                                     FORM OF
                               CONTINUING GUARANTY

      The undersigned, _____________________________, an individual (herein
called "Guarantor"), at the solicitation of SYNTAX GROUPS CORPORATION, a
California corporation, and SYNTAX CORPORATION, a Nevada corporation (herein,
individually and collectively, called "Borrower"), requests PREFERRED BANK, a
California banking corporation (herein called "Lender"), to extend Credit to
Borrower. In order to induce Lender to extend Credit to Borrower, and in
consideration of Credit heretofore, now or hereafter granted to Borrower by
Lender, Guarantor agrees as follows:

      1. The term "Credit" is used throughout this Continuing Guaranty
("Guaranty") in its most comprehensive sense and means and includes, without
limitation, any and all loans, advances, debts, obligations and liabilities of
any kind or nature owed by Borrower to Lender, heretofore, now, or hereafter
made, incurred or created, arising from and/or evidenced by the Promissory Note
Variable Rate dated as of December 1, 2006, as amended, between Borrower and
Lender ("Note"), whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, secured or unsecured, whether on
original, renewed, extended or revised terms (including, without limitation,
those evidenced by new or additional instruments or agreements or those changing
the applicable rate of interest or which release any obligor with respect
thereto), whether principal, interest, fees, or expenses, whether Borrower may
be liable individually or jointly with others, whether recovery upon such
indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes barred by any statute of limitations,
and whether such indebtedness may be or hereafter becomes invalid or otherwise
unenforceable. In the event a petition under the United States Bankruptcy Code
is filed by or against Borrower, the term "Borrower" shall also mean and include
Borrower in its status as a debtor, debtor-in-possession and/or reorganized
debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

      2. (a) If there is more than a single entity or person included in the
terms "Guarantor" or "Borrower," respectively, each reference herein to such
terms shall mean any and all, and one or more of such entities and persons both
jointly and severally, and (b) if more than one person or entity executes this
Guaranty, the obligations and liabilities hereunder of Guarantors are and shall
be both joint and several. If Borrower is a corporation, partnership, limited
liability company or association, each reference herein to the term "Borrower"
shall include any successor entity to Borrower. if there is more than one
guaranty of the obligations of Borrower, the liabilities of all Guarantors are
joint and several. As used in this Guaranty, neuter terms include the masculine
and feminine, and vice versa.

      3. Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be limited to Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000.00). In addition to any liability hereunder, Guarantor agrees to
bear and be liable to Lender for the interest and expenses enumerated in
paragraph 21 hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender, at its discretion,
may allow Credit to exceed Guarantor's maximum liability hereunder. Any payment
by Guarantor shall not reduce the maximum obligation of Guarantor hereunder
unless written notice to that effect is actually received by Lender at or prior
to the time of such payment. Any payment received by Lender from Borrower, from
any other person or from proceeds of collateral granted by Borrower or any other
person shall not reduce Guarantor's maximum liability hereunder.

<PAGE>

      4. Subject to any maximum dollar limitation on Guarantor's liability as
may be specified in this Guaranty. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees and
agrees to pay to Lender, on demand, in lawful money of the United States of
America, an amount equal to the amount of the Credit, and to otherwise perform
any obligations of Borrower undertaken pursuant to any Credit. This Guaranty is
a guaranty of payment and not of collection. No payment received by Lender from
Borrower or any other person or from proceeds of collateral granted by Borrower
or any other person shall reduce Guarantor's maximum liability hereunder.

      5. Either before or after revocation hereof, Guarantor authorizes Lender
at its sole discretion, with or without notice, and without affecting
Guarantor's continuing liability hereunder, from time to time to (a) change the
time or manner of payment of any Credit by modification, renewal, extension,
acceleration or otherwise, (b) amend or change any other provision of any Credit
including the rate of interest thereon, (c) accept partial payment on any
Credit, (d) accept new or additional instruments, agreements or documents
relative to any Credit, (e) release, substitute or add one or more endorsers,
cosigners or guarantors for any Credit, (f) enter into forbearances with
Borrower even though the result of such forbearance is to increase the amount of
accrued and unpaid interest, cost, fees and/or expenses attributable to the
Credit, (g) amend or modify the terms of any guaranty executed by a
co-guarantor, including the maximum liability thereunder, (h) obtain collateral
for the payment of any Credit and/or any guaranty thereof, (i) waive, release,
exchange, substitute, or modify, in whole or in part, existing, after-acquired
or later acquired collateral securing payment of the Credit or any guaranty
therefor on such terms as Lender at its sole discretion shall determine, (j)
subordinate payment of all or any part of the Credit to other creditors of
Borrower or other persons on such terms as Lender deems appropriate, (k) apply
any sums received from Borrower, any other guarantor, endorser or cosigner or
from the sale or collection of collateral or its proceeds to any indebtedness
whatsoever in any order and regardless of whether or not such indebtedness
is-guaranteed hereby, is secured by collateral, or is due and payable, (l)
without limiting the foregoing, apply any sums received from Guarantor or from
the sale of collateral granted by Guarantor to any, all, or any portion of the
Credit in any order regardless of whether or not the Credit is secured by
collateral or is due and payable, and (m) exercise any right or remedy it may
have with respect to any Credit or any collateral securing any Credit, this
Guaranty or any other guaranty, including, without limitation, bidding and
purchasing at any sale of any such collateral, and compromising, collecting or
otherwise liquidating any collateral or any Credit.

