GUARANTY AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

(Particular Guaranty)

TO:  ROYAL BANK OF CANADA

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in order to induce Royal Bank of Canada  (the “Lender”) and its successors and assigns as lender under the Loan Agreement (as defined below) to grant, extend or continue credit or other financial accommodations to 2314505 Ontario Inc. (the “Borrower”), the undersigned (the “Guarantor”) unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender and its successors and assigns the complete and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise) of all Liabilities (as defined in the next sentence) at any time owing by the Borrower to the Lender. “Liabilities” as used in this Guaranty means all indebtedness, obligations, liabilities and other amounts due, of whatever nature, of the Borrower to the Lender, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether created directly or acquired by the Lender by assignment or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured, whether absolute or contingent, whether characterized as principal, premium, interest, additional interest, fees, expenses or otherwise and whether the Borrower is bound alone or with any others or as principal or as surety, plus all amounts payable by the Guarantor under paragraph 8 of this Guaranty, including, without limitation, all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities owing to the Lender under a certain loan agreement dated the  4th day of June, 2012 among the Borrower and the Lender (the “Loan Agreement”).

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the obligations of the Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state).

THE GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREES WITH THE LENDER AS FOLLOWS:

1.  Certain Rights of Lender.  At any time and from time to time (and whether once or more than once), without the necessity of any reservation of rights against the Guarantor and without notice to, demand on or further assent by the Guarantor or any other person:  (a) any collateral security (which term as used in this Guaranty includes other guaranties) held by or available to the Lender in respect of the Liabilities or in respect of any guaranty of the Liabilities may be sold, exchanged, waived, subordinated, surrendered or released, in whole or in part and in any order; (b) any of the Liabilities or the obligations of any other guarantor of the Liabilities may be changed, renewed, extended, continued, accelerated, surrendered, compromised, subordinated, waived or released, in whole or in part, or any default with respect thereto waived or any demand for payment with respect thereto rescinded; (c) the Lender may set off, refrain from setting off or release, in whole or in part, any balance of any and all deposits (general or special) or credits on its books in favor of the Borrower or of any such guarantor, may take or refrain from taking or perfecting any security interest in any collateral security and may exercise or refrain from exercising any right against the Borrower or any other person; (d) the Lender may extend or refrain from extending further credit or financial accommodations in any manner whatsoever to, may accept compositions from and may otherwise generally deal with the Borrower and any other person and with any collateral security as the Lender may see fit; and (e) the Lender may apply all moneys at any time received from the Borrower or any other person or from any collateral security in such manner, in such amounts and against such part of the Liabilities (including Liabilities not covered by this Guaranty) as the Lender considers best and change any such application in whole or in part as the Lender may see fit.  All of these actions may be taken without in any way limiting, diminishing or affecting the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty and without imposing any obligation of trust on the Lender, and no loss of or in respect of any collateral security, whether caused by the fault of the Lender or otherwise, shall in any way limit, diminish or affect the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.

2.  Liability of Guarantor Unconditional.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.  The Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty is absolute and unconditional and shall not be limited, diminished or affected by the happening from time to time of any event, including (but not limited to) any event described in paragraph 1 of this Guaranty and any of the following events, whether or not any such event occurs with notice to or with the consent of the Guarantor or once or more than once:

(a)  the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, discharge, release or termination of any or all of the Liabilities;

(b)  the failure to give any notice to the Borrower;

(c)  the extension of the time for payment or performance of any of the Liabilities;

(d)  the change (whether or not material) of the terms of the Loan Agreement or any other document relating to the Liabilities (a “Document”);

(e)  the taking of or failure to take any action referred to in any Document;

(f)  the illegality, invalidity, unenforceability (including, but not limited to, by reason of any statute of limitations or automatic stay) or irregularity of any of the Liabilities or any Document;

(g)  any failure, omission, delay or lack of diligence on the part of the Lender in the enforcement, assertion or exercise of any right, power or remedy conferred on the Lender under any Document, or the inability of the Lender to enforce any provision of any Document for any reason, or any other act or omission on the part of the Lender, including (but not limited to) failure by the Lender to perfect or protect any lien or security interest granted to the Lender, to commence and prosecute any action to collect the Liabilities or to enforce or collect any judgment obtained by the Lender;

(h)  the dissolution or liquidation of the Borrower, the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, the marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Borrower or the existence of receivership, insolvency, assignment for the benefit of creditors, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower; and

(i)  any other event, action or circumstance that would, in the absence of this subparagraph (i), result in the release or discharge of the Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Guaranty.

