AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

     2.1 Commitments.

     (a) The Bank agrees, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, to make loans (each, a “Revolving Loan,” and collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower, from time to time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided that, immediately after each Revolving Loan is made, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans by the Bank shall not exceed the lesser of (x) $5,000,000 (as such figure may be reduced from time to time as provided in this Agreement, the “Revolving Credit Commitment”) and (y) the Threshold Amount. So long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and subject to the limits set forth in this Section 2.1(a), the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.1(a), repay or prepay Revolving Loans and reborrow under this Section 2.1(a) at any time before the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

     (b) Subject to the Bank’s right to cease making Revolving Loans upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, the Revolving Credit Commitment and the Bank’s obligation to make Revolving Loans thereunder shall continue until the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

     2.2 Note. The Revolving Loans made by the Bank shall be evidenced by a single Revolving Note payable to the order of the Bank for the account of its Lending Office in an

amount equal to the original principal amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment. The Borrower and the Bank hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement shall be incorporated by reference into the Note as if set forth therein and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Note, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

     2.3 Principal Payments; Maturity of Loans.

     (a) The Borrower shall repay the Revolving Note:

     (i) In full, on the Revolving Credit Termination Date;

     (ii) In full, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations by the Bank pursuant to Article VIII hereof; and

     (iii) In part, immediately in the event that the total principal amount outstanding at any time under the Revolving Note exceeds the lesser of (x) the Revolving Credit Commitment or (y) the Threshold Amount, in the amount of such excess.

     2.4 Interest.

     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Loan shall bear, and the Borrower shall pay, interest from the Closing Date on the unpaid principal balance thereof at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

     (b) For purposes of calculating the Adjusted LIBOR Rate, “Applicable Margin” shall mean, in respect of each Loan, (i) for the period commencing on the Closing Date to and including the first Performance Pricing Determination Date, 1.75%, and (ii) from and after the first Performance Pricing Determination Date, the percentage determined on each Performance Pricing Determination Date by reference to the table set forth below as to the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the quarterly or annual period ending immediately prior to such Performance Pricing Determination Date.

Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio		Applicable Margin
Greater than 2.25 to 1.0, but less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0			2.75	%
Greater than or equal to 1.75 to 1.0, but less than or equal to 2.25 to 1.0			2.25	%
Less than 1.75 to 1.0			1.75	%

In determining interest for purposes of this Section 2.4, the Borrower and the Bank shall refer to the Borrower’s most recent consolidated quarterly and annual (as the case may be) financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), as the case may be. If such financial statements require a change in interest pursuant to this Section 2.4, the Borrower shall deliver to

the Bank, along with such financial statements, a notice to that effect, which notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the calculations supporting the required change. The “Performance Pricing Determination Date” is each of the dates which is 45 days after the end of each of the first three Fiscal Quarters in any Fiscal Year and 120 days after the end of each Fiscal Year. Any such required change in interest and fees shall become effective on such Performance Pricing Determination Date, and shall be in effect until the next Performance Pricing Determination Date, provided that no interest shall be decreased pursuant to this Section 2.4 if a Default is in existence on the Performance Pricing Determination Date.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, (i) if at any time the Borrowers shall have failed to deliver the financial statements as required by Section 5.1(a) or 5.1(b), as the case may be, and the certificate required by Section 5.1(c), or if at any time a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then at the election of the Bank, at all times from and including the date on which such financial statements and certificate are required to have been delivered (or the date of occurrence of such Default or Event of Default, as the case may be) to the date on which the same shall have been delivered (or such Default or Event of Default cured or waived, as the case may be), the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Borrower was greater than 2.25 to 1.0, but less than or equal to 3.0 to 1.0 (notwithstanding the actual Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Borrower), and (ii) from the Closing Date until the Performance Pricing Determination Date for the Fiscal Quarter ending March 31, 2006, the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio for the Borrower was less than 1.75 to 1.0 (notwithstanding the actual Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio).

