Execution Version
THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty Agreement”), dated as of March 10, 2008, among
EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED AND EACH OTHER PERSON WHO SHALL BECOME A PARTY HERETO BY EXECUTION OF A
GUARANTY JOINDER AGREEMENT (each a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”)
and BANK OF AMERICA, N.A., a national banking association organized and existing under the laws of
the United States, as administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”)
for each of the Benefited Parties. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, the Benefited Parties have agreed to provide to Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx XX, a Delaware
limited partnership (the “Borrower”), certain credit facilities, including a secured
revolving credit facility with a letter of credit and swing line sublimit pursuant to the terms of
that certain Credit Agreement dated as of March 10, 2008, among the Borrower, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx Inc.,
a Maryland corporation (“CSI”), as a guarantor, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
(as from time to time amended, revised, modified, supplemented or amended and restated, the
“Credit Agreement”); and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is, directly or indirectly, a Material Subsidiary, a general partner
or a limited partner of the Borrower and will materially benefit from the Loans made and to be
made, and the Letters of Credit issued and to be issued, under the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, each Guarantor is required to enter into this Guaranty Agreement pursuant to the
terms of the Credit Agreement; and
WHEREAS, a material part of the consideration given in connection with and as an inducement to
the execution and delivery of the Credit Agreement by the Benefited Parties party thereto was the
obligation of CSI to cause each Guarantor to enter into this Guaranty Agreement, and the Benefited
Parties are unwilling to extend and maintain the credit facilities provided under the Loan
Documents unless the Guarantors enter into this Guaranty Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally,
absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of
the Benefited Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined
below). For all purposes of this Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means: (a)
the Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all
Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all
other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due
or payable from the Borrower to any one or more of the Benefited Parties, including principal,
interest, premiums and fees (including, but not limited to, loan fees and reasonable fees, charges
and disbursements of counsel (“Attorney Costs”); (b) the Borrower’s prompt, full and
faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant
and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement,
the Notes and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the prompt payment in full by each Loan Party, when
due or declared due and at all such times, of obligations and liabilities now or hereafter arising
under Related Swap Contracts (as defined below). The Guarantors’ obligations to the Benefited
Parties under this Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Guarantor individually, the
“Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Material
Subsidiary of the Borrower individually with respect to its Guarantor’s Obligations shall be
limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations
hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any
comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
Each Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject
to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the Guaranteed Liabilities.
2. Payment. If the Borrower shall default in payment or performance of any of the
Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, premium, fee (including, but not limited to,
loan fees and Attorney Costs), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after
expiration of any applicable notice, grace and cure periods, whether according to the terms of the
Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Guarantors will, upon
demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Benefited Parties, subject to any restriction on each Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in
Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing.
3. Absolute Rights and Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection. The Guarantors’ Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several,
absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the
extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement by reason of:
(a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, of any of
the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating,
providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Guarantors’ Obligations, any of
the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities (the
Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to
as the “Related Agreements”);
(b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or
power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or
any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;
2
(c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, of the
Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities
of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration
in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, for any of
the Guarantor’s Obligations of any Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of
any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(e) any dissolution of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related
Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other
party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of
any assets of the Borrower or any Guarantor or any other party to a Related Agreement;
(f) any extension (including, without limitation, extensions of time for payment),
renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial
payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities
available under, the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any
other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;
(g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of
value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities
(including, without limitation, the Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Guarantor and
obligations arising under any other Guaranty now or hereafter in effect);
(h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in
or departure from any term or provision contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other Related Agreement, including, without limitation, any term pertaining
to the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, any of the Guarantor’s
Obligations of any other Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to
any other Related Agreement;
(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any
Guarantor) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such
Guarantor, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or
discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including, without limitation, any right to require
or claim that resort be had to the Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in
respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantors’ Obligations, other than repayment in
full of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Guarantors’ Obligations.
It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Guaranty Agreement and the
Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder, and, as to additional Guarantors acceding to this Guaranty
Agreement after the date hereof, under the applicable Guaranty Joinder Agreement, shall be
3
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by
payment as herein provided.
4. Currency and Funds of Payment. All Guarantors’ Obligations will be paid in lawful
currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, subject to any law,
regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed
Liabilities, or the rights of any Benefited Party with respect thereto as against the Borrower, or
cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by the
Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities.
5. Events of Default. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in
the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any
collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities, at the
Administrative Agent’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, the Guarantors’
Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable.
