Item 2.03.		Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On September 30, 2008, Bob Evans Farms, Inc. (the “Company”), through its subsidiary BEF Holding Co., Inc. (“BEF Holding”), entered into an unsecured Line of Credit Note underlying a $30 million line of credit with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“Chase”). This line of credit replaced the Company’s existing line of credit with Chase which expired by its terms on October 1, 2008. The note under the new line of credit becomes due and payable on October 1, 2009, subject to acceleration upon the occurrence of certain specified events of default which are customary for transactions of this type. The line of credit is short-term debt and will be used for general corporate purposes.

The Company may have outstanding at any one time up to five advances under the line of credit. At the time it takes an advance, the Company will choose whether the advance will be a “LIBOR Rate Advance” or a “Prime Rate Advance.” LIBOR Rate Advances accrue interest based on an “Adjusted LIBOR Rate” of (i) 0.55%, plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the applicable LIBOR rate, divided by (b) one minus the maximum aggregate reserve requirement (expressed as a decimal) imposed under Federal Reserve Board Regulation D. Prime Rate Advances accrue interest at the greater of (i) Chase’s prime rate, less 1.00%, and (ii) 4.00%. Interest will accrue on advances on a basis of actual days elapsed in a 360 day year.

BEF Holding’s obligations under the line of credit note are guaranteed by both the Company and by Mimi’s Café, LLC, each of which has executed a Continuing Guaranty of BEF Holding’s obligations under the Line of Credit Note. Each Continuing Guaranty is joint and several and unlimited.

The foregoing description of the line of credit does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to Line of Credit Note and each Continuing Guaranty, copies of which are attached as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 hereto and are incorporated herein by reference.

Broad St., Columbus, OH 43215 (the “Bank”) or order, in lawful money of the United States of America, the sum of Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be advanced and outstanding, plus interest on the unpaid principal balance as provided below.

Interest Rate Definitions. As used in this Note, the following terms have the following respective meanings:

“Adjusted LIBOR Rate” means, with respect to a LIBOR Rate Advance for the relevant Interest Period, the sum of (i) the Applicable Margin plus (ii) the quotient of (a) the LIBOR Rate applicable to such Interest Period, divided by (b) one minus the Reserve Requirement (expressed as a decimal) applicable to such Interest Period.

“Advance” means a LIBOR Rate Advance or a Prime Rate Advance and “Advances” means all LIBOR Rate Advances and all Prime Rate Advances under this Note.

“Applicable Margin” means with respect to any Prime Rate Advance, -1.00% per annum and with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, 0.55% per annum.

“Business Day” means (i) with respect to any borrowing, payment or rate selection of LIBOR Rate Advances, a day (other than a Saturday or Sunday) on which banks generally are open in Ohio and/or New York for the conduct of substantially all of their commercial lending activities and on which dealings in United States dollars are carried on in the London interbank market and (ii) for all other purposes, a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which national banking associations are authorized to be closed.

“Interest Period” means, with respect to a LIBOR Rate Advance, a period of one (1), two (2) or three (3) month(s) commencing on a Business Day selected by the Borrower pursuant to this Note. Such Interest Period shall end on the day which corresponds numerically to such date one (1), two (2) or three (3) month(s) thereafter, as applicable, provided, however, that if there is no such numerically corresponding day in such first, second or third succeeding month(s), as applicable, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such first, second or third succeeding month(s), as applicable. If an Interest Period would otherwise end on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall end on the next succeeding Business Day, provided, however, that if said next succeeding Business Day falls in a new calendar month, such Interest Period shall end on the immediately preceding Business Day.

