Exhibit (d)(6)

LIMITED GUARANTEE

This Limited Guarantee, dated as of September 28, 2026 by Transom Capital Fund IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Guarantor”), is in favor of SoundThinking, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Guaranteed Party”). Reference is hereby made to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Guaranteed Party, Transom Signal MergerSub, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub”), and Transom Signal AcquireCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parent”, together with Merger Sub, the “Buyer Parties”). Capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.

1.

Guarantee. To induce the Company to enter into the Merger Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions, set forth herein, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Guaranteed Party, the due and punctual payment, performance and discharge of Parent’s and Merger Sub’s obligations (if any) to pay to the Guaranteed Party (a) any monetary damages that survive termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with Section 8.5 of the Merger Agreement and (b) certain other expenses that may become payable in accordance with Section 6.16 of the Merger Agreement, in each case subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement (including the Parent Liability Limit), in each case if and when due pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee or in any other document or agreement, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees (on behalf of itself and each other Company Related Party) that (a) in no event shall the aggregate liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee exceed an amount equal to $14,250,000 (such amount, the “Cap”), (b) the Guaranteed Obligations will be used only for the uses described in this Section 1 and shall not be payable at any other time, in any other circumstance or for any other purpose, and (c) neither the Guarantor nor any Guarantor Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) shall have any obligation or liability to any Person relating to, arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee, other than as expressly set forth herein; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein the foregoing shall not limit the Guaranteed Party’s rights under the Equity Commitment Letter (subject to the limitations set forth therein). All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds.

2.

Terms of Guarantee.

(a)

This Guarantee is an absolute, unconditional, irrevocable and continuing guarantee of payment, not collection, and the Guaranteed Party, in its sole discretion, may bring a separate Legal Action or Legal Actions and prosecute against the Guarantor by the Guaranteed Party in the Chosen Court (as hereinafter defined) to enforce this Guarantee up to an amount equal to the Guaranteed Obligations on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Cap), irrespective of whether any Legal Action is brought against any Buyer Party or whether any Buyer Party is joined in any such Legal Action or Legal Actions. The Guaranteed Party shall not have any obligation to proceed at any time or in any manner against, or exhaust any or all the Guaranteed Party’s rights against, any Buyer Party prior to proceeding against any Guarantor hereunder.

(b)

Except as otherwise provided herein and without amending or limiting the other provisions of this Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(f) and Section 5), the liability of the Guarantor under this Guarantee shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(i)

the value, genuineness, regularity, illegality or enforceability of the Merger Agreement, any Commitment Letter or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or in the Merger Agreement;

(ii)

any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Buyer Party or the Guarantor, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceeding affecting any Buyer Party or the Guarantor or any of their respective assets;

(iii)

any waiver, recission, amendment, compromise or modification of the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter or any other agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with its terms, or change in the time, manner, place or terms of payment or performance, or any change or extension of the time of payment or performance of, renewal or alteration of, the Guaranteed Obligations, any escrow arrangement or other security therefor, any liability incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof, or any agreement entered into by the Guaranteed Party, on the one hand, and any Buyer Party, on the other hand, in connection therewith;

(iv)

the existence of any claim, set off or other right that the Guarantor may have at any time against any Buyer Party or the Guaranteed Party, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

(v)

the adequacy of any alternative means the Guaranteed Party may have of obtaining payment related to the Guaranteed Obligations;

(vi)

the failure or delay on the part of the Guaranteed Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Buyer Party, Guarantor or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement;

(vii)

the addition, substitution or release of any Person now or hereafter liable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, this Guarantee or any related agreement or document;

(viii)

any failure to obtain any authorization or approval from or other action by or to notify or file with, any Governmental Entity required in connection with the performance of the obligations hereunder by the Guarantor; or

(ix)

any impossibility or impracticability of performance, illegality, force majeure, any act of government, or other circumstances which might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Parent or the Guarantor.

