 1. Reference to Securities Purchase Agreement; Definitions; Certain Rules of Construction. Reference is made to the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the
date hereof, as from time to time in effect (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), among Antigenics Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Buyers and the Agent. Capitalized terms defined in the
Securities Purchase Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings so defined. Certain other capitalized terms are used in this Agreement as specifically defined below in this Section 1. Except as the context
otherwise explicitly requires, (a) the capitalized term “Section” refers to sections of this Agreement, (b) the capitalized term “Exhibit” refers to exhibits to this Agreement, (c) references to a particular
Section shall include all subsections thereof, (d) the word “including” shall be construed as “including without limitation”, (e) references to a particular statute or regulation include all rules and regulations
thereunder and any successor statute, regulation or rules, in each case as from time to time in effect and (f) references to a particular Person include such Person’s successors and assigns to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents. References to “the date hereof” mean the date first set forth above. 
 1.1.
“Agreement” means this Guarantee as from time to time in effect. 
 1.2. “Bankruptcy Code” means Title 11
of the United States Code. 
 1.3. “Credit Obligations” means all present and future liabilities, obligations and
Indebtedness of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Obligor owing to the Agent or any Buyer (or any Affiliate of a Buyer) under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. 
 1.4. “Credit Security” is defined in section 2.1 of the Pledge Agreement. 
 1.5. “Default” means any Event of Default and any event or condition which with the passage of time or giving of notice, or both, would

 1.8. “Pledge Agreement” means the Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of the date
hereof, between the Borrower and the Agent. 
 1.9. “Obligors” means the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries of the
Borrower party hereto from time to time. 
 1.10. “Subsidiary” means any person of which the Borrower (or other specified
Person) shall at the time, directly or indirectly through one or more of its subsidiaries, (a) own at least 50% of the outstanding capital stock (or other shares of beneficial interest) entitled to vote generally, (b) hold at lest 50% of
the partnership, joint venture or similar interests or (c) be a general partner or joint venturer. 
 2. Guarantee. 
 2.1. Guarantee of Credit Obligations. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”) that the Credit Obligations will
be performed and paid in full in cash when due and payable, whether at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof or otherwise, this guarantee being a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and being absolute and in no way conditional or
contingent. In the event any part of the Credit Obligations shall not have been so paid in full when due and payable, the Guarantor will, immediately upon notice by the Agent pay or cause to be paid to the Agent for the account of each Buyer in
accordance with the Buyers’ respective percentage interests therein the amount of such Credit Obligations which are then due and payable and unpaid. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the invalidity,
unenforceability or irrecoverability of any of the Credit Obligations as against the Borrower, any other Obligor, any other guarantor thereof or any other Person. For purposes hereof, the Credit Obligations shall be due and payable when and as the
same shall be due and payable under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document notwithstanding the fact that the collection or enforcement thereof may be stayed or enjoined under Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable law. 
 2.2. Continuing Obligation. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Buyers have entered into the Securities Purchase
Agreement (and, to the extent that the Buyers or the Agent may enter into any future Transaction Document, will have entered into such agreement) in reliance on this Section 2 being a continuing irrevocable agreement, and the Guarantor agrees
that its guarantee may not be revoked in whole or in part. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall terminate when all of the Credit Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and discharged; provided, however,
that: 
 (a) if a claim is made upon the Buyers at any time for repayment or recovery of any amounts or any property received
by the Buyers from any source on account of any of the Credit Obligations and the Buyers repay or return any amounts or property so received (including interest thereon to the extent required to be paid by the Buyers) or 
 (b) if the Buyers become liable for any part of such claim by reason of (i) any judgment or order of any court or administrative
authority having competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim, 
  

 2 

 then the Guarantor shall remain liable under this Agreement for the amounts so repaid or property so returned or the
amounts for which the Buyers become liable (such amounts being deemed part of the Credit Obligations) to the same extent as if such amounts or property had never been received by the Buyers, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the cancellation
of any instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Credit Obligations. Not later than five days after receipt of notice from the Agent, the Guarantor shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the amount of such repayment or return for which the
Buyers have so become liable. Payments hereunder by the Guarantor may be required by the Agent on any number of occasions. 
 2.3.
Spin-off, Termination. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall terminate upon the consummation of a stock purchase agreement or other business combination (including,
without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off or scheme of arrangement) pursuant to which at least 10% of the outstanding shares of the Guarantor are acquired at a pre-money valuation amount of at least $60,000,000. 
 2.4. Waivers with Respect to Credit Obligations. Except to the extent expressly required by the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, the Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law, all of the following (including all defenses, counterclaims and other rights of any nature based upon any of the following): 

