3. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected or released in any way, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of legality, validity, enforceability or binding effect of the Credit Agreement, any other Transaction Document or other agreement or instrument relating thereto;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Indebtedness or of any of the Transaction Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document including, without limitation, any increase in the Indebtedness or other obligations under the Transaction Documents resulting from the extension of additional credit to Borrower or otherwise;

8. Except as may otherwise be required by NRS Sections 40.475 and 40.485 concerning full and partial satisfaction of indebtedness, which may only be waived after default pursuant to NRS Section 40.495(1), Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it now has or may hereafter acquire against Borrower, whether due or to become due, voluntary or involuntary, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, for reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, or any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Guaranteed Party against Borrower or any Security Interest which any Guaranteed Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount or security shall be paid or delivered to Guarantor or in violation of security shall be paid or delivered to Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Indebtedness shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Agent for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties to be credited and applied to the Indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured.
9. Guarantor agrees that, to the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to any Guaranteed Party or any Guaranteed Party receives any proceeds of any Security Interest or the Mortgaged Property, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or otherwise required to be repaid to Borrower, the estate, trustee, receiver or either of them, or any other party, including, without limitation, in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, then to the extent of such payment or repayment, the obligation or part thereof which has been paid, reduced or satisfied by such amount shall be reinstated and continued in full force and effect as of the date

such initial payment, reduction or satisfaction occurred. Guarantor shall protect, defend and indemnify and hold harmless each Guaranteed Party from and against any claim or loss under this Section 9 (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) in the defense of any such action or suit.
10. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that is shall have the sole responsibility for obtaining from Borrower such information concerning its financial condition or business operation, as Guarantor may require, and that no Guaranteed Party has any duty at any time to disclose to Guarantor any information relating to the business operation or financial condition of Borrower.
11. In the event that all or any part of the Indebtedness at any time is secured by any one or more deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments creating or granting liens on any interests in real property, Guarantor authorizes the Guaranteed Parties, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of any Event of Default, without notice or demand and without affecting any guaranteed obligations of Guarantor hereunder or the enforceability of any Security Interest included in the Transaction Documents or the Mortgaged Property, to enforce in any manner any or all of such Security Interest, including without limitation by transfer or by judicial or nonjudicial sale. Guarantor expressly waives any defenses or benefits that may be derived from NRS Section 40.430 and any other statute or principle of law providing that there shall be but one form of action in connection with the collection of any debt or enforcement of any right secured by a lien on real property, and all other guarantor, suretyship and other defenses it otherwise might or would have under Nevada law or other applicable law. Guarantor expressly waives any right to receive notice of any judicial or nonjudicial enforcement (including without limitation sale or foreclosure) of any real property or interest therein subject to any such deeds of trust or mortgages or other instruments and Guarantor's or any other Person's failure to receive any such notice shall not impair or affect Guarantor's obligations hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty or any rights of the Guaranteed Parties created or granted hereby. Guarantor understands that if the Guaranteed Parties enforce against any property securing the Indebtedness, that enforcement may impair or destroy any ability that Guarantor may have to seek reimbursement, contribution or indemnification from Borrower or others based on any right guarantor may have of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification for any amount paid by Guarantor under this Guaranty. By executing this Guaranty, Guarantor (i) waives and relinquishes any defense based on the foregoing and agrees that Guarantor will be fully liable under this Guaranty even though the Guaranteed Parties enforce against any property security for the Indebtedness; and (ii) agrees that Guarantor will not asset any such defense in any