(c)

The Guarantor hereby waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, incurrence or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Guaranteed Party upon this Guarantee (and of the Guaranteed Obligations) or acceptance of this Guarantee. All of the Guaranteed Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between any Buyer Party or the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Guaranteed Party, on the other, shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. This Guarantee is a primary obligation of the Guarantor with respect the Guaranteed Obligations and is not merely the creation of a surety relationship. When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Guarantor, the Guaranteed Party shall be under no obligation to pursue such rights and remedies it may have against any Buyer Party or any other Person (except as set forth in Section 1 hereof) for the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Guaranteed Party to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any Buyer Party or any such other Person or to realize upon or to exercise any such right of offset shall not relieve the Guarantor of any liability hereunder.

(d)

The Guaranteed Party may, at any time and from time to time while this Guarantee is in effect, without the consent of or notice to the Guarantor, without incurring responsibility to the Guarantor, and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder, upon or without any terms or conditions and in whole or in part, (i) extend the time of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) make any agreement with any Buyer Party for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between the Guaranteed Party and any Buyer Party; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Guarantee is intended to modify or supersede the provisions of the Merger Agreement as between the Guaranteed Party and the Buyer Parties.

(e)

The Guaranteed Party shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to the Guaranteed Obligations in the event that the Guarantor or any Buyer Party becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Guaranteed Party to so file such claim shall not affect the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any bar to the payment, or collection, of the Guaranteed Obligations as a result of any such proceeding shall not discharge the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder). The Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee shall not be limited if the Guaranteed Party is precluded for any reason (including, without limitation, the application of the automatic stay under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws) from enforcing or exercising any right or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. In the event that any payment to the Guaranteed Party in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation that is the obligation of a Guarantor hereunder is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, the Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder with respect to such Guaranteed Obligation as if such payment had not been made, on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein and in the Merger Agreement.

(f)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee or in any other document or agreement, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees (on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Company Related Parties) that (i) the Guarantor shall have all defenses to its obligations under this Guarantee (which in any event shall be subject to the Cap) that would be available to any Buyer Party or any assignee thereof in respect of the Merger Agreement with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations (other than defenses arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of any Buyer Party), and (ii) without limiting the generality of clause (i), any breach of, or failure to comply with, the Merger Agreement by the Guaranteed Party, including, without limitation, any breach by the Guaranteed Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained therein or in any Transaction Document (whether such breach or failure results from fraud, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or otherwise), in each case, solely as and to the extent (A) such matters would be defenses of Parent under the Merger Agreement and (B) would cause any of Parent’s conditions to the Offer not to be satisfied or would otherwise relieve Parent’s of any of its obligations under the Merger Agreement shall likewise automatically and without any further action on the part of any Person relieve the Guarantor of its obligations under this Guarantee.

3.

Waiver of Acceptance, Presentment, Etc. Without amending or limiting the other provisions of this Guarantee (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(f) and Section 5), the Guarantor expressly and irrevocably waives any and all rights and defenses arising under any applicable law that would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Guaranteed Party, promptness, diligence, acceptance hereof, presentment, demand and protest, any defenses that might be available under any stay, moratorium or similar applicable law, and any notice of any kind not provided for herein or not required to be provided to any Buyer Party under or in connection with the Merger Agreement, all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar applicable law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshalling of assets of any Buyer Party or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally, other than in respect of fraud, intentional misrepresentation or willful misconduct, defenses that are available to any Buyer Party under the Merger Agreement (other than defenses arising from the bankruptcy or insolvency of Parent) and defenses available to the Guarantor under or as a result of a breach by the Guaranteed Party of this Guarantee.

4.

Sole Remedy.

(a)

The Guaranteed Party acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its respective Company Related Parties, that the assets of Parent are limited to cash in a de minimis amount and its rights under, and on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in the Merger Agreement and the Equity Commitment Letter and that no additional funds are expected to be contributed to Parent until the Offer Acceptance Time occurs (or will occur immediately thereafter) pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Guaranteed Party further acknowledges and agrees, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, that no Person (other than the Guarantor on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth herein) has any obligations hereunder and that, notwithstanding that the Guarantor may be a limited partnership, limited liability company, exempt company or similar entity or anything to the contrary herein or in any other Transaction Document, the Guaranteed Party and the Company Related Parties have no remedy, recourse or right of recovery under, or otherwise related to, this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby against, or contribution from, any Guarantor Affiliate, through the Guarantor or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate veil or similar action, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any statute, regulation or applicable law, by or through a claim (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) by or on behalf of the Guarantor or Merger Sub against the Guarantor or any other Guarantor Affiliate, or otherwise, except for the Retained Claims (as hereinafter defined) against the party or parties with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims, and no personal liability shall attach to, in each case with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Guarantor Affiliates.

