      seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any

      any demand for
      payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by the Collateral Agent or
      any
      other Secured Party may be rescinded by the Collateral Agent or any other
      Secured Party and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued, (b)
      any Guaranteed
      Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof,
      or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect
      thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended,
      amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released

      Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party upon the guarantee contained in
      this
      Article 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Article 2. The
      Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment, notice
      of
      intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration and notice of default or nonpayment
      to or upon any of the Subsidiary Guarantors with respect to Guaranteed
      Obligations. The Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained
      in this Article 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable
      and
      unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a)
      the validity or
      enforceability or perfection of the Credit Agreement or any other Financing
      Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other collateral security

      set-off or counterclaim whatsoever (other than a defense of payment or
      performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the

      Party, or (c)
      any other
      circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the
      Guarantor, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Credit Party), other than
      payment or performance, which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute,
      an equitable or legal discharge of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor
      for
      any of the Guaranteed Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
      When
      making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies
      hereunder against the Guarantor, the Collateral Agent may, but shall be under
      no
      obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and
      remedies as it may have against any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person
      or
      against any collateral security or guarantee for the Guaranteed Obligations
      or
      any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral
      Agent to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to
      collect any payments from any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or to
      realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such
      right of offset, or any release of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person
      or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve
      the Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair
      or
      affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a
      matter of law, of the Collateral Agent against the Guarantor. For the purposes
      hereof “demand”

      Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
      by
      the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy,
      dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary
      Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor
      or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Guarantor or any
      Subsidiary Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise,

      that
      such a demand is required in order to cause any obligation under this Agreement
      to become due and payable, it being understood that obligations under this
      Agreement shall become due and payable as, and at such time as, provided in

      this
      Article 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and
      unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or
      enforceability or perfection of the Credit Agreement or any other Financing

      (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge
      of
      the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Credit Party), other than

      or
      any other Subsidiary Guarantor for any of its respective portion of the
      Guaranteed Obligations or of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the guarantee
      contained in this Article 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making

      any
      other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral

      respect thereto, and any failure by the Collateral Agent to make any such
      demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments

      such Subsidiary Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall
      not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or
      available as a matter of law, of the Collateral Agent against such Subsidiary
      Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand”

      the
      Collateral Agent nor any Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship with
      or
      duty to such Subsidiary Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this

Section
      2.06
      hereof) of each Subsidiary Guarantor and any other party hereto shall terminate,
      all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.
      At the request and sole expense of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor
      following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute
      and
      deliver to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, such
      agreements, instruments and other documents as such Subsidiary Guarantor shall
      reasonably request to evidence such termination.

     

    (b)
      On the date
      hereof, without further action by any party to this Agreement or the Existing

      Agent shall have the right to take any Enforcement Action with respect to this
      Agreement and all such Enforcement Actions shall be effected solely through
      the
      Collateral Agent. No reference in this Agreement to the Collateral Agent’s
      making a demand for payment under this Agreement shall be construed to mean
      that
      such a demand is required in order to cause any obligation under this Agreement
      to become due and payable, it being understood that obligations under this
      Agreement shall become due and payable as, and at such time as, provided in
      Section
      2.01(a).
