NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises
and of the mutual covenants herein contained, IGL agrees as

(excluding fees and expenses related thereto) covered by

$5,000,000.
(b) Capitalized terms used herein and not
otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to

time.
SECTION 1.02. The Guarantee. (a) Subject to the
provisions of Section 1.04, XXX xxxxx unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees as a primary obligor and not merely
as a surety the due and punctual payment when and as due
(whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, upon
acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. IGL agrees
that it shall pay on demand any of the Obligations for which
it is liable pursuant to this Guarantee which has remained
unpaid by the relevant Borrower for five Business Days after
such amount is due or demanded from the relevant Borrower;
provided that if an event referred to in Section 7.01(h) or
(i) of the Consolidated Credit Agreement has occurred with
respect to a Borrower, such amounts shall be payable on
demand by IGL; provided further, that if an event referred
to in Section 7.01(h) or (i) of the Consolidated Credit
Agreement has occurred with respect to a Borrower, IGL shall
have the right to pay all such amounts to the Administrative
Agent without the necessity of any such demand. The
obligations of IGL under this Guarantee shall be a guarantee
of payment and not of collection. Upon payment by IGL of
any sums to a Lender or an Agent as provided above in this
Guarantee, IGL shall be subrogated to the rights of such
Lender or Agent, as applicable, against such Borrower with
respect to such payment; provided that all rights of IGL
against a Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of
right of subrogation or otherwise shall in all respects be
subordinated and junior in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of all the Obligations to the Lenders and
the Agents and shall not be exercised by IGL prior to
payment in full of all Obligations and termination of the
Commitments. If any amount (other than any fees payable to
IGL in respect of its guarantee hereunder) shall be paid to
IGL on account of any amount paid by IGL pursuant to this
Guarantee or otherwise at any time when all the Obligations
shall not be paid in full and a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, such amount shall be
held in trust by IGL for the benefit of the Agents and the
Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative
Agent to be credited and applied to the Obligations, whether
matured or unmatured. At such time as all Obligations owing
to each Lender have been paid in full and its Commitment
terminated, each Lender shall, in a reasonable manner,
assign (subject to the continued effectiveness and the
reinstatement provided for above) the amount of the
Obligations owed to it and paid by IGL pursuant to this
Guarantee to IGL, such assignment to be pro tanto to the
extent to which the Obligations in question were discharged
by IGL, or make such other disposition thereof as IGL shall
reasonably direct (all without any representation or
warranty by, or any recourse to, such Lender).
SECTION 1.03. Guarantee Unconditional. Subject
to the provisions of Section 1.04 and the Consolidated
Credit Agreement, the obligations of IGL hereunder shall be
unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, shall not be released,
discharged or otherwise affected by:
(i) any rescission, extension, renewal,
settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of
any obligation of either Borrower under the
Consolidated Credit Agreement, by operation of law or
otherwise;
(ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement
to the Consolidated Credit Agreement; provided that any
such modification, amendment or supplement which
increases the obligations of IGL hereunder shall not be
effective as to IGL without its consent.
(iii) any guarantee or any release, impairment,
non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of either Borrower under
the Consolidated Credit Agreement;
(iv) any change in the corporate existence,
structure or ownership of either Borrower, or any
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar
proceeding affecting either Borrower or their
respective assets, or any resulting release or
discharge of any obligation of either Borrower
contained in the Consolidated Credit Agreement;
(v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other
rights that IGL may have at any time against either
Borrower, any Agent, any Lender or any other
corporation or person, whether in connection herewith
or any unrelated transactions (including, without
limitation, any default in the payment by either
Borrower, or any other person of any fees payable to
IGL in respect of its guarantee hereunder); provided
that, subject to any subordination agreements relating
to any such claims, nothing herein shall prevent the
assertion of any such claim by separate suit or
compulsory counterclaim;
(vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to
or against either Borrower for any reason of the
Consolidated Credit Agreement, or any provision of
applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the
payment by either Borrower of the Obligations or any
other amount payable by either Borrower under the
Consolidated Credit Agreement;
(vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of
any kind by either Borrower, any beneficiary of this
Guarantee, or any other corporation or person, or any
other circumstance whatsoever, that might, but for the
provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or
equitable discharge of or defense to IGL's obligations
hereunder or to the Obligations;
(viii) any failure of any beneficiary of this
Guarantee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce
any right or remedy against either Borrower under the
provisions of the Consolidated Credit Agreement, any