(b)

So long as this Guarantee is in effect, the Guaranteed Party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, and shall cause each of the Company Related Parties not to institute, directly or indirectly, any Legal Action or bring any other claim under, in connection with or otherwise related to this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate, except for the Retained Claims against the party(ies) with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims.

(c)

Recourse hereunder by the Guaranteed Party against the Guarantor under, and in accordance with the terms of, this Guarantee, and recourse for the Retained Claims against the party or parties with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims, in each case, subject to the Cap (as applicable), and any other conditions or other limitations described in the Merger Agreement, this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents, shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Guaranteed Party and the Company Related Parties against the Guarantor and any Guarantor Affiliate in respect of any claims, liabilities losses or obligations arising under, or otherwise relating to, this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and shall be without duplication from one to the other. The Guaranteed Party, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each controlled Company Related Party, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any and all other remedies to which it or any other Company Related Party might otherwise be entitled to pursue against, and covenants not to bring any other claim against in connection therewith, Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub and any other Guarantor Affiliates. Notwithstanding herein to the contrary, the Guarantor Affiliates are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 4(c).

5.

Termination. The Guarantor shall automatically have no further liability or obligation, and the Guaranteed Party shall have no rights, under this Guarantee from and after the earlier of (a) the consummation of the Offer and the Merger and the satisfaction of the Required Amounts, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement, (b) in the case of the valid termination of the Merger Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1 thereof, the date that is ninety (90) days after the valid termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms if the Guaranteed Party has not commenced a Legal Action in the Chosen Court against Parent or Guarantor under, and in accordance with, the Merger Agreement or this Guarantee for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations (any such Legal Action, a “Qualifying Suit”) on or prior to such date and (c) payment of the Guaranteed Obligations by or on behalf of the Guarantor and/or Parent in cash in an amount up to the Cap (or such lesser amount set forth in a final order of the Chosen Court or by written agreement of the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party). In the event that the Merger Agreement has been terminated in the circumstances described in clause (b) of the preceding sentence and a Qualifying Suit is filed prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after such valid termination, (i) the Guarantor shall not have any further liability or obligation, and the Guaranteed Party shall have no further rights, under this Guarantee from and after the earliest of (A) a final non-appealable resolution of such Qualifying Suit determining that either Parent or Merger Sub does not have any liability or obligation to the Guaranteed Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, or that the Guarantor does not owe any amount pursuant to Section 1 of this Guarantee, (B) a written agreement between the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party terminating the obligations of the Guarantor with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (C) payment of the aggregate amount of Guaranteed Obligations due and owing (or alleged to be due and owing) by or on behalf of Parent, Merger Sub or the Guarantor in cash in an amount not to exceed the Cap (or such lesser amount set forth in a final non-appealable order of the Chosen Court or by written agreement of the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party) and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, the Guarantor shall in no event have any liabilities or obligations under or otherwise relating to this Guarantee, except for liabilities with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations pertaining to such Qualifying Suit on the terms, and subject to the conditions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Cap), set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, the terms of this Guarantee shall survive termination or expiration of the commitment embodied Equity Commitment Letter. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, (x) the provisions of this Guarantee that are for the benefit of the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate (including the provisions of Sections 4, 5, 7 and 10) shall survive indefinitely following any termination of the Guarantor’s liabilities or obligations under this Guarantee and shall be enforceable by the Guarantor and each Guarantor Affiliate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guarantee, in the event that the Guaranteed Party or any of the Company Related Parties institutes any Legal Action or makes any claim against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate (1) that asserts any provision of this Guarantee (including Section 1 hereof) is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, that asserts any theory of liability against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate (other than any Retained Claim against the party(ies) with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims), or that asserts that the Guarantor is liable in excess of, or to a greater extent than, the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap) or that the Guarantor is liable in the aggregate in excess of, or to a greater extent than, the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap), (2) under, in connection with or otherwise related to this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, other than a Retained Claim against the party(ies) with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims), or (3) in respect of any Retained Claim in any court, body, forum or venue other than the Chosen Court in accordance with Section 14, then (I) the obligations of the Guarantor, and the rights of the Guaranteed party, under this Guarantee shall terminate ab initio and shall thereupon be null and void, (II) if a Guarantor has previously made any payments under this Guarantee, then the Guarantor shall be entitled to recover such payments from the Guaranteed Party and the Guaranteed Party shall promptly pay all amounts to the Guarantor and (III) none of the Guarantor or the Guarantor Affiliates shall have any liabilities or obligations to the Guaranteed Party or any Company Related Party under, in connection with or otherwise related to this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except with respect to the Retained Claims against the parties with respect to which such claims are Retained Claims.

