GUARANTY PROVISIONS




     SECTION 2.1 Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, and
irrevocably (1) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the
Borrowers and each other Obligor now or hereafter existing under each of the Credit Agreement, the
Notes and each other Loan Document to which the Borrowers or such other Obligor is or may become a
party, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts
which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the
United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b)
of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §502(b) and §506(b)), and (2) indemnifies and holds
harmless each Lender and each holder of a Note for any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred by such Lender or such holder, as the case may
be, in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty; provided however, that the Guarantor shall be
liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred
without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to the Guarantor, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount.
This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and the
Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender or any
holder of any Note



Subsidiary Guaranty

exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the
Borrowers or any other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of
the Guarantor hereunder.




     SECTION 2.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the
occurrence of any event of the type described in Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement, with
respect to the Borrowers, any other Obligor or the Guarantor, and if such event shall occur at a
time when any of the Obligations may not then be due and payable, the Guarantor will pay to the
Lenders forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by the Guarantor if all such
Obligations were then due and payable.



     SECTION 2.3 Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a
continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full
force and effect until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations) of the
Borrowers and each other Obligor have been paid in full (or, in the case of L/C Obligations, Cash
Collateralized), all obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full, all
Commitments shall have terminated and, except as provided in Section 10.01(e) of the Credit
Agreement, all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated. The Guarantor may not rescind or revoke
its obligations hereunder. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrowers and each
other Obligor will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and each
other Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or
hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or
any holder of any Note with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty
shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of: (1) any lack of validity,
legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document; (2) the
failure of any Lender or any holder of any Note (a) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
right or remedy against the Borrowers, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other
guarantor) under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document or
otherwise, or (b) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral
securing, any Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor; (3) any change in the time, manner
or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or
any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations of the
Borrowers or any other Obligor; (4) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any
Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor for any reason, including any claim of waiver,
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Guarantor hereby
waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise,
unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the Borrowers,
any other Obligor or otherwise; (5) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of,
or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other
Loan Document; (6) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral,
or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other
guaranty, held by any Lender or any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations of the
Borrowers or any other Obligor; (7) the insolvency or bankruptcy of, or similar event affecting,
the Borrowers or any other Obligor; or (8) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrowers, any other Obligor, any
surety or any guarantor. The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses which may arise with respect
to any of the foregoing, and the Guarantor waives any right to revoke this Guaranty with respect to
future indebtedness.



     SECTION 2.4 Reinstatement. The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part)
of any of



Subsidiary Guaranty




Page 3





 









 







the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any holder of any
Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrowers, any other Obligor or
otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.




     SECTION 2.5 Waiver, etc. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice
of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of the Borrowers or any
other Obligor and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any other Lender
or any holder of any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any
property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrowers, any other
Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing
the Obligations of the Borrowers or any other Obligor, as the case may be.



     SECTION 2.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Obligations are paid in full, all
Commitments have terminated and all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated (except as provided
in Section 10.01(e) of the Credit Agreement), the Guarantor shall not enforce or exercise any claim
or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrowers or any other Obligor
that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lenders
against the Borrowers or any other Obligor or any collateral which the Administrative Agent now has
or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under
contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrowers or any
other Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner,
payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to
the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid
to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders by the Guarantor receiving such payment
to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. The Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements
contemplated by the Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly
made in contemplation of such benefits.



     SECTION 2.7 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, etc. The Guarantor hereby agrees that:



     (a) All payments by the Guarantor hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 3.01 of
the Credit Agreement free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and
all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each
Lender, taxes imposed on or measured by its net income (including any franchise taxes imposed on or
measured by its net income), by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the
Laws of which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or
maintains its Lending Office (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to
as “Taxes”). In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the
Guarantor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or
regulation, then the Guarantor will (i) pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount
required to be so withheld or deducted; (ii) promptly forward to such Lender an official receipt or
other documentation satisfactory to such Lender evidencing such payment to such authority; and
(iii) pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net
amount actually received by such Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received
had no such withholding or deduction been required. Moreover, if any Taxes are directly
asserted against any Lender with respect to any payment received by such Lender hereunder,
such Lender may pay such Taxes and the Guarantor will promptly pay such additional amounts
(including, if incurred



Subsidiary Guaranty




Page 4





 









 







as a result of the Guarantor’s or the Borrowers’ action, omission or delay, any penalties,
interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such Lender after
the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount
such Lender would have received had such Taxes not been asserted.




     (b) If the Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or
fails to remit to any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Guarantor shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may
become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure.



     (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Guarantor hereunder, the
agreements and obligations of the Guarantor contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the payment
in full of the principal of and interest on the Revolving Loan.