other security document, any intercreditor document or
any other loan document; or
(ix) any failure of any beneficiary of this
Guarantee to exercise any right or remedy against any
other guarantor (including any subsidiary) of the
Obligations.
SECTION 1.04. Reduction of Principal Amounts
Covered by Guarantee. Pursuant to Section 2.07(c) of the
Consolidated Credit Agreement, the aggregate of the
Commitments under the Tranches shall be automatically and
permanently reduced, ratably among the Lenders in accordance
with the amounts of their respective Commitments under the
Tranches as set forth therein. Subject to the provisions of
Section 1.05, the aggregate principal amount of the Loans,
and reimbursement obligations (including cash
collateralization obligations) in respect of Letters of
Credit (collectively, "Principal Obligations"), covered by
the guarantee obligations of IGL hereunder and in respect of
which demands for payment may be made under this Guarantee
shall, during each of the periods set forth below (each, a
"Coverage Period"), be limited to the maximum aggregate
amounts set forth below opposite such Coverage Period:
Aggregate
Coverage Period Principal Amount
Through February 14,
1999
$50,000,000 $35,000,00
From February 15,
1999 through
February 14, 2000
From $15,000,00
February 15, 2000
through January, 31
2001
After $0
January 31, 2001
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Guarantee (i) shall remain in full force and effect at all
times after a Coverage Period in an amount equal to the
amount set forth opposite such Coverage Period above with
respect to accrued and unpaid Principal Obligations in
respect of which demand for payment under this Guarantee was
duly made on IGL during such Coverage Period; provided that
the aggregate liability of IGL under this Guarantee in
respect of payment of Principal Obligations shall not in any
event exceed $50,000,000 and (ii) shall cover the full
amount of any interest accrued and unpaid on Principal
Obligations in respect of which a demand for payment is or
could (assuming such amount were due and unpaid) be made on
IGL under this Guarantee on or before January 31, 2001
(except as provided in Section 1.05). In addition,
notwithstanding the foregoing, all Obligations of the
Borrowers for payment of amounts other than principal of and
interest on the Loans (including, without limitation, in
respect of indemnities, reimbursement of costs, yield
protection, redeployment costs, tax gross-ups and reasonable
expenses) shall be covered by IGL's guarantee hereunder
without limitation, except to the extent any such payment
obligation is attributable solely to a Principal Obligation,
or interest on a Principal Obligation which, pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, is not at the time covered by IGL's
guarantee hereunder. During any Coverage Period, claims may
be made on IGL hereunder in respect of any and all Principal
Obligations not paid when due up to the full aggregate
amount of Principal Obligations set forth opposite such
Coverage Period in the table above, notwithstanding that
(i) the aggregate amount of Principal Obligations under the
Consolidated Credit Agreement may exceed the amount set
forth in such table or (ii) only a portion of the Principal
Obligations are at the time due and unpaid; provided,
however, that the aggregate liability of IGL under this
Guarantee in respect of Principal Obligations shall not in
any event exceed $50,000,000.
SECTION 1.05. Discharge only upon
Payment in Full. Subject to the provisions of Section 1.04,
IGL's obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and
effect until the earliest of the date on which (x) the
commitments under the Consolidated Credit Agreement shall
have terminated and the Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations) shall have been paid in full,
(y) payment has been made hereunder or (z) Chase or its
Affiliates shall reduce their respective Commitments and/or
sell participations in outstanding Loans such that their
aggregate Commitments then outstanding under the
Consolidated Credit Agreement as of such date shall be less
than 25% of the total Commitments then outstanding as of
such date. If at any time any Obligation is rescinded or
must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower or
otherwise, IGL's obligations hereunder with respect to such
payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been
due but not made at the time initially paid and if a demand
for payment under this Guarantee could have been made in
respect of such Obligation on such initial payment date or
on any date thereafter in accordance with the provisions of
Section 1.04 (assuming nonpayment of such Obligation when
due on such initial payment date) then demand for payment
may be made hereunder in respect of such Obligation
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.04.
SECTION 1.06. Waiver by IGL. Except to
the extent set forth in Section 1.02 and as provided in the
Consolidated Credit Agreement, IGL irrevocably waives
acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest, notice of
intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and any notice
not provided for herein or in the Consolidated Credit
Agreement, as well as any requirement that at any time any
action be taken by any beneficiary of this Guarantee,
corporation or person against either Borrower, any other
guarantor or any other entity or person.
SECTION 1.07. Stay of Acceleration. If
acceleration of the time for payment of any Obligation or
any other amount payable by either Borrower under the
Consolidated Credit Agreement is stayed upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of either Borrower, all such
amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of
the Consolidated Credit Agreement shall nonetheless be
payable by IGL hereunder as if no such stay was in effect.
ARTICLE II

Warranties. (a) As of the date hereof and each other date