      6. Guarantor acknowledges that Guarantor may have certain rights under
applicable law which, if not waived by Guarantor, might provide Guarantor with
defenses against Guarantors' liability under this Guaranty. Among those rights,
are certain rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and
contribution, and rights provided in sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the
California Civil Code. Guarantor waives all of Guarantor's rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution, and any other
rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of
any or all of California Civil Code sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, including,
without limitation, Guarantor's rights:

            (a) To require Lender to notify Guarantor of any default by
Borrower, provide Guarantor with notice of any sale or other disposition of
security for any Credit, disclose information with respect to the Credit,
Borrower, or any other guarantor, co-signer or endorser, or with respect to any
collateral:

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (b) That Guarantor's obligation under this Guaranty must be
commensurate with that of Borrower;

            (c) To be discharged based upon the absence of any liability of
Borrower, at any time, by virtue of operation of law. or otherwise, or due to
any other disability or defense of Borrower or any other guarantor, endorser or
co-signer

            (d) To be discharged if any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of the Credit are altered in any respect;

            (e) To be discharged upon acceptance by Lender of anything in
partial satisfaction of the Credit, and/or if Lender designates the portion of
the Credit to be satisfied;

            (f) To be discharged upon any modification of the Credit or the
release by Lender of Borrower or any other guarantor, endorser or co-signer;

            (g) To require Lender to proceed against Borrower, or any other
guarantor, endorser, co-signer, or other person, or to pursue or refrain from
pursuing any other remedy in Lender's power;

            (h) To receive the benefit of or participate in any and all security
for repayment and/or performance of the Credit;

            (i) To have any security for the Credit first applied to satisfy or
discharge the Credit;

            (j) That any arbitration award rendered against Borrower not
constitute an award against Guarantor;

            (k) To be discharged based upon any failure by Lender to perfect or
continue perfection of any lien, use due diligence to collect all or any part of
any Credit, or if recovery against Borrower becomes barred by any statute of
limitations, or if Borrower is not liable for any deficiency after Lender
realizes upon any collateral; and

            (l) To be discharged due to the release or discharge of any
collateral for any Credit or guaranty, or relating to the validity, value or
enforceability of any collateral.

      7. Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses that Guarantor may have
because the Borrower's debt is secured by real property. This means, among other
things: (1) Lender may collect from Guarantor without first foreclosing on any
real or personal property collateral pledged or assigned by Borrower; (2) If
Lender forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower: (A)
The amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price, (B) Lender may collect from Guarantor even if Lender, by
foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right Guarantor
may have to collect from Borrower. This is an unconditional and irrevocable
waiver of any rights and defenses Guarantor may have because Borrower's debt is
secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not

                                       3
<PAGE>

limited to any rights or defenses directly or indirectly based upon Section
580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.

      8. Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses arising out of an
election of remedies by Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a
nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation,
has destroyed Guarantor's rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the
principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or otherwise.

      9. Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance, notices of the existence, creation or increase of any new or
additional credit, notice of sale in regard to judicial or non-judicial
foreclosure of real or personal property collateral and all other notices and
demands of any kind or nature whatsoever except as expressly set forth herein.

      10. Notwithstanding any foreclosure of the lien of any security
agreements, deeds of trust, mortgages or other security instruments, with
respect to the Credit or any other guaranty, whether by the exercise of the
power of sale contained therein, by any action for judicial foreclosure, or by
any acceptance of a deed or other transfer in lieu of foreclosure, whether or
not such method of foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure was for a
consideration equal to or greater than the fair market value of the security
property, Guarantor shall remain bound under this Guaranty for the obligations
of Borrower to Lender and shall be liable to Lender for any and all of the
Credit remaining unpaid after any such foreclosure.

