GUARANTY

SECTION 2.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (including, without limitation, all amounts which would have 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)), of the following (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”):

(a) all Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Loan Party to each Lender Party now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document (including this Guaranty), whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise; and

(b) any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by each Lender Party in enforcing any of its rights under this Guaranty.

This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not merely of collection, and the Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Collateral before or as a condition to the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greatest amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any provisions of applicable state Law.

SECTION 2.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, if any Event of Default under Section 8.1.7 of the Credit Agreement shall occur or the Loans are declared due and payable, the Guarantor will, automatically and without the requirement that any demand for payment be made, pay to the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations that are then due and payable.

-2-

SECTION 2.3 Guaranty Absolute. This Guaranty is a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments shall have irrevocably terminated. The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the agreement 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 Party with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating to any thereof;

(b) the failure of any Lender Party:

(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or

(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(c) 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 compromise, renewal, extension, acceleration or release with respect thereto, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document;

(d) any addition, exchange, release, impairment or non-perfection of any collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(e) any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party against any Lender Party;

(f) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of the Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the 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, the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; or

(g) any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or the Guarantor, including as a result of any proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 8.1.7 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2.4 Reinstatement, etc. The 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 Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored

-3-

by any Lender Party, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 2.5 Waiver. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, and any requirement that any Lender Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien on any property or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations) or any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 2.6 Waiver of Subrogation. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by applicable Law and until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments have irrevocably terminated, any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration or indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender Party against the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any collateral which any Lender Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract or Law. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The 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 of Taxes. All payments made by the Guarantor hereunder shall be free and clear of all Taxes.