(a) presentment, demand for payment and protest of nonpayment of any of the Credit Obligations, and notice of protest, dishonor or
nonperformance; 
 (b) notice of acceptance of this guarantee and notice that credit has been extended in reliance on the
Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Obligations; 
 (c) notice of any Default or of any inability to enforce performance
of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Person with respect to any Transaction Document or notice of any acceleration of maturity of any Credit Obligations; 
 (d) demand for performance or observance of, and any enforcement of any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Credit
Obligations or any other Transaction Document or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies with respect to any Credit Security or against the Borrower or any other Person in respect of the Credit Obligations or any requirement of diligence or
promptness on the part of the Agent or the Buyers in connection with any of the foregoing; 
 (e) any act or omission on the
part of the Agent or the Buyers which may impair or prejudice the rights of the Guarantor, including rights to obtain subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any other reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Person, or
otherwise operate as a deemed release or discharge; 
 (f) failure or delay to perfect or continue the perfection of any
security interest in any Credit Security or any other action which harms or impairs the value of, or any failure to preserve or protect the value of, any Credit Security; 
  

 3 

 (g) any statute of limitations or any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than the obligation of the principal; 
 (h) any “single action” or “anti deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Buyers from bringing any action, including any claim for a deficiency, against the Guarantor before or after the Agent’s or the
Buyers’ commencement or completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or any other law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Agent or the Buyers; 
 (i) all demands and notices of every kind with respect to the foregoing; and 
 (j) to the extent not referred to above, all defenses (other than payment) which the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the payment of
the Credit Obligations, together with all suretyship defenses, which could otherwise be asserted by the Guarantor. 
 The Guarantor represents that it has
obtained the advice of counsel as to the extent to which suretyship and other defenses may be available to it with respect to its obligations hereunder in the absence of the waivers contained in this Section 2.3. 
 No delay or omission on the part of the Agent or the Buyers in exercising any right under any other Transaction Document or under any other guarantee of
the Credit Obligations or with respect to the Credit Security shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such right. No action which the Agent or the Buyers or the Borrower or any other Obligor may take or refrain from taking with respect to the
Credit Obligations shall affect the provisions of this Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. None of the Buyers’ or the Agent’s rights shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act
on the part of the Borrower or any other Obligor, or by any noncompliance by the Borrower or any other Obligor with any Transaction Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agent or the Buyers may have or otherwise be charged with.

 2.5. Buyers’ Power to Waive, etc. The Guarantor grants to the Agent and the Buyers full power in their discretion, without
notice to or consent of such Guarantor, such notice and consent being expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and without in any way affecting the liability of the Guarantor under its guarantee hereunder: 
 (a) To waive compliance with, and any Default under, and to consent to any amendment to or modification or termination of any provision
of, or to give any waiver in respect of, the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Credit Security, the Credit Obligations or any guarantee thereof (each as from time to time in effect); 
 (b) To grant any extensions of the Credit Obligations (for any duration), and any other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any
total or partial release (by operation of law or otherwise), discharge, compromise or settlement with respect to the obligations of the Obligors or any other Person in respect of the Credit Obligations, whether or not rights against the Guarantor
under this Agreement are reserved in connection therewith; 
  

 4 

 (c) To take security in any form for the Credit Obligations, and to consent to the
addition to or the substitution, exchange, release or other disposition of, or to deal in any other manner with, any part of any property contained in the Credit Security whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of such power
shall be of a character or value the same as or different from the character or value of any property disposed of, and to obtain, modify or release any present or future guarantees of the Credit Obligations and to proceed against any of the Credit
Security or such guarantees in any order; 
 (d) To collect or liquidate or realize upon any of the Credit Obligations or the
Credit Security in any manner or to refrain from collecting or liquidating or realizing upon any of the Credit Obligations or the Credit Security; and 
 (e) To extend credit under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise in such amount as the Buyers may determine, including increasing the amount of credit and the interest rate and
fees with respect thereto, even though the condition of the Obligors (financial or otherwise, on an individual or consolidated basis) may have deteriorated since the date hereof. 
 2.6. Information Regarding the Borrower, etc. The Guarantor has made such investigation as it deems desirable of the risks undertaken by it in
entering into this Agreement and is fully satisfied that it understands all such risks. The Guarantor waives any obligation which may now or hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Buyers to inform it of the risks being undertaken by
entering into this Agreement or of any changes in such risks and, from and after the date hereof, the Guarantor undertakes to keep itself informed of such risks and any changes therein. The Guarantor expressly waives any duty which may now or
hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Buyers to disclose to such Guarantor any matter related to the business, operations, character, collateral, credit, condition (financial or otherwise), income or prospects of the Borrower and its
Affiliates or their properties or management, whether now or hereafter known by the Agent or the Buyers. The Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that it assumes sole responsibility for obtaining from the Borrower all information concerning the
Securities Purchase Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and all other information as to the Borrower and its affiliates or their properties or management as the Guarantor deems necessary or desirable. 
 2.7. Certain Guarantor Representations. The Guarantor represents that: 
 (a) it is in its best interest and in pursuit of the purposes for which it was organized as an integral part of the business conducted and
proposed to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and reasonably necessary and convenient in connection with the conduct of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by them, to induce the Buyers to enter into the Securities
Purchase Agreement and to extend credit to the Guarantor by making the Guarantee contemplated by this Section 2; 
  

