AGREEMENT, made the 15th day of March, 2012, by and among HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, having an address at 534 Broad Hollow Road, Melville, New York 11747 (being hereinafter called “Mortgagee”), SJA INDUSTRIES, LLC, a New York limited liability company, having an address at 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York 11722 (being hereinafter called the “Original Borrower”), FAE HOLDINGS 411519R, LLC, a New York limited liability company, having an address at c/o First American Exchange Company, LLC, 560 South 300 East, Salt Lake City, Utah  84111 (being hereinafter called “New Borrower”), and THE TOWN OF ISLIP INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a corporate governmental agency, having an address at 40 Nassau Avenue, Islip, New York 11751 (being hereinafter called the “IDA”).

RECITALS

A.           The IDA acquired record title to the property known as 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York, as more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the “Real Property”) to provide certain benefits to the Original Borrower.  The Original Borrower and the IDA entered into a certain Installment Sale Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2000, a memorandum of which was recorded on January 18, 2001, in the Clerk’s Office in Liber 12097, at Page 529 (as the same may  have been amended, the “Sale Agreement”).  The Original Borrower occupies the Real Property pursuant to a certain lease agreement dated as of December 1, 2000 (the “Master Lease”), between the IDA and the Original Borrower.

B.           Original Borrower and CVD Equipment Corporation (“CVD”) are parties to a certain Contract of Sale dated September 2, 2011, pursuant to which CVD agreed to purchase Original Borrower’s right, title and interest in the Master Lease.

C.           New Borrower and CVD have entered into a certain Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement dated as of February 9, 2012 (the “Accommodation Agreement”), pursuant to which New Borrower agreed to acquire the leasehold interest under the Master Lease and sublease the same to CVD,  in order to facilitate CVD’s intended property exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 and Revenue Procedure 2000-37.  It is a condition of the Accommodation Agreement that New Borrower, on behalf of CVD, obtain funds sufficient to acquire Original Borrower’s interest under the Master Lease;

D.           CVD has applied to Mortgagee for a loan (the “Loan”) to New Borrower in the principal sum of SIX MILLION and 00/100 DOLLARS ($6,000,000.00), which loan is being funded on the date hereof.

E.           The Original Borrower is the maker under a certain mortgage note dated June 16, 2006, in the original principal amount of $9,150,000.00, executed by the Original Borrower in favor of SL Investment PAR Holdings 2008-1, LLC (the “Note”) which Note is secured by the mortgage described on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Mortgage”), encumbering the Real Property.

 

  

  

  

F.           In connection with the Loan being made by Mortgagee to New Borrower, the Note and Mortgage are this date being assigned to Mortgagee pursuant to a certain Assignment of Mortgage dated the date hereof from SL Investment PAR Holdings 2008-1, LLC to the Mortgagee, to be recorded in the Clerk’s Office.

G.           In consideration for the assignment of the Master Lease by Original Borrower to New Borrower, New Borrower is willing to assume all of the obligations of Original Borrower under the Note and the Mortgage.

Accordingly, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

1.           New Borrower hereby covenants, promises and agrees (a) to pay the indebtedness evidenced by the Note, on which there remains unpaid as of the date hereof the principal amount of $6,000,000.00, on the terms, in the manner and in all respects as therein provided, without offset, deduction, or counterclaim, (b) to perform each and all of the covenants, agreements and obligations in the Note and the Mortgage to be performed by Original Borrower, at the time, in the manner and in all respects as therein provided, and (c) to be bound by each and all of the terms and provisions of the Note and the Mortgage as though the Note and the Mortgage had originally been made, executed and delivered by New Borrower.

2.           All of the Real Property described in the Mortgage shall remain in all respects subject to the lien and encumbrance of the Mortgage, and nothing herein contained shall affect or be construed to affect the lien or encumbrance of said Mortgage, or the priority thereof over other liens or encumbrances, or, except as expressly provided herein, to release or affect the liability of any party or parties who may now or hereafter be liable under or on account of the Note or the Mortgage; nor shall anything herein contained affect or be construed to affect any other security, if any, held by Mortgagee as security for the Note.

3.           The IDA is executing this Agreement solely to consent to the terms hereof and incurs no obligations hereunder.

4.           This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.

5.           This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

6.           New Borrower’s obligations under this Agreement, the Note and the Mortgage are absolute and unconditional and are valid irrespective of any other agreement or circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations under this Agreement, the Note or the Mortgage or to the obligations of others related to it.  New Borrower acknowledges that no oral or other agreements, conditions, promises, understandings, representations or warranties exist in regard to the obligations under this Agreement, the Note, or the Mortgage, except those specifically set forth herein and therein.