“LIBOR Rate” means with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance for any Interest Period, the interest rate determined by the Bank by reference to Page 3750 of the Moneyline Telerate Service (“MTS”) (or on any successor or substitute page of the MTS, or any successor to or substitute for the MTS, providing rate quotations comparable to those currently provided on Page 3750 of the MTS, as determined by the Bank from time to time for purposes of providing quotations of interest rates applicable to dollar deposits in the London interbank market) to be the rate at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time, two Business Days prior to the commencement of the Interest Period for the offering by the Bank’s London office, of dollar deposits in an amount comparable to such LIBOR Rate Advance with a maturity equal to such Interest Period. If no LIBOR Rate is available to the Bank, the applicable LIBOR Rate for the relevant Interest Period shall instead be the rate determined by the Bank to be the rate at which the Bank offers to place deposits in U.S. dollars with first-class banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00 a.m. (London time) two Business Days prior to the first day of such Interest Period, in the approximate amount of the principal amount outstanding on such date and having a maturity equal to such Interest Period.

“LIBOR Rate Advance” means any borrowing under this Note when and to the extent that its interest rate is determined by reference to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate.

“Prime Rate” means the rate of interest per annum announced from time to time by the Bank as its prime rate. The Prime Rate is a variable rate and each change in the Prime Rate is effective from and including the date the change is announced as being effective. THE PRIME RATE IS A REFERENCE RATE AND MAY NOT BE THE BANK’S LOWEST RATE.

“Prime Rate Advance” means any Advance under this Note when and to the extent that its interest rate is determined by reference to the Prime Rate.

“Principal Payment Date” is defined in the paragraph entitled “Principal Payments” below.

“Regulation D” means Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as from time to time in effect and any successor thereto or other regulation or official interpretation of said Board of Governors relating to reserve requirements applicable to member banks of the Federal Reserve System.

“Reserve Requirement” means, with respect to an Interest Period, the maximum aggregate reserve requirement (including all basic, supplemental, marginal and other reserves) which is imposed under Regulation D.

Interest Rates. The Advance(s) evidenced by this Note may be drawn down and remain outstanding as up to five (5) LIBOR Rate Advances and/or a Prime Rate Advance. The Borrower shall pay interest to the Bank on the outstanding and unpaid principal amount of each (1) Prime Rate Advance at the greater of (a) the Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin and (b) 4.00% per annum, and (2) each LIBOR Rate Advance at the Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a year of 360 days, unless that calculation would result in a usurious interest rate, in which case interest will be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as the case may be. In no event shall the interest rate applicable to any Advance exceed the maximum rate allowed by law. Any interest payment which would for any reason be deemed unlawful under applicable law shall be applied to principal.

Bank Records. The Bank shall, in the ordinary course of business, make notations in its records of the date, amount, interest rate and Interest Period of each Advance hereunder, the amount of each payment on the Advances, and other information. Such records shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding principal balance of and interest rate or rates applicable to this Note.

The Borrower’s notice must specify: (a) the disbursement date, (b) the amount of each Advance, (c) the type of each Advance (Prime Rate Advance or LIBOR Rate Advance), and (d) for each LIBOR Rate Advance, the duration of the applicable Interest Period; provided , however , that the Borrower may not elect an Interest Period ending after the maturity date of this Note. Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall be in a minimum amount of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00). All notices under this paragraph are irrevocable. By the Bank’s close of business on the disbursement date and upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth herein and in any other of the Related Documents, the Bank shall disburse the requested Advances in immediately available funds by crediting the amount of such Advances to the Borrower’s account with the Bank.

Conversion and Renewals. The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert one type of Advance into another or to renew any Advance by giving the Bank written notice no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, on the date of the conversion into or renewal of a Prime Rate Advance and 11:00 a.m. Eastern time two (2) Business Days before conversion into or renewal of a LIBOR Rate Advance, specifying: (a) the renewal or conversion date, (b) the amount of the Advance to be converted or renewed, (c) in the case of conversion, the type of Advance to be converted into (Prime Rate Advance or LIBOR Rate Advance), and (d) in the case of renewals of or conversion into a LIBOR Rate Advance, the applicable Interest Period, provided that (i) the minimum principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Advance outstanding after a renewal or conversion shall be One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00); (ii) a LIBOR Rate Advance can only be converted on the last day of the Interest Period for the Advance; and (iii) the Borrower may not elect an Interest Period ending after the maturity date of this Note.

