Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

$25.0 Million Revolving Line of Credit Agreement

On March 14, 2007, Franklin Covey Co. (the Company) entered into long-term secured revolving line-of-credit agreements with JPMorgan Chase Bank N.A. and Zions First National Bank (the Credit Agreements). The Credit Agreements provide a total of $25.0 million of borrowing capacity to the Company at an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus 1.10 percent. The Credit Agreements expire on March 14, 2010 and the Company may draw on the line of credit, repay, and draw again, on a revolving basis, up to the maximum loan amount of $25.0 million so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing. The Credit Agreements also contain customary representations and guarantees as well as provisions for repayment and liens.

The Credit Agreements require the Company to be in compliance with specified financial covenants, including: (i) a funded debt to earnings ratio; (ii) a fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a limitation on annual capital expenditures; and (iv) a defined amount of minimum net worth. In the event of noncompliance with these financial covenants and other defined events of default, the lenders are entitled to certain remedies, including acceleration of the repayment of amounts outstanding on the Credit Agreements.

In connection with the Credit Agreements, the Company entered into separate Promissory Notes, a Security Agreement, Repayment Guaranty Agreements, and a Pledge and Security Agreement.

The Company may use the proceeds from the Credit Agreements for general corporate purposes and intends to use a portion of the revolving loan amount to redeem the remaining shares of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock as described in Item 8.01 below.

The foregoing description of the Credit Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Credit Agreements and information contained in the related Promissory Notes, Security Agreement, Repayment Guaranty Agreements, and Pledge and Security Agreement, which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.8 attached hereto.

Canadian Line of Credit Agreement

In addition to the Credit Agreements described above, on February 19, 2007, the Company obtained a CDN $500,000 (approximately $425,300) revolving line of credit with Toronto-Dominion Bank through its wholly owned Canadian subsidiary (the Canadian Line of Credit). The Canadian Line of Credit is a revolving line of credit similar to the Credit Agreements described above and bears interest at the Canadian prime rate. In connection with the Canadian Line of Credit, the interest rate on the previously existing mortgage agreement with Toronto-Dominion Bank was reduced from Canadian prime plus one percent to the Canadian prime rate.

The Canadian Line of Credit may be used for general corporate purposes and requires the Company’s Canadian subsidiary to maintain a specified financial covenant for minimum debt service coverage.

The foregoing description of the Canadian Line of Credit does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Canadian Line of Credit, which is filed as Exhibit 10.9 attached hereto.


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

The information set forth above in Item 1.01 is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 8.01  Other Events

On March 14, 2007, the Company announced that it had given formal notice to the shareholders of its Series A Preferred Stock for the redemption of all remaining shares of Series A Preferred Stock totaling $37.3 million, or approximately 1.5 million shares. The Company intends to redeem all remaining shares of its Series A Preferred Stock for $25 per share, plus accrued dividends through April 4, 2007, the anticipated redemption date. Due to the proximity of the anticipated redemption date, the regular quarterly dividend payment due on March 15, 2007 will be paid to Series A Preferred Shareholders on the redemption date. The redemption of Series A Preferred Stock will reduce the Company’s annual dividend obligation by $3.7 million per year.

A copy of the press release announcing the foregoing items is attached hereto as exhibit 99.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

8.9  Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments and all expenses, charges, costs, and fees provided for in this Agreement or relating to the Loan or the Collateral, including, without limitation, any fees incurred for recording or filing any of the Loan Documents, fees of any consultants, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s counsel in negotiating, documenting, administering and enforcing the Loan, whether prior to or after the Closing Date, documentation and processing fees, printing, photostating and duplicating expenses, air freight charges, escrow fees, costs of inspections of the Collateral, and premiums of hazard insurance policies and surety bonds. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the Loan to pay such expenses, charges, costs, and fees notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amount. Lender may make such disbursements notwithstanding the fact that the Loan is not “in balance” or that Borrower is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursement shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Lender to make such disbursements. However, the provision of this Section 8.9 shall not prevent Borrower from paying such expense, charges, costs, and fees from its own funds. All such expenses, charges, costs, and fees shall be Borrower’s obligation regardless of whether or not Borrower has requested and met the conditions for an Advance. The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.9 shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay such expenses, charges, costs, and fees at any time by a disbursement of the Loan.
 
8.10  Disclaimer by Lender. Lender shall not be liable to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, laborer, architect, engineer, or any other party for services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Collateral.

Borrower is not and shall not be an agent of Lender or Collateral Agent for any purpose. Neither Lender nor Collateral Agent is a joint venture partner with Borrower in any manner whatsoever. Prior to default by Borrower under this Agreement and the exercise of remedies granted herein, neither Lender nor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to the Collateral, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor, subcontractor, or provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by Lender or Collateral Agent. Approvals granted by Lender or Collateral Agent for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any written approval or, if not in writing, such approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Borrower.
 
8.11  Indemnification.

Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim, or demand asserted by a third party that Lender or Collateral Agent believes is covered by this indemnity, Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall give Borrower notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with legal counsel satisfactory to Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may also require Borrower to so defend the matter.

The action alleges that Borrower infringed upon two of epicRealm’s patents that cover systems and methods for managing dynamic Web page generation requests from clients to a Web server that in turn uses a page server to generate a dynamic Web page using content retrieved from a data source. Borrower denies the patent infringement and believes that the epicRealm claims are invalid. This litigation is currently in the discovery phase and Borrower intends to vigorously defend the matter.

SCHEDULE 5.20
 
MANAGEMENT COMMON STOCK LOAN PROGRAM
 
During fiscal 2000, certain of our management personnel borrowed funds from an external lender, on a full-recourse basis, to acquire shares of our common stock. The loan program closed during fiscal 2001 with 3.825 million shares of common stock purchased by the loan participants for a total cost of $33.6 million, which was the market value of the shares acquired and distributed to loan participants. The Company initially participated on these management common stock loans as a guarantor to the lending institution. However, in connection with a new credit facility obtained during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, we acquired the loans from the external lender at fair value and are now the creditor for these loans. The loans in the management stock loan program historically accrued interest at 9.4 percent (compounded quarterly), are full-recourse to the participants, and were originally due in March 2005. Although interest accrues on the outstanding balance over the life of the loans, the Company ceased recording interest receivable (and related interest income) related to these loans during the third quarter of fiscal 2002. However, loan participants remain obligated to pay all accrued interest upon maturity of the loans.
 
In May 2004, our Board of Directors approved modifications to the terms of the management stock loans. While these changes had significant implications for most management stock loan program participants, the Company did not formally amend or modify the stock loan program notes. Rather, the Company chose to forego certain of its rights under the terms of the loans and granted participants the modifications described below in order to potentially improve their ability to pay, and the Company’s ability to collect, the outstanding balances of the loans. These modifications to the management stock loan terms applied to all current and former employees whose loans do not fall under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Loans to the Company’s officers and directors (as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) were not affected by the approved modifications. During fiscal 2005 the Company collected $0.8 million, which represented payment in full, from an officer and members of the Board of Directors that were required to repay their loans on the original due date of March 30, 2005.
 
The May 2004 modifications to the management stock loan terms included the following:
 
 
 
Waiver of Right to Collect - The Company will waive its right to collect the outstanding balance of the loans prior to the earlier of (a) March 30, 2008, or (b) the date after March 30, 2005 on which the closing price of the Company’s stock multiplied by the number of shares purchased equals the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the management stock loans (the Breakeven Date).
 
 
 
 
 
Lower Interest Rate - Effective May 7, 2004, the Company prospectively waived collection of all interest on the loans in excess of 3.16 percent per annum, which was the “Mid-Term Applicable Federal Rate” for May 2004.
 
 
 
 
 
Use of the Company’s Common Stock to Pay Loan Balances - The Company may consider receiving shares of our common stock as payment on the loans, which were previously only payable in cash.
 