     (c) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest on the outstanding principal balance of each Loan shall be due and payable (i) in arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar month, beginning with the first such day to occur after the Closing Date and (ii) on each date when all or any amount of the unpaid principal balance of each such Loan shall be due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), but only to the extent accrued.

     (d) Interest on the Loans and fees shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed.

     (e) Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Note shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of interest to the Bank at a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted by governing law. In the event that the rate of interest required to be paid under this Agreement or the Note exceeds the maximum rate permitted by governing law, the rate of interest required to be paid hereunder and under the Note shall be automatically reduced to the maximum rate permitted by governing law and any amounts collected in excess of the permissible amount shall be deemed a prepayment of principal on the Note.

     (f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, upon and during the continuance of any Event of Default under this Agreement, at the option of the Bank without any required notice to the Borrower, the outstanding principal amount of each of the Loans, and to the full extent permitted by law, all interest accrued on each of the Loans, shall bear interest at the Default Rate, and such default interest shall be payable on demand.

     2.5 Fees.

     (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank a Revolving Credit Commitment fee, in an aggregate amount equal to $5,000.00, due and payable in full on the Closing Date.

     (b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Bank an availability fee on the last Business Day of each calendar year and on the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a per annum rate of 0.125% of the excess of $3,500,000 over the average daily outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans for such calendar year or portion thereof. Such facility fees shall accrue from and including the Closing Date to (but excluding) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

     2.6 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Business Days’ written notice to the Bank, terminate at any time, or proportionately reduce the unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitment from time to time by an aggregate amount of at least $500,000 or any larger integral multiple of $100,000. If the Revolving Credit Commitment is terminated in its entirety, all accrued fees (as provided under Section 2.5) shall be due and payable on the effective date of such termination.

     2.7 General Provisions as to Payments. All payments (including prepayments) by the Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees on the Loan shall be made in immediately available funds to the Bank at its offices at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇^▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, prior to 2:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on the date payment is due, or at such other place as is designated in writing by the Bank.

     2.8 Disbursement of Loan Proceeds. The Borrower hereby authorizes and directs the Bank to disburse, for and on behalf of the Borrower and for the Borrower’s account, the proceeds of the Loans made by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement (i) to such Person or Persons as the Borrower shall direct in a writing signed by two individuals named as authorized individuals by the Borrower and delivered to the Bank via facsimile; (ii) to pay the Bank any interest, fees, costs and expenses payable pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof, and (iii) to the Borrower’s depository accounts with the Bank in an amount equal to the sum necessary to cover checks or other items of payment drawn by the Borrower upon such accounts and presented for payment.

     2.9 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans shall be used by the Borrower solely (i) to refinance the Terminating Indebtedness; (ii) to provide working capital for the Borrower; (iii) to finance future acquisitions; and (iv) to pay fees and expenses in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

     2.10 Taxes. All payments of principal, interest and fees and all other amounts to be made by the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Loans or fees relating thereto shall be paid without deduction for, and free from, any tax, imposts, levies, duties, deductions, or withholdings of any nature now or at any time hereafter imposed on or measured by any governmental authority or by any taxing authority thereof, or therein, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured by the Bank’s net income, (ii) franchise taxes imposed on the Bank by the jurisdiction under the laws of which the Bank is organized or any political subdivision thereof, and (iii) taxes imposed on the Bank’s income, and franchise taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of the Bank’s Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof. In the event that

the Borrower is required by applicable law to make any such withholding or deduction of taxes with respect to the Loans or fee or other amount, the Borrower shall pay such deduction or withholding to the applicable taxing authority, shall promptly furnish to the Bank all receipts and other additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the amount received by the Bank after the required withholding or other payment shall equal the amount the Bank would have received had no such withholding or other payment been made.

     2.11 Illegality. If, after the date hereof, any Change of Law, or any change in interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, or compliance by the Bank (or its Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank (or its Lending Office) to make, maintain or fund Loans, then the Bank shall so notify the Borrower, whereupon until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Bank to fund Loans shall be suspended. Before giving any notice to the Borrower pursuant to this Section, the Bank shall designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of the Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to the Bank. If the Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice, the Borrower shall prepay in full the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with accrued interest thereon, no later than thirty (30) days after the Bank shall have given such notice.

