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 Lender’s demand. If no demand is made, Borrower will pay this loan in 240 payments of $6,837.49 each payment. Borrower’s first payment is due April 9, 2007, and all subsequent payments are due on the same day of each month after that. Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s obligation to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal balance due and may result in Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 in full, as follows: (A) If the original principal amount of this Note is $250,000 or less, the fixed default interest rate shall be equal to eighteen (18%) percent per annum, or three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the interest rate under this Note, whichever is greater. (B) If the original principal amount of this Note is more than $250,000, the fixed default interest rate shall be equal to twenty-one (21%) percent per annum, or three (3%) percent per annum in excess of the interest rate under this Note at the time of default, whichever is greater.

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 Borrower’s check or electronic payment is returned to Lender unpaid due to non-sufficient funds in Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s monthly payments upwards or downwards to ensure Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Lender’s acceptance of payment other than in accordance with the terms of this Note, or Lender’s subsequent agreement to extend or modify such repayment terms, or Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s intent and agreement that Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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 Lender’s 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 Borrower’s failure to make timely payment of amounts due under this Note will result in damages to Lender, including but not limited to Lender’s 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.

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 Grantor’s Mortgage was intended to and shall secure any and all of Grantor’s present and future Indebtedness in favor of Lender, as may be outstanding from time to time, one or more times, including Grantor’s 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 Lender’s part, including without limitation, any failure or delay of Lender to exercise or enforce any of its rights related to Grantor’s Mortgage. Grantor additionally agrees that any waiver or forbearance on Lender’s part shall be binding upon Lender only if agreed to in writing.
Grantor additionally agrees that Lender’s acceptance of payments other than in accordance with the terms of any agreement or agreements governing repayment of the Indebtedness, or Lender’s 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 Lender’s rights and remedies. Any partial exercise of any rights and remedies granted to Lender shall furthermore not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s other rights and remedies, it being Grantor’s intent and agreement that Lender’s 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 whatsoever that Borrower, and/or Grantor if Borrower and Grantor are not the same party, may now and in the future owe to or incur in favor of Lender and its successors or assigns, including without limitation, indebtedness under any Note described herein, whether such loans, extensions of credit liabilities and/or obligation are direct or indirect, or by way of assignment, and whether related or unrelated, or whether committed or purely discretionary, and whether absolute or contingent, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, together with interest, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees and other fees and charges, whether or not any such indebtedness may be barred under any statute of limitations or may be otherwise unenforceable or voidable for any reason.

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 Borrower’s 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 Lender’s remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Borrower’s Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Borrower’s Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s obligations under the Note and Related Documents. Under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability is unlimited and Guarantor’s obligations are continuing.
BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS. The words “Borrower’s 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, Lender’s 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. Guarantor’s liability will be Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
JOINT, SEVERAL AND SOLIDARY LIABILITY. Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness, Guarantor’s 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 BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR’S 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 Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Agreement and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Guarantor that reductions in the amount of Borrower’s Indebtedness, even to zero ($0.00) dollars, prior to Lender’s 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, Lender’s agreement to terminate or otherwise cancel this Guaranty shall affect only, and shall be expressly limited to, Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liability to guarantee Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder; it being fully understood and agreed to by Guarantor that Lender has and intends to continue to rely on Guarantor’s assets, income and financial resources in extending credit and other Indebtedness to and in favor of Borrower, and that to release Guarantor from Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liability under this Guaranty for any reason whatsoever as long as any of Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s separate property and Guarantor’s community property for all Guarantor’s obligations Under this Guaranty.
DEFAULT. Should any event of default occur or exist under any of Borrower’s 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 Lender’s offices indicated above, immediately following demand by Lender.
GUARANTOR’S WAIVERS. Guarantor hereby waives:
(A) Notice of Lender’s acceptance of this Guaranty.
(B) Presentment for payment of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness, or notice of any action or nonaction on the part of Borrower, Lender, or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness, or notice of the creation of any new or additional Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Lender’s 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 Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s right to proceed for reimbursement against Borrower or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness.

 


 

COMMERCIAL GUARANTY
(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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s 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.
GUARANTOR’S 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness, or (B) make any payment(s) to Lender or others for and on behalf of Borrower under Borrower’s Indebtedness, or (C) make any payment to Lender in total or partial satisfaction of Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, or (D) if any of Borrower’s property is used to pay or satisfy any of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness), whether Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness that then remains, until such time as Borrower’s Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied. In the event of Borrower’s insolvency or consequent liquidation of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Guaranty.
GUARANTOR’S RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to collect and/or enforce any of Guarantor’s collection and/or reimbursement rights against Borrower (or against any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness), arising by way of subrogation or otherwise, until such time as all of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s deposit accounts, no matter where located, Lender shall have the right to attach any and all of Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor collaterally assigns and pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all of Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness).
DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS. As collateral security for repayment of Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s obligations or liabilities under this Guaranty:
(A) Make additional secured and/or unsecured loans to Borrower.
(B) Discharge, release or agree not to sue any party (including, but not limited to, Borrower or any other guarantor, surety, or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness), who is or may be liable to Lender for any of Borrower’s Indebtedness.
(C) Sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon, or otherwise deal with, in any manner and in any order, any collateral directly or indirectly securing repayment of any of Borrower’s Indebtedness.