6. Subordination. Until this Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with
Section 22 hereof, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and
future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Guarantor (i) of the
Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities, (ii) of every other Guarantor (an
“obligated guarantor”), to the payment in full of the Guarantor’s Obligations of such obligated
guarantor, and (iii) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the
payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Benefited Party and arising
under the Loan Documents or the Related Swap Contracts. All amounts then due under such
subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the Administrative Agent,
paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Benefited Parties on account
of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Guarantors’ Obligations, or such other obligations, as
applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Guarantor as
agent and bailee of the Benefited Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and
accounts of such Guarantor.
7. Suits. Each Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for
the benefit of the Benefited Parties, on demand, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or such other
address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to such Guarantor, the Guarantors’
Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made
forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the
Guarantors. At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits
may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against any one or more or all of the Guarantors,
whether or not suit has been commenced against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any other
Person and whether or not the Benefited Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to
collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any
actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the
Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in
Section 3 hereof.
4
8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Guarantor waives any right to assert against any
Benefited Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its
Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Guarantor may
now or at any time hereafter have against the Borrower or any or all of the Benefited Parties
without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise
available to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that each Benefited Party and each of its
Affiliates shall have a lien for all the Guarantor’s Obligations upon all deposits or deposit
accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter
pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Benefited Party or such Affiliate or otherwise
in the possession or control of such Benefited Party or such Affiliate for any purpose (other than
solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of such Guarantor, including any balance of any
deposit account or of any credit of such Guarantor with such Benefited Party or such Affiliate,
whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby authorizes each Benefited Party and each
of its Affiliates from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times with or
without prior notice to apply such balances or any part thereof to such of the Guarantor’s
Obligations to the Benefited Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit
Agreement or otherwise as they may elect. For the purposes of this Section 8, all
remittances and property shall be deemed to be in the possession of a Benefited Party or its
Affiliate as soon as the same may be put in transit to it by mail or carrier or by other bailee.
9. Waiver of Notice; Subrogation.
(a) Each Guarantor hereby waives to the extent permitted by law notice of the following
events or occurrences: (i) acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement; (ii) the Lenders’
heretofore, now or from time to time hereafter making Loans and issuing Letters of Credit
and otherwise loaning monies or giving or extending credit to or for the benefit of the
Borrower or any other Loan Party, or otherwise entering into arrangements with any Loan
Party giving rise to Guaranteed Liabilities, whether pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the
Notes or any other Loan Document or Related Agreement or any amendments, modifications, or
supplements thereto, or replacements or extensions thereof; (iii) presentment, demand,
default, non-payment, partial payment and protest; and (iv) any other event, condition, or
occurrence described in Section 3 hereof. Each Guarantor agrees that each Benefited
Party may heretofore, now or at any time hereafter do any or all of the foregoing in such
manner, upon such terms and at such times as each Benefited Party, in its sole and absolute
discretion, deems advisable, without in any way or respect impairing, affecting, reducing or
releasing such Guarantor from its Guarantor’s Obligations, and each Guarantor hereby
consents to each and all of the foregoing events or occurrences.
(b) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that payment or performance by such Guarantor of its
Guarantor’s Obligations under this Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Benefited Parties upon demand by the Administrative Agent to such
Guarantor without the Administrative Agent being required, such Guarantor expressly waiving
to the extent permitted by law any right it may have to require the Administrative Agent, to
(i) prosecute collection or seek to enforce or resort to any remedies against the Borrower
or any other Guarantor or any
5
other guarantor of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or (ii) seek to enforce or resort to any
remedies with respect to any security interests, Liens or encumbrances granted to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or other party to a Related Agreement by the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities or any
guaranty thereof, IT BEING EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD, ACKNOWLEDGED AND AGREED TO BY SUCH
GUARANTOR THAT DEMAND UNDER THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT MAY BE MADE BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,
AND THE PROVISIONS HEREOF ENFORCED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EFFECTIVE AS OF THE FIRST
DATE ANY EVENT OF DEFAULT OCCURS AND IS CONTINUING UNDER THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.
(c) Each Guarantor further agrees with respect to this Guaranty Agreement that it shall
have no right of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, nor any right of
recourse to security for the Guaranteed Liabilities unless and until 93 days immediately
following the Facility Termination Date shall have elapsed without the filing or
commencement, by or against any Loan Party, of any state or federal action, suit, petition
or proceeding seeking any reorganization, liquidation or other relief or arrangement in
respect of creditors of, or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, trustee or
conservator in respect to, such Loan Party or its assets. This waiver is expressly intended
to prevent the existence of any claim in respect to such subrogation, reimbursement,
contribution or indemnity by any Guarantor against the estate of any other Loan Party within
the meaning of Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, in the event of a
subsequent case involving any other Loan Party. If an amount shall be paid to any Guarantor
on account of such rights at any time prior to termination of this Guaranty Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of Section 22 hereof, such amount shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Benefited Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Parties, to be credited and applied
upon the Guarantors’ Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement or otherwise as the Benefited Parties may elect. The agreements in
this subsection shall survive repayment of all of the Guarantors’ Obligations, the
termination or expiration of this Guaranty Agreement in any manner, including, but not
limited to, termination in accordance with Section 22 hereof, and occurrence of the
Facility Termination Date.