     (a) Upon demand of any party hereto, whether made before or after institution of any judicial proceeding, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of, connected with or relating to this Agreement or any other Credit Document (“Disputes”) between the Borrower and the Bank shall be resolved by binding arbitration as provided herein. Institution of a judicial proceeding by a party does not waive the right of that party to demand arbitration hereunder. Disputes may include, without limitation, tort claims, counterclaims, claims brought as class actions, claims arising from documents executed in the future, disputes as to whether a matter is subject to arbitration, or claims arising out of or connected with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. Arbitration shall be conducted under and

governed by the Commercial Financial Disputes Arbitration Rules (the “Arbitration Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), as in effect from time to time, and the Federal Arbitration Act, Title 9 of the U.S. Code, as amended. All arbitration hearings shall be conducted in the city in which the principal demand for arbitration and all hearings shall be concluded within 120 days of demand for arbitration. These time limitations may not be extended unless a party shows cause for extension and then for no more than a total of sixty (60) days. The expedited procedures set forth in Rule 51 et seq. of the Arbitration Rules shall be applicable to claims of less than $1,000,000. All applicable statutes of limitation shall apply to any Dispute. A judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The panel from which all arbitrators are selected shall be comprised of licensed attorneys selected from the Commercial Financial Dispute Arbitration panel of the AAA. The single arbitrator selected for expedited procedure shall be a retired judge from the highest court of general jurisdiction, state or federal, of the state where the hearing will be conducted. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this arbitration provision does not apply to Disputes under or related to any Hedge Agreement. The parties do not waive applicable federal or state substantive law except a s provided herein.

     (b) Notwithstanding the preceding binding arbitration provisions, the parties hereto agree to preserve, without diminution, certain remedies that any party hereto may employ or exercise freely, either alone, in conjunction with or during a Dispute. Any party hereto shall have the right to proceed in any court of proper jurisdiction or by self-help to exercise or prosecute the following remedies, as applicable: (i) all rights to foreclose against any Collateral by exercising a power of sale granted pursuant to any of the Credit Documents or under applicable law or by judicial foreclosure and sale, including a proceeding to confirm the sale ; (ii) all rights of self-help, including peaceful occupation of real property and collection of rents, set-off, and peaceful possession of personal property; (iii) obtaining provisional or ancillary remedies, including injunctive relief, sequestration, garnishment, attachment, appointment of a receiver and filing an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding ; and (iv) when applicable, a judgment by confession of judgment. Any claim or controversy with regard to any party’s entitlement to such remedies is a Dispute. Preservation of these remedies does not limit the power of a n arbitrator to grant similar remedies that may be requested by a party in a Dispute. The parties hereto agree that no party shall have a remedy of punitive or exemplary damages against any other party in any Dispute, and each party hereby waives any right or claim to punitive or exemplary damages that it has now or that may arise in the future in connection with any Dispute, whether such Dispute is resolved by arbitration or judicially. The parties acknowledge that by agreeing to binding arbitration they have irrevocably waived any right they may have to a jury trial with regard to a Dispute. The Borrower agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expense s of counsel to the Bank in connection with any Dispute subject to arbitration as provided herein.

     9.4 Waiver of Automatic or Supplemental Stay. In the event that a petition for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against the Borrower, the Borrower promises and covenants that it will not seek a supplemental stay pursuant to Bankruptcy Code §§ 105 or 362 or any other relief pursuant to Bankruptcy Code § 105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, whether injunctive or otherwise, which would stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the Bank’s ability to enforce any rights it has, at law or in equity, to collect the Obligations from any Person other than the Borrower.

