The Guaranty
Section 2.1 Liabilities Guaranteed. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally guarantees the prompt payment of the Liabilities when due,
whether at maturity or otherwise.
Section 2.2 Nature of Guaranty. This Guaranty Agreement is an absolute,
irrevocable, completed and continuing guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of
collection, and no notice of the Liabilities or any extension of credit already
or hereafter contracted by or extended to Company need be given to Guarantor.
This Guaranty Agreement may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to
be effective with respect to debt under the Liabilities arising or created
after any attempted revocation by Guarantor and shall remain in full force and
effect until the Liabilities are paid in full and the Commitments are
terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time prior thereto no Liabilities
may be outstanding. Company and the Lenders may modify, alter, rearrange,
extend for any period and/or renew from time to time, the Liabilities, and the
Lenders may waive any Default or Events of Default without notice to the
Guarantor and in such event Guarantor will remain fully bound hereunder on the
Liabilities. This Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of the Liabilities
is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any of the Lenders upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Company or otherwise, all as though
such payment had not been made. This Guaranty Agreement may be enforced by the
Administrative Agent and any subsequent holder of any of the Liabilities and
shall not be discharged by the assignment or negotiation of all or part of the
Liabilities. Guarantor hereby expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of
nonpayment, protest and notice of protest and dishonor, notice of Default or
Event of Default, notice of intent to accelerate the maturity and notice of
acceleration of the maturity and any other notice in connection with the
Liabilities, and also notice of acceptance of this Guaranty Agreement,
acceptance on the part of the Lenders being conclusively presumed by the
Lenders' request for this Guaranty Agreement and delivery of the same to the
Administrative Agent.
Section 2.3 Administrative Agent's Rights. Guarantor authorizes the
Administrative Agent, without notice or demand and without affecting
Guarantor's liability hereunder, to take and hold security for the payment of
this Guaranty Agreement and/or the Liabilities, and exchange, enforce, waive
and release any such security; and to apply such security and direct the order
or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its discretion may
determine; and to obtain a guaranty of the Liabilities from any one or more
Persons and at any time or times to enforce, waive, rearrange, modify, limit or
release any of such other Persons from their obligations under such guaranties.
Section 2.4 Guarantor's Waivers.

exhaust any security given to secure the Liabilities (iv) have Company
joined with Guarantor in any suit arising out of this Guaranty Agreement
and/or the Liabilities, or (v) pursue any other remedy in the Lenders'
powers whatsoever. The Lenders shall not be required to mitigate damages
or take any action to reduce, collect or enforce the Liabilities.
Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability, lack of
corporate authority or power, or other defense of Company or any other
guarantor of the Liabilities, and shall remain liable hereon
2
5
regardless of whether Company or any other guarantor be found not liable
thereon for any reason. Whether and when to exercise any of the remedies
of the Lenders under any of the Financing Documents shall be in the sole
and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent, and no delay by the
Administrative Agent in enforcing any remedy, including delay in
conducting a foreclosure sale, shall be a defense to the Guarantor's
liability under this Guaranty Agreement. To the extent allowed by
applicable law, the Guarantor hereby waives any good faith duty on the
part of the Administrative Agent in exercising any remedies provided in
the Financing Documents.
(b) Subrogation. Until the Liabilities have been paid in full, the
Guarantor waives all rights of subrogation or reimbursement against the
Company, whether arising by contract or operation of law (including,
without limitation, any such right arising under any federal or state
bankruptcy or insolvency laws) and waives any right to enforce any remedy
which the Lenders now have or may hereafter have against the Company, and
waives any benefit or any right to participate in any security now or
hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender. The Guarantor
further agrees for the benefit of each of its creditors (including,
without limitation, the Lenders) that any such payment by the Guarantor
shall constitute a contribution of capital by the Guarantor to the
Company.
Section 2.5 Maturity of Liabilities: Payment. Guarantor agrees that if the
maturity of any of the Liabilities is accelerated by bankruptcy or otherwise,
such maturity shall also be deemed accelerated for the purpose of this Guaranty
Agreement without demand or notice to Guarantor. Guarantor will, forthwith upon
notice from the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent the
amount due and unpaid by Company and guaranteed hereby. The failure of the
Administrative Agent to give this notice shall not in any way release Guarantor
hereunder.
Section 2.6 Administrative Agent's Expenses. If Guarantor fails to pay the
Liabilities after notice from the Administrative Agent of Company's failure to
pay any Liabilities at maturity, and if the Administrative Agent obtains the

Guaranty Agreement, or if suit is filed to enforce this Guaranty Agreement, or
if proceedings are had in any bankruptcy, probate, receivership or other
judicial proceedings for the establishment or collection of any amount owing by
Guarantor hereunder, or if any amount owing by Guarantor hereunder is collected
through such proceedings, Guarantor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
the Administrative Agent's reasonable attorneys' fees.
Section 2.7 Liability. It is expressly agreed that the liability of the
Guarantor for the payment of the Liabilities guaranteed hereby shall be primary
and not secondary.

required to pay the Liabilities pursuant to the terms hereof; it being the

interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon Company's assets
securing payment of the Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and
subordinate to any liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other
encumbrances upon Company's assets securing payment of the Liabilities,
regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders presently exist or are hereafter created or
attach. Without the prior written consent of the Lenders, Guarantor shall not
(a) exercise or enforce any creditor's right it may have against the Company,

Agreement, the Administrative Agent may sell or cause to be sold, in one or
more sales or parcels, at such price as the Administrative Agent may deem best,
and for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any
credit risk, all or any of the Collateral at any broker's board or at public or

be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights against prior
