GUARANTEE

Section 2.01. Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “Guarantee”), jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, to the Trustee, each Holder of a Guaranteed Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and each of their successors, transferees and assigns, the performance and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all payment obligations of the Company in respect of the Guaranteed Notes (pursuant to the terms thereof and of the Indenture), whether for payment of (w) principal of, or premium, if any, interest or additional interest on the Guaranteed Notes, (x) expenses, (y) indemnification or (z) otherwise (all such obligations guaranteed by such Guarantors, the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms thereof, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its Guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligations.

(b) Except as provided in Section 3.13, with respect to each Guarantor, no payment made by any other Guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Trustee or from any other Guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of such Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations), remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full.

(c) Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its Guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection.

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Company or any other Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Company or any other Guarantor, other than the payment in full of all the Guaranteed Obligations or termination or release of the Guarantor’s obligations pursuant to Section 3.13 hereof.

Section 2.02. Maximum Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee, the Trustee and each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for the purposes of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended, or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guarantee and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee and each Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement shall be limited to the maximum amount that can hereby be guaranteed without rendering the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guarantee Agreement voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

Section 2.03. Execution and Delivery of Guarantee. To evidence its Guarantee set forth in this Guarantee Agreement, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form attached as Annex 3 hereto shall be endorsed by an Officer of such Guarantor on each Guaranteed Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Guarantee Agreement shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by one of its Officers. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Guarantee

Agreement shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Guaranteed Note a notation of such Guarantee. If an Officer whose signature is on this Guarantee Agreement or on any notation of any Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Guaranteed Note on which a Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless. The delivery of any Guaranteed Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof, shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Guarantee Agreement on behalf of the Guarantors.

Section 2.04. Covenants of the Guarantors.

With the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Guaranteed Notes (voting as one class), the Company, the Guarantors, and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an amendment to this Guarantee Agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Guarantee Agreement or modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of Guaranteed Notes hereunder (x) with respect to the covenants set forth in Section 2.04 and the definitions of defined terms used therein and (y) with respect to any other term; provided that without the consent of the holder of each Guaranteed Note, no such amendment pursuant to this clause (y) shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, modify the Guarantee or the Guarantee Agreement in any way adverse to the Holders.

In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Guarantee Notes have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Guarantee Agreement, Guaranteed Notes which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Guaranteed Notes, or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Guaranteed Notes, shall be

disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Guaranteed Notes which a responsible officer of the Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Guaranteed Notes so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such Guaranteed Notes and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

The Company may from time to time issue “Additional Notes”, as defined in and issued pursuant to the terms of, any Guaranteed Note. In connection with such issuance, the Company may from time to time furnish to the Trustee an updated Schedule 1 for the purpose of adding “Additional Notes”, which Additional Notes shall be Guaranteed Notes for all purposes hereunder.

Section 3.03. No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 3.01), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default or event of default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Trustee or any Holder of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Trustee or any Holder would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

Section 3.04. Successors and Assigns.

Any provision of this Guarantee Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
