designated by Secured Party) for itself and the ratable benefit of Tranche B Agent and Lenders as such Debtor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, and authorizes Secured Party, in such Debtor’s or Secured Party’s name, to: (a) at

acts under this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or commission, except as a result of Secured Party’s, Tranche B Agents or any Lender’s own gross negligence or wilful misconduct as determined pursuant to a
final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. 
 3.4 Right to Cure. Secured Party may, at its
option, (a) upon notice to each Debtor, cure any default by such Debtor under any material agreement with a third party that affects the Collateral, its value or the ability of Secured Party to collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the

amounts so expended to the Obligations and charge such Debtor’s account therefor, such amounts to be repayable by each Debtor on demand. Neither Secured Party, Tranche B Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to effect such cure,
payment or bonding and shall not, by doing so, be deemed to have assumed any obligation or liability of any Debtor. Any payment made or other action taken by Secured Party under this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event
of Default hereunder and to proceed accordingly.

of incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary,

	SECTION 6.	EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 

 6.1
Events of Default. The occurrence or existence of any Event of Default under the Loan Agreements is referred to herein individually as an "Event of Default", and collectively as "Events of Default". 
 6.2 Remedies. 
 (a) At any time an
Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party shall have all rights and remedies provided in this Agreement, the other Financing Agreements, the UCC and other applicable law, all of which rights and remedies may be
exercised without notice to or consent by any Debtor or any Obligor, except as such notice or consent is expressly provided for hereunder or required by applicable law. All rights, remedies and powers granted to Secured Party hereunder, under any of
the other Financing Agreements, the UCC or other applicable law, are cumulative, not exclusive and enforceable, in Secured Party’s discretion, alternatively, successively, or concurrently on any one or more occasions, and shall include, without
limitation, the right to apply to a court of equity for an injunction to restrain a breach or threatened breach by any Debtor of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements. Secured Party may, at any time or times, proceed directly
against any Debtor or any Obligor to collect the Obligations without prior recourse to any Obligor or any of the Collateral. 
 (b) Without
limiting the foregoing, at any time an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, Secured Party may, for itself and the ratable benefit of the Tranche B Agent and Lenders and subject to the terms of the Loan Agreements, in its
discretion and, without limitation, (i) accelerate the payment of all Obligations and demand immediate payment thereof to Secured Party (provided, that, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(g) and
9.1(h) of the Loan Agreements, all Obligations shall automatically become immediately due and payable), (ii) with or without judicial process or the aid or assistance of others, enter upon any premises on or in which any of the Collateral may
be located and take possession of the Collateral or complete processing, manufacturing and repair of all or any portion of the Collateral, (iii) require a Debtor, at such Debtor’s expense, to assemble and make available to Secured Party
any part or all of the Collateral at any place and time designated by Secured Party, (iv) collect, foreclose, receive, appropriate, setoff and realize upon any and all Collateral, (v) remove any or all of the Collateral from any premises
on or in which the same may be located for the purpose of effecting the sale, foreclosure or other disposition thereof or for any other purpose, and/or (vi) sell, lease, transfer, assign, deliver or otherwise dispose of any and all Collateral
(including entering into contracts with respect thereto, public or private sales at any exchange, broker’s board, at any office of Secured Party or elsewhere) at such prices or terms as Secured Party may deem reasonable, for cash, upon credit
or for future delivery, with the Secured Party having the right to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral at any such public sale, all of the foregoing being free from any right or equity of redemption of any Debtor, which right or equity
of redemption is hereby expressly waived and released by such Debtor. If any of the Collateral is sold or leased by Secured Party upon credit terms or for future delivery, 

  

