This Guaranty is an absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and not of collectibility. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is not conditional or contingent upon the genuineness, validity, sufficiency or enforceability of the Indebtedness or any instruments, agreements or chattel paper related thereto (collectively called Agreements) or any security or collateral therefor (collectively called Security) or the pursuit by Equify Financial, LLC of any rights or remedies which it now has or may hereafter have. If the Maker fails to pay the Indebtedness promptly as the same becomes due, or otherwise fails to perform any obligation under any of the Agreements, each Guarantor agrees to pay on demand the entire Indebtedness and all losses, costs, attorneys fees and expenses which may be suffered by Equify Financial, LLC by reason of the Makers default or the default of any Guarantor hereunder, and agrees to be bound by and to pay on demand any deficiency established by the sale of any of the Agreements or Security, all without relief from valuation and appraisement laws and without requiring Equify Financial, LLC to (i) proceed against the Maker by suit or otherwise, (ii) foreclose, proceed against, liquidate or exhaust any of remedies pursuant to the Agreements or Security, or (iii) exercise, pursue or enforce any right or remedy Equify Financial, LLC may have against the Maker, any co Guarantor (whether hereunder or under a separate instrument) or any other party. Each Guarantor agrees that: this Guaranty shall not be discharged or affected by any circumstances which constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a Guarantor or surety, or by the death of any Guarantor; the records of Equify Financial, LLC shall be received as conclusive evidence of the amount of the Indebtedness at any time owing absent manifest error; one or more successive or concurrent suits may be brought and maintained against any or all of the Guarantors, at the option of Equify Financial, LLC, with or without joinder of the Maker or any of the other Guarantors as parties thereto; such Guarantor will not avail itself of any defense whatsoever which the Maker may have against Equify Financial, LLC, other than full payment of the Indebtedness; and such Guarantor will not seek a change of venue from any jurisdiction or court in which any action, proceeding or litigation is commenced.
EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES NOTICE OF ANY ADVERSE CHANGE IN THE MAKER S CONDITION OR OF ANY OTHER FACT WHICH MIGHT MATERIALLY INCREASE SUCH GUARANTORS RISK, WHETHER OR NOT EQUIFY FINANCIAL, LLC HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE SAME. UNTIL THE INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL, EACH GUARANTOR ALSO HEREBY AGREES THAT SUCH GUARANTOR WILL NOT ASSERT, ENFORCE OR OTHERWISE EXERCISE ANY CLAIM, RIGHT OR REMEDY WHICH SUCH GUARANTOR MAY NOW HAVE OR HEREAFTER ACQUIRE AGAINST THE MAKER THAT ARISES HEREUNDER AND/OR FROM THE PERFORMANCE BY ANY GUARANTOR HEREUNDER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM, REMEDY OR RIGHT OF SUBROGATION, REIMBURSEMENT, EXONERATION, CONTRIBUTION, INDEMNIFICATION, OR PARTICIPATION IN ANY CLAIM, RIGHT OR REMEDY OF EQUIFY FINANCIAL, LLC AGAINST THE MAKER OR ANY SECURITY WHICH EQUIFY FINANCIAL, LLC NOW HAS OR HEREAFTER ACQUIRES WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CLAIM, RIGHT OR REMEDY ARISES IN EQUITY, UNDER CONTRACT, BY STATUTE, UNDER COMMON LAW OR OTHERWISE.
No termination hereof shall be effective until the Guarantors deliver to Equify Financial, LLC a written notice signed by them electing not to guarantee any new extension of credit that may be granted by Equify Financial, LLC to the Maker after its receipt of such notice, but such notice shall not affect the obligations of the guarantors hereunder as to any and all Indebtedness existing at the time such notice is received. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) notice of acceptance hereof and notice of extensions of credit given by Equify Financial, LLC to the Maker from time to time; (ii) presentment, demand, protest, and notice of non-payment or protest as to any note or other evidence of indebtedness signed, accepted, endorsed or assigned to Equify Financial, LLC by the Maker; (iii) all exemptions and homestead laws; (iv) any other demands and notices required by law; and (v) any right to trial by jury. Equify Financial, LLC may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or the consent of any Guarantor, and without affecting or impairing the obligation of any Guarantor hereunder (a) renew, extend or refinance any part or all of the Indebtedness of the Maker or any Indebtedness of its customers, or of any co Guarantor (whether hereunder or under a separate instrument) or any other party; (b) accept partial payments of the Indebtedness and apply such payments to any part of the Indebtedness; (c) settle, release (by operation of law or otherwise), compound, compromise, collect or liquidate, in any manner, any of the Indebtedness, any Security, or any Indebtedness of any co-Guarantor (whether hereunder or under a separate instrument) or any other party; (d) consent to the transfer of any Security; (e) bid and purchase at any sale of any of the Agreements or Security; and (f) exercise any and all rights and remedies available to Equify Financial, LLC by law or agreement even if the exercise thereof may affect, modify or eliminate any rights or remedies which a Guarantor may have against the Maker. Each Guarantor shall continue to be liable under this Guaranty, the provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect, and Equify Financial, LLC shall not be stopped from exercising any rights hereunder, notwithstanding (i) Equify Financial, LLC waiver of or failure to enforce any of the terms, covenants or conditions contained in any of the Agreements; (ii) any release of, or failure on the part of Equify Financial, LLC to perfect any security interest in or foreclose, proceed against, or exhaust, any Security; or (iii) Equify Financial, LLCs failure to take new, additional or substitute security or collateral for the Indebtedness.