 5 

 (b) the credit available under the Securities Purchase Agreement will directly or
indirectly inure to its benefit; 
 (c) by virtue of the foregoing it is receiving at least reasonably equivalent value from
the Buyers for its Guarantee; 
 (d) it will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into this Agreement;

 (e) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it will have assets having a fair saleable
value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured; 
 (f) it has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business; 
 (g)
it has the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature; and 
 (h) it has
been advised by the Agent that the Buyers are unwilling to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement unless the Guarantee contemplated by this Section 2 is given by it. 
 2.8. Subrogation. The Guarantor agrees that, until the Credit Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full, it will not exercise any right of
reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset or other claims against the Borrower or any other Obligor arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or required to be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement.
After the payment in full of the Credit Obligations, the Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against the Borrower and the other Obligors all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution and offset, and all such other claims, to the
fullest extent permitted by law. 
 2.9. Subordination. The Guarantor covenants and agrees that all Indebtedness, claims and
liabilities now or hereafter owing by the Borrower or any other Obligor to the Guarantor whether arising hereunder or otherwise are subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Credit Obligations and are so subordinated as a claim against such
Obligor or any of its assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so that no payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or
liability will be made or received while any Event of Default exists and is continuing. 
 3. Representations and Warranties. In order to induce the
Buyers to extend credit under the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Guarantor represents and warrants that: 
 3.1. Organization and
Business. The Guarantor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, with all power and authority, corporate or otherwise, necessary (a) to enter into and
perform this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party and (b) to own its 
  

 6 

 properties and carry on the business now conducted or proposed to be conducted by it. Certified copies of the charter and
by-laws of the Guarantor have been previously delivered to the Agent and are correct and complete. 
 3.2. Authorization and
Enforceability. The Guarantor has taken all corporate action required to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which it is a party. Each of this Agreement and each other Transaction Document to which
the Guarantor is party constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms. 
 3.3. No Legal Obstacle to Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is party, nor the consummation of any transaction referred
to in or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, has constituted or resulted, or will constitute or result, in: 
 (a) Any breach or termination of the provisions of any agreement, instrument, deed or lease to which the Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound, or of the charter or by-laws of the Guarantor; or 
 (b) The violation of any law, statute, judgment, decree or governmental order, rule or regulation applicable to the Guarantor. 

No approval, authorization or other action by, or declaration to or filing with, any governmental or administrative authority or any other Person is required to be
obtained or made by the Guarantor in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to which it is party or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. 
 3.4. Litigation. No litigation, at law or in equity, or any proceeding before any court, board or other governmental or administrative agency or
any arbitrator is pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened which may involve any material risk of any final judgment, order or liability which, after giving effect to any applicable insurance, has resulted, or creates a material
risk of resulting, in any material adverse change in the Guarantor’s business, assets, financial condition, income or prospects or which seeks to enjoin the consummation, or which questions the validity, of any of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No judgment, decree or order of any court, board or other governmental or administrative agency or any arbitrator has been issued against or binds the Guarantor which has resulted, or creates a
material risk of resulting, in any material adverse change in the Guarantor’s business, assets, financial condition, income or prospects. 
 4.
Successors and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the Buyers and their successors and assigns and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns. The Guarantor may not assign
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the written consent of the Agent. 
 5. Notices. Any notice or other communication in
connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to be given if and only if given in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement. 
  

