R E C I T A L S :

WHEREAS, the Loan is secured by, among other things, a Loan and Loan and Security Agreement (together with all extensions, renewals, modifications, substitutions and amendments thereof, the Loan and Security Agreement; unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Loan and Security Agreement), dated as of the date hereof, which grants Lender a first priority lien on the Property.
WHEREAS, Lender requires as a condition to the making of the Loan that Guarantor shall have executed and delivered this Guaranty for the benefit of Lender; and
WHEREAS, Guarantor believes that the financing arrangements between Borrowers and Lender will further the business and interests of Guarantor;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in order to induce Lender to make the Loan to Borrowers, Guarantor hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Lender as follows:
1. Authorization and Enforceability of Loan Documents. Guarantor has taken all steps required to authorize and has in its capacity as shareholder of the Borrowers authorized the execution and delivery of the Notes and Loan and Security Agreement. To the best of its knowledge the Notes and Loan and Security Agreement have been duly authorized and executed by Borrowers and are legal, valid and binding instruments, enforceable against Borrowers in accordance with their respective terms subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other legal or equitable principles now or hereafter in effect generally affecting creditors rights and remedies.
2. Obligations Guaranteed. Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to Lender (i) the prompt and unconditional payment of all of the Obligations under the Loan and Security Agreement, including without limit the Loan and the interest thereon, whether now or hereafter advanced, as the same shall become due and payable under the Notes and the Loan and Security Agreement, as well as under any whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, and any and all sums of money which, at the time, may have become or become due and payable under the provisions of the Loan and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, and the due and prompt performance of all of the terms, agreements, covenants and conditions of the Notes, the Loan and Security Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (ii) payment in full of any and all expenses that may be paid or incurred by Lender in the collection of all or any portion of the Guarantors obligations hereunder or the exercise or enforcement of any one or more of the other rights, powers, privileges, remedies and interests of the Lender under the Loan Documents or hereunder, irrespective of the manner or success of any such collection, exercise or enforcement, and whether or not such expenses constitute part of the Borrowers obligations; and (iii) performance of all Borrowers (and all of the other entities guaranteeing the Loan) covenants and obligations contained herein and/or therein. Guarantors obligation to cause Borrower and the other guarantors to take any action with respect to their respective covenants and obligations shall be limited to those actions consistent with its status as the sole stockholder (or as a member or majority stockholder as applicable) of such parties and shall be exercised through the power consequent upon such status.
3. Unconditional Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional, present and continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and is in no way conditioned or contingent upon any attempt to enforce Lenders rights against Borrowers or to collect from the Borrowers or upon any other condition or contingency; accordingly, Lender shall have the right to proceed against any Guarantor immediately upon any Event of Default under the Loan Documents without taking any prior action or proceeding to enforce the Loan Documents or any of them or for the liquidation or foreclosure of any security Lender may at any time hold pursuant thereto. Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claim (within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101) which Guarantor may have against Borrowers arising from a payment made by Guarantor under this Guaranty and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any subrogation rights of Guarantor or any right of Guarantor to proceed against Borrowers for reimbursement. It is expressly understood that the waivers and agreements of Guarantor constitute additional and cumulative benefits given to Lender for its security and as an inducement for its extension of credit to Borrowers.
4. Liability Unimpaired. Guarantors liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and each Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment, extension or modification of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents or any other instrument made to or with Lender by Borrowers or any other Guarantor, or any Person who succeeds Borrowers as owner of all or part of the Property prior to foreclosure of the Loan and Security Agreement or exercise of any power of sale contained therein. In addition, each Guarantors liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of said documents, (ii) any sale, assignment or foreclosure
2
of the Notes or Loan and Security Agreement or any sale or transfer of all or part of the property covered by the Loan and Security Agreement, (iii) any exculpatory provision in any of said instruments limiting Lenders recourse to the Property or to any other security, or limiting Lenders rights to a deficiency judgment against Borrowers, (iv) the release of Borrowers or any other person (including, without limit, any other Guarantor) from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of said instruments by operation of law or otherwise, (v) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Loan, (vi) Lenders failure to record the Loan and Security Agreement or file any UCC financing statements (or Lenders improper recording or filing of any thereof) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security for the Loan, (vii) the invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any of the Loan Documents, this Guaranty or any other instrument or agreement executed or delivered to Lender in connection with the Loan, except to the extent that there is a final adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction of a valid defense to Borrowers s obligations under the Loan Documents to payment of the Indebtedness, (viii) the inaccuracy of any of the representations and warranties made by Borrowers in the Loan and Security Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any disbursement certificates or requests for disbursements made under the Loan Agreement, or (ix) any other action or circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, a legal or equitable discharge or defense (except full payment and satisfaction) of Borrowers for its obligations under any of the Loan Documents or of any Guarantor under this Guaranty; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to each Guarantor and with or without consideration.
5. Preservation of Loan Documents. Guarantor will cause Borrowers to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the Loan Documents as the same may be modified and will not permit Borrowers to take or to fail to take actions of any kind, the taking of which or the failure to take which might be the basis for a claim that a Guarantor has a defense to a Guarantors obligations hereunder.
6. Security; Events of Default. Pursuant to the terms of a Guarantor Security Agreement of even date herewith, as security for any and all of the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty, now existing or hereafter arising hereunder or otherwise (collectively, the Liabilities), each Guarantor hereby grants to the Lender a lien upon and a security interest in any and all moneys or other property (i.e., goods and merchandise, as well as any and all documents relative thereto; funds, securities, chooses in action and any and all other forms of property whether real, personal or mixed, and any right, title or interest of each Guarantor therein or thereto), and the proceeds thereof, which have been, or may hereafter be, deposited or delivered to the Lender (or with any third party acting on the Lenders behalf) by or for the account or credit of the Guarantor whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, deposit, transmission, collection or otherwise and a lien upon and a security interest in all of its other assets pursuant to a security agreement of even date herewith.

In addition, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender shall have all of the rights and remedies provided to a secured party by the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in New York State at that time. Guarantor agrees that in the event that notice is necessary, written notice provided in accordance with paragraph 26 of this Guaranty and given below five Business Days prior to the date of public sale of the property subject to the lien and security interest created herein or prior to the date after which private sale or any other disposition of said property will be made shall constitute reasonable notice.

Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) incurred by or on behalf of Lender in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall constitute costs of enforcement, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to paragraph 2 above and covered by Guarantors indemnity pursuant to paragraph 7 above.
