Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment received by Purchaser is, on the subsequent bankruptcy or insolvency of Issuer, avoided under any applicable laws, including, among others, laws relating to bankruptcy or insolvency, such payment will not be considered as having discharged or diminished the liability of any Guarantor under its Guarantee and the Guarantee will continue to apply as if such payment had at all times remained owing by Issuer.

SECTION 16. MISCELLANEOUS.
