Section 20.    Governing Law.  This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its principles of conflicts of law.
 
Section 21.    Subordination. Once a demand for payment is made on the Guarantor under this Guaranty Guarantor will not (1) make any demand for payment of, or take any action to accelerate, any obligation owed to Guarantor by Borrower, (2) seek to collect payment of, or enforce any right or remedies against Borrower, any of the obligations owed to Guarantor by Borrower or any guarantees, credit supports, collateral or other security related to or supporting any of such obligations, or (3) commence, or join with any other creditor in commencing, any bankruptcy or similar proceeding against Borrower. Guarantor also agrees that the payment of all obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in time and right of payment in accordance with the terms of this Section to the prior payment in full (in cash) of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of such subordination, (1) to the extent possible, Guarantor will not take or receive from Borrower any payments, in cash or any other property, by setoff or any other means, of any or all of the obligations owed to Guarantor by Borrower, or purchase, redeem, or otherwise acquire any of such obligations, or change the terms or provisions of any such obligations and (2) if for any reason and under any circumstance Guarantor receives a payment on such obligation, whether in a bankruptcy or similar proceeding or otherwise, all such payments or distributions upon or with respect to such obligations shall be received in trust for the benefit of Lender, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Guarantor and shall be forthwith paid over to Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of securities or other non-cash property) for, the payment or prepayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantor agrees that any subrogation rights Guarantor may acquire as a result of a payment under this Section may not be exercised until (1) the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (after Lender no longer has any obligation or arrangement to provide credit to Borrower, including under or pursuant to a line of credit), and (2) the payment of all fees and expenses to be paid by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.
 
Section 22.    Miscellaneous.  This Guaranty is in addition to and not in limitation of any other rights and remedies Lender may have by virtue of any other instrument or agreement previously, contemporaneously or hereafter executed by Guarantor or any other party or by law or otherwise. If any provision of this Guaranty is contrary to applicable law, such provision shall be deemed ineffective without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Guaranty. Titles in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of this Guaranty. This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement between Guarantor and Lender with respect to the matters covered by this Guaranty and supercedes all written or oral agreements with respect to such matters.
