Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation.

The obligations of the Borrower arising pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall survive the discharge of the Secured Obligations.

number and date, (v) registered owner, and (vi) beneficial owner if different from registered owner. Except as otherwise specified on Exhibit D, an Obligor is the sole owner of each item of Intellectual Property listed thereon that has an "Amyris Ref" starting with "AM-", and for each other item of Intellectual Property listed thereon, an Obligor has the right to exploit (or exclude others from exploiting) such item under the terms of a License between such Obligor and the applicable Patent owner or co-owner specified in the "Notes" to the Patent schedule on Exhibit D.

No other Person’s trade secrets and Copyrights, and to the best of each Obligor’s knowledge no other Person’s other intellectual or industrial property rights, are infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated by any of the Obligors’ exploitation of the Intellectual Property or the use, making, development, production, sale, offering for sale, importation or exportation of any Borrower Product. No Obligor has asserted or initiated any Litigation or sent any notice that alleges that any Intellectual Property is being infringed, misappropriated, diluted or otherwise violated.

(c) Trade Secrets. To the best of each Obligor’s knowledge, no trade secret of confidential or proprietary information has been used, divulged, disclosed or appropriated to the detriment of any Obligor for the benefit of any Person other than another Obligor. The Intellectual Property has been protected with adequate safeguards and security to maintain any trade secrets, and the confidentiality of any confidential or proprietary information. Each employee and contractor of each Obligor, or any other Person who has developed Intellectual Property, has entered into written employment agreements, non-disclosure agreements, assignment of inventions agreements or similar agreements or contracts, as applicable, requiring such individuals to safeguard and protect trade secrets and confidential or proprietary information that is Intellectual Property and assign Intellectual Property created or conceived by such individual to the applicable Obligor.

Exhibit D includes a true, correct and complete list of each (i) material License under which an Obligor receives a right in or to Intellectual Property from any other Person, including each License relating to each item of Intellectual Property listed on Exhibit D that is owned or co-owned by any other Person (other than shrink-wrap licenses for non-customized off-the-shelf software costing less than $500,000 per annum) and (ii) License pursuant to which an Obligor grants a right in or to Intellectual Property to any other Person on an exclusive basis. The Licenses on Exhibit D and all other material Licenses are valid and binding and in full force and effect and represents the entire agreement between the respective parties thereto with respect to the subject matter thereof. Each such License will not cease to be valid and binding and in full force and effect on terms identical to those currently in effect as a result of the rights and interest granted herein, nor will the grant of such rights and interest constitute a breach of default under any such License or otherwise give any party thereto a right to terminate such License. No Obligor is in material breach of, nor has any Obligor failed to perform any material obligations under, any such License and, to each Obligor’s knowledge, each other party to any such License is not in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations

thereunder. No Obligor has received any notice of a breach or default under any such License which breach or default has not been cured.

(e) Sufficiency of IP. Except as described on Schedule 5.9(e), each Obligor has, or in the case of any proposed business, will own or have licensed to it, all material intellectual property rights necessary for the operation or conduct of their respective businesses as currently conducted and proposed to be conducted.

Except as described on Schedule 5.9(f), no Intellectual Property owned by an Obligor and no Borrower Product has been or is subject to any actual or, to the knowledge of any Obligor, threatened Litigation, proceeding (including any proceeding in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or any corresponding foreign office or agency) or outstanding decree, order, judgment, settlement agreement or stipulation that restricts in any material respect such Obligor’s use, transfer or licensing thereof or that may affect the validity, use or enforceability thereof. There is no decree, order, judgment, agreement, stipulation, arbitral award or other provision entered into in connection with any Litigation or proceeding that obligates any Obligor to grant licenses or ownership interest in any future Intellectual Property necessary to the operation or conduct of the business of such Obligor or embodied by any Borrower Product. Except as described on Schedule 5.9(f), no Obligor has received any written notice or claim, or, to the knowledge of Obligor, oral notice or claim, challenging or questioning Obligor’s ownership in any Intellectual Property (or written notice of any claim challenging or questioning the ownership in any licensed Intellectual Property of the owner thereof) or suggesting that any third party has any claim of legal or beneficial ownership with respect thereto nor, to any Obligor’s knowledge, is there a reasonable basis for any such claim.

All certificates of insurance will provide for a minimum of 30 days’ advance written notice to the Lender of cancellation or any other change adverse to the Lender’s interests.

