terms and conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor's execution and delivery of this Guaranty is
one of the conditions precedent to the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor
agrees as follows:
Section 1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and
unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when
due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the
following (collectively referred to as the "Guarantied Obligations"): (a) all
indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender, the Swingline

other Loan Document to which the Borrower is a party, including without
limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans and the payment of all

reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Lenders,
the Swingline Lender and the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or
any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder and (d) all other Obligations.
Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is
a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for
its own account. Accordingly, the Lenders, the Swingline Lender and the Agent
shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any

waives the right of such Guarantor to require any holder of the Guarantied
Obligations to take action against the Borrower as provided in Official Code of
Georgia Annotated ss.10-7-24.
Section 3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the
Guarantied Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter
in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Agent, the Lenders or the Swingline Lender with respect thereto. The liability
of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional in
accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or
otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including
without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents
thereto or has notice thereof):

term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or
manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any

with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other
document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or
(iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion
from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments
or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or
agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any
assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any
of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement
referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment
or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(c) any furnishing to the Agent, the Lenders or the Swingline Lender of
any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or
surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;
(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations,
any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the
Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied
Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other
Loan Party;
(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition,
adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such
Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action
taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court,
in any such proceeding;
(f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor's subrogation rights,
if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
(g) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Loan Party
or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the
Agent, the Lenders or the Swingline Lender, regardless of what liabilities of
the Borrower remain unpaid;
(h) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the
Borrower or in the exercise thereof; or
(i) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, such Guarantor hereunder (other than
termination of this Guaranty as provided in Section 20. hereof).
Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Lenders,
the Swingline Lender and the Agent may, at any time and from time to time,
without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any
Guarantor from its obligations hereunder take any and all actions described in
Section 3. and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms
of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending
or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or
changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations;
(b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part,
of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or
other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the
Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights
against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply
any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations
in such order as the Lenders or the Swingline Lender shall elect.
Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes
to the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender all of the representations
and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to
such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the
same were set forth herein in full.
Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants
which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by
Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment,
demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission
or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent
might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to
discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent, the Lenders
and/or the Swingline Lender are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from
demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason
of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent, the Lenders and/or the Swingline
Lender shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor,
the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration
occurred.
Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever
made on the Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender for repayment or recovery
of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender
repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order
of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any
settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent, such Lender or
the Swingline Lender with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee
in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees
that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding
on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing
any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to
the Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender for the amounts so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to
the Agent, such Lender or the Swingline Lender.
Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any
payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however,
that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of
subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause
of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any
payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and
until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of
or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action,
such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent, the
Lenders and the Swingline Lender and shall forthwith pay such amount to the
Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to
be held by the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations
existing.
Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor
hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or
otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any
deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if such Guarantor
is required by Applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority to make any such
deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent, the Lenders and
the Swingline Lender such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the
Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender of the full amount payable hereunder
had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of
limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent, at
any time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other
Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set-off and to
appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including,
but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether
matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by
the Agent, or any affiliate of the Agent, to or for the credit or the account of
such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations,
although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor
agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant
may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to
its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such
Guarantor in the amount of such participation.
Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants
and agrees for the benefit of the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender
that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of
whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables
of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the "Junior Claims") shall be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then no Guarantor shall
accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities by setoff
or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any
Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid
in full.
Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor,
the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender that in any Proceeding, such
Guarantor's maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the
maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders
and the Swingline Lender) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such
Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without
limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the
"Bankruptcy Code") and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent
conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of
Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Applicable Laws under which
the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor
hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent, the Lenders
and the Swingline Lender) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are
referred to as the "Avoidance Provisions". Accordingly, to the extent that the
obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance
under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which
such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which,
as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been
incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent,
the Lenders and the Swingline Lender), to be subject to avoidance under the
Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of
the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender hereunder to the maximum extent
that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to
avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person
shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent, the
Lenders and the Swingline Lender that would not otherwise be available to such
Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and
the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of
nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent
of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that
none of the Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender shall have any duty
whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances
or risks.
Section 16. Governing Law. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA.
SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. (a) EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE
AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE SWINGLINE LENDER BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF,
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH GUARANTOR, THE
AGENT, ANY OF THE LENDERS OR THE SWINGLINE LENDER WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT
AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT. ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR, AND EACH OF THE
AGENT, THE LENDERS AND THE SWINGLINE LENDER BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH
AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST SUCH GUARANTOR ARISING OUT OF THIS
GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER CAUSE OR DISPUTE
WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG SUCH GUARANTOR, THE AGENT, ANY OF THE LENDERS OR THE
SWINGLINE LENDER OF ANY KIND OR NATURE.
(b) THE FOREGOING WAIVERS HAVE BEEN MADE WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND
WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE
THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER
THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Agent, each Lender and the Swingline
Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal,
interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied
Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding
amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise,
the entries in such books and accounts shall constitute prima facie evidence of
the outstanding amount of such Guarantied Obligations and the amounts paid and
payable with respect thereto. The failure of the Agent, any Lender or the
Swingline Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way
relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the
Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy
it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a
waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent, any Lender or
the Swingline Lender of any such right or remedy shall preclude other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.
Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until the earlier of (a) indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations
and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement and (b) the release
by the Agent of each Guarantor herefrom pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Credit
Agreement.
Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent,
the Lenders or the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to include such Person's
respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of
the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also
shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to
include such Guarantor's successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also
shall be binding. The Lenders and the Swingline Lender may, in accordance with
the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any
Guarantied Obligations, or grant or sell participation in any Guarantied
Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor
and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor's obligations
hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent, any
Lender or the Swingline Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any
prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information
regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its
obligations hereunder to any Person.
Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE
GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR
CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE "GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS"
AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS
HEREUNDER.
Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in writing
signed by the Agent and each Guarantor.
Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant
to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the
Agent at its Lending Office, not later than 11:00 a.m., on the date one Business
Day after demand therefor.
Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar
writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below
its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent, any Lender or the Swingline Lender at
its address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each
such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written
notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication
shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when
transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that
any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until
received.
Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.
Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.
