all of the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Lease and Schedule, the following terms
and provisions shall apply to each unit of Vehicular Equipment.
(a) Lessee shall not use Vehicular Equipment, nor allow the same to be used, for any unlawful

material normally needed and used in Lessees business, and Vehicular Equipment shall be operated
only by safe, careful and licensed drivers to be selected, employed, controlled, and paid by
Lessee;
(b) Lessees drivers shall conclusively be presumed to be the agents of Lessee, shall be required
to operate Vehicular Equipment with reasonable care and diligence and to use normal reasonable
precautions to prevent loss or damage to Vehicular Equipment because of fire, theft, or collision,

TAX INDEMNIFICATION RIDER
THIS RIDER is annexed to Lease Schedule No. 61 (the Lease Schedule) to the Equipment
Leasing Agreement dated as of October 2, 2001 (the Lease), between Capital One, National
Association (Lessor) and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. (Lessee).
Lessor has executed the Lease Schedule on the basis of Lessors assumptions that, with respect to
each Item of Equipment described in the Lease Schedule (an Item of Schedule Equipment or Item)
Lessor will (i) be entitled to cost recovery deductions for Federal income tax purposes under the
Accelerated Cost Recovery System provided for in Section 168 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986,
as in effect on the date of the Lease Schedule (the Code), and depreciation or cost recovery
deductions for state income tax purposes for the State of Louisiana based upon one hundred percent
(100%) of the Acquisition Cost of each Item of Schedule Equipment and on the basis that each such
Item shall have the applicable recovery period and property classification, and that Lessor will
be entitled to use the applicable method of depreciation and depreciation convention (the
Recovery Deduction), and be entitled to deductions for Federal and Louisiana income tax purposes
for interest payable with respect to any indebtedness incurred by Lessor in connection with any
financing by Lessor of any portion of the Acquisition Cost of such Item (the Interest
Deduction), and (ii) be subject to tax for each year, including any year in which a Tax Loss
(hereinafter defined) occurs, be at a composite Federal and state corporate income tax rate that
is equal to the highest marginal rate for corporations provided for under the Code and the laws of
Louisiana (the Highest Composite Marginal Tax Rate). If, for any reason whatsoever, Lessor shall
lose the benefit of, or shall not have or shall lose the right to claim, or shall suffer a
disallowance or recapture of, or delay in claiming, all or any portion of the Recovery Deduction
or (if Lessor finances any portion of its Acquisition Cost) the Interest Deduction, with respect to
any Item of Schedule Equipment, or for Federal, foreign, state or local income tax purposes, any
item of income, loss or deduction with respect to any Item of Schedule Equipment is treated as
derived from, or allocable to, sources outside the United States (whether or not any foreign
income taxes imposed as a result thereof may be credited against Federal, state or local income
taxes of Lessor), or there shall be included in the gross income of Lessor for Federal, state or
local income tax purposes any amount on account of any addition, modification or improvement to or
in respect of any Item of Schedule Equipment made or paid for by Lessee (any such loss, failure to
have or loss of the right to claim, disallowance, recapture, delay in claiming, treatment or
inclusion being hereinafter called a Tax Loss), then, within thirty (30) days of Lessees
receipt of written notice from Lessor that a Tax Loss has occurred. Lessee shall pay to Lessor
such lump sum amount as shall (after deduction of all taxes required to be paid by Lessor in
respect of the receipt or accrual of such payment under the laws of the United States, any state
or any political subdivision thereof or any foreign taxing authority) be necessary to maintain
Lessors after-tax yield and aggregate after-tax cash flows in respect of such Item at levels
which are each not less than the levels of Lessors after-tax yield and aggregate after-tax cash
flows that would have been applicable if such Tax Loss had not occurred, and Lessee shall also pay
to Lessor an amount which, after the deduction of any additional taxes required to be paid by
Lessor in respect of the receipt or accrual of such amount, shall be equal to the amount of any
interest, penalty or additions to tax which may be imposed in connection with such Tax Loss.