3.  Waiver of Notice.  The Guarantor waives all notices of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Liabilities and notice or proof of reliance by the Lender on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty.  The Liabilities shall conclusively be considered to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance on this Guaranty, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Lender shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance on this Guaranty.  The Guarantor also waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) all requirements of notice, presentment, protest or demand on it, the Borrower or any other person, all other notices and demands whatsoever relating to the Liabilities and any requirement that the Lender file a claim with a court in any bankruptcy or similar proceedings of the Borrower or first proceed against the Borrower or any other person or first realize on any collateral security held by it or otherwise exhaust any right, power or remedy under any Document or against the Borrower or any other person before proceeding against the Guarantor under this Guaranty.  The Lender shall have no responsibility to notify the Guarantor of the Borrower’s financial condition or the Borrower’s incurrence or performance of the Liabilities.

4.  Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty, shall not be discharged until performance and payment in full of all of the Liabilities, payment of all amounts payable by the Guarantor under this Guaranty and cancellation of this Guaranty by the Lender and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any interruption in the business relations between the Borrower and the Lender or any increase or decrease (including a decrease to zero) from time to time in the amount of the Liabilities.  If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Borrower to the Lender of any of the Liabilities is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or proposed compromise or arrangement with creditors of the Borrower, all Liabilities of which payment or performance is stayed that would otherwise be subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor immediately on demand by the Lender.

5.  Reinstatement.  This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or shall be reinstated, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender for any reason whatsoever (including, but not limited to, the bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any other person), all as though such payment had not been received by the Lender.

6.  Subordination.  All indebtedness, obligations, liabilities and other amounts due, of whatever nature, of the Borrower to the Guarantor (the “Subordinated Debt”), whether now existing or hereafter incurred, whether created directly or acquired by the Guarantor by assignment or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured, whether absolute or contingent, whether characterized as principal, premium, interest, additional interest, fees, expenses or otherwise and whether the Borrower is bound alone or with any others or as principal or as surety, are hereby assigned to the Lender and shall be subject and subordinate to the Liabilities, and all moneys received by the Guarantor in respect of the Subordinated Debt shall immediately on the Lender’s demand be received in trust for the Lender and paid over to the Lender.  This subordination is independent of the guaranty provided in this Guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any termination of or decrease in the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty.  Assets of the Borrower held by the Guarantor, whether in the form of deposits, collateral security or otherwise, shall not at any time be set off against the Subordinated Debt but shall be held in trust for the Lender.  The Guarantor hereby undertakes to execute such additional documents and to do such additional acts as may be necessary or desirable (in the sole opinion of the Lender) in order to carry out, complete or perfect this subordination and assignment.

7.  Limits on Subrogation.  No payment by the Guarantor pursuant to any provision of this Guaranty or other satisfaction of the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall entitle the Guarantor, by subrogation or otherwise, to any right or remedy against the Borrower until after the indefeasible payment in full of the Liabilities.

8.  Costs, Expenses, Etc.  The Guarantor agrees to pay on demand all losses, costs, expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs and expenses of counsel who are employees of the Lender)) and damages incurred by the Lender in connection with the preparation of this Guaranty or any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Guaranty, in connection with any rescission or return referred to in paragraph 5 of this Guaranty, in enforcing or attempting to enforce this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Liabilities or in protecting the Lender’s rights under this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Liabilities following any default by the Guarantor under this Guaranty, whether the Lender’s rights are enforced by suit or otherwise.

9.  Obligations Additional.  This Guaranty and the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty are in addition to and not in substitution for (a) any other collateral security, by whomsoever given, at any time held by the Lender and (b) any present or future obligation of the Guarantor or any other obligor to the Lender incurred otherwise than under this Guaranty, whether the Guarantor or such other obligor is bound with or apart from the Borrower.