If the Borrower fails to give the Bank the notice specified above for the renewal or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance by 11:00 a.m. Eastern time two (2) Business Days before the end of the Interest Period for that Advance, the Advance shall automatically be converted to a Prime Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period for the Advance
Interest Payments. Interest on the Advances shall be paid as follows:

A. For each Prime Rate Advance, on the last day of each quarter beginning with the first quarter following disbursement of the Advance or following conversion of an Advance into a Prime Rate Advance, and at the maturity or conversion of the Advance into a LIBOR Rate Advance;

(3.00%) and (b) 7.00% per annum from the date the Bank elects to impose such rate. Imposition of this rate shall not affect any limitations contained in this Note on the Borrower’s right to repay principal on any LIBOR Rate Advance before the expiration of the Interest Period for that Advance.

Prepayment/Funding Loss Indemnification. The Borrower may prepay all or any part of any Prime Rate Advance at any time without premium or penalty.

The Borrower shall pay the Bank amounts sufficient (in the Bank’s reasonable opinion) to compensate the Bank for any loss, cost, or expense incurred as a result of:

A. Any payment of a LIBOR Rate Advance on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for the Advance, including, without limitation, acceleration of the Advances by the Bank pursuant to this Note or the other Related Documents; or

B. Any failure by the Borrower to borrow or renew a LIBOR Rate Advance on the date specified in the relevant notice from the Borrower to the Bank.

Additional Costs. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, government rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall (a) affect the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of any amounts payable by the Borrower under this Note or the other Related Documents (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Bank by the jurisdiction or by any political subdivision or taxing authority of the jurisdiction in which the Bank has its principal office), or (b) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Bank, or (c) impose any other condition with respect to this Note or the other Related Documents and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advance or to reduce the amount of any sum receivable by the Bank on such an Advance, or (d) affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by the Bank (or any corporation controlling the Bank) and the Bank determines that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of the Bank’s obligations under this Note or the other Related Documents and the increase has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank’s (or its controlling corporation’s) capital as a consequence of the obligations under this Note or the other Related Documents to a level below that which the Bank (or its controlling corporation) could have achieved but for such circumstances (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by the Bank to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to the Bank, from time to time, upon request by the Bank, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for the increased cost or reduced sum receivable. Whenever the Bank shall learn of circumstances described in this section which are likely to result in additional costs to the Borrower, the Bank shall give prompt written notice to the Borrower of the basis for and the estimated amount of any such anticipated additional costs. A statement as to the amount of the increased cost or reduced sum receivable, prepared in good faith and in reasonable detail by the Bank and submitted by the Bank to the Borrower, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error in computation.

Illegality. If any applicable domestic or foreign law, treaty, rule or regulation now or later in effect (whether or not it now applies to the Bank) or the interpretation or administration thereof by a governmental authority charged with such interpretation or administration, or compliance by the Bank with any guideline, request or directive of such an authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall make it unlawful or impossible for the Bank to maintain or fund the LIBOR Rate Advances, then, upon notice to the Borrower by the Bank, the outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Rate Advances, together with accrued interest and any other amounts payable to the Bank under this Note or the other Related Documents on account of the LIBOR Rate Advances shall be repaid (a) immediately upon the Bank’s demand if such change or compliance with such requests, in the Bank’s judgment, requires immediate repayment, or (b) at the expiration of the last Interest Period to expire before the effective date of any such change or request provided, however, that subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the other Related Documents the Borrower shall be entitled to simultaneously replace the entire outstanding balance of any LIBOR Rate Advance repaid in accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the same amount.

Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If the Bank determines that (a) quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining the interest rate on a LIBOR Rate Advance as provided in this Note, or (b) the relevant interest rates referred to in the definition of Adjusted LIBOR Rate do not accurately cover the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Advances, then the Bank shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Borrower, whereupon (i) the obligation of the Bank to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to the suspension no longer exists, and (ii) the Borrower shall repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of each LIBOR Rate Advance, together with accrued interest, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to the Advance, provided, however, that, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note and the other Related Documents, the Borrower shall be entitled to simultaneously replace the entire outstanding balance of any LIBOR Rate Advance repaid in accordance with this section with a Prime Rate Advance in the same amount.

