THIRD LIEN BORROWER PARTY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT




     THIRD LIEN BORROWER PARTY GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of October 13, 2009 (this “Guarantee”)
by International Lease Finance Corporation, a California corporation (“ILFC”), States Aircraft,
Inc., a California corporation (“States”), Shrewsbury Aircraft Leasing Limited, a private limited
liability company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“Shrewsbury”, and together with ILFC and
States, the “Borrowers”), Top Aircraft, Inc., a California corporation (“Top Aircraft”), ILFC
Ireland Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“ILFC
Ireland”), ILFC France S.a.r.l., a société à responsabilité limitée organized under the laws of
France (“ILFC France”), and ILFC Labuan Ltd., a Labuan private limited liability company
incorporated under the Offshore Companies Act 1990 of Malaysia (“ILFC Labuan”, and together with
ILFC Ireland and ILFC France, the “Intermediate Lessees”) and the Additional Guarantors (as defined
in Section 11) (the Borrowers, Top Aircraft, the Intermediate Lessees and the Additional
Guarantors, collectively, the “Guarantors” and each a “Guarantor”) for the benefit of the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York (with its successors and assigns, the “Beneficiary”).



     WHEREAS, each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of American
International Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors, the “Obligor”);



     WHEREAS, the Obligor has entered into the Credit Agreement dated as of September 22, 2008
among the Obligor, as borrower, and the Beneficiary, as lender (as amended, restated, amended and
restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Parent Facility”);



     WHEREAS, the Borrowers desire to borrow term loans in an aggregate principal amount of
$2,000,000,000 under the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Borrowers, Top
Aircraft, the Intermediate Lessees, AIG Funding, Inc., as lender (the “Borrower Facility Lender”),
and Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, as security trustee (as amended, restated,
amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Borrower
Facility”);



     WHEREAS, in order for the Borrower Facility Lender to make the Term Loans to the Borrowers
under the Borrower Facility, the Obligor must first make a Borrowing (the “New FRBNY Borrowing”)
under the Parent Facility in an amount equal to the Term Loans, with the funds so borrowed being
advanced immediately to the Borrowers in the form of the Term Loans;



     WHEREAS, the Parent Facility prohibits the making of the Term Loans by the Borrower Facility
Lender to the Borrowers as currently contemplated by



1









 







the Borrower Facility because the Borrowers are not Loan Parties under the Parent Facility
(the “Existing Restriction”);



     WHEREAS, ILFC entered into (i) the Demand Note Agreement dated as of March 9, 2009 (the
“Existing Loan I Documentation”) with the Borrower Facility Lender, pursuant to which the Borrower
Facility Lender extended credit to ILFC in the principal amount of $800,000,000 (the “Existing Loan
I”) and (ii) the Demand Note Agreement dated as of March 26, 2009 (the “Existing Loan II
Documentation”; and together with the Existing Loan I Documentation, the “Existing Loan
Documentation”) with the Borrower Facility Lender, pursuant to which the Borrower Facility Lender
extended credit to ILFC in the principal amount of $900,000,000 (the “Existing Loan II”; and
together with the Existing Loan I, the “Existing Loans”);



     WHEREAS, the Guarantors and the Borrower Facility Lender have agreed to amend and restate the
Existing Loan Documentation as provide in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of the
date hereof among the Borrowers, Top Aircraft, the Intermediate Lessees, the Borrower Facility
Lender and Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, as security trustee (the “Security
Trustee”) (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”; and the loans outstanding thereunder, the
“Term Loans”), to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the Existing Loans and (ii)
permit the addition of the Non-Parent Borrowers as borrowers thereunder to facilitate a
restructuring of the Loans after the Amendment Effective Date (as defined therein);



     WHEREAS, the Beneficiary is willing to (a) make the necessary waiver of the Existing
Restriction and the other applicable provisions of the Parent Facility, pursuant to the Letter
Agreement dated as of October 13, 2009 among the Obligor and the Beneficiary, to enable and permit
the making of the term loans under the Borrower Facility and (b) enter into the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, but only if each Guarantor (i) guarantees the Guaranteed Obligations (as
defined below) as more fully set forth herein and (ii) secures such guarantee by granting a
third-priority security interest in, and lien on, certain of its assets in favor of the Security
Trustee, for the benefit of the Beneficiary, as more fully set forth in the Aircraft Mortgage and
Security Agreement dated as of the date hereof (the “Mortgage”) among the Guarantors, the Security
Trustee and the other Security Trustees (as defined therein); and



     WHEREAS, in consideration of the financial accommodation and other support that the Obligor
has provided, directly or indirectly, pursuant to the Borrower Facility, the Existing Loans and the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and such financial and other support as the Obligor may in
the future provide to the Guarantors, and in order to induce the Beneficiary to consent to the
making of the Term Loans and to enter into the Amended and Restated Credit



2









 







Agreement the Guarantors are willing to enter into this Guarantee and to secure their
obligations hereunder pursuant to the terms set forth in the Mortgage.



