Lender that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety (other than the defense of payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full).

This Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full, the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guarantee or any other Financial Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against the Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee shall have been paid in full in cash. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the later of the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee, such amount

shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders and the Lender, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Lender in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee, whether matured or not matured, in accordance with the terms of the Financial Documents. If (i) the Guarantor shall make payment to the Lender of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee shall have been paid in full in cash, the Lender will, at the Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment made by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee.

6.1 Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to subordinate, any and all debts, liabilities and other obligation (including, without limitation, all payment obligations) owed to the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, by the Borrower (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 6.1:

(a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default as defined in the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries may receive payments from the Borrower on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default (including, without limitation, the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law), unless the Lender otherwise agrees, the

Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall not demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

(b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to the Borrower, the Guarantor agrees that the Lender and the Lenders shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before the Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries receive payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any bankruptcy law relating to the Borrower), the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries shall, if the Lender so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Lender and deliver such payments to the Lender on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guarantee.

(d) Lender Authorization. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any bankruptcy law relating to the Borrower), the Lender is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of,

Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Lender for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).

(e) Liens. The Guarantor hereby subordinates, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to subordinate, any and all present and future Liens of the Guarantor or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, on any property or assets of the Borrower, to any and all present and future Liens of the Lender, or any security trustee acting on their behalf granted to secure the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (the “Senior Indebtedness”), notwithstanding the respective times of attachment of the interests of the Lender, the Guarantor or its Subsidiaries, or the respective times that the Subordinated Obligations or the Senior Indebtedness arise or are incurred.

7.1 Continuing Guarantee; Assignments. This Guarantee is a continuing guarantee and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guarantee, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and the Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Lender may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Promissory Note held by it) to any other Person with the prior written consent of the Guarantor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and such consent not to be required after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such assignor herein. The Guarantor shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender.

8.1 Payments; Application. All payments to be made hereunder by Guarantor shall be made in U.S. Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without deduction (whether for taxes or otherwise) or offset and shall be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance herewith subject to Section 11.8 of the Credit Agreement.

9.1 Attorneys Fees and Costs. The Guarantor agrees to pay, on demand, all reasonable and documented attorneys fees and all reasonable, documented and out-of-pocket costs and expenses which may be incurred by the Lender in connection with the enforcement of this Guarantee or in any way arising out of, or consequential to, the protection, assertion, or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any security therefor), irrespective of whether suit is brought.
