termination of each Schedule to this Lease, or any extension or renewal thereof,
provided Lessee has paid all of the rent called for and fully performed all
other provisions of this Lease with respect to such Schedule, Lessor will return

Schedule, without interest. Lessee acknowledges that said security deposit may
be commingled with Lessor's other funds.

14. LOSS AND DAMAGE. Lessee will at all times bear the entire risk of loss,
theft, damage or destruction of the Equipment from any cause whatsoever, and no
loss, theft, damage or destruction of the Equipment shall relieve Lessee of the
obligation to pay rent or to comply with any other obligation under this Lease.

b. Pay Lessor in cash the following:
(i) All amounts due by Lessee to Lessor with respect to all
affected Schedules up to the date of the loss; and
(ii) The unpaid balance of the total amounts due for the remaining
term of the affected Schedules attribute to said item,
discounted to present value at a discount rate of 8% as of the
date of loss; and
(iii) The Lessor's estimate as of the time this Lease was entered
into of Lessor's residual interest in the Equipment,
discounted to present value at a discount rate of 8% as of the
date of loss. Upon Lessor's receipt of payment as set forth
above, Lessee shall be entitled to Lessor's interest in such
Equipment "as is, where is" and without any warranty, express
of implied from Lessor. If insurance proceeds are used to
fully comply with this subparagraph, the balance of any such
proceeds shall go to Lessee to compensate for loss of use of
the Equipment for the remaining term of the Lease.
15. INSURANCE; LIENS; TAXES. Lessee will provide and maintain from insurance
companies satisfactory to Lessor, insurance against loss, theft, damage or
destruction of the Equipment in an amount not less than the full replacement
value of the Equipment, with loss payable to Lessor. Lessee will also provide
and maintain comprehensive general all-risk liability insurance, included but
not limited to product liability coverage insuring Lessor and Lessee, with a
severability of interest endorsement, or its equivalent, against any and all
loss or liability for all damages, either to persons or property or otherwise,
which might result from or happen in connection with the condition, use or
operation of the Equipment, with such limits and with an insurer as are
satisfactory to Lessor. Each policy shall expressly provide that said insurance
as to Lessor and its assigns will not be invalidated by any act, omission or
neglect of Lessee and cannot be canceled or modified without 30 days prior
written notice to Lessor. As to each policy, Lessee shall furnish to Lessor a
certificate of insurance from the insurer, which certificate shall evidence the
insurance coverage required by this Paragraph and shall designate Lessor as loss
payee and/or additional insured. Lessor will have no obligation to ascertain the
existence or adequacy of insurance, or to provide any insurance coverage for the
Equipment or for Lessee's benefit.
Lessee must keep the Equipment free and clear of all levies, liens and
encumbrances. Lessee will pay all charges, assessments and taxes (local, state
and federal) which may now or hereafter be imposed upon the ownership, leasing,
rental, sale, purchase, possession or use of the Equipment, excluding, however,
all taxes on or measured by Lessor's net income.
If Lessee fails to procure or maintain said insurance or to pay said charges,
assessments, or taxes, Lessor has the right, but is not obligated to, effect
such insurance at Lessee's expense, or pay such charges, assessments, or taxes.
In that event, Lessor shall notify Lessee of such payment and Lessee will repay
to Lessor the cost thereof within 15 days after such notice is mailed to Lessee.
16. INDEMNITY. Lessee will hold Lessor harmless and indemnify and defend Lessor
against any claims, actions, damages or liabilities, including all attorney
fee's, arising out of or connected with the Equipment or this Lease without
limitation. Such indemnification shall survive the expiration, cancellation or
termination of this Lease and Lessee waives any and all immunity Lessee may have
under any industrial insurance act, with regard to indemnification of Lessor.
17. ASSIGNMENT BY LESSOR. Any assignee of Lessor shall have all of the rights
but none of the obligations of Lessor under this Lease. Lessee shall recognize
and hereby consent to any assignment of this Lease by Lessor, and Lessee shall

Lessor, and, effective on the actual transfer of the Equipment to Lessor,
disclaims any ownership interest or rights in the Equipment except those the

CONTINUING GUARANTY OF LEASE
The undersigned ("Guarantor") is executing this guaranty at the solicitation of
Eran Engineering, Inc. ("Lessee") to induce Global Vantage Ltd. ("Lessor"),
whose address is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ to extend credit to Lessee pursuant to that certain Lease
Agreement No. 90501368 between Lessor and Lessee dated September 20th, 2005 (the
"Lease").
