Principal Amount: $907,141.49 | Interest Rate: 6.540% | Date of Note: March 9, 2007 | ||
PROMISE TO PAY. Planet Beach Franchising Corporation (Borrower) promises to pay to the
order of Capital One, National Association (Lender), in lawful money of the United States of
America the sum of Nine Hundred Seven Thousand One Hundred Forty-one & 49/100 Dollars
(U.S. $907,141.49), together with simple interest at the rate of 6.540% per annum assessed on the
unpaid principal balance of this Note as outstanding from time to time, commencing on March 9,
2007 and continuing until this Note is paid in full.
PAYMENT. Borrower will pay this loan in full immediately upon Lenders demand. If no demand is
made, Borrower will pay this loan in 240 payments of $6,837.49 each payment. Borrowers first
payment is due April 9, 2007, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month
after that. Borrowers final payment due on March 9, 2027, may be greater if Borrower does not
make payments as scheduled. Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments
will be applied first to any accrued unpaid interest; then to principal; then to any late
charges; and then to any unpaid collection costs. The annual interest rate for this Note is
computed on a 365/360 basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a
year of 360 days, multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding. Borrower will pay Lender at Lenders
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate in writing.
PREPAYMENT PENALTY. Upon prepayment of this Note, Lender is entitled to the following
prepayment penalty: 3% of the unpaid principal balance if prepaid in full during the first year
of the term; 2% of the unpaid principal balance if prepaid In full during the second year of
the term; 1% of the unpaid principal balance if prepaid in full during the third year of the
term. No penalty shall be due if prepaid after the third year of the term. The prepayment
penalty shall apply only to prepayments resulting from a refinancing of the Note. Other than
Borrowers obligation to pay any prepayment penalty, Borrower may prepay this Note in full at
any time by paying the then unpaid principal balance of this Note, plus accrued simple interest
and any unpaid late charges through date of prepayment. If Borrower prepays this Note in full,
or if Lender accelerates payment, Borrower understands that, unless otherwise required by law,
any prepaid fees or charges will not be subject to rebate and will be earned by Lender at the
time this Note is signed. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in writing,
relieve Borrower of Borrowers obligation to continue to make payments under the payment
schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in
Borrowers making fewer payments. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked paid in
full, without recourse, or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment, Lender may
accept it without losing any of Lenders rights under this Note, and Borrower will remain
obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All written communications concerning
disputed amounts, including any check or other payment instrument that indicates that the
payment constitutes payment in full of the amount owed or that is tendered with other
conditions or limitations or as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or
delivered to: Capital One, National Association, P.O. Box 152407 Irving, TX 75015-2407.
LATE CHARGE. If Borrower fails to pay any payment under this Note in full within 10 days of
when due, Borrower agrees to pay Lender a late payment fee in an amount equal to 10.000% of the
delinquent interest due or $29.00, whichever is greater. Late charges will not be assessed
following declaration of default and acceleration of the maturity of this Note.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. If Lender declares this Note to be in default, Lender has the right
prospectively to adjust and fix the simple interest rate under this Note until this Note is paid

COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER BORROWER OR LENDER AGAINST THE OTHER.
GOVERNING LAW. This Note will be governed by federal law applicable to Lender and, to the
extent not preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Louisiana without regard to its
conflicts of law provisions. This Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of Louisiana.
NSF CHARGE. In the event that Borrower makes any payment under this Note by check or electronic
payment and Borrowers check or electronic payment is returned to Lender unpaid due to
non-sufficient funds in Borrowers deposit account or otherwise, Borrower agrees to pay Lender
an NSF charge in an amount of $29.00.
