successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by
any Subsidiary Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of
the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations.


(b)      The Borrower further agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation,
all fees and disbursements of counsel) which may be paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent,
any Issuing Lender or any Lender in enforcing, or obtaining advice of counsel in respect of, any

fees and expenses of more than one separate firm for the Lenders or any Issuing Lender (unless

than two separate firms) in connection with any one such action or any separate, but substantially
similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction, nor shall the Borrower be liable for any
settlement or proceeding effected without the Borrower’s written consent. This Parent Guaranty
shall remain in full force and effect until the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full
and the Commitments are terminated.

collected by the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Subsidiary Borrower 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 Subsidiary Borrower Obligations
shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Borrower
hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment or payments (other than payments made by
the Borrower in respect of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or payments received or collected
from the Borrower in respect of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations), remain liable for the

payment to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on account of its liability



11









 




hereunder, it will
notify the Administrative Agent and such Lender in writing that such payment is made under this
Parent Guaranty for such purpose.


SECTION 8A.2 No Subrogation.


Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Borrower under this Parent Guaranty, or
any set-off or application of funds of the Borrower by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the
Borrower shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender against any Subsidiary Borrower or against any collateral security or guaranty or right
of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower
Obligations, nor shall the Borrower seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement
from any Subsidiary Borrower in respect of payments made by the Borrower under this Parent
Guaranty, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Subsidiary
Borrowers on account of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments
are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to the Borrower on account of such subrogation rights
at any time when all of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by the Borrower in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
segregated from other funds of the Borrower, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Borrower, be
turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by the Borrower (duly indorsed
by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may
determine.


SECTION 8A.3 Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations; Waiver of Rights.


The Borrower shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of
rights against the Borrower, and without notice to or further assent by the Borrower, any demand
for payment of any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any of the Subsidiary
Borrower Obligations continued, and the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or the liability of any
other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guaranty 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 this Agreement and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection herewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as
the Administrative Agent (or the requisite Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from
time to time, and any collateral security, guaranty or right of offset at any time held by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Subsidiary Borrower 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 Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or for the Parent Guaranty under this Article 8A
or any property subject thereto. When making any demand hereunder against the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or
any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on any Subsidiary
Borrower, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand



12









 




or to
collect any payments from any Subsidiary Borrower or any release of any Subsidiary Borrower shall
not relieve the Borrower of its 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 the Borrower. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the
commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.


SECTION 8A.4 Parent Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional.


The Borrower waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any
of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender upon this Parent Guaranty or acceptance of the Parent Guaranty under this
Article 8A; the Subsidiary Borrower 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 the Parent Guaranty under this Article 8A; and all dealings between any Subsidiary Borrower
and the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other,
shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the Parent
Guaranty under this Article 8A. The Borrower waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any Subsidiary Borrower or the Borrower with
respect to the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations. The Parent Guaranty under this Article 8A shall be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment without regard to (a) the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations or any
other collateral security therefor or guaranty 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 Subsidiary Borrower against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Subsidiary
Borrower or the Borrower) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or
legal discharge of a Subsidiary Borrower for its Subsidiary Borrower Obligations, or of the
Borrower under the Parent Guaranty under this Article 8A, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
any Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have
against any Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person or against any collateral security or guaranty
for the Subsidiary Borrower 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 Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or to realize upon any
such collateral security or guaranty or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any
Subsidiary Borrower or any such other Person or of any such collateral security, guaranty or right
of offset, shall not relieve the Borrower of any liability under this Parent Guaranty, and shall
not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of
law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. The Parent Guaranty under
this Article 8A shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the
extent of its terms upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the
benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns,
until all the Subsidiary Borrower Obligations and the obligations of the Borrower under the Parent



13









 




Guaranty under this Article 8A shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments
shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement any
Subsidiary Borrower may be free from any Subsidiary Borrower Obligations.


SECTION 8A.5 Reinstatement.The Parent Guaranty under this Article 8A 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 Subsidiary Borrower 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 Subsidiary Borrower or upon or as a result of the appointment
of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Subsidiary
Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not
been made.”