10.  Setoff, Etc.  As security for the payment of the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, the Guarantor grants to the Lender a continuing lien on, security interest in and right of setoff against all moneys, securities (other than any “margin stock”, as such term is defined in Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and other property of the Guarantor, and the proceeds thereof, now or hereafter in the possession of or on deposit with the Lender or with any subsidiary or affiliate of the Lender or any third party for the benefit of the Lender or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Lender, whether held in a general or special account or deposit (including, but not limited to, time deposits) or for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or otherwise, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or account of the Guarantor.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Guarantor authorizes the Lender, on the occurrence of a default by the Guarantor under this Guaranty, to proceed against all or any part of such moneys, securities and other property of the Guarantor, at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor or any other person, to the full extent of the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, by right of setoff, banker’s lien or otherwise, and to appropriate and apply all or any part of such moneys, securities and other property against and on account of the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, whether or not the Lender has made any demand under this Guaranty and although the obligations and liabilities held or owing by the Lender may be contingent or unmatured.  The Guarantor authorizes the Lender to do all such acts and to execute all such documents in the Guarantor’s name or the Lender’s name as may be considered by the Lender necessary or appropriate to preserve, protect or perfect its rights and remedies under this paragraph.

11.  Payments.  All payments under this Guaranty shall be made to the Lender at the location specified in the Loan Agreement or such other branch, agency or affiliate of the Lender as the Lender may indicate in a written notice to the Guarantor, in immediately available funds and without setoff, counterclaim or deduction of any kind, and shall be made in the lawful currency in which the Liabilities are payable (“Primary Currency”).  Without in any manner limiting the Guarantor’s obligations contained in the preceding sentence, if any sum is paid to and received by the Lender under this Guaranty in a currency other than the Primary Currency (such other currency is called the “Alternative Currency”), whether by judgment (and notwithstanding the rate of exchange actually applied in such judgment) or otherwise, the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall nevertheless be discharged only to the extent of the net amount of Primary Currency that the Lender is able in accordance with its normal banking procedures to purchase with such amount of Alternative Currency.  If the Lender is not able to purchase with such amount of Alternative Currency sufficient Primary Currency to discharge the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty in full, the Guarantor’s obligations to the Lender with respect to such difference shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by payment of or judgment being obtained for any other sums due under this Guaranty.

12.  Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of the Lender and its successors, transferees and assigns and shall bind the Guarantor and the Guarantor’s successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the Lender’s prior written consent.  If the Guarantor is a partnership, the Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any change in the parties comprising the partnership and the term “Guarantor” shall include any altered or successive partnerships, but the predecessor partnerships and their partners shall continue to be bound under this Guaranty.

13.  Joint and Several Obligations.  If this Guaranty is executed by more than one party, each party’s liability under this Guaranty shall be joint and several; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall be construed for all purposes as if a separate, identical agreement (including any limitation on the Guarantor’s liability) had been executed by each party.  The Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall not in any way be changed, reduced or terminated as a result of (a) any change or reduction in or termination of the obligations of any other guarantor of the Liabilities, (b) the death or loss or diminution of capacity of any other guarantor of the Liabilities or (c) the failure of any other person to execute this or any other guaranty of the Liabilities.

14.  No Merger, Etc.  The Guarantor shall not, without the Lender’s prior written consent, enter into any merger, amalgamation or consolidation or, except in the ordinary course of business, sell, lease or otherwise transfer or dispose of a material portion of the Guarantor’s assets.

15.  Waivers and Amendments, Cumulative Remedies.  The Lender shall not be obligated to exercise any right, power or privilege under this Guaranty, and no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Lender, any such right, power or privilege under this Guaranty shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  No notice to or demand on the Guarantor shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Lender’s right to take further action without notice or demand as provided herein.  No waiver shall be applicable except in the specific instance for which given or shall in any way impair the Lender’s rights or the Guarantor’s liability in any other respect or at any other time, nor in any event shall any modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of the Lender.  The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other right or remedy provided by law, in equity or under any other agreement or instrument.

16.  Representations and Warranties.  The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Lender that:  (a) it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; (b) the Guarantor has full capacity and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty, and the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not (i) violate any law or regulation, (ii) violate any provision of the Guarantor’s organizational documents, (iii) violate or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any indenture, agreement, license or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s properties may be bound, (iv) violate any order of any court, tribunal or governmental agency binding on the Guarantor or any of the Guarantor’s properties, or (v) result in the creation or imposition of any lien of any nature whatsoever on any of the Guarantor’s properties or assets; (c) no approval or consent of, or filing or registration with, any federal, state or local regulatory authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty; and (d) this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except that enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity.  These representations and warranties shall survive the execution of this Guaranty.

17.  Stamp Taxes, Etc.  The Guarantor agrees to indemnify the Lender against any claim or liability for any stamp, excise or other similar taxes and any penalties or interest with respect thereto that may be imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any jurisdiction in connection with the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, any document related to this Guaranty or any modification of this Guaranty or any such document.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.