 
 
 
 
Elimination of the Prepayment Penalty - The Company will waive its right to charge or collect any prepayment penalty on the management common stock loans.

These modifications, including the reduction of the loan program interest rate, were not applied retroactively and participants remain obligated to pay interest previously accrued using the original interest rate. Also during fiscal 2005, our Board of Directors approved loan modifications for a former executive officer and a former director substantially similar to loan modifications previously granted to other loan participants in the management stock loan program as described above.
 
Prior to the May 2004 modifications, the Company accounted for the loans and the corresponding shares using a loan-based accounting model that included guidance found in SAB 102, Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues; SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of A Loan - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15; and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. However, due to the nature of the May 2004 modifications, the Company reevaluated its accounting for the management stock loan program. Based upon guidance found in EITF Issue 00-23, Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44, and EITF Issue 95-16, Accounting for Stock Compensation Agreements with Employer Loan Features under APB Opinion No. 25, we determined that the management common stock loans should be accounted for as non-recourse stock compensation instruments. While this accounting treatment does not alter the legal rights associated with the loans to the employees as described above, the modifications to the terms of the loans were deemed significant enough to adopt the non-recourse accounting model as described in EITF 00-23. As a result of this accounting treatment, the remaining carrying value of the notes and interest receivable related to financing common stock purchases by related parties, which totaled $7.6 million prior to the loan term modifications, was reduced to zero with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital. Since the Company was unable to control the underlying management common stock loan shares, the loan program shares continued to be included in Basic earnings per share (EPS) following the May 2004 modifications.
 
We currently account for the management common stock loans as equity-classified stock option arrangements. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which we adopted on September 1, 2005, additional compensation expense will be recognized only if the Company takes action that constitutes a modification which increases the fair value of the arrangements. This accounting treatment also precludes us from reversing the amounts expensed as additions to the loan loss reserve, totaling $29.7 million, which were recognized in prior periods.
 
During fiscal 2006, the Company offered participants in the management common stock loan program the opportunity to formally modify the terms of their loans in exchange for placing their shares of common stock purchased through the loan program in an escrow account that allows the Company to have a security interest in the loan program shares. The key modifications to the management common stock loans for the participants accepting the fiscal 2006 offer are as follows:
 

 
 
Modification of Promissory Note - The management stock loan due date was changed to be the earlier of (a) March 30, 2013, or (b) the Breakeven Date as defined by the May 2004 modifications. The interest rate on the loans will increase from 3.16 percent compounded annually to 4.72 percent compounded annually.
 
 
 
 
 
Redemption of Management Loan Program Shares - The Company will have the right to redeem the shares on the due date in satisfaction of the promissory notes as follows:

 
·
On the Breakeven Date, the Company has the right to purchase and redeem from the loan participants the number of loan program shares necessary to satisfy the participant’s obligation under the promissory note. The redemption price for each such loan program share will be equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Breakeven Date.
 
 
 
 
·
If the Company’s stock has not closed at or above the breakeven price on or before March 30, 2013, the Company has the right to purchase and redeem from the participants all of their loan program shares at the closing price on that date as partial payment on the participant’s obligation.

The fiscal 2006 modifications were intended to give the Company a measure of control of the outstanding loan program shares and to facilitate payment of the loans should the market value of the Company’s stock equal the principal and accrued interest on the management stock loans. If a loan participant declines the offer to modify their management stock loan, their loan will continue to have the same terms and conditions that were previously approved in May 2004 by the Company’s Board of Directors and their loans will be due at the earlier of March 30, 2008 or the Breakeven Date. Consistent with the May 2004 modifications, stock loan participants will be unable to realize a gain on the loan program shares unless they pay cash to satisfy the promissory note obligation prior to the due date. As of the closing date of the extension offer, which was substantially completed in June 2006, management stock loan participants holding approximately 3,508,000 shares, or 94 percent of the remaining loan shares, elected to accept the extension offer and placed their management stock loan shares into the escrow account.
 
As a result of this modification, the Company reevaluated its accounting treatment regarding the loan shares and their inclusion in Basic EPS. Since the management stock loan shares held in the escrow account continue to have the same income participation rights as other common shareholders, the Company has determined that the escrowed loan shares are participating securities as defined by EITF 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128. As a result, the management loan shares will be included in the calculation of Basic EPS in periods of net income and excluded from Basic EPS in periods of net loss beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, which was the completion of the escrow agreement modification.
 
As a result of these loan program modifications, the Company hopes to increase the total value received from loan participants; however, the inability of the Company to collect all, or a portion, of these receivables could have an adverse impact upon our financial position and future cash flows compared to full collection of the loans.

All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in such order and manner as Holder may from time to time determine in its reasonable discretion.
 
 
(b)
If any payment required under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days after such payment is due, then, at the option of Holder, Maker shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such payment or Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00), whichever is greater, up to the maximum amount of One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge to compensate Holder for administrative expenses and other costs of delinquent payments.

(c)
Upon a continuing Event of Default or upon maturity by acceleration, Holder, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, do one or both of the following, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Holder: (i) increase the applicable interest rate on this Note to the Default Interest Rate, and (ii) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate). The interest rate hereunder will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Application of the Default Interest Rate will not cure any Event of Default.
 
8. SECURITY; GUARANTY.
 
This Note is secured by one or more liens and security interests upon the Collateral, as more particularly set forth in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and payments hereunder are unconditionally guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty.

(b)
The occurrence of any event of default under any of the other Loan Documents.
 
10. REMEDIES.
 
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, then at the option of Holder, the entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the Loan Documents shall, without demand or notice, immediately become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and so long as such Event of Default shall continue), without notice or demand, the entire balance of principal hereof, together with all accrued interest thereon, all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, and any judgment for such principal, interest, and other amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. Maker may also, at its election, add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the Default Interest Rate. The Interest Rate under this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law under any circumstances. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents hereof shall operate as a waiver of such right and no application of the Default Interest Rate or addition of interest to principal shall constitute an election of remedies by Holder nor shall any such exercise of any right cure any Event of Default under the Loan Documents.
 
11. WAIVER.
 
 
(a)
Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties of this Note hereby waive diligence, demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and notice of nonpayment, and all other notices or demands of any kind (except notices specifically provided for in the Loan Documents) and expressly agree that, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, Holder may extend any maturity date or the time for payment of any installment due hereunder, otherwise modify the Loan Documents, accept additional security, release any Person liable, and release any security or guaranty.

12. CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, OR WAIVER.
 
No provision of this Note may be changed, discharged, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge, termination, or waiver is sought.

13. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
 
If this Note is not paid when due or if any Event of Default occurs, Maker promises to pay all costs of enforcement and collection and preparation therefor, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any action or proceeding is brought to enforce the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, all such costs incurred in connection with any bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings (whether at the trial or appellate level)) or with regard to any arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding.
 
14. SEVERABILITY.

Holder and Maker agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah. In such event, if any holder of this Note shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum rate shall, at the option of Holder, be credited to the payment of other amounts payable under the Loan Documents or returned to Maker.
 
16. NUMBER AND GENDER.

The proceeds of any casualty insurance in respect of any casualty loss of any of the Collateral shall, subject to the rights, if any, of other parties with an interest having priority in the property covered thereby, (a) so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be disbursed to Debtor for direct application by Debtor solely to the repair or replacement of Debtor’s property so damaged or destroyed, and (b) in all other circumstances, be held by Collateral Agent as cash collateral for the Obligations.

12.  Collateral Protection Expenses; Preservation of Collateral.
 
12.1  Expenses Incurred by Collateral Agent or Secured Party.

Debtor agrees to reimburse Collateral Agent or such Secured Party on demand for all expenditures so made. Neither Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party shall have any obligation to Debtor to make any such expenditures, nor shall the making thereof be construed as the waiver or cure of any Default or Event of Default.
 