 7 

 6. Reimbursement of Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay at closing the reasonable, direct professional fees, not to
exceed a total payment of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), of the Agent and Buyers in the connection with the preparation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. 
 7. Venue; Service of Process. The Guarantor: 
 (a) Irrevocably submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction of the any New York State or Federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or the subject matter hereof or thereof; 
 (b) Waives to the extent not prohibited by applicable law,
and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in any of the above-named courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that its property is exempt or
immune from attachment or execution, that such proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of any such proceeding is improper, or that this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or the subject matter hereof or thereof, may
not be enforced in or by such court; 
 (c) Consents to service of process in any action or proceeding by registered or
certified mail, return receipt requested, at its address specified in or pursuant to section 5; and 
 (d) Waives to the
extent not prohibited by applicable law that cannot be waived any right it may have to claim or recover in any such proceeding any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
 8. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW WHICH CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH OF THE AGENT AND THE GUARANTOR WAIVES, AND COVENANTS THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT
OR OTHERWISE), ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY FORUM IN RESPECT OF ANY ISSUE, CLAIM, DEMAND OR ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR BASED UPON THIS AGREEMENT, THE SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF OR
THEREOF OR ANY CREDIT OBLIGATION OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THE DEALINGS OF THE AGENT OR THE GUARANTOR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE ABOVE, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE. The
Guarantor acknowledges that it has been informed by the Agent that the provisions of this Section constitute a material inducement upon which each of the Buyers has relied, is relying and will rely in entering into the Securities Purchase Agreement
and any other Transaction Document, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this Section with its counsel. The Agent or the Guarantor may file an original counterpart or a copy of this Section with any court as written evidence of the consent of
the Agent and the Guarantor to the waiver of the right to trial by jury. 
  

 8 

 9. General. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement or any other
Transaction Document or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied on by each Buyer, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Agent on its behalf, and shall survive the execution and delivery to the
Buyers hereof and thereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified so as to be enforced to
the maximum extent of its validity or enforceability. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit, alter or otherwise affect the meaning hereof. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior and current understandings and agreements, whether written or oral. This Agreement is a Transaction Document and may be
executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement and all action taken in connection herewith shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws (other than the conflict of laws rules)

 1.9. “Obligors” means the Borrower, the Guarantor and the Subsidiaries of the
Borrower party hereto from time to time. 
 1.10. “Subsidiary” means any person of which the Borrower (or other specified
Person) shall at the time, directly or indirectly through one or more of its subsidiaries, (a) own at least 50% of the outstanding capital stock (or other shares of beneficial interest) entitled to vote generally, (b) hold at lest 50% of
the partnership, joint venture or similar interests or (c) be a general partner or joint venturer. 
 2. Guarantee. 
 2.1. Guarantee of Credit Obligations. The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”) that the Credit Obligations will be
performed and paid in full in cash when due and payable, whether at the stated or accelerated maturity thereof or otherwise, this guarantee being a guarantee of payment and not of collectability and being absolute and in no way conditional or
contingent. In the event any part of the Credit Obligations shall not have been so paid in full when due and payable, the Guarantor will, immediately upon notice by the Agent pay or cause to be paid to the Agent for the account of each Buyer in
accordance with the Buyers’ respective percentage interests therein the amount of such Credit Obligations which are then due and payable and unpaid. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by the invalidity,
unenforceability or irrecoverability of any of the Credit Obligations as against the Borrower, any other Obligor, any other guarantor thereof or any other Person. For purposes hereof, the Credit Obligations shall be due and payable when and as the
same shall be due and payable under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document notwithstanding the fact that the collection or enforcement thereof may be stayed or enjoined under Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable law. 
 2.2. Continuing Obligation. The Guarantor acknowledges that the Buyers have entered into the Securities Purchase
Agreement (and, to the extent that the Buyers or the Agent may enter into any future Transaction Document, will have entered into such agreement) in reliance on this Section 2 being a continuing irrevocable agreement, and the Guarantor agrees
that its guarantee may not be revoked in whole or in part. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall terminate when all of the Credit Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and discharged; provided, however,
that: 
 (a) if a claim is made upon the Buyers at any time for repayment or recovery of any amounts or any property received
by the Buyers from any source on account of any of the Credit Obligations and the Buyers repay or return any amounts or property so received (including interest thereon to the extent required to be paid by the Buyers) or 
 (b) if the Buyers become liable for any part of such claim by reason of (i) any judgment or order of any court or administrative
authority having competent jurisdiction, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim, 
  

