Can you please provide a detailed answer to this question and thank you.
"Smartt Software Company borrows $10,000 from Term 'N All Loans, Inc., but cannot repay the loan when it comes due. Term 'N All refuses to extend the time for repayment unless Smartt can provide an acceptable surety. Uno Venture Corporation agrees to act as a surety for the loan after Smartt offers the firm a discount on software and shows Uno financial statements, compiled with Term 'N All's assistance, that misrepresent Smartt's financial situation. Later, after Uno uses the discount to buy software, Smartt again defaults on repayment of the loan, and Term 'N All files a suit against Uno to collect the amount of the debt. Is Uno liable? Why or why not?"