Obligations Due on Non-Business Day. Whenever any payment under this Note becomes due and payable on a day that is not a Business Day, if no default then exists under this Note, the maturity of the payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, except, in the case of a LIBOR Rate Advance, if the result of the extension would be to extend the payment into another calendar month, the payment must be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

Matters Regarding Payment. The Borrower will pay the Bank at the Bank’s address shown above or at such other place as the Bank may designate. Payments shall be allocated among principal, interest and fees at the discretion of the Bank unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law. Acceptance by the Bank of any payment which is less than the payment due at the time shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank’s right to receive payment in full at that time or any other time.

Authorization for Direct Payments (ACH Debits). To effectuate any payment due under this Note or under any other Related Documents, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Bank to initiate debit entries to Account Number 629883273 at the Bank and to debit the same to such account. This authorization to initiate debit entries shall remain in full force and effect until the Bank has received written notification of its termination in such time and in such manner as to afford the Bank a reasonable opportunity to act on it. The Borrower represents that the Borrower is and will be the owner of all funds in such account. The Borrower acknowledges: (1) that such debit entries may cause an overdraft of such account which may result in the Bank’s refusal to honor items drawn on such account until adequate deposits are made to such account; (2) that the Bank is under no duty or obligation to initiate any debit entry for any purpose; and (3) that if a debit is not made because the above-referenced account does not have a sufficient available balance, or otherwise, the payment may be late or past due.

Late Fee . Any principal or interest which is not paid within 10 days after its due date (whether as stated, by acceleration or otherwise) shall be subject to a late payment charge of five percent (5.00%) of the total payment due, in addition to the payment of interest, up to the maximum amount of One Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge. The Borrower agrees to pay and stipulates that five percent (5.00%) of the total payment due is a reasonable amount for a late payment charge. The Borrower shall pay the late payment charge upon demand by the Bank or, if billed, within the time specified.

Purpose of Loan. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that this Note evidences a loan for a business, commercial, agricultural or similar commercial enterprise purpose, and that no advance shall be used for any personal, family or household purpose. The proceeds of the loan shall be used only for the Borrower’s working capital purposes.

Credit Facility. The Bank has approved a credit facility to the Borrower in a principal amount not to exceed the face amount of this Note. The credit facility is in the form of advances made from time to time by the Bank to the Borrower. This Note evidences the Borrower’s obligation to repay those advances. The aggregate principal amount of debt evidenced by this Note is the amount reflected from time to time in the records of the Bank. Until the earliest to occur of maturity, any default, event of default, or any event that would constitute a default or event of default but for the giving of notice, the lapse of time or both, the Borrower may borrow, pay down and reborrow under this Note subject to the terms of the Related Documents.

Non-Usage Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Bank a non-usage fee for the term of this Note on the average daily unused portion of the credit facility at a rate of one-eighth of one percent (1/8%) per annum, payable on October 15, 2009; provided, however , that there shall be no non-usage fee due and payable if the average daily unused portion of the credit facility is equal to or less than Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00)

The Bank may waive or delay enforcing any of its rights without losing them. Any waiver affects only the specific terms and time period stated in the waiver. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Note is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Person against whom it is being enforced.

Rights of Subrogation. Each Obligor waives and agrees not to enforce any rights of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it may have against the Borrower, any other Obligor, until the Borrower and such Obligor have fully performed all their obligations to the Bank, even if those obligations are not covered by this Note.

By the execution and delivery of this Note, the Borrower submits to and accepts, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of those courts. The Borrower waives any claim that the State of Ohio is not a convenient forum or the proper venue for any such suit, action or proceeding.

