                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

                         GUARANTEE AGREEMENT dated as of November 28, 2001,
                    among ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, INC., a Delaware corporation
                    ("Holdings"), each of the subsidiaries of Holdings listed on
                      --------

                    ----------                                    ----------
                    and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation
                    ("Chase"), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
                      -----
                    "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in
                     ----------------
                    the Security Agreement, Exhibit F to the Credit Agreement
                    referred to below).

     Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001 (as
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
                                                                    ------
Agreement"), among Holdings, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, a Virginia
---------
corporation (the "Borrower"), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
                  --------
"Lenders"), Credit Suisse First Boston, as syndication agent, Lehman Commercial
 -------
Paper Inc., as syndication agent, and Chase, as administrative agent (in such
capacity, the "Administrative Agent") for the Lenders, Collateral Agent and as
               --------------------
issuing bank (in such capacity, the "Issuing Bank"). Capitalized terms used
                                     ------------
herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.

     The Lenders have agreed to make Loans to the Borrower, and the Issuing Bank
has agreed to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower, pursuant
to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit
Agreement. The Borrower has elected that the Guarantors guarantee the
Obligations (as defined below) by entering into this Agreement. Each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of Holdings and each of
the Subsidiary Guarantors and Holdings acknowledges that it will derive
substantial benefit from the making of the Loans by the Lenders and the issuance
of the Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank. The obligations of the Lenders to
make Loans and of the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned
on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of a
Guarantee Agreement in the form hereof. As consideration therefor and in order
to induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to

                                                                               2

issue Letters of Credit, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Agreement.

     Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly
                ---------
with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as
a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of (i) the principal of and premium,
if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of
whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Loans, when and as due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment
or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including
payments in respect of reimbursement of disbursements made by the Issuing Bank
with respect thereto, interest thereon and obligations to provide, under certain
circumstances, cash collateral in connection therewith, and (iii) all other
monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether
primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary
obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or
allowable in such proceeding), of the Loan Parties to the Secured Parties under
the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (b) the due and punctual
performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the
Loan Parties under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations
in respect of overdrafts and related liabilities owed to Chase, any Affiliate
thereof, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent arising from or in
connection with treasury, depositary or cash management services or in
connection with any automated clearinghouse transfer of funds and (d) unless
otherwise agreed to in writing by the applicable Lender party thereto, the due
and punctual payment and performance of all monetary obligations of the Borrower
under each Hedging Agreement entered into with any counterparty that was a
Lender (or an Affiliate of a Lender) at the time such Hedging Agreement was
entered into (all the monetary obligations described in the preceding clauses
(a) through (d) being collectively called the "Obligations"). Each Guarantor
further agrees that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in
part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that the security
interest granted hereunder and the obligations of each Guarantor will survive
any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

                                                                               3

     SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
                ----------------------
applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and
protest to the Borrower of any of the Obligations, and also waives notice of
acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right
or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of
the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission,
waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from, any of the terms or
provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guarantee or any
other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this
Agreement or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release
of, any of the security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any
other Secured Party.

     SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Collateral Agent
                --------
and each of the other Secured Parties to (a) take and hold security for the
payment of this Guarantee and the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and
release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct the order or
manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c)
release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other Guarantors or other
obligors in respect of the Obligations.

     SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor further agrees that its
                --------------------
guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and
waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party to any of the security held for payment of the
Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of
the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any
other Person.

     SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of
                -----------------------------------------
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation,
impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in
full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release,
surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be
subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the
Obligations or

<PAGE>

                                                                               4

otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise
affected by the failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to
assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of
any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, wilful or
otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or
omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any
Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a
matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of
all the Obligations).

     SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by
                ---------------------------
applicable law, each of the Guarantors waives any defense based on or arising
out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Obligations or
any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the
liability of the Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full
in cash of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties
may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by
one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such
security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the
Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other
guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the
Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the
liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have
been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law,
each of the Guarantors waives any defense arising out of any such election even
though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to
extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of
such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or guarantor, as the
case may be, or any security.

     SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay; Subordination. In furtherance of the foregoing
                -------------------------------
and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other
Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof,
upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Loan Party to pay any Obligation
when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and
will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to or as directed by the Collateral
Agent in cash the amount of

<PAGE>

                                                                               5

such unpaid Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to or as
directed by the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor
against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in
full in cash of all the Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Loan
Party now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of
payment to the prior payment in full of the Obligations. If, at any time that a
Default has occurred and is continuing, any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement,
indemnity or similar right or (b) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such
amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall
forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited against the payment of
the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of
the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 8. Information. Each of the Guarantors assumes all responsibility
                -----------
for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower's financial condition and
assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of
the Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such
Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral
Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise any of the
Guarantors of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.

     SECTION 9. Representations and Warranties. Each of the Subsidiary
                ------------------------------
Guarantors represents and warrants as to itself that all representations and
warranties relating to it contained in the Credit Agreement are true and
correct.

     SECTION 10. Termination. The Guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate
                 -----------
when all the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and reimbursement
obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further
commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been reduced
to zero and the Issuing Bank has no further obligation to issue Letters of
Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of
any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party
or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any
Guarantor or otherwise.

                                                                              6

     SECTION 11. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in
                 ----------------------------------------------
this Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be
deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants,
promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in
this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall become effective
as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such
Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent, and a counterpart
hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and
thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Collateral Agent and
their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such
Guarantor, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, and their
respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right
to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any
such attempted assignment shall be void). If all of the capital stock of a
Subsidiary Guarantor is sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (other than
to Holdings or a Subsidiary of Holdings) pursuant to a transaction permitted by
Section 6.05 of the Credit Agreement, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
released from its obligations under this Agreement without further action. This
Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each
Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with
respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without
affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

     SECTION 12. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Collateral
                 ------------------
Agent in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power. The rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder and of
the other Secured Parties under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are
not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any
Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be
permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to
any

<PAGE>

                                                                               7

other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

     (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended
or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the
Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates
and the Collateral Agent, subject to any consent required in accordance with
Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

     SECTION 13. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
                 -------------
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 14. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in
                 -------
writing and given as provided in Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All
communications and notices hereunder to each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given
to it at its address set forth in Schedule I.


     SECTION 15. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants,
                 -----------------------------------
agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in
the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to
have been relied upon by the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and
shall survive the making by the Lenders of the Loans and the issuance of the
Letters of Credit by the Issuing Bank regardless of any investigation made by
the Secured Parties or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and
effect until all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the
Lenders have no further commitment to lend, the LC Exposure has been reduced to
zero and the Issuing Bank has no further commitment to issue Letters of Credit
under the Credit Agreement.

     (b) In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the
remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a
particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself
affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties
shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as

<PAGE>
                                                                               8

close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
                 ------------
each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together
shall constitute a single contract, and shall become effective as provided in
Section 11. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 17. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified
                 -----------------------
in Section 1.03 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Agreement.

     SECTION 18. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor
                 -------------------------------------------
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to
the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of
the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court
from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto 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 parties hereto 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 Agreement shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent or
any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Guarantor or
its 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 that it may
now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any
New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties 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.

<PAGE>
                                                                               9

     (c) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process
in the manner provided for notices in Section 14. Nothing in this Agreement will
affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law.

     SECTION 19. 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 AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY
HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR 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 AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER
THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 19.

     SECTION 20. Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of
                 --------------------------------
the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of Holdings which is also a Subsidiary
Loan Party that was not in existence or not a Subsidiary on the date of the
Credit Agreement is required to enter into this Agreement as a Subsidiary
Guarantor upon becoming a Subsidiary. Upon execution and delivery after the date
hereof by the Collateral Agent and such a Subsidiary of an instrument in the
form of Annex 1, such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder
with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Guarantor
herein. The execution and delivery of any instrument adding an additional
Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent
of any other Guarantor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Guarantor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of
any new Subsidiary Guarantor as a party to this Agreement.