12.2  Collateral Agent’s Obligations and Duties. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Debtor shall remain obligated and liable under each contract or agreement comprised in the Collateral to be observed or performed by Debtor thereunder. Collateral Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any such contract or agreement by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by Collateral Agent of any payment relating to any of the Collateral, nor shall Collateral Agent be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of Debtor under or pursuant to any such contract or agreement, to make inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by Collateral Agent in respect of the Collateral or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party under any such contract or agreement, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to Collateral Agent or to which Collateral Agent may be entitled at any time or times. Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safe keeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9a-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with such Collateral in the same manner as Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account.
 
13.  Securities and Deposits. Collateral Agent may at any time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at its sole option, transfer to itself or any nominee any securities constituting Collateral, receive any income thereon and hold such income as additional Collateral or apply it to the Obligations. Whether or not any Obligations are due, Collateral Agent may following and during the continuance of an Event of Default, demand, sue for, collect, or make any settlement or compromise which it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral. Regardless of the adequacy of Collateral or any other security for the Obligations and during the continuance of an Event of Default, any deposits or other sums at any time credited by or due from Collateral Agent to Debtor may at any time be applied to or set off against any of the Obligations. If Collateral Agent exercises such setoff right, Collateral Agent exercising such right agrees promptly to notify Debtor after any such setoff and application made by Collateral Agent; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
 
14.  Notification to Account Debtors and Other Persons Obligated on Collateral. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Debtor shall, at the request and option of Collateral Agent, notify account debtors and other persons obligated on any of the Collateral of the security interest of Collateral Agent in any account, chattel paper, general intangible, instrument or other Collateral and that payment thereof is to be made directly to Collateral Agent or to any financial institution designated by Collateral Agent as Collateral Agent’s agent therefor, and Collateral Agent may itself, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to or demand upon Debtor, so notify account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral. After the making of such a request or the giving of any such notification, Debtor shall hold any proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Debtor as trustee for Collateral Agent without commingling the same with other funds of Debtor and shall turn the same over to Collateral Agent in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements or assignments. Collateral Agent shall ratably distribute to each Secured Party the proceeds of collection of accounts, chattel paper, general intangibles, instruments and other Collateral received by Collateral Agent, for application by each Secured Party to the Obligations, such proceeds to be immediately credited after final payment in cash or other immediately available funds of the items giving rise to them.

15.1  Appointment and Powers of Collateral Agent. Debtor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of Debtor or in Collateral Agent’s own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments that may be necessary or useful to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, hereby gives said attorneys the power and right, on behalf of Debtor, without notice to or assent by Debtor, to do the following:
 
(a)  upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, generally to sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise dispose of or deal with any of the Collateral in such manner as is consistent with the Uniform Commercial Code and as fully and completely as though Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at Debtor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things which Collateral Agent deems necessary or useful to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and Collateral Agent’s security interest therein, in order to effect the intent of this Agreement, all at least as fully and effectively as Debtor might do, including, without limitation, (i) the filing and prosecuting of registration and transfer applications with the appropriate federal, state, local or other agencies or authorities with respect to trademarks, copyrights and patentable inventions and processes, (ii) upon written notice to Debtor, the exercise of voting rights with respect to voting securities, which rights may be exercised, if Collateral Agent so elects, with a view to causing the liquidation of assets of the issuer of any such securities, and (iii) the execution, delivery and recording, in connection with any sale or other disposition of any Collateral, of the endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to such Collateral;
 
(b)  to the extent that Debtor’s authorization given in Section 3 is not sufficient, to file such financing statements with respect hereto, with or without Debtor’s signature, or a photocopy of this Agreement in substitution for a financing statement, as Collateral Agent may deem appropriate and to execute in Debtor’s name such financing statements and amendments thereto and continuation statements which may require Debtor’s signature; and
 
(c)  to file for record, at Borrower’s cost and expense and in Borrower’s name, any notices that Collateral Agent considers necessary or desirable to protect the Collateral.
 
15.2  Ratification by Debtor. To the extent permitted by law, Debtor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. This power of attorney is a power coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.
 
15.3  No Duty on Collateral Agent. The powers conferred on Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for the amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to Debtor for any act or failure to act, except for Collateral Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
16.  Rights and Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Collateral Agent, without any other notice to or demand upon Debtor, shall have in any jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought, in addition to all other rights and remedies, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and any additional rights and remedies which may be provided to a secured party in any jurisdiction in which Collateral is located, including, without limitation, the right to take possession of the Collateral, and for that purpose Collateral Agent may, so far as Debtor can give authority therefor, enter upon any premises on which the Collateral may be situated and remove the same therefrom. During continuance of an Event of Default, Collateral Agent may in its discretion require Debtor to assemble all or any part of the Collateral at such location or locations within the jurisdiction(s) of Debtor’s principal office(s) or at such other locations as Collateral Agent may reasonably designate. Unless the Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Collateral Agent shall give to Debtor at least ten Business Days prior written notice of the time and place of any public sale of Collateral or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition is to be made. Debtor hereby acknowledges that ten Business Days prior written notice of such sale or sales shall be reasonable notice. In addition, Debtor waives any and all rights that it may have to a judicial hearing in advance of the enforcement of any of Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies hereunder, including, without limitation, its right following an Event of Default to take immediate possession of the Collateral and to exercise its rights and remedies with respect thereto.
 
17.  Standards for Exercising Rights and Remedies. To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Collateral Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Collateral Agent (a) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Collateral Agent to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to fail to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (b) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (c) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to fail to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (d) to exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (e) to advertise dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (f) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as Debtor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (g) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (h) to dispose of Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (i) to dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (j) to disclaim disposition warranties, (k) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Collateral Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Collateral Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (l) to the extent deemed appropriate by Collateral Agent, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Collateral Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 17 is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Collateral Agent would fulfill Collateral Agent’s duties under the Uniform Commercial Code or other law of the State of Utah or any other relevant jurisdiction in Collateral Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to fail to fulfill such duties solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 17. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 17 shall be construed to grant any rights to Debtor or to impose any duties on Collateral Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 17.
 
18.  No Waiver by Collateral Agent, etc. Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies in respect of the Obligations or the Collateral unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed by Collateral Agent. No delay or omission on the part of Collateral Agent in exercising any right or remedy shall operate as a waiver of such right or remedy or any other right or remedy. A waiver on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion. All rights and remedies of Collateral Agent with respect to the Obligations or the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly, alternatively, successively or concurrently at such time or at such times as Collateral Agent deems expedient.
 
19.  Suretyship Waivers by Debtor. Debtor waives demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of this Agreement, notice of loans made, credit extended, Collateral received or delivered or other action taken in reliance hereon and all other demands and notices of any description. With respect to both the Obligations and the Collateral, Debtor assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of or failure to perfect any security interest in any Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromising or adjusting of any thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as Collateral Agent may deem advisable. Collateral Agent shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income therefrom, the preservation of rights against prior parties, or the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto beyond the safe custody thereof as set forth in Section 12.2. Debtor further waives any and all other suretyship defenses.
 
20.  Marshalling. Collateral Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including but not limited to the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights and remedies, however existing or arising. To the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under this Agreement or under any other instrument creating or evidencing any of the Obligations or under which any of the Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, Debtor hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.
 
21.  Proceeds of Dispositions; Expenses. Debtor shall pay to Collateral Agent on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Collateral Agent in protecting, preserving or enforcing Collateral Agent’s rights and remedies under or in respect of any of the Obligations or any of the Collateral. After deducting all of said expenses, the residue of any proceeds of collection or sale or other disposition of the Collateral shall, to the extent actually received in cash, be distributed ratably to each Secured Party, which shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations in such order or preference as each Secured Party may determine, proper allowance and provision being made for any Obligations not then due. Upon the final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and after making any payments required by Sections 9-608(a)(1)(C) or 9a-615(a)(3) of the Uniform Commercial Code, any excess shall be returned to Debtor. In the absence of final payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations, Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.
 