Lessors after-tax yield and aggregate after-tax cash flows shall be determined by taking into
account (i) the assumptions used by Lessor in originally calculating rent and Casualty Loss Value
percentages, including the assumptions set forth above (as such assumptions may have been revised
pursuant to the next sentence hereof) and (ii) the Highest Composite Marginal Tax Rate actually in
effect during each year from the date of such original calculations to the date of such Tax Loss,
both dates inclusive. In the event Lessor shall suffer a Tax Loss with respect to which Lessee is
required to pay an indemnity hereunder, and the full amount of such indemnity has been paid or
provided for hereunder, the aforesaid assumptions, without further act of the parties hereto,
shall thereupon be and be deemed to be amended, if and to the extent appropriate, to reflect such
Tax Loss. In the event any indemnity payments shall be paid to Lessor under this Rider with
respect to any Item(s) of Schedule Equipment, the Casualty Loss Values (and, if applicable,
Termination Values) of such Item(s) shall be adjusted appropriately. The indemnification
obligations of Lessee under this Rider shall survive the expiration or termination of the Lease
and the lease term of each Item of Schedule Equipment. As used herein, the term Lessor will
include any corporation consolidated with Lessor for tax purposes (and, if Lessor is a
partnership, the partners thereof) and their respective successor(s) in interest and assigns. All
capitalized terms used herein which are not defined herein shall have the meaning given to such
terms in the Lease.

TERMINAL RENTAL ADJUSTMENT RIDER
THIS RIDER, is annexed to, and made a part of Lease
Schedule No. 61 (the Schedule) to
the Equipment Leasing Agreement dated as of October 2, 2001 (the Lease), between Capital
One, National Association (Lessor) and Francis Drilling Fluids, Ltd. (Lessee). All
capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Lease.
Lessee hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
1. During the
ninety (90) day period immediately prior to the last day of the lease
term of each Item of Equipment then subject to this Lease, Lessee shall have the obligation to
obtain bona fide bids for the purchase of such Item of Equipment from prospective purchasers
who are financially capable of purchasing such Item of Equipment for cash on an AS-IS WHERE-IS
basis, without recourse or warranty whatsoever, including any warranty against latent, hidden,
and/or redhibitory defects. Lessor may also, but shall not be obligated to, obtain such bids
during such period.
All bids received by Lessor or Lessee prior to the end of the lease term of each such
Item of Equipment shall be immediately certified to the other party in writing, setting forth
the amount of such bid and the name and address of the person or entity submitting such bid.
No later than the last day of the lease term of each such Item of Equipment, Lessee shall
deliver such Item of Equipment to the bidder, if any, who shall have submitted such highest
bid, and Lessor shall simultaneously therewith sell (or cause to be sold) for cash on an
AS-IS WHERE-IS basis and without recourse or warranty whatsoever, including any warranty
against latent, hidden, and/or redhibitory defects, such Item of Equipment to such bidder.
The total selling price realized from the sale of any such Item of Equipment shall be
retained by Lessor. If the Net Proceeds of Sale (hereinafter defined) of any such Item of
Equipment are less than the Estimated Residual Value (hereinafter defined) of such Item,
Lessee shall, on the last day of the lease term of such Item, pay to Lessor, in immediately
available funds, an amount equal to such deficiency as an adjustment to the rent payable
under this Lease for such Item. If the Net Proceeds of Sale of any such Item of Equipment are
more than the Estimated Residual Value of such Item, Lessor shall, on the last day of the
lease term of such Item, pay to Lessee an amount equal to such excess as an adjustment to the
Rent payable under this Lease for such term. As used herein, the term Net Proceeds or Sale
means, with respect to each Item of Equipment sold by Lessor, the net amount of the proceeds
of sale of such Item, after deducting from the gross proceeds of such sale (i) all sales
taxes and other taxes (excluding income taxes on or measured by Lessors income) as may be
applicable to the sale or transfer of such Item, (ii) all fees, costs and expenses of such
sale incurred by Lessor, and (iii) any other amounts for which, if not paid, Lessor would be
liable or which, if not paid, would constitute a lien on such Item. As used herein the term
Estimated Residual Value means, with respect to each Item of Equipment, an amount equal to