      11. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lender that: (a) Lender has made
no representation to Guarantor in regard to Borrower, the Credit or any matters
pertaining thereto, upon which Guarantor is relying in giving this Guaranty; and
(b) Guarantor has established adequate means and assumes the responsibility for
being and keeping informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all
other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the credit which
diligent inquiry would reveal, and Lender shall have no duty to advise Guarantor
of information known to Lender regarding such condition or any such
circumstance.

      12. In addition to all liens upon and rights of setoff against the money,
securities or other property of Guarantor given to Lender by law or otherwise as
security for this Guaranty, Guarantor hereby pledges to Lender and grants to
Lender a security interest in, and Lender shall have a right of setoff against,
all money, securities and other property of Guarantor now or hereafter in the
possession of or on deposit with Lender, whether held in a general or special
account or deposit or for safekeeping or otherwise; and each such security
interest or right of setoff may be exercised without demand upon, or notice to,
Guarantor. No action or lack of action by Lender with respect to any security
interest or right of setoff or otherwise shall be deemed a waiver thereof, and
every right of setoff or security interest or otherwise shall continue in full
force and effect until specifically released by Lender in writing. The security
interests created hereby shall secure all of Guarantor's obligations to Lender
under this Guaranty or any subsequent guaranty executed by Guarantor.

      13. Any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to
Guarantor and all claims of Guarantor against Borrower, whenever arising, are
hereby subordinated to the Credit

                                       4
<PAGE>

and assigned to Lender as additional collateral. If Lender so requests, any note
or other instrument evidencing such indebtedness and all claims of Guarantor
against Borrower shall be delivered to Lender, and such indebtedness and all
claims of Guarantor against Borrower shall be collected, enforced and received
by Guarantor as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the
Credit but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of
Guarantor hereunder. Should Guarantor fail to collect proceeds of debt owed to
it by Borrower and pay the proceeds to Lender, Lender, as Guarantor's
attorney-in-fact may do such acts and sign such documents in Guarantor's name as
Lender considers necessary, at its discretion, to effect such collection, and
Guarantor hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as Guarantor's attorney-in-fact for
such purposes. If Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company or
partnership, Guarantor will not withdraw or accept, without Lender's prior
written consent, any return of any capital invested or equity interest in
Borrower.

      14. Guarantor agrees that to the extent Borrower makes a payment or
payments or is credited for any payment or payments made for the account of or
on behalf of Borrower to Lender, which payment or payments, or any part thereof,
are subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or preferential,
voided, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any trustee, receiver,
assignee or any other party whether under any Bankruptcy, State or Federal Law,
common law or equitable cause or otherwise, then to the extent thereof, the
obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby, together with the
guaranty thereof hereunder, shall be revived, reinstated and continued in full
force and effect as if said payment or payments had not originally been made by
or for the account of or on behalf of Borrower.

      15. Guarantor agrees that to the extent Guarantor makes a payment or
payments or is credited for any payment or payments made for the account of or
on behalf of Guarantor to Lender, which payment or payments, or any part
thereof, are subsequently invalidated, determined to be fraudulent or
preferential, voided, set aside and/or required to be repaid to any trustee,
receiver, assignee or any other party whether under any Bankruptcy, State or
Federal Law, common law or equitable cause or otherwise, then to the extent
thereof, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied thereby, shall
be revived, reinstated and continued in full force and effect as if said payment
or payments had not originally been made by or for the account of or on behalf
of Guarantor.

      16. Guarantor's obligations hereunder are not contingent upon and are
independent of the obligations of Borrower, or any other guarantor or surety of
the Credit. This Guaranty is not made in consideration of the liability of any
other guarantor or surety of the Credit. The release or death of any guarantor
of the Credit or the revocation of any guaranty shall not release or otherwise
affect the liability of any other non-revoking guarantor. A separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether action is
brought against Borrower or any other guarantor or whether Borrower or any other
guarantor be joined in any such action or actions.

      17. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Guarantor specifically waives
the benefit of the statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or
the enforcement hereof, or the collection of any Credit, including, without
limiting the foregoing, any and all special statutes of limitations arising out
of California Code of Civil Procedure sections 580a or 726(b). Any

                                       5
<PAGE>

partial payment by Borrower which operates to toll any statute of limitations as
to Borrower shall likewise toll the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

      18. Any married person who signs this Guaranty expressly agrees that
recourse may be had against his/her separate property as well as all community
property over which that person has a power of management and control, for all
of his/her obligations hereunder.