6.

Continuing Guarantee. Except to the extent that the obligations and liabilities of a Guarantor are validly terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 5 hereof or are otherwise released, discharged or relieved pursuant to Section 2(f), this Guarantee is a continuing one, may not be revoked or terminated, and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment and satisfaction in full of the Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap), shall be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Guaranteed Party and its successors and permitted assigns. All obligations to which this Guarantee applies or may apply under the terms hereof shall be conclusively presumed to have been created in reliance hereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guarantee, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and the Company Related Parties, that, to the extent that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in cash by or on behalf of Parent or the Guarantor, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guarantee with respect to payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be automatically reduced, in the aggregate, on a dollar for dollar basis.

7.

Release. By its acceptance of this Guarantee, to the maximum extent permitted by law, the Guaranteed Party, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company Related Parties, hereby waives each and every right of recovery against each of Guarantor and each Guarantor Affiliate under, in connection with or otherwise related to this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise relating hereto or thereto and hereby releases the Guarantor and each Guarantor Affiliate from and with respect to any claim, known or unknown, now existing or hereafter arising, under or in connection with this Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or otherwise relating hereto or thereto, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate (or limited liability company, partnership or other) veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf the Guarantor, Parent, Merger Sub or any other Person against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate, or otherwise under any theory of law, equity or otherwise (the “Released Claims”); provided, that the foregoing shall not limit, and the Released Claims shall not include, any of the Retained Claims. Without otherwise limiting the generality of the foregoing or any rights or remedies available to the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate, the Guaranteed Party hereby agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Company Related Parties, that this Guarantee shall serve as a complete defense to any Released Claim against the Guarantor or any Guarantor Affiliate.

8.

Entire Agreement. This Guarantee, the Merger Agreement, and the Equity Commitment Letter constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

9.

Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Guarantee may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Party, or in the case of a waiver, by the party against whom the waiver is to be effective. The foregoing notwithstanding, no failure or delay by any party in exercising any right hereunder or the Merger Agreement shall operate as a waiver hereof or thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent such occurrence. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Guaranteed Party or allowed it by Law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Guaranteed Party at any time or from time to time.

10.

No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the provisions of this Guarantee which reference Guarantor Affiliates (each of which shall be for the benefit of and enforceable by each Guarantor Affiliate), the parties hereto hereby agree that their respective representations, warranties, agreements and covenants set forth herein are solely for the benefit of other parties hereto, in accordance with, and on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Guarantee, and this Guarantee is not intended to, and does not, or confer upon any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Guarantor Affiliates, any rights or remedies hereunder, including the right to rely upon the representation and warranties set forth herein.

11.

Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Guarantee and any amendments hereto may be executed in counterparts (including by facsimile, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (.pdf) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document), each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were original signed versions upon the same instrument delivered in person. This Guarantee shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered (by telecopy, facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise as authorized by the prior sentence) to the other parties (and validly released from escrow, if such signed counterparts were delivered to the other parties in escrow). No party may raise the use of any such electronic delivery or electronic signature as a defense to the formation of a contract, and each party forever waives any such defense, except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.

