GUARANTY
2.1 Guaranty
The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, guarantees the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all Guaranteed Obligations. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which the Guarantor may guaranty without rendering the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder void or voidable under any fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law. The Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections 6(e), 6(f) or 6(g) of any Seller Note, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Guaranteed Obligations may not then be due and payable, the Guarantor will pay to the Sellers forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by the Guarantor if all Guaranteed Obligations were then due and payable.