     THIS GUARANTY, dated as of November 14, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”), is made by each of the undersigned Subsidiaries of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Nevada corporation (the “Borrower”), and each other Subsidiary of the Borrower that, after the date hereof, executes an instrument of accession hereto substantially in the form of Exhibit A (a “Guarantor Accession”; the undersigned and such other Subsidiaries of the Borrower, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), in favor of the Bank. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Credit Agreement referred to below.

BACKGROUND STATEMENT

     A. The Borrower and the Bank are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of eve n date herewith (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), providing for the availability of a $5,000,000 revolving credit facility (the “Loan” ) to the Borrower upon the terms and conditions set forth therein.

     B. As a condition to making the Loan to the Borrower, each Subsidiary Guarantor has agreed, by executing and delivering this Guaranty, to guarantee to the Lender the payment i n full of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined). The Bank is relying on this Guaranty in its decision to make the Loan to the Borrower, and would not enter into the Credit Agreement without this Guaranty.

     C. Each Subsidiary Guarantor will obtain benefits as a result of the Loan, which benefits are hereby acknowledged, and, accordingly, desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty.

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Subsidiary Guarantor does hereby covenant and agree with the Bank as follows:

     1. Guaranty.

     (a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to the Bank, the full and prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of (i)(A) the Loan by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement an d pursuant to the Note and the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all principal of and interest on the Loan, all fees, expenses, indemnities and other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (including interest accruing after the filing of a petition or commencement of a case by or with respect to the Borrower seeking relief under any applicable federal and state laws pertaining to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, readjustment of debts, dissolution, liquidation or other

debtor relief, specifically including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code and any fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws, whether or not the claim for such interest is allowed in such proceeding), and (B) all obligations of the Borrower to the Bank under any swap agreements (as defined in 11 U .S .C. § 101, as in effect from time to time), and (ii) all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses ) incurred or paid by the Bank in connection with any suit, action or proceeding to enforce or protect any of its rights hereunder (collectively, “Guaranteed Obligations”).

     (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above and notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein or in any other Credit Document:

     (i) no provision of this Guaranty shall require or permit the collection from any Subsidiary Guarantor of interest in excess of the maximum rate or amount that such Subsidiary Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay pursuant to applicable law; and

     (ii) the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty as of any date shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount (the “Maximum Guaranteed Amount”) equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty subject to avoidance, discharge or reduction as of such date as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under applicable federal and state laws pertaining to bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, readjustment of debts, dissolution, liquidation or other debtor relief, specifically including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code and any fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws (collectively, “Insolvency Laws”), in each instance after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under applicable Insolvency Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under applicable Insolvency Laws) of any rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to (y) applicable law or (z) any agreement (including this Guaranty) providing for an equitable allocation among such Subsidiary Guarantor and other Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under guaranties by such parties).

     (c) The Subsidiary Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair an d equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty . Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made hereunder on any date by a Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share (as hereinafter defined) as of such date, that Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Subsidiary Guarantors in the amount of such other Subsidiary Guarantor’s Fair Share Shortfall (as hereinafter defined) as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments (as hereinafter defined) to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as hereinafter defined) with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Guarantee d Amounts with respect to all Subsidiary Guarantors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid

or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors hereunder in respect of the obligations guarantied . “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor a s of any date of determination, the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Subsidiary Guarantor over the Aggregate Payments of such Subsidiary Guarantor. “Adjusted Maximum Guaranteed Amount” means, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination, the Maximum Guaranteed Amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor, determined in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) above; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor for purposes of this subsection (c), any assets or liabilities arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this subsection (c)). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Funding Guarantor’s right of contribution under this subsection (c ) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6. The allocation among Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this subsection (c) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder to the Bank.

     (d) The guaranty of each Subsidiary Guarantor set forth in this Section is a guaranty of payment as a primary obligor, and not a guaranty of collection. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations, at any time and from time to time, may exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount of such Subsidiary Guarantor and ma y exceed the aggregate of the Maximum Guaranteed Amounts of all Subsidiary Guarantors, in each case without discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder or the rights, powers and remedies of the Bank hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

     2. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall arise absolutely and unconditionally when the Loan has been made by the Bank to the Borrower. This Guaranty shall be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full and the period during which any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Bank could be recovered as an avoidable preference under 11 U.S.C. § 547, or any successor provision thereof, has expired. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that to the extent all or part of any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then, to the extent of such repayment, this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived and reinstated, as the case may be, as to the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied, as if such payment had not been received.

