WHEREAS, PNMR Development and Management Corporation, a New Mexico corporation (“Borrower”), the lenders party thereto as “Lenders” (such Lenders, together with their respective successors and assigns in such capacity, each, individually, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent are, contemporaneously herewith, entering into that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Credit Agreement”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the Parent Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations shall include all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, Arranger or any Lender, but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable, including due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization, other Bankruptcy Event or similar proceeding involving the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor.

2.    [Reserved.]  
3.    Guaranteed Obligations.  The Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as and  for  its  own  debt,  until  the  final  payment  in  full  thereof,  in  cash,  has  been  made,  (a)  the  due and punctual payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration, or otherwise; it being the intent of the Parent Guarantor that the guaranty set forth herein shall be a guaranty of payment and not a guaranty of collection; and (b) the punctual  and  faithful  performance,  keeping,  observance,  and  fulfillment  by the Borrower of all of the 

2

agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrower contained in the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.
4.    Continuing Guaranty; Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full.  The Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall constitute a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and the Commitments under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guaranties made hereunder shall automatically terminate.  This Guaranty includes Guaranteed Obligations arising under successive transactions continuing, compromising, extending, increasing, modifying, releasing, or renewing the Guaranteed Obligations, changing the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof, or creating new or additional Guaranteed Obligations after prior Guaranteed Obligations have been satisfied in whole or in part.  To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future Guaranteed Obligations.  If such a revocation is effective notwithstanding the foregoing waiver, the Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that (a) no such revocation shall be effective until written notice thereof has been received by the Administrative Agent, (b) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations in existence on the date of receipt by the Administrative Agent of such written notice (including any subsequent continuation, extension, or renewal thereof, or change in the interest rate, payment terms, or other terms and conditions thereof), (c) no such revocation shall apply to any Guaranteed Obligations made or created after such date to the extent made or created pursuant to a legally binding commitment of any Lender in existence on the date of such revocation, (d) no payment by the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower, or from any other source, prior to the date of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of written notice of such revocation shall reduce the maximum obligation of the Parent Guarantor hereunder, and (e) any payment by the Borrower or from any source other than the Parent Guarantor subsequent to the date of such revocation shall first be applied to that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations as to which the revocation is effective and which are not, therefore, guaranteed hereunder, and to the extent so applied shall not reduce the maximum obligation of the Parent Guarantor hereunder.
5.    Performance Under this Guaranty.  In the event that the Borrower fails to make any payment of any Guaranteed Obligations, on or prior to the due date thereof, or if the Borrower shall fail to perform, keep, observe, or fulfill any other obligation referred to in clause (b) of Section 3 of this Guaranty in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, the Parent Guarantor immediately shall cause, as applicable, such payment in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to be made or such obligation to be performed, kept, observed, or fulfilled.
6.    Primary Obligations.  
(a)    This Guaranty is a primary and original obligation of the Parent Guarantor, is not merely the creation of a surety relationship, and is an absolute, unconditional, and continuing guaranty of payment and performance which shall remain in full force and effect without respect to future changes in conditions.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that it is directly, jointly and severally with any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, liable to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Borrower or any other guarantor, and that a separate action may be brought against the Parent Guarantor, whether such action is brought against the Borrower or any other guarantor or whether the Borrower or any other guarantor is joined in such action.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that its liability hereunder shall be immediate and shall not be contingent upon the exercise or enforcement by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of whatever remedies they may have against the Borrower or any other  guarantor,  or  the  enforcement  of  any  lien  or  realization  upon  any  security  by  the  Administrative 

3

Agent or any Lender.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that any release which may be given by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower or any other guarantor (other than a release in connection with the payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations) shall not release the Parent Guarantor.  The Parent Guarantor consents and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any property or assets of the Borrower or any other guarantor in favor of the Parent Guarantor, or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(i)    any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii)    the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which the Parent Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(iii)    the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv)    the election by, or on behalf of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters;
(v)    any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters;
(vi)    the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable federal, state, provincial, municipal, local or foreign law relating to such matters, of all or any portion of the claims of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(vii)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 6(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Parent Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise 

4

reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty other than a payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations (subject to Section 12 below).
7.    Waivers.
(a)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance hereof; (ii) notice of any loans or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Credit Agreement, or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to its right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (iv) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase its risk hereunder; (v) notice of presentment for payment, intent to accelerate, acceleration, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instrument among the Credit Documents; (vi) notice of any Default or Event of Default under any of the Credit Documents; and (vii) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty or any other Credit Documents to which it is a party) and demands to which it might otherwise be entitled.
(b)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives the right by statute or otherwise to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to institute suit against the Borrower or any other guarantor or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender has or may have against the Borrower or any other guarantor.  In this regard, the Parent Guarantor agrees that it is bound to the payment of each and all Guaranteed Obligations, whether now existing or hereafter arising, as fully as if the Guaranteed Obligations were directly owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, by the Parent Guarantor.  The Parent Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash, to the extent of any such payment) of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Borrower in respect thereof.
(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives:  (A) any right to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which it may now or at any time hereafter have against the Borrower or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including any defense based upon an impairment or elimination of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against the Borrower or other guarantors or sureties; (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to its liability hereunder and (E) any election by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Bankruptcy Code to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Parent Guarantor.
(d)    The Parent Guarantor will not exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of its obligations under this Guaranty, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any other guarantor, 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 any other 