 US BORROWERS GSA 
 - 16 - 

 
the Obligations shall not be reduced as a result thereof until payment therefor is finally collected by Secured Party. If notice of disposition of Collateral
is required by law, ten (10) days prior notice by Secured Party to a Debtor designating the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition of Collateral is to be made, shall be deemed to
be reasonable notice thereof and each Debtor waives any other notice. In the event Secured Party institutes an action to recover any Collateral or seeks recovery of any Collateral by way of prejudgment remedy, each Debtor waives the posting of any
bond which might otherwise be required. 
 (c) Secured Party may, at any time or times that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, enforce any Debtor’s rights against any account debtor, secondary obligor or other obligor in respect of any of the Accounts or other Receivables. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secured Party may at such time or
times (i) notify any or all account debtors, secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof that the Receivables have been assigned to Secured Party and that Secured Party has a security interest therein and Secured Party may direct
any or all account debtors, secondary obligors and other obligors to make payment of Receivables directly to Secured Party, (ii) extend the time of payment of, compromise, settle or adjust for cash, credit, return of merchandise or otherwise,
and upon any terms or conditions, any and all Receivables or other obligations included in the Collateral and thereby discharge or release the account debtor or any secondary obligors or other obligors in respect thereof without affecting any of the
Obligations, (iii) demand, collect or enforce payment of any Receivables or such other obligations, but without any duty to do so, and Secured Party shall not be liable for its failure to collect or enforce the payment thereof nor for the
negligence of its agents or attorneys with respect thereto and (iv) take whatever other action Secured Party may deem necessary or desirable for the protection of its interests. At any time that an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is
continuing, at Secured Party’s request, all invoices and statements sent to any account debtor shall state that the Accounts and such other obligations have been assigned to Secured Party and are payable directly and only to Secured Party and
each Debtor shall deliver to Secured Party such originals of documents evidencing the sale and delivery of goods or the performance of services giving rise to any Accounts as Secured Party may require. In the event any account debtor returns
Inventory when an Event of Default exists or has occurred and is continuing, applicable Debtor shall, upon Secured Party’s request, hold the returned Inventory in trust for Secured Party, segregate all returned Inventory from all of its other
property, dispose of the returned Inventory solely according to Secured Party’s instructions, and not issue any credits, discounts or allowances with respect thereto without Secured Party’s prior written consent. 
 (d) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on Secured Party to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner (which duties cannot be
waived under such law), each Debtor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Secured Party (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by Secured Party to prepare Collateral for disposition or
otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by
other law, to fail to obtain consents of any governmental authority or other third party for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against account debtors,
secondary obligors or other persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens or encumbrances on or any adverse claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against account 

  

 US BORROWERS GSA 
 - 17 - 

 
debtors and other persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature, (vi) to contact other persons, whether or not in the same business as a Debtor for expressions of
interest in acquiring all or any portion of the Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the collateral is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of
Collateral by utilizing Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capability of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of assets in
wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim disposition warranties, (xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Secured Party against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to provide to Secured
Party a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Secured Party, to obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist
Secured Party in the collection or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Debtor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by Secured Party would not be commercially
unreasonable in Secured Party’s exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or omissions by Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section. Without
limitation of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to grant any rights to a Debtor or to impose any duties on Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the
absence of this Section. 
 (e) For the purpose of enabling Secured Party to exercise the rights and remedies hereunder, each Debtor hereby
grants to Secured Party, Tranche B Agent and Lenders an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Debtor) to use, assign, license or sublicense any of the trademarks, service-marks, trade
names, business names, trade styles, designs, logos and other source of business identifiers and other Intellectual Property and general intangibles now owned or hereafter acquired by any Debtor, wherever the same maybe located, including in such
license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. 
 (f) Secured Party shall apply the cash proceeds of Collateral actually received by Secured Party from any sale, lease, foreclosure or other disposition
of the Collateral to payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part and in accordance with the Loan Agreements. Each Debtor shall remain liable to Secured Party, Tranche B Agent and Lenders for the payment of any deficiency with interest at the
highest rate provided for in the Loan Agreements and all costs and expenses of collection or enforcement, including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses. 
  