 

  

  

  

7.           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified, amended, changed or terminated orally, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the modification, amendment, change or termination is sought.

8.           This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

9.           Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall be deemed to create any rights or obligations of partnership, joint venture, or similar association among the parties hereto.

10.           If any term, covenant, provision or condition of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, this Agreement shall be construed without such term, covenant, provision or condition.

11.           New Borrower, Original Borrower and the Mortgagee hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive any and all rights to trial by jury in any action, suit or counterclaim arising in connection with, out of or otherwise related to this Agreement..

12.           The general credit of New Borrower is not obligated or available for the payment of the indebtedness evidenced by the Note (the “Debt”).  Mortgagee will not look to New Borrower or any principal, member, director, officer or employee of New Borrower with respect to the Debt or any covenant, stipulation, promise, agreement or obligation contained herein or in the Note.  In enforcing its rights and remedies under this Agreement or the Note, Mortgagee will look solely to the Real Property and/or to the Guarantors (as defined in the Mortgage) for the payment of the Debt and for the performance of the provisions hereof or thereof.  Mortgagee will not seek a deficiency or other money judgment against New Borrower or any principal, member, director, officer or employee of New Borrower, and will not institute any separate action against New Borrower by reason of any default that may occur in the performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Note.  This agreement on the part of Mortgagee shall not be construed in any way so as to affect or impair the lien of the Mortgage or Mortgagee’s right to foreclose under the terms of the Mortgage as provided by law or construed in any way so as to limit or restrict any of the rights or remedies of the Mortgagee in any foreclosure proceedings or other enforcement of payment of the Debt out of and from the security given therefor, including, without limitation, any Guaranty (as defined in the Mortgage).  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH 12 SHALL BE APPLICABLE ONLY UNTIL, AND SHALL BE DEEMED DELETED FROM THIS AGREEMENT AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT FROM AND AFTER, THE DATE THAT CVD ACQUIRES ALL OF THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS IN NEW BORROWER OR ASSUMES THE OBLIGATIONS OF NEW BORROWER UNDER THE MASTER LEASE, THE NOTE OR THE MORTGAGE PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE ACCOMMODATION AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE.

 

  

  

  

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been executed by the parties hereto as of the day and year above first written.

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT

 March 15, 2012

Melville, New York

WHEREAS, CVD EQUIPMENT CORPORATION (“CVD”) contemplates effecting, pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a tax-deferred exchange (the “Exchange”) of certain premises known by the street address 355 South Technology Drive, Central Islip, New York (the “Premises”), as more particularly described in the Mortgage (as defined on Exhibit A annexed hereto);

WHEREAS, it is a condition of the Exchange that FAE Holdings 411519R, LLC, a New York limited liability company having an office at c/o First American Exchange Company, LLC, 560 South 300 East, Salt Lake City, Utah  84111 (the “Borrower”), on behalf of CVD, obtain funds sufficient to acquire a leasehold interest in the Premises;

WHEREAS, CVD has applied to HSBC BANK USA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national banking association (being hereinafter called “Lender”), with offices at 534 Broad Hollow Road, Melville, New York 11747, for a loan (the “Loan”) to the Borrower in the principal sum of $6,000,000.00 to be evidenced by the Note (as defined on Exhibit A) and secured by the Mortgage;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and CVD have entered into a certain Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement, dated as of February 9, 2012 (the “Accommodation Agreement”) pursuant to which the Borrower has agreed to enter into a certain Lease Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2012 (the “Lease Agreement”) whereby the Town of Islip Industrial Development Agency (the “IDA”) will lease the Premises to the Borrower;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Accommodation Agreement, CVD shall acquire a subleasehold estate in the Premises and, prior to the expiration of the Parking Period (as defined in the Accommodation Agreement), either (a) acquire all of the membership interests in the Borrower from First American Exchange Company, LLC or (b) assume the Borrower’s leasehold interest in the Premises, and thereupon assume Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under the Note, the Mortgage and all related documents executed by the Borrower in connection with the Loan;

WHEREAS, Lender is willing to make the Loan to the Borrower only if the undersigned executes and delivers this Guaranty and guarantees payment to Lender of the Debt (as herein defined) in the manner hereinafter provided; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned wishes to grant Lender security and assurance in order to secure the payment and performance by the Borrower of all of its present and future obligations under the Note and Mortgage, and, to that effect, to guaranty the Loan as set forth herein.