twenty five percent (25%) of the Acquisition Cost of such Item. Lessee shall pay to Lessor,
or Lessor shall pay to Lessee, as the case may be, the amount by which the rent for each Item
of Equipment is adjusted under this paragraph simultaneously with the sale thereof to the
purchaser of such Item. Lessors obligation to sell (or cause to be sold) any Item of
Equipment is contingent upon the receipt of the amount, if any, payable by Lessee with
respect thereto pursuant to the sixth sentence of this paragraph. In the event no bids are
received for an Item of Equipment during the ninety (90) day period referred to in the first
sentence of this paragraph, Lessee and Lessor agree, in view of the uncertainties of market
conditions and the parties inability to predict what the actual sale price of such Item of
Equipment would be, that the actual fair market value of such Item of Equipment shall be
deemed to equal zero for purposes solely of the rental adjustment set forth herein, and
Lessee shall on the last day of the lease term of such Item pay to Lessor in cash an amount
equal to the Estimated Residual Value of such Item as an adjustment to the rent payable under
this Lease for such Item, and Lessee shall promptly return such Item of Equipment to Lessor
upon the expiration of the lease term thereof in accordance with the provisions of Section 6
of this Lease; provided, however, that if and when Lessor sells such Item of Equipment, the
Net Proceeds of sale of such Item of Equipment actually received by Lessor shall be deemed
the actual fair market value of such Item of Equipment, and the aforesaid rental adjustment
shall be recomputed with respect to such Item and made on such basis, without interest.
2. Lessee hereby covenants to Lessor and agrees that it will characterize the relationship
herein established as a lease and will treat it as such for all purposes and it shall not
utilize or claim or attempt to utilize or claim any tax benefits with respect to the Equipment
for any purposes whatsoever.

CONTINUING GUARANTY
This Continuing Guaranty (this Agreement), is dated November 18, 2008. The undersigned
(hereinafter, whether one or more, individually referred to as Guarantor), guarantees the
Indebtedness (hereinafter defined) of Francis Drilling Fluids, LTD. (hereinafter, whether one or
more, individually and collectively referred to as Lessee) to Capital One, National Association,
Post Office Box 61540, New Orleans, Louisiana 70161 (hereinafter Lessor).
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of and for credit and financial accommodations
extended, to be extended or continued, to or for the account of Lessee, the undersigned Guarantor,
whether one or more, hereby jointly, severally and solidarily, agrees as follows:
1. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Lessor the prompt, complete and
punctual payment, full performance, observance and satisfaction of any and all loans, extensions of
credit and/or other obligations and duties that Lessee may now and/or in the future owe to and/or
incur in favor and for the benefit of Lessor, including but not limited to the punctual payment of
all rents due and payable and the performance of any and all obligations and duties of Lessee under
any and all Equipment Leasing Agreement(s) by and between Lessor, as Lessor, and Lessee, as Lessee
(any and all such Equipment Leasing Agreement(s), together with any and all Riders, Schedules,
Addenda, Purchase Orders, Individual Leasing Records and/or other documentation ancillary thereto
are hereinafter collectively referred to as Lease) whether such indebtedness and/or obligations
are direct or indirect, or by way of assignment, and whether such indebtedness and/or obligations
are absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, due or to become due, secured or unsecured,
and whether now or hereafter arising, of any nature or kind whatsoever (with all of Lessees
indebtedness and/or obligations being hereinafter individually and collectively referred to under
this Agreement as the Indebtedness). GUARANTOR FURTHER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS
LESSOR FROM ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, COSTS OF
COURT AND ATTORNEYS FEES INCURRED BY LESSOR) IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFAULT BY GUARANTOR OF HIS
OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.)
If Lessor agrees, and notwithstanding any other provision contained herein to the contrary,
the maximum principal amount of Lessees Indebtedness in favor of Lessor guaranteed by Guarantor
under this Agreement is limited to Four Hundred Forty Seven Thousand, Seven Hundred Seventeen
Dollars and Twenty Cents ($447,717.20) DOLLARS Notwithstanding the limitation on principal set
forth above, interest, costs and attorneys fees under Lessees Indebtedness are fully guaranteed
hereunder.