     SECTION 21. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
                 ---------------
be continuing, each Secured Party is hereby authorized at any time and from time
to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any
time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Secured Party to or
for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any or all the
obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents held by such Secured Party, irrespective of whether or
not

such Secured Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights
of each Secured Party under this Section 21 are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Secured Party may have.

                                                             Guarantee Agreement

                             SUPPLEMENT NO. [     ] dated as of [             ],
                    to the Guarantee Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001
                    among ADVANCE AUTO PARTS, INC., a Delaware corporation
                    ("Holdings") each of the subsidiaries of the Borrower listed
                    on Schedule I thereto (each such subsidiary individually, a
                    "Subsidiary Guarantor" and collectively, the "Subsidiary
                    Guarantors" and, together with Holdings, the "Guarantors")
                    and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, a New York banking corporation
                    ("Chase"), as collateral agent (in such capacity, the
                    "Collateral Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in
                    the Security Agreement, Exhibit F to the Credit Agreement
                    referred to below).

     A. Reference is made to the Credit Agreement dated as of November 28, 2001
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement"), among Holdings, Advance Stores Company, Incorporated, a Virginia
corporation (the "Borrower"), the lenders from time to time party thereto (the
"Lenders"), Credit Suisse First Boston, as syndication agent, Lehman Commercial
Paper Inc., as syndication agent, and Chase, as administrative agent (in such
capacity the "Administrative Agent") for the Lenders, Collateral Agent and as
issuing bank (in such capacity, the "Issuing Bank"). Capitalized terms used
herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in
the Credit Agreement.

     B. The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to
induce the Lenders to make Loans and the Issuing Bank to issue Letters of
Credit. Pursuant to Section 5.12 of the Credit Agreement, each Subsidiary of
Holdings which is also a Subsidiary Loan Party that was not in existence or not
a Subsidiary on the date of the Credit Agreement is required to enter into the
Guarantee Agreement as a Subsidiary Guarantor upon becoming a Subsidiary.
Section 20 of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Subsidiaries of
Holdings may become Subsidiary Guarantors under the Guarantee Agreement by
execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement. The
undersigned Subsidiary of Holdings (the "New Subsidiary Guarantor") is executing
this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to
become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce
the Lenders to make additional Loans and the

Issuing Bank to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for
Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

     Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary Guarantor agree as
follows:

     SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 20 of the Guarantee Agreement, the
New Subsidiary Guarantor by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor
under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally
named therein as a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the New Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
(a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable
to it as a Subsidiary Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that
the representations and warranties made by it as a Subsidiary Guarantor
thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof. Each reference to
a "Subsidiary Guarantor" in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include
the New Subsidiary Guarantor. The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.

     SECTION 2. The New Subsidiary Guarantor represents and warrants to the
Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been
duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid
and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.

     SECTION 3. This Supplement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall
constitute a single contract. This Supplement shall become effective when the
Collateral Agent shall have received counterparts of this Supplement that, when
taken together, bear the signatures of the New Subsidiary Guarantor and the
Collateral Agent. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by
facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Supplement.

     SECTION 4. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.

     SECTION 5. THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     SECTION 6. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Supplement should be held invalid, illegal

                                                                               3

or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the
invalidity of a particular provision hereof in a particular jurisdiction shall
not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other
jurisdiction). The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to
replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions
the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.

     SECTION 7. All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and
given as provided in Section 14 of the Guarantee Agreement. All communications
and notices hereunder to the New Subsidiary Guarantor shall be given to it at
the address set forth under its signature below, with a copy to the Borrower.

     SECTION 8. The New Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Collateral
Agent for its out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement,
including the fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel for the
Collateral Agent.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the New Subsidiary Guarantor and the Collateral Agent
have duly executed this Supplement to the Guarantee Agreement as of the day and
year first above written.