	SECTION 7.	JURY TRIAL WAIVER; OTHER WAIVERS AND CONSENTS; GOVERNING LAW 

 7.1 Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver. 
 (a) The validity,
interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements and any dispute arising out of the relationship between the parties hereto, whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of
the State of Illinois but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would cause the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Illinois. 
  

 US BORROWERS GSA 
 - 18 - 

 (b) Each Debtor and Secured Party irrevocably consent and submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the
Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois whichever Secured Party may elect, and waive any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted
therein arising under this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties hereto in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Financing Agreements or the
transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agree that any dispute with respect to any such matters shall be heard only in the courts
described above (except that Secured Party shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Debtor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Secured Party deems necessary or appropriate in order to realize on
the Collateral or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Debtor or its property). 
 (c) Each Debtor hereby waives personal service of
any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested) directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed
five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Secured Party’s option, by service upon a Debtor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such
service, Debtor shall appear in answer to such process, failing which Debtor shall be deemed in default and judgment may be entered by Secured Party against Debtor for the amount of the claim and other relief requested. 
 (d) EACH DEBTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF
THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF A DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY IN RESPECT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR
THERETO IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH DEBTOR HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT
A JURY AND THAT A DEBTOR OR SECURED PARTY MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF EACH DEBTOR AND SECURED PARTY TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 
 (e) Secured Party shall not have any liability to any Debtor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by a Debtor in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable
judgment or court order binding on Secured Party that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any such litigation, 

  

 US BORROWERS GSA 
 - 19 - 

 
Secured Party shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the
performance by it of the terms of this Agreement and the other Financing Agreements. 
 7.2 Waiver of Notices. Each
Debtor hereby expressly waives demand, presentment, protest and notice of protest and notice of dishonor with respect to any and all instruments and commercial paper, included in or evidencing any of the Obligations or the Collateral, and any and
all other demands and notices of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, the Collateral and this Agreement, except such as are expressly provided for herein. No notice to or demand on a Debtor which Secured Party may elect to
give shall entitle any Debtor to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. 
 7.3
Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written agreement signed by an authorized officer of Secured Party, and as
to amendments, as also signed by an authorized officer of each Debtor. Secured Party shall not, by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver
shall be in writing and signed by an authorized officer of Secured Party. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Secured Party of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall
not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right, power and/or remedy which Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise. 
 7.4 Waiver of Counterclaims. Each Debtor waives all rights to interpose any claims, deductions, setoffs or counterclaims of any
nature (other then compulsory counterclaims) in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, the Obligations, the Collateral or any matter arising therefrom or relating hereto or thereto. 
 (a) Indemnification. Each Debtor shall indemnify and hold Secured Party, Tranche B Agent and Lenders, and their respective directors, agents,
employees and counsel, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any of them in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding
commenced or threatened related to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of this Agreement, any other Financing Agreements, or any undertaking or proceeding related to any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or any act, omission, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, including amounts paid in settlement, court costs, and the fees and expenses of counsel. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in this Section may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public policy, each Debtor shall pay the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay under applicable law to Secured Party in satisfaction of indemnified matters
under this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Debtor shall not assert, and each Debtor hereby waives, any claim against Secured Party, Tranche B Agent and any Lender, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any of the other Financing Agreements or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby. The
foregoing indemnity shall survive the payment of the Obligations and the termination or non-renewal of the Loan Agreements.

 Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central), as Agent 
 150 South Wacker
Drive, Suite 2200 
 Chicago, Illinois 60606 
  

	 	Re:	SMTC Manufacturing Corporation of Massachusetts, SMTC Manufacturing Corporation of California and SMTC Mex Holdings, Inc. (individually, a “Borrower” and collectively,
the “Borrowers”) 

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 WHEREAS Congress Financial Corporation (Central) (“Congress”) (predecessor to Wachovia Capital Finance Corporation (Central) (“Wachovia”)) individually and as collateral agent has
entered into certain financing arrangements with Borrowers and affiliates of Borrowers pursuant to which Congress made loans and provided other financial accommodations to Borrowers and their affiliates set forth in the Loan Agreement dated as of
June 1, 2004 (as amended pursuant to a first amending agreement dated March 31, 2005, a second amending agreement dated August 17, 2005, a third amending agreement dated June 12, 2006, an extension letter dated August 1,
2006 and a fourth amending agreement dated September 20, 2006, collectively, the “Original Loan Agreement”) and other agreements, documents and instruments referred to therein or at any time executed and/or delivered in
connection therewith or related thereto, including a guarantee provided by the undersigned in favour of Congress dated as of June 1, 2004 (the “Original Guarantee”) (all of the foregoing, including the Original Loan Agreement,
being collectively referred to herein as the “Original Financing Agreements”); 
 WHEREAS Borrowers have requested that
Wachovia (in such capacity, together with any successors and assigns if any, the “Agent”) for and on behalf of itself and as agent for Monroe Capital Management Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (in such capacity
together with any successors and assigns if any, the “Tranche B Agent”) and the lenders from time to time party to the Loan Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (collectively, the “Lenders”) amend and restate the
Original Loan Agreement pursuant to an amended and restated loan agreement dated as of the date hereof (as the same now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, the “Loan
Agreement”) and Borrowers, Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders have also agreed to amend and restate the other Original Financing Agreements, including the Original Guarantee (all of the foregoing, including the Loan Agreement, as the same
now exists or may hereafter be amended, modified, supplemented, extended, renewed, restated or replaced, collectively the “Financing Agreements”); and 
 Due to the close business and financial relationships between Borrowers and each of the undersigned (individually, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”), in consideration
of the benefits which will accrue to each Guarantor and as an inducement for and in consideration of Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders making loans and advances and providing 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 

 
other financial accommodations to Borrowers and their affiliates pursuant to the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements, each Guarantor hereby agrees
to amend and restate the Original Guarantee and to jointly and severally provide this Amended and Restated Guarantee (the “Guarantee”) as follows: 
  

	1.	Guarantee  

  

	 	(a)	Each Guarantor absolutely and unconditionally guarantees and agrees to be liable for the full and indefeasible payment and performance when due of the following (all of which are
collectively referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”): 

  

	 	(i)	all obligations, liabilities and indebtedness of any kind, nature and description of each Borrower to Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders and/or their affiliates, including
principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and expenses, however evidenced, whether as principal, surety, endorser, guarantor or otherwise, whether arising under the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements or otherwise, whether now existing or
hereafter arising, whether arising before, during or after the initial or any renewal term of the Loan Agreement or after the commencement of any case with respect to a Borrower and/or its affiliates under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
similar statute in any jurisdiction (the “Insolvency Legislation”) (including, without limitation, the payment of interest and other amounts, which would accrue and become due but for the commencement of such case, whether or not
such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in any such case and including loans, interest, fees, charges and expenses related thereto and all other obligations of a Borrower and its affiliates or their respective successors to Agent,
Tranche B Agent and Lenders arising after the commencement of such case), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, joint or several, due or not due, primary or secondary, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, and however
acquired by Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders and/or their affiliates; and 

  

	 	(ii)	 all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders in connection with the
preparation, execution, delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation, enforcement and defence of each Borrower's and its affiliates’ obligations, liabilities and indebtedness as aforesaid to Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders,
the rights of Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders in any collateral or under this Guarantee and all other Financing Agreements or in any way involving claims by or against Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders directly or indirectly arising out of or
related to the relationships between Borrowers and their affiliates, any Guarantor or any other Obligor (as hereinafter defined) and Agent, Tranche B Agent and Lenders, whether such expenses are incurred before, during or after the initial or any
renewal term of the Loan Agreement or other Financing 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 2 - 

	 	 
Agreements or after the commencement of any case with respect to Borrowers and/or their affiliates or any Guarantor under the Insolvency Legislation.

