SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (SBA)
GUARANTY
June 28, 1995
In order to induce Centennial Bank (SBA or other Lending Institution),
(hereinafter called "Lender") to make a loan or loans, or renewal or extension
thereof, to Academic Book Center. Inc. (hereinafter called "Debtor"), the
Undersigned hereby unconditionally guarantees to Lender, its successors and
assigns, the due and punctual payment when due, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, in accordance with the terms thereof, of the principal of and
interest on and all other sums payable, or stated to be payable, with respect
to the note of the Debtor, made by the Debtor to Lender, dated June 28, 1995 in
the principal amount of $650,O00.00, with interest at the rate of Wall Street
Journal prime plus 2.50 per cent per annum. Such note, and the interest
thereon and all other sums payable with respect thereto are hereinafter
collectively called "Liabilities." As security for the performance of this
guaranty the Undersigned hereby mortgages, pledges, assigns, transfers and
delivers to Lender certain collateral (if any), listed in the schedule on the
reverse side hereof. The term "collateral" as used herein shall mean any
funds, guaranties, agreements or other property or rights or interests of any
nature whatsoever, or the proceeds thereof, which may have been, are, or
hereafter may be, mortgaged, pledged, assigned, transferred or delivered
directly or indirectly by or on behalf of the Debtor or the Undersigned or any
other party to Lender or to the holder of the aforesaid note of the Debtor, or
which may have been, are, or hereafter may be held by any party as trustee or
otherwise, as security, whether immediate or underlying, for the performance of
this guaranty or the payment of the Liabilities or any of them or any security
therefor.
The Undersigned waives any notice of the incurring by the Debtor at any
time of any of the Liabilities, and waives any and all presentment, demand,
protest or notice of dishonor, nonpayment, or other default with respect to any
of the Liabilities and any obligation of any party at any time comprised in the
collateral. The Undersigned hereby grants to Lender full power, in its
uncontrolled discretion and without notice to the undersigned, but subject to
the provisions of any agreement between the Debtor or any other party and
Lender at the time in force, to deal in any manner with the Liabilities and the
collateral, including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
the following powers:
(a) To modify or otherwise change any terms of all or any part of the
Liabilities or the rate of interest thereon (but not to increase the
principal amount of the note of the Debtor to Lender), to grant any
extension or renewal thereof and any other indulgence with respect
thereto, and to effect any release, compromise or settlement with
respect thereto;
(b) To enter into any agreement of forbearance with respect to all or any
part of the Liabilities, or with respect to all or any part of the
collateral, and to change the terms of any such agreement;
(c) To forbear from calling for additional collateral to secure any of the
Liabilities or to secure any obligation comprised in the collateral;
(d) To consent to the substitution, exchange, or release of all or any
part of the collateral, whether or not the collateral, if any,
received by Lender upon any such substitution, exchange, or release
shall be of the same or of a different character or value than the
collateral surrendered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇;
(e) In the event of the nonpayment when due, whether by acceleration or
otherwise, of any of the Liabilities, or in the event of default in
the performance of any obligation comprised in the collateral, to
realize on the collateral or any part thereof, as a whole or in
such parcels or subdivided interests as Lender may elect, at any
public or private sale or sales, for cash or on credit or for future
delivery, without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place
of sale or any adjournment thereof (the Undersigned hereby waiving any
such demand, advertisement and notice to the extent permitted by law),
or by foreclosure or otherwise, or to forbear from realizing thereon,
all as Lender in its uncontrolled discretion may deem proper, and to
purchase all or any part of the collateral for its own account at any
such sale or foreclosure, such powers to be exercised only to the
extent permitted by law.
The obligations of the Undersigned hereunder shall not be released,
discharged or in any way affected, nor shall the Undersigned have any rights or
recourse against Lender, by reason of any action Lender may take or omit to
take under the foregoing powers.
In case the Debtor shall fail to pay all or any part of the Liabilities
when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, according to the terms of said
note, the Undersigned, immediately upon the written demand of ▇▇▇▇▇▇, will pay
to Lender the amount due and unpaid by the Debtor as aforesaid, in like manner
as if such amount constituted the direct and primary obligation of the
Undersigned. Lender shall not be required, prior to any such demand on, or
payment by, the Undersigned, to make any demand upon or pursue or exhaust any
of its rights or remedies against the Debtor or others with respect to the
payment of any of the Liabilities, or to pursue or exhaust any of its rights or
remedies with respect to any part of the collateral. The Undersigned shall
have no right of subrogation whatsoever with respect to the Liabilities or the
collateral unless and until Lender shall have received full payment of all of
the Liabilities.
2
The obligations of the Undersigned hereunder, and the rights of Lender in
the collateral shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected, nor
shall the undersigned have any rights against Lender; by reason of the
fact that any of the collateral may be in default at the time of acceptance
thereof by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ or later; nor by reason of the fact that a valid lien in any
of the collateral may not be conveyed to or created in favor of, Lender; nor by
reason of the fact that any of the collateral may be subject to equities or
defenses or claims in favor of others or may be invalid or defective in any
way; nor by reason of the fact that any of the Liabilities may be invalid for
any reason whatsoever; nor by reason of the fact that the value of any of the
collateral, or the financial condition of the Debtor or of any obligor under or
guarantor of any of the collateral, may not have been correctly estimated or
may have changed or may hereafter change; nor by reason of any deterioration,
waste, or loss by fire, theft, or otherwise of any of the collateral, unless
such deterioration, waste, or loss be caused by the willful act or willful
failure to act of Lender.
The Undersigned agrees to furnish Lender, or the holder of the aforesaid
note of the Debtor, upon demand, but not more often than semiannually, so long
as any part of the indebtedness under such note remains unpaid, a financial
statement setting forth, in reasonable detail, the assets, liabilities, and net
worth of the Undersigned.
The Undersigned acknowledges and understands that if the Small Business
Administration (SBA) enters into, has entered into, or will enter into, a
Guaranty Agreement, with Lender or any other lending institution, guaranteeing
a portion of Debtor's Liabilities, the Undersigned agrees that it is not a
coguarantor with SBA and shall have no right of contribution against SBA. The
Undersigned further agrees that all liability hereunder shall continue
notwithstanding payment by SBA under its Guaranty Agreement to the other
lending institution.
The term "Undersigned" as used in this agreement shall mean the signer or
signers of this agreement; and such signers, if more than one, shall be jointly
and severally liable hereunder. The Undersigned further agrees that all
liability hereunder shall continue notwithstanding the incapacity, lack of
authority, death, or disability of any one or more of the Undersigned, and that
any failure by Lender or its assigns to file or enforce a claim against the
estate of any of the Undersigned shall not operate to release any other of the
Undersigned from liability hereunder. The failure of any other person to sign
this guaranty shall not release or affect the liability of any signer hereof.
