2. Guaranty. The Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantee, as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities (including without limitation the Obligations) of every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Obligors to the Secured Parties, whether associated with any credit or other financial accommodation made to or for the benefit of the Obligors by the Secured Parties or otherwise and whenever created, arising, evidenced or acquired (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all reasonable and documented, out of pocket third-party fees costs and expenses, including attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof), in each case, under and pursuant to the Loan Documents, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness and liabilities may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced by or against the Guarantor or any other Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, Debtor Relief Laws), and including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any Obligor of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws (collectively, the Guaranteed Obligations).

The Guarantors shall make all payments hereunder in accordance with Section 5.7 of the Loan Agreement which provisions shall be herein incorporated by reference mutatis mutandis. The obligations of each Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
4. Rights of Lender. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that the Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lenders in their sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantors under this Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of one or more of the Guarantors.
5. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lender) of the liability of any Obligor; (b) any defense based on any claim that a Guarantors obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Obligors; (c) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting any Guarantors liability hereunder; (d) any right to require a Secured Party to proceed against one or more of the Borrowers or other Obligors, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in any Secured Partys power whatsoever; (e) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Secured Parties; and (f) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.

If any amounts are paid to a Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
9. Subordination. Without in any way limiting the obligations of the Obligors under the Loan Documents, each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Obligors (other than another Guarantor, HAT Holdings I or HAT Holdings II) owing to the Guarantors, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Obligor (other than another Guarantor, HAT Holdings I or HAT Holdings II) to a Guarantor as subrogee of a Secured Party or resulting from a Guarantors performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If a Secured Party so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Obligors (other than another Guarantor, HAT Holdings I or HAT Holdings II) to the Guarantors shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantors as trustee for the Secured Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantors under this Guaranty.

10. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Guarantor or any Borrower Party under any Debtor Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by such Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Secured Parties.

The Guarantors shall, jointly and severally, pay within ten (10) Business Days of request all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party fees and expenses (including attorneys fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Secured Parties rights under this Guaranty or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any workout or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Lender in any proceeding any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.
12. Miscellaneous. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors. No failure by any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or

remedy. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Lender, Administrative Agent and the Guarantors in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantors for the benefit of any Secured Party or any term or provision thereof.
13. Condition of Borrowers. Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the Obligors such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of each Obligor as the Guarantors require, and that no Secured Party has any duty, and the Guarantors are not relying on any Secured Party at any time, to disclose to the Guarantors any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Obligor or any other guarantor (the Guarantors waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure to provide the same).

The rights of Administrative Agent and the Lender under this Section 14 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Person may have. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to use reasonable efforts to notify the applicable Guarantor promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that (i) the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability in the event of any failure to give such notice.