1. For valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Lessor the
due and punctual payment and performance of all of Lessee's present and future
indebtedness and obligation to Lessor under the Lease, and under all
modifications, amendments, renewals and extensions of the Lease, including
payment to Lessor of all rents and monies due and to become due to Lessor from
Lessee under the Lease in the amounts and at the times set out in the Lease, and
performance of all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease. All such
indebtedness and obligations are referred to in this guaranty as the
"Indebtedness" and will be payable by Guarantor to Lessor, or order, immediately
on demand in the events of any default by Lessee with respect to the
Indebtedness or any part thereof. All payments shall be made to Lessor at the
address indicated above, or such other address as Lessor may direct in writing,
in lawful money of the United States without setoff, deduction or counterclaim.
Time is of the essence in the performance by Guarantor under this guaranty.
2. Guarantor is fully aware of the financial condition of Lessee. Guarantor
represents and warrants that he is in a position to obtain any additional
information concerning Lessee as Guarantor may desire. Guarantor assumes the
fully responsibility for being and keeping himself informed of the financial
condition and assets of Lessee and of all other circumstances bearing upon the
risks of nonpayment of the Indebtedness which diligent inquiry would reveal.
Absent a written request for such information by Guarantor, Lessor shall have no
duty to advise Guarantor of information known to it regarding such conditions or
any such circumstances, regardless of whether Lessor has reason to believe that
any such information materially increases the risk beyond that which Guarantor
intends to assume or has reason to believe that such information is unknown to
Guarantor or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such information to
Guarantor. By executing this guaranty, Guarantor knowingly accepts the full
range of risks encompassed within a contract of continuing guaranty which risks
Guarantor acknowledges includes the possibility that Lessee will incur
additional Indebtedness for which Guarantor will be liable after Lessee's
financial condition or ability to pay such Indebtedness has deteriorated.
3. Guarantor authorizes Lessor, whether before or after revocation or this
guaranty, without notice or demand and without affecting or impairing
Guarantor's liability hereunder, from time to time to do one or more of the
following: (a) renew, compromise, settle, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment, discharge or performance of the new
Indebtedness or any part thereof; (b) change the terms of the Indebtedness or
any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon
or the rent; (c) take and hold security for the payment of the Indebtedness or
any part thereof or any guarantee thereof, and subordinate, exchange, modify,
vary, enforce, waive, release (intentionally or unintentionally), renew or
abstain from perfecting or taking advantage of any security; (d) apply any sums
received from Lessee or any other person or from the disposition of any security
to any indebtedness whatsoever owing from Lessee or such person or secured by
such security, in such manner and order as Lessor determines, and regardless of
whether such Indebtedness is secured or is due and payable; or (f) release,
substitute or add any one or more cosigners, endorsers or other guarantors of
the Indebtedness.
4. Guarantor waives: (a) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of
nonperformance, protests, and all other notices, including notices of all of the
following: protest, dishonor. Acceptance of this guaranty, any default, partial
payment or nonpayment of all or any part of the Indebtedness and the existence,
creation or incurring of new or additional Indebtedness; (b) any right to
require Lessor to proceed against Lessee or any other person, to proceed against
or exhaust any security held from Lessee or any other person for the
Indebtedness, to proceed against or exhaust any security held from Guarantor or
any other person for this guaranty or to pursue any other remedy in Lessor's
power whatsoever; (c) the benefits of any laws which provide that the obligation
of guarantor must neither be larger in amount not in other respects more
burdensome than that if the principal or which reduce a guarantor's obligation
in proportion to the principal obligation; (d) any defense arising by reason of
the invalidity, illegality or lack or enforceability of the Indebtedness or any
part thereof, or by reason of any incapacity, lack of authority, death,
disability or other defense of Lessee or any other person, or by reason of the
failure of Lessor to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in
administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of Lessee or any other
person, by or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of Lessee or any other person with respect to all or any part of the
Indebtedness, or by reason of any act or omission of Lessor or others which
directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of Lessee or any
other person or any Indebtedness or any security therefore, whether by operation
or law or otherwise; (e) any defense arising because of Lessor's election, in
any proceeding instituted under the federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application
of Section 1111 (b)(2) of the federal Bankruptcy Code; (f) any defense based on
any borrowing or grant of a security interest under Section 364 of the federal
Bankruptcy Code; (g) any defense arising by reason or Lessor's failure to
obtain, perfect, continue, maintain or keep in force any security interest in,
lien or encumbrance upon, any property, whether as owner thereof or the holder
of a security interest or lien or encumbrance thereon, being invalidated,
avoided, declared void, fraudulent or preferential or otherwise set aside, or by
reason of any impairment by Lessor of any right to recourse or collateral; (h)
any right to require Lessor to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ any assets in favor or Guarantor; (i)
any defense based upon any failure of Lessor to give Lessee or Guarantor notice
of any sale or other disposition of any property securing any or all of the
indebtedness or any guarantee t hereof, or any defect in any notice that may be
given in connection with any sale or other disposition of any such property, or
any failure of Lessor to comply with any provision of applicable law in
enforcing any security interest in or lien upon any such property, including any
failure by Lessor to dispose of any such property in a commercially reasonable
manner; (j) any defense based upon or arising out of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, liquidation or dissolution
proceeding commenced by or against Lessee or any other person, including any
discharge of, or bar against collecting, any of the Indebtedness (including any
interest thereon), in or as a result of any such processing; and (k) any defense
based on any dissolution or termination of, or increase, decrease or change in
membership of any guarantor or Lessee which is a partnership.