No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. This Section 6.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Secured Obligations until all statutes of limitation with respect to the claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

SECTION 7.COVENANTS

As long as any Secured Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are outstanding, the Obligors agree as follows:

7.1 Financial Reports. The Obligors shall furnish to the Lender:

(g) at the Lender’s request, at the same time as it gives to its directors, copies of all materials (other than minutes) that any Obligor provides to its directors in connection with meetings of the Board of Directors and that are relevant to the Lender in its capacity as such; provided, however, that such Obligor shall not be required to provide the materials described in this Section 7.1(g) to the extent the information is privileged or pertains to confidential information of any third parties.

    The Obligors shall not make any change in their (a) accounting policies or reporting practices, except as required by GAAP or (b) fiscal years or fiscal quarters. The fiscal year of the Obligors shall end on December 31. The Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that the materials described in this Section 7.1 will contain material non-public and confidential information of the Obligors and their Affiliates and the Lender and its Affiliates and representatives shall abide by all confidentiality terms applicable under this Agreement and any confidentiality and nondisclosure agreements among the parties hereto.

All Financial Statements required to be delivered pursuant to clause (a)shall be sent via e-mail to provided, that if email is not available or sending such Financial Statements via e-mail is not possible, they shall be mailed to the Lender at 0000 Xxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, #000, Xxx Xxxxxx, XX 00000 (Attention:

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the filing of any financial statements or reports required to be furnished pursuant to this Section 7.1 pursuant to the SEC's “XXXXX” system (or any successor electronic filing system) shall be deemed to constitute "furnishing" such documents to the Lender for purposes of this Section 7.1.

7.2 Management Rights and Inspections. The Obligors shall permit any representative that the Lender authorizes, including such representative’s attorneys and accountants, to meet with any member of management of the Obligors, conduct site visits and inspect the Collateral, provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Obligors shall not be responsible for paying the expenses of the Lender for more than one site visit, inspection, management meeting and examination in any six-month period; provided such cost restriction shall not be deemed a restriction on the number of site visits, inspections, management meetings and examinations the Lender may require. In addition, the Obligors will, upon request by the Lender, have an independent appraiser reasonably satisfactory to the Lender provide an appraisal of the Obligors’ Intellectual Property or such subset thereof as determined by the Lender; provided, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Obligors shall not be responsible for paying the expenses for more than one appraisal in any one-year period; provided, further, that such cost restriction shall not be deemed a restriction on the number of appraisals the Lender may require. In addition, the Obligors shall permit any representative that the Lender authorizes, including such representative’s attorneys and accountants, to examine and make copies and abstracts of the books of account and records of the Obligors or any Subsidiary applicable to the Loan Documents or the Collateral at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during normal business hours. In addition, any such representative shall have the right to meet with management and officers of the Obligors or any Subsidiary to discuss such books of account and records at reasonable times and upon reasonable notice during normal business hours. In addition, the Lender shall be entitled at reasonable times and intervals to consult with and advise the management and officers of the Obligors or any Subsidiary concerning significant business issues affecting the Obligors. Such consultations shall not unreasonably interfere with the Obligors’ business operations. Except as expressly provided herein, any and all visits, inspections, examinations and appraisals made while any Event of Default is continuing, shall be at Obligors’ sole cost and expense. The parties intend that the rights granted to the Lender shall constitute “management rights” within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101(d)(3)(ii), but that any advice, recommendations or participation by the Lender with respect to any business issues shall not be deemed to give the Lender, nor be deemed an exercise by the Lender of, control over Xxxxxxx’s management or policies.

7.3 Further Assurances. The Obligors shall from time to time execute, deliver and file, alone or with the Lender, any financing statements, security agreements, collateral assignments, notices, control agreements, or other documents to perfect or give the highest priority to the Lender’s Lien on the Collateral (other than the Liens set forth in clauses (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii) or (xiv) (and clause (xviii) with respect to such clauses) of the definition of Permitted Liens).

The Obligors shall protect and defend such Xxxxxxx’s title to the Collateral and the Lender’s Lien thereon against all Persons claiming any interest adverse to any Obligor or the Lender other than Permitted Liens.

Obligor or its Subsidiaries than exist with respect to such Indebtedness prior to such amendment or modification without the prior written consent of the Lender, and (ii) the DSM Loan Agreement and any documents entered into in connection with the DSM Loan Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lender.

Xxxxxx’s foregoing appointment as each Obligor’s attorney in fact, and all of Xxxxxx’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until such time as all Secured Obligations have been satisfied in full, Lender is under no further obligation to make Advances and the Loan Documents have been terminated. Lender shall not incur any liability in connection with or arising from the exercise of such power of attorney and shall have no obligation to exercise any of the foregoing rights and remedies.

