Guarantee
TO: (the “Creditor”) The undersigned (the “Guarantor”) hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees payment and performance of all debts and obligations owing by (the “Obligor”) to the Creditor or remaining unpaid by the Obligor to the Creditor under (collectively the “Obligations”). The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Obligations or any change in the time, manner or place of payment of or in any other term of the Obligations; (ii) any impossibility, impracticability, frustration of purpose, illegality, force majeure or act of government; (iii) the bankruptcy, or insolvency of the Obligor or the Creditor; (iv) any lack or limitation of power, incapacity or disability on the part of the Obligor or any other irregularity, defect or informality on the part of the Obligor in its Obligations; or (v) any other law, regulation or other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Obligor in respect of any or all of the Obligations. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged, limited or in any way affected by anything done, suffered or permitted by the Creditor in connection with any duties or liabilities of the Obligor to the Creditor or any security therefor including any loss of or in respect of any security received by the Creditor from the Obligor or others. The Creditor, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the Guarantor’s liability hereunder, may (i) grant time, renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases and discharges to the Obligor; (ii) take or abstain from taking securities or collateral from the Obligor or from perfecting securities or collateral of the Obligor; (iii) accept compromises from the Obligor; (iv) apply all money at any time received from the Obligor or from securities upon such part of the Obligations as the Creditor may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Creditor may see fit; and (v) otherwise deal with the Obligor and all other persons and securities as the Creditor may see fit. The Creditor shall not be bound or obligated to exhaust its recourse against the Obligor or other persons or any securities or collateral it may hold or take any other action (other than to make demand pursuant to Section 6 below) before being entitled to demand payment from the Guarantor hereunder. The Guarantor shall not claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Obligor in respect of any liability of the Obligor to the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall make payment to or performance in favor of the Creditor of the Obligations of the Guarantor forthwith after demand therefor is made to the Guarantor.

Page 2 The Creditor shall be entitled to make demand upon the Guarantor at any time upon a default in payment of any amount owing by the Obligor to the Creditor and upon such default the Creditor may treat all Obligations as due and payable and may forthwith collect from the Guarantor the total amount guaranteed hereunder. 7. 8. The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this instrument.

The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law. If any provision of this Guarantee is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision and all other provisions hereof shall continue in full force and effect. The rights of the Creditor under this Guarantee may be assigned by the Creditor without the prior consent of the Obligor or the Guarantor. The Guarantor may not assign its obligations under this Guarantee.