  

	 	(b)	This Guarantee is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Each Guarantor agrees that Agent for itself, Tranche B Agent and Lenders need not attempt to collect any Guaranteed
Obligations from Borrowers and/or their affiliates, any other Guarantor or any other Obligor or to realize upon any collateral, but may require any Guarantor to make immediate payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations to Agent for itself, Tranche
B Agent and Lenders when due, whether by maturity, acceleration or otherwise, or at any time thereafter. Agent shall apply any amounts received in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in whole or in part
(including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by Agent, Tranche B Agent or Lenders with respect thereto or otherwise chargeable to Borrowers and their affiliates or Guarantors) and in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

  

	 	(c)	Payment by a Guarantor shall be made to Agent, for itself, Tranche B Agent and Lenders at the office of Agent from time to time, on demand, as Guaranteed Obligations become due.
Each Guarantor shall make all payments to Agent for itself, Tranche B Agent and Lenders on the Guaranteed Obligations free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any set-off, counterclaim, defence, duties, taxes,
levies, imposts, fees, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any kind. One or more successive or concurrent actions may be brought hereon against any Guarantor either in the same action in which a Borrower or its affiliates or any
other Obligor is sued or in separate actions. In the event any claim or action, or action on any judgment, based on this Guarantee is brought against any Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees not to deduct, set-off, or seek any counterclaim for or recoup
any amounts which are or may be owed by Agent to any Guarantor. 

  

	2.	Waivers and Consents 

  

	 	(a)	Notice of acceptance of this Guarantee, the making of loans and advances and providing other financial accommodations to Borrowers and their affiliates and presentment, demand,
protest, notice of protest, notice of non-payment or default and all other notices to which Borrowers and/or their affiliates or any Guarantor is entitled are hereby waived by each Guarantor. Each of the Guarantors also waives notice of and hereby
consents to: 

  

	 	(i)	any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, or restatement of the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements, including, without limitation, extensions of time
of payment of or increase or decrease in the amount of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the interest rate, fees, other charges, or any collateral, and the guarantee made herein shall apply to the Loan Agreement and other Financing Agreements and
the Guaranteed Obligations as so amended, modified, supplemented, renewed, restated or extended, increased or decreased; 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 3 - 

	 	(ii)	the taking, exchange, surrender and releasing of collateral or guarantees now or at any time held by or available to Agent for the obligations of Borrowers and/or their affiliates
or any other party at any time liable on or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or who is the owner of any property which is security for the Guaranteed Obligations (individually, an “Obligor” and collectively, the
“Obligors”); 

  

	 	(iii)	the exercise of, or refraining from the exercise of any rights against a Borrower and/or its affiliates, any Guarantor or any other Obligor or any collateral;

  

	 	(iv)	the settlement, compromise or release of, or the waiver of any default with respect to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor agrees that the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall not be diminished and the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be otherwise impaired or affected by any of the foregoing; and 

  

	 	(v)	any Financing by Agent or Lenders of Borrowers under Section 364 of the United Bankruptcy Code or consent to the use of cash collateral by Agent under Section 363 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code. 

  

	 	(b)	No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall affect, impair or be a defence to this Guarantee, nor shall any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defence available to or legal or equitable discharge of a Borrower or its affiliates in respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any Guarantor in respect of this Guarantee, affect, impair or be
a defence to this Guarantee. Without limitation of the foregoing, the liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired in any respect by reason of any failure by Agent to perfect or continue perfection of any lien or
security interest in any collateral or any delay by Agent in perfecting any such lien or security interest. As to interest, fees and expenses, whether arising before or after the commencement of any case with respect to a Borrower or its affiliates
under any Insolvency Legislation, each Guarantor shall be liable therefor, even if a Borrower’s or its affiliates’ liability for such amounts does not, or ceases to, exist by operation of law. Each Guarantor acknowledges that Agent has not
made any representations to any Guarantor with respect to Borrowers and/or their affiliates, any other Obligor or otherwise in connection with the execution and delivery by each Guarantor of this Guarantee and each Guarantor is not in any respect
relying upon Agent or any statements by Agent in connection with this Guarantee. 