Renewal and Extension. This Note is given in replacement, renewal and/or extension of, but not in extinguishment of the indebtedness evidenced by, that Line of Credit Note dated October 1, 2007 executed by the Borrower in the original principal amount of Thirty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($30,000,000.00), including previous renewals or modifications thereof, if any (the “Prior Note” and together with all loan agreements, credit agreements, reimbursement agreements, security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, pledge agreements, assignments, guaranties, and any other instrument or document executed in connection with the Prior Note, the “Prior Related Documents”), and is not a novation thereof. All interest evidenced by the Prior Note shall continue to be due and payable until paid. The Borrower fully, finally, and forever releases and discharges the Bank and its successors, assigns, directors, officers, employees, agents, and representatives (each a “Bank Party”) from any and all causes of action, claims, debts, demands, and liabilities, of whatever kind or nature, in law or equity, of the Borrower, whether now known or unknown to the Borrower (i) in respect of the Liabilities evidenced by the Prior Note and the Prior Related Documents, or of the actions or omissions of any Bank Party in any manner related to the Liabilities evidenced by the Prior Note or the Prior Related Documents and (ii) arising from events

occurring prior to the date of this Note. The provisions of this Note are effective on the date that this Note has been executed by all of the signers and delivered to the Bank.

Miscellaneous. If more than one Borrower executes this Note: (i) each Borrower is liable jointly and severally for the Liabilities evidenced by this Note; (ii) the term “Borrower” means any one or more of them; and (iii) the receipt of value by any one of them constitutes the receipt of value by the others. This Note binds the Borrower and its successors, and benefits the Bank, its successors and assigns. Any reference to the Bank includes any holder of this Note. Section headings are for convenience of reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Note. Any notices and demands under or related to this Note shall be in writing and delivered to the intended party at its address stated herein, and if to the Bank, at its main office if no other address of the Bank is specified herein, by one of the following means: (a) by hand; (b) by a nationally recognized overnight courier service; or (c) by certified mail, postage prepaid, with return receipt requested.

Any party may change its address for purposes of the receipt of notices and demands by giving notice of such change in the manner provided in this provision. This Note and the other Related Documents embody the entire agreement between the Borrower and the Bank regarding the terms of the loan evidenced by this Note and supercede all oral statements and prior writings relating to that loan. No delay on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any right or remedy waives that right or remedy. No single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right or remedy precludes any other future exercise of it or the exercise of any other right or remedy. No waiver or indulgence by the Bank of any default is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Bank, nor shall a waiver on one occasion bar or waive that right on any future occasion. The rights of the Bank under this Note and the other Related Documents are in addition to other rights (including without limitation, other rights of setoff) the Bank may have contractually, by law, in equity or otherwise, all of which are cumulative and hereby retained by the Bank. If any provision of this Note cannot be enforced, the remaining portions of this Note shall continue in effect.

Continued Reliance. This Guaranty shall remain in effect until payment in full of the Remaining Liabilities, as defined below, following termination of this Guaranty by the Guarantor in accordance with this paragraph . This Guaranty will continue to be in effect until final payment and performance in full of all Liabilities and the termination of any commitment of the Bank to make loans or other financial accommodations to the Borrower. The Guarantor may terminate the Guarantor’s liability for Liabilities not in existence or for which the Bank has no commitment to advance or acquire by delivering written notice to the Bank as set forth in the paragraph below captioned “Notice.” After the Guarantor’s termination of this Guaranty, the Guarantor will continue to be liable for the following amounts (the “Remaining Liabilities”): (i) all Liabilities existing on the effective date of termination, (ii) all Liabilities to which the Bank has committed to advance or acquire prior to the effective termination date (whether or not the Bank is contractually obligated to advance or acquire the loans or extensions of credit), (iii) all subsequent renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations, rearrangements, restatements, replacements and amendments (but not increases) of those Liabilities, (iv) all interest accruing on those Liabilities after the effective termination date and (v) all Collection Amounts incurred with respect to those Liabilities, on or after the effective termination date. The Bank may continue to permit the Borrower to incur Liabilities and to issue commitments to the Borrower to advance or acquire Liabilities in reliance on this Guaranty until the effective date of termination, regardless of whether at any time or from time to time there are no existing Liabilities nor commitment by the Bank to advance or acquire Liabilities.

Security. The term “Collateral” in this Guaranty means all real or personal property described in all security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, assignments, or other instruments now or hereafter executed in connection with any of the Liabilities.

Bank ’ s Right of Setoff. The Bank retains all rights of setoff that the Bank may have by law, in equity or otherwise.