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. As collateral security for repayment of this Note and all renewals and
extensions, as well as to secure any and all other loans, notes, indebtedness and obligations
that Borrower may now and in the future owe to Lender or incur in Lenders favor, whether
direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, of any nature and kind
whatsoever (with the exception of any indebtedness under a consumer credit card account), and
to the extent permitted by law, Borrower is granting Lender a continuing security interest in
any and all funds that Borrower may now and in the future have on deposit with Lender or in
certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Borrower is an account holder
(with the exception of IRA, pension, and other tax-deferred deposits). Borrower further agrees
that, to the extent permitted by law, Lender may at any time apply any funds that Borrower may
have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which
Borrower is an account holder against the unpaid balance of this Note and any and all other
present and future indebtedness and obligations that Borrower may then owe to Lender, in
principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys fees.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with such financial statements and
other related information at such frequencies and in such detail as Lender may reasonably
request.
APPRAISAL COVENANT. Lender shall have the right to re-appraise the collateral securing the Note
at any time during the term of this Note, provided however, Lender shall not exercise this
right more often than every third year from the date of the most recent appraisal. All
Appraisals shall be performed by appraisers acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, and
the costs thereof shall be secured by the collateral. Borrower shall immediately upon demand
reimburse Lender for the costs of all appraisals. Failure to reimburse Lender upon demand, or
to give any designated appraiser access to the collateral for the purposes of appraising the
collateral, shall constitute a default hereunder and shall entitle Lender to exercise all
remedies provided for default under this Note.
CONVERSION TO VARIABLE RATE AND PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT. Notwithstanding the interest rate
provisions set forth above, Borrower acknowledges that on the three year anniversary of this
Note (the Conversion Date), the interest rate will convert to a variable interest rate. On
and after the Conversion Date, the interest rate will be subject to change from time to time
based on changes in an independent index which is the United States Dollars Swap Rate with
adjustment periods of one, three or five years as quoted in the Federal Reserve Statistical
Release H.15 or such other source as is acceptable to Lender (the Index), plus a margin of
1.46%. The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by Lender on its loans. If the
Index becomes unavailable during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index
after notice to Borrower. Lender will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrowers
request. The interest rate change will not occur more often than each year, three years, or
five years, corresponding with the adjustment period then in effect. Thirty days prior to the
Conversion Date, and thirty days prior to any rate change thereafter, Borrower may elect an
adjustment period by so notifying Lender in writing. Otherwise, the adjustment period will
remain the same or will be at Lenders option. All rate changes will be based on the Index in
effect on the second to last business day of the month prior to the month in which the change
occurs. Notwithstanding the repayment terms set forth above, whenever rate change occurs,
Lender shall have the right to adjust the Borrowers monthly payments upwards or downwards to
ensure Borrowers loan will pay off according to the original amortization schedule.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. Borrower acknowledges that Lender is subject to federal and state
regulations requiring Lender to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies Lenders
customers, including all loan parties. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with any information
Lender reasonably deems necessary to comply with all such regulations. Should Borrower fail to
do so, it shall constitute a default hereunder, entitling Lender to exercise all remedies for
default provided hereunder.
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with such financial statements and
other related information as such frequencies and in such detail as Lender may reasonably
request.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Borrower agrees to provide Lender with such financial statements and other
related information at such frequencies and in such detail as Lender may reasonably request.
ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender that Borrower will, on
an annual basis, furnish Lender with Borrowers fiscal year end financial statement and tax
returns, prepared and certified as correct to the best knowledge and belief of Borrower, in
form and substance acceptable to Lender. Failure to comply with this provision shall constitute
a default hereunder and shall entitle Lender to exercise all remedies provided hereunder.
