1. PROMISE TO PAY. On or before August 12, 2015 (the Maturity Date), the undersigned, Robertson Research Institute, a Colorado corporation located at 4215 Fashion Square Boulevard, Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan 48603 and Robertson Health Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation located at 4215 Fashion Square Boulevard, Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan 48603 (collectively and jointly and severally, Borrower) for value received, hereby promises to pay to the order of Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 102 W. Front St., Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, Michigan 49684 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (together with its successors and assigns, the Lender) the sum of Two Hundred Forty One Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Six and 00/100 Dollars ($241,666.00) (the Borrowing), plus interest as provided herein, fess such amounts as shall have been repaid in accordance with this Note. The outstanding balance of this Note shall appear on a supplemental bank record and is not necessarily the face amount of this Note, which record shall evidence the balance due pursuant to this Note at any time.
Principal and interest payments shall be made at Lenders address above unless otherwise designated by Lender in writing. Each payment hereunder may be applied in the following order: accrued interest, principal, fees, charges and advanced costs.
Principal shall be due and payable in 59 installments, each in the amount of $4,167.00 on the 12th day of each calendar month beginning on September 12, 2010; provided that the entire principal balance, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and any other charges, advances and fees, if any, outstanding hereunder shall be due and payable in full on the earlier of the Maturity Date or upon acceleration of the Note.
The principal sum outstanding shall bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to 1% in excess of the rate of interest per annum established from time to time by Fifth Third Bank at its principal office as its Prime Rate, whether or not Fifth Third Bank shall at times lend to borrowers at lower rates of interest or, if there is no such prime rate, then such other rate as may be substituted by Fifth Third Bank for the prime rate (the Interest Rate). In the event of a change in said Prime Rate, the Interest Rate shall be changed immediately to 1% in excess of such new Prime Rate. Interest shall be calculated based on a 360-day year and charged for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable on the 12th day of each calendar month beginning on September 12, 2010.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, in no event shall the interest rate charged on the Borrowing exceed the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable state and/or federal usury law. Any payment of interest that would be deemed unlawful under applicable law for any reason shall be deemed received on account of, and will automatically be applied to reduce, the principal sum outstanding and any other sums (other than interest) due and payable to Lender under this Note, and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for the highest rate of interest permitted under applicable law.
2. USE OF PROCEEDS. Borrower certifies that the proceeds of this loan are to be used for business purposes.
3. NOTE PROCESSING FEE. Lender may charge, and Borrower agrees to pay on the above Effective Date, a note processing fee in the amount of $200.00.

