NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of these premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees, as a co-obligor and not merely as surety, to the Holders, the prompt payment of all Obligation as defined in the Security Agreement (including without limitation principal, premium if any, and interest (including all interest that accrues after the commencement of any proceeding under Applicable Insolvency Laws of the Company or any Guarantor (the Company and each Guarantor collectively referred to herein as the “Note Parties” and each individually, a “Note Party”) at the rate provided in the respective Transaction Document (as such term is defined in the applicable Securities Purchase Agreement), whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed in such proceeding under Applicable Insolvency Laws) on the Notes, and all obligations which, but for the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. Section 362 (or similar successor statute), would become due), whenever arising, in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise in accordance with any Transaction Document) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (hereinafter, collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor hereby further agrees that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise in accordance with any Transaction Document), such Guarantor will promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise in accordance with any Transaction Document) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
2. Joint and Several Liability.
(a) Each of the Guarantors is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Holders under the Transaction Documents, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Note Parties and other Guarantors (if any) and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Guarantors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of the Note Parties.
(b) Each of the Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-obligor, joint and several liability with the other Guarantors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Guaranteed Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors without preferences or distinction among them.
(c) If and to the extent that any of the Note Parties or Guarantors shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Guarantors will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Guaranteed Obligation.
3. Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of each of the Guarantors under Section 1 hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guaranty of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and termination of the Purchase Agreements in accordance with their terms, it being the intent of this Section 3 that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against any Note Party for amounts paid under this Guaranty until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnification obligations to the extent no claim giving rise thereto has been asserted) and the Purchase Agreements have terminated in accordance with its terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;
(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Purchase Agreements, the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Purchase Agreements or the Transaction Documents shall be done or omitted;
(c) the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Purchase Agreements, the Transaction Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Purchase Agreements or the Transaction Documents shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with, in each case, in accordance with the Transaction Documents; or
(d) any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

4. Reinstatement. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Holder on demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel) incurred by any Holder in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
5. Certain Additional Waivers. With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any requirement that any Holder exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Purchase Agreements, the Transaction Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Purchase Agreements or the Transaction Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
6. Remedies. Each Guarantor agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, as between such Guarantor and the Holders, the Guaranteed Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable for purposes of Section 1 hereof notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of said Section 1.
7. [Reserved].
8. Representations.

(d) Each Guarantor further represents and warrants that it has knowledge of the other Note Parties’ financial condition and affairs and represents and agrees that it will keep so informed while this Guaranty is in force.