  

	 	(c)	 Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all statutory, contractual, common law, equitable and all other claims against
Borrowers and their affiliates, any collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations or 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 4 - 

	 	 
other assets of Borrowers and their affiliates or any other Obligor, for subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, set-off or
other recourse in respect to sums paid or payable to Agent, for itself and the benefit of Tranche B Agent and the Lenders by each Guarantor hereunder and each Guarantor hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes any and
all other benefits which a Guarantor might otherwise directly or indirectly receive or be entitled to receive by reason of any amounts paid by or collected or due from such Guarantor, Borrowers and/or their or any other Obligor upon the Guaranteed
Obligations or realized from their property. 

  

	 	(d)	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the amount of the obligations payable by each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be the aggregate amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations unless a court of competent jurisdiction adjudicates Guarantor’s obligations to be invalid, avoidable or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating
to fraudulent conveyances or transfers), in which case the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations payable by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that could be guaranteed by each Guarantor without rendering such
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee invalid, avoidable or unenforceable under such applicable law. 

  

	3.	Subordination. Payment of all amounts now or hereafter owed to each Guarantor by a Borrower or its affiliates or any other Obligor is hereby subordinated in right of payment
to the indefeasible payment in full to Agent, for itself, Tranche B Agent and Lenders of the Guaranteed Obligations and all such amounts and any security and guarantees therefor are hereby assigned to Agent as security for the Guaranteed
Obligations. 

  

	4.	Acceleration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any of the terms of any of the other Financing Agreements, the liability of each Guarantor for the
entire Guaranteed Obligations shall mature and become immediately due and payable, even if the liability of a Borrower or any other Obligor therefor does not, upon the occurrence of any act, condition or event which constitutes an Event of Default
(as such term is defined in the Loan Agreement). 

  

	5.	Account Stated. The books and records of Agent showing the account between Agent and Borrowers shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding against or
involving a Guarantor as prima facie proof of the items therein set forth, and the monthly statements of Agent rendered to a Borrower, to the extent to which no written objection is made within thirty (30) days from the date of sending thereof
to such Borrower, shall be deemed conclusively correct and constitute an account stated between Agent and such Borrower and be binding on Guarantors. 

  

	6.	 Termination. This Guarantee is continuing, unlimited, absolute and unconditional. All Guaranteed Obligations shall be conclusively presumed to have been
created in reliance on this Guarantee. A Guarantor shall continue to be liable hereunder until one of Agent’s officers actually receives a written termination notice from such Guarantor sent to Agent at its address set forth above by certified
mail (return receipt requested) and thereafter as 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 5 - 

	 	 
set forth below. Revocation or termination hereof by a Guarantor shall not affect, in any manner, the rights of Agent or any obligations or duties of such
Guarantor under this Guarantee with respect to: 

  

	 	(a)	Guaranteed Obligations which have been created, contracted, assumed or incurred prior to the receipt by Agent of such written notice of revocation or termination as provided herein,
including, without limitation: 

  

	 	(i)	all amendments, extensions, renewals and modifications of such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not evidenced by new or additional agreements, documents or instruments executed on
or after such notice of revocation or termination); 

  

	 	(ii)	all interest, fees and similar charges accruing or due on and after revocation or termination; and 

  

	 	(iii)	all attorneys’ fees and legal expenses, costs and other expenses paid or incurred on or after such notice of revocation or termination in attempting to collect or enforce any
of the Guaranteed Obligations against a Borrower or its affiliates, any Guarantor or any other Obligor (whether or not suit be brought); or 