22.  Overdue Amounts. Until paid, all amounts due and payable by Debtor hereunder shall be a debt secured by the Collateral and shall bear, whether before or after judgment, interest at the rate of interest for overdue principal set forth in the Loan Documents.
 
23.  CHOICE OF LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH OR, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH A PARTY SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY.

24.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF DEBTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED UPON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH OF DEBTOR AND COLLATERAL AGENT (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
 
25.  WAIVER OF SPECIAL DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DEBTOR SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST COLLATERAL AGENT, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO DIRECT OR ACTUAL DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS, THE LOAN OR THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS THEREOF.
 
26.  MISCELLANEOUS WAIVERS. WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDINGS RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT (EACH, A “PROCEEDING”), DEBTOR IRREVOCABLY (A) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS HAVING JURISDICTION IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE, COUNTY OF SALT LAKE AND STATE OF UTAH, AND (B) WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE AT ANY TIME TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT, WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY PROCEEDING HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, THAT SUCH COURT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER SUCH PARTY. NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL PRECLUDE COLLATERAL AGENT FROM BRINGING A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION NOR WILL THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY ONE OR MORE JURISDICTIONS PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF A PROCEEDING IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. DEBTOR FURTHER AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY PROCEEDING IN ANY UTAH STATE OR UNITED STATES COURT SITTING IN THE CITY OF SALT LAKE AND COUNTY OF SALT LAKE MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, DIRECTED TO DEBTOR AT THE ADDRESS INDICATED IN THE GUARANTY OR THE LOAN AGREEMENT, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE UPON RECEIPT; EXCEPT THAT IF DEBTOR SHALL REFUSE TO ACCEPT DELIVERY, SERVICE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL HAVE BEEN SO MAILED.
 
27.  Miscellaneous. The headings of each section of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not define or limit the provisions thereof. This Agreement and all rights and obligations hereunder shall be binding upon Debtor and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of Collateral Agent and its successors and assigns. If any term of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity of all other terms hereof shall in no way be affected thereby, and this Agreement shall be construed and be enforceable as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable term had not been included herein. Debtor acknowledges receipt of a copy of this Agreement. All notices required or permitted hereunder shall be made in the manner required or permitted by the Uniform Commercial Code and otherwise in accordance with the terms and at the addresses set forth in the Chase Loan Agreement and the Chase Guaranty.

Guarantor has made all filings and is in good standing in the State of Utah, and in each other jurisdiction in which the character of the property it owns or the nature of the business it transacts makes such filings necessary and where failure to make such filings would result in a Material Adverse Change.
 
(c)  Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantor Loan Documents by Guarantor are within Guarantor’s corporate, limited liability company or partnership powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary action by Guarantor and its directors, shareholders, members, managers and partners, as applicable.
 
(d)  No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance of the Guarantor Loan Documents by Guarantor will not violate (1) any provision of the Guarantor Operating Documents; (2) any legal requirement affecting Guarantor or any of Guarantor’s respective properties except where a violation of such requirement would not result in a Material Adverse Change; or (3) any agreement to which Guarantor is bound or to which Guarantor is a party, except where a violation of any such agreement would not result in a Material Adverse Change, and will not result in or require the creation (except as provided in or contemplated by this Guaranty and the Loan Agreement) of any Lien or Encumbrance upon any of such properties.
 
(e)  No Approvals, etc. All governmental or regulatory orders, consents, permits, authorizations and approvals required for the present use and operation of the Guarantor’s business and the Collateral pledged by Guarantor have been obtained and are in full force and effect, except where failure to obtain such orders, consents, permits, authorizations or approvals would not result in a Material Adverse Change. To the knowledge of Guarantor, no additional governmental or regulatory actions, filings or registrations with respect to the Guarantor’s business and the Collateral pledged by Guarantor, and no approvals, authorizations or consents of any trustee or holder of any Indebtedness or obligation of Guarantor are required for the due execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of their respective duties and obligations under the Guarantor Loan Documents.
 
(f)  Binding Obligations. This Guaranty and the other Guarantor Loan Documents have been duly executed by Guarantor, and are the legally valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Requirements of Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.
 
(g)  Solvency. After giving effect to this Guaranty, Guarantor is solvent. As used in the preceding sentence, “solvent” means, with respect to any person, that at the time of determination:
 
(i)  the fair value of its assets, both at fair valuation and at present fair saleable value, is in excess of the total amount of its liabilities, including, without limitation, contingent claims; and
 
(ii)  it is then able and expects to be able to pay its debts as they mature; and
 
(iii)  it has capital sufficient to carry on its business as conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
 
Contingent liabilities (such as litigation, guaranties, including but not limited to this Guaranty, and pension plan liabilities) shall be computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount which can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
 
(h)  Inducement. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is being executed and delivered in connection with, and as an inducement for Lender to extend, various credit accommodations to Borrower that are beneficial to the ongoing business and operations of Borrower and Guarantor.
 
5.  GUARANTOR COVENANTS. Until the Obligations are paid and performed in full, Guarantor agrees that, unless Lender otherwise agrees in writing in Lender’s absolute and sole discretion:
 
(a)  Keeping Informed About Borrower and Transaction. Guarantor understands the Obligations and the Guarantor Obligations and has had access to information about the financial condition of Borrower and the ability of Borrower to perform the Obligations. Guarantor assumes responsibility for acquiring and maintaining all necessary information concerning the financial condition of the Borrower, and any and all endorsers and other guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and Guarantor hereby agrees that Lender shall have no duty to advise Guarantor of information known to Lender regarding such condition or circumstances.
 
(b)  Transfer of Assets. Unless such action would result in a Material Adverse Change (without taking into consideration subsections (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Material Adverse Change), Guarantor may sell, convey, transfer, assign or dispose of Guarantor’s properties or assets, or any right, title or interest, or any part thereof, or enter into any lease covering all or any portion thereof or an undivided interest therein, either voluntarily, involuntarily, or otherwise; provided, however, that Guarantor shall not sell, transfer, lease, or otherwise dispose of all or any substantial part of its properties or assets other than such a sale, transfer, lease or disposition to Borrower or another Guarantor.

8.  SUBORDINATION. If from time to time Borrower shall have liabilities or obligations to Guarantor, such liabilities and obligations and any and all assignments as security, grants in trust, liens, mortgages, security interests, other encumbrances, and other interests and rights securing such liabilities and obligations shall at all times be fully subordinate with respect to (a) assignment as security, grant in trust, lien, mortgage, security interest, other encumbrance, and other interest and right (if any), (b) time and right of payment and performance, and (c) rights against any collateral therefor (if any), to payment and performance in full of the Obligations and the right of Lender to realize upon any or all Collateral. Guarantor agrees that such liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Guarantor shall not be secured by any assignment as security, grant in trust, lien, mortgage, security interest, other encumbrance or other interest or right in any property, interests in property, or rights to property of Borrower and that during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall not pay, and Guarantor shall not receive, payments of any or all liabilities or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor until after payment and performance of the Obligations in full, unless Lender consents thereto in writing. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, during the continuance of an Event of Default, Guarantor receives any payment from Borrower, such payment shall be held in trust by Guarantor for the benefit of Lender, shall be segregated from the other funds of Guarantor, and shall forthwith be paid by Guarantor to Lender and applied to payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due. To secure this Guaranty, Guarantor grants to Lender a lien and security interest in all liabilities and obligations of Borrower to Guarantor, in any assignments as security, grants in trust, liens, mortgages, security interests, other encumbrances, other interests or rights securing such liabilities and obligations, and in all of Guarantor’s right, title, and interest in and to any payments, property, interests in property, or rights to property acquired or received by Guarantor from Borrower in respect of any liabilities or obligations of Borrower to Guarantor.
 
9.  LIMITATION ON OBLIGATIONS. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by Guarantor or Lender, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section 9 with respect to the Maximum Liability of Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Lender hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 9 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.
 