WAIVERS. Borrower and each guarantor of this Note hereby waive demand, presentment for payment,
protest, notice of protest and notice of nonpayment, and all pleas of division and discussion,
and severally agree that their obligations and liabilities to Lender hereunder shall be on a
solidary or joint and several basis. Borrower and each guarantor further severally agree
that discharge or release of any party who is or may be liable to Lender for the indebtedness
represented hereby, or the release of any collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment
hereof, shall not have the effect of releasing any other party or parties, who shall remain
liable to Lender, or of releasing any other collateral that is not expressly released by
Lender. Borrower and each guarantor additionally agree that Lenders acceptance of payment
other than in accordance with the terms of this Note, or Lenders subsequent agreement to
extend or modify such repayment terms, or Lenders failure or delay in exercising any rights or
remedies granted to Lender, shall likewise not have the effect of releasing Borrower or any
other party or parties from their respective obligations to Lender, or of releasing any
collateral that directly or indirectly secures repayment hereof. In addition, any failure or
delay on the part of Lender to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted to Lender shall
not have the effect of waiving any of Lenders rights and remedies. Any partial exercise of any
rights and/or remedies granted to Lender shall furthermore not be construed as a waiver of any
other rights and remedies; it being Borrowers intent and agreement that Lenders rights and
remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Borrower and each guarantor further agree that, should
any default event occur or exist under this Note, any waiver or forbearance on the part of
Lender to pursue the rights and remedies available to Lender, shall be binding upon Lender only
to the extent that Lenders specifically agrees to any such waiver or forbearance in writing. A
waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender as to one default event shall not be construed as a
waiver or forbearance as to any other default. Borrower and each guarantor of this Note further
agree that any late charges provided for under this Note will not be charges for deferral of
time for payment and will not and are not intended to compensate Lenders for a grace or cure
period, and no such deferral, grace or cure period has or will be granted to Borrower in return
for the imposition of any late charge. Borrower recognizes that Borrowers failure to make
timely payment of amounts due under this Note will result in damages to Lender, including but
not limited to Lenders loss of the use of amounts due, and Borrower agrees that any late
charges imposed by Lender hereunder will represent reasonable compensation to Lender for such
damages. Failure to pay in full any installment or payment timely when due under this Note,
whether or not a late charge is assessed, will remain and shall constitute an Event of Default
hereunder.

under this Note shall be binding upon Borrowers and each Guarantors respective successors.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF EXISTING MULTIPLE INDEBTEDNESS MORTGAGE
TERMS AND CONDITIONS:
MULTIPLE
INDEBTEDNESS MORTGAGE. Design to secure the prompt and punctual payment and
satisfaction of present and future Indebtedness may be outstanding from time to time, one or
more times, as provided herein, Grantor previously executed the following described Mortgage in
favor of Lender:
A Multiple Indebtedness Mortgage dated December 3, 2001 in favor of Lender.
CONTINUING SECURITY INTEREST TO SECURE PRESENT AND FUTURE INDEBTEDNESS. Grantor reaffirms that
Grantors Mortgage was intended to and shall secure any and all of Grantors present and future
Indebtedness in favor of Lender, as may be outstanding from time to time, one or more times,
including Grantors loan and promissory note described therein, with the continuing preferences
and priorities provided
under Louisiana law.
TRANSFER OF INDEBTEDNESS. Grantor hereby recognizes and agrees that Lender may assign all or
any portion of the Indebtedness to one or more third party creditors. Such transfers may
include, but are not limited to, sales of participation interests in the Indebtedness. Grantor
specifically agrees and consents to all such transfers and further waives any notice of any
such transfers as may be provided for under applicable law.
EXECUTION OF ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS. Grantor agrees to execute all additional documents
that Lender may deem necessary and proper, within its sole discretion, to better reflect the
true intent of this Acknowledgment.
WAIVERS. Grantor hereby waives presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest and of
nonpayment, and all pleas of division and discussion with regard to the Indebtedness. Grantor
agrees that Grantor shall remain liable together with any and all guarantors, endorsers and
sureties of the Indebtedness on a joint and several or solidary basis. Grantor further
agrees that discharge or release of any party, or extension of time for payment, or any delay
in enforcing any rights granted to Lender, will not cause Lender to lose any of its rights
under this Acknowledgment or under the Indebtedness. Grantor is also waiving any defenses that
may arise because of any action or inaction on Lenders part, including without
limitation, any failure or delay of Lender to exercise or enforce any of its rights related to
Grantors Mortgage. Grantor additionally agrees that any waiver or forbearance on Lenders part
shall be binding upon Lender only if agreed to in writing.