 -5- 

 then the Guarantor shall remain liable under this Agreement for the amounts so repaid or property so returned or the
amounts for which the Buyers become liable (such amounts being deemed part of the Credit Obligations) to the same extent as if such amounts or property had never been received by the Buyers, notwithstanding any termination hereof or the cancellation
of any instrument or agreement evidencing any of the Credit Obligations. Not later than five days after receipt of notice from the Agent, the Guarantor shall pay to the Agent an amount equal to the amount of such repayment or return for which the
Buyers have so become liable. Payments hereunder by the Guarantor may be required by the Agent on any number of occasions. 
 2.3. Waivers
with Respect to Credit Obligations. Except to the extent expressly required by the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by the provisions of applicable law, all of
the following (including all defenses, counterclaims and other rights of any nature based upon any of the following): 
 (a)
presentment, demand for payment and protest of nonpayment of any of the Credit Obligations, and notice of protest, dishonor or nonperformance; 
 (b) notice of acceptance of this guarantee and notice that credit has been extended in reliance on the Guarantor’s guarantee of the Credit Obligations; 
 (c) notice of any Default or of any inability to enforce performance of the obligations of the Borrower or any other Person with respect
to any Transaction Document or notice of any acceleration of maturity of any Credit Obligations; 
 (d) demand for performance
or observance of, and any enforcement of any provision of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Credit Obligations or any other Transaction Document or any pursuit or exhaustion of rights or remedies with respect to any Credit Security or against
the Borrower or any other Person in respect of the Credit Obligations or any requirement of diligence or promptness on the part of the Agent or the Buyers in connection with any of the foregoing; 
 (e) any act or omission on the part of the Agent or the Buyers which may impair or prejudice the rights of the Guarantor, including rights
to obtain subrogation, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or any other reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise operate as a deemed release or discharge; 
 (f) failure or delay to perfect or continue the perfection of any security interest in any Credit Security or any other action which harms
or impairs the value of, or any failure to preserve or protect the value of, any Credit Security; 
 (g) any statute of
limitations or any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than the obligation of the principal; 
 (h) any “single action” or “anti deficiency” law which would otherwise prevent the Buyers from bringing any action,
including any claim for a deficiency, against the Guarantor before or after the Agent’s or the Buyers’ commencement or 
  

 -6- 

 completion of any foreclosure action, whether judicially, by exercise of power of sale or otherwise, or
any other law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Agent or the Buyers; 
 (i) all demands and
notices of every kind with respect to the foregoing; and 
 (j) to the extent not referred to above, all defenses (other than
payment) which the Borrower may now or hereafter have to the payment of the Credit Obligations, together with all suretyship defenses, which could otherwise be asserted by the Guarantor. 
 The Guarantor represents that it has obtained the advice of counsel as to the extent to which suretyship and other defenses may be available to it with
respect to its obligations hereunder in the absence of the waivers contained in this Section 2.3. 
 No delay or omission on the part of
the Agent or the Buyers in exercising any right under any other Transaction Document or under any other guarantee of the Credit Obligations or with respect to the Credit Security shall operate as a waiver or relinquishment of such right. No action
which the Agent or the Buyers or the Borrower or any other Obligor may take or refrain from taking with respect to the Credit Obligations shall affect the provisions of this Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. None of the
Buyers’ or the Agent’s rights shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Borrower or any other Obligor, or by any noncompliance by the Borrower or any other Obligor with any
Transaction Document, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Agent or the Buyers may have or otherwise be charged with. 
 2.4.
Buyers’ Power to Waive, etc. The Guarantor grants to the Agent and the Buyers full power in their discretion, without notice to or consent of such Guarantor, such notice and consent being expressly waived to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, and without in any way affecting the liability of the Guarantor under its guarantee hereunder: 
 (a) To
waive compliance with, and any Default under, and to consent to any amendment to or modification or termination of any provision of, or to give any waiver in respect of, the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document, the Credit
Security, the Credit Obligations or any guarantee thereof (each as from time to time in effect); 
 (b) To grant any
extensions of the Credit Obligations (for any duration), and any other indulgence with respect thereto, and to effect any total or partial release (by operation of law or otherwise), discharge, compromise or settlement with respect to the
obligations of the Obligors or any other Person in respect of the Credit Obligations, whether or not rights against the Guarantor under this Agreement are reserved in connection therewith; 
 (c) To take security in any form for the Credit Obligations, and to consent to the addition to or the substitution, exchange, release or
other disposition of, or to deal in any other manner with, any part of any property contained in the Credit Security whether or not the property, if any, received upon the exercise of such power shall be of a 
  

