(i)  Healthcare Financial Management & Acquisitions, Inc., a Nevada corporation and an affiliate of Lender (“HFMA”) and Borrower are parties to that certain Warrant To Purchase Shares of Common Stock of even date herewith (“Warrant”). Pursuant to the Warrant: (A) Borrower granted HFMA the right to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Borrower’s common stock (“Common Stock”) necessary or required to pay in full all indebtedness, accrued interest, fees, expenses and all other obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents; and (B) Borrower covenanted and agreed to file a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, covering the resale of the Common Stock by HFMA, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date of the New Loan (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and to use its reasonable best efforts to have such registration statement declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission as soon as practicable but no later than the Maturity Date for distribution of the Common Stock by means of an underwriting.
 
(b)  If, by the Maturity Date of the New Loan, a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 has been filed and declared effective by the Securities Exchange Commission which permits the immediate sale of the Common Stock by HFMA, then prior to Lender making a demand upon Guarantor to pay the Guaranty Obligations pursuant to this Guaranty, Lender shall first cause HFMA to: (i) exercise its right under the Warrant to purchase all of the Common Stock necessary or required to pay the indebtedness, accrued interest, fees, expenses and all other obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents; (ii) sell said Common Stock by means of an underwriting or as otherwise allowed by law; and (iii) deliver the proceeds of the sale of said Common Stock to Lender in reduction of the indebtedness, accrued interest, fees, expenses and all other obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents.
 
(c)  If, after the sale of Common Stock and payment of proceeds to Lender, any portion of the indebtedness, accrued interest, fees, expenses and all other obligations of Borrower and the other Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents remains unpaid, then in said event Lender shall have the right to demand in writing that Guaranty immediately pay the Guaranty Obligations (or remaining balance thereof, as applicable) to Lender as provided by Section 2.3(a) above.
 
2.4  Guarantor Waivers. Subject to compliance with the provisions of Section 2.3 above, in addition to any other waivers contained herein, Guarantor waives, agrees and acknowledges as follows and waives any defense based upon or arising from the following:
 
5

(a)  The Guaranty Obligations are the immediate, direct, primary and absolute liabilities of Guarantor, and are independent of, and not co-extensive with, the New Loan, the other Obligations or the obligations of any other guarantor of the Obligations. Guarantor expressly waives any right it may have now or in the future to direct or affect the manner or timing of Lender's enforcement of its rights or remedies. Guarantor expressly waives any right it may have now or in the future to require Lender to, and Lender shall not have any liability to, pursue or enforce first against Borrower, any of the properties or assets of Borrower, the Collateral or any other security, guaranty or pledge that may now or hereafter be held by Lender for the New Loan or for the Guaranty Obligations, or to apply such security, guaranty, or pledge to the New Loan or to the Guaranty Obligations. Guarantor shall remain liable for the Guaranty Obligations, notwithstanding any judgment Lender may obtain against Borrower or Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Obligations, or any other person or entity, or any modification, extension or renewal with respect thereto. Lender shall not be under any liability to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the New Loan or the Guaranty Obligations.
 
(b)  Guarantor has entered into this Guaranty based solely upon its independent knowledge of Borrower's financial condition, and Guarantor assumes full responsibility for obtaining any further information with respect to Borrower or the conduct of its business. Guarantor represents that it is now, and during the terms of this Guaranty will be, responsible for ascertaining the financial condition of Borrower. Guarantor hereby waives any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to Guarantor, and agrees that it is not relying upon or expecting Lender to disclose to it, any fact known or hereafter known by Lender relating to the operation or condition of Borrower or its business or relating to the existence, liability, or financial condition of any other guarantor of the Obligations. Guarantor knowingly accepts the full range of risk encompassed in a contract of continuing guaranty, which risk includes the possibility that Borrower may incur further indebtedness after Borrower's financial condition or its ability to pay debts as they mature has deteriorated.
 
(c)  Except as specifically provided in this Guaranty or applicable law, Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (i) notice of the acceptance by Lender of this Guaranty, (ii) notice of the existence, creation, payment, nonpayment, performance or nonperformance of all or any of the Guaranty Obligations, (iii) presentment, demand and protest and notice of presentment, dishonor, intent to accelerate, acceleration, protest, default, nonpayment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension or renewal of any or all of the New Loan Documents, notes, commercial paper, accounts, contract rights, documents, instruments, chattel paper and guaranties at any time held by Lender on which Guarantor may be liable in any way, and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever Lender may do in this regard; (iv) all rights to notice and a hearing prior to Lender's taking possession or control of, or to Lender's replevy, attachment or levy upon, the Collateral or any bond or security which might be required by any court prior to allowing Lender to exercise any of its remedies; (v) all rights to receive notices from Lender with respect to, or otherwise sent to, Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Obligations, (vi) the benefit of all valuation, appraisal, stay, extension, redemption and exemption laws, (vii) the benefit of any law purporting to reduce Guarantor's obligation in proportion to the principal obligation hereby guarantied, (viii) the benefit of any law purporting to exonerate Guarantor's obligation upon performance or an offer of performance of the principal obligation, (ix) notice of any extension, modification, renewal, or amendment of any of the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other New Loan Document relating to the New Loan or the Guaranty Obligations; (x) notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default with respect to the New Loan, the Guaranty Obligations, the Collateral or otherwise; and (xi) notice of any exercise or non-exercise by Lender of any right, power, or remedy with respect to the New Loan, the Guaranty Obligations or the Collateral; provided, however, that the Lender shall provide Guarantor with written notice of an Event of Default when and if Lender is required to provide such notice to Borrower under the Credit Agreement.
 
