Recitals:

WHEREAS, this Guaranty is entered into as a condition to that certain Reorganization Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Purchase Agreement") of even date herewith between the Guarantor, CBR Acquisition Corp., a Florida corporation (the "Buyer"), and the Seller.  This Guaranty guaranties the payment and performance of all obligations, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate or bankruptcy proceedings (collectively, the "Obligations"), owed by the Buyer to the Seller pursuant to those certain Promissory Notes in the original principal amounts of $2,000,000 and $2,300,000, respectively (together, the "Notes"), issued by the Buyer to the Seller in connection with the Purchase Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Buyer is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Guarantor and the Guarantor acknowledges that without this Guaranty the Seller would not be willing to enter into the Purchase Agreement.

Agreement:

            NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

1.         Guaranty.

            1.1       Guaranty.  The Guarantor, as direct obligor and not merely as a surety, hereby unconditionally, absolutely, and irrevocably guarantees to the Seller the full and prompt performance and payment of all of the Obligations under the Notes.  If the Buyer should default in the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, the Guarantor, as direct obligor and not merely as a surety, shall forthwith pay or perform such Obligations without notice or demand by the Seller in the manner and on the day required by this Guaranty.

            1.2       Continuing Guaranty.  The Guarantor agrees that its obligations pursuant to this Section 1 are unconditional, absolute, and irrevocable and shall not be released, discharged or affected in any way by any circumstances or condition, including, without limitation:

                        (a)        Any amendment or modification or other change to the Notes;

                        (b)        Any failure, omission or delay on the part of the Buyer to conform or comply with any term of either of the Notes;

                        (c)        Any release or discharge by operation of law of the Buyer or any guarantor from any obligation or agreement contained in the Notes or this Guaranty; and

                        (d)        Any other occurrence, circumstance, happening or event, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and whether foreseen or unforeseen, which otherwise might constitute a legal or equitable defense or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which otherwise might limit recourse against the Buyer or the Guarantor.

            1.3.      Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.  The liability of the Guarantor shall be continuing, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon either the pursuit of any remedies against the Buyer or any other person.  The Seller may accept any payment(s), plan for adjustment of debts, plan of reorganization or liquidation, or plan of composition or extension proposed by, or on behalf of, the Buyer or any other guarantor without in any way affecting or discharging the liability of the Guarantor.  If the Obligations are partially paid, the Guarantor shall remain liable for any balance of such Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be revived and reinstated in the event any payment received by the Seller on any Obligation is required to be repaid or rescinded under present or future federal or state law or regulation relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other relief of debtors. 

            1.4       No Discharge.  The Guarantor covenants and agrees that this Guaranty will not be discharged, except by complete performance of its obligations contained herein. 

            1.5       Costs and Expenses.  Without limiting any obligation of the Guarantor hereunder, the Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable fees and costs incurred by the Seller in collecting or securing or attempting to collect or secure this Guaranty or the Obligations, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, whether or not involving litigation and/or appellate or bankruptcy proceedings.

                        (i)         Violate or conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, permit, judgment, ruling, injunction, decree or other decision of any court or other tribunal or any governmental entity or agency binding on the Guarantor or his properties, or conflict with or cause an event of default under any contract or agreement of the Guarantor; or