     SECTION 2.8 Contribution Agreement. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations,
the Guarantor together with all other guarantors which have made payments upon all or any part of
the Obligations shall be entitled to contribution from all of the other guarantors, to the end that
all such payments upon the Obligations shall be shared among all guarantors who guaranteed such
Obligations in proportion to their respective Net Worths (defined below); provided that the
contribution obligations of each of the guarantors shall be limited to the maximum amount that it
can pay at such time without rendering its contribution obligations voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers. As used in this subsection, the “Net
Worth” of each of the guarantors, means at any time, the remainder of (i) the fair value of such
guarantor’s assets (other than such right of contribution), minus (ii) the fair value of such
guarantor’s liabilities (other than its liabilities under its guaranty of the Obligations).



     SECTION 2.9 Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior to the
Obligations any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by the Borrowers or other
Obligor to the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that if any Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing under the Credit Agreement, it will not permit the Borrowers to repay such indebtedness
or any part thereof and it will not accept payment from the Borrowers of such indebtedness or any
part thereof without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. If the Guarantor receives
any such payment without the prior required written consent, the amount so paid shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from the other funds of the Guarantor,
and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent
as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the
Administrative Agent against, all or any portions of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured,
in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.



ARTICLE III




MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS




     SECTION 3.1 Loan Document. This Guaranty is a Loan Document executed pursuant to the
Credit Agreement and shall (unless otherwise expressly indicated herein) be construed, administered
and applied in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof.



     SECTION 3.2 Releases. At such time as the Revolving Loan shall have been paid in full
(other than contingent indemnity obligations and, with respect to L/C Obligations, if they have
been Cash Collateralized), the Commitments have been terminated, and, subject to Section 10.01(e)
of the Credit Agreement, no Lender Hedging Agreements are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall, at
the request and expense of the Guarantor following such termination, promptly execute and deliver
to the



Subsidiary Guaranty



Page 5






 









 







Guarantor such documents and instruments as the Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence
termination and release of this Guaranty.




     SECTION 3.3 Administrative Agent and Lenders; Successors and Assigns.



     (a) The Administrative Agent is Administrative Agent for each Lender under the Credit
Agreement. All rights granted to Administrative Agent under or in connection with this Guaranty are
for each Lender’s ratable benefit. The Administrative Agent may, without the joinder of any Lender,
exercise any rights in Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ favor under or in connection with this
Guaranty. The Administrative Agent’s and each Lender’s rights and obligations vis-a-vis each other
may be subject to one or more separate agreements between those parties. However, the Guarantor is
not required to inquire about any such agreement and is not subject to any terms of it unless the
Guarantor specifically enters into such agreement. Therefore, neither the Guarantor nor its
successors or assigns are entitled to any benefits or provisions of any such separate agreement nor
are they entitled to rely upon or raise as a defense any party’s failure or refusal to comply with
the provisions of any such agreement.



     (b) This Guaranty benefits the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective
successors and assigns and binds the Guarantor and its successors and assigns. Upon appointment of
any successor Administrative Agent under the Credit Agreement, all of the rights of Administrative
Agent under this Guaranty automatically vest in that new Administrative Agent as successor
Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders without any further act, deed, conveyance, or other
formality other than that appointment. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under
this Guaranty may be transferred with any assignment of the obligations hereby guaranteed pursuant
to and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement contains
provisions governing assignments of the obligations guaranteed under this Guaranty.



     SECTION 3.4 Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by the Guarantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party against whom it is
sought to be enforced and is in conformity with the requirements of Section 10.01 of the Credit
Agreement. Each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.



     SECTION 3.5 Addresses for Notices to the Guarantor. All notices and other
communications hereunder to the Guarantor shall be in writing and mailed or delivered to it,
addressed to it at the address set forth below or at such other address as shall be designated by
the Guarantor in a written notice to the Administrative Agent at the address specified in the
Credit Agreement complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section. All such notices and
other communications shall, when mailed, be effective when deposited in the mail, addressed as

     SECTION 3.6 No Waiver; Remedies. In addition to, and not in limitation of, Section 2.3
and Section 2.5, no failure on the part of any Lender or any holder of a Note to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of

any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.

Lender or any holder of a Note under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default under or as defined in the Credit Agreement, each Lender and each such
holder shall be entitled to exercise (for the benefit of all Lenders pursuant to Section 10.09 of
the Credit Agreement) any right of offset or banker’s lien against each and every account and other
property or interest that the Guarantor may now or hereafter have with, or which is now or
hereafter in the possession of, any such Lender, to the extent of the full amount of the
Obligations.



     SECTION 3.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be
interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
