2. Guarantee. (a) Subject to this Guarantee, each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly
and severally, unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of the Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuer hereunder or
thereunder, that:
(1) the principal of and interest on, and premium, Additional Amounts and Liquidated
Damages, if any, on the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity,
by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and
interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Issuer to the
Holders or the Trustee hereunder or under the Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid
in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and
(2) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such
other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in
accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise.
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for
whatever reason, the Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same
immediately. Each Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of
collection.
(b) The Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the
absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of
2
the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment
against the Issuer, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Guarantor hereby waives
diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency
or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest,
notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by
complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and the Indenture. The Guarantors
obligations hereunder survive termination of the Indenture and the resignation or removal of the
Trustee.
(c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the
Issuer, the Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in
relation to either the Issuer or the Guarantors, any amount paid by any of them to the Trustee or
such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force
and effect.
(d) Each Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation
to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all
obligations guaranteed hereby. If any Guarantor has made a payment pursuant to this Guarantee and
all of the obligations guaranteed hereby have been paid in full then such Guarantor shall have a
right of subrogation in relation to the Holders to the extent of the pro rata payment so made by
such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand,
and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed
hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6.02 of the Indenture for the purposes of this
Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration
in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of
acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6.02 of the Indenture such obligations
(whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the
purpose of this Guarantee. The Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any
non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the
Holders or the Trustee under this Guarantee.
(e) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed
the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder without impairing this Guarantee or
affecting the rights of the Trustee or any Holder hereunder.
(f) No payment or payments made by any of the Issuer, the other Guarantors, any other
guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Trustee or any Holder from any
Issuer, the other Guarantors, 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 Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such
payment or payments other than payments made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or
payments received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations, remain liable for
the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are
paid in full or the release of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 7 hereof.
3
(g) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any
payment to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder on account of its liability hereunder,
it will notify the Trustee in writing in advance that such payment is made under this Guarantee for
such purpose, and shall inform the Trustee of the amount of the payment and the date wire payment
will be made.
3. Form of Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that evidence of its Guarantee
substantially in the appropriate form for such Guarantor attached as Exhibit B will be endorsed by
an Officer of such Guarantor and affixed to each Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in this Guarantee will remain in full
force and effect notwithstanding any failure to affix to each Note such evidence of Guarantee. If
an Officer whose signature is on this Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee
authenticates the Note on which the evidence of such Guarantee is affixed, the Guarantee will be
valid nevertheless.
4. Limitation on Guarantor Liability. Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes,
each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee of
such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law,
the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal
or state law to the extent applicable to any Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Trustee, the Holders and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such
Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum
amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under
such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or
payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other
Guarantor under this Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not
constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
5. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights. Each Guarantor
shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against
any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of
any of the Obligations made by the Trustee or any Holder may be rescinded by such party and any of
the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other party upon or for any
part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or
the Holders pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture and the Notes, this Guarantee, the Pledge
of Intercompany Note or other guarantee or document in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, pursuant to the provisions of the
Indenture, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the
Trustee or the Collateral Agent for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations
or for this Guarantee or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against
any particular Guarantor, the Trustee or, subject to Sections 6.06 and 6.07 of the Indenture, any
Holder may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any other Guarantor or
guarantor, and any
4
failure by the Trustee or, subject to Sections 6.06 and 6.07 of the Indenture, such Holder to
make any such demand or to collect any payments from any such other Guarantor or guarantor or any
release of any such other Guarantor or guarantor shall not relieve such Guarantor in respect of
which a demand or collection is not made or any of the Guarantors not so released of their several
obligations or liabilities hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
express or implied, or as a matter of law, of the Trustee or any Holder against any of the
Guarantors. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.
6. Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms. (a) The Parent Guarantor will
not, directly or indirectly sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its properties or assets in one or more related transactions to, or
consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not the Parent Guarantor is the surviving Person)
another Person, unless:
(1) either: (a) the Parent Guarantor is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person
formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Parent Guarantor)
or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made
is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the Cayman Islands, the European
Union, Singapore, the United States, any state of the United States or the District of
Columbia;
(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than
the Parent Guarantor) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or
other disposition has been made assumes all the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under
the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantee, the Registration Rights Agreement and the
Subordination Agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee; and
(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists;
(b) Except as otherwise provided in Section 7 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary will, and the Issuer will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor that is a
Significant Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another
Person (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell,
assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or
assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor in one or more related transactions, to another Person, unless:
(1) either: (a) such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving corporation; or (b) the
Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than such
Subsidiary Guarantor) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other
disposition has been made is a corporation organized or existing under the laws of the
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxx, Singapore, the United States, any state of the United