 

  

  

  

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce the Lender to make the Loan to the Borrower, the undersigned hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that all of the above recitals are true, correct and complete and hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as follows:

1.           The undersigned guarantees, absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally, to the Lender the payment of the Debt.  The term “Debt” as used in this Guaranty shall mean all liabilities of the Borrower to the Lender of whatever nature, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether created directly or acquired by the Lender, by assignment or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured and whether absolute or contingent, including, without limitation, all principal, interest, additional interest (including specifically all interest accruing from and after the commencement of any case, proceeding or action under any existing or future laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters with respect to the Borrower) and other sums of any nature whatsoever which may or shall become due and payable pursuant to the provisions of the Note, the Mortgage or any other document or instrument now or hereafter executed and/or delivered in connection therewith or otherwise with respect to the Loan (said Note, Mortgage and other documents and instruments, collectively, the “Loan Documents”) (all of the above unaffected by modification thereof in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), and even though the Lender may not have an allowed claim for the same against the Borrower as a result of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding.

2.           The undersigned agrees that the undersigned shall indemnify and hold the Lender harmless and defend the Lender at the undersigned’s sole cost and expense against any loss or liability, cost or expense (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of the Lender’s counsel, whether in-house staff, retained firms or otherwise), and all claims, actions, procedures and suits arising out of or in connection with:

(a)           any ongoing matters arising out of the transaction contemplated hereby, this Guaranty, the Debt, the Mortgage, the Note or any other Loan Document, including, but not limited to, all costs of appraisals and reappraisals of the property encumbered by the Mortgage or any part thereof;

(b)           any amendment to, or restructuring of, this Guaranty, the Debt and the Mortgage, the Note or any of the other Loan Documents; and

(c)           any and all lawful action that may be taken by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of the provisions of this Guaranty, the Note, the Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, whether or not suit is filed in connection with the same, or in connection with the undersigned, the Borrower and/or any partner, joint venturer or shareholder thereof becoming a party to a voluntary or involuntary federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding.

All sums expended by the Lender shall be payable on demand and, until reimbursed by the Borrower or by the undersigned pursuant hereto, shall bear interest at the default interest rate as set forth in the Note.

3.           The undersigned hereby represents and warrants that all financial statements of the undersigned heretofore delivered to the Lender by or on behalf of the undersigned are true and correct in all material respects and fairly present the financial condition of the undersigned as of the respective dates thereof, and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof.  The undersigned agrees to comply with all financial reporting terms of the Mortgage as they apply to the undersigned.

 

  

  

  

4.           In addition to any right available to the Lender under applicable law or any other agreement, the undersigned hereby gives to the Lender a continuing lien on, security interest in and right of set-off against all moneys, securities and other property of the undersigned and the proceeds thereof, now on deposit or now or hereafter delivered, remaining with or in transit in any manner to the Lender, its correspondents, participants or its agents from or for the undersigned, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise or coming into possession of the Lender in any way, and also, any balance of any deposit account and credits of the undersigned with, and any and all claims of the undersigned against, the Lender at any time existing, as collateral security for the payment of the Debt and all of the other obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty, including fees, contracted with or acquired by the Lender, whether joint, several, absolute, contingent, secured, matured or unmatured (for the purposes of this paragraph 4 and paragraphs 6, 8 and 16 below, collectively, the “Liabilities”), hereby authorizing the Lender at any time or times, without prior notice, to apply such balances, credits or claims, or any part thereof, to such Liabilities in such amounts as it may select, whether contingent, unmatured or otherwise and whether any collateral security therefore is deemed adequate or not.  The collateral security described herein shall be in addition to any collateral security described in any separate agreement executed by any of the undersigned.  The Lender, in addition to any right available to it under applicable law or any other agreement, shall have the right, at its option, to immediately set off against any Liabilities all monies owed by the Lender in any capacity to any of the undersigned, whether or not due, and the Lender shall, at its option, be deemed to have exercised such right to set off and to have made a charge against any such money immediately upon the occurrence of any events of default set forth below, even though such charge is made or entered on the books of the Lender subsequent to those events.

5.           All moneys available to the Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt may be applied by the Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order, priority and proportions as the Lender may see fit to the payment or reduction of such portion of the Debt as the Lender may elect.