10.19 Electronic signatures The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

The Lender will make reasonable efforts to provide the Obligors with notice of the Lender obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by the Lender are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or the Lender’s waiver of any Event of Default.

10.21 Set off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to any Obligor, any such notice being expressly waived by the Obligors, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits, in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or the account of any Obligor against any and all of the obligations of the Obligors now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents to the Lender that are then due and payable, irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand under any Loan Document and although such obligations of the Obligors may be contingent or unmatured. The rights of the Lender under this Section 10.22 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lender may have.

10.22 Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of an Obligor is made to the Lender, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

10.23 Additional Waivers.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Secured Obligations of each Obligor shall not be affected by (i) the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Obligor under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Lender.

(b) The Secured Obligations of each Obligor shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Secured Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Secured Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Secured Obligations of each Obligor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under any Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Secured Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Obligor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Obligor as a matter of law or equity.

(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Obligor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Obligor or the unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Obligor. The Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Secured Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Obligor, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Obligor, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Obligor hereunder. Each Obligor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Obligor against any other Obligor, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 11.GUARANTY; WAIVERS.

11.1 Guaranty. In recognition of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by the Subsidiary Guarantors from the proceeds of the Advances and by virtue of the financial accommodations to be made to the Borrower, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (this “Guaranty”) as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, of all of the Secured Obligations plus any interest accruing on any unpaid amounts owing by such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder (such interest to accrue at the rate set forth in Section 2.2(d)) from the date a demand is made for payment thereunder, plus any and all fees, costs and expenses in protecting or enforcing its rights and remedies with respect to the Guaranty, including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and fees, costs and expenses of litigation (the “Guarantied Obligations”). If any or all of the Secured Obligations constituting Guarantied Obligations becomes due and payable, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, unconditionally and irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Lender that may be incurred by the Lender in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any of the Guarantied Obligations (including the enforcement of any collateral for such Guarantied Obligations or any collateral for the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty). If claim is ever made upon the Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment of or on account of any or all of the Guarantied Obligations and the Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree, or order of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property, or (ii) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor), then and in each such event, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon the Subsidiary Guarantors, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of any Obligor, and the Subsidiary Guarantors shall be and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.

11.2 Additionally, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guarantied Obligations to the Lender, whether or not due or payable by any other Obligor upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 8.4, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Lender, without the requirement of demand, protest, or any other notice or other formality, in lawful money of the United States.

11.3 The liability of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder is primary, absolute, and unconditional, and is independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guarantied Obligations, whether executed by any other Subsidiary Guarantor or by any other Person, and the liability of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (i) any payment on, or in reduction of, any such other guaranty or undertaking, (ii) any dissolution, termination, or increase, decrease, or change in personnel by any Obligor, (iii) any payment made to the Lender on account of the Secured Obligations which the Lender repays to any Obligor pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding (or any settlement or compromise of any claim made in such a proceeding relating to such payment), and each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding, or (iv) any action or inaction by the Lender, or (v) any invalidity, irregularity, avoidability, or unenforceability of all or any part of the Secured Obligations or of any security therefor.

11.4 This Guaranty includes all present and future Guarantied Obligations including any under transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guarantied Obligations. If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (i) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Lender, (ii) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by the Lender of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (iii) no such revocation

shall apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any member of the Lender in existence on the date of such revocation, (iv) no payment by any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Borrower, or from any other source, before the date of the Lender's receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder, and (v) any payment by the Borrower or from any source other than such Subsidiary Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor, its successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and its successors, transferees, or assigns.

11.5 The guaranty by each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The obligations of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor or Obligor or any other Person and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors whether or not action is brought against any other Subsidiary Guarantor or Obligor or any other Person and whether or not any other Subsidiary Guarantor or Obligor or any other Person be joined in any such action or actions. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Any payment by any Obligor or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to any Obligor shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as to each of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

11.6 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors authorizes the Lender without notice or demand, and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:

(a) change the manner, place, or terms of payment of, or change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate, or alter: (A) any of the Secured Obligations (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest or fees thereon); or (B) any security therefor or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, and this Guaranty shall apply to the Secured Obligations as so changed, extended, renewed, or altered;

(b) take and hold security for the payment of the Secured Obligations and sell, exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon, collect, settle, or otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure the Secured Obligations or any of the Guarantied Obligations (including any of the obligations of all or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, or any offset on account thereof;

(c) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against any Obligor;

(d) release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, any Obligor, or other obligors;

(e) settle or compromise any of the Secured Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability (including any of those of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Guaranty) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and may subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any Obligor to its creditors;

(f) apply any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any liability or liabilities of any Obligor to the Lender regardless of what liability or liabilities of such Obligor remain unpaid;

(g) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission, or default under, any Loan Document or any of the instruments or agreements referred to herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify, or supplement any other Loan Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; or

(h) take any other action that could, under otherwise applicable principles of law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of one or more of the Subsidiary Guarantors from all or part of its liabilities under this Guaranty.