Remedies/Acceleration. If the Guarantor fails to pay any amount owing under this Guaranty, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by law or under any other agreement. The Bank is authorized to cause all or any part of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or in the name of any other person or business entity with or without designation of the capacity of that nominee. The Guarantor is liable for any deficiency in payment of any Liabilities whether of principal, interest, fees, costs or expenses remaining after the disposition of any Collateral. The Guarantor is liable to the Bank for all reasonable costs and expenses of any kind incurred in the making and collection of this Guaranty, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs. These costs and expenses include without limitation any costs or expenses incurred by the Bank in any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other similar proceeding. All obligations of the Guarantor to the Bank under this Guaranty, whether or not then due or absolute or contingent, shall, at the option of the Bank, without notice or demand, become due and payable immediately upon the occurrence of any default or event of default under the terms of any of the Liabilities or otherwise with respect to any agreement related to the Liabilities (or any other event that results in acceleration of the maturity of any Liabilities, including without limitation, demand for payment of any Liabilities constituting demand obligations or automatic acceleration in a legal proceeding) or the occurrence of any default under this Guaranty.

Permissible Actions. If any monies become available from any source other than the Guarantor that the Bank can apply to the Liabilities, the Bank may apply them in any manner it chooses, including but not limited to applying them against obligations, indebtedness or liabilities which are not covered by this Guaranty. The Bank may take any action against the Borrower, the Collateral, or any other person liable for any of the Liabilities. The Bank may release the Borrower or anyone else from the Liabilities, either in whole or in part, or release the Collateral, and need not perfect a security interest in the Collateral. The Bank does not have to exercise any rights that it has against the Borrower or anyone else, or make any effort to realize on the Collateral or any other collateral for the Liabilities, or exercise any right of set-off. The Guarantor authorizes the Bank, without notice or demand and without affecting the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, from time to time, to: (a) renew, modify, compromise, rearrange, restate, consolidate, extend, accelerate, postpone, grant any indulgence or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of the Liabilities or any part thereof, including increasing or decreasing the rate of interest thereon; (b) release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers, sureties, Guarantor or other guarantors; (c) take and hold Collateral for the payment of this Guaranty or the Liabilities, and enforce, exchange, impair, substitute, subordinate, waive or release any Liabilities or any Collateral for the Liabilities; (d) proceed against such Collateral and direct the order or manner of sale of such Collateral as the Bank in its discretion may determine; (e) apply any and all payments from the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Liabilities, or recoveries from such Collateral, in such order or manner as the Bank in its discretion may determine; and (f) to accept any partial payment of Liabilities or collateral for the Liabilities. The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished or affected by (i) any act or omission of the Bank, (ii) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Borrower, or any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or other similar proceedings affecting the Borrower, any other obligor or any of their respective assets, (iii) any change in the composition or structure of the Borrower, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Liabilities, including a merger or consolidation with any other person or entity, or (iv) any payments made upon the Liabilities. The Guarantor hereby expressly consents to any impairment of Collateral, including, but not limited to, failure to perfect a security interest and release Collateral and any such impairment or release shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty is an absolute guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Therefore, the Bank may insist that the Guarantor pay immediately, and the Bank is not required to attempt to collect first from the Borrower, the Collateral, or any other person liable for the Liabilities. The obligation of the Guarantor shall be unconditional and absolute even if all or any part of any agreement between the Bank and the Borrower is unenforceable, void, voidable or illegal or uncollectible due to incapacity, lack of power or authority, discharge or for any reason whatsoever, and regardless of the existence of any defense, setoff, discharge or counterclaim (in any case, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) which the Borrower may assert. If the Borrower is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or trust, it is not necessary for the Bank to inquire into the powers of the Borrower or the officers, directors, members, managers, partners, trustees or agents acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and any of the Liabilities made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor’s liability is absolute and unconditional irrespective of and shall not be released, diminished or affected by: (a) any present or future law, regulation or order of any jurisdiction (whether of right or in fact) or of any agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend, restructure, render unenforceable or otherwise affect any term of any Liabilities; or (b) any war, riot or revolution impacting multinational companies or any act of expropriation, nationalization or currency inconvertibility or nontransferability arising from governmental, legislative or executive measures affecting any obligor or the property of any obligor on the Liabilities.