 -7- 

 character or value the same as or different from the character or value of any property disposed of, and
to obtain, modify or release any present or future guarantees of the Credit Obligations and to proceed against any of the Credit Security or such guarantees in any order; 
 (d) To collect or liquidate or realize upon any of the Credit Obligations or the Credit Security in any manner or to refrain from
collecting or liquidating or realizing upon any of the Credit Obligations or the Credit Security; and 
 (e) To extend credit
under the Securities Purchase Agreement, any other Transaction Document or otherwise in such amount as the Buyers may determine, including increasing the amount of credit and the interest rate and fees with respect thereto, even though the condition
of the Obligors (financial or otherwise, on an individual or consolidated basis) may have deteriorated since the date hereof. 
 2.5.
Information Regarding the Borrower, etc. The Guarantor has made such investigation as it deems desirable of the risks undertaken by it in entering into this Agreement and is fully satisfied that it understands all such risks. The Guarantor
waives any obligation which may now or hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Buyers to inform it of the risks being undertaken by entering into this Agreement or of any changes in such risks and, from and after the date hereof, the
Guarantor undertakes to keep itself informed of such risks and any changes therein. The Guarantor expressly waives any duty which may now or hereafter exist on the part of the Agent or the Buyers to disclose to such Guarantor any matter related to
the business, operations, character, collateral, credit, condition (financial or otherwise), income or prospects of the Borrower and its Affiliates or their properties or management, whether now or hereafter known by the Agent or the Buyers. The
Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that it assumes sole responsibility for obtaining from the Borrower all information concerning the Securities Purchase Agreement and all other Transaction Documents and all other information as to the
Borrower and its affiliates or their properties or management as the Guarantor deems necessary or desirable. 
 2.6. Certain Guarantor
Representations. The Guarantor represents that: 
 (a) it is in its best interest and in pursuit of the purposes for which
it was organized as an integral part of the business conducted and proposed to be conducted by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and reasonably necessary and convenient in connection with the conduct of the business conducted and proposed to be
conducted by them, to induce the Buyers to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement and to extend credit to the Guarantor by making the Guarantee contemplated by this Section 2; 
 (b) the credit available under the Securities Purchase Agreement will directly or indirectly inure to its benefit; 
 (c) by virtue of the foregoing it is receiving at least reasonably equivalent value from the Buyers for its Guarantee; 
 (d) it will not be rendered insolvent as a result of entering into this Agreement; 
  

 -8- 

 (e) after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it will have
assets having a fair saleable value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts as such debts become absolute and matured; 
 (f) it has, and will have, access to adequate capital for the conduct of its business; 
 (g) it has the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature; and 
 (h) it has been advised by the Agent that the Buyers are unwilling to enter into the Securities Purchase Agreement unless the Guarantee
contemplated by this Section 2 is given by it. 
 2.7. Subrogation. The Guarantor agrees that, until the Credit Obligations are
indefeasibly paid in full, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, contribution, offset or other claims against the Borrower or any other Obligor arising by contract or operation of law in connection with any payment made or
required to be made by the Guarantor under this Agreement. After the payment in full of the Credit Obligations, the Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise against the Borrower and the other Obligors all such rights of reimbursement, subrogation,
contribution and offset, and all such other claims, to the fullest extent permitted by law. 
 2.8. Subordination. The Guarantor
covenants and agrees that all Indebtedness, claims and liabilities now or hereafter owing by the Borrower or any other Obligor to the Guarantor whether arising hereunder or otherwise are subordinated to the prior payment in full of the Credit
Obligations and are so subordinated as a claim against such Obligor or any of its assets, whether such claim be in the ordinary course of business or in the event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, insolvency or bankruptcy, so
that no payment with respect to any such Indebtedness, claim or liability will be made or received while any Event of Default exists and is continuing. 
 3.

 3.3. No Legal Obstacle to Agreements. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this

after giving effect to any applicable insurance, has resulted, or creates a material risk of resulting, in any material adverse change in the Guarantor’s business, assets, financial condition, income or prospects or which seeks to enjoin the
consummation, or which questions the validity, of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document. No judgment, decree or order of any court, board or other governmental or administrative agency or any

way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, in any such proceeding brought in any of the above-named courts, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of such court, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or

Transaction Document or in certificates delivered pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to have been relied on by each Buyer, notwithstanding any investigation made by the Agent on its behalf, and shall survive the execution and delivery to the
Buyers hereof and thereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof, and any invalid or unenforceable provision shall be modified so as to be enforced to