12.

Notices. Any notice, request, instruction, or other communication under this Agreement must be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been duly delivered and received hereunder (a) upon delivery after being sent for next Business Day delivery, fees prepaid, via a reputable nationwide overnight courier service, or immediately if delivered by hand or by e-mail transmission (as long as no notice of failure of delivery is received) or by email (confirmation of receipt required)), in each case addressed as follows:

Governing Law. This Guarantee, and all Legal Actions (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Guarantee, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Guarantee (including any Legal Action based upon, arising out of, or related to any transaction contemplated by this Guarantee, any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Guarantee, or as an inducement to enter into this Guarantee) (a “Dispute”), shall be governed by and enforced and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably agrees that any Dispute shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of Delaware) (the “Chosen Court”).

14.

Consent to Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any Dispute for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any Dispute in any court other than the Chosen Court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any Dispute, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the Chosen Court, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such Chosen Court (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Dispute in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such Dispute is improper or (iii) this Guarantee, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such Chosen Courts. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process inside or outside the territorial jurisdiction of the courts referred to in this Section 14 in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Guarantee will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

15.

Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS GUARANTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE. EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTEE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 15. EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT (a) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (b) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER; (c) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (d) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTEE BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 15.

16.

Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Party that (a) it is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization or formation, as applicable, (b) it has all limited partnership, limited liability company, corporate or other organizational power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Guarantee, (c) the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guarantee by it has been duly and validly authorized and approved by all necessary limited partnership, limited liability company, corporate or other organizational action by it, (d) this Guarantee has been duly and validly executed and delivered by it and, assuming due and valid authorization, execution and delivery by the other parties hereto, constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms of this Guarantee, except as may be limited by any Bankruptcy and Equity Exceptions, (e) except for such notices, filings, authorizations, approvals or consents of or to a Governmental Entity contemplated by the Merger Agreement to be obtained or made after the date hereof or as would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, all notices, filings, authorizations, approvals or consents of or to any Governmental Entity necessary for the due execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guarantee by it have been obtained or made, (f) except, in the case of clause (ii), as would not materially and adversely affect the ability of the Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, the execution and delivery of, and performance of its obligations under, this Guarantee by it does not (i) violate its organizational documents (ii) violate any applicable law binding on it or its assets or (iii) result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under, require consent under, or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any material obligation or to the loss of any material benefit under, any contract to which it is a party, and (g) the Guarantor has uncalled capital commitments (or otherwise has available funds or sources of available funds) to pay the Guaranteed Obligations (subject to the Cap) under this Guarantee, and such funds shall be available to the Guarantor for so long as this Guarantee remains in effect.

17.

No Assignment. Neither the Guarantor nor the Guaranteed Party may assign their respective rights, interests or obligations hereunder to any other Person (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Guaranteed Party (in the case of an assignment by any Guarantor) or the Guarantor (in the case of an assignment by the Guaranteed Party); provided, that the Guarantor may assign all or any portion of its rights, interest or obligations hereunder to any of its Affiliates, except that no such assignment will relieve the Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder unless and to the extent actually performed. Any attempted assignment of this Guarantee not in accordance with the terms of this Section 17 shall be void.

18.

Severability. Any term or provision of this Guarantee that is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the sole extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remainder of such term or provision or the remaining terms and provisions of this Guarantee in any jurisdiction. If any provision of this Guarantee is so broad as to be unenforceable, such provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guarantee may not be enforced without giving effect to (a) the limitations on the amount(s) payable by the Guarantor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Cap) or the limited circumstances in which the Guaranteed Obligations are payable, in each case, set forth in Section 1 or (b) the provisions of Section 2(f), Section 4, Section 5 and this Section 18. No party hereto shall assert, and each party hereto shall cause its respective Affiliates and representatives acting on its behalf not to assert, that this Guarantee or any part hereof is invalid, illegal or unenforceable.

19.

Headings; Construction. The headings contained in this Guarantee are for convenience of the parties only and shall be given no substantive or interpretive effect whatsoever. The table of contents to this Guarantee is for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Guarantee. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guarantee.
