Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Lender under any Loan Document but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving the Borrower. In no event shall the obligation of any Guarantor hereunder exceed the maximum amount such Guarantor could guarantee under any Debtor Relief Law.

Section 8.02.Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Guaranteed 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. Each Guarantor agrees that this Article ‎VIII constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection and waives any right to require that any resort be made by the Lender to any Collateral. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Article ‎VIII are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Loan Party or whether any Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Article ‎VIII shall be, until the Termination Date, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses 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 Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or otherwise;

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

(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence of any Loan Party; or

(f)any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety (other than the cash payment in full of the Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations)).

This Article ‎VIII shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by The Lender or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 8.03.Waiver. Each Guarantor hereby waives (i) promptness and diligence, (ii) notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Article ‎VIII and any requirement that the Lender exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral, (iii) any right to compel or direct the Lender to seek payment or recovery of any amounts owed under this Article ‎VIII from any one particular fund or source or to exhaust any right or take any action against any other Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (iv) any requirement that the Lender 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 Loan Party, any other Person or any Collateral, (v) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantor may have at any time against the Lender or the Borrower, and (vi) any other defense available to any Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Lender shall have no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Guarantor or against, or in payment of, any or all of the Obligations. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein and that the waiver set forth in this ‎Section 8.03 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Article ‎VIII, and acknowledges that this Article ‎VIII is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

Section 8.04.Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Article ‎VIII is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the later of the cash payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Contingent Indemnity Obligations) and all other amounts payable under this Article ‎VIII and the Termination Date, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its

Section 9.10.Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter during the continuance thereof:

(a)the Lender may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC or any other applicable Requirements of Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party expressly agrees that, in any such event, the Lender without demand of performance or other demand, advertisement or notice of any kind (except a notice specified below of time and place of public or private sale) to or upon such Loan Party or any other Person (all and each of which demands, advertisements and notices are hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable Requirements of Law), may take immediate possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and (i) each Loan Party hereby agrees that it will at its own expense and upon written request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender, and (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Lender’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable.

The Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notification of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. Each Loan Party agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the UCC and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten (10) days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the UCC. Each Loan Party agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and such Loan Party is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the UCC;

(b)the Lender may, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it under applicable Requirements of Law, and without the requirement of notice to or upon the Loan Parties or any other Person except as otherwise required by the UCC or any other applicable Requirements of Law (which notice is hereby expressly waived to the maximum extent permitted by the UCC or any other applicable Requirements of Law), (x) with respect to any deposit accounts in which the security interest of the Lender hereunder are perfected by control under Section 9-104 of the UCC, instruct the bank maintaining such deposit account for such Loan Party to pay the balance of such deposit account to or for the benefit of the Lender, and (y) with respect to any securities accounts or commodity accounts in which the security interest of

the Lender hereunder are perfected by control under Section 9-106 of the UCC, instruct the securities intermediary or commodities intermediary, as the case may be, maintaining such securities account or commodity account for such Loan Party to (A) transfer any cash in such securities account or commodity account to or for the benefit of the Lender, or (B) liquidate any financial assets in such securities account or commodity account that are customarily sold on a recognized market and transfer the cash proceeds thereof to or for the benefit of the Lender; and

(c)solely for the purpose of enabling the Lender to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement and at such time as the Lender shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies and solely upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, each Loan Party hereby grants to the Lender, to the extent it has the right to do so, an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to such Loan Party), subject, in the case of Trademarks, to sufficient rights to quality control and inspection in favor of the Loan Party to avoid the risk of invalidation of said Trademarks, to use, manufacture, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, operate under, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by such Loan Party, and wherever the same may be located.

(a)Each Guarantor agrees promptly to deliver or cause to be delivered to the Lender, for the benefit of the Lender as secured party, any and all (i) Equity Interests in Subsidiaries of such Guarantor that constitute certificated securities or (ii) in the case of promissory notes or other instruments evidencing Indebtedness, are required to be delivered pursuant to paragraph (b) of this ‎Section 9.11.

(b)To the extent any Indebtedness for borrowed money constituting Collateral (other than (i) intercompany current liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business in connection with the cash management operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and (ii) to the extent that a pledge of such promissory note or instrument would violate applicable law) owed to any Guarantor is evidenced by a promissory note in an amount in excess of $250,000, such Guarantor shall promptly cause such promissory note to be pledged and delivered to the Lender, for the benefit of the Lender as secured party, pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent any such promissory note is a demand note, each Guarantor party thereto agrees, if requested by the Lender, to immediately demand payment thereunder upon an Event of Default specified under ‎Section 7.01(a), (f), (g) or (l) of the Agreement, unless such demand would not be commercially reasonable or would otherwise expose such Guarantor to liability to the maker.

(c)Upon delivery to the Lender, (i) any Collateral required to be delivered pursuant to the foregoing paragraphs (a) and (b) of this ‎Section 9.11 shall be accompanied by stock powers or note powers, as applicable, duly executed in blank or other instruments of transfer reasonably satisfactory to the Lender, and by such other instruments and documents as the Lender may reasonably request and (ii) all other property comprising part of such Collateral delivered pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be accompanied to the extent necessary to perfect the security interest in or allow realization on such Collateral by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the applicable Guarantor and such other instruments or documents (including issuer acknowledgments in respect of uncertificated securities) as the Lender may reasonably request. Each delivery of Collateral shall be accompanied by a schedule describing the securities, which

schedule shall be attached hereto as Schedule ‎9.11 (or a supplement to Schedule ‎9.11, as applicable) and made a part hereof; provided that failure to attach any such schedule hereto shall not affect the validity of such pledge of such Collateral. Each schedule so delivered shall supplement any prior schedules so delivered.

Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges that (i) any Loan Document evidencing a Lien on the Collateral or securing the Loans and other Obligations under this Agreement with or in favor of the Lender in connection with any and all Indebtedness owing to the Lender securing such Indebtedness also secures the Loans and other Obligations under this Agreement and (ii) any requirements of a Loan Party with respect to any Collateral when delivered to, deposited with, assigned to, or otherwise afforded control over to the Lender shall be so complied with in respect of all Indebtedness owing to the Lender including the Loans and other Obligations under this Agreement.

(c)No Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, any claim against the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or seek any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(d)The indemnities and waivers set forth in this ‎Section 11.15 shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and discharge of any Liens granted under the Loan Documents.

Section 11.16.Records. The unpaid principal of and interest on the Loan, the interest rate or rates applicable to such unpaid principal and interest, the duration of such applicability, and the accrued and unpaid fees payable pursuant to this Agreement, shall at all times be ascertained from the records of the Lender, which shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

Section 11.17.Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Loan Party, the Lender and when the conditions precedent set forth in ‎Section 4.01 hereof have been satisfied or waived in writing by the Lender, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Loan Party, the Lender, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties shall not have the right to assign their rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender, and any assignment by the Lender shall be governed by ‎Section 11.07 hereof.