Grantor additionally agrees that Lenders acceptance of payments other than in accordance with
the terms of any agreement or agreements governing repayment of the Indebtedness, or Lenders
subsequent agreement to extend or modify such repayment terms, shall likewise not have the
effect of releasing Grantor, and/or of releasing the Indebtedness, and/or any other party or
parties guaranteeing payment of the Indebtedness from their respective obligations to Lender,
and/or of releasing any other collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment of the
Indebtedness. In addition, no course of dealing between Grantor and Lender, nor any failure or
delay on the part of Lender to exercise any of the rights and remedies granted under the
aforesaid provisions, or under any other agreement or agreements by and between Grantor and
Lender, shall have the effect of waiving any of Lenders rights and remedies. Any partial
exercise of any rights and remedies granted to Lender shall furthermore not constitute a waiver
of any of Lenders other rights and remedies, it being Grantors intent and agreement that
Lenders rights and remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Grantor further agrees that, upon
the occurrence of any Event of Default under the aforesaid provisions, any waiver or
forbearance on the part of Lender to pursue the rights and remedies available to Lender, shall
be binding upon Lender only to the extent that Lender specifically agrees to any such waiver or
forbearance in writing. A waiver or forbearance as to one Event of Default shall not constitute
a waiver or forbearance as to any other default.
DEFINITION OF INDEBTEDNESS EXPANDED. The word Indebtedness shall also mean and include
individually, collectively, interchangeably and without limitation, any and all present and
future loans, extensions of credit, liabilities and/or obligations of every nature and kind

CONTINUING GUARANTEE OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE. For good and valuable consideration,
Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction
of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrowers
obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and
performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor even
when Lender has not exhausted Lenders remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the
Borrowers Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Borrowers Indebtedness, this
Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Borrowers Indebtedness. Guarantor will make any payments
to Lender or its order, on demand, in same-day funds, without set-off or deduction or
counterclaim, and will otherwise perform Borrowers obligations under the Note and Related
Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantors liability is unlimited and Guarantors obligations
are continuing.
BORROWERS INDEBTEDNESS. The words Borrowers Indebtedness as used in this Guaranty
mean all of the principal amount outstanding from time to time and at any one or more times,
accrued unpaid interest thereon and all collection costs and legal expenses related thereto
permitted by law, reasonable attorneys fees, arising from any and all present and future loans,
loan advances, extensions of credit, obligations and/or liabilities that Borrower individually
or collectively or interchangeably with others, owes or will owe or incur in favor of Lender
whether direct or indirect, or by way of assignment or purchase of a participation interest, and
whether absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, liquidated
or unliquidated, due or to become due, secured or unsecured, and whether Borrower may be liable
individually, jointly or solidarily with others, whether primarily or secondarily, or as a
guarantor or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, of every nature and kind
whatsoever.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties
from Guarantor, Lenders rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall
not (unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other
guaranties. Guarantors liability will be Guarantors aggregate liability under the terms of
this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
JOINT, SEVERAL AND SOLIDARY LIABILITY. Guarantors obligations and liability under this
Guaranty shall be on a solidary or joint and several basis along with Borrower to the same
degree and extent as if Guarantor had been and/or will be a co-borrower, co-principal obligor
and/or co-maker of Borrowers Indebtedness. In the event that there is more than one Guarantor
under this Guaranty, or in the event that there are other guarantors, endorsers or sureties of
all or any portion of Borrowers Indebtedness, Guarantors obligations and liability hereunder
shall further be on a solidary or joint and several basis along with such other guarantors,
endorsers and/or sureties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY. THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTY UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO
GUARANTEE THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF
BORROWER TO LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING
BASIS. ACCORDINGLY, ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE BORROWERS INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR
DIMINISH GUARANTORS OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND
SUCCEEDING INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO
BALANCE FROM TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY. This Agreement and Guarantors obligations and liability hereunder
shall remain in full force and effect until such time as this Agreement may be cancelled or
otherwise terminated by Lender under a written cancellation instrument in favor of Guarantor
(subject to the automatic reinstatement provisions hereinbelow). It is anticipated that
fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of Borrowers Indebtedness guaranteed under this
Agreement and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Guarantor that reductions
in the amount of Borrowers Indebtedness, even to zero ($0.00) dollars, prior to Lenders
written cancellation of this Agreement, shall not constitute or give rise to a termination of
this Agreement.