10.  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER. The rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and non-exclusive. Delay, discontinuance, or failure to exercise any right or remedy of Lender shall not be a waiver thereof, of any other right or remedy of Lender, or of the time of the essence provision. Exercise of any right or remedy of Lender shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done in response to any Event of Default.
 
11.  SURVIVAL. The representations, warranties, and covenants of Guarantor in this Guaranty shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty.
 
12.  INTEGRATION, ENTIRE AGREEMENT, CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, WAIVER, APPROVAL, CONSENT, ETC. This Guaranty contains the complete understanding and agreement of Guarantor and Lender and supersedes all prior representations, warranties, agreements, arrangements, understandings, and negotiations. No provision of this Guaranty may be changed, discharged, supplemented, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the parties thereto. Delay or failure by Lender to insist on performance of any obligation when due or compliance with any other term or condition in this Guaranty shall not operate as a waiver thereof or of any other obligation, term, or condition or of the time of the essence provision. Acceptance of late payments or performance shall not be a waiver of the time of the essence provision, the right of Lender to require that subsequent payments or performance be made when due, or the right of Lender to declare an Event of Default if subsequent payments or performance are not made when due. Any approval, consent, or statement that a matter is satisfactory by Lender under this Guaranty must be in writing executed by Lender and shall apply only to the person(s) and facts specifically set forth in the writing.
 
13.  BINDING EFFECT. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and their successors and assigns, and the executors, legal administrators, personal representatives, heirs, devisees, and beneficiaries of Guarantor, provided, however, that Guarantor may not delegate any of its obligations under this Guaranty and any purported delegation shall be void. Lender may from time to time in its absolute and sole discretion assign its rights and delegate its obligations under the Loan Documents, in whole or in part, without notice to or consent by Guarantor (including, without limitation, participation). In addition to any greater or lesser limitation provided by law, Guarantor shall not assert against any assignee of Lender any claims or defenses Guarantor may have against Lender, except claims and defenses, if any, arising under this Guaranty.
 
14.  COSTS, EXPENSES, AND FEES. Guarantor shall promptly pay to Lender, upon demand, with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs and other expenses paid or incurred by Lender in enforcing or exercising its rights or remedies created by, connected with or provided for in this Guaranty.
 
15.  SEVERABILITY. If any provision or any part of any provision of this Guaranty is unenforceable, the enforceability of the other provisions or the other provisions and the remainder of the subject provision, respectively, shall not be affected and they shall remain in full force and effect.
 
16.  CHOICE OF LAW. THIS GUARANTY AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF UTAH WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ALL ACTIONS OR PROCEEDINGS ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER GUARANTOR LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE TRIED AND LITIGATED IN THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH OR, IN ANY OTHER COURT IN WHICH A PARTY SHALL INITIATE LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDINGS AND WHICH HAS SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION OVER THE MATTER IN CONTROVERSY. EACH OF GUARANTOR, AND BY ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, LENDER WAIVES, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT EACH MAY HAVE TO ASSERT THE DOCTRINE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR TO OBJECT TO VENUE TO THE EXTENT ANY PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF SALT LAKE, STATE OF UTAH.
 
17.  TIME OF THE ESSENCE. Time is of the essence with regard to each provision of this Guaranty as to which time is a factor.

All notices, requests, demands and consents to be made hereunder to the parties hereto shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or sent by registered mail or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested (except for any notice address which is a post office box, in which case notice may be given by first class mail), through the United States Postal Service to the addresses shown below, or such other address which the parties may provide to one another in accordance herewith.

19.  JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. This Guaranty may be executed by more than one person, and in such event the obligations hereunder shall be the joint and several obligations of each such person. Each reference to Guarantor shall be a reference to each person executing this Guaranty individually and to all such persons collectively. Each Guarantor’s liability is independent of the obligations of the other Guarantors. Lender may bring an action against any Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, whether an action is brought against the other Guarantors.
 
20.  PARTIAL PERFORMANCE. Guarantor’s performance of a portion, but not all, of the Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for the Obligations which are not performed. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Lender is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce Guarantor’s covenant to perform a portion of the Obligations, such judgment shall in no way be deemed to release Guarantor from its covenant to perform any portion of the Obligations which is not the subject of the suit.
 
21.  INDEMNIFICATION OF LENDER. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, GUARANTOR AGREES TO PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND SAVE HARMLESS LENDER, ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, AND EMPLOYEES FOR, FROM, AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, EXPENSE, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE AND FOR, FROM, AND AGAINST ANY SUITS, CLAIMS, OR DEMANDS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND EXPENSES ON ACCOUNT OF ANY MATTER OR THING OR ACTION, WHETHER IN SUIT OR NOT, ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, EXCLUDING HOWEVER, ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ANY MATTERS ARISING AFTER LENDER HAS TAKEN TITLE TO OR POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL PLEDGED BY ANY GUARANTOR DOCUMENT. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim, or demand asserted by a third party that Lender believes is covered by this indemnity, Lender shall give Guarantor notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Guarantor's sole cost and expense, with legal counsel satisfactory to Lender. Lender may also require Guarantor to so defend the matter. The obligations on the part of Guarantor under this Section 21 shall survive the payment and performance of the Obligations.
 
22.  RESCISSION OR RETURN OF PAYMENTS. If at any time or from time to time, whether before or after payment and performance of the Obligations in full, all or any part of any amount received by Lender in payment of, or on account of, any Obligation is or must be, or is claimed to be, avoided, rescinded, or returned by Lender to Guarantor or any other person for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Guarantor or any other person), such Obligation and any liens and encumbrances that secured such Obligation at the time such avoided, rescinded, or returned payment was received by Lender shall be deemed to have continued in existence or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been received.
 
23.  COUNTERPART EXECUTION. This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same document. Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Guaranty to physically form one document. Facsimile signature pages will be acceptable, provided originally signed signature pages are provided to each of the other parties by overnight courier.
 
24.  RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In addition to any other rights and remedies of Lender, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, including the failure of Guarantor to timely perform any obligation hereunder, Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, without prior notice to Guarantor (any such notice being waived by Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law) to set-off and apply any and all deposits or deposit accounts (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Guarantor against any and all obligations of Guarantor under the Loan Documents, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such amounts owed may be contingent or unmatured.

8.9  Payment of Expenses. Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid all taxes and assessments and all expenses, charges, costs, and fees provided for in this Agreement or relating to the Loan or the Collateral, including, without limitation, any fees incurred for recording or filing any of the Loan Documents, fees of any consultants, reasonable fees and expenses of Lender’s or Collateral Agent’s counsel in negotiating, documenting, administering and enforcing the Loan, whether prior to or after the Closing Date, documentation and processing fees, printing, photostating and duplicating expenses, air freight charges, escrow fees, costs of inspections of the Collateral, and premiums of hazard insurance policies and surety bonds. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender to disburse the proceeds of the Loan to pay such expenses, charges, costs, and fees notwithstanding that Borrower may not have requested a disbursement of such amount. Lender may make such disbursements notwithstanding the fact that the Loan is not “in balance” or that Borrower is in default under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Such disbursement shall be added to the outstanding principal balance of the Note. The authorization hereby granted shall be irrevocable, and no further direction or authorization from Borrower shall be necessary for Lender to make such disbursements. However, the provision of this Section 8.9 shall not prevent Borrower from paying such expense, charges, costs, and fees from its own funds. All such expenses, charges, costs, and fees shall be Borrower’s obligation regardless of whether or not Borrower has requested and met the conditions for an Advance. The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.9 shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment thereof. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, to pay such expenses, charges, costs, and fees at any time by a disbursement of the Loan.
 
8.10  Disclaimer by Lender. Lender shall not be liable to any contractor, subcontractor, supplier, laborer, architect, engineer, or any other party for services performed or materials supplied in connection with the Collateral.

