 2. Limited Guaranty; Indemnity; Recourse. (a) Limited Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Lender and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise)
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and hereby agrees that it shall be fully and personally liable for, and shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from and against, all Losses to the extent resulting from any Subject Action and, to the extent provided
in clause (b) of this Section 2, all of the other Guaranteed Obligations. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of the obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be fully recourse to Limited Guarantor in the event of the occurrence of any of the events described in
Section 1(a)(ii). 
 (c) Limited Guarantor further agrees to pay, as and when incurred, any and all expenses (including,
without limitation, all reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel) which are actually incurred by the Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or collecting, any or all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with respect to, or collecting against, the Limited Guarantor under this Limited Guaranty. This Limited Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid in full,
notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto the Borrower may be free from any Obligations. 
 (d) No payment or
payments made by Borrower, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Lender from Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application, at any time or from
time to time, in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Limited Guarantor hereunder. 

(e) Limited Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, the Limited Guarantor shall make any payment to
the Lender on account of the Limited Guarantor’s liability hereunder, the Limited Guarantor will notify the Lender in writing that such payment is made under this Limited Guaranty for such purpose. 

3. Reserved. 
 4.
Subrogation. Upon making any payment hereunder, the Limited Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Lender against the Borrower and any Collateral under the Loan Agreement for any Guaranteed Obligations with respect to such
payment; provided that the Limited Guarantor shall not seek to enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation until the Termination Date. Until ninety-one (91) days after the Termination Date, neither any payment made by
or for the account of Limited Guarantor nor any performance or enforcement of any obligation pursuant to this Limited Guaranty shall entitle the Limited Guarantor by subrogation, indemnity, exoneration, reimbursement, contribution or otherwise to
any payment by Borrower or to any payment from or out of any property of Borrower, and Limited Guarantor shall not exercise any right or remedy against Borrower or any property of Borrower by reason of any performance by Limited Guarantor of this
Limited Guaranty. If any amount shall be paid to the Limited Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights prior to the Termination Date, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to
be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Limited Guaranty. 

  
 4 








 5. Amendments, etc. with Respect to the Obligations. Limited Guarantor shall remain
obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against the Limited Guarantor, and without notice to or further assent by the Limited Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Lender may be
rescinded by the Lender, and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from
time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Lender, and the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and any other document in connection therewith
may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, in accordance with its terms and as the Lender may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Lender
for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The Lender shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for this Limited
Guaranty or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Limited Guarantor, the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on the Borrower or any other guarantor, and any failure by the
Lender to make any such demand or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other guarantor or any release of the Borrower or such other guarantor shall not relieve the Limited Guarantor of its obligations or liabilities hereunder, and
shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Lender against the Limited Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal
proceedings. 
 6. Limited Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. (a) Limited Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation,
renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Lender upon this Limited Guaranty or acceptance of this Limited Guaranty; the Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been
created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Limited Guaranty; and all dealings between Borrower or the Limited Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Lender, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Limited Guaranty. Limited Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon Borrower or the Limited Guaranty with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations. This Limited Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (i) the validity or enforceability of the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Obligations
or any collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Lender, (ii) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may
at any time be available to or be asserted by it or Borrower against the Lender, or (iii) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Borrower or the Limited Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be
construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of the Limited Guarantor under this Limited Guaranty (other than a discharge as a result of payment or performance), in bankruptcy or in any other
instance. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Limited Guarantor, the Lender may, but shall be under no obligation, to pursue such rights and remedies that they may have against the Borrower or any other Person or against any
collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower or any such other Person or to
realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower or any such other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve the Limited
Guarantor of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Lender against the Limited Guarantor. This Limited Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Limited Guarantor and its successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, and its successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until
the Termination Date.

 (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Limited Guarantor hereby
agrees, acknowledges, and represents and warrants to the Lender as follows: 
 (i) To the extent permitted by law, Limited
Guarantor hereby waives any defense arising by reason of, and any and all right to assert against the Lender any claim or defense based upon, an election of remedies by the Lender which in any manner impairs, affects, reduces, releases, destroys
and/or extinguishes Limited Guarantor’s subrogation rights, rights to proceed against Borrower or any other guarantor for reimbursement or contribution, and/or any other rights of the Limited Guarantor to proceed against Borrower, against any
other guarantor, or against any other person or security. 
 (ii) Limited Guarantor is presently informed of the financial
condition of the Borrower and of all other circumstances which diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. The Limited Guarantor hereby covenants that it will make its own investigation and will
continue to keep itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment and that it will continue to rely upon sources other than the Lender for such information and will not
rely upon the Lender for any such information. Absent a written request for such information by the Limited Guarantor to the Lender, Limited Guarantor hereby waives its right, if any, to require the Lender to disclose to Limited Guarantor any
information which the Lender may now or hereafter acquire concerning such condition or circumstances including, but not limited to, the release of or revocation by any other guarantor. 

(iii) Limited Guarantor has independently reviewed the Loan Agreement and related agreements and has made an independent
determination as to the validity and enforceability thereof, and in executing and delivering this Limited Guaranty to the Lender, Limited Guarantor is not in any manner relying upon the validity, and/or enforceability, and/or attachment, and/or
perfection of any Liens or security interests of any kind or nature granted by the Borrower or any other guarantor to the Lender, now or at any time and from time to time in the future. 

7. Reinstatement. This Limited Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment,
or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment of
a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 

8. Payments. The Limited Guarantor hereby agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid to the Lender without deduction,
abatement, recoupment, reduction, set-off or counterclaim in U.S. Dollars and in accordance with the wiring instructions of the Lender.

Guarantor shall promptly inform the Lender in writing upon becoming aware of any of the following: 
 (i) Any Default, Event
of Default or default or breach by Limited Guarantor of any obligation hereunder or under any other Loan Document to which it is a party, or the occurrence or existence of any event or circumstance that Limited Guarantor reasonably expects will with

 (ii) Any
material dispute, licensing issue, litigation, investigation, proceeding or suspension between any Related Party, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or any other Person, on the other hand which, if determined adversely, would be

any dividends or distributions in such amount that will not exceed the amount necessary (disregarding the ability of Parent to make consent dividends within the meaning of Section 565 of the Internal Revenue Code) in order for the Parent to