CANCELLATION OF AGREEMENT; EFFECT. Unless otherwise indicated under such a written
cancellation instrument, Lenders agreement to terminate or otherwise cancel this Guaranty shall
affect only, and shall be expressly limited to, Guarantors continuing obligations and liability
to guarantee Borrowers Indebtedness incurred, originated and/or extended (without prior
commitment) after the date of such a written cancellation instrument; with Guarantor remaining
fully obligated and liable under this Guaranty for any and all of Borrowers Indebtedness
incurred, originated, extended, or committed to prior to the date of such a written cancellation
instrument. Nothing under this Guaranty or under any other agreement or understanding by
and between Guarantor and Lender, shall in any way obligate, or be construed to obligate,
Lender to agree to the subsequent termination or cancellation of Guarantors obligations and
liability hereunder; it being fully understood and agreed to by Guarantor that Lender
has and intends to continue to rely on Guarantors assets, income and financial resources in
extending credit and other Indebtedness to and in favor of Borrower, and that to release
Guarantor from Guarantors continuing obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty would so
prejudice Lender that Lender may, within its sole and uncontrolled discretion and judgment,
refuse to release Guarantor from any of Guarantors continuing obligations and liability under
this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever as long as any of Borrowers Indebtedness remains unpaid
and outstanding, or otherwise.
OBLIGATIONS OF MARRIED PERSONS. If Guarantor is married, Guarantor hereby expressly
agrees that recourse may be had against both Guarantors separate property and Guarantors
community property for all Guarantors obligations Under this Guaranty.
DEFAULT. Should any event of default occur or exist under any of Borrowers
Indebtedness, Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely agrees to pay Lender the then unpaid
amount of the Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender. Such payment or payments shall be made at
Lenders offices indicated above, immediately following demand by Lender.
GUARANTORS WAIVERS. Guarantor hereby waives:
(A) Notice of Lenders acceptance of this Guaranty.
(B) Presentment for payment of Borrowers Indebtedness, notice of dishonor and of nonpayment,
notice of intention to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest and notice of protest,
collection or institution of any suit or other action by Lender in collection thereof,
including any notice of default in payment thereof, or other notice to, or demand for payment
thereof, on any party.
(C) Any right to require Lender to notify Guarantor of any nonpayment relating to any
collateral directly or indirectly securing Borrowers Indebtedness, or notice of any action or
nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of
Borrowers Indebtedness, or notice of the creation of any new or additional Borrowers
Indebtedness subject to this Guaranty.
(D) Any rights to demand or require collateral security from the Borrower or any other person
as provided under applicable Louisiana law or otherwise.
(E) Any right to require Lender to notify Guarantor of the terms, time and place of any public
or private sale of any collateral directly or indirectly securing Borrowers Indebtedness.
(F) 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
Lenders commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, or any action in lieu of
foreclosure.
(G) Any election of remedies by Lender that may destroy or impair Guarantors subrogation
rights or Guarantors right to proceed for reimbursement against Borrower or any other
guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrowers Indebtedness, including without limitation, any
loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging
Borrowers Indebtedness.
(H) Any disability or other defense of Borrower, or any other guarantor, surety or endorser, or
any other person, or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment
in full of Borrowers Indebtedness.
COMMERCIAL GUARANTY
(Continued)
(Continued)
(I) Any statute of limitations or prescriptive period, if at the time an action or suit brought
by Lender against Guarantor is commenced, there is any outstanding Borrowers Indebtedness
which is barred by any applicable statute of limitations or prescriptive period.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantors
full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and that, under the circumstances, such
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.