6.           The undersigned hereby expressly agrees that this Guaranty is independent of, and in addition to, all collateral granted, pledged or assigned under the Loan Documents, and the undersigned hereby consents that from time to time, before or after any default by the Borrower, with or without further notice to or assent from the undersigned:

(a)           any security at any time held by or available to the Lender for any obligation of the Borrower, or any security at any time held by or available to the Lender for any obligation of any other person or party primarily, secondarily or otherwise liable for all or any portion of the Debt, any other Liabilities and/or any other obligations of the Borrower or any other person or party, other than the Lender, under any of the Loan Documents (“Other Obligations”), including any guarantor of the Debt and/or any of such Other Obligations, may be accelerated, settled, exchanged, surrendered or released and the Lender may fail to set off and may release, in whole or in part, any balance of any deposit account or credit on its books in favor of the Borrower, or of any such other person or party;

 

  

  

  

(b)           any obligation of the Borrower, or of any such other person or party, may be changed, altered, renewed, extended, continued, accelerated, surrendered, compromised, settled, waived or released in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived; and

(c)           The Lender may extend further credit in any manner whatsoever to the Borrower, and generally deal with the Borrower or any of the above-mentioned security, deposit account, credit on its books or other person or party as the Lender may see fit;

and the undersigned shall remain bound in all respects under this Guaranty, without any loss of any rights by the Lender and without affecting the liability of the undersigned, notwithstanding any such exchange, surrender, release, change, alteration, renewal, extension, continuance, compromise, waiver, inaction, extension of further credit or other dealing.  In addition, all moneys available to the Lender for application in payment or reduction of the Debt and/or any Other Obligations may be applied by the Lender in such manner and in such amounts and at such time or times and in such order, priority and proportions as the Lender may see fit.

7.           The undersigned hereby waives:

(a)           notice of acceptance of this Guaranty and of the making of the Loan or any advance thereof by the Lender to the Borrower;

(b)           presentment and demand for payment of the Debt or any portion thereof;

(c)           protest and notice of dishonor or default to any of the undersigned or to any other person or party with respect to the Debt or any portion thereof;

(d)           all other notices to which any of the undersigned might otherwise be entitled; and

(e)           any demand under this Guaranty.

8.           If any of the following events should occur:

(a)           default under any of the Loan Documents and its continuance beyond any applicable notice and/or grace periods therein contained;

(b)           any of the undersigned violates any provision of this Guaranty;

(c)           any of the undersigned terminates or dissolves or suspends its usual business activities or conveys, sells, leases, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or a substantial part of its property, business or assets other than in the ordinary course of business;

then, and in such event, the Lender may declare the Liabilities to be, and the same shall become, immediately due and payable.

9.           This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection and the undersigned further waives any right to require that any action be brought against the Borrower or any other person or party or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person or party.  Any payment on account of or reacknowledgment of the Debt by the Borrower, or any other party liable therefor, shall be deemed to be made on behalf of the undersigned and shall serve to start anew the statutory period of limitations applicable to the Debt.

 

  

  

  

10.           Each reference herein to the Lender shall be deemed to include its successors and assigns, in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty shall also inure.  Each reference herein to the undersigned shall be deemed to include the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned, all of whom shall be bound by the provisions of this Guaranty, provided, however, that the undersigned shall in no event nor under any circumstance have the right, without obtaining the prior written consent of the Lender, to assign or transfer the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, in whole or in part, to any other person, party or entity.

11.           The term “undersigned” as used herein shall, if this Guaranty is signed by more than one party, unless otherwise stated herein, mean the “undersigned and each of them” and each undertaking herein contained shall be their joint and several undertaking.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one party, all singular references to the undersigned shall be deemed to be plural.  If this Guaranty is signed by more than one party, the Bank may proceed against none, one or more of the undersigned at one time or from time to time as it sees fit in its sole and absolute discretion.  If any party hereto shall be a partnership, the agreements and obligations on the part of the undersigned herein contained shall remain in force and application notwithstanding any changes in the individuals composing the partnership and the term “undersigned” shall include any altered or successive partnerships, but the predecessor partnerships and their partners shall not thereby be released from any obligations or liability hereunder.  If any party hereto shall be a corporation, the agreements and obligations on the part of the undersigned herein contained shall remain in force and application notwithstanding the merger, consolidation, reorganization or absorption thereof, and the term “undersigned” shall include such new entity, but the old entity shall not thereby be released from any obligations or liabilities hereunder.