     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor, jointly and severally
with each other Guarantor, hereby agrees as follows:



     1. Terms Defined in the Parent Facility; Loan Document. For all purposes of this Guarantee,
all capitalized terms used but not defined in this Guarantee (including in the recitals above)
shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Parent Facility. This Guarantee
shall be considered a “Loan Document” under the Parent Facility.



     2. The Guarantee. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally
and irrevocably guarantees, as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection,
the full and punctual payment when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise)
of each Guaranteed Obligation, as hereinafter defined; provided that the recourse of the
Beneficiary against the Guarantors under this Guarantee at any time will be limited to an aggregate
amount equal to the lesser of (a) $1,700,000,000 plus all unpaid interest accrued thereon under the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through and including such time and (b) the amount of
Obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) outstanding under the Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement at such time. Upon failure by the Obligor to pay punctually any
Guaranteed Obligation, the Guarantors shall pay the amount of Guaranteed Obligations not so paid at
the FRBNY Account (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). The Beneficiary shall
notify the Guarantors when payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is due hereunder (and the amount so
due), unless prevented from doing so by applicable law, including any Bankruptcy Law;
provided that any failure of the Beneficiary to so notify the Guarantors shall not affect
the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
liability of each Guarantor shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed
Obligations and would be owed by any Loan Party to the Beneficiary but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving such Loan Party. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Guarantors hereby agree
to make payments of principal and interest in respect of the Term Loans to the FRBNY Account set
forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each payment of principal of the Term Loans
shall be credited against and reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the maximum amount of the
Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all payments by any
Guarantor under this Guarantee shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as though such payment were made pursuant to Section 2.12 of the
Parent Facility and such Guarantor were a Borrower thereunder.



3









 




“Guaranteed Obligations” means (i) all principal of all Loans outstanding from time to time under
the Parent Facility, all interest (including Post-Petition Interest) on such Loans and all other
amounts now or hereafter payable by the Obligor under the Loan Documents and (ii) any renewals,
refinancings or extensions of any of the foregoing (including Post-Petition Interest).




     3. Guarantee Unconditional. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee are those
of primary obligor, and not merely of surety, and shall be unconditional and absolute and, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected
by:




     (i) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of
any obligation of the Obligor, any other Guarantor, any “Guarantor” (as defined in the
Parent Facility) (an “Existing Guarantor”) or any other Person under any Loan Document, by
operation of law or otherwise;




     (ii) any modification or amendment of or supplement to any Loan Document or any “Loan
Document” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) (an “Amendment Loan
Document”);




     (iii) any release, impairment, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect
security for any obligation of the Obligor, any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or
any other Person under any Loan Document or Amendment Loan Document;




     (iv) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Obligor,
any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective
subsidiaries, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding
affecting the Obligor, any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or any other Person or
any of their assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the
Obligor, any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or any other Person under any Loan
Document or Amendment Loan Document;




     (v) the existence of any claim, set-off or other right that such Guarantor may have
at any time against the Obligor, any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor, the
Beneficiary or any other Person, whether in connection with the Loan Documents or the
Amendment Loan Documents or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein shall
prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;




     (vi) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Obligor, any other
Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or any other Person for any reason of any Loan Document
or any Amendment Loan



4









 







Document, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the
payment of any Obligation, “Obligation” (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement), Guaranteed Obligation or Secured Obligation by the Obligor, any other
Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor or any other Person; or




     (vii) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Obligor, any other
Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor, any other party to any Loan Document or Amendment Loan
Document, the Beneficiary or any other Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that
might, but for the provisions of this clause (vii), constitute a legal or equitable
discharge of or defense to any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder.



     4. Limit of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee, the
Beneficiary, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee and
the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law (as hereinafter defined), the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to
the extent applicable to this Guarantee and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder.
To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Beneficiary and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guarantee at any time shall be limited
to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Bankruptcy Law or any
comparable provision of applicable law. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means any proceeding
of the type referred to in paragraph (g) of Article 7 of the Parent Facility or Title 11, U.S.
Code, or any similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.




