whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or otherwise, each Guarantor has agreed
to guaranty the Guarantied Obligations.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, each Guarantor hereby
agrees as follows:

with their respective successors and assigns).
"Lender Group" means, individually and collectively, each of the
Lenders and Agent.
"Voidable Transfer" has the meaning set forth in Section 9 of this
Guaranty.
(b) Construction. Unless the context of this Guaranty clearly requires
otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the
singular include the plural, the terms "includes" and "including" are not
limiting, and the term "or" has, except where otherwise indicated, the inclusive
meaning represented by the phrase "and/or." The words "hereof," "herein,"
"hereby," "hereunder," and similar terms in this Guaranty refer to this Guaranty
as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Guaranty. Section,
subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Guaranty
unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Guaranty to any agreement,
instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes,
extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and
supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on
such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals,
replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein).
Neither this Guaranty nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed
against the Lender Group or the Guarantors, whether under any rule of
construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by
all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary
meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions
of all parties hereto. Any reference herein to the satisfaction or payment in
full of the Guarantied Obligations shall mean the payment in full in cash (or
cash collateralization in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement) of
all Guarantied Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification
Guarantied Obligations and the full and final termination of any commitment to
extend any financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement and any other
Loan Document. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include
such Person's successors and assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained
herein or any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a
Record and any Record so transmitted shall constitute a representation and
warranty as to the accuracy and completeness of the information contained
therein.
2. GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranties to Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Group, as and
for its own debt, until final payment in full thereof has been made, (a) the
payment of the Guarantied Obligations, when and as the same shall become due and
payable, whether at maturity, pursuant to a mandatory prepayment requirement, by
acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of each Guarantor that the
guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of
collection; and (b) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance,
and fulfillment by Borrower of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and
obligations of Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement and under each of the
other Loan Documents.
3. CONTINUING GUARANTY. This Guaranty includes Guarantied Obligations
arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending,
increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guarantied Obligations,
changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions
thereof, or creating new or additional Guarantied Obligations after prior
Guarantied Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part. To the maximum
extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty as to future Obligations. If such a revocation is effective
notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees
that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has
been received by Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied
Obligations in existence on such date (including any subsequent continuation,
extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or
other terms
-2-
and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guarantied
Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created
pursuant to a legally binding commitment of Agent in existence on the date of
such revocation, (d) no payment by any Guarantor, Borrower, or from any other
source, prior to the date of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation
of any Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by Borrower or from any source
other than a Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be
applied to that portion of the Guarantied Obligations as to which the revocation
is effective and which are not, therefore, guarantied hereunder, and to the
extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of any Guarantor
hereunder.
4. PERFORMANCE UNDER THIS GUARANTY. In the event that Borrower fails to
make any payment of any Guarantied Obligations, on or prior to the date such
payment is due and payable after expiration of any applicable grace period
thereof, or if Borrower shall fail to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any
other obligation referred to in clause (b) of Section 2 of this Guaranty in the
manner provided in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document after the
expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, each Guarantor immediately
shall cause, as applicable, such payment to be made or such obligation to be
performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled; provided, however that no Guarantor
shall be required to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any other obligation
referred to in clause (b) of Section 2 of this Guaranty if prohibited by law.
5. PRIMARY OBLIGATIONS. This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation
of each Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is
an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance
which shall remain in full force and effect until the Guarantied Obligations
have been paid in full in cash in accordance with the provisions of the Credit
Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated. Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that it is directly, jointly and severally with any
other guarantor of the Guarantied Obligations, if any, liable to Agent, for the
benefit of the Lender Group, that the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
are independent of the obligations of Borrower or any other guarantor, and that
a separate action may be brought against each Guarantor, whether such action is
brought against Borrower or any other guarantor or whether Borrower or any other
guarantor is joined in such action. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its
liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the
exercise or enforcement by any member of the Lender Group of whatever remedies
they may have against Borrower or any other guarantor, or the enforcement of any
lien or realization upon any security by any member of the Lender Group. Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that any release which may be given by Agent to Borrower
or any other guarantor shall not release any Guarantor. Each Guarantor consents
and agrees that no member of the Lender Group shall be under any obligation to
marshal any property or assets of Borrower or any other guarantor in favor of
such Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guarantied
Obligations.
6. WAIVERS.
(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor
hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or
other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement, or
the creation or existence of any Guarantied Obligations; (iii) notice of the
amount of the Guarantied Obligations, subject, however, to such Guarantor's
right to make inquiry of Agent to ascertain the amount of the Guarantied
Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the
financial condition of Borrower or of any other fact that might increase any
Guarantor's risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, demand,
protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Loan Documents; (vi)
notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement; and (vii)
all other notices and demands to which such Guarantor might otherwise be
entitled, except if such notice or demand is specifically required to be given
to such Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Loan Documents to which such
Guarantor is a party.
-3-
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor
hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require any member of the
Lender Group to institute suit against Borrower or to exhaust any rights and
remedies which any member of the Lender Group has or may have against Borrower.
In this regard, each Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of each
and all Guarantied Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, as
fully as if the Guarantied Obligations were directly owing to Agent or the
Lender Group, as applicable, by such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further waives
any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the
defense that the Guarantied Obligations shall have been performed and paid in
full, to the extent of any such payment) of Borrower or by reason of the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower in respect
thereof.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor
hereby waives: (i) any right to assert against any member of the Lender Group
any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such
Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against Borrower or any other
party liable to any member of the Lender Group; (ii) any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly
from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or
enforceability of the Guarantied Obligations or any security therefor; (iii) any
right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an
election of remedies by any member of the Lender Group; (iv) the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor's liability hereunder or the
enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any
statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantied Obligations shall similarly
operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations
applicable to such Guarantor's liability hereunder.