      19. Should any one or more provisions of this Guaranty be determined to be
illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain effective.

      20. Lender may, with or without notice, assign this Guaranty in whole or
in part. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors and
assigns, and shall bind Guarantor and Guarantor's heirs, executors,
administrators, representatives, successors and assigns.

      21. Guarantor agrees to pay to Lender, on demand, reasonable attorneys'
fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by Lender in the
collection or attempted collection from Borrower of any Credit and/or in the
interpretation, enforcement or attempted enforcement by Lender of this Guaranty
or any collateral therefor, including, but not limited to, proceedings in any
bankruptcy or other insolvency case or other proceedings touching the Credit or
this Guaranty, or both, in any manner, whether or not legal proceedings or suit
are instituted, together with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the
Credit and including, without limitation, all attorneys' fees and related costs
of enforcement of any and all judgments and awards and upon any appeal relating
thereto.

      22. Guarantor warrants and represents to Lender that:

            (a) All financial statements and other financial information
furnished or to be furnished to Lender by Guarantor are or will be true and
correct and do and will fairly represent the financial condition of Guarantor
(including all contingent liabilities) as of the dates thereof; and

            (b) There has been no material adverse change in Guarantor's
financial condition since the dates of the financial statements and other
information furnished to Lender, except as previously disclosed to Lender in
writing.

      23. Lender may declare Guarantor in default under this Guaranty upon the
occurrence of any of the following events:

            (a) Guarantor fails to pay or perform any of Guarantor's obligations
under this Guaranty; or

            (b) Any representation or warranty made or given by Guarantor to
Lender proves to be false or misleading in any material respect; or

            (c) A petition or action for relief shall be filed by or against
Guarantor, pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, U.S. Codes) in
effect from time to time, or under any other law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, creditor

                                       6
<PAGE>

composition, arrangement or other relief from debts; the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian. or liquidator of or for any property of Guarantor;
or upon the death, incapacity, insolvency, dissolution, or termination of the
business of Guarantor; or

            (d) Guarantor revokes or attempts to revoke this Guaranty.

      24. If Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company or
partnership, Lender need not inquire into the power of Borrower or the authority
of its officers, directors, partners, agents, members or managers acting or
purporting to act in its behalf, and any Credit granted in reliance upon the
purported exercise of such power or authority is guaranteed hereunder.

      25. Receipt of a true copy of this Guaranty is hereby acknowledged by each
Guarantor. Guarantor understands and agrees that Lender's acceptance of this
Guaranty shall not constitute a commitment of any nature whatsoever by Lender to
extend, renew or hereafter extend credit to Borrower. Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty shall be effective with or without notice from Lender of its acceptance
of this Guaranty.

      26. If Guarantor has executed more than one Guaranty of any or all
indebtedness of Borrower owed to Lender, any limits of liability thereunder and
hereunder shall be cumulative, and a subsequent guaranty executed by Guarantor
shall not supersede or replace this Guaranty unless such subsequent guaranty so
provides.

      27. GUARANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY LENDER OR GUARANTOR WHICH PERTAINS DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT, THE COLLATERAL THEREFOR OR ANY MATTER
ARISING THEREFROM OR RELATING HERETO OR THERETO.

      28. Guarantor waives all rights to interpose any setoffs or counterclaims
of any nature in any action or proceeding instituted by Lender with respect to
this Guaranty, the collateral therefor, or any matter arising therefrom or
relating thereto and the posting of any bond which may otherwise be required,
and waives any and all benefits of cross-demands pursuant to section 431.70 of
the California Code of Civil Procedure.

      29. Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits and consents to the jurisdiction
of any federal or state court of competent jurisdiction within California in
connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Guaranty. In any such litigation, Guarantor consents to service of process by
any means authorized by California or federal law or as otherwise agreed in
writing between Lender and Guarantor.

      30. All rights, remedies, powers and benefits granted to Lender under this
Guaranty, the Credit, any oral or other written agreement or applicable law
whether expressly granted or implied in law or otherwise, are cumulative and not
exclusive, and are enforceable alternatively, successively, or concurrently on
any one or more occasions at Lender's discretion.