Other Guarantors. If there is more than one Guarantor, the obligations under this Guaranty are joint and several. In addition, each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be jointly and severally liable with any other guarantor of the Liabilities. If the Bank elects to enforce its rights against fewer than all guarantors of the Liabilities, that election does not release the Guarantor from its obligations under this Guaranty. The compromise or release of any of the obligations of any of the other guarantors or the Borrower shall not serve to impair, waive, alter or release the Guarantor’s obligations.

Rights of Subrogation. The Guarantor waives and agrees not to enforce any rights of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it may have against the Borrower, any person liable on the Liabilities, or the Collateral, until the Borrower and the Guarantor have fully performed all their obligations to the Bank, even if those obligations are not covered by this Guaranty.

Waivers. The Guarantor waives (a) to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, all rights and benefits under any laws or statutes regarding sureties, as may be amended, and (b) any right the Guarantor may have to receive notice of the following matters before the Bank enforces any of its rights: (i) the Bank’s acceptance of this Guaranty, (ii) incurrence or acquisition of any Liabilities, any credit that the Bank extends to the Borrower, Collateral received or delivered, default by any party to any agreement related to the Liabilities or other action taken in reliance on this Guaranty, and all notices and other demands of any description, (iii) diligence and promptness in preserving liability against any obligor on the Liabilities, and in collecting or bringing suit to collect the Liabilities from any obligor on the Liabilities or to pursue any remedy in the Bank’s power to pursue; (iv) notice of extensions, renewals, modifications, rearrangements, restatements and substitutions of the Liabilities or any Collateral for the Liabilities; (v) notice of failure to pay any of the Liabilities as they mature, any other default, adverse change in the financial condition of any obligor on the Liabilities, release or substitution of any Collateral, subordination of the Bank’s rights in any Collateral, and every other notice of every kind that may lawfully be waived; (vi) the Borrower’s default, (vii) any demand, diligence, presentment, dishonor and protest, or (viii) any action that the Bank takes regarding the Borrower, anyone else, the Collateral, or any of the Liabilities, which it might be entitled to by law or under any other agreement, (c) any right it may have to require the Bank to proceed against the Borrower, any other obligor or guarantor of the Liabilities, or the Collateral for the Liabilities or the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, or pursue any remedy in the Bank’s power to pursue, (d) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower, (e) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (f) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever (other than payment in full) of the obligation of the Borrower for the Liabilities, and (g) any defense based on or arising out of any defense that the Borrower may have to the payment or performance of the Liabilities or any portion thereof. The Bank may waive or delay enforcing any of its rights without losing them. Any waiver affects only the specific terms and time period stated in the waiver. No modification or waiver of this Guaranty is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom it is being enforced.

Cooperation. The Guarantor agrees to fully cooperate with the Bank and not to delay, impede or otherwise interfere with the efforts of the Bank to secure payment from the assets which secure the Liabilities including actions, proceedings, motions, orders, agreements or other matters relating to relief from automatic stay, abandonment of property, use of cash collateral and sale of the Bank’s collateral free and clear of all liens.

Reinstatement. The Guarantor agrees that to the extent any payment or transfer is received by the Bank in connection with the Liabilities, and all or any part of the payment or transfer is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be transferred or repaid by the Bank or transferred or paid over to a trustee, receiver or any other entity, whether under any bankruptcy act or otherwise (any of those payments or transfers is hereinafter referred to as a “Preferential Payment”), then this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, and whether or not the Bank is in possession of this Guaranty, or whether the Guaranty has been marked paid, released or canceled, or returned to the Guarantor and, to the extent of the payment, repayment or other transfer by the Bank, the Liabilities or part intended to be satisfied by the Preferential Payment shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if the Preferential Payment had not been made.

Information. The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Liabilities and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Guaranty, and agrees that the Bank does not have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.
