WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make extensions of credit to the Borrowers upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Parent are members of an affiliated group of companies that includes each other Guarantor;
WHEREAS, the proceeds of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement will be used in part to enable the Borrowers to make valuable transfers to one or more of the other Guarantors in connection with the operation of their respective businesses;
WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the other Guarantors are engaged in related businesses, and each Guarantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the making of the extensions of credit under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the obligation of the Lenders to make their respective extensions of credit to the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantors shall have executed and delivered this Agreement to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders to make and maintain their respective extensions of credit to the Borrowers thereunder, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as follows:

(b) The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
SECTION 2. GUARANTEE
2.1 Guarantee.
(a) Each of the Guarantors hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, permitted transferees and permitted assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, together with all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, recording, administration, collection, liquidation, enforcement and defense of the Obligations, liabilities and indebtedness as aforesaid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in any collateral or under this Agreement and all other Loan Documents or in any way involving claims by or against the Administrative Agent or the Lenders directly or indirectly arising out of or related to the relationships among Borrowers, Guarantors or any other Loan Party, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, whether such expenses are incurred before, during or after the initial or any renewal term of the Creditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents or after the commencement of any case with respect to any Borrower or any Guarantor under any Debtor Relief Law.
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.2).
(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not yet due and payable) shall have been satisfied by payment in full in cash and the Commitments shall be terminated.
(e) No payment made by any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from any of the Borrowers, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guarantor Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guarantor Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guarantor Obligations), remain liable for the Guarantor
Obligations until the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated.
(f) Any of the Indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter owing to any Borrower or any Guarantor is hereby subordinated and junior in right of payment to the Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, and if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such Indebtedness of such Loan Party either, at the Administrative Agent’s option, shall not be paid, or shall be collected, enforced and received for the benefit of the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, but without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of any Borrower or any Guarantor under the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
2.2 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.3. The provisions of this Section 2.2 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder until the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated.
2.3 No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the payment of the Guarantor Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders by any Borrower on account of the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full in cash and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable) shall not have been paid in full in cash, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in the order specified in the Credit Agreement.
2.4 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such other Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection with any of the foregoing may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) or other applicable Lenders may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.
2.5 Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, as applicable, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between any Borrower and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations or the Guarantor Obligations, as applicable. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment, performance or release) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon
any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of such Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any such Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes of this Section 2.5 only, “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
2.6 Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guarantor Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. This Section 2.6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and repayment and satisfaction of the Guarantor Obligations.
2.7 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim (other than for a defense of payment, performance or release) in Dollars at the Administrative Agent’s Office.
SECTION 3. [RESERVED]
SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In addition to, and not in limitation of, any such rights and remedies, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or any of the other Loan Documents, the liability of Guarantors for the entire Guarantor Obligations shall mature and become immediately due and payable, even if the liability of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefor does not, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default.
SECTION 7. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
7.1 Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Until the Guarantor Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations not then due and payable) are paid in full in cash, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Guarantor and in the name of such Guarantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments, in each case, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement. Anything in this Section 7.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 7.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(b) If any Guarantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, upon notice to the applicable Guarantor.
(c) The expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 7.1, together with interest thereon at the rate per annum specified under the Credit Agreement, shall be payable by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent promptly on demand.
(d) Each Guarantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.
7.2 Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority.
SECTION 8. MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.
8.2 Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon either Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at their respective notice addresses set forth on Schedule 1.
8.3 No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 8.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy, which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by Law.
8.4 Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, to each other Lender.
(b) Subject to Section 3.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement to the extent the Borrowers would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement.
(d) The agreements in this Section 8.4 shall survive repayment of the Guarantor Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
8.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders and their successors and permitted assigns in accordance with the Credit Agreement; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Parent and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice to the Parent shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

8.8 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement, which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

FORM OF SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE
This Solvency Certificate is furnished pursuant to 4.01(a)(VI) of the Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), among Advanced Forming Technology, Inc., a Colorado corporation (“AFT”), Arc Wireless, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Wireless”), Flomet LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Flomet”), General Flange & Forge LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“General Flange”), Tekna Seal LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Tekna Seal”), 3D Material Technologies, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“3D Material”), Quadrant Metals Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Quadrant” and together with AFT, Wireless, Flomet, General Flange Tekna Seal and 3D Material, each a “Borrower” and, collectively the “Borrowers”), ARC Group Worldwide, Inc., a Utah corporation (the “Parent”), each Lender from time to time party thereto, XxXxxxx Capital Partners SBIC, L.P., as Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto. Each capitalized term used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement.
The undersigned, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Chief Financial Officer of the Parent, hereby certifies that he is duly authorized to execute this certificate on behalf of the Parent and its Subsidiaries and hereby further certifies, in his/her officer capacity and not in his/her individual capacity, that:
1. As of the date hereof both before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated under the Credit Agreement and pursuant to the Subordinated Note Documents:
(a) the fair salable value of the assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on a going concern basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities) of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis;
(b) the fair salable value of the assets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, on a going concern basis, is not less than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities) of the Parent and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as they become absolute and matured;
(c) the Parent and its Subsidiaries are not engaged in a business or a transaction, and are not about to be engaged in a business or a transaction, for which their properties on a consolidated basis would constitute an unreasonably small capital; and
(d) the Parent and its Subsidiaries do not intend to, and do not believe that they will, incur debts or liabilities on a consolidated basis (including contingent, subordinated, unmatured and unliquidated liabilities) beyond their ability on a consolidated basis to pay such debts and liabilities as such debts and liabilities mature in the ordinary course of business.
For purposes of the foregoing, the amount of contingent liabilities are to be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at that point in time, can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
2. The undersigned has reviewed any and all solvency opinions delivered by any third-parties to the Loan Parties (or any of them) in connection with the transactions contemplated under the Credit Agreement and pursuant to the Subordinated Note Documents.
3. As used herein, (a) the term “fair salable value” means the amount at which the applicable assets would change hands between a willing buyer and a willing seller within a reasonable time, each having reasonable knowledge of the relevant facts, neither being under any compulsion to act and (b) the amount of contingent liabilities (such as litigation, guaranties and pension plan liabilities) at any time shall be computed as the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at the time, represents the amount that can be reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.
The undersigned Parent acknowledges that (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled to rely and have, in fact, relied upon the information contained herein and (b) any successor or assign of the Administrative Agent and any Lender is entitled to rely upon the information contained herein.