      31. Lender shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed
to have expressly or impliedly waived any security interest granted to Lender
hereunder or Lender's rights, powers and/or remedies hereunder (including any
right of setoff) unless such waiver shall

                                       7
<PAGE>

be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Lender. Any such waiver
shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver
by Lender of any default, right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such default, right, power and/or
remedy which Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion whether similar
in kind or otherwise. Any failure by Lender to file or enforce a claim against
the estate (whether in administration, bankruptcy, probate or other proceeding)
of Borrower or of any others, shall not affect Guarantor's liability hereunder.

      32. Neither this Guaranty nor any related agreement, document or
instrument nor any provision hereof or thereof shall be amended, modified or
discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement
signed by an authorized officer of Lender expressly referring to this Guaranty
and to the provisions so amended, modified or discharged.

      33. Lender's books and records showing the account(s) between Lender and
Borrower shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding as prima
facie proof of the items set forth therein. Lender's statements rendered to
Borrower, to the extent to which no objection is made within thirty (30) days
after date thereof, shall be deemed conclusively correct and constitute an
account stated absent manifest error, which shall be binding on Guarantor
whether or not Guarantor receives a copy of any such statement or notice
thereof.

      34. This is a continuing guaranty of the Credit, including those arising
after any repayment and reborrowing and under any successive and future
transactions which may increase, renew or continue the original Credit.
Revocation of this Guaranty, if permitted by applicable law, shall be effective
only upon the close of the next business day after written notice thereof is
received by an officer of Lender by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested at 601 South Figueroa Street, 20th Floor, Los Angeles, California
90017, or at any other office of Lender designated in a written notice mailed by
Lender to Guarantor at its address set forth below. Any such revocation shall be
effective only as to the revoking party and shall not affect that party's
obligations with respect to Credit existing before the revocation became
effective or as to any renewals, extensions or modifications of any Credit,
whether such renewal, extension or modification is made prior to or after
revocation, including those evidenced by a new or additional instrument or
agreement or which change the rate of interest on any Credit, or for
post-revocation interest and collection expenses accruing or incurred by Lender
with respect thereto. Notwithstanding any revocation hereof, this Guaranty shall
not be terminated until Lender has received indefeasible payment in full of all
Credit which is guaranteed hereby and, in regard to which Credit, Lender no
longer has an outstanding commitment to lend. Credit existing before revocation
becomes effective shall be deemed to include, without limitation, all Credit or
advances which Lender has committed to make to Borrower in reliance upon this
Guaranty, even though the amount of such Credit or advances has not been
advanced as of the effective date of revocation, and even though Lender may have
defenses or defaults which would relieve it of such commitment, if asserted.

      35. The provisions of this Guaranty shall be construed and interpreted and
all rights and obligations hereunder determined in accordance with the laws of
the State of California.

      36. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT LENDER HAS OR MAY [N THE FUTURE EXTEND
CREDIT TO BORROWER IN RELIANCE ON GUARANTOR'S

                                       8
<PAGE>

UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE TO REPAY ANY AND ALL CREDIT AND LENDER IS RELYING ON THE
WAIVERS, WARRANTIES AND PROMISES MADE BY GUARANTOR IN THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR
AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS, WARRANTIES AND PROMISES SET FORTH IN THIS
GUARANTY ARE MADE WITH GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING OF THEIR SIGNIFICANCE AND
CONSEQUENCES AND THAT THEY ARE REASONABLE. IF ANY WAIVERS, WARRANTIES AND
PROMISES ARE DETERMINED TO BE CONTRARY TO ANY APPLICABLE LAW OR PUBLIC POLICY,
SUCH WAIVERS, WARRANTIES AND PROMISES SHALL BE EFFECTIVE TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT
PERMITTED BY LAW. BEFORE SIGNING THE GUARANTY, GUARANTOR HAS EITHER SOUGHT THE
ADVICE OF COUNSEL TO EXPLAIN THE WAIVERS OF ITS RIGHTS AND DEFENSES AS STATED
HEREIN AND THE EFFECT THEREOF, OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK SUCH COUNSEL,
AND IN ANY EVENT, INTENDS THIS GUARANTY TO BE AS UNRESTRICTED AS POSSIBLE.
GUARANTOR THEREFORE HAS CONSCIOUSLY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVED ALL DEFENSES OF
GUARANTOR AND RIGHTS WHICH COULD EXONERATE GUARANTOR HEREUNDER TO THE FULL
EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WHETHER OR NOT EACH AND
EVERY DEFENSE, RIGHT OR WAIVER IS EXPLAINED OR DESCRIBED [N DETAIL IN THIS
GUARANTY.