  

	 	(b)	Guaranteed Obligations which have been created, contracted, assumed or incurred after the receipt by Agent of such written notice of revocation or termination as provided herein
pursuant to any contract entered into by Agent prior to receipt of such notice. The sole effect of such revocation or termination by any Guarantor shall be to exclude from this Guarantee the liability of such Guarantor for those Guaranteed
Obligations arising after the date of receipt by Agent of such written notice which are unrelated to Guaranteed Obligations arising or transactions entered into prior to such date. Without limiting the foregoing, this Guarantee may not be terminated
and shall continue so long as the Loan Agreement shall be in effect (whether during its original term or any renewal, substitution or extension thereof). 

  

	7.	Reinstatement. If after receipt of any payment of, or proceeds of collateral applied to the payment of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations, Agent or Lenders is/are required to
surrender or return such payment or proceeds to any Person for any reason, then the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied by such payment or proceeds shall be reinstated and continue and this Guarantee shall continue in full force and
effect as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by Agent or Lenders. Each Guarantor shall be liable to pay to Agent, and does indemnify and hold Agent harmless for the amount of any payments or proceeds surrendered or returned. This
Section 7 shall remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may be taken by Agent in reliance upon such payment or proceeds. This Section 7 shall survive the termination or revocation of this Guarantee.

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 6 - 

	8.	Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Guarantee nor any provision hereof shall be amended, modified, waived or discharged orally or by course of conduct, but only by a written
agreement signed by an authorized officer of Agent. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have expressly or impliedly waived any of its rights, powers and/or remedies unless such waiver shall be in writing and signed
by an authorized officer of Agent. Any such waiver shall be enforceable only to the extent specifically set forth therein. A waiver by Agent of any right, power and/or remedy on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any
such right, power and/or remedy which Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion, whether similar in kind or otherwise. 

  

	9.	Corporate Existence, Power and Authority. Each Guarantor is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of its state or other jurisdiction of
incorporation and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all states or other jurisdictions where the nature and extent of the business transacted by it or the ownership of assets makes such qualification necessary, except
for those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operation or businesses or the rights of Agent hereunder or under the Loan Agreement and other Financing
Agreements. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guarantee is within the corporate powers of each Guarantor, have been duly authorized and are not in contravention of law or the terms of the certificates of incorporation, by-laws, or
other organizational documentation of each Guarantor, or any indenture, agreement or undertaking to which a Guarantor is a party or by which a Guarantor or its property are bound. This Guarantee constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms. Each Guarantor signing this guarantee shall be bound hereby whether or not any other Guarantor or any other person signs this Guarantee at any time. 

  

	10.	Governing Law; Choice of Forum; Service of Process; Jury Trial Waiver 

  

	 	(a)	The validity, interpretation and enforcement of this Guarantee and any dispute arising out of the relationship between any Guarantor and Agent, whether in contract, tort, equity or
otherwise, shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois but excluding any principles of conflicts of law or other rule of law that would result in the application of the law of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of
Illinois. 

  

	 	(b)	 Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, whichever Agent elects, and waives any objection based on venue or forum non conveniens with respect to any action instituted therein arising under this Guarantee or any of the other
Financing Agreements or in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of any Guarantor and Agent in respect of this Guarantee or any of the other Financing Agreements or the transactions related hereto or thereto, in each case
whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether in contract, tort, equity or otherwise, and agrees that any dispute arising out of the relationship between any 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 7 - 

	 	 
Guarantor, Borrowers or their affiliates or any Obligor and Agent or the conduct of any such persons in connection with this Guarantee, the other Financing
Agreements or otherwise shall be heard only in the courts described above (except that Agent shall have the right to bring any action or proceeding against any Guarantor or its property in the courts of any other jurisdiction which Agent deems
necessary or appropriate in order to realize on any collateral at any time granted by a Borrower or its affiliates or any Guarantor to Agent or to otherwise enforce its rights against any Guarantor or its property). 

