(g) Guarantor covenants, warrants, and represents to Lenders that all representations and warranties contained in this Guaranty shall be true at the time of Guarantor's execution and delivery of this Guaranty, and shall continue to be true so long as this Guaranty remains in effect.

Reinstatement.

The determination as to whether any such payment must be rescinded or restored shall be made by Lenders in their sole discretion; provided, however, that if Lenders choose to contest any such matter at the request of Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lenders from all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of such litigation. To the extent any payment is rescinded or restored, Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall be revived in full force and effect without reduction or discharge for that payment. Section 5.