11.7 It is not necessary for the Lender to inquire into the capacity or powers of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors or the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Secured Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guarantied hereunder.

11.8 Each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation, or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Lender with respect thereto. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty are independent of the Guarantied Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any other Subsidiary Guarantor or whether any other Subsidiary Guarantor is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defense it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner, or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guarantied Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guarantied Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit;

(c) any taking, exchange, release, or non-perfection of any Lien in and to any Collateral, or any taking, release, amendment, waiver of, or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(d) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense, or other right that any Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against any Person, including the Lender;

(e) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor;

(f) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any member of the Lender including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Subsidiary Guarantor's rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Subsidiary Guarantor against any other Obligor or any guarantors or sureties;

(g) any change, restructuring, or termination of the corporate, limited liability company, or partnership structure or existence of any Obligor; or

(h) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Obligor or any other guarantor or surety (other than a defense of payment in full or performance in full of the Guarantied Obligations).

11.9 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived) to require the Lender to (i) proceed against any other Obligor or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Obligor or any other Person, or (iii) protect, secure, perfect, or insure any security interest or Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against any other Obligor, any other Person, or any collateral, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the Lender 's power whatsoever. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Obligor or any other Person,

other than payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of any Obligor or any other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of the Secured Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Obligor other than payment of the Secured Obligations to the extent of such payment. The Lender may foreclose upon any Collateral held by the Lender by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales or other dispositions, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable or otherwise fails to comply with applicable law or may exercise any other right or remedy the Lender may have against any Obligor or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder except to the extent the Guarantied Obligations have been paid.

11.10 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional Secured Obligations or other financial accommodations, in each case, except with respect to any notices expressly required pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document . Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors waives notice of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of each Obligor's financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Secured Obligations and the nature, scope, and extent of the risks which each of the Subsidiary Guarantors assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lender shall not have any duty to advise any of the Subsidiary Guarantors of information known to them regarding such circumstances or risks.

11.11 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives: (A) any right to assert against the Lender, any defense (legal or equitable) (other than a defense of payment in full or performance in full of the Guarantied Obligations), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which each Subsidiary Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other party liable to the Lender; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Lender including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of such Subsidiary Guarantor's rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the Borrower or other guarantors or sureties; and (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantor's liability hereunder.

11.12 No Subsidiary Guarantor will exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any Obligor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against any Obligor or any other guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from any Obligor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and all of the Lender’s commitments under the Loan Documents have been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender, and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Guarantied Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or to be held as Collateral for any Guarantied Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty, no Subsidiary Guarantor may exercise any rights of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or other similar rights against, and may not proceed or seek recourse against or with respect to any property or asset of, any other Obligor (the "Foreclosed Obligor"),

including after payment in full of the Secured Obligations, if all or any portion of the Secured Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Capital Stock of such Foreclosed Obligor whether pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.

11.13 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guarantied Obligations are secured by estates or interests in real property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Obligor or any Subsidiary of any Obligor and the improvements thereto (“Real Property”) located in California, Subsidiary Guarantors shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding the foreclosure on such Real Property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Subsidiary Guarantor's right to proceed against any Obligor.

11.14 In accordance with Section 2856 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby (except with respect California Civil Code Section 2848, as set forth below) waives (subject to reinstatement after the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full) until such time as the Guarantied Obligations have been paid in full:

(a) all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, and contribution and any other rights and defenses that are or may become available to the Subsidiary Guarantors by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855 (other than 2848), inclusive, 2899, and 3433 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(b) all rights and defenses that the Subsidiary Guarantors may have because the Guarantied Obligations are secured by Real Property located in California, meaning, among other things, that: (A) the Lender may collect from the Subsidiary Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other Obligor, and (B) if the Lender, forecloses on any Real Property collateral pledged by Borrower or any other Obligor, (1) the amount of the Guarantied Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Lender may collect from the Subsidiary Guarantors even if, by foreclosing on the Real Property collateral, the Lender have destroyed or impaired any right the Subsidiary Guarantors may have to collect from any other Obligor, it being understood that this is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Subsidiary Guarantors may have because the Guarantied Obligations are secured by Real Property (including, without limitation, any rights or defenses based upon Sections 580a, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction); and

(c) all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for the Guarantied Obligations, has destroyed Subsidiary Guarantors' rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Obligor by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or any similar laws of any other applicable jurisdiction or otherwise.

