Lender shall have the right, at the expense of the Guarantor (which expense shall be included in Costs), to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof. In the event the Guarantor shall fail to discharge or undertake to defend Lender against any claim, loss or liability for which Lender is indemnified hereunder, such failure shall constitute an Event of Default and Lender may, at its sole option and election, defend or settle such claim, loss or liability.

Reinstatement of Obligations. If at any time all or any part of any payment made by the Guarantor or received by Lender from the Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or must be rescinded or returned for any reason whatsoever (including but not limited to, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Guarantor or Borrower), then the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous payment made by the Guarantor, or receipt of payment by Lender, and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such payment, all as though such previous payment by the Guarantor had never been made. 5. Guaranty Absolute.

This Guaranty shall, subject to the terms hereof, be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of.. (a) any lack of genuineness, regularity, legality, validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of any amount payable under any of the Loan Documents, or in any other term of any of the Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, any increase or decrease in the rate of interest thereon, or any other amendment or waiver or consent to departure from any of the Loan Documents including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the waiver of any default thereunder or the making of any arrangement with, or the accepting of any compromise or settlement from, Borrower or any other person or entity liable in respect of any amount payable under any of the Loan Documents, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other 4 guaranty securing any part of the indebtedness of the Loans, (d) any act, omission, circumstance or occurrence that might otherwise vary the risk of the Guarantor or any of them or be deemed a legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor or which might otherwise constitute a defense available to Borrowers or the Guarantor or (e) any dealings or transactions between Lender or Borrower or any other person or entity liable in respect of the indebtedness of the Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to the terms hereof, the Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall, subject to the terms hereof, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any right of set-off or counterclaim which Borrower or the Guarantor may from time to time have in respect of any moneys or liabilities owing by, or any claims against, Lender and the Guarantor irrevocably waive any defense or claim based upon any such right of set-off or counterclaim.

Any payment by Borrower or other circumstance that operates to toll any statute of limitations as to Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to the Guarantor. 7. Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future, including (a) interest and other Guaranteed Obligations arising or accruing after bankruptcy of any Loan Party or any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, and (b) any Guaranteed Obligations that survive repayment of the Loan. This Guaranty and any Security for this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender or any other person upon the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not occurred. The Guarantor shall have no authority to revoke this Guaranty, but if any such revocation shall be deemed to have occurred by operation of law or otherwise, the provisions of this Guaranty shall continue to apply notwithstanding such revocation. 5 8. Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the obligations of any other Loan Party under the Loan Documents (such obligations of any other Loan Party, including Borrower's obligations in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, being referred to in this Guaranty as the "Other Obligations") and any security, and the enforceability of any security for this Guaranty is likewise independent of any such Other Obligations and any other security.

Notwithstanding any provisions of any other Loan Document to the contrary, all of the terms and provisions of this Guaranty are recourse obligations of the Guarantor and not restricted by any limitation on personal liability. 10. Survival. To the fullest extent permitted by law, this Guaranty shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall remain in full force and effect and shall survive the exercise of any remedy by Lender under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any foreclosure or deed in lieu thereof, even if, as a part of such remedy, the Loan is paid or satisfied in full. 11. Waiver of Subrogation. Until such time as the Loan is paid in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights of subrogation and any other claims that they may now or hereafter acquire against Borrower or any insider that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against Borrower or any insider, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower or any insider, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing at any time prior to the indefeasible cash payment of the Loan, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Lender and shall forthwith be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to all amounts payable under this Guaranty or to be held as collateral for any amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising.