Subsidiary Guarantor under the Notes, the Indenture, the Guarantee, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Subordination Agreement and the Pledge of Intercompany Note pursuant to
agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee;
(3) immediately after such transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
(4) with respect to the consolidation, or merger of, or the sale, assignment, transfer,
conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of a
Subsidiary Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary, the Issuer would, on the date of such
transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as
if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, be
permitted to incur at least US$1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to Section 4.09 of
the Indenture;
provided, however that the provisions of this Section 6 shall not apply if such Subsidiary
Guarantor is released from its Guarantee pursuant to Section 7 hereof as a result of such
consolidation, merger, sale or other disposition.
(c) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by
the successor Person, by agreements, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form
to the Trustee, of this Guarantee endorsed upon the Notes and the due and punctual performance of
all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Guarantor, such
successor Person will succeed to and be substituted for the Guarantor with the same effect as if it
had been named herein as a Guarantor. Such successor Person thereupon may cause to be signed any
or all of the Note Guarantees to be endorsed upon all of the Notes issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Issuer and delivered to the Trustee. All the Note
Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under the Indenture
as the Note Guarantees theretofore and thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture as though all of such Note Guarantees had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.
Except as set forth in Articles 4 and 5 of the Indenture, and notwithstanding clauses (a) and
(b) above, nothing contained in the Indenture, the Guarantee or in any of the Notes will prevent
(1) a merger of the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, with an Affiliate solely for the
purpose of reincorporating or reorganizing the Issuer or a Guarantor, as the case may be, in
another jurisdiction, provided such jurisdiction is a jurisdiction listed in Section 6(b)(1)
hereof, or (2) any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, lease or
other disposition of assets between or among the Issuer and the Guarantors or between or among the
Guarantors.

substantially all of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor, by way of merger, consolidation or
otherwise, or a sale or other disposition of all of the Capital Stock of any Subsidiary Guarantor,
in each case to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transactions)
the Issuer or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Issuer, then such Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event
of a sale or other disposition, by way of merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all of the Capital
6
Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor) or the corporation acquiring the property (in the event of
a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor)

Proceeds of such sale or other disposition are applied in accordance with the applicable provisions
of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture.
(b) Upon designation of any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary Guarantor as an
Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture (which shall include written
notice to the Trustee), such Subsidiary Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations
under its Guarantee.