(E) Settle or compromise any of Borrower’s Indebtedness.
(F) Subordinate and/or agree to subordinate the payment of all or any part of Borrower’s Indebtedness, or Lender’s security rights in any collateral directly or indirectly securing any such Borrower’s Indebtedness, to the payment and/or security rights of any other present and/or future creditors of Borrower.
(G) Apply any payments and/or proceeds to any of Borrower’s Indebtedness in such priority or with such preferences as Lender may determine in its sole discretion, regardless of which of Borrower’s Indebtedness then remains unpaid.
(H) Take or accept any other collateral security or guaranty for any or all of Borrower’s Indebtedness.
(I) Enter into, deliver, modify, amend, or waive compliance with, any instrument or arrangement evidencing, securing or otherwise affecting, all or any part of Borrower’s Indebtedness.
NO IMPAIRMENT OF GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS. No course of dealing between Lender and Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness), nor any failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty or any other agreement or agreements by and between Lender and Borrower (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser), shall have the effect of impairing or releasing Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities to Lender, or of waiving any of Lender’s rights and remedies under this Guaranty or otherwise. Any partial exercise of any rights and remedies granted to Lender shall furthermore not constitute a waiver of any of Lender’s other rights and remedies; it being Guarantor’s intent and agreement that Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative in nature. Guarantor further agrees that, should Borrower default under any of Borrower’s Indebtedness, any waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender to pursue Lender’s available rights and remedies shall be binding upon Lender only to the extent that Lender specifically agrees to such waiver or forbearance in writing. A waiver or forbearance on the part of Lender as to one event of default shall not constitute a waiver or forbearance as to any other default.
NO RELEASE OF GUARANTOR. Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty shall not be released, impaired, reduced, or otherwise affected by, and shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of any event, including without limitation any one or more of the following events:
(A) The death, insolvency, bankruptcy, arrangement, adjustment, composition, liquidation, disability, dissolution, or lack of authority (whether corporate, partnership or trust) of Borrower (or any person acting on Borrower’s behalf), or of any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s Indebtedness.

In the event that Lender must rescind or restore any payment received in total or partial satisfaction of Borrower’s Indebtedness, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor shall be without effect, and this Guaranty and Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall automatically and retroactively be renewed and/or reinstated and shall remain in full force and effect to the same degree and extent as if such a release or discharge had never been granted. It is the intention of Lender and Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s full and complete performance and satisfaction of

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 Borrower’s 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 Lender’s remedies against anyone else obligated to pay the Borrower’s Indebtedness or against any collateral securing the Borrowers Indebtedness, this Guaranty or any other guaranty of the Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s obligations under the Note and Related Documents Under this Guaranty, Guarantor’s liability is unlimited and Guarantor’s obligations are continuing.
BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS. The words “Borrower’s Indebtedness” as used in this Guaranty mean at 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 Guarantor’s liability will be Guarantor’s aggregate liability under the terms of this Guaranty and any such other unterminated guaranties.
JOINT, SEVERAL AND SOLIDARY LIABILITY. Guarantor’s obligations and liability under this Guaranty shall be on a “solider),” 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, Guarantor’s 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 BORROWER’S INDEBTEDNESS WILL NOT DISCHARGE OR DIMINISH GUARANTOR’S 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 Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Agreement and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed to by Guarantor that reductions in the amount of Borrower’s Indebtedness, even to zero ($0 00) dollars, poor 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, Lender’s agreement to terminate or otherwise cancel this Guaranty shall affect only, and shall be expressly limited to, Guarantor’s continuing obligations and liability to guarantee Borrower’s Indebtedness incurred, originated and/or extended (without poor 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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s obligations and liability hereunder, it being fully understood and agreed to by Guarantor that Lender has and intends to continue to rely on Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s 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 named, Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that recourse may be had against both Guarantor’s separate property and Guarantor’s community property for all Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.

  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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s 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.
GUARANTOR’S 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s obligations and liabilities under this Guaranty, or (D) if any of Borrower’s property is used to pay or satisfy any of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness), whether Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness that then remains, until such time as Borrower’s Indebtedness is fully paid and satisfied In the event of Borrower’s insolvency or consequent liquidation of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness guaranteed under this Guaranty.
GUARANTOR’S RECEIPT OF PAYMENTS. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to collect and/or enforce any of Guarantor’s collection and/or reimbursement rights against Borrower (or against any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Borrower’s 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 Borrower’s 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 Guarantor’s deposit accounts, no matter where located, Lender shall have the right to attach any and all of Guarantor’s 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 Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, Guarantor collaterally assigns and pledges to Lender, and grants to Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all of Guarantor’s 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 Borrower’s Indebtedness).