Borrower is not and shall not be an agent of Lender or Collateral Agent for any purpose. Neither Lender nor Collateral Agent is a joint venture partner with Borrower in any manner whatsoever. Prior to default by Borrower under this Agreement and the exercise of remedies granted herein, neither Lender nor Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to the Collateral, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor, subcontractor, or provider of services be deemed to create any third party beneficiary status or recognition of same by Lender or Collateral Agent. Approvals granted by Lender or Collateral Agent for any matters covered under this Agreement shall be narrowly construed to cover only the parties and facts identified in any written approval or, if not in writing, such approvals shall be solely for the benefit of Borrower.
 
8.11  Indemnification. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BORROWER AGREES TO PROTECT, INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND SAVE HARMLESS LENDER OR COLLATERAL AGENT, THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, ATTORNEYS, AND EMPLOYEES FOR, FROM, AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, EXPENSE, OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND OR NATURE AND FOR, FROM, AND AGAINST ANY SUITS, CLAIMS, OR DEMANDS, INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY’S FEES AND EXPENSES ON ACCOUNT OF ANY MATTER OR THING OR ACTION, WHETHER IN SUIT OR NOT, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, EXCLUDING HOWEVER, ANY MATTERS ARISING OUT OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR ANY MATTERS ARISING AFTER EITHER OF LENDER OR COLLATERAL AGENT HAS TAKEN TITLE TO OR POSSESSION OF THE COLLATERAL. Upon receiving knowledge of any suit, claim, or demand asserted by a third party that Lender or Collateral Agent believes is covered by this indemnity, Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall give Borrower notice of the matter and an opportunity to defend it, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, with legal counsel satisfactory to Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be. Lender or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, may also require Borrower to so defend the matter. The obligations on the part of Borrower under this Section 8.11 shall survive the closing of the Loan and the repayment thereof.

8.14  Brokers. Borrower and Lender represent to each other that neither of them knows of any brokerage commissions or finders’ fee due or claimed with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby. Borrower and Lender shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party for, from and against any and all loss, damage, liability, or expense, including costs and reasonable attorney fees, which such other party may incur or sustain by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation by the indemnifying party with respect to the foregoing.
 
8.15  Change, Discharge, Termination, or Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, discharged, terminated, or waived except in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge, termination, or waiver is sought.

Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign, transfer, negotiate, or grant participations in all or any part of the Loan or the Note to one or more participants. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that any such disposition will give rise to a direct obligation of Borrower to each such participant. Lender may at any time, without the consent of Borrower, assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and the Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. Borrower shall have the right, without any obligation to pay the Early Termination Fee, to terminate the Loan prior to the Maturity Date within ninety (90) days after receiving written notice from Lender that it intends to assign or grant participations in the Loan, provided that Borrower otherwise complies with the requirements of Section 2.6(c) hereof.

epicRealm Licensing, LLC v. Franklin Covey Co., et al., Case No. 2:05-CV-00356-DF-CMC in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, Marshall Division (has been consolidated with Case No. 2:05-CV-00163-DF-CMC). In August 2005, epicRealm Licensing, LLC (epicRealm) filed an action against Borrower for patent infringement. The action alleges that Borrower infringed upon two of epicRealm’s patents that cover systems and methods for managing dynamic Web page generation requests from clients to a Web server that in turn uses a page server to generate a dynamic Web page using content retrieved from a data source. Borrower denies the patent infringement and believes that the epicRealm claims are invalid. This litigation is currently in the discovery phase and Borrower intends to vigorously defend the matter.

SCHEDULE 5.20
 
MANAGEMENT COMMON STOCK LOAN PROGRAM
 
During fiscal 2000, certain of our management personnel borrowed funds from an external lender, on a full-recourse basis, to acquire shares of our common stock. The loan program closed during fiscal 2001 with 3.825 million shares of common stock purchased by the loan participants for a total cost of $33.6 million, which was the market value of the shares acquired and distributed to loan participants. The Company initially participated on these management common stock loans as a guarantor to the lending institution. However, in connection with a new credit facility obtained during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001, we acquired the loans from the external lender at fair value and are now the creditor for these loans. The loans in the management stock loan program historically accrued interest at 9.4 percent (compounded quarterly), are full-recourse to the participants, and were originally due in March 2005. Although interest accrues on the outstanding balance over the life of the loans, the Company ceased recording interest receivable (and related interest income) related to these loans during the third quarter of fiscal 2002. However, loan participants remain obligated to pay all accrued interest upon maturity of the loans.
 
In May 2004, our Board of Directors approved modifications to the terms of the management stock loans. While these changes had significant implications for most management stock loan program participants, the Company did not formally amend or modify the stock loan program notes. Rather, the Company chose to forego certain of its rights under the terms of the loans and granted participants the modifications described below in order to potentially improve their ability to pay, and the Company’s ability to collect, the outstanding balances of the loans. These modifications to the management stock loan terms applied to all current and former employees whose loans do not fall under the provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Loans to the Company’s officers and directors (as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) were not affected by the approved modifications. During fiscal 2005 the Company collected $0.8 million, which represented payment in full, from an officer and members of the Board of Directors that were required to repay their loans on the original due date of March 30, 2005.
 
The May 2004 modifications to the management stock loan terms included the following:
 
 
 
Waiver of Right to Collect - The Company will waive its right to collect the outstanding balance of the loans prior to the earlier of (a) March 30, 2008, or (b) the date after March 30, 2005 on which the closing price of the Company’s stock multiplied by the number of shares purchased equals the outstanding principal and accrued interest on the management stock loans (the Breakeven Date).
 
 
 
 
 
Lower Interest Rate - Effective May 7, 2004, the Company prospectively waived collection of all interest on the loans in excess of 3.16 percent per annum, which was the “Mid-Term Applicable Federal Rate” for May 2004.
 
 
 
 
 
Use of the Company’s Common Stock to Pay Loan Balances - The Company may consider receiving shares of our common stock as payment on the loans, which were previously only payable in cash.
 
 
 
 
 
Elimination of the Prepayment Penalty - The Company will waive its right to charge or collect any prepayment penalty on the management common stock loans.

These modifications, including the reduction of the loan program interest rate, were not applied retroactively and participants remain obligated to pay interest previously accrued using the original interest rate. Also during fiscal 2005, our Board of Directors approved loan modifications for a former executive officer and a former director substantially similar to loan modifications previously granted to other loan participants in the management stock loan program as described above.
 
Prior to the May 2004 modifications, the Company accounted for the loans and the corresponding shares using a loan-based accounting model that included guidance found in SAB 102, Selected Loan Loss Allowance Methodology and Documentation Issues; SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of A Loan - an Amendment of FASB Statements No. 5 and 15; and SFAS No. 5, Accounting for Contingencies. However, due to the nature of the May 2004 modifications, the Company reevaluated its accounting for the management stock loan program. Based upon guidance found in EITF Issue 00-23, Issues Related to the Accounting for Stock Compensation under APB Opinion No. 25 and FASB Interpretation No. 44, and EITF Issue 95-16, Accounting for Stock Compensation Agreements with Employer Loan Features under APB Opinion No. 25, we determined that the management common stock loans should be accounted for as non-recourse stock compensation instruments. While this accounting treatment does not alter the legal rights associated with the loans to the employees as described above, the modifications to the terms of the loans were deemed significant enough to adopt the non-recourse accounting model as described in EITF 00-23. As a result of this accounting treatment, the remaining carrying value of the notes and interest receivable related to financing common stock purchases by related parties, which totaled $7.6 million prior to the loan term modifications, was reduced to zero with a corresponding reduction in additional paid-in capital. Since the Company was unable to control the underlying management common stock loan shares, the loan program shares continued to be included in Basic earnings per share (EPS) following the May 2004 modifications.
 
We currently account for the management common stock loans as equity-classified stock option arrangements. Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123R, which we adopted on September 1, 2005, additional compensation expense will be recognized only if the Company takes action that constitutes a modification which increases the fair value of the arrangements. This accounting treatment also precludes us from reversing the amounts expensed as additions to the loan loss reserve, totaling $29.7 million, which were recognized in prior periods.
 