2. Guarantor agrees that Guarantors obligations and liabilities for the prompt and punctual
payment, performance and satisfaction of all of Lessees Indebtedness shall be on a joint and
several and solidary basis along with Lessee to the same degree and extent as if Guarantor had
been or will be a co-borrower, co-principal obligor and/or co-maker of all of Lessees Indebtedness.
In the event that there is more than one guarantor under this Agreement, or in the event that
there are other guarantors, endorsers or sureties of all or any portion of Lessees Indebtedness,
Guarantors obligations and liabilities hereunder shall be on a joint and several and solidary
basis along with such other guarantor or guarantors, endorsers and/or
sureties. Guarantor further
agrees that in any right of action which shall accrue to Lessor with respect to Lessees
Indebtedness or under this Agreement, Lessor may, at its option, proceed against Lessee alone
(without having made any prior demand upon Guarantor or having commenced any action against
Guarantor or having obtained or having attempted to satisfy any judgment against Guarantor) or may
proceed against Guarantor and Lessee, jointly, severally and solidarily, or may proceed against
Guarantor alone (without having made any prior demand upon Lessee or having commenced any action
against Lessee or having obtained or having attempted to satisfy any judgment against Lessee). With
the exception only of the defense of prior performance by Lessee (of Lessees Indebtedness which
Guarantor is called upon to perform) or the defense that Lessors claim against Guarantor hereunder
has prescribed or is barred by the applicable statute of limitations or is not within the scope of
Lessees Indebtedness, all defenses of the law of guaranty, indemnification and surety, including,
without limitation, substantive defenses and procedural defenses, are hereby waived and released by
Guarantor. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, under no circumstances shall the
liability of Guarantor under this Agreement be terminated either with respect to any period of time
when the liability of Lessee under the Lease continues or with respect to any circumstances as to
which the liability of Lessee has not been fully discharged by performance.
3. Guarantors obligations and liabilities under this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect until such time as all of Lessees Indebtedness has been paid, performed and/or satisfied in
full, in principal, interest, costs and attorneys fees, or until such time as this Agreement may be
cancelled or otherwise terminated by Lessor under a written cancellation
instrument in favor of Guarantor. Guarantor understands that fluctuations might occur in the
aggregate amount of Lessees Indebtedness, and Guarantor agrees that reductions in the amount of
Lessees Indebtedness, even to zero ($0.00) dollars, prior to Lessors written cancellation of this
Agreement, will not constitute a termination of this Agreement. Guarantor expressly agrees that the
validity of this Agreement and Guarantors obligations hereunder shall in no way be terminated,
affected, or impaired by reason of the assertion by Lessor against Lessee of any of the rights and
remedies reserved to Lessor under the Lease or otherwise at law or in equity as a result of
Lessees breach of any of its obligations under the Lease. Guarantor further covenants and agrees
that this Agreement and the full liability of Guarantor hereunder shall remain and continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of any one or more of the following types of
transactions (whether or not Guarantor shall have received any notice of or consented to any such
transaction): (i) any modification or amendment of the Lease; (ii) any assignment or transfer of the
Lease by Lessor; (iii) any assignment or transfer by Lessee as permitted under the Lease; (iv) any
dissolution of Lessee; or (v) the fact that Lessee may be a
party to any merger, consolidation or
reorganization.
4. In the event Lessee defaults under any of Lessees Indebtedness in favor of Lessor, Guarantor
unconditionally and absolutely agrees to pay the full then unpaid amount of all of Lessees
Indebtedness guaranteed hereunder, including

Cont. Gty.
Hibernia ELF #15 (2/98)
Cont. Gty.
Hibernia ELF #15 (2/98)
principal, interest, costs and attorneys fees, and Guarantor hereby makes himself and agrees
to be fully, primarily and personally liable to Lessor for any and all of Lessees Indebtedness.
