SECTION 84:  RIGHT OF COLLATERAL AGENT AND SECURED CREDITORS TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES.
 
 
 
6

 
 
84.1.           GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY ACTION, DISPUTE, PROCEEDING, CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG GUARANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SECURED CREDITOR WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE (“DISPUTE” OR “DISPUTES”) SHALL, AT THE COLLATERAL AGENT’S ELECTION, WHICH ELECTION MAY BE MADE AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE COMMENCEMENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING BY THE COLLATERAL AGENT, OR IN THE EVENT OF A JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY GUARANTOR AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE LAST DAY TO ANSWER AND/OR RESPOND TO A SUMMONS AND/OR COMPLAINT MADE BY GUARANTOR, BE RESOLVED BY ARBITRATION IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 19 AND SHALL, AT THE ELECTION OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT, INCLUDE ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT O F OR IN CONNECTION WITH (I) THIS GUARANTY OR ANY RELATED AGREEMENTS OR INSTRUMENTS, (II) ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE AGREEMENTS INVOLVING GUARANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR THE OTHER SECURED CREDITORS, (III) ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND ALL PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE TRANSACTIONS INVOLVING GUARANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR ANY SECURED CREDITOR, AND (IV) ANY ASPECT OF THE PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE RELATIONSHIP OF GUARANTOR AND THE COLLATERAL AGENT OR SECURED CREDITORS.  Collateral Agent may elect to require arbitration of any such Dispute with Guarantor without thereby being required to arbitrate all Disputes between the Collateral Agent, the other Secured Creditors and Guarantor.  Any such dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with Article 75 of the New York Civil Practice Law and Rules and the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).  In the event of any inconsistency between such Rules and these arbitration provisions, these provisions shall supersede such Rules. All statutes of limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any arbitration proceeding under this subsection 19(a).  In any arbitration proceeding subject to these provisions, the arbitration panel (the “arbitrator”) is specifically empowered to decide (by documents only, or with a hearing, at the arbitrator's sole discretion) pre-hearing motions which are substantially similar to pre-hearing motions to dismiss and motions for summary adjudication.  In any such arbitration proceeding, the arbitrator shall not have the power or authority to award punitive damages to any party.  Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Whenever an arbitration is required, the parties shall select an arbitrator in the manner provided in subsection 19(d).
 
84.2.           No provision of, nor the exercise of any rights under, subsection 19(a) shall limit the right of any party (i) to foreclose against any real or personal property collateral through judicial foreclosure, by the exercise of a power of sale under a deed of trust, mortgage or other security agreement or instrument, pursuant to applicable provisions of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended, or otherwise pursuant to applicable law, (ii) to exercise self help remedies including but not limited to setoff and repossession, or (iii) to request and obtain from a court having jurisdiction before, during or after the pendency of any arbitration, provisional or ancillary remedies and relief including but not limited to injunctive or mandatory relief or the appointment of a receiver. The institution and maintenance of an action or judicial proceeding for, or pursuit of, provisional or ancillary remedies or exercise of self help remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Creditors, even if the Collateral Agent or any Secured Creditor is the plaintiff, to submit the Dispute to arbitration if the Collateral Agent or such Secured Creditor would otherwise have such right.
 
 
 
7

 
 
84.3.           The Collateral Agent may require arbitration of any Dispute(s) concerning the lawfulness, unconscionableness, propriety, or reasonableness of any exercise by the Collateral Agent of its right to take or dispose of any Collateral or its exercise of any other right in connection with Collateral including, without limitation, judicial foreclosure, exercising a power of sale under a deed of trust or mortgage, obtaining or executing a writ of attachment, taking or disposing of property with or without judicial process pursuant to Article 9 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or otherwise as permitted by applicable law, notwithstanding any such exercise by the Collateral Agent.
 
84.4.           Whenever an arbitration is required under subsection 19(a), the arbitrator shall be selected, except as otherwise herein provided, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. A single arbitrator shall decide any claim of $100,000 or less and he or she shall be an attorney with at least five years’ experience.  Where the claim of any party exceeds $100,000, the Dispute shall be decided by a majority vote of three arbitrators, at least two of whom shall be attorneys (at least one of whom shall have not less than five years' experience representing commercial banks).
 
84.5.           In the event of any Dispute governed by this Section 19, each of the parties shall, subject to the award of the arbitrator, pay an equal share of the arbitrator's fees.  The arbitrator shall have the power to award recovery of all costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees, administrative fees, arbitrator’s fees, and court costs) to the prevailing party.
 
SECTION 85:  Severability.  If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty or any document executed in connection herewith shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not (to the full extent permitted by law) in any way be affected or impaired.
 
SECTION 86:   Headings.  The descriptive headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any provision hereof.
 
SECTION 87:   WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY.  EACH OF THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE OTHER SECURED CREDITORS AND GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CROSS-CLAIM OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY OR AGAINST IT ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER, IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR THE OBLIGATIONS.
 
SECTION 88:   WAIVER OF CERTAIN OTHER RIGHTS.  GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO INTERPOSE ANY DEFENSE, SET-OFF, COUNTERCLAIM OR CROSS-CLAIM OF ANY NATURE OR DESCRIPTION, ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR VENUE, AND ANY CLAIM FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES.
 
SECTION 89:   Amendment and Restatement.  This Amended and Restated Unlimited Guaranty amends, restates and replaces in its entirety and is given in substitution for but not in satisfaction of all previous guaranties given by Guarantor in favor of Collateral Agent and Secured Creditors, including, but not limited to (i) that certain Unlimited Continuing Guaranty dated May 12, 1997 executed by Alarm Lock Systems, Inc. and (ii) that certain Unlimited Continuing Guaranty dated July 27, 2000 executed by Continental Instruments LLC (as each may have been amended, modified, supplemented or otherwise restated from time to time).

SECTION 90:   Counterparts; Integration.  Facsimile or electronic transmissions of any executed original document and/or retransmission of any executed facsimile or electronic transmission shall be deemed to be the same as the delivery of an executed original.  At the request of any party hereto, the other parties hereto shall confirm facsimile or electronic transmissions by executing duplicate original documents and delivering the same to the requesting party or parties.  This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.   This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
SECTION 91:   Additional Guarantors.  Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of the Borrower organized under the laws of the United States that was not in existence on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Guaranty as a Guarantor upon becoming a Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery after the date hereof by the Collateral Agent and such Subsidiary of an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein.  The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Guaranty.
 
SECTION 92:   General Terms and Conditions.  In addition to and without limitation of any of the foregoing, this Guaranty shall be deemed to be a Loan Document.
