below) of STARTRAK SYSTEMS, LLC ("Borrower") to Lender on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Guaranty. The obligations of Guarantor under this
Guaranty are continuing, provided, however, this Guaranty shall terminate and be
of no further force or effect upon Lender's acquisition of Borrower in
accordance with the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Borrower,
Lender, Guarantor and others pursuant to which Lender is to acquire Borrower, of
even date herewith.
DEFINITIONS. The following words shall have the following
meanings when used in this Guaranty:
Indebtedness. The word "Indebtedness" means the
obligations under the Note.
Note. The word "Note" means that certain
promissory note in the original principal

thereof.
NATURE OF GUARANTY. Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall be
open and continuous for so long as this Guaranty remains in force. Subject to
the following paragraph, Guarantor intends to guarantee at all times the
1
performance and prompt payment when due, whether at maturity or earlier by
reason of acceleration or otherwise, of all Indebtedness. Accordingly, no
payments made upon the Indebtedness will discharge or diminish the continuing
liability of Guarantor in connection with any remaining portions of the
Indebtedness. All Guarantors agree that their liability under this Guaranty
shall be joint and several with all other Guarantors of the Indebtedness.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty will take effect when received by
Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to
Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until the Indebtedness
shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations
of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full, provided,
however, this Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon
Lender's acquisition of Borrower in accordance with the Agreement and Plan of
Reorganization between Borrower, Lender, Guarantor and others pursuant to which
Lender is to acquire Borrower, of even date herewith.
GUARANTOR'S AUTHORIZATION TO LENDER. Guarantor authorizes Lender,
without notice or demand and without lessening Guarantor's liability under this
Guaranty, from time to time: (a) to compromise, renew, extend the Indebtedness;
(b) to release, substitute, agree not to ▇▇▇, or deal with any one or more of
Borrower's sureties, endorsers, or other guarantors on any terms or in any
manner Lender may choose; (c) to determine how, when and what application of
payments and credits shall be made on the Indebtedness; and (d) to assign or
transfer this Guaranty in whole or in part.
GUARANTOR'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. Guarantor represents and
warrants to Lender that (a) no representations or agreements of any kind have
been made to Guarantor which would limit or qualify in any way the terms of this
Guaranty; (b) this Guaranty is executed at Borrower's request and not at the
request of Lender; (c) Lender has made no representation to Guarantor as to the
creditworthiness of Borrower; and (d) Guarantor has established adequate means
of obtaining from Borrower on a continuing basis information regarding
Borrower's financial condition. Guarantor agrees to keep adequately informed
from such means of any facts, events, or circumstances which might in any way
affect Guarantor's risks under this Guaranty, and Guarantor further agrees that,
absent a request for information, Lender shall have no obligation to disclose to
Guarantor any information or documents acquired by Lender in the course of its
relationship with Borrower.
GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS. Except as prohibited by applicable law, Guarantor
waives any right to require Lender (a) to continue lending money or to extend
other credit to Borrower; (b) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or
notice of any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the Indebtedness, or
notice of any action or nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, any surety,
endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the Indebtedness; (c) to resort
for payment or to proceed directly or at once against any person, including
Borrower or any other guarantor; or (d) to pursue any remedy within Lender's
power.
2
Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason
of (a) any "one action" or "anti-deficiency" law or any other law which may
prevent Lender from bringing any action, including a claim for deficiency,
against Guarantor, before or after Lender's commencement or completion of any
foreclosure action, either judicially or by exercise of a power of sale; (b) any
election of remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects
Guarantor's subrogation rights or Guarantor's rights to proceed against Borrower
for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor
may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the
Indebtedness; (c) any disability or other defense of Borrower, of any other
guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower's
liability from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender,
of the Indebtedness; or (d) any defenses given to guarantors at law or in equity
other than actual payment and performance of the Indebtedness. If payment is
made by Borrower, whether voluntarily or otherwise, or by any third party, on
the Indebtedness and thereafter Lender is forced to remit the amount of that
payment to Borrower's trustee in bankruptcy or to any similar person under any
federal or state bankruptcy law or law for the relief of debtors, the
Indebtedness shall be considered unpaid for the purpose of enforcement of this
Guaranty. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Guarantor hereby waives any
and all rights of Guarantor under A.R.S. ss.12-1641 et seq., A.R.S. ss.47-3414
et seq., and Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure 17(f).
Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any
deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty for any claim of setoff,
counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment or similar rights, whether such claim,
demand or right may be asserted by the Borrower, the Guarantor, or both.
GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS. Guarantor warrants
and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's
full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the
circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or
law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or
public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by
law or public policy.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT. At the option of the holder hereof, upon the
occurrence of any of the following, all obligations hereunder shall become
immediately fixed, due and payable, the same as if the Indebtedness guaranteed
had become in default or past due, without demand or notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived: (a) the Indebtedness, or any portion thereof,
is not paid as agreed; (b) any petition or application for a custodian, as
defined by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, as amended from time to time (the
"Bankruptcy Code") or for any form of relief under any provision of the
Bankruptcy Code or any other law pertaining to reorganization, insolvency or
3
readjustment of debt is filed by or against Guarantor or Borrower, or their
respective assets or affairs; (c) Guarantor or Borrower makes an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, is not paying debts as they become due, or is granted
an order for relief under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code; (d) a custodian,
as defined by the Bankruptcy Code, takes charge of any property of Guarantor or
Borrower; (e) any material garnishment, attachment, levy or execution is issued
against any of the property or effects of Guarantor or Borrower; (f) the death,
dissolution or termination of existence of Guarantor; or (g) there is any
material default or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant, or any
false statement or material omission by Guarantor under any document forming
part of the transaction in respect of which this Guaranty is made or forming
part of any other transaction under which Guarantor is indebted to Lender.
