GUARANTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1 Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and
irrevocably (1) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the
Borrowers and each other Obligor now or hereafter existing under each of the Credit Agreement, the
Notes and each other Loan Document to which the Borrowers or such other Obligor is or may become a
party, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts
which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b)
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)), and (2) indemnifies and holds
harmless each Lender and each holder of a Note for any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by such Lender or such holder, as the case may
be, in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty; provided however, that each Guarantor shall be
liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred
without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of
collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that
any Lender or any holder of any Note exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any
remedy whatsoever against the
| Page 2 | Guaranty |
Borrowers or any other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a
condition to the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 2.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the
occurrence of any event of the type described in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, with
respect to the Borrowers, any other Obligor or any other Guarantor, and if such event shall occur
at a time when any of the Obligations may not then be due and payable, such Guarantor will pay to
the Lenders forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all
such Obligations were then due and payable.
SECTION 2.3 Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a
continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full
force and effect until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) of the
Borrowers and each other Obligor have been paid in full (or, in the case of L/C Obligations, Cash
Collateralized), all obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall have been paid in full, all
Commitments shall have terminated and, except as provided in Section 10.01(e) of the Credit
Agreement, all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated. No Guarantor may rescind or revoke its
obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrowers and each
other Obligor will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and each
other Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or
any holder of any Note with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of: (1) any lack of validity,
legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document; (2) the
failure of any Lender or any holder of any Note (a) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other
guarantor) under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or
otherwise, or (b) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral
securing, any Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor; (3) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or
any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations of the
Borrowers or any other Obligor; (4) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any
Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor for any reason, including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor
hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or
termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the
Borrowers, any other Obligor or otherwise; (5) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement, any
Note or any other Loan Document; (6) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection
of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure
from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender or any holder of any Note securing any of the
Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor; (7) the insolvency or bankruptcy of, or similar
event affecting, the Borrowers or any other Obligor; or (8) any other circumstance which might
otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrowers,
any other Obligor, any surety or any guarantor. Each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses which
may arise with respect to any of the foregoing, and each Guarantor waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty with respect to future indebtedness.
SECTION 2.4 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part)
of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any holder of
any Note, upon
| Page 3 | Guaranty |
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, any other Obligor
or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 2.5 Waiver, etc. The Guarantors hereby waive promptness, diligence, notice
of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or any
other Obligor and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any other Lender
or any holder of any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any
property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrowers, any other
Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing
the Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Obligations are paid in full, all
Commitments have terminated and all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated (except as provided
in Section 10.01(e) of the Credit Agreement), the Guarantors shall not enforce or exercise any
claim or other rights which they may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrowers or any other
Obligor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
the Lenders against the Borrowers or any other Obligor or any collateral which the Administrative
Agent now has or hereafter acquires, 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 the Borrowers
or any other Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any
manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid
to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been
paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lenders, and shall forthwith
be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by the Guarantor receiving such
payment to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each
Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is
knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 2.7 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, etc. Each Guarantor hereby agrees
that:
(a) All payments by such Guarantor hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 3.01 of
the Credit Agreement free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including any franchise taxes imposed on or
measured by its net income), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the
Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or
maintains its Lending Office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by such
Guarantor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or
regulation, then such Guarantor will (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to such Lender an official receipt or
other documentation satisfactory to such Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii) pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
amount actually received by such Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Taxes are
directly asserted against any Lender with respect to any payment received by such Lender hereunder,
such Lender may pay such Taxes and such Guarantor will promptly pay such additional amounts
(including, if
| Page 4 | Guaranty |
incurred as a result of such Guarantor’s or the Borrowers’ action, omission or
delay, any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received
by such Lender after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount)
shall equal the amount such Lender would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.
(b) If a Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or
fails to remit to any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such
Guarantor shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may
become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure.
(c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Guarantors hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Guarantors contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the
payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Loan.
SECTION 2.8 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior to
the Obligations any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by the Borrowers or
other Obligor to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that if any Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, it will not permit the Borrowers to repay such
indebtedness or any part thereof and it will not accept payment from the Borrowers of such
indebtedness or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. If a
Guarantor receives any such payment without the prior required written consent, the amount so paid
shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from the other funds of
such Guarantor, and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by the
Administrative Agent as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in
part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any portions of the Obligations, whether matured
or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.

Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered
and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.
SECTION 3.2 Releases. At such time as the Revolving Loan shall have been paid in full
(other than contingent indemnity obligations and, with respect to L/C Obligations, if they have
been Cash Collateralized), the Commitments have been terminated, and, subject to Section 10.01(e)
of the Credit Agreement, no Lender Hedging Agreements are outstanding, the Administrative Agent
shall, at the request and expense of the Guarantors following such termination, promptly execute
and deliver to the Guarantors such documents and instruments as the Guarantors shall reasonably
request to evidence termination and release of this Guaranty.
SECTION 3.3 Administrative Agent and Lenders; Successors and Assigns.
(a) The Administrative Agent is Administrative Agent for each Lender under the Credit

exercise any rights in Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ favor under or in connection with this
Guaranty. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and obligations vis-a-vis each other
may be subject to one or more separate agreements between those parties. However, the Guarantors
are not required to
| Page 5 | Guaranty |
inquire about any such agreement and are not subject to any terms of it unless
the Guarantors specifically enter into such agreement. Therefore, neither Guarantors nor any of
their successors or assigns are entitled to any benefits or provisions of any such separate
agreement nor are they entitled to rely upon or raise as a defense any party’s failure or refusal
to comply with the provisions of any such agreement.
(b) This Guaranty benefits the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective
successors and assigns and binds each Guarantor and its successors and assigns. Upon appointment of

Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders without any further act, deed, conveyance, or other
formality other than that appointment. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under

provisions governing assignments of the obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty.
SECTION 3.4 Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by any Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party against whom it is
sought to be enforced and is in conformity with the requirements of Section 10.01 of the Credit
Agreement. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.

property or interest that a Guarantor may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or hereafter
in the possession of, any such Lender, to the extent of the full amount of the Obligations.