5. Guarantor expressly waives all rights of, or to, subrogation, reimbursement,
indemnity, exoneration, contribution, or any other rights, remedies or claims,
whether contractual, legal, equitable, or otherwise, which Lessor o any other
party may have or acquire, against Lessee, and waives any benefit of, and any
right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by Lessor.
6. Lessor may, at its election, but without obligation to do so, exercise any
right or remedy it may have against Lessee or any other person or real or
personal property security it holds for the Indebtedness or any part thereof or
any guaranty thereof, including foreclosing a trust deed judicially or
nonjudicially to taking a deed, assignment or transfer in lieu of foreclosure as
to any such property, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of
Guarantor hereunder except to the extent of the Indebtedness has been paid, even
if the effect of such action is to destroy or diminish Guarantors subrogation
rights, Guarantors right to proceed against Lessee for reimbursement, Guarantors
right to recover contribution from any other guarantor or any other right or
security, and Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence,
impairment or loss of any right of Guarantor of subrogation, reimbursement or
contribution or o any other right or security, whether resulting from an
election of remedies by Lessor or any act or omission by Lessor or otherwise,
Without limiting are foregoing, Guarantor understands that if Lessor
nonjudicially forecloses any trust deed now of hereafter securing any of the
Indebtedness or any part thereof, Guarantor will remain liable to Lessor for any
deficiency for which Guarantor is liable and may lose other rights, and even
though Guarantor would have retained such rights if Lessor had foreclosed said
trust deed by judicial rather than nonjudicial foreclosure. Without in any
manner limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision of this
guaranty, Guarantor waives the benefits of the provisions of Sections 2809,
2810, 2819, 2839, 2845, 2850, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code and
Sections 580a, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure, and any
similar or analogous statues of this or any other jurisdiction.
7. The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of
Lessee. A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against
Guarantor without first proceeding against Lessee or any other person or any
security held by Lessor and without pursuing any other remedy and without
joining Lessee or any other person in any such action or actions. Guarantor
waives the benefit of any statue of limitations affecting his liability
hereunder of the enforcement thereof. Any payment of any Indebtedness or other
act which shall toll any statute of limitations applicable thereto shall also
operate to toll such statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability
hereunder.
8. Any indebtedness of Lessee now or hereafter held by Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to the Indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor; and such indebtedness of
Lessee to Guarantor if Lessor so requests shall be collected, enforced and
received by Guarantor as trustee for Lessor and be paid over to Lessor on
account of the Indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of
this guaranty. Should Guarantor fail to collect proceeds of debt owed to it by
Lessee and pay the proceeds to Lessor, Lessor as Guarantor's attorney-in-fact
may do such acts and sign such documents in Guarantor's name as Lessor considers
necessary to effect such collection.
9. It is not necessary for Lessor to inquire into the powers of Lessee or of the
officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on its
behalf, and any Indebtedness made or created in reliance upon the professed
exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
10. Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable attorney's fee and all other costs and
expenses which may be incurred by Lessor in any effort to collect or enforce the
Indebtedness or this guaranty.
11. Nothing shall discharge or satisfy the liability of Guarantor hereunder
except the full performance and payment of the Indebtedness of Lessee to Lessor.
If any payment with respect to any or all of the Indebtedness by any person or
from any property is subsequently invalidated, avoided, declared to be void,
fraudulent, or preferential or otherwise set aside, and is required to be repaid
by Lessor to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy act,
state or federal, common low or equitable cause or otherwise, then to the extent
of such repayment, the obligation or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall
be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not
been made. When any claim is asserted that any such payment is invalid, void,
fraudulent, preferential or otherwise subject to being set aside, Lessor may
compromise or settle any such claim and to the extent of any repayment by Lessor
as part of any such compromise or settlement, the obligation or part thereof
intended to be satisfied shall likewise be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made. In each case, payments received
by Lessor which are so repaid shall not discharge, satisfy or reduce the
liability of Guarantor hereunder and Guarantor shall be and remain fully liable
therefore.