      37. GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER LENDER NOR ANY OF LENDER'S
OFFICERS OR EMPLOYEES HAVE MADE ANY PROMISE OR REPRESENTATION, NOT INCORPORATED
HEREIN, WHETHER ORAL, WRITTEN OR IMPLIED, TO CAUSE GUARANTOR TO SIGN THIS
GUARANTY. GUARANTOR IS NOT SIGNING THIS GUARANTY IN RELIANCE ON ANY PROMISE,
CONDITION OR THE ANTICIPATION OF THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY EVENT, AND THERE ARE NO
ORAL UNDERSTANDINGS, STATEMENTS OR AGREEMENTS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED IN
THIS GUARANTY. GUARANTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT LENDER HAS THE RIGHT TO ENFORCE
PAYMENT OF THE CREDIT AGAINST BORROWER OR GUARANTOR IN ANY ORDER AND LENDER IS
NOT OBLIGATED TO OBTAIN ANY OTHER OR ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS OF THE CREDIT OR TO
TAKE ANY OTHER COURSE OF ACTION

      38. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between the parties
with respect to the subject matter of this Guaranty, and any and all previous or
contemporaneous correspondence, statements, or agreements by or between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Guaranty (but not
previous or other guarantees given to Lender by Guarantor) are superseded
hereby. This Guaranty may be modified only by a written instrument signed by the
parties hereto.

      39. Upon request by Lender, Guarantor agrees promptly (and in any event
within 30 days of such request), to provide Lender with such financial
statements of Guarantor and other information regarding Guarantor's financial
condition (including, without limitation copies of filed tax returns, including
all schedules thereto) as Lender may from time to time request.

                                       9

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has executed this Continuing Guaranty as
of the 1st day of December 2006.

                   THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PROMISSORY NOTE
                                  VARIABLE RATE

$55,000,000.00                                                 DECEMBER 13, 2006

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, SYNTAX-BRILLIAN CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, SYNTAX
GROUPS CORPORATION, a California corporation and SYNTAX CORPORATION, a Nevada
corporation (individually and collectively, "Borrower"), jointly and severally
promise to pay to PREFERRED BANK, a California banking corporation ("Lender"),
or its order, at its office located at 601 South Figueroa Street, 20th Floor,
Los Angeles, California 90017, or at such other place as the holder hereof may
designate, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of
Fifty Five Million and 00/100 Dollars ($55,000,000.00), or so much thereof as
shall have been advanced and is outstanding, together with interest on the
outstanding principal balance, until paid in full in accordance with the terms,
conditions and provisions as hereinafter set forth in this Amended and Restated
Promissory Note Variable Rate (this "Note"). This Note supersedes and fully
amends and restates (i) that certain Promissory Note Variable Rate executed by
the Borrower on or about September 28, 2005, (ii) that certain Amended and
Restated Promissory Note Variable Rate executed by the Borrower and dated as of
January 31, 2006, and (iii) that certain Second Amended and Restated Promissory
Note Variable Rate executed by the Borrower and dated as of October 17, 2006.

LOAN AGREEMENT. This Note (i) is a "Note" as defined in that certain Amended and
Restated Business Loan and Security Agreement dated as of December 13, 2006, as
amended (the "Loan Agreement") entered into by and between Borrower and Lender,
as it may be amended from time to time, (ii) represents and evidences all
Advances made under the Loan Agreement, and (iii) is subject to all of the terms
and conditions thereof. All terms not defined herein shall have the same meaning
as in the Loan Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this
Note and the Loan Agreement, the terms of this Note shall prevail.

INTEREST RATE. Interest on the outstanding principal balance of this Note shall
be computed and calculated based upon a three hundred sixty (360)-day year and
actual days elapsed and shall accrue at the per annum rate (the "Note Rate") of
one-half of one percent (0.5%) over the Prime Rate, as the rate may change from
time to time. "Prime Rate" shall mean the variable rate of interest per annum
announced, declared and/or published from time to time by Lender as its "Prime
Rate" with the understanding that Lender's "Prime Rate" is one of its base rates
and serves as a basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for
loans making reference thereto and may not be the lowest of Lender's base rates.
If the Prime Rate becomes unavailable during the term of this Note, Lender may
designate a comparable substitute index after notice to Borrower.

PAYMENTS. Interest shall be due and payable monthly, in arrears, based upon the
actual number of days elapsed for that monthly period, commencing on January 5,
2007,

                                       1

<PAGE>

and shall continue to be due and payable, in arrears, on the same day of each
calendar month thereafter until the Maturity Date (as hereinafter defined).