     3. Absolute and Primary Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be discharged, released, limited, deferred, reduced or otherwise affected to any extent by reason of any of the following, whether or not such

Subsidiary Guarantor has notice or knowledge thereof: (a) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Credit Documents; (b) any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation or insolvency of, or dissolution, termination, reorganization or other change in the structure or existence of, the Borrower, whether or not resulting in a discharge, reduction or restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (c) the application of any statute, regulation, order, rule, decree or other determination of any court or other governmental authority, the effect of which is to extend the term or time for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.

     4. Releases, Extensions, Modifications, etc. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Bank may at any time and from time to time, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part: (a) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time for payment of, or renew, accelerate or otherwise alter, the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) sell, exchange, release, substitute, compromise, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order, or fail to create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain any lien s in, any collateral or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) make or permit any amendment, modification or supplement to or restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or departure from, any provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) of the Credit Documents; and (e) exercise or refrain from exercising (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result of court order, operation of law or otherwise) any rights and remedies available under the Credit Documents, including, without limitation, foreclosing on any security held by the Bank in any order and by any manner of sale permitted under the Credit Documents and applicable law, whether or not every aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable. The Bank may act or fail to act in the foregoing manner without notice to or further assent by the Subsidiary Guarantors, whose obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, released, limited, deferred, reduced or otherwise affected in any manner or to any extent by reason of any of the foregoing, notwithstanding that any such action or failure to act may impair or extinguish any right of indemnification, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of each Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower or any collateral or other security for the Guaranteed Obligations.

     5. Waiver of Certain Rights; Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waives all presentments, demands for payment, demand s for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation, notices of nonpayment or other nonperformance, protest, dishonor, acceptance hereof, and of any of the matters referred to in Sections 3 and 4 and of any rights to consent thereto.

     6. No Subrogation; Subordination. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that, until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, it will not exercise or seek to exercise any claim or right that it may have against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor at any time as a result of any payment made under or in connection with this Guaranty or the performance or enforcement hereof, including any right of subrogation to the rights of any of the Bank against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, any right of indemnity, contribution or reimbursement against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor (including rights of contribution as set forth in Section 1(c)), any right to enforce any remedies of the Bank against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security held by the Bank to secure payment of the Guaranteed

Obligations, in each case whether such claims or rights arise by contract, statute (including without limitation the Bankruptcy Code), common law or otherwise. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that all indebtedness and other obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, of the Borrower or any other Subsidiary of the Borrower to such Subsidiary Guarantor, including, without limitation, any such indebtedness in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and any intercompany receivables, together with any interest thereon, shall be, and hereby are, subordinated and made junior in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that if any amount shall be paid to or any distribution received by any Subsidiary Guarantor (i) on account of any such indebtedness at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) on account of any such rights of subrogation, indemnity, contribution or reimbursement at any time prior to the repayment of the Guaranteed Obligation in full, such amount or distribution shall be deemed to have been received and to be held in trust for the benefit of the Bank, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Bank in the form received (with any necessary endorsements in the case of written instruments), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not matured, in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Documents and without in any way discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under any other provision of this Guaranty. Additionally, in the event the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower becomes a “debtor” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute, the Bank shall be entitled, at its option, and is hereby authorized and appointed by each Subsidiary Guarantor, to file proofs of claim on behalf of each relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and vote the rights of each such Subsidiary Guarantor in any plan of reorganization, and to demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect and receive every payment and distribution on any indebtedness of the Borrower or such Subsidiary to any Subsidiary Guarantor in any such proceeding, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby assigning to the Bank all of its rights in respect of any such claim, including the right to receive payments and distributions in respect thereof.