(d) Until such time as all of the Guarantied Obligations have been
paid in full: (i) each Guarantor hereby waives and postpones any right of
subrogation such Guarantor has or may have as against Borrower with respect to
the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) each Guarantor hereby waives and postpones any
right to proceed against Borrower or any other Person, now or hereafter, for
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement, or any other suretyship rights and
claims (irrespective of whether direct or indirect, liquidated or contingent),
with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; and (iii) each Guarantor also hereby
waives and postpones any right to proceed or to seek recourse against or with
respect to any property or asset of Borrower.
7. RELEASES. Each Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or
by such Guarantor and without affecting or impairing the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder, any member of the Lender Group may, by action or inaction,
compromise or settle, extend the period of duration or the time for the payment,
or discharge the performance of, or may refuse to, or otherwise not enforce, or
may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one
or more of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document or may grant other indulgences to the Borrower in respect thereof, or
may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one
or more of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or may, by action or
inaction, release or substitute any other guarantor, if any, of the Guarantied
Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or waive, by action or inaction,
any security for the Guarantied Obligations or any other guaranty of the
Guarantied Obligations, or any portion thereof.
8. NO ELECTION. The Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, shall have the
right to seek recourse against each Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for
herein and no election by Agent, on behalf of any member of the Lender Group, to
proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any
obligation, shall constitute a waiver of Agent's, on behalf of the Lender
Group's, right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against
other parties unless Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group, has expressly waived
such right in writing. Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, no action or proceeding by the Agent, on behalf of the Lender Group,
under
-4-
any document or instrument evidencing the Guarantied Obligations shall serve to
diminish the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent
that the Lender Group finally and unconditionally shall have realized payment in
full of the Guarantied Obligations by such action or proceeding.
9. REVIVAL AND REINSTATEMENT. If the incurrence or payment of the
Guarantied Obligations or the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty
by any Guarantor or the transfer by any Guarantor to Agent of any property of
such Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or
voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors' rights, including
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances,
preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of
property (collectively, a "Voidable Transfer"), and if the Lender Group is
required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer,
or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel, then, as to any
such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Lender Group is required
or elects to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and
attorneys fees of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of such
Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall
exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
10. FINANCIAL CONDITION OF BORROWER. Each Guarantor represents and warrants
to the Lender Group that it is currently informed of the financial condition of
Borrower and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal
and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guarantied Obligations. Each
Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Lender Group that it has read
and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and each other
Loan Document. Each Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep
itself informed of Borrower's financial condition, the financial condition of
other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the
risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guarantied Obligations.
11. PAYMENTS; APPLICATION. All payments to be made hereunder by any
Guarantor shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without
deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset and shall be applied to the
Guarantied Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
12. ATTORNEYS FEES AND COSTS. Each Guarantor agrees to pay, on demand, all
reasonable attorneys fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses which may
be incurred by Agent or the Lender Group in connection with the enforcement of
this Guaranty or in any way arising out of, or consequential to, the protection,
assertion, or enforcement of the Guarantied Obligations (or any security
therefor), irrespective of whether suit is brought.
13. NOTICES. All notices and other communications hereunder to Agent shall
be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance Section 11
of the Credit Agreement. All notices and other communications hereunder to any
Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in care of
Borrower in accordance with Section 11 of the Credit Agreement.
14. CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. No remedy under this Guaranty, under the Credit
Agreement, or any other Loan Document is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, but each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to any and
every other remedy given under this Guaranty, under the Credit Agreement, or any
other Loan Document, and those provided by law. No delay or omission by the
Lender Group or Agent on behalf thereof to exercise any right under this
Guaranty shall impair any such right nor be construed to be a waiver thereof. No
failure on the part of the Lender Group or Agent on behalf thereof to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right under this Guaranty shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right under this
Guaranty preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right.
-5-
15. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. Each provision of this Guaranty shall be
severable from every other provision of this Guaranty for the purpose of
determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
16. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Guaranty constitutes the entire
agreement between each Guarantor and the Lender Group pertaining to the subject
matter contained herein. Except for modifications made pursuant to the execution
and delivery of a joinder and supplement in accordance with Section 22(a)
hereof, this Guaranty may not be altered, amended, or modified, nor may any
provision hereof be waived or noncompliance therewith consented to, except by
means of a writing executed by each Guarantor and Agent, on behalf of the Lender
Group. Any such alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or consent shall be
effective only to the extent specified therein and for the specific purpose for
which given. No course of dealing and no delay or waiver of any right or default
under this Guaranty shall be deemed a waiver of any other, similar or
dissimilar, right or default or otherwise prejudice the rights and remedies
hereunder.
17. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each
Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the
successors and assigns of the Lender Group; provided, however, except in
connection with a Permitted Merger, no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or
delegate any of its duties hereunder without Agent's prior written consent and
any unconsented to assignment shall be absolutely void. In the event of any
assignment or other transfer of rights by the Lender Group, the rights and
benefits herein conferred upon the Lender Group shall automatically extend to
and be vested in such assignee or other transferee.
18. NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. This Guaranty is solely for the benefit of
each member of the Lender Group and each of its successors and assigns and may
not be relied on by any other Person.

Subsidiary, such Subsidiary shall become a Guarantor hereunder with the same