THIS CONTINUING GUARANTY AGREEMENT (the Guaranty) made as of August 12, 2010 by and between Joel Robertson, an individual residing at 3555 Pierce Road, Saginaw, Saginaw County, Michigan 48604 (the Guarantor) and Fifth Third Bank, an Ohio banking corporation located at 102 W. Front St., Traverse City, Grand Traverse County, Michigan 49684 for itself and as agent for any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp (Beneficiary).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Beneficiary has agreed to extend credit and financial accommodations to Robertson Research Institute, a Colorado corporation and Robertson Health Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation (collectively and jointly and severally, Borrower), pursuant to the Term Note, dated August 12, 2010, executed by Borrower and made payable to the order of Beneficiary (the Note), and all agreements, instruments and documents executed or delivered in connection with the foregoing or otherwise related thereto (together with any amendments, modifications, or restatements thereof, the Loan Documents); and
WHEREAS, Guarantor is affiliated with Borrower and, as such, shall be benefited directly by the transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, and shall execute this Guaranty in order to induce Beneficiary to enter into such transaction.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby guarantees, promises and undertakes as follows:
1. GUARANTY.
(a) Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to Beneficiary the full and prompt payment and performance when due (whether at maturity by acceleration or otherwise) of any and all loans, advances, indebtedness and each and every other obligation or liability of Borrower owed to Beneficiary and any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp, however created, of every kind and description, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct or indirect, primary or as guarantor or surety, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, liquidated or unliquidated, matured or unmatured, participated in whole or in part, created by trust agreement, lease, overdraft, agreement, or otherwise, whether or not secured by additional collateral, whether originated with Beneficiary or owed to others and acquired by Beneficiary by purchase, assignment or otherwise, and including, without limitation, all loans, advances, indebtedness and each and every other obligation or liability arising under the Loan Documents, letters of credit now or hereafter issued by Beneficiary or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp for the benefit of or at the request of Borrower, all obligations to perform or forbear from performing acts, any and all Rate Management Obligations (as defined in the Loan Documents), and all agreements, instruments and documents evidencing, guarantying, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the foregoing, together with any amendments, modifications, and restatements thereof, and all expenses and attorneys fees incurred or other sums disbursed by Beneficiary or any affiliate of Fifth Third Bancorp under this Guaranty or any other document, instrument or agreement related to any of the foregoing (collectively, the Obligations), regardless of any defense, right of set-off or claims which Borrower or Guarantor may have against Beneficiary.
75291-8-1-0.CW Version # 3 N-2 |
(b) This Guaranty is an absolute, present and continuing guaranty of payment, and not merely of collection, that shall remain in full force and effect until expressly terminated in writing by Beneficiary, notwithstanding the fact that no Obligations may be outstanding from time to time. Such termination by Beneficiary shall be applicable only to transactions having their inception after the effective date thereof, and shall not affect the enforceability of this Guaranty with regard to any Obligations arising out of transactions having their inception prior to such effective date, even if such Obligations shall have been modified, renewed, compromised, extended, otherwise amended or performed by Beneficiary subsequent to such termination. In the absence of any termination of this Guaranty as provided above, Guarantor agrees that Guarantors obligations hereunder shall not be deemed discharged or satisfied until the Obligations are fully paid and performed, and no such payments or performance with regard to the Obligations is subject to any right on the part of any person whomsoever, including but not limited to any trustee in bankruptcy, to recover any of such payments. If any such payments are so set aside or settled without litigation, all of which is within Beneficiarys discretion, Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount Beneficiary is required to repay, plus costs, interest, reasonable attorneys fees and any and all expenses that Beneficiary paid or incurred in connection therewith. A successor of Borrower, including Borrower in its capacity as debtor in a bankruptcy reorganization case, shall not be considered to be a different person than Borrower; and this Guaranty shall apply to all Obligations incurred by such successor.
(c) Guarantor agrees that Guarantor is directly and primarily liable to Beneficiary and that the Obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of Borrower, or of any other guarantor. The liability of Guarantor hereunder shall survive discharge or compromise of any Obligation of Borrower in bankruptcy or otherwise. Beneficiary shall not be required to prosecute or seek to enforce any remedies against Borrower or any other party liable to Beneficiary on account of the Obligations, or to seek to enforce or resort to any remedies with respect to any collateral granted to Beneficiary by Borrower or any other party on account of the Obligations, as a condition to payment or performance by Guarantor under this Guaranty.
(d) Beneficiary may, without notice or demand and without affecting its rights hereunder, from time to time: (i) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the amount of, the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, any or all of the Obligations, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) take and hold collateral for the payment of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, and exchange, enforce, waive, and release any such collateral, and apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Beneficiary in its discretion may determine. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby waives notice of any and all of the foregoing.
(e) Guarantor hereby waives all defenses, counterclaims and off-sets of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that may arise: (i) directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of validity, binding effect or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any other document or instrument evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the Obligations, (ii) from Beneficiarys impairment of any collateral, including the failure to record or perfect the Beneficiarys interest in the collateral, or (iii) by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by Beneficiary in the event such election may, in any manner, impair, affect, reduce, release, destroy or extinguish any right of contribution or reimbursement of Guarantor, or any other rights of the Guarantor to proceed against any other guarantor, or against any other person or any collateral.
(f) Guarantor hereby waives all presentments, demands for performance or payment, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of default or nonpayment, notice of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Obligations, and all other notices or formalities to which Guarantor may be entitled, and Guarantor hereby waives all suretyship defenses, including but not limited to all defenses set forth in the Uniform Commercial Code, as revised from time to time (the UCC) to the full extent such a waiver is permitted thereby.
(g) Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all legal and equitable rights to recover from Borrower any sums paid by the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty, including without limitation all rights of subrogation and all other rights that would result in Guarantor being deemed a creditor of Borrower under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any other law, and Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert in any manner against Beneficiary any claim, defense, counterclaim and offset of any kind or nature, whether legal or equitable, that Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to Beneficiary.

(d) The default by Guarantor under the terms of any indebtedness of Guarantor now or hereafter existing, which default has not been cured within any time period permitted pursuant to the terms and conditions of such indebtedness or the occurrence of an event which gives any creditor the right to accelerate the maturity of any such indebtedness.
(e) The commencement by Guarantor of a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect; or the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of Guarantor in a case under any such law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of Guarantor or for any substantial part of Guarantors property, or ordering the wind-up or liquidation of Guarantors affairs; or the filing and pendency for 30 days without dismissal of a petition initiating an involuntary case under any such bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law; or the making by Guarantor of any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the failure of Guarantor generally to pay Guarantors debts as such debts become due; or the taking of action by Guarantor in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

(b) If Beneficiary should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the enforcement of this Guaranty, Guarantor, on demand therefor, shall reimburse the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses to the extent permitted by law.
(c) No remedy set forth herein is exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each is cumulative and in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission on the part of Beneficiary to exercise any right or remedy shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient thereby, and a waiver on any one occasion shall be limited to that particular occasion.
5. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER. Guarantor is presently informed of the financial condition of Borrower and of all other circumstances that a diligent inquiry would reveal and which would bear upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Obligations.