Such payment or payments shall be made immediately following demand by Lessor at Lessors office
indicated above. Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of any
Indebtedness to which this Agreement applies or may apply. Guarantor further waives presentment and
demand for payment of Lessees 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 Lessor in collection thereof, including any notice of
default in payment thereof or other notice to, or demand for payment
thereof on any party. Guarantor
additionally waives any and all rights and division and discussion as provided under Louisiana
law, as well as, to the degree applicable, any similar rights as may be provided under the laws of
any other state.
5. If Guarantor should for any reason (i) advance or lend monies to Lessee for any reason
whatsoever, and/or (ii) make any payment for and on behalf of Lessee under any of Lessees
Indebtedness, and/or (iii) make any payment to Lessor in total or partial satisfaction of Guarantors
obligations and liabilities hereunder, Guarantor hereby agrees that any and all rights that
Guarantor may have or acquire to collect or to be reimbursed by Lessee (or by any guarantor,
endorser or surety of Lessees Indebtedness), shall in all respects be subordinate, inferior and
junior to Lessors rights to collect and enforce payment, performance and satisfaction of Lessees
then remaining Indebtedness, until such time as all of Lessees Indebtedness is fully paid and
satisfied. Guarantor further agrees to refrain from attempting to collect and/or enforce any of
Guarantors aforesaid rights against Lessee (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser of Lessees
Indebtedness), arising by way of subrogation or otherwise, until such time as all of Lessees then
remaining Indebtedness in favor of Lessor is fully paid and satisfied, including principal,
interest, costs and attorneys fees. Guarantor agrees that
Guarantor shall have no right of
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity, whatsoever and no right of recourse to or with respect to
any assets or property of Lessee or to any collateral securing the Indebtedness even upon payment in
full of the Indebtedness.
6. Guarantor further agrees that Lessor may, at its sole option, at any time, and from time to time,
without the consent of or notice to Guarantor, or any one of them, or by any other party, and
without impairing or releasing the obligations of Guarantor under
this Agreement: (i) discharge or
release any party (including, but not limited to, Lessee or any co-lessee or any guarantor under
this Agreement) who is or may be liable to Lessor for any of
Lessees Indebtedness; (ii) 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
Lessees Indebtedness; (iii)
change the manner, place or terms of payment, or change or extend the time of payment of or
renew, as often and for such periods as Lessor may determine, or alter, any of Lessees
Indebtedness; (iv) settle or compromise any of Lessees Indebtedness; (v) subordinate and/or agree
to subordinate the payment of all or any part of Lessees Indebtedness or Lessors security rights
in and/or to any collateral directly or indirectly securing any such Indebtedness to the payment
and/or security rights of any other present and/or future creditors of Lessee; (vi) apply any sums
paid to any of Lessees Indebtedness, with such payments being applied in such priority or with
such preferences as Lessor may determine in its sole discretion, regardless of any amount of
Indebtedness of Lessee remaining outstanding; (vii) take or accept any other security or guaranty
for any or all of Lessees Indebtedness and/or (viii) enter into, deliver, modify, amend or waive
compliance with, any instrument or arrangement evidencing, securing or otherwise affecting, all or
any part of Lessees Indebtedness, including but not limited to any Lease.
In addition, no course of dealing between Lessor and Lessee (or any other guarantor, surety
or endorser of Lessees Indebtedness), nor any failure or delay on the part of Lessor to exercise
any of Lessors rights and remedies under any Lease, or any other agreement or agreements by and
between Lessor and Lessee (or any other guarantor, surety or endorser) shall have the effect of
impairing or releasing Guarantors obligations and liabilities to Lessor hereunder or of waiving
any of Lessors rights and remedies under this Agreement or otherwise. The stated rights and
remedies of Lessor under this Agreement against Guarantor with respect to the liability of
Guarantor for Lessees Indebtedness shall be understood as not excluding any other legal or
equitable rights and remedies of Lessor against Guarantor not expressly set forth herein, but
shall be understood as being cumulative of all other legal and equitable rights and remedies of
Lessor not expressly stated herein.
This Agreement and Guarantors obligations and liabilities hereunder shall continue to be
effective, and/or shall automatically and retroactively be reinstated if a release or discharge
has occurred, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or apt hereof to Lessor with respect
to any of Lessees Indebtedness is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by Lessor pursuant to
any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership, or any other debt relief granted to
Lessee or to any other party.