     (b) In the event that the direct or indirect assets of any Guarantor organized under
the laws of Ireland are insufficient to pay in full all claims made by the Beneficiary in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor under this Agreement, then the
Beneficiary shall have no further claim against such Guarantor with respect to its
Guaranteed Obligations for amounts that exceed its direct or indirect assets at such time.




     (c) The guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings granted by ILFC France
under this Guarantee shall, for each relevant financial year, be, in any and all cases,
strictly limited to 90% of the annual net margin generated by ILFC France in connection
with back-to-back leasing activities between it and ILFC with respect to the lease of Pool
Aircraft (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).



     5. Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances. Each
Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force



5









 







and effect until the earlier of the time (a) all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid
in full and no Commitment remains outstanding and (b) all outstanding “Obligations” (as defined in
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) shall have been paid in full. If at any time any
payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Obligor or otherwise, the Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had
been due but not made at such time, but in no event shall any Guarantor have any liability in
excess of the amount described in Section 2 above.



     6. Waiver by Guarantors. Each Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment,
demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time
any action be taken by any Person against the Obligor, any other Guarantor, any Existing Guarantor
or any other Person.



     7. Subrogation. Upon making full payment with respect to any obligation of the Obligor
hereunder, a Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Obligor with
respect to such obligation; provided that such Guarantor shall not enforce any payment by way of
subrogation so long as any Guaranteed Obligation remains unpaid.



     8. Stay of Acceleration. If acceleration of the time for payment of any Guaranteed Obligation
is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Obligor, all such Guaranteed
Obligations otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Parent Facility or any other
Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the
Beneficiary.



     9. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor represents and warrants to the Beneficiary
that:




     (a) Such Guarantor is a Person duly organized, validly existing and, if applicable,
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization; and such
Guarantor has the power and authority to own its property and to carry on its business as
now being conducted and is duly qualified and, if applicable, in good standing as a
foreign corporation or other entity authorized to do business in each jurisdiction where,
because of the nature of its activities or properties, such qualification is required,
except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement).




     (b) The execution and delivery by such Guarantor of this Guarantee and the
performance of its obligations hereunder and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby (i) are within its organizational powers, (ii) have been duly
authorized by all necessary



6









 







corporate action, (iii) have received all necessary approvals, authorizations,
consents, registrations, notices, exemptions, licenses, declarations, orders and other
actions (if any shall be required) from Governmental Authorities (as defined in the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement), (iv) do not and will not contravene, constitute a
default under or conflict with any provision of (A) law (including any Environmental Law
(as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement)), rule or regulation applicable
to such Guarantor or with respect to any of its properties, (B) any writ, judgment, decree
or order to which such Guarantor is a party or by which it is bound or affected, (C) its
Operating Documents or Organizational Documents (each as defined in the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement) or (D) any provision of any agreement or instrument binding on
such Guarantor, or any agreement or instrument of which such Guarantor is aware affecting
the properties of such Guarantor and (iv) do not and will not result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Adverse Claim (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement) on any of such Guarantor’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such
agreement or instrument referred to in clause (iv)(D) of this Section 9(b), other than the
Security Documents (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement). This
Guarantee has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Guarantor.




     (c) This Guarantee constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of such
Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws
of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles.




     (d) As of the date hereof, all Litigation Actions (as defined in the Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement), when taken as a whole, could not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement).
As of the date hereof, other than any liability incident to such Litigation Actions or
provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section 3.04 of the
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and other than as set forth in ILFC’s filings with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, no Guarantor has any contingent liabilities which
are material to its business, credit, operations or financial condition of the Guarantors
taken as a whole.



     10. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, so long as any Obligations (as
defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) shall remain unpaid, such Guarantor will
perform and observe all of the terms, covenants and agreements set forth in the Amendment Loan
Documents on its part to be performed or observed.



7









 





     11. Guarantee Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a guarantee
supplement in substantially the form of Annex A hereto (each, a “Guarantee Supplement”), (a) such
Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a Guarantor
hereunder, and each reference in this Guarantee to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference
to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Amendment Loan Document to a
“Guarantor” or “Borrower Party” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor,
and (b) each reference herein to “this Guarantee”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import
referring to this Guarantee, and each reference in any other Amendment Loan Document to the
“Borrower Party Guarantee”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to this
Guarantee, shall mean and be a reference to this Guarantee as supplemented by such Guarantee
Supplement.



