Dear Sirs:

As an inducement to Branch  Banking and Trust Company  ("Bank") to extend credit
to  and  to  otherwise  deal  with  LYNCH  SYSTEMS  INC.   ("Borrower")  and  in
consideration  thereof, the undersigned (and each of the undersigned jointly and
severally if more than one) hereby absolutely and unconditionally  guarantees to
Bank and its successors and assigns the due and punctual  payment of any and all
notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities, primary or secondary (whether
by way of endorsement or otherwise), of Borrower, at any time, now or hereafter,
incurred  with or held by Bank,  together  with  interest,  as and when the same
become due and payable, whether by acceleration or otherwise, in accordance with
the terms of any such  notes,  drafts,  debts,  obligations  or  liabilities  or
agreements  evidencing any such indebtedness,  obligation or liability including
all  renewals,  extensions  and  modifications  thereof.  The  obligation of the
undersigned is a guarantee of payment and not of collection.

      The  undersigned is Bank's debtor for all  indebtedness,  obligations  and
liabilities  for which this  Guaranty is made,  and Bank shall also at all times
have a lien on and security  interest in all stocks,  bonds and other securities
of the undersigned at any time in Bank's possession and the same shall at Bank's
option  be  held,  administered  and  disposed  of as  collateral  to  any  such
indebtedness,  obligation or liability of the  Borrower,  and Bank shall also at
all  times  have  the  right of  set-off  against  any  deposit  account  of the
undersigned  with Bank in the same  manner and to the same extent that the right
of set-off may exist against the Borrower.

It is understood that any such notes, drafts, debts, obligations and liabilities
may be  accepted  or  created  by or with Bank at any time and from time to time
without notice to the undersigned,  and the undersigned  hereby expressly waives
presentment,  demand, protest, and notice of dishonor of any such notes, drafts,
debts,  obligations and liabilities or other evidences of any such indebtedness,
obligation or liability.

      Bank may  receive  and accept  from time to time any  securities  or other
property as a  collateral  to any such notes,  drafts,  debts,  obligations  and
liabilities, and may surrender,  compromise, exchange and release absolutely the
same or any part  thereof  at any time  without  notice to the  undersigned  and
without in any manner  affecting the obligation and liability of the undersigned
hereby  created.  The  undersigned  agrees that Bank shall have no obligation to
protect, perfect, secure or insure any security interests, liens or encumbrances
now or hereafter held for the  indebtedness,  obligations  and  liabilities  for
which this Guaranty is made.

This obligation and liability on the part of the undersigned shall be a primary,
and not a secondary,  obligation and liability,  payable immediately upon demand
without recourse first having been had by Bank against the Borrower or any other
guarantor,  person,  firm or  corporation,  and without  first  resorting to any
property held by Bank as collateral security;  and the undersigned hereby waives
the benefits of all provisions of law, for stay or delay of execution or sale of
property or other satisfaction of judgment against the undersigned on account of
obligation and liability  hereunder until judgment be obtained  therefor against
the Borrower and execution  thereon returned  unsatisfied,  or until it is shown
that  the  Borrower  has no  property  available  for  the  satisfaction  of the
indebtedness,  obligation  or liability  guaranteed  hereby,  or until any other
proceedings can be had; and the undersigned  hereby agrees to indemnify the Bank
for  all  costs  of  collection,  including  but not  limited  to the  costs  of
repossession,  foreclosure, reasonable attorneys' fees, and court costs incurred
by the  Bank in the  event  that  the  Bank  should  first  be  required  by the
undersigned  to resort to any property held by the Bank or in which the Bank has
a security interest or to obtain execution,  or other satisfaction of a judgment
against the Borrower on account of Borrowers  obligation  and  liability for its
indebtedness  guaranteed  hereby;  and the  undersigned  further agrees that the
undersigned is responsible  for any obligation or debt, or portion  thereof,  of
the  Borrower  to the Bank which has been paid by the  Borrower  to the Bank and
which the Bank is  subsequently  required to return to the Borrower or a trustee
for the Borrower in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and the undersigned
further agrees that none of the undersigned shall have any right of subrogation,
reimbursement or indemnity whatsoever, nor any right of recourse to security for
the debts and  obligations  of the  Borrower to Bank unless and until all of the
debts and  obligations  of the  Borrower  to Bank  have  been paid in full.  The
undersigned  hereby waives,  to the extent  avoidable under any provision of the
Bankruptcy  Code,  any right  arising  upon  payment by the  undersigned  of any
obligation  under this Guaranty to assert a claim against the bankruptcy  estate
of the Borrower.
