shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Collateral Agent
or any Buyer under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Notes but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to

    3


     


    

 


(b) Each
Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each Buyer, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all
such Persons that this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance
for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign,
federal, provincial, state, or other applicable law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the Buyers and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the
Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the
Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.


 


Section
3. Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.


 


(a) The
Guarantors, jointly and severally, guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty are
independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor to enforce
such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction Party is joined
in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be as a primary obligor (and not merely as a surety)
and shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted
by law, any defenses it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:


 


(i) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document;


 


(ii) any
change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed
Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or extension of the maturity of any Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise;


 


(iii) any
taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral;


 


(iv)
any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;


 


(v) any
change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Transaction
Party;


 


(vi) any
manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any
manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any Transaction Party under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;


 




    4


     


    

 


(vii) any
failure of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition
(financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the
Collateral Agent or any Buyer (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to disclose such information);


 


(viii) taking
any action in furtherance of the release of any Guarantor or any other Person that is liable for the Obligations from all or any part
of any liability arising under or in connection with any Transaction Document without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent;
or


 


(ix) any
other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by
the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or
any other guarantor or surety.


 


(b) This
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Collateral Agent, any Buyer, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


 


(c) This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other
than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns.
This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors, and
permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any Buyer
may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of any Transaction
Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to
the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement
or such Transaction Document.


 


Section
4. Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, protest, notice
of acceptance and any other notice or formality of any kind with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Collateral Agent exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral.
Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and
that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantors hereby waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty
is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. Without limiting the foregoing,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising
by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Collateral Agent or any Buyer that in any manner impairs,
reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights
of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any
other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed
Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Collateral
Agent or any Buyer to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise),
operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by
the Collateral Agent or a Buyer.

Section
5. Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Transaction Party
or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under
this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and
any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer against any Transaction Party or any other guarantor
or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until
there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately
preceding sentence at any time prior to Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty,
such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be
credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of the Transaction Document, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or other amounts payable
under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the Collateral Agent of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) there has been Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Collateral Agent will, at such Guarantor’s
request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty,
necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment by such Guarantor.

all such payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts,
deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding

If any Guarantor shall be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any
other Transaction Document:


 


(i) the
amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings (including

amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made,


 


(ii) such
Guarantor shall make such deduction or withholding,


 


(iii) such
Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and


 


(iv) as
promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send the Collateral Agent or each Buyer an official receipt (or, if an official
receipt is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, as the case may be) showing payment. 
In addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges
or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement of, or otherwise
with respect to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other
Taxes”).


 


(b) Each
Guarantor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without
limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12)
paid by any Indemnified Party  as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest and
expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date on which the Collateral
Agent or such Buyer makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.


 


(c) If
any Guarantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 12,
such Guarantor shall indemnify the Collateral Agent and each Buyer for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result
of any such failure. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 12
shall survive the termination of this Guaranty and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section
13.  Indemnification.


 


(a) Without
limitation of any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Collateral Agent or the Buyers under this Guaranty or applicable
law, except to the extent resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct, as determined by
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction no longer subject to appeal, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and each Buyer and each of their affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay
on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses
of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure
of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the legal, valid and binding obligations of any Transaction Party enforceable against such Transaction
Party in accordance with their terms.


 


(b) Each
Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort
or otherwise) or any fiduciary duty or obligation to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified

Agent or each Buyer, at such address specified by the Collateral Agent or such Buyer from time to time by notice to the Guarantors.


 


(b) No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and each Buyer, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.


 


(c) No
failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder or under
any other Transaction Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under
any Transaction Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy. The rights and remedies
of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and
not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent and the Buyers under any Transaction

(d) Any
provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


(e) This
Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than inchoate indemnity obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity Date of each Note (other
than Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns.
This Guaranty shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of and be enforceable
by the Collateral Agent, the Buyers, and their respective successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Collateral Agent or any Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion
of its rights and obligations under and subject to the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to
any other Person in accordance with the terms thereof, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to the Collateral Agent or such Buyer (as applicable) herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in the Securities
Purchase Agreement or such Transaction Document. None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise
transferred without the prior written consent of each Buyer.


 


(f) This
Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents reflect the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not be

Section
15. Currency Indemnity.


 


If, for the purpose of obtaining
or enforcing judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any other currency (such
other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due under
this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency, the conversion shall be
made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual payment of the amount due, in
the case of any proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will give effect to such conversion being made on such date,
or (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable
date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15 being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as
the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

If, in the case of any proceeding
in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in the preceding paragraph, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between
the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the amount due in immediately available funds, the Guarantors shall pay
such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually received
in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount of the Obligation
Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of’ the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial order
at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from the Guarantors under this Section 15 shall
be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due under or in respect of this Guaranty.


 


Section
16. Amendment and Restatement. Each party hereto agrees that this Guaranty is an amendment and restatement of the Existing
Guaranty in its entirety and is given in renewal and replacement (but not extinguishment) of the Existing Guaranty.