GUARANTORS SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS. In the event that Guarantor should for any reason
(A) advance or lend monies to Borrower, whether or not such funds are used by Borrower to make
payment(s) under Borrowers Indebtedness, or (B) make any payment(s) to Lender or others for
and on behalf of Borrower under Borrowers Indebtedness, or (C) make any payment to Lender in
total or partial satisfaction of Borrowers obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, or
(D) if any of Borrowers property is used to pay or satisfy any of Borrowers Indebtedness,
Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all rights that Guarantor may have or acquire to collect
from or to be reimbursed by Borrower (or from or by any other guarantor, endorser or surety of
Borrowers Indebtedness), whether Guarantors rights of collection or reimbursement arise by
way of subrogation to the rights of Lender or otherwise, shall in all respects, whether or not
Borrower is presently or subsequently becomes insolvent, be subordinate, inferior and junior to
the rights of Lender to collect and enforce payment. performance and satisfaction of Borrowers
Indebtedness that then remains, until such time as Borrowers Indebtedness is fully paid and
satisfied. In the event of Borrowers insolvency or consequent liquidation of Borrowers
assets, through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary
liquidation, or otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of claims of both
Lender and Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to Borrowers
Indebtedness that then remains. Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all claims which it may have
or acquire against Borrower or any assignee or trustee of Borrower in bankruptcy; provided
that, such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full
payment of Borrowers Indebtedness guaranteed under this Guaranty.
GUARANTORS RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to
collect and/or enforce any of Guarantors collection and/or reimbursement rights against
Borrower (or against any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrowers Indebtedness),
arising by way of subrogation or otherwise, until such time as all of Borrowers Indebtedness
that then remains is fully paid and satisfied. In the event that Guarantor should for any
reason whatsoever receive any payment(s) from Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or
endorser of Borrowers Indebtedness) that Borrower (or such a third party) may owe to Guarantor
for any of the reasons stated above, Guarantor agrees to accept such payment(s) in trust for
and on behalf of Lender, advising Borrower (or the third party payee) of such fact. Guarantor
further unconditionally agrees to immediately deliver such funds to Lender, with such funds
being held by Guarantor over any interim period, in trust for Lender. In the event that
Guarantor should for any reason whatsoever receive any such funds from Borrower (or any third
party), and Guarantor should deposit such funds in one or more of Guarantors deposit accounts,
no matter where located, Lender shall have the right to attach any and all of Guarantors
deposit accounts in which such funds were deposited, whether or not such funds were commingled
with other monies of Guarantor, and whether or not such funds then remain on deposit in such an
account or accounts. To this end and to secure Guarantors obligations under this Guaranty,
Guarantor collaterally assigns and pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing
security interest in, any and all of Guarantors present and future rights, title and interest
in and to all monies that Guarantor may now and/or in the future maintain on deposit with
banks, savings and loan associations and other entities (other than tax deferred accounts with
Lender), in which Guarantor may at any time deposit any such funds that may be received from
Borrower (or any other guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrowers Indebtedness).
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. As collateral security for repayment of Guarantors obligations
hereunder and under any additional guaranties previously granted or to be granted by Guarantor
in the future, and additionally as collateral security for any present and future indebtedness
of Guarantor in favor of Lender (with the exception of any indebtedness under a consumer credit
card account), and to the extent permitted by law, Guarantor is granting Lender a continuing
security interest in any and all funds that Guarantor may now and in the future have on deposit
with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Guarantor is an
account holder (with the exception of IRA, pension, and other tax-deferred deposits). Guarantor
further agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, Lender may at any time apply any funds
that Guarantor may have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit
accounts as to which Guarantor is an account holder against the unpaid balance of any and all
other present and future obligations and indebtedness of Guarantor to Lender, in principal,
interest, fees, costs, expenses, and attorneys fees.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS. Guarantor agrees that Lender may, at its sole option, at any
time, and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, or any of them, or
to any other party, and without incurring any responsibility to Guarantor or to any other
party, and without impairing or releasing any of Guarantors obligations or liabilities under

otherwise be restored by Lender pursuant to any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization,
receivership, or any other debt relief granted to Borrower or to any other party to Borrowers
Indebtedness or any such security therefor. In the event that Lender must rescind or restore
any payment received in total or partial satisfaction of Borrowers Indebtedness, any prior

absolutely and unconditionally guarantees full and punctual payment and satisfaction of the
Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and the performance and discharge of all Borrowers
obligations under the Note and the Related Documents. This is a guaranty of payment and
performance and not of collection, so Lender can enforce this Guaranty against Guarantor
even when Lender has not exhausted Lenders remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the
Borrowers Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Borrowers Indebtedness, this
Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Borrowers Indebtedness Guarantor will make any payments

whether direct or indirect, or by way of assignment or purchase of a participation interest, and
whether absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, liquidated
or unliquidated, due or to become due, secured or unsecured, and whether Borrower may be liable
individually, jointly or solidarily with others, whether primarily or secondarily, or as a
guarantor or otherwise, and whether now existing or hereafter arising of every nature and kind
whatsoever.