18.  Governing Law, Submission to Jurisdiction.  This Guaranty and the rights and obligations of the Lender and of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.  For purposes of any suit, action or proceeding involving this Guaranty or any judgment entered by any court in respect of such suit, action or proceeding, the Guarantor expressly submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in the City of New York, New York, and agrees that any order, process or other paper may be served upon the Guarantor within or without such court’s jurisdiction by mailing a copy to the Guarantor at the Guarantor’s address for notices provided in this Guaranty, provided that a reasonable time for appearance is allowed.  The Guarantor irrevocably waives any objection the Guarantor may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty brought in any such court and further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect the Lender’s right to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or to bring any action or proceeding against the Guarantor or the Guarantor’s property in the courts of other jurisdictions.

19.  Severability.  Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Guaranty, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision or render it unenforceable in any other jurisdiction.

20.  Notices.  Notices and other communications with respect to this Guaranty shall be in writing (including telecommunications) and made or delivered to the party to which such notice or other communication is required or permitted to be given or made at the address(es) shown on the signature page of this Guaranty or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party given in accordance with this paragraph and shall be considered delivered on receipt if telecommunicated or delivered by messenger or courier service or five days after mailing, postage prepaid.  All mailed notices shall be by certified or registered mail.

21.  Headings.  The headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

22.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THIS GUARANTY THE LENDER, KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH DISPUTE SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.

(hereinafter called the "customer") to the Bank or remaining unpaid by the customer to the Bank, heretofore or hereafter incurred or arising and whether incurred by or arising from agreement or dealings between the Bank and the customer or by or from any agreement or dealings with any third party by which the Bank may be or become in any manner whatsoever a creditor of the customer or however otherwise incurred or arising anywhere within or outside the country where this guarantee is executed and whether the customer be bound alone or with another or others and whether as principal or surety (such debts and liabilities being hereinafter called the "liabilities"); the liability of the undersigned hereunder being limited to the sum of $2,750,000.00 TWO MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND Dollars together with interest thereon from the date of demand for payment at a rate equal to the Bank’s Prime Interest Rate per annum in effect from time to time plus 1.5% one and a half percent per annum as well after as before default and judgement.

AND THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OF THEM (IF MORE THAN ONE) HEREBY JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY AGREE(S) WITH THE BANK AS FOLLOWS:

(1) The Bank may grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges to, take securities (which word as used herein includes securities taken by the Bank from the Customer and others, monies which the Customer has on deposit with the Bank, other assets of the Customer held by the Bank in safekeeping or otherwise, and other guarantees) from and give the same and any or all existing securities up to, abstain from taking securities from, or perfecting securities of, cease or refrain from giving credit or making loans or advances to, or change any term or condition applicable to the liabilities, including without limitation, the rate of interest or maturity date, if any, or introduce new terms and conditions with regard to the liabilities, or accept compositions from and otherwise deal with, the customer and others and with all securities as the Bank may see fit, and may apply all moneys at any time received from the customer or others or from securities upon such part of the liabilities as the Bank deems best and change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Bank may see fit, the whole without in any way limiting or lessening the liability of the undersigned under this guarantee, and no loss of or in respect of any securities received by the Bank from the customer or others, whether occasioned by the fault of the Bank or otherwise, shall in any way limit or lessen the liability of the undersigned under this guarantee.

(2) This guarantee shall be a continuing guarantee and shall cover all the liabilities, and it shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Bank.

(3) The Bank shall not be bound to exhaust its recourse against the customer or others or any securities it may at any time hold before being entitled to payment from the undersigned of the liabilities.  The undersigned renounce(s) to all benefits of discussion and division.

(4) The undersigned or any of them may, by notice in writing delivered to the Manager of the branch or agency of the Bank receiving this instrument, with effect from and after the date that is 30 days following the date of receipt by the Bank of such notice, determine their or his/her liability under this guarantee in respect of liabilities thereafter incurred or arising but not in respect of any liabilities theretofore incurred or arising even though not then matured, provided, however, that notwithstanding receipt of any such notice the Bank may fulfil any requirements of the customer based on agreements express or implied made prior to the receipt of such notice and any resulting liabilities shall be covered by this guarantee; and provided further that in the event of the determination of this guarantee as to one or more of the undersigned it shall remain a continuing guarantee as to the other or others of the undersigned.

The term "Liabilities", as previously defined, for purposes of the postponement feature provided by this agreement, and this section in particular, includes any funds advanced or held at the disposal of the customer under any line(s) of credit.

