(b) The undersigned hereby irrevocably, absolutely, and unconditionally guarantees to each Lender the prompt, complete and full payment,

(c) If the Borrowers shall for any reason fail to pay any Obligation, as and when such Obligation shall become due and payable, whether
at its stated maturity, as a result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, or otherwise, the undersigned will, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay such Obligation in full to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender to
whom such Obligation is owed.

the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel and of any experts or agents retained by the Administrative Agent, which the Administrative Agent may incur as a result of
such failure. 
 (e) The liability of the undersigned hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount of liability that can be
incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Person, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. 






 (f) The books and records of the Lenders showing the amount of any of the Obligations shall
be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantors and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations. 
 SECTION 2. OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE GUARANTY. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Guaranty to the
