| In expressing his free faith through cooperative action, James Killian served as chairman of the Standing Committee of the Unitarian Church in Wellesley MA, member of the Board of Directors and Moderator of the American Unitarian Association, and honorary cochair of Cambridge Forum national radio and television public affairs broadcasts. |

| Killian claims that summary judgment was improperly awarded, because a question of fact remains as to whether Centura misrepresented [***7] the terms of the guaranty such that Killian did not fully understand his obligations under the instrument. |
| Although Killian asserts that Centura and Phillips misrepresented the nature of the 1994 Agreement, of which the guaranty was a part, he cannot point to any false or misleading statements made by Centura or Phillips which were reasonably calculated to trick him into signing the guaranty. |
| Thus, Killian was aware that the 1994 Agreement was significantly different from the 1984-85 Agreements, and it was unreasonable for him to assume that his rights and responsibilities would remain the same under the new agreement. |