of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in this Guarantee.
Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made by the Issuer in accordance with
the provisions of the Indenture, including without limitation Section 4.10 of the Indenture, the
Trustee will execute such documents as are reasonably required in order to evidence the release of
any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.
8. Subordination. (a) Each Subsidiary Group Guarantor agrees, and each Holder by
accepting a Note agrees, that the Obligations of each Subsidiary Group Guarantor hereunder will be
subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 8, to
the prior payment in full in cash of all Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness, and that the
subordination is for the benefit of the holders of the Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness.
(b) Upon any distribution to creditors of a Subsidiary Group Guarantor in a liquidation or
dissolution of such Subsidiary Group Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Group Guarantor or its property, in
an assignment for the benefit of creditors of such Subsidiary Group Guarantor, or any marshaling of
such Subsidiary Group Guarantor’s assets and liabilities (or equivalent proceeding under relevant
local law, if any):
(1) holders of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness will be entitled to receive
payment in full of all Obligations due in respect of such Guarantee Designated Senior
Indebtedness (including interest after the commencement of any bankruptcy proceeding at the
rate specified in the applicable Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness) before the
Holders of Notes will be entitled to receive any payment with respect to a Guarantee
provided by a Subsidiary Group Guarantor (except that Holders of Notes may receive and
retain payments made from any defeasance trust created pursuant
7
to Section 8.01 of the Indenture to the extent such trusts have been funded otherwise
than by the Subsidiary Group Guarantors); and
(2) until all Obligations with respect to Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness (as
provided in clause (1) above) are paid in full, any distribution to which Holders would be
entitled but for this Section 8 will be made to holders of Guarantee Designated Senior
Indebtedness (except that Holders of Notes may receive and retain payments made from any
defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture to the extent such trusts
have been funded otherwise than by the Subsidiary Group Guarantors), as their interests may
appear.
(c) In the event that the Trustee or any Holder receives any payment of any Obligations with
respect to this Guarantee of a Subsidiary Group Guarantor (other than payments made from any
defeasance trust created pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Indenture to the extent such trusts have
been funded otherwise than by the Subsidiary Group Guarantors) at a time when the payment is
prohibited by this Section 8 and a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Holder, as
applicable, has received written notice that such payment is prohibited by this Section 8, such
payment will be held by the Trustee or such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and will be paid
forthwith over and delivered, upon written request, to the Security Agent (as defined under the
relevant Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness document) for application to the payment of all
Obligations with respect to the Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the
extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with its terms.
With respect to the holders of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee
undertakes to perform only those obligations on the part of the Trustee as are specifically set
forth in this Section 8, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of
Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness will be read into the Indenture against the Trustee. The
Trustee will not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Guarantee Designated Senior
Indebtedness, and will not be liable to any such holders if the Trustee pays over or distributes to
or on behalf of Holders or any Subsidiary Group Guarantor or any other Person money or assets to
which any holders of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness are then entitled by virtue of this
Section 8, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence
of the Trustee.
(d) Each Subsidiary Group Guarantor will promptly notify the Trustee and the Paying Agent of
any facts known to such Subsidiary Group Guarantor that would cause a payment of any Obligations
with respect to its Guarantee to violate this Guarantee, but failure to give such notice will not
affect the subordination of this Guarantee to the Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness as
provided in this Guarantee.
(e) After all Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness is paid in full and until the Notes are
paid in full, Holders of Notes will be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness
pari passu with the Guarantee of each Subsidiary Group Guarantor) to the rights of holders of
Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Guarantee
Designated Senior Indebtedness to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of
Notes have been applied to the payment of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness. A distribution
made under this Guarantee to holders of Guarantee Designated
8
Senior Indebtedness that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between
the Subsidiary Group Guarantors and Holders, a payment by the Subsidiary Group Guarantors under
this Guarantee.
(f) This Guarantee defines the relative rights of Holders of Notes and holders of Guarantee
Designated Senior Indebtedness. Nothing in the Indenture will:
(1) impair, as between the Subsidiary Group Guarantors and Holders of Notes, the
obligation of the Subsidiary Group Guarantors, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
principal of, premium and interest and Additional Amounts and Liquidated Damages, if any,
on, the Guarantees in accordance with the terms herein;
(2) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Subsidiary
Group Guarantors other than their rights in relation to holders of Guarantee Designated
Senior Indebtedness; or
(3) prevent the Trustee or any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies
upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Guarantee
Designated Senior Indebtedness to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to
Holders of Notes.
If a Subsidiary Group Guarantor fails because of this Section 8 to pay principal of, premium
or interest or Additional Amounts and Liquidated Damages, if any, on, a Guarantee on the due date,
the failure is still a Default or Event of Default.
(g) No right of any holder of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness to enforce the
subordination of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Guarantee of a Subsidiary Group Guarantor may be
impaired by any act or failure to act by such Subsidiary Group Guarantor or any Holder or by the
failure of a Subsidiary Group Guarantor or any Holder to comply with the Indenture.
(h) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Guarantee Designated
Senior Indebtedness, the distribution may be made and the notice given to the Representatives.
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of a Subsidiary Group Guarantor referred to in this
Section 8, the Trustee and the Holders of Notes will be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of the Representatives, or of
the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the
Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Group Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 8.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8 or any other provision of the Indenture,
the Trustee will not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts that would prohibit
the making of any payment or distribution by the Trustee, and the Trustee and the
9
Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Notes, unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has received at its Corporate Trust Office at least ten Business Days prior to the date of
such payment written notice referencing this Guarantee and stating facts that would cause the
payment of any Obligations with respect to a Guarantee issued by a Subsidiary Group Guarantor to
violate this Section 8. Only a Subsidiary Group Guarantor or a Representative identifying itself
as such may give the notice. Nothing in this Section 8 will impair the claims of, or payments to,
the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07 of the Indenture.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Guarantee Designated Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same
with like rights.
(j) Each Holder of Notes, by the Holder’s acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the
Trustee on such Holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination as provided in this Guarantee, and appoints the Trustee to act as such
Holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. If the Trustee does not file a proper
proof of claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding referred to in Section 6.09