During fiscal 2006, the Company offered participants in the management common stock loan program the opportunity to formally modify the terms of their loans in exchange for placing their shares of common stock purchased through the loan program in an escrow account that allows the Company to have a security interest in the loan program shares. The key modifications to the management common stock loans for the participants accepting the fiscal 2006 offer are as follows:
 

 
 
Modification of Promissory Note - The management stock loan due date was changed to be the earlier of (a) March 30, 2013, or (b) the Breakeven Date as defined by the May 2004 modifications. The interest rate on the loans will increase from 3.16 percent compounded annually to 4.72 percent compounded annually.
 
 
 
 
 
Redemption of Management Loan Program Shares - The Company will have the right to redeem the shares on the due date in satisfaction of the promissory notes as follows:

 
·
On the Breakeven Date, the Company has the right to purchase and redeem from the loan participants the number of loan program shares necessary to satisfy the participant’s obligation under the promissory note. The redemption price for each such loan program share will be equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Breakeven Date.
 
 
 
 
·
If the Company’s stock has not closed at or above the breakeven price on or before March 30, 2013, the Company has the right to purchase and redeem from the participants all of their loan program shares at the closing price on that date as partial payment on the participant’s obligation.

The fiscal 2006 modifications were intended to give the Company a measure of control of the outstanding loan program shares and to facilitate payment of the loans should the market value of the Company’s stock equal the principal and accrued interest on the management stock loans. If a loan participant declines the offer to modify their management stock loan, their loan will continue to have the same terms and conditions that were previously approved in May 2004 by the Company’s Board of Directors and their loans will be due at the earlier of March 30, 2008 or the Breakeven Date. Consistent with the May 2004 modifications, stock loan participants will be unable to realize a gain on the loan program shares unless they pay cash to satisfy the promissory note obligation prior to the due date. As of the closing date of the extension offer, which was substantially completed in June 2006, management stock loan participants holding approximately 3,508,000 shares, or 94 percent of the remaining loan shares, elected to accept the extension offer and placed their management stock loan shares into the escrow account.
 
As a result of this modification, the Company reevaluated its accounting treatment regarding the loan shares and their inclusion in Basic EPS. Since the management stock loan shares held in the escrow account continue to have the same income participation rights as other common shareholders, the Company has determined that the escrowed loan shares are participating securities as defined by EITF 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128. As a result, the management loan shares will be included in the calculation of Basic EPS in periods of net income and excluded from Basic EPS in periods of net loss beginning in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006, which was the completion of the escrow agreement modification.
 
As a result of these loan program modifications, the Company hopes to increase the total value received from loan participants; however, the inability of the Company to collect all, or a portion, of these receivables could have an adverse impact upon our financial position and future cash flows compared to full collection of the loans.

All prepayments shall be applied to the indebtedness owing hereunder in such order and manner as Holder may from time to time determine in its reasonable discretion.
 
 
(b)
If any payment required under this Note is not paid within ten (10) days after such payment is due, then, at the option of Holder, Maker shall pay a late charge equal to five percent (5.0%) of the amount of such payment or Twenty-Five and No/100 Dollars ($25.00), whichever is greater, up to the maximum amount of One Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($1,500.00) per late charge to compensate Holder for administrative expenses and other costs of delinquent payments.

(c)
Upon a continuing Event of Default or upon maturity by acceleration, Holder, at its option, may also, if permitted under applicable law, do one or both of the following, in addition to any other right or remedy available to Holder: (i) increase the applicable interest rate on this Note to the Default Interest Rate, and (ii) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the rate provided in this Note (including any increased rate). The interest rate hereunder will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. Application of the Default Interest Rate will not cure any Event of Default.
 
8. SECURITY; GUARANTY.
 
This Note is secured by one or more liens and security interests upon the Collateral, as more particularly set forth in the Loan Agreement and other Loan Documents, and payments hereunder are unconditionally guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to the Guaranty.

(b)
The occurrence of any event of default under any of the other Loan Documents.
 
10. REMEDIES.
 
Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default, then at the option of Holder, the entire balance of principal together with all accrued interest thereon, and all other amounts payable by Maker under the Loan Documents shall, without demand or notice, immediately become due and payable. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (and so long as such Event of Default shall continue), without notice or demand, the entire balance of principal hereof, together with all accrued interest thereon, all other amounts due under the Loan Documents, and any judgment for such principal, interest, and other amounts shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate. Maker may also, at its election, add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will bear interest therefrom until paid at the Default Interest Rate. The Interest Rate under this Note will not exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law under any circumstances. No delay or omission on the part of Holder in exercising any right under this Note or under any of the other Loan Documents hereof shall operate as a waiver of such right and no application of the Default Interest Rate or addition of interest to principal shall constitute an election of remedies by Holder nor shall any such exercise of any right cure any Event of Default under the Loan Documents.
 
11. WAIVER.
 
 
(a)
Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties of this Note hereby waive diligence, demand for payment, presentment for payment, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, notice of dishonor, and notice of nonpayment, and all other notices or demands of any kind (except notices specifically provided for in the Loan Documents) and expressly agree that, without in any way affecting the liability of Maker, endorsers, guarantors, or sureties, Holder may extend any maturity date or the time for payment of any installment due hereunder, otherwise modify the Loan Documents, accept additional security, release any Person liable, and release any security or guaranty. Maker, endorsers, guarantors, and sureties waive, to the full extent permitted by law, the right to plead any and all statutes of limitations as a defense.

12. CHANGE, DISCHARGE, TERMINATION, OR WAIVER.
 
No provision of this Note may be changed, discharged, terminated, or waived except in a writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of the change, discharge, termination, or waiver is sought. No failure on the part of Holder to exercise and no delay by Holder in exercising any right or remedy under this Note or under the law shall operate as a waiver thereof.
 
13. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
 
If this Note is not paid when due or if any Event of Default occurs, Maker promises to pay all costs of enforcement and collection and preparation therefor, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not any action or proceeding is brought to enforce the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, all such costs incurred in connection with any bankruptcy, receivership, or other court proceedings (whether at the trial or appellate level)) or with regard to any arbitration or other dispute resolution proceeding.
 
14. SEVERABILITY.
 
If any provision of this Note is unenforceable, the enforceability of the other provisions shall not be affected and they shall remain in full force and effect.

Holder and Maker agree that none of the terms and provisions contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents shall be construed to create a contract for the use, forbearance or detention of money requiring payment of interest at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah. In such event, if any holder of this Note shall collect monies which are deemed to constitute interest which would otherwise increase the effective interest rate on this Note to a rate in excess of the maximum rate permitted to be charged by the laws of the State of Utah, all such sums deemed to constitute interest in excess of such maximum rate shall, at the option of Holder, be credited to the payment of other amounts payable under the Loan Documents or returned to Maker.
 
16. NUMBER AND GENDER.
 
In this Note the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter gender, and vice versa.

This Section 9 with respect to the Maximum Liability of Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of Lender hereunder to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and neither Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section 9 with respect to the Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law.
10.               RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF LENDER.  The rights and remedies of Lender shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.  Delay, discontinuance, or failure to exercise any right or remedy of Lender shall not be a waiver thereof, of any other right or remedy of Lender, or of the time of the essence provision.  Exercise of any right or remedy of Lender shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done in response to any Event of Default.

13.               BINDING EFFECT.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of Lender and their successors and assigns, and the executors, legal administrators, personal representatives, heirs, devisees, and beneficiaries of Guarantor, provided, however, that Guarantor may not delegate any of its obligations under this Guaranty and any purported delegation shall be void.  Lender may from time to time in its absolute and sole discretion assign its rights and delegate its obligations under the Loan Documents, in whole or in part, without notice to or consent by Guarantor (including, without limitation, participation).  In addition to any greater or lesser limitation provided by law, Guarantor shall not assert against any assignee of Lender any claims or defenses Guarantor may have against Lender, except claims and defenses, if any, arising under this Guaranty.