12. Guarantor warrants, represents and covenants to Lessor that all Guarantor's
financial statements, including income statement(s) and balance sheet(s), which
may have been delivered to Lessor, properly state Guarantor's financial
condition, that there has been no material adverse change in the financial
condition of Guarantor as reflected in the statements since the date thereof and
that the statements do not fail to disclose any facts or facts which might
materially and adversely affect Guarantor's financial conditions, including
litigation commenced, tax lien filed, defaults claimed under his indebtedness
for borrowed money or bankruptcy proceedings commenced against Guarantor by any
person.
13. This guaranty shall inure to the benefit or Lessor, its successors and
assigns, and shall bind the heirs, executors, administrators, successors and
assigns of Guarantor. Any married person who signs this guaranty agrees that
recourse may be had against his or her separate property for all of his or her
obligations hereunder. This guaranty is assignable by Lessor without notice with
respects to all or any portion of the Indebtedness hereby guaranteed, and when
so assigned, Guarantor shall be liable to the assignees under this guaranty
without in any manner affecting the liability or Guarantor hereunder with
respects to any Indebtedness retained by Lessor and, in such event, unless the
context otherwise requires, the term "Lessor" as used herein shall also include
such assignees.
14. This guaranty shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of
the State of California. Whenever the context so requires, the masculine gender
includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular includes the plural. As used
herein, "any other person" shall include without limitation, any other guarantor
of the Indebtedness or any part thereof, any endorsement thereof or any co-maker
thereof, "including" shall not be limiting, and "or" shall not be exclusive. All
authorizations, consents and waivers made by Guarantor with respect to any
security shall be applicable to any property lease under the Lease. If this
guaranty is executed by more than one Guarantor, their obligations hereunder
shall be joint and several. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or
more provisions of this guaranty will not affect any other provision.
15. All actions or proceedings relating directly or indirectly to this guaranty
shall, at the option of Lessor, be litigated in courts of the State of
California or of the United States of California, located in the county where
Lessor's address set forth above is located. Guarantor consents and submits to
the jurisdiction of any such court. Guarantor consents to service of process by
means authorized by California or federal law. Guarantor waives any and all
objections which Guarantor may have as to the jurisdiction or venue or such
courts and any and all rights Guarantor may have to transfer or change the venue
of any such action on proceeding. 16. This guaranty constitutes the entire
agreement of Guarantor and Lessor with respects to the subject matter hereof and
there are no promises, statements or representations of any kind or nature
whatsoever other than those herein contained. No delay or failure by Lessor to
exercise any right or remedy against Guarantor will be construed as a waiver of
that right or remedy. The terms and provisions of this guaranty may not be
waived, altered, modified or amended except by written instrument executed by
Guaranty and Lessor. All rights and remedies of Lessor against Guarantor are
cumulative and not exclusive and maybe exercised successively or concurrently.
No exercise or any right or remedy shall be deemed to be an election of remedies
and preclude exercise of any other right or remedy.
17. Any notice, demand or request to Guarantor shall be given in writing and
shall be deemed given when personally served on Guarantor or mailed (first class
U.S. mail postage prepaid) or delivered to Guarantor's Address for Notice set
forth below. Any notice, demand, or request to Lessor shall be in writing and be
deemed given when received by Lessor by personal delivery or first class U.S.
mail postage prepaid at the address indicated above.
18. This is a continuing guaranty. Revocation shall be effective only upon
written notice being received personally by an officer of Lessor at Lessor's
address indicated above, or being received by Lessor at such address by
certified or registered United States mail, return, receipt, requested, postage
prepaid addressed to such address. Notice shall be effective at any office or
Lessor should the office at the address above no longer be in existence.
Revocation shall be effective at the close of the Lessor's business day when
such notice is received. The revocation shall be effective only as to the
revoking party and notwithstanding such revocation, this guaranty and all
authorizations, waivers and provisions hereof shall remain in full force and
effect as to that party's obligations with respect to Indebtedness outstanding
on the effective date of the revocation and all extensions, renewals, amendments
and modifications thereof.
19. No person executing this guaranty is doing so in consideration of or in
reliance on any other person executing this guaranty or any other guaranty of
Indebtedness. 20. There is no limitation on Guarantor's liability under this
guaranty.