6

(d)  If Lender, under applicable law, may proceed to realize its benefits under any New Loan Document providing for a lien upon any Collateral, whether owned by Borrower or by any other person or entity, either by judicial foreclosure or by nonjudicial sale or enforcement, Lender, at its sole option, may determine which of its remedies or rights it may pursue without affecting any of its rights and remedies under this Guaranty.
 
(e)  Guarantor represents that the New Loan and Guaranty Obligations are and shall be incurred by Borrower for business and commercial purposes only. Any claim of Lender against Guarantor arising out of this Guaranty arises out of the conduct by Guarantor of its trade, business, or profession. Guarantor undertakes all the risks encompassed in the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents as they may be now or are hereafter agreed upon by Lender and Borrower. Prior to the Guaranty Termination Date, Lender, in such manner and upon such terms and at such time as it deems best, and with or without notice to Guarantor, may release, add, subordinate or substitute security for the New Loan or other Obligations.
 
(f)  A separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not an action is brought against Borrower, or whether Borrower is joined in any such action or actions.
 
2.5  Waivers.
 
(a)  Guarantor waives any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, Sections 2899 and 3433, or other statutory or decisional law. This means, among other things, that:
 
(i)  Guarantor waives and will be unable to raise any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome than that of a principal;
 
(ii)  Guarantor waives and will be unable to raise any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that a creditor may be required to pursue the principal obligor or the security for the principal obligation before seeking enforcement against a guarantor or security pledged by the guarantor;
 
(iii)  Guarantor waives and will be unable to raise any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that a guarantor's obligations may be limited or exonerated by reason of the creditor's alteration of the principal obligation or of another guaranty, or by reason of the impairment or suspension of the creditor's rights or remedies against the principal, another guarantor, or any security given for the principal obligation or given for other guaranties;
 
7

(iv)  Guarantor waives and will be unable to claim any right to participate in, or the benefit of, any security given for the principal obligation now or hereafter held by Lender; and
 
(v)  Guarantor waives and will be unable to claim any right of subrogation and any right to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower.
 
(b)  Guarantor waives any defense based upon any lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, or agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower or any legal disability or defect in the formation of Borrower.
 
(c)  Guarantor waives any defense based upon the application by Borrower of the proceeds of the New Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower to Lender or intended or understood by Lender or Guarantor.
 
(d)  Guarantor waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of Guarantor hereunder or the enforcement hereof, and Guarantor further agrees that any act or event which tolls any statute of limitations applicable to the obligations of Borrower shall similarly operate to toll the statute of limitations applicable to Guarantor's liability hereunder.
 
(e)  Guarantor further waives any and all defenses which are comparable to the waivers set forth in this Guaranty which would otherwise be available to Guarantor under Nevada law (whether based on a statute or decisional law) and any other defenses available to guarantors under Nevada law, whether based on a statute or decisional law.
 
2.6  Benefits of Guaranty. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of Lender and its successors, transferees, endorsees, and assigns, and nothing herein shall impair the New Loan or other Obligations, as between Borrower, Guarantor and Lender. No such transfer, endorsement, or assignment shall increase or diminish any of the Guaranty Obligations hereunder. This Guaranty binds Guarantor, and Guarantor may not assign, transfer or endorse this Guaranty. In the event all or any part of the New Loan or other Obligations are transferred, endorsed or assigned by Lender to any Person or Persons, any reference to “Lender” herein shall be deemed to refer equally to such Person or Persons.
 
2.7  Continuing Guaranty. (a) This is a continuing guaranty, (b) this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Guaranty Termination Date, and (c) the Guaranty Obligations hereunder shall extend to each and every extension or renewal, if any, of the Credit Agreement, regardless of whether the New Loan or other Obligations, in successive transactions, may be paid, repaid, advanced or renewed from time to time.
 
8

2.8  Subordination. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Borrower to Guarantor are hereby fully and absolutely subordinated to the right and time of payment in full of the Obligations to Lender under the Credit Agreement and the other New Loan Documents. Any Lien, now existing or hereafter arising, on or in any of the assets of Borrower in favor of Guarantor, whether created by contract, assignment, subrogation, reimbursement, indemnity, operation of law, principles of equity or otherwise is hereby subordinated in priority to the liens and security interests of Lender, now existing or hereafter arising. The subordination provisions of this Section 2.9 shall be effective regardless of whether demand has been made by Lender and shall remain in effect until the Guaranty Termination Date.