10. Effectiveness; Enforceability. This Guaranty Agreement shall be effective as of
the date first above written and shall continue in full force and effect until termination in
accordance with Section 22 hereof. Any claim or claims that the Benefited Parties may at
any time hereafter have against a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement may be asserted by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Benefited Parties by written notice directed to such
Guarantor in accordance with Section 24 hereof.
11. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor warrants and represents to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Parties, that it is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Guaranty Agreement (or the Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which it is
6
a party, as applicable), and to perform its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement, that
this Guaranty Agreement (or the Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable)
has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Guarantor by its duly authorized
representatives; that this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which such
Guarantor is a party) is legal, valid, binding and enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance
with its terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
equitable principles; and that such Guarantor’s execution, delivery and performance of this
Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty Joinder Agreement to which such Guarantor is a party) do not
violate or constitute a breach of any of its Organization Documents, any agreement or instrument to
which such Guarantor is a party, or any law, order, regulation, decree or award of any governmental
authority or arbitral body to which it or its properties or operations is subject.
12. Expenses. Each Guarantor agrees to be jointly and severally liable for the
payment of all reasonable fees and expenses, including Attorney Costs, incurred by any Benefited
Party in connection with the enforcement of this Guaranty Agreement, whether or not suit be
brought.
13. Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty Agreement shall continue
to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, at any time payment received by any Benefited
Party in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must be restored for any reason, or
is repaid by any Benefited Party in whole or in part in good faith settlement of any pending or
threatened avoidance claim.
14. Attorney-in-Fact. To the extent permitted by law, each Guarantor hereby appoints
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Benefited Parties, as such Guarantor’s
attorney-in-fact for the purposes of carrying out the provisions of this Guaranty Agreement and
taking any action and executing any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable; provided, that the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise rights
under this power of attorney only upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default.
15. Reliance. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, for
the benefit of the Benefited Parties, that: (a) such Guarantor has adequate means to obtain on a
continuing basis (i) from the Borrower or CSI, information concerning the Loan Parties and the Loan
Parties’ financial condition and affairs, and (ii) from other reliable sources, such other
information as it deems material in deciding to provide this Guaranty Agreement and any Guaranty
Joinder Agreement (“Other Information”), and has full and complete access to the Loan
Parties’ books and records and to such Other Information; (b) such Guarantor is not relying on any
Benefited Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or

furnished with and reviewed the terms of the Credit Agreement and such other Loan Documents and
Related Agreements as it has requested, is executing this Guaranty Agreement (or the Guaranty
Joinder Agreement to which it is a party, as applicable) freely and deliberately, and

of the same; and (e) such Guarantor has not depended or relied on any Benefited Party or its or
their employees, directors, agents or other representatives or Affiliates, for any information
whatsoever concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs or any other
matters material to such Guarantor’s decision to provide this Guaranty Agreement (and any Guaranty
Joinder Agreement), or for any counseling, guidance, or special consideration or any promise
therefor with respect to such decision. Each Guarantor agrees that no Benefited Party has any duty
or responsibility whatsoever, now or in the future, to provide to such Guarantor any information
concerning the Borrower or the Borrower’s financial condition and affairs, or any Other
Information, other than as expressly provided herein, and that, if such Guarantor receives any such
information from any Benefited Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other
representatives or Affiliates, such Guarantor will independently verify the information and will
not rely on any Benefited Party or its or their employees, directors, agents or other
representatives or Affiliates, with respect to such information.
16. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation contained in Article I of
the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement and each Guaranty Joinder
Agreement and are hereby incorporated by reference. All representations and warranties contained
herein shall survive the delivery of documents and any extension of credit referred to herein or
guaranteed hereby.
17. Entire Agreement. This Guaranty Agreement and each Guaranty Joinder Agreement,
together with the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, constitutes and expresses the
entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements, understandings, inducements, commitments or
conditions, express or implied, oral or written, except as herein or therein contained. The
express terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance or usage of the trade
inconsistent with any of the terms hereof. Except as provided in Section 22, neither this
Guaranty Agreement nor any Guaranty Joinder Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof or
thereof may be changed, altered, modified, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated, or
amended orally or in any manner other than as provided in the Credit Agreement.
18. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Guaranty Agreement, each Guaranty Joinder
Agreement and the terms, covenants and conditions hereof and thereof, shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto, and to their respective heirs, legal
representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall
be permitted to assign any of its rights, powers, duties or obligations under this Guaranty
Agreement, any Guaranty Joinder Agreement or any other interest herein or therein without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing
sentence of this Section 18, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons, or grant to one
or more Persons participations in or to, all or any part of its rights and obligations under the
Credit Agreement (to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement); and to the extent of any such
8
assignment or participation such other Person shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or
otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including Article X thereof
(concerning the Administrative Agent) and Section 11.06 thereof concerning assignments and
participations. All references herein to the Administrative Agent shall include any successor
thereof.
19. Related Swap Contracts. All obligations of any Loan Party under Related Swap
Contracts to which any Lender or its Affiliates are a party shall be deemed to be Guaranteed
Liabilities, and each Lender or Affiliate of a Lender party to any such Related Swap Contract shall
be deemed to be a Benefited Party hereunder with respect to such Guaranteed Liabilities;
provided, however, that such obligations shall cease to be Guaranteed Liabilities
at such time, prior to the Facility Termination Date, as such Person (or Affiliate of such Person)
shall cease to be a “Lender” under the Credit Agreement.
No Person who obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement by virtue of the provisions of
this Section shall have, prior to the Facility Termination Date, any right to notice of any action
or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or
otherwise in respect of the Guarantors’ Obligations (including the release or modification of any
Guarantors’ Obligations or security therefor) other than in its capacity as a Lender and only to
the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Each Benefited Party not a party to the
Credit Agreement who obtains the benefit of this Guaranty Agreement by virtue of the provisions of
this Section shall be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the
Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, and that with respect to the
actions and omissions of the Administrative Agent hereunder or otherwise relating hereto that do or
may affect such Benefited Party, the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties shall be
entitled to all the rights, benefits and immunities conferred under Article X of the Credit
Agreement.
20. Severability. The provisions of this Guaranty Agreement are independent of and
separable from each other. If any provision hereof shall for any reason be held invalid or
unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability
of any other provision hereof, but this Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as if such invalid or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.
21. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and it shall
not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty Agreement to produce or account for more than one
such counterpart executed by the Guarantors against whom enforcement is sought. Without limiting
the foregoing provisions of this Section 21, the provisions of Section 11.10 of the Credit
Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement.
22. Termination. Subject to reinstatement pursuant to Section 13 hereof, this
Guaranty Agreement and each Guaranty Joinder Agreement, and all of the Guarantors’ Obligations
hereunder (excluding those Guarantors’ Obligations relating to Guaranteed
9
Liabilities that expressly survive such termination) shall terminate on the Facility Termination
Date.
23. Remedies Cumulative; Late Payments. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any other rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any other Benefited
Party provided by law or under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or other applicable
agreements or instruments. The making of the Loans and other credit extensions pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and other Related Agreements shall be conclusively presumed to have been made or
extended, respectively, in reliance upon each Guarantor’s guaranty of the Guaranteed Liabilities
pursuant to the terms hereof. Any amounts not paid when due under this Guaranty Agreement shall
bear interest at the Default Rate.
24. Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder or under any Guaranty Joinder
Agreement shall be given, (a) with respect to each Guarantor, at the address of the Borrower or CSI
indicated in Schedule 11.02 of the Credit Agreement, and (b) with respect to the Administrative
Agent or any other Benefited Party, at the Administrative Agent’s address indicated in Schedule
11.02 of the Credit Agreement. All such addresses may be modified, and all such notices shall be
given and shall be effective, as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement for the giving
and effectiveness of notices and modifications of addresses thereunder.
25. Joinder. Each Person who shall at any time execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Guaranty Joinder Agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit
A hereto shall thereupon irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally become a party hereto and

26. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
(b) SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT
FROM ANY THEREOF, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY
AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT
10
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT
A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN
OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING
IN THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY
BENEFITED PARTY MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS
GUARANTY AGREEMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY
JURISDICTION.
(c) WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER
HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
GUARANTY AGREEMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SECTION. EACH
OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.
(d) SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO SERVICE OF
PROCESS IN THE MANNER PROVIDED FOR NOTICES IN SECTION 24. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY

FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED,
EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO
ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN
INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND
CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
11
28. Waiver of Appraisal Rights. The laws of South Carolina provide that in any real
estate foreclosure proceeding a defendant against whom a personal judgment is taken or asked may
within thirty days after the sale of the Property apply to the court for an order of appraisal.
The statutory appraisal value as approved by the court would be substituted for the high bid and
may decrease the amount of any deficiency owing in connection with the transaction. THE
UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES AND RELINQUISHES THE STATUTORY APPRAISAL RIGHTS WHICH MEANS THE