12.           No delay on the part of the Lender in exercising any right or remedy under this Guaranty or failure to exercise the same shall operate as a waiver in whole or in part of any such right or remedy.  No notice to or demand on any of the undersigned shall be deemed to be a waiver of the obligations of any of the undersigned or of the right of the Lender to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Guaranty.  No course of dealing between any of the undersigned and the Lender shall change, modify or discharge, in whole or in part, this Guaranty or any obligations of the undersigned hereunder.

13.           This Guaranty may only be modified, amended, changed or terminated by an agreement in writing signed by the Lender and the undersigned.  No waiver of any term, covenant or provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing by the Lender and if so given by the Lender shall only be effective in the specific instance in which given.

it being understood and agreed that each party will use reasonable efforts to send copies of any notices to the addresses marked “With a copy to” hereinabove set forth; provided, however, that failure to deliver such copy or copies shall have no consequence whatsoever to the effectiveness of any notice made to any of the undersigned or the Lender.  Each party to this Guaranty may designate a change of address by notice given, as herein provided, to the other party fifteen (15) days prior to the date such change of address is to become effective.

19.           This Guaranty is, and shall be deemed to be, a contract entered into under and pursuant to the laws of the State of New York and shall be in all respects governed, construed, applied and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.  The undersigned acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is, and is intended to be, an instrument for the payment of money only, as such phrase is used in §3213 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules of the State of New York, and the undersigned has been fully advised by its counsel of the Lender’s rights and remedies pursuant to said §3213.

20.           The undersigned agrees to submit to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of this Guaranty.  In furtherance of such agreement, the undersigned hereby agrees and consents that without limiting other methods of obtaining jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction over the undersigned in any such action or proceeding may be obtained within or without the jurisdiction of any court located in New York and that any process or notice of motion or other application to any such court in connection with any such action or proceeding may be served upon the undersigned by registered or certified mail to, or by personal service at, the last known address of the undersigned, whether such address be within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.  The undersigned hereby further agrees that the venue of any litigation arising in connection with the Debt or in respect of any of the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty, shall, to the extent permitted by law, be in New York County.  Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of the Lender to bring an action or proceeding arising out of the Guaranty in any other jurisdiction.

21.           The undersigned absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all right to assert or interpose any defense (other than the final and indefeasible payment in full of the Debt), setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever with respect to this Guaranty or the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty, or the obligations of any other person or party (including without limitation, the Borrower) relating to this Guaranty, or the obligations of the undersigned hereunder or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by the Lender to collect the Debt, or any portion thereof, or to enforce the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of the right of the undersigned to assert any compulsory counterclaim maintained in a court of the United States, or of the State of New York if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of the right of the undersigned to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against the Lender in any separate action or proceeding).  The undersigned hereby undertakes and agrees that this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect for all of the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned hereunder, notwithstanding the maturity of the Loan, whether by acceleration, scheduled maturity or otherwise.

 

  

  

  

22.           No exculpatory provisions which may be contained in the Note, the Mortgage or in any other Loan Document shall in any event or under any circumstances be deemed or construed to modify, qualify, or affect in any manner whatsoever the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

23.           The obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under this Guaranty are in addition to the obligations and liabilities of the undersigned under the Other Guaranties (as hereinafter defined).  The discharge of any or all of the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities under any one or more of the Other Guaranties by the undersigned or by reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or under any circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in whole or in part, of the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty.  Conversely, the discharge of any of the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty by the undersigned or by reason of operation of law or otherwise shall in no event or under any circumstance constitute or be deemed to constitute a discharge, in whole or in part, of the undersigned’s obligations and liabilities under any of the Other Guaranties.  The term “Other Guaranties” as used herein shall mean any other guaranty of payment, guaranty of performance, completion guaranty, indemnification agreement or other guaranty or instrument creating any obligation or undertaking of any nature whatsoever (other than this Guaranty) now or hereafter executed and delivered by any of the undersigned to the Lender in connection with the Loan.

24.           This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts by some or all of the parties hereto, each of which counterparts shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute a single agreement of guaranty.  The failure of any party listed below to execute this Guaranty, or any counterpart hereof, or the ineffectiveness for any reason of any such execution, shall not relieve the other signatories from their obligations hereunder nor shall any implication arise from the failure of any of the original guarantors to sign this Guaranty that such non-signing guarantor, or any other guarantor, is released from any of his/her/its respective obligations under the original guaranty.
