaranty; and if, prior
to the date hereof, Guarantor or any other Person has given to any Guaranteed
Party a previous guaranty or guaranties, this Guaranty shall be construed to be
an additional or supplementary guaranty and not to be in lieu thereof or to
supersede, terminate or diminish such previous guaranty or
guaranties.

     

    11. Application
of Payments.  Unless otherwise required by Applicable Law or a
specific agreement to the contrary, all payments received by Guaranteed Parties
from Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations or from proceeds of the Collateral may be applied (or reversed and
reapplied) by Guaranteed Parties to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance
with the Loan Agreement, without affecting in any manner Guarantor's liability
hereunder.

     

    12. Limitation
on Guaranty.  To the extent any
performance of this Guaranty would violate any applicable usury statute or other
Applicable Law, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit
legally permitted, so that this Guaranty shall not require any performance in
excess of the limit legally permitted, but such obligations shall be fulfilled
to the limit of legal validity.  Nothing in this Guaranty shall be
construed to authorize Guaranteed Parties to collect from Guarantor any interest
that has not yet accrued, is unearned or subject to rebate or is otherwise not
entitled to be collected by Guaranteed Parties under Applicable Law.  The
provisions of this paragraph shall control every other provision of this
Guaranty.

     

    13. Financial
Information; Disclosure.  Guarantor shall provide to Agent such
information regarding Guarantor's assets, liabilities and financial condition
generally as Agent may from time to time request, including copies of
Guarantor's tax returns and financial statements.  If any Guaranteed
Party elects to assign or sell participations in any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or the Loan Documents, including this Guaranty, such Guaranteed
Party may forward to each assignee or participant and each prospective assignee
or participant all documents and information relating to this Guaranty or to
Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrower, Guarantor or any other
Person.

     

    14. Notices.  All
notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals and other communications
required or permitted hereunder must be in writing and shall be effective upon
receipt by the noticed party.  Acceptable methods for giving notices
hereunder shall include first-class U.S. mail, facsimile transmission and
commercial courier service.  Regardless of the manner in which notice
is provided, notices may be sent to the addresses for Agent and Guarantor as set
forth above or to such other address as either party may give to the other for
such purpose in accordance with this paragraph.

    15. Governing
Law; Venue.  This Guaranty, all acts and transactions hereunder
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed,
construed and interpreted according to the internal laws of the State of Rhode
Island.  All actions, suits or proceedings arising directly or
indirectly hereunder may, at the option of Agent, be litigated in courts having
suits within the State of Rhode Island, and Guarantor hereby expressly consents
to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within said state and
agrees that any service of process in such action or proceedings may be made by
personal service upon Guarantor wherever Guarantor may be then located, or by
certified or registered mail directed to Guarantor at Guarantor's last known
address; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent Guaranteed
Parties from bringing any action, enforcing any Lien or
judgment or exercising any rights or remedies against Guarantor, against any
Collateral, or against any property of Guarantor, within any other county, state
or other foreign or domestic jurisdiction.  Guarantor waives any
objection to venue and any objection based on a more convenient form in any
action instituted under this Guaranty.

     

    16. Successors
and Assigns.  All the rights,
benefits and privileges of Guaranteed Parties shall vest in, and be enforceable
by Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, transferees and
assigns.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and
Guarantor's successors and assigns.  Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, any Guaranteed Party may assign, in accordance with the terms
of the Loan Agreement, to one or more banks or other entities all or any part of
the Guaranteed Obligations, whereupon each such bank or other entity shall
become vested with all of the rights in respect thereof granted to such
Guaranteed Party herein or otherwise in respect hereof.

     

    17. Miscellaneous.  This Guaranty
expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and may not be changed orally, and no obligation of Guarantor can
be released or waived by any Guaranteed Party or any officer or agent of any
Guaranteed Party, except by a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of
Agent.  If any part of this Guaranty is determined to be invalid, the
remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall be unaffected and shall remain in
full force and effect.  No delay or omission on any Guaranteed Party's
part to exercise any right or power arising hereunder will impair any such right
or power or be considered a waiver of any such right or power, nor will any
Guaranteed Party's action or inaction impair any such right or power, and all of
Guaranteed Parties' rights and remedies hereunder are cumulative and not
exclusive of any other rights or remedies that Guaranteed Parties may have under
other agreements, at law or in equity. Time is of the essence
of this Guaranty and of each provision hereof.  The section headings
in this Guaranty are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no
way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of this
Guaranty.  This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Guaranty and the
signature page of any counterpart may be removed therefrom and attached to any
other counterpart.

     

    18. Jury
Trial Waiver.  Guarantor and Guaranteed Parties (by
their acceptance hereof) each hereby waives the right to a jury trial in any
action, suit, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or related to this
Guaranty and Guarantor further waives rights arising under applicable statutes
or otherwise to require any Guaranteed Party to institute suit against Borrower
or to exhaust any Guaranteed Party's rights and remedies against Borrower or any
Collateral, Guarantor being bound to the payment of any and all Guaranteed
Obligations to Guaranteed Parties, whether now existing or hereafter accruing as
fully as if such Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to Guaranteed
Parties by Guarantor.
