equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.
2. Guarantee. (a) Subject to the provisions of paragraph 2(b),
each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and
irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of
the Lenders and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns,
the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrowers when due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Obligations (other than any obligations owing directly by such Guarantor as a
Subsidiary Borrower).
(b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the
contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be
guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to
the insolvency of debtors.

obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any rights with respect to, or
collecting, any or all of the Obligations and/or enforcing any rights with
respect to, or collecting against, such Guarantor under this Guarantee. This
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid
in full and the Commitments are terminated, notwithstanding that from time to
time prior thereto the Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.

(d) 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 and remedies
of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder.
(e) No payment or payments made by any of the Borrowers, any
of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or
collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any of the Borrowers,
any of the 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 and the
Commitments are terminated.
(f) Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from
time to time, it shall make any payment to the Administrative Agent or any
Lender on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify the Administrative
Agent in writing that such payment is made under this Guarantee for such
purpose.
3. Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to
the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of
any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive
contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder who has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 hereof. The provisions
of this Section shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any
Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall
remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount
guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
4. Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence of any Event of
Default, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender at any time
and from time to time without notice to such Guarantor or any other Guarantor,
any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor, to set-off and
appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender to or
for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in such
amounts as such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and
liabilities of such Guarantor to such Lender hereunder and claims of every
nature and description of such Lender against such Guarantor, in any currency,
whether arising hereunder, under the Credit Agreement, any Note, any Loan
Document or otherwise, as such Lender may elect, whether or not the
Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any demand
4
4
for payment and although such obligations, liabilities and claims may be
contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify
such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section are in addition
to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of
set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have.
5. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments
made by any of the Guarantors hereunder or any set-off or application of funds
of any of the Guarantors by any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender
against any Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by any Lender for the payment of the
Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Guarantor in
respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrowers on account of the
Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount
shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time
when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall
be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt
by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form
received by such Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the
Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine.
6. 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender 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 Administrative
Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan
Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith
may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as
the Administrative Agent (or the Majority Lenders, as the case may be) may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the
payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or
released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender 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 of the Guarantors, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to,
make a similar demand on any Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, and
any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand
5
5
or to collect any payments from any such Borrower or any such other Guarantor or
guarantor or any release of any such Borrower or such other Guarantor or
guarantor shall not relieve any of the Guarantors 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
Administrative Agent or any Lender against any of the Guarantors. For the
purposes hereof "demand" shall include the commencement and continuance of any
legal proceedings.
7. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives
any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, the Obligations,
and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted
or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this
Guarantee; and all dealings between any of the Borrowers and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on
the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee. Each Guarantor waives diligence,
presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to
or upon any of the Borrowers or any of the Guarantors with respect to the
Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that this Guarantee shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
without regard to (a) the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Credit
Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations or any
other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of
payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
any Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c) any other
circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower
or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an
equitable or legal discharge of any of the Borrowers for the Obligations, or of
such Guarantor under this Guarantee, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent and any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to,
pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower or any other
Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the Obligations or
any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any
payments from any Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any such
collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any
release of any of the Borrowers or any such other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve such Guarantor of any
liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies,
whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders against such Guarantor. This Guarantee shall remain in
full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its
terms upon each Guarantor and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall
inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their
respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, until all the
Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee shall
have been satisfied by payment in full and the
6
6
Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during
the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrowers may be free from any Obligations.
8. 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 any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any
Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the
Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,
all as though such payments had not been made.
9. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments
hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or
counterclaim in U.S. Dollars at the office of the Administrative Agent located
at 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000.

dealing;

each borrowing by any Borrower under the Credit Agreement on and as of the
relevant Borrowing Date as though made hereunder on and as of such date.
11. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent
under this Guarantee with respect to any action taken by the Administrative
Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option,
right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or
resulting or arising out of this Guarantee shall, as between the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other
agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but,
as between the Administrative Agent and such Guarantor, the Administrative Agent
shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Lenders with full
and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Guarantor shall be
under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such
authority.

counterparts of this Guarantee signed by all the Guarantors shall be lodged with
the Administrative Agent.

prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction,
