WITNESSETH:
Lender has entered into an Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement of even date herewith (the "Securities Purchase Agreement") with Compliance Systems Corporation, a Nevada corporation ("Parent"), pursuant to which Parent shall issue to Lender a Secured Convertible Debenture in the principal amount of $1,765,000 (as modified, amended and/or restated from time to time the "Debenture").
NOW, THEREFORE, in order to induce Lender to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Securities Purchase Agreement with Parent and to acquire the Debenture thereunder and as a condition thereto, Guarantors hereby agree as follows:
1. Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably, jointly and severally, guarantee to Lender the due and punctual payment in full of all obligations of Parent under the Debenture and the other documents executed in connection therewith as a primary obligor and not a surety. The obligations and liabilities of Parent under the Debenture and the other documents executed in connection therewith are collectively referred to as the "Obligations." This Guaranty is secured by a Guarantor Security Agreement by each Guarantor in favor of Lender of even date herewith.
2. This Guaranty is irrevocable, continuing, indivisible and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of, and shall not be discharged, terminated, impaired or modified in any manner by reason of (a) any amendment, modification, extension or renewal of the Debenture; (b) the assertion or exercise by Lender, or the failure of Lender to assert or exercise, against Parent any of Lender’s rights under or interest in the Debenture or any other security instruments entered into in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement; (c) the existence or continuance, or discontinuance, of Parent as a legal entity; (d) the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or reorganization of Parent, or the making by Parent of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (e) the acceptance, alteration, release or substitution by Lender of any security for the Obligations, whether provided by Parent, Guarantor or any other person. This Guaranty is and shall be a direct and primary obligation of each Guarantor, and may be enforced by the Lender without prior resort to Parent or the exhaustion of any rights or remedies that Lender may have against Parent.
3. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives the following: (a) acceptance and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender; (b) notice of extension of time of the payment, performance and compliance with, or the renewal or alteration of the terms and conditions of, any Obligations; (c) notice of any demand for payment, notice of default or nonpayment as to any Obligations; and (d) all other notices to which such Guarantor might otherwise be entitled in connection with the Guaranty or the Obligations.

6. This Guaranty may not be changed or terminated orally. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty shall be effective unless such modification or waiver shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and the same shall then be effective only for the period and on the conditions and for the specific instances and purposes specified in such writing.
