GUARANTY
PERSONAL GUARANTY OF PERFORMANCE. Each undersigned Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to
Purchaser the truthfulness, accuracy and completeness of all of the representations, warranties and covenants made
by Seller in the application, Agreement, Security Agreement and Guaranty, (collectively, the “Transaction
Documents”), as each may be modified from time to time (the “Guaranteed Declarations”). Guarantor shall be liable
for and Purchaser may charge and collect all costs and expenses, including but not limited to attorneys’ fees and court
costs, which may be incurred by Purchaser in connection with any Guaranteed Declaration being false, inaccurate,
incompleteness or otherwise breached, including the enforcement of Purchaser’s rights under the Transaction
Documents. (It is understood by all parties that Guarantor is only guaranteeing the truthfulness, accuracy and
completeness of the Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants that if false, inaccurate or incomplete
constitute a breach of the Transaction Documents and is not making an absolute guaranty of repayment.)
GUARANTOR WAIVERS. In the event that Purchaser fails to receive the ERC due to Seller’s actions, including any
false, inaccurate or incomplete representation or warranty, or Seller otherwise fails to perform any covenant under
the Transaction Documents, Purchaser may enforce its rights under this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction
Documents without first seeking to recover from the Seller, any other guarantor or through the Security Agreement.
Purchaser does not have to notify Guarantor of any of the following events, and Guarantor will not be released from
its obligations under this Guaranty, if it is not notified of: (i) Seller’s failure to pay any amount owed under the
Purchase Agreement; (ii) any material or adverse change in Seller’s financial condition or tax obligations; (iii) any
sale or other impairment of any Collateral; (iv) Purchaser’s acceptance of this Guaranty; (v) any modification of
any of the Transaction Documents and/or Seller’s other obligations to Purchaser; (vi) the Purchaser’s pursuit and/or
enforcement of any rights and remedies, available at law and in equity, relating to, and/or arising from, the
Transaction Documents and (vii) any breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty or consent in the
Transaction Documents.
In addition, Purchaser may take any of the following actions without releasing Guarantor from any of its
obligations under this Guaranty: (1) modify any of the Transaction Documents or Seller’s other obligations to
Purchaser; (ii) release Seller from its obligations to Purchaser; (iii) sell, release, impair, waive or otherwise fail to
realize upon, any Collateral or any other guarantor; (iv) foreclose on any Collateral or any other guarantor in a
manner that impairs or precludes the right of Guarantor to obtain reimbursement for payment under this Guaranty;
and (v) pursuit and/or enforcement of any rights and remedies, available at law and in equity, relating to, and/or
arising from, the Transaction Documents. Until all of Seller’s obligations to Purchaser under any of the Transaction
Documents are satisfied in full, Guarantor shall not seek recovery from Seller or any other guarantor for any
amounts paid by Guarantor under any of the Transaction Documents.
Guarantor permanently waives and shall not seek to exercise the following rights that Guarantor may have against
Seller, any other guarantor or third party, any Collateral, or any other real or personal property for any amounts paid
by Guarantor, any other guarantor, or third party, or acts performed by Guarantor, any other guarantor, or third party,
under the Transaction Documents including, without limitation: (i) subrogation; (ii) reimbursement; (iii)
performance; (iv) indemnification; or (v) contribution. In the event that Purchaser must return any amount received
under the Transaction Documents, or from any guarantor, entity, or person, related to the Agreement due to any
false, inaccurate or incomplete representation, warranty or covenants, including, without limitation, any Seller,
becoming subject to a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any similar law, (whether arising
under Federal or State law), and/or any other Insolvency Proceeding, legal proceeding or alternative dispute
resolution proceeding, Guarantor shall be obligated for any such amounts repaid as well as attorneys’ fees, costs, and
interest in connection with such proceeding.

Supplier will provide an end-to-end offsite workflow solution that manages the intake and distribution of
inbound mail including ERC Checks, Check Items and Documents. The DMR automates manual processes
and utilizes electronic delivery methods to automatically route mail to the recipient. Supplier will perform
these services at one of its designated facilities, which is a shared service environment. The mail pieces will
be generally prepared for scanning by opening, removing from envelopes, removing staples, being
flattened, etc. During this preparation process, any misdirected mail will be out-sorted and returned to
sender. Batches of documents will then be scanned and processed through an Image enhancement tool
which will apply standard enhancement techniques to the Images (de-speckle, de-skew, etc.). OCR
technology will be applied to the envelopes and contents. Sender and recipient data captured from the
envelope along with the other OCR meta data will be supplied with the Images as part of the DMR Portal
mail items. Upon completion of scanning, the physical documents will be boxed and checked into the
tracking system for short-term storage for a time period equal to Physical Storage Days, at which time they
will be securely destroyed unless otherwise agreed in writing.
