or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Loan Party
(or any other Person) before or as a condition to the performance of the

Credit Agreement with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries shall
occur and be continuing, all of the Obligations shall, as set forth in Article
-------

Obligations.
Section 2.3 Guaranty Absolute, Etc.

This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute,

force and effect until all Obligations have been paid in full in cash, all
obligations of the Guarantor hereunder have been paid in full in cash, all
Interest Rate Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party have been
terminated and all Commitments have been terminated. The Guarantor guarantees
that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document under which they arise. The
liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any Note, or any other Loan Document or any Interest Rate
Agreement;
(b) the failure of any Secured Party or any holder of any Note
(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or
remedy against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person
(including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the Credit
Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, any Interest Rate
Agreement or otherwise, or
(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor
of, or collateral securing, any of the Obligations;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other extension or
renewal of any Obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any of
the Obligations for any reason other than the written agreement of the
Secured Parties to terminate the Obligations in full, including any claim
of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be
subject to, and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of, any
defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by
reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence
affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or
otherwise;
3
(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of,
or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement,
any Note, any other Loan Document or any Interest Rate Agreement;
(f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of
any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or
consent to departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured Party or
any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations; or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other
Loan Party, any surety or any guarantor.
Section 2.4 Reinstatement, Etc.
------------------
The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or
be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in
part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by
any Secured Party or any holder of any Note upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made.
Section 2.5 Waiver, Indemnification, Etc.
----------------------------
The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and
any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and
any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party or any
holder of any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or
Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person (including any
other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations, as the
case may be. The Guarantor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party for any and all costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred in
enforcing any right under this Guaranty.
Section 2.6 Subordination.
-------------
Except as otherwise specifically provided in, or permitted by, this
Guaranty or the Credit Agreement, all existing and future indebtedness of, or
other obligations owed by, the Borrower to the Guarantor is hereby subordinated
to all obligations and liabilities hereby guaranteed. Without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, such subordinated indebtedness shall not be
paid or withdrawn in whole or in part, nor shall the Guarantor accept any
payment of or on account of any such indebtedness, after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement. Any
payment by the Borrower in violation of this Guaranty shall be received by the
Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent, and the Guarantor shall cause
the same to be paid to the Administrative Agent immediately upon demand by the
Administrative Agent on account of the Borrower's obligations and liabilities
hereby guaranteed. The Guarantor shall not assign all or any portion of such
indebtedness while this Guaranty remains in effect except upon prior written
notice to the Administrative Agent by which the
4
assignee of any such indebtedness agrees that the assignment is made subject to
the terms of this Guaranty, and that any attempted assignment of such
indebtedness in violation of the provisions hereof shall be void.
Section 2.7 Postponement of Subrogation.
---------------------------
The Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made
hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment in full in cash of all of the
Obligations, the termination of all Interest Rate Agreements to which any
Secured Party is a party and the termination of all Commitments. Any amount
paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the
payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Secured Parties and each holder of a Note and shall immediately
be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and
each holder of a Note and credited and applied against the Obligations of the
Borrower and each other Loan Party, whether matured or unmatured, such order as
the Administrative Agent shall elect; provided, however, that if
-------- -------
(a) the Guarantor has made payment to the Secured Parties and each
holder of a Note of all or any part of the Obligations, and
(b) all Obligations have been paid in full in cash, all Interest Rate
Agreements to which any Secured Party is a party have been terminated and
all Commitments have been permanently terminated,
then, at the Guarantor's request, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Secured Parties and the holders of the Notes, will 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 Obligations resulting from such payment by the Guarantor. In
furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligations or Commitments
remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or
commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or any
of its or their successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made
under this Guaranty to any Secured Party or any holder of a Note, except that
the Guarantor may file a proof of claim in a bankruptcy proceeding with respect
to the Borrower or any other Loan Party in connection with any obligations owed
by such Loan Party to the Guarantor in the event that the Administrative Agent
has failed to file a proof of claim on the Guarantor's behalf by the second
business day before the due date for such filing.
Section 2.8 Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Transfers of Notes,
--------------------------------------------------------
Etc.
---
This Guaranty shall:
(a) be binding upon the Guarantor, and the Guarantor's successors,
transferees and assigns; and
(b) be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and its successors and
assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties.
5
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Lender may
----------
assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Loan, Note or Commitment
held by it to any other Person or entity as permitted by, and in accordance with
the terms of, the Credit Agreement, and such other Person or entity shall
thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted
to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Guaranty) or otherwise,
subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer, and
to the provisions of Sections 9.1 and 9.16 of the Credit Agreement.
------------ ----
Section 2.9 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, Etc.
----------------------------------------
(a) All payments made by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made in
accordance with Section 2.7 of the Credit Agreement as if such Section were
-----------
incorporated herein substituting "Guarantor" in the place of "Borrower" in
each place it appears in that Section.
(b) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the
Guarantor hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantor
contained in this Section shall survive the payment in full in cash of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and all other Obligations.