     12. Notices. All notices and other communications provided for herein shall be in writing and
shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, in the manner provided in Section 8.01 of
the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. All notices and other communications given in
accordance with the provisions of this Guarantee will be deemed to have been given on the date of
receipt.



     13. No Waiver. No failure or delay by the Beneficiary or any Third Lien Secured Party (as
defined in the Mortgage) in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Guarantee, the
Parent Facility, any other Loan Document or any other Amendment Loan Document shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.



     14. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Guarantee may be amended or waived if, but
only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Beneficiary and each
Guarantor.



     15. Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its
successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Beneficiary and its successors and assigns, except
that no Guarantor may transfer or assign any or all of its rights or obligations hereunder without
the prior written consent of the Beneficiary.



     16. Choice of Law. This Guarantee shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the
laws of the State of New York.



     17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTEE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A)
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR



8









 







ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY
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 GUARANTEE BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.



     18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction
of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York
County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guarantee, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the
Guarantors hereby 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 or, to the extent permitted
by law, in such Federal court. Each of the Guarantors 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 Guarantee shall affect any right
that the Beneficiary may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this
Guarantee or the other Amendment Loan Documents against any Guarantor or its respective properties
in the courts of any jurisdiction.



     (b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may
legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of
venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guarantee or the other
Amendment Loan Documents in any New York State or Federal court. Each Guarantor hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to
the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.



     (c) Each party to this Guarantee irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner
provided for notices in Section 8.01 of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement. Nothing in this
Guarantee will affect the right of any party to this Guarantee to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.



     19. Headings. Article and Section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only,
are not part of this Guarantee and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting, this Guarantee.



     20. Severability. If any provision of this Guarantee is invalid or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, then, to the fullest extent permitted by law, (i) the other provisions of this
Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect in such



9









 







jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in favor of the Beneficiary in order to carry
out the intentions of the parties thereto as nearly as may be possible, and (ii) the invalidity or
unenforceability of such provision in such jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or
enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction.



     21. Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this
Guarantee by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed
counterpart of this Guarantee.

Attention:                     




Ladies and Gentlemen:





     Reference is made to the Third Lien Borrower Party Guarantee Agreement dated as of October 13,
2009, made by the Guarantors party thereto in favor of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (such
Borrower Party Guarantee, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guarantee Supplement (this
“Guarantee Supplement”), being the “Guarantee”). The capitalized terms defined in the Guarantee
and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.



     Section 1. Guarantee. (a) The undersigned hereby, jointly and severally with the other
Guarantors, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a guarantee of payment and
not merely as a guarantee of collection, the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled
maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all of the Guaranteed Obligations;
provided that the recourse of the Beneficiary against the Guarantors under the Guarantee at
any time will be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the lesser of (i) $1,700,000,000 plus all
unpaid interest accrued under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement through and including such
time and (ii) the amount of Obligations (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement)
owing by the Borrowers under the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement at such time. Upon failure
by the Obligor to pay punctually any Guaranteed Obligation, the undersigned shall forthwith pay the
amount of Guaranteed Obligations not so paid at FRBNY Account. The Beneficiary shall notify the
undersigned when payment of any Guaranteed Obligation is due hereunder (and the amount so due),
unless prevented from doing so by applicable law, including any Bankruptcy Law; provided
that any failure of the Beneficiary to so notify the undersigned shall not affect the obligations
of the undersigned hereunder or under the Guaranee. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the
Guaranteed



1









 







Obligations and would be owed by any Loan Party to the Beneficiary but for the fact that they
are unenforceable, rejected, rejectable or otherwise not allowable due to the existence of a
bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such Loan Party. In furtherance of the
foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees to make payments of principal and interest in respect of
the Term Loans to the FRBNY Account set forth in the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each
payment of principal of the Term Loans shall be credited against and reduce on a dollar-for-dollar

     (b) The undersigned, and by its acceptance of this Guarantee Supplement, the Beneficiary,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guarantee Supplement, the

federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guarantee Supplement, the Guarantee and the
Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the
Beneficiary and the undersigned hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of the undersigned

comparable provision of applicable law. [In the event that the direct or indirect assets of the
undersigned are insufficient to pay in full all claims made by the Beneficiary in respect of the
Guaranteed Obligations of the undersigned under this Guarantee Supplement and the Guarantee, then
the Beneficiary shall have no further claim against the undersigned with respect to its Guaranteed
Obligations for amounts that exceed its direct or indirect assets at such time.]1 [The
guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings granted by the undersigned under this
Guarantee Supplement and the Guarantee shall, for each relevant financial year, be, in any and all