(6) This guarantee and agreement shall not be affected by the death or loss or diminution of capacity of the undersigned or any of them or by any change in the name of the customer or in the membership of the customer's firm through the death or retirement of one or more partners or the introduction of one or more other partners or otherwise, or by the acquisition of the customer's business by a corporation, or by any change whatsoever in the objects, capital structure or constitution of the customer, or by the customer's business being amalgamated with a corporation, but shall notwithstanding the happening of any such event continue to apply to all the liabilities whether theretofore or thereafter incurred or arising and in this instrument the word "customer" shall include every such firm and corporation.

(7) This guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the payment or liquidation at any time or times of any sum or sums of money for the time being due or remaining unpaid to the Bank, and all dividends, compositions, proceeds of security valued and payments received by the Bank from the customer or from others or from estates shall be regarded for all purposes as payments in gross without any right on the part of the undersigned to claim in reduction of the liability under this guarantee the benefit of any such dividends, compositions, proceeds or payments or any securities held by the Bank or proceeds thereof, and the undersigned shall have no right to be subrogated in any rights of the Bank until the Bank shall have received payment in full of the liabilities.

(8) All monies, advances, renewals, credits and credit facilities in fact borrowed or obtained from the Bank shall be deemed to form part of the liabilities, notwithstanding any lack or limitation of status or of power, incapacity or disability of the customer or of the directors, partners or agents of the customer, or that the customer may not be a legal or suable entity, or any irregularity, defect or informality in the borrowing or obtaining of such monies, advances, renewals, credits or credit facilities, or any other reason, similar or not, the whole whether known to the Bank or not.  Any sum which may not be recoverable from the undersigned on the footing of a guarantee, whether for the reasons set out in the previous sentence, or for any other reason, similar or not, shall be recoverable from the undersigned and each of them as sole or principal debtor in respect of that sum, and shall be paid to the Bank on demand with interest and accessories.

(9) This guarantee is in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantee, by whomsoever given, at any time held by the Bank, and any present or future obligation to the Bank incurred or arising otherwise than under a guarantee, of the undersigned or any of them or of any other obligant, whether bound with or apart from the customer; excepting any guarantee surrendered for cancellation on delivery of this instrument.

(10) The undersigned and each of them shall be bound by any account settled between the Bank and the customer, and if no such account has been so settled immediately before demand for payment under this guarantee any account stated by the Bank shall be accepted by the undersigned and each of them as conclusive evidence of the amount which at the date of the account so stated is due by the customer to the Bank or remains unpaid by the customer to the Bank.

(11) This guarantee and agreement shall be operative and binding upon every signatory thereof notwithstanding the non-execution thereof by any other proposed signatory or signatories, and possession of this instrument by the Bank shall be conclusive evidence against the undersigned and each of them that this instrument was not delivered in escrow or pursuant to any agreement that it should not be effective until any conditions precedent or subsequent had been complied with, unless at the time of receipt of this instrument by the Bank each signatory thereof obtains from the Manager of the branch or agency of the Bank receiving this instrument a letter setting out the terms and conditions under which this instrument was delivered and the conditions, if any, to be observed before it becomes effective.

(12) No suit based on this guarantee shall be instituted until demand for payment has been made, and demand for payment shall be deemed to have been effectually made upon any guarantor if and when an envelope containing such demand, addressed to such guarantor at the address of such guarantor last known to the Bank, is posted, postage prepaid, in the post office, and in the event of the death of any guarantor demand for payment addressed to any of such guarantor's heirs, executors, administrators or legal representatives at the address of the addressee last known to the Bank and posted as aforesaid shall be deemed to have been effectually made upon all of them.  Moreover, when demand for payment has been made, the undersigned shall also be liable to the Bank for all legal costs (on a solicitor and own client basis) incurred by or on behalf of the Bank resulting from any action instituted on the basis of this guarantee.  All payments hereunder shall be made to the Bank at a branch or agency of the Bank.

(13) This instrument covers all agreements between the parties hereto relative to this guarantee and assignment and postponement, and none of the parties shall be bound by any representation or promise made by any person relative thereto which is not embodied herein.

(14) This guarantee and agreement shall extend to and enure to the benefit of the Bank and its successors and assigns, and every reference herein to the undersigned or to each of them or to any of them, is a reference to and shall be construed as including the undersigned and the heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned or of each of them or of any of them, as the case may be, to and upon all of whom this guarantee and agreement shall extend and be binding.