SUBORDINATION OF BORROWER'S DEBTS TO GUARANTOR. Guarantor agrees that
the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, whether now existing or hereafter
created, shall be prior to any claim that Guarantor may now have or hereafter
acquire against Borrower, whether or not Borrower becomes insolvent. Guarantor
hereby expressly subordinates any claim Guarantor may have against Borrower,
upon any account whatsoever, to any claim that Lender may now or hereafter have
against Borrower. In the event of insolvency and consequent liquidation of the
assets of Borrower, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of the Borrower
applicable to the payment of the claims of both Lender and Guarantor shall be
paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to the Indebtedness of
Borrower to Lender. Guarantor does hereby assign to Lender all claims which it
may have or acquire against Borrower or against any assignee or trustee in
bankruptcy of Borrower; provided however, that such assignment shall be
effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment in legal
tender of the Indebtedness. If Lender so requests, any notes or credit
agreements now or hereafter evidencing any debts or obligations of Borrower to
Guarantor shall be marked with a legend that the same are subject to this
Guaranty and shall be delivered to Lender. Guarantor agrees, and Lender hereby
is authorized, in the name of Guarantor, from time to time to execute and file
financing statements and continuation statements and to execute such other
documents and to take such other actions as Lender reasonably deems necessary or
appropriate to perfect, preserve and enforce its rights under this Guaranty.
LIMITED RECOURSE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, this Guaranty shall be nonrecourse to Guarantors and their respective
successors and assigns, and the Holder agrees that it will not exercise any
right to institute any action against Guarantors or any successors or assigns
for the payment of any sum of money or the performance of any other obligation
which is, or may be, payable or due under this Guaranty, except as against the
following membership Units owned by the Guarantors in Borrower:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
prejudice the rights of the Lender (a) to foreclose by UCC sale or judicial
foreclosure the Assignment of Limited Liability Company Interests made in
connection with this Guaranty or to enforce any of its other rights or remedies
under any documents securing the Note; or (b) to recover from Guarantors any
damages or costs incurred as a result of fraud or intentional misrepresentation
of Guarantors.
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are
part of this Guaranty:
Amendments. This Guaranty constitutes the entire understanding and
agreement of the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty.
No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective
unless given in writing and signed by the party or parties sought to be
charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.
Applicable Law. This Guaranty has been delivered to Lender and accepted
by Lender in the State of Arizona. If there is a lawsuit, Guarantor
agrees upon the Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the
courts of Maricopa County, State of Arizona. Lender and Guarantor
hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action, proceeding, or
counterclaim brought by either Lender or Guarantor against the other.
This Guaranty shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Arizona.
Attorneys' Fees; Expenses. In any action brought to enforce the
provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to
recover its attorneys' fees and costs as determined by the court and
not the jury.
Notices. All notices required to be given by either party to the other
under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be effective when
actually delivered (by personal delivery or by courier service such as
Federal Express) or three (3) days after deposit in the United States
mail, registered or certified, first class postage prepaid, addressed
to the party to whom the notice is to be given at the address shown
above or to such other addresses as either party may designate to the
other in writing. For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender
informed at all times of Guarantor's current address.
Interpretation. In all cases where there is more than one Borrower or
Guarantor, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall
be deemed to have been used in the plural where the context and
construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower
named in this Guaranty or when this Guaranty is executed by more than
one Guarantor, the words "Guarantor," "Borrower," and "Lender" include
the successors, assigns, and transferees of each of them. Caption
headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not
5
to be used to interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty. If a
court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Guaranty to
be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such
finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable as to
any other persons or circumstances, and all provisions of this Guaranty
in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable. It is not
necessary for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or
Guarantor or of the officers, directors, partners, members or agents
acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any indebtedness made
or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall
be guaranteed under this Guaranty.
Waiver. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights under this
Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender.
No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or
constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict
compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Guaranty
shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise
to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision
of this Guaranty. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing
between Lender and Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of
Lender's rights or of any of Guarantor's obligations as to any future
transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this
Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall
not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such
consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or
withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
THE UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING READ ALL OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
GUARANTY AND AGREES TO ITS TERMS. IN ADDITION, THE GUARANTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT
THIS GUARANTY IS EFFECTIVE UPON GUARANTOR'S EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS
GUARANTY TO LENDER AND THAT THE GUARANTY WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE NOTE AND ALL
OTHER INDEBTEDNESS IS FULLY SATISFIED. NO FORMAL ACCEPTANCE BY LENDER IS
NECESSARY TO MAKE THIS GUARANTY EFFECTIVE.
THIS GUARANTY IS DATED JUNE 25, 2006.