If Lender presently holds one or more guaranties, or hereafter receives additional guaranties
from Guarantor, Lenders rights under all guaranties shall be cumulative. This Guaranty shall not
(unless specifically provided below to the contrary) affect or invalidate any such other

and extent as if Guarantor had been and/or will be a co-borrower,
co-principal obligor and/or
co-maker of Borrowers Indebtedness. In the event that there is more than one Guarantor under
this Guaranty, or in the event that there are other guarantors, endorsers or sureties of all or
any portion of Borrowers Indebtedness, Guarantors obligations and liability hereunder shall
further be on a solidary or joint and severer basis along with such other guarantors,
endorsers and/or sureties.
CONTINUING GUARANTY THIS IS A CONTINUING GUARANTY UNDER WHICH GUARANTOR AGREES TO GUARANTEE
THE FULL AND PUNCTUAL PAYMENT, PERFORMANCE AND SATISFACTION OF THE INDEBTEDNESS OF BORROWER TO
LENDER, NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING OR ACQUIRED, ON AN OPEN AND CONTINUING BASIS
ACCORDINGLY. ANY PAYMENTS MADE ON THE BORROWERS INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH
GUARANTORS OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY UNDER THIS GUARANTY FOR ANY REMAINING AND SUCCEEDING
INDEBTEDNESS EVEN WHEN ALL OR PART OF THE OUTSTANDING INDEBTEDNESS MAY BE A ZERO BALANCE FROM
TIME TO TIME.
DURATION OF GUARANTY This Agreement and Guarantors obligations and liability hereunder shall
remain in full force and effect until such time as this Agreement may be cancelled or otherwise
terminated by Lender under a written cancellation instrument in favor of Guarantor (subject to
the automatic reinstatement provisions hereinbelow). It is anticipated that fluctuations may
occur in the aggregate amount of Borrowers Indebtedness guaranteed under this Agreement and it
is specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Guarantor that reductions in the amount of
Borrowers Indebtedness, even to zero ($0 00) dollars, poor to Lenders written cancellation of

Lender has and intends to continue to rely on Guarantors assets, income and financial
resources in extending credit and other Indebtedness to and in favor of Borrower, and that to
release Guarantor from Guarantors continuing obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty
would so prejudice Lender that Lender may, within its sole and uncontrolled discretion and
judgment, refuse to release Guarantor from any of Guarantors continuing obligations and
liability under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever as long as any of Borrowers
Indebtedness remains unpaid and outstanding, or otherwise.

Page 20 |
(I) Any statute of limitations or prescriptive period, if at the time an action or suit brought
by Lender against Guarantor is commenced, there is any outstanding Borrowers Indebtedness which
is barred by any applicable statute of limitations or prescriptive period.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantors
full knowledge of its significance and consequences, and that, under the circumstances, such
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.