On the Facility Reduction Date, such principal amount, if any, required to be
prepaid pursuant to Section 2.1(h) of the Loan Agreement shall be due and
payable.

Upon the Maturity Date, the entire unpaid obligation outstanding under this
Note, the Loan Agreement, and any other Loan Documents shall become due and
payable in full.

All payments due hereunder, including payments of principal and interest, shall
be made to Lender in United States Dollars and shall be in the form of
immediately available funds acceptable to the holder of this Note.

APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. All payments received by Lender from, or for the
account of, Borrower due hereunder shall be applied by Lender, in its sole and
absolute discretion, in the following manner, or in any other order or manner as
Lender chooses:

          a.   First. To pay any and all interest due, owing and accrued;

          b.   Second. To pay any and all costs, advances, expenses or fees due,
               owing and payable to Lender, or paid or incurred by Lender,
               arising from or out of this Note, the Loan Agreement, and the
               other Loan Documents; and

          c.   Third. To pay the outstanding principal balance on this Note.

All records of payments received by Lender shall be maintained at Lender's
office, and the records of Lender shall, absent manifest error, be binding and
conclusive upon Borrower. The failure of Lender to record any payment or expense
shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of Borrower under this Note.

MATURITY DATE. On December 5, 2007 ("Maturity Date"), the entire unpaid
principal balance, and all unpaid accrued interest thereon, shall be due and
payable without demand or notice. In the event that Borrower does not pay this
Note in full on the Maturity Date then, as of the Maturity Date and thereafter
until paid in full, the interest accruing on the outstanding principal balance
hereunder shall be computed, calculated and accrued on a daily basis at the
Default Rate (as hereinafter defined).

UNPAID EXPENSES. Expenses that are not received by Lender within ten (10)
calendar days from the date such expenses become due, shall, at the sole
discretion of Lender, be added to the principal balance and shall from the date
due bear interest at the Default Rate.

HOLIDAY. Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall be due on a day
other than a Business Day, including Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays
generally recognized by banks doing business in California, then the due date
for such payment shall be automatically extended to the next succeeding Business
Day, and such extension

                                       2

<PAGE>

of time shall in such cases be included in the computation of the interest
portion of any payment due hereunder.

NO OFFSETS OR DEDUCTIONS. All payments under this Note shall be made by Borrower
without any offset, decrease, reduction or deduction of any kind or nature
whatsoever, including, but not limited to, any decrease, reduction or deduction
for, or on account of, any offset, present or future taxes, present or future
reserves, imposts or duties of any kind or nature, that are imposed or levied by
or on behalf of any government or taxing agency, body or authority by or for any
municipality, state or country. If at any time, present or future, Lender shall
be compelled, by any Law, rule, regulation or any other such requirement which
on its face or by its application requires or establishes reserves, or payment,
deduction or withholding of taxes, imposts or duties, to act such that it causes
or results in a decrease, reduction or deduction (as described above) in payment
received by Lender, then Borrower shall pay to Lender such additional amounts,
as Lender shall deem necessary and appropriate, such that every payment received
under this Note, after such decrease, reserve, reduction, deduction, payment or
required withholding, shall not be reduced in any manner whatsoever.

DEFAULT. Any one or more of the following events or occurrences shall constitute
a default under this Note (hereinafter "Default"):

          (i)  Lender does not receive a payment in the amount and within the
               applicable cure period, if any, when due, as set forth herein or
               in the Loan Agreement; or

          (ii) There shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement; or

          (iii) There shall be a default under any of the other Loan Documents.

          Upon the occurrence of a Default hereunder, Lender may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, declare the entire unpaid principal balance, together
with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and all other amounts and payments
due hereunder, immediately due and payable, without notice or demand.

DEFAULT RATE. From and after the occurrence of any Default in this Note whether
by non-payment, maturity, acceleration, non-performance or otherwise, and until
such Default has been cured, all outstanding amounts under this Note shall bear
interest at a per annum rate ("Default Rate") equal to five percent (5%) over
the Note Rate.

PREPAYMENT. The principal amount of this Note may be prepaid in whole or in
part; provided, however, that written notice of prepayment is received by Lender
concurrently therewith. Any such prepayment shall not result in a
reamortization, deferral, postponement, suspension, or waiver of any and all
principal or other payments due under this Note.

