WHEREAS Lender has agreed to fund AmeriGuard Security Services, Inc. (the “Company”) the sum of up to $7,000,000 (the “Investment”) pursuant to a Government Purchase Order/Receivables Financing Agreement among the Company and Lender (as in effect from time to time, the “Agreement”), which is hereby incorporated by reference herein;

WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the Investment, Lender requires Guarantor to execute and perform in accordance with this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS Guarantor desires to induce Lender to make the Investment in reliance on this Guaranty.

Guaranty

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Investment, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor agrees as follows:

1.          Lender has agreed to make the Investment subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Agreement.

 

2.         Guarantor hereby guarantees full and complete payment and performance of the Agreement by the Company, including prompt payment of the full amount of Company’s Indebtedness when due thereunder.

 

For purposes of this Guaranty, the term “Indebtedness” means the obligation of the Company to pay all obligations to Lender thereunder on or before an Advance Maturity Date and/or the Facility Maturity Date (as defined in the Agreement).

 

3.          This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the Agreement has been fully performed and discharged. The Guarantor acknowledges that (i) there may be future advances under, or other amendments and modification to, the Agreement after the date hereof, (ii) the amount of the Indebtedness may fluctuate from time to time hereafter, and (iii) this Guaranty shall remain in force at all times hereafter with respect to all obligations under the Agreement, without the necessity of amending or modifying this Guaranty or entering into a new or separate agreement with respect thereto.

 

4.          Guarantor agrees not to assert subrogation rights or any other rights of any kind against the Company, until the Agreement has been fully performed, and the Guarantor will take no action that may reasonably be expected to, or which does or shall, impair or limit Lender’s ability to recover thereunder.

 

5.          In addition to the Indebtedness, the Guarantor agrees to pay all costs and expenses incurred by Lender in attempting to collect the Indebtedness and in enforcing this Guaranty.

 

6.          This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of Lender, its successors in interest and assigns and shall be binding upon the heirs, executors, administrators, and successors of Guarantor; provided this Guaranty may not be assigned without prior written consent of Lender.

 

7.          Lender may enforce this Guaranty in the event of any default under the Agreement without being first required to proceed against the Company, any other party, or any other guarantor (if any) or to attempt to realize on any Collateral (as defined in the Agreement). The Guarantor shall not be entitled to satisfy this Guaranty by contributing ratably with any other guarantor or by otherwise paying less than the entire unpaid Indebtedness. Payment under this Guaranty shall be due immediately upon demand by Lender.

 

8.          In the event of the death of the Guarantor, the obligation of the deceased hereunder shall continue in full force and effect against his or her estate as to any Agreement obligations that shall have been created or incurred by the Company or committed or promised to Lender in any other manner prior to the time when Lender shall have received notice in writing of such death. The executor or administrator of such estate shall be obligated and authorized to pay all Indebtedness and otherwise to satisfy the Company’s obligations under the Agreement.

 

9.          This Guaranty is and is intended to be an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty which shall not be affected by any act or thing whatsoever except as herein provided, and which shall be independent of and in addition to any other guaranty, endorsement or collateral held by Lender with respect to the Agreement or Indebtedness. Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that, as long as the Company owes obligations under the Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect. The amount guaranteed hereby shall continue to be guaranteed notwithstanding prior or subsequent reduction of the Indebtedness by persons or from sources other than the Guarantor, so long as obligations remain under the Agreement.

 

10.        To secure Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, Guarantor hereby pledges, assigns, and grants to Lender a security interest in and to any and all right, title, or interest of Guarantor, now existing or hereafter acquired, in any asset, expressly including all Accounts, Chattel Paper, Goods (including Inventory and Equipment), Instruments, Investment Property, Documents, and General Intangibles, real estate, and all Proceeds thereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Section 10 have the meanings given to them in the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

11.        Upon the occurrence of a default under the Agreement or hereunder, Lender may, at its option, call on this Guaranty, and, if it is not satisfied in full within three days of notice, Lender may proceed at any time thereafter to take any action permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code.

 

12.        Notice to Guarantor should be sent to the email address set forth opposite Guarantor’s signature below.

 

13.        This Guaranty shall be governed by the laws of the state of New York, without regard to any conflict of laws principles, and shall be deemed to have been negotiated, executed, and performed exclusively therein.

 

14.        After an Event of Default, Guarantor, its successors or assigns, shall be chargeable with and agrees to pay all costs of collection and defense, including attorneys’ fees and costs, actually incurred by Lender, all of which shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Section 22 of the Agreement, through the date of repayment in full.

 

15.        This Guaranty may be transferred by Lender to any person or party in its sole discretion.

16.         Any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof, shall be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York, New York. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and waive any objection to the venue or jurisdiction based on forum non conveniens or any other grounds. The parties intend, and Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees, that this Guaranty (including any and all obligations to repay amounts advanced under the Agreement, whether principal, interest, fees, costs, or otherwise) constitutes an instrument for the payment of money only, within the meaning of New York Civil Practice Law and Rules (“CPLR”) 3213. If Guarantor fails to make any such payment when due under this Guaranty, Lender shall be entitled to move for relief under CPLR 3213, and Guarantor expressly waives any defense thereunder except for proof of payment.

 

17.        This Guaranty may be modified or amended if agreed to in writing by all Parties. This Guaranty represents the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. There is no other prior or contemporaneous agreement, either written or oral, between the Parties with respect to this subject. This Guaranty shall supersede any and all previous agreements.

 

18.        The Parties intend that this Guaranty be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law. Therefore, if any provision of this Guaranty, on its face or as applied to any person or circumstance, is or becomes unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Guaranty and the application of that provision to other persons, circumstances, or extent will not be impaired.