GUARANTORS SUBORDINATION OF RIGHTS. In the event that Guarantor should for any reason (A)
advance or lend monies to Borrower, whether or not such funds are used by Borrower to make
payment(s) under Borrowers Indebtedness, or (B) make any payment(s) to Lender or others for and
on behalf of Borrower under Borrowers Indebtedness, or (C) make any payment to Lender in total
or partial satisfaction of Borrowers obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, or (D) if
any of Borrowers property is used to pay or satisfy any of Borrowers Indebtedness, Guarantor
hereby agrees that any and all rights that Guarantor may have or acquire to collect from or to be
reimbursed by Borrower (or from or by any other guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrowers
Indebtedness), whether Guarantors rights of collection or
reimbursement are by way of
subrogation to the rights of Lender or otherwise, shall in all respects, whether or not Borrower
is presently or subsequently becomes insolvent, be subordinate,
inferior and junior to the rights
of Lender to collect and enforce payment, performance and satisfaction of Borrowers
Indebtedness that then remains, until such time as Borrowers Indebtedness is fully paid and
satisfied In the event of Borrowers insolvency or consequent liquidation of Borrowers assets,
through bankruptcy, by an assignment for the benefit of creditors, by voluntary liquidation, or
otherwise, the assets of Borrower applicable to the payment of claims of both Lender and
Guarantor shall be paid to Lender and shall be first applied by Lender to Borrowers
Indebtedness that then remains. Guarantor hereby assigns to Lender all claims which it may have
or acquire against Borrower or any assignee or trustee of Borrower in bankruptcy, provided that,
such assignment shall be effective only for the purpose of assuring to Lender full payment of
Borrowers Indebtedness guaranteed under this Guaranty.
GUARANTORS RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to collect
and/or enforce any of Guarantors collection and/or
reimbursement rights against Borrower (or
against any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrowers Indebtedness), arising by way of
subrogation or otherwise, until such time as all of Borrowers Indebtedness that then remains is
fully paid and satisfied. In the event that Guarantor should for any reason whatsoever receive
any payment(s) from Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrowers
Indebtedness) that Borrower (or such a third party) may owe to Guarantor for any of the reasons
stated above, Guarantor agrees to accept such payment(s) in trust for and on behalf of Lender,
advising Borrower (or the third party payee) of such fact Guarantor further
unconditionally agrees to immediately deliver such funds to Lender, with such funds being held
by Guarantor over any interim period, in trust for Lender In the event that Guarantor should for
any reason whatsoever receive any such funds from Borrower (or any third party), and Guarantor
should deposit such funds in one or more of Guarantors deposit accounts, no matter where
located, Lender shall have the right to attach any and all of Guarantors deposit accounts in
which such funds were deposited, whether or not such funds were commingled with other monies of
Guarantor, and whether or not such funds then remain on deposit in such an account or accounts.
To this end and to secure Guarantors obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor collaterally
assigns and pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, any and
all of Guarantors present and future rights, title and interest in and to all monies that
Guarantor may now and/or in the future maintain on deposit with banks, savings and loan
associations and other entities (other than tax deferred accounts with Lender), in which
Guarantor may at any time deposit any such funds that may be received from Borrower (or any
other guarantor, endorser or surety of Borrowers Indebtedness).
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. As collateral security for repayment of Guarantors obligations hereunder and
under any additional guaranties previously granted or to be granted by Guarantor in the future,
and additionally as collateral security for any present and future indebtedness of Guarantor in
favor of Lender (with the exception of any indebtedness under a consumer credit card account),
and to the extent permitted by law, Guarantor is granting Lender a continuing security interest
in any and all funds that Guarantor may now and in the future have on deposit with Lender or in
certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Guarantor is an account holder
(with the exception of IRA, pension and other tax-deferred deposits) Guarantor further agrees
that, to the extent permitted by law. Lender may at any time apply any funds that Guarantor may
have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which
Guarantor is an account holder against the unpaid balance of any and all other present and
future obligations and indebtedness of Guarantor to Lender, in principal, interest, fees, costs,
expenses, and attorneys fees.
ADDITIONAL COVENANTS Guarantor agrees that Lender may, at its sole option, at any time, and from
time to time, without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, or any of them, or to any other
party, and without incurring any responsibility to Guarantor or to any other party, and without
impairing or releasing any of Guarantors obligations or liabilities under this Guaranty.