  

	 	(c)	Each Guarantor hereby waives personal service of any and all process upon it and consents that all such service of process may be made by certified mail (return receipt requested)
directed to its address set forth on the signature pages hereof and service so made shall be deemed to be completed five (5) days after the same shall have been so deposited in the U.S. mails, or, at Agent’s option, by service upon a
Guarantor in any other manner provided under the rules of any such courts. Within thirty (30) days after such service, applicable Guarantor shall appear in answer to such process, failing which such Guarantor shall be deemed in default and
judgment may be entered by Agent against any Guarantor for the amount of the claim and other relief requested. 

  

	 	(d)	EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (i) ARISING UNDER THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING
AGREEMENTS OR (ii) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF ANY GUARANTOR AND AGENT IN RESPECT OF THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OF THE OTHER FINANCING AGREEMENTS OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE
WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT
ANY GUARANTOR OR AGENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF GUARANTORS AND AGENT TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. 

  

	 	(e)	Neither Agent, Tranche B Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability to any Guarantor (whether in tort, contract, equity or otherwise) for losses suffered by a Guarantor in
connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions or relationships contemplated by this Guarantee, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith, unless it is determined by a final and non-appealable
judgment or court order binding on Agent that the losses were the result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or wilful misconduct. In any such litigation, Agent shall be entitled to the benefit of the rebuttable presumption that it
acted in good faith and with the exercise of ordinary care in the performance by it of the terms of the Financing Agreements. 

  

 US OBLIGORS GUARANTEE 
 - 8 - 

	11.	Judgment Currency. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor in respect of any amount due under this Agreement and other Financing
Agreements to which such Guarantor is a party shall, notwithstanding any payment in any other currency (the “Other Currency”) (whether pursuant to judgment or otherwise), be discharged only to the extent of the amount in the
currency in which it is due (the “Agreed Currency”) that Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase with the sum paid in the Other Currency (after any premium and costs of exchange) on the business day
immediately after the day on which Agent receives the payment, such payment being for itself, Tranche B Agent and Lenders and payable in accordance with the Loan Agreement. If the amount in the Agreed Currency that may be so purchased for any reason
falls short of the amount originally due, each Guarantor shall pay all additional amounts, in the Agreed Currency, as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall. Any obligation of a Guarantor not discharged by that payment shall, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, be due as a separate and independent obligation and, until discharged as provided in this Section, continue in full force and effect. 

  

	12.	Notices. All notices, requests and demands hereunder shall be in writing and: 

  

	 	(a)	made to Agent at its address set forth above and to each Guarantor at its chief executive office set forth below, or to such other address as either party may designate by written
notice to the other in accordance with this provision; and 

  

	 	(b)	deemed to have been given or made: if delivered in person, immediately upon delivery; if by telex, telegram or facsimile transmission, immediately upon sending and upon confirmation
of receipt; if by nationally recognized overnight courier service with instructions to deliver the next business day, one (1) business day after sending; and if by certified mail (return receipt requested) five (5) days after mailing.

  

	13.	Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Guarantee is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate this Guarantee as a
whole, but this Guarantee shall be construed as though it did not contain the particular provision held to be invalid or unenforceable and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced only to such extent as shall be
permitted by applicable law. 

  

	14.	Entire Agreement. This Guarantee represents the entire agreement and understanding of the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all other prior
agreements, understandings, negotiations and discussions, representations, warranties, commitments, proposals, offers and contracts concerning the subject matter hereof, whether oral or written. 

  

	15.	Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and its successors,
endorsees, transferees and assigns. The liquidation, dissolution or termination of a Guarantor shall not terminate this Guarantee as to such entity or as to any other Guarantor.

	16.	Construction. All references to the term “Guarantor(s)” wherever used herein shall mean each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns (including,
