(a) Subject to the limitations in Section 2.1(d), in recognition of the direct and indirect benefits to be received by each Limited Guarantor in connection with the financial accommodations provided by Agent and Purchasers to Company, each Limited Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration, or otherwise, of each and all of the following (collectively, the “Guarantied Obligations”): (i) the Liabilities now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest (including any interest that accrues after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding), fees, expenses (including any fees or expenses that accrue after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in whole or in part as a claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding), or otherwise, (ii) any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by Agent and/or the Purchasers in enforcing any rights under any Transaction Document and (iii) the amount of any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses incurred by the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of or relating to any matter that would have been the subject of liability insurance if the Company and its Subsidiaries had been covered by a customary liability insurance policy (other than matters that occur during any period when the Company and its Subsidiaries are covered by a customary liability insurance policy). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantied Obligations shall include all amounts that constitute part of the Guarantied Obligations and would be owed by any Obligor to the Agent or any Purchaser but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable, including due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, other Insolvency Proceeding or similar proceeding involving any Obligor or any other Person.
(b) If any or all of the Guarantied Obligations becomes due and payable, each Limited Guarantor, unconditionally and irrevocably, and without the need for demand, protest, or any other notice or formality, promises to pay such indebtedness to Agent or any Purchaser, together with any and all expenses that may be incurred by Agent or any Purchaser in demanding, enforcing, or collecting any Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made upon Agent or any Purchaser 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 Agent or any Purchaser 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 any Obligor), then and in each such event, each Limited Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement, or compromise shall be binding upon such Limited Guarantor, notwithstanding any revocation (or purported revocation) of this Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of such Limited Guarantor and such Limited Guarantor shall be and remain liable to such 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.
(c) Each Limited Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the payment of any and all of the Guarantied Obligations to Agent and each Purchaser, whether or not due or payable by any Obligor upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section 6(a)(viii) of the Notes, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to Agent, without the requirement of demand, protest, or any other notice or other formality, in lawful money of the United States.

The provisions of this Section 2.1(d) shall not (i) impair the validity of the Liabilities, or (ii) affect or impair the security interest granted under the Limited Guarantor Pledge Agreement or the right of the Agent or any Purchaser to enforce the security interest granted under the Limited Guarantor Pledge Agreement against any Limited Guarantor or any other security interest granted to Agent under any Transaction Document against the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

Each Limited Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of 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 other Person, or the validity, legality, or unenforceability of any Guarantied Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of such Limited Guarantor other than payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the extent of such payment. Agent may foreclose upon any Collateral held by Agent 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 Agent or any Purchaser may have against any Limited Guarantor or any other Person, or any security, in each case, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Limited Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guarantied Obligations have been paid.
(b) Each Limited Guarantor 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 Guarantied Obligations or other financial accommodations. Each Limited Guarantor waives notice of any Event of Default under any Transaction Document. Each Limited Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping himself informed of each Obligor’s financial condition and assets and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope, and extent of the risks which such Limited Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither Agent nor any Purchaser shall not have any duty to advise any Limited Guarantor of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

Any payment or other act or circumstance which shall defer or delay, or otherwise toll, the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to any Guarantied Obligations or as to any Limited Guarantor shall similarly operate to defer or delay, or otherwise toll, the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Limited Guarantor’s liability hereunder.
3.2. Waivers of Defenses. Each Limited Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Transaction 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 Agent or any Purchaser with respect thereto.

(g) any change, restructuring, or termination of the corporate, limited liability company, or partnership structure or existence of any other Person; or
(h) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any other Person.
| 3.3. | Consents to Amendments, Etc. |

(b) It is not necessary for Agent or any Purchaser to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Limited Guarantor, and any Guarantied Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guarantied hereunder.
3.4. Subrogation; Subordination. No Limited Guarantor will exercise any rights that he may now or hereafter acquire against any Obligor or any other Person that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Limited 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 Agent or any Purchaser against any Obligor or any other Person 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 Person, 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 payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations. If any amount shall be paid to any Limited Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of Agent and the Purchasers, and shall promptly be paid to Agent 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 the Purchase 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 Limited 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 Person, including after payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations, if all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in connection with an exercise of remedies in respect of the Equity Interests of such other Person whether pursuant to this Guaranty or otherwise.
3.5. Revocation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each Limited 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 Limited Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that no such revocation shall (a) be effective until written notice thereof has been received by Agent, (b) apply to any Guarantied Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by Agent 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), and (c) apply to any Guarantied Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent or any Purchaser in existence on the date of such revocation. No payment by any Limited Guarantor or from any other source prior to the date of Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of any Limited Guarantor hereunder, and any payment by any Limited Guarantor or from any source other than such Limited 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 Limited Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Limited Guarantor, his heirs, representatives, successors and assigns and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by Agent and its successors, transferees, or assigns.
