Waiver and Modification. The Undersigned waive notice of (a) acceptance of this Guaranty; (b)  presentment, demand for payment, or protest of any of the Debt, or the obligation of any person or other entity held by Creditor  as collateral security for the Debt. This Guaranty may not be modified except in a writing signed by Creditor and the Undersigned.

Consent to Creditor's Acts. The Undersigned agrees that Creditor may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without notice to or consent of the undersigned, (a) take, release, exchange, enforce, and otherwise deal with any security, including but not limited to any given by the Undersigned, and including but limited to the right to perfect or fail to perfect such security, without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of this Guaranty, whether such security be in the nature of a security interest, pledge, lien, assignment, setoff, suretyship, guaranty, indemnity, insurance, or otherwise; (b) release any one or more of the Undersigned upon such terms as Creditor deems adequate, and may fail or elect not to prove a claim against the estate of any bankrupt, insolvent, incompetent, or deceased guarantor, without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of the remaining guarantors and the other rights and remedies provided here; (c) settle or compromise any claim of Creditor against Debtor, or against any other person or other entity, whose obligation is held by Creditor as collateral security for any obligation of Debtor to Creditor; or (d) offset against any of the Undersigned's indebtedness to Creditor any amount owing by Creditor to any of the Undersigned, whether represented by deposit or otherwise and whether or not matured on the date of setoff.

The Undersigned, jointly and severally, ratify and confirm any such extension, renewal, release, surrender, exchange, modification, impairment, settlement, compromise, or setoff; and all such actions shall be binding upon these guarantors, jointly and severally, who waive all defenses, counterclaims, or offsets which each of the guarantors, jointly and severally, might have.

Remedies. Creditor may, at its option, proceed in the first instance against the Undersigned, each severally, any two or more jointly, or some severally and some jointly, to collect any Debt covered by this Guaranty, without first proceeding against Debtor, or any other person or other entity, and without first resorting to any property at any time held by Creditor as collateral security.