7.
Guarantor agrees that, in the event Lessor, in its sole discretion, deems it necessary to
commence a collection action to enforce Guarantors obligations and liabilities under this
Agreement, Lessor may commence such a civil action against Guarantor without the necessity of first
(i) attempting to collect Lessees Indebtedness from Lessee or from any other guarantor, surety or
endorser, (ii) attempting to exercise remedies against any collateral directly or indirectly secung
repayment of any of Lessees Indebtedness, or (iii) including Lessee or any other guarantor, surety
or endorser of any of Lessees Indebtedness as an additional party defendant in such a collection
action against Guarantor. In the event Lessor, in its sole discretion, ever refers this Agreement
to an attorney-at-law to enforce Guarantors obligations and liabilities hereunder, or to protect or
preserve Lessors rights hereunder. Guarantor (and each or them, on a joint, several and solidary
basis) agrees to reimburse Lessor for the reasonable fees of such an attorney. Guarantor
additionally agrees that Lessor shall not be liable for failure to use diligence in the collection
of any of Lessees Indebtedness or any collateral security therefor, or in creating or preserving
the liability of any person liable on any such Indebtedness, or in
creating, perfecting or
preserving any security for any such Indebtedness.
8. Guarantor represents and warrants to Lessor that (i) Guarantor will receive a direct or indirect
material benefit from the transactions contemplated herein and/or arising out of Lessees
Indebtedness; and (ii) this Agreement, when executed and delivered by Guarantor, will constitute a
valid, legal and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms. All
actions and consents required to be performed, obtained and/or satisfied prior to the execution and
delivery of this Agreement, in order for this Agreement to be a valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor in accordance with its terms, have been performed, obtained and satisfied in due and strict
compliance with all applicable laws.

time, duly execute and

Lessor with annual financial statements, tax returns and other financial statements and related
information at such frequencies and in such detail as Lessor may

12. Any notice required under this Agreement will be considered as given to Guarantor on the day
Lessor hand delivers the notice to Guarantor, or deposits such notice in the United States mail
postage prepaid to the address of Guarantor stated herein, or to such other address delivered in
writing to Lessor by Guarantor. Nothing in this paragraph shall be deemed to require any notice
by Lessor to Guarantor.
13. No amendment, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent
to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless
the same shall be in writing
signed by a duly authorized officer of Lessor, and then shall be effective only to the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Receipt by Lessor of any monetary sum or
acceptance of any obligation of Lessee under the Lease with knowledge of the breach of any
provision of the Lease shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach. Waiver by Lessor of any right
of Lessor against Lessee under the Lease shall not constitute a wavier against Guarantor or in any
other way inure to the benefit of Guarantor.
14. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
Louisiana, and all matters relating to this Agreement and the covenants, duties and obligations
of Guarantor under this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of
the State of Louisiana.
15. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal invalid or unenforceable under present

LIMITED TO THE CIVIL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE PARISH OF ORLEANS, STATE
OF LOUISIANA, OR THE UNITED
STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA, AT
LESSORS OPTION.
17. Guarantor agrees that in the event Lessee shall become insolvent or shall be adjudicated
bankrupt, or shall file a petition for reorganization, arrangement or other relief under any
present or future provisions of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or if such a petition is
filed by creditors of Lessee, or if Lessee shall seek judicial readjustment of the rights of its
creditors under any present or future federal or state law, or if a receiver for all or a part of
Lessees property and assets is appointed by any state or federal court, no such proceeding or
action taken therein shall modify, diminish, or in any way affect the liability of Guarantor under
this Agreement, and no rejection and/or termination of the Lease in any of the proceedings
referred to in this paragraph 17 shall be effective to release and/or terminate the continuing
liability of Guarantor to Lessor under this Agreement with respect to Lessees Indebtedness
unaffected by any such rejection and/or
termination in such proceedings.
18. All
past due amounts owing by Guarantor to Lessor hereunder shall bear interest, until paid, at
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest allowed from time to time
by law as is now, or to the
extent allowed by law, as may hereafter be, in effect.