11.15 Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to postpone its rights under California Civil Code Section 2848 until the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and unasserted expense reimbursement obligations).

11.16 Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors represents, warrants, and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.

11.17 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11, the amount guaranteed by each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum amount as would not, after giving effect to such maximum amount, render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or comparable law. In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the

parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Subsidiary Guarantor may have under this Section 11, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. Subject to the restrictions, limitations and other terms of this Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment

11.18 All payments on account of all Indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of any Obligor to any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined (the “Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness”) shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in Cash or Cash Equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of any Obligor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, directly or indirectly, or assets of any Obligor or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness (“Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments”), except that, so long as an Event of Default does not then exist, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive payments on its Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness, in accordance with past business practices of such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Borrower (or any other applicable Subsidiary Guarantor) and not in contravention of any law or the terms of the Loan Documents.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 11, such Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall be paid over or delivered to the Lender for application to the payment in full in Cash or Cash Equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 11 after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to the Lender in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

11.19 This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and agreement of subordination and shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, including Guaranteed Obligations which may exist continuously or which may arise from time to time under successive transactions, and each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly acknowledges that this guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding that there may be periods in which no Guaranteed Obligations exist. This Guaranty shall continue in effect and be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor until actual receipt by the Lender of written notice from such Subsidiary Guarantor of its intention to discontinue this Guaranty as to future transactions (which notice shall not be effective until noon on the day that is five Business Days following such receipt); provided, that no revocation or termination of this guaranty shall affect in any way any rights of the Lender hereunder with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or outstanding on the date of receipt of such notice, including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the terms or conditions thereof, or any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of the Lender in existence as of the date of such revocation (collectively, “Existing Guaranteed Obligations”), and the sole effect of such notice shall be to exclude from this Guaranty Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising which are unconnected to any Existing Guaranteed Obligations

11.20 This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated and revived, as the case may be, if, for any reason, any payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of the Obligors (or receipt of any proceeds of collateral) shall be rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, voided or otherwise required to be repaid to any Obligor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other Person (including under any Bankruptcy Law), or must otherwise be restored by the Lender, whether as a result of proceedings under any bankruptcy law or otherwise. All losses, damages, costs and

expenses that the Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of the Lender contained in Section 6.3.

11.21 The Advances provided to or for the benefit of the Obligors hereunder by the Lender has been and is to be contemporaneously used for the benefit of the Obligors and each Subsidiary Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries. It is the position, intent and expectation of the parties that the Obligors and each Subsidiary Guarantor have derived and will derive significant and substantial benefits from the Advances to be made available by the Lender under the Loan Documents. Each Subsidiary Guarantor has received at least “reasonably equivalent value” (as such phrase is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and in comparable provisions of other applicable Laws) and more than sufficient consideration to support its obligations hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations. Immediately prior to and after and giving effect to the incurrence of each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be Solvent and will not be subject to any Insolvency Proceedings.

11.22 KNOWING AND EXPLICIT WAIVERS. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT EITHER HAS OBTAINED THE ADVICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL OR HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN SUCH ADVICE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11. EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT EACH OF THE WAIVERS AND CONSENTS SET FORTH HEREIN IS MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF ITS SIGNIFICANCE AND CONSEQUENCES, THAT ALL SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS HEREIN ARE EXPLICIT AND KNOWING AND THAT EACH SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR EXPECTS SUCH WAIVERS AND CONSENTS TO BE FULLY ENFORCEABLE.

11.23 If, while any Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness is outstanding, any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law is commenced by or against any Obligor or its property, the Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of such Obligor or in the name of any Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution in respect of all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness and give acquittances therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including voting the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of Lender; and each Subsidiary Guarantor shall promptly take such action as Lender may reasonably request: (A) to collect the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness for the account of such Obligor and any Subsidiary Guarantor and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; (B) to execute and deliver to the Lender such powers of attorney, assignments and other instruments as it may request to enable it to enforce any and all claims with respect to the Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness; and (C) to collect and receive any and all Subsidiary Guarantor Subordinated Indebtedness Payments.

11.24 Any payment on account of an amount that is payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document must be made in United States Dollars.