LATE CHARGES. Time is of the essence for all payments and other obligations due
under this Note. Borrower acknowledges that if any payment required under this
Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days after the same becomes due
and payable,

                                       3

Lender will incur extra administrative expenses (i.e., in addition to expenses
incident to receipt of timely payment) and the loss of the use of funds in
connection with the delinquency in payment. Because, from the nature of the
case, the actual damages suffered by Lender by reason of such administrative
expenses and loss of the use of funds would be impracticable or extremely
difficult to ascertain, Borrower agrees that five percent (5%) of the amount of
the delinquent payment, together with interest accruing on the entire principal
balance of this Note at the Default Rate, as provided above, shall be the amount
of damages which Lender is entitled to receive upon such breach, in compensation
therefor. Therefore, Borrower shall, in such event, without further demand or
notice, pay to Lender, as Lender's monetary recovery for such extra
administrative expenses and loss of use of funds, liquidated damages in the
amount of five percent (5%) of the amount of the delinquent payment (in addition
to interest at the Default Rate). The provisions of this paragraph are intended
to govern only the determination of damages in the event of a breach in the
performance of Borrower to make timely payments hereunder. Nothing in this Note
shall be construed as in any way giving Borrower the right, express or implied,
to fail to make timely payments hereunder, whether upon payment of such damages
or otherwise. The right of Lender to receive payment of such liquidated and
actual damages, and receipt thereof, are without prejudice to the right of
Lender to collect such delinquent payments and any other amounts provided to be
paid hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents, or to declare a default
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents.

COSTS AND EXPENSES. Borrower hereby agrees to pay any and all costs or expenses
paid or incurred by Lender by reason of, as a result of, or in connection with
the enforcement of this Note, or any other Loan Documents, including, but not
limited to, any and all reasonable attorney's fees and related costs when such
costs or expenses are paid or incurred in connection with the enforcement of
this Note and the other Loan Documents, or any of them, the protection or
preservation of the collateral or security for this Note, or any other rights,
remedies or interests of Lender, whether or not suit is filed. Borrower's
agreement to pay any and all such costs and expenses includes, but is not
limited to, costs and expenses incurred in or in connection with any bankruptcy
proceeding, in enforcing any judgment obtained by Lender and in connection with
any and all appeals therefrom, and in connection with the monitoring of any
bankruptcy proceeding and its effect on Lender's rights and claims for recovery
of the amounts due hereunder, any proceeding concerning relief from the
automatic stay, use of cash collateral, proofs of claim, approval of a
disclosure statement or confirmation of, or objections to confirmation of, any
plan of reorganization. All such costs and expenses are due and payable to
Lender by Borrower within ten (10) Business Days following demand.

WAIVERS. Borrower hereby waives grace, diligence, presentment, demand, notice of
demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of protest, any and all
exemption rights against the indebtedness evidenced by this Note and the right
to plead any statute of limitations as a defense to the repayment of all or any
portion of this Note, and interest thereon, to the fullest extent allowed by
law, and all compensation of cross-demands pursuant to California Code of Civil
Procedure Section 431.70. No delay, omission or

                                       4

<PAGE>

failure on the part of Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall
operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy of
Lender.

MAXIMUM LEGAL RATE. This Note is subject to the express condition that at no
time shall Borrower be obligated, or required, to pay interest on the principal
balance at a rate which could subject Lender to either civil or criminal
liability as a result of such rate being in excess of the maximum rate which
Lender is permitted to charge. If, by the terms of this Note, Borrower is, at
any time, required or obligated to pay interest on the principal balance at a
rate in excess of such maximum rate, then the rate of interest under this Note
shall be deemed to be immediately reduced to such maximum rate and interest
payable hereunder shall be computed at such maximum rate and any portion of all
prior interest payments in excess of such maximum rate shall be applied, or
shall retroactively be deemed to have been payments made, in reduction of the
principal balance, as the case may be.

AMENDMENT; GOVERNING LAW. This Note may be amended, changed, modified,
terminated or canceled only by a written agreement signed by the party against
whom enforcement is sought for any such action. This Note shall be governed by,
and construed under, the Laws of the State of California.

AUTHORITY. Borrower, and each person executing this Note on Borrower's behalf,
hereby represents and warrants to Lender that, by its execution below, Borrower
has the full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Note
and that the indebtedness evidenced hereby constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of Borrower without exception or limitation. In the event that this
Note is executed by more than one person or entity, the liability hereunder
shall be joint and several. Any married person who is obligated on this Note,
directly or indirectly, agrees that recourse may be had to such person's
separate property in addition to any and all community property of such person.

                           [Signature page to follow.]