of the Indenture at least 30 days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, the
Representatives are hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders
of the Notes, and the Trustee shall be held harmless with respect thereto.
9. Reinstatement. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as
the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of the Obligations is rescinded or
must otherwise be restored or returned by the Trustee, the Collateral Agent or any Holder upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Issuer or of any other
Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of,
or trustee or similar officer for, the Issuer or any other Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
10. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid
in Dollars to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders without set-off or counterclaim at the office of
the Trustee set forth in Section 12.02 of the Indenture, or at such other office as the Trustee may
notify to the Guarantor in accordance with Section 18 hereof.
11. Covenants. Each Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Trustee and the
Holders that, from and after the date of this Guarantee until the Obligations are paid in full or
the release of such Guarantor in accordance with Section 7 hereof, it shall:
(a) (to the extent that such Guarantor is so required under the TIA) deliver to the Trustee,
within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of
the activities of the Guarantor and its subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made
under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the Issuer has
kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this Guarantee, and further stating,
as to each such Officer signing such certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the
Guarantor has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Guarantee and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions
and conditions of this Guarantee (or, if a Default or Event of Default has
10
occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default of which he or she may have
knowledge and what action the Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto) and
that to the best of his or her knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason
of which payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is prohibited or
if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what action the Guarantor is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto;
(b) (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Guarantee; and each of the Guarantors (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will
not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted
to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law
has been enacted;
(c) Subject to Section 6 hereof, do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect:
(1) its corporate existence, and the corporate, partnership or other existence of each
of its subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational documents (as the same
may be amended from time to time) of such Guarantor or any such subsidiary; and
(2) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Guarantor and
its subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be required to preserve
any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership or other existence of
any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation
thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Guarantor and its
subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes.
(d) pay, and will cause each of its subsidiaries to pay, prior to delinquency, all material
taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except such as are contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material
respect to the Holders of the Notes.
12. Indemnification. (a) The Guarantors, jointly and severally, will indemnify the
Trustee (which shall be deemed to include its officers, directors, employees and agents) against
any and all losses, liabilities or expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of its duties
under this Guarantee, including the costs and expenses of enforcing this Guarantee against the
Guarantors and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Guarantor, any Holder or
any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder, except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable
solely to its negligence or bad faith by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final
non-appealable order. The Trustee will notify the relevant Guarantor promptly of any claim for
11
which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee to so notify the Guarantors will not
relieve the Guarantors of their obligations hereunder. The relevant Guarantor will defend the
claim and the Trustee will cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the
Guarantor will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Guarantor need not pay
for any settlement made without its consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
(b) The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 12 will survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Guarantee, and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
(c) Subject to Section 8 hereof, to secure the Guarantor’s payment obligations in this Section
12, the Trustee will have a Lien prior to the Guarantees on all money or property held or collected
by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on the Notes. Such Lien
will survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.
13. Notice of Acceleration. If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of an
Event of Default, the Issuer will promptly notify the Representatives.
14. Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee 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.
15. Section Headings. The section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience
of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in
the interpretation hereof.
16. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Trustee nor any Holder shall by any
act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 17 hereof), 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 under any of the Indenture, the Notes, the Intercompany Note, the
Pledge of Intercompany Note or the Subordination Agreement or in any breach of any of the terms and
conditions hereof. 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 such 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 rights or remedies provided by law.
17. Integration; Waivers and Amendments; Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee
represents the entire agreement of each Guarantor with respect to the subject matter hereof and
there are no promises or representations by the Trustee or any Holder relative to the subject
matter hereof not reflected herein or in the Indenture, the Notes, the Intercompany Note,
12
the Pledge of Intercompany Note or the Subordination Agreement. None of the terms or
provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except as
set forth in Article 9 of the Indenture, provided however, that until payment in full of all
Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness the provisions of Section 8 hereof may not be amended or
modified in a manner adverse to the holders of Guarantee Designated Senior Indebtedness without the
written consent of the Representatives. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and
assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and
the Holders and their respective successors and assigns.
18. Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon each Guarantor or the
Trustee or any Holder to be effective shall be in writing in the English language, addressed to a
party at the address provided for such party in the Indenture or Schedule I hereto, as the
case may be, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified to the parties hereto, or by
telecopy (in each case, subject to the last paragraph of Section 12.02 of the Indenture) and,

on any number of separate counterparts (including facsimile and electronic transmission
counterparts) and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the
same instrument.
20. Authority of Trustee. Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights and
responsibilities of the Trustee under this Guarantee are as set forth in the Indenture, including,
without limitation, Articles 6 and 7 thereof.

Guarantee pursuant to Section 4.16 of the Indenture shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of
this Guarantee and shall execute and deliver a joinder to this Guarantee in the form of Exhibit
A hereto.
22. Indenture Controls. All parties agree that, in the event of a conflict between or

by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Collateral Agent). All documents, certificates, reports or
notices to be delivered or communications to be given or made by any party thereto pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, the Indenture, the Notes, the Intercompany Note, the Pledge of the
Intercompany Note or the Subordination Agreement shall be in the English language or, if originally

parties thereto shall have the right to rely for all purposes of this Guarantee, the Indenture, the