22.               RESCISSION OR RETURN OF PAYMENTS.  If at any time or from time to time, whether before or after payment and performance of the Obligations in full, all or any part of any amount received by Lender in payment of, or on account of, any Obligation is or must be, or is claimed to be, avoided, rescinded, or returned by Lender to Guarantor or any other person for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Guarantor or any other person), such Obligation and any liens and encumbrances that secured such Obligation at the time such avoided, rescinded, or returned payment was received by Lender shall be deemed to have continued in existence or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been received.
23.               COUNTERPART EXECUTION.  This Guaranty may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original and all of which together will constitute one and the same document.  Signature pages may be detached from the counterparts and attached to a single copy of this Guaranty to physically form one document.  Facsimile signature pages will be acceptable, provided originally signed signature pages are provided to each of the other parties by overnight courier.

The Bank is providing the guarantor(s) with a copy of this letter as a courtesy only. The delivery of a copy of this letter does not create any obligation of the Bank to provide the guarantor(s) with notice of any changes to the credit facilities, including without limitation, changes to the terms and conditions, increases or decreases in the amount of the credit facilities, the establishment of new credit facilities or otherwise. The Bank may, or may not, at its option, provide the guarantor(s) with such information, provided that the Bank will provide such information upon the written request of the guarantor.
 
 
 
SCHEDULE A
STANDARD TERMS AND CONDITIONS
 
 
1.INTEREST RATE DEFINITIONS
 
Prime Rate means the rate of interest per annum (based on a 365/366 day year) established and reported by the Bank to the Bank of Canada from time to time as the reference rate of interest for determination of interest rates that the Bank charges to customers of varying degrees of creditworthiness in Canada for Canadian dollar loans made by it in Canada.
 
The Stamping Fee rate per annum for CDN$ B/As is based on a 365/366 day year and the Stamping Fee is calculated on the Face Amount of each B/A presented to the Bank for acceptance.  The Stamping Fee rate per annum for US$ B/As is based on a 360 day year and the Stamping Fee is calculated on the Face Amount of each B/A presented to the Bank for acceptance.
 
LIBOR means the rate of interest per annum (based on a 360 day year) as determined by the Bank (rounded upwards, if necessary to the nearest whole multiple of 1/16th of 1%) at which the Bank may make available United States dollars which are obtained by the Bank in the Interbank Euro Currency Market, London, England at approximately 11:00 a.m. (Toronto time) on the second Business Day before the first day of, and in an amount similar to, and for the period similar to the interest period of, such advance.
 
USBR means the rate of interest per annum (based on a 365/366 day year) established by the Bank from time to time as the reference rate of interest for the determination of interest rates that the Bank charges to customers of varying degrees of creditworthiness for US dollar loans made by it in Canada.
 
Any interest rate based on a period less than a year expressed as an annual rate for the purposes of the Interest Act (Canada) is equivalent to such determined rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the same is to be ascertained and divided by the number of days in the period upon which it was based.
 
2. INTEREST CALCULATION AND PAYMENT  
 
Interest on Prime Based Loans and USBR Loans is calculated daily and payable monthly in arrears based on the number of days  the subject loan is outstanding unless otherwise provided in the Rate and Payment Terms Notice.
 
The Stamping Fee is calculated based on the amount and the term of the B/A and payable upon acceptance by the Bank of the B/A. The net proceeds received by the Borrower on a B/A advance will be equal to the Face Amount of the B/A discounted at the Bank's then prevailing B/A discount rate for CDN$ B/As or US$ B/As as the case may be, for the specified term of the B/A less the B/A Stamping Fee.
 
Interest on LIBOR Loans is calculated and payable on the earlier of contract maturity or quarterly in arrears, for the number of days in the LIBOR interest period.
 
L/C and L/G fees are payable at the time set out in the Letter of Credit Indemnity Agreement applicable to the issued L/C or L/G.
 
Interest on Fixed Rate Term Loans is compounded monthly and payable monthly in arrears unless otherwise provided in the Rate and Payment Terms Notice.
 
Interest is payable both before and after maturity or demand, default and judgment.
 
Each payment under this Agreement shall be applied first in payment of costs and expenses, then interest and fees and the balance, if any, shall be applied in reduction of principal.
 
For loans not secured by real property, all overdue amounts of principal and interest and all amounts outstanding in excess of the Credit Limit shall bear interest from the date on which the same became due or from when the excess was incurred, as the case may be, until the date of payment or until the date the excess is repaid at 21% per annum, or such lower interest rate if the Bank agrees to a lower interest rate in writing.  Nothing in this clause shall be deemed to authorize the Borrower to incur loans in excess of the Credit Limit.
 
3. DRAWDOWN PROVISIONS
 
Prime Based and USBR Loans
There is no minimum amount of drawdown by way of Prime Based Loans and USBR Loans, except as stated in the section of the Agreement titled "Business Credit Services Agreement", if that section of the Agreement has not been deleted.

B/As

The Borrower will provide the Bank with 3 Business Days' notice of a requested LIBOR Loan.
 
L/C and/or L/G
The Bank shall have the discretion to restrict the maturity date of L/Gs or L/Cs.
 
B/A - Prime Conversion
The Borrower will provide the Bank with at least 3 Business Days' notice of its intention either to convert a B/A to a Prime Based Loan or vice versa, failing which, the Bank may decline to accept such additional B/As or may charge interest on the amount of Prime Based Loans resulting from maturity of B/As at the rate of 115% of the rate applicable to Prime Based Loans for the 3 Business Day period immediately following such maturity.  Thereafter, the rate shall revert to the rate applicable to Prime Based Loans.
 
Notice
Prior to each drawdown and at least 10 days prior to each Rate Term Maturity, the Borrower will advise the Bank of its selection of drawdown options from  those made available by the Bank.  The Bank will, after each drawdown, other than drawdowns by way of BA, LIBOR Loan or under the operating loan, send a Rate and Payment Terms Notice to the Borrower.
 
4. PREPAYMENT
 
(a)     10% Prepayment Option Chosen.  If the Borrower has elected a 10% Prepayment Option for a Facility the following shall apply to all Fixed Rate Loans made under that Facility.  Each calendar year, ("Year"), the Borrower may prepay in one lump sum, once each Year, an amount outstanding under a Fixed Rate Term Loan not exceeding 10% of the original amount of the Fixed Rate Term Loan being prepaid, upon payment of all interest accrued to the date of prepayment ("Prepayment Date") without paying any prepayment charge, provided that an Event of Default has not occurred.  This privilege is not cumulative from Year to Year.
 
(b)     10% Prepayment Option Not Chosen or Borrower Prepaying More than 10%.  During each Year, the Borrower may, provided that an Event of Default has not occurred:

if it has chosen the 10% Prepayment Option, prepay more than 10% of the original amount of the Fixed Rate Term Loan being prepaid, in any Year,
 
in either case, upon payment of all interest accrued to the Prepayment Date and prepayment charges equal to the greater of:
 
(a)     three months' interest on the amount of the prepayment (and in the case where the Borrower has chosen the 10% Prepayment Option, the amount of prepayment is the amount of prepayment exceeding the 10% limit) using the interest rate applicable to the Fixed Rate Term Loan being prepaid; and
 
(b)     the Interest Rate Differential, being the amount by which:
 
the total amount of interest on the amount of the prepayment using the interest rate applicable to the Fixed Rate Term Loan being prepaid calculated for the period of time equal to the Remaining Term, exceeds
the total amount of interest on the amount being prepaid using the interest rate applicable to a fixed rate term loan that the Bank would make to a borrower for a comparable facility on the Prepayment Date, calculated for the period of time from the Prepayment Date until the Rate Term Maturity Date for the Fixed Rate Term Loan being prepaid ("Remaining Term").