5

guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash and all of the Commitments have been terminated.  If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.
(e)    If any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time are secured by a mortgage or deed of trust upon real property, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, upon a default with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or its obligations under this Guaranty, to foreclose such mortgage or deed of trust judicially or nonjudicially in any manner permitted by law, before or after enforcing this Guaranty, without diminishing or affecting the liability of the Parent Guarantor hereunder.  The Parent Guarantor understands that (a) by virtue of the operation of antideficiency law applicable to nonjudicial foreclosures, an election by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to nonjudicially foreclose on such a mortgage or deed of trust probably would have the effect of impairing or destroying its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against the Borrower or other guarantors or sureties, and (b) absent the waiver given by the Parent Guarantor herein, such an election would estop the Administrative Agent or any Lender from enforcing this Guaranty against the Parent Guarantor.  Understanding the foregoing, and understanding that the Parent Guarantor is hereby relinquishing a defense to the enforceability of this Guaranty, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives any right to assert against the Administrative Agent or any Lender any defense to the enforcement of this Guaranty, whether denominated “estoppel” or otherwise, based on or arising from an election by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to nonjudicially foreclose on any such mortgage or deed of trust or as a result of any other exercise of remedies, whether under a mortgage or deed of trust or under any personal property security agreement.  The Parent Guarantor understands that the effect of the foregoing waiver may be that the Parent Guarantor may have liability hereunder for amounts with respect to which it may be left without rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnity against the Borrower or other guarantors or sureties.
(f)    The Parent Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (i) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Parent Guarantor.
8.    Releases.  The Parent Guarantor consents and agrees that, without notice to or by the Parent Guarantor and without affecting or impairing its obligations hereunder, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may, by action or inaction, compromise or settle, shorten or extend the Maturity Date or any other period of duration or the time for the payment of the Borrower Obligations, or discharge the performance  of  the  Borrower  Obligations,  or  may  refuse  to  enforce  the  Borrower  Obligations,  or otherwise elect not to enforce the Borrower Obligations, or may, by action or inaction, release all or any one or more parties to, any one or more of the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents, or may grant other indulgences to the Borrower or any other guarantor in respect thereof, or may amend or modify in any manner and at any time (or from time to time) any one or more of the Borrower Obligations, the Credit Agreement, or any other Credit Document (including any increase or decrease in the principal amount of any Borrower Obligations or the interest, fees or other amounts that may accrue from time to time in respect thereof), or may, by action or inaction, release or substitute the Borrower or any guarantor, if any, of the Guaranteed Obligations, or may enforce, exchange, release, or 

6

waive, by action or inaction, any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any portion thereof.
9.    Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  The Parent Guarantor agrees that any and all of its claims against the Borrower with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties, shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from the Borrower with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness without limitation.  Notwithstanding any right of the Parent Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from the Borrower, all rights, liens and security interests of the Parent Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Borrower shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in those assets.  The Parent Guarantor shall not have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Credit Document have been terminated; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, nothing contained herein shall prevent or limit any distribution or other transfer of any assets from the Borrower to the Parent Guarantor.  If all or any part of the assets of the Borrower, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of the Borrower, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of the Borrower is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of the Borrower are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower to the Parent Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash).  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the Parent Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Parent Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Parent Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Parent Guarantor as the property of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.  If the Parent Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.  The Parent Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Credit Document among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been terminated, it will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim it has or may have against the Borrower.
10.    Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Parent Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

7

11.    No Election.  The Lenders shall have the right to seek recourse against the Parent Guarantor to the fullest extent provided for herein and no election by any Lender to proceed in one form of action or proceeding, or against any party, or on any obligation, shall constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to proceed in any other form of action or proceeding or against other parties unless the Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Lenders, has expressly waived such right in writing.  Specifically, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no action or proceeding by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under any document or instrument evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations shall serve to diminish the liability of the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty except to the extent that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders finally and unconditionally shall have realized indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations by such action or proceeding.
12.    Revival and Reinstatement.  If the incurrence or payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty by the Parent Guarantor or the transfer by the Parent Guarantor to the Administrative Agent of any property of the Parent Guarantor should for any reason subsequently be declared to be void or voidable under any state or federal law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent conveyances, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable payments of money or transfers of property (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in its discretion) (collectively, a “Voidable Transfer”), and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender is required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, or elects to do so upon the reasonable advice of its counsel that the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be required to repay or restore, in whole or in part, any such Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are required or elect to repay or restore, and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders related thereto, the liability of the Parent Guarantor automatically shall be revived, reinstated, and restored and shall exist as though such Voidable Transfer had never been made.
13.    Financial Condition.  The Parent Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it is currently informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Parent Guarantor further represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that it has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document.  The Parent Guarantor hereby covenants that it will continue to keep itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition, the financial condition of other guarantors, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any duty to advise the Parent Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Parent Guarantor, any other Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Lender or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to the Parent Guarantor.  
14.    Payments; Application.  All payments to be made hereunder by the Parent Guarantor shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, and without deduction (except as otherwise required by applicable law) or offset and shall be applied to the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement.  

8

15.    Taxes; Fees and Costs.  
(a)    Taxes.  Section 3.13 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable, mutatis mutandis, to all payments required to be made by the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty.
(b)    Fees and Costs.  The Parent Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each Lender for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement, attempted enforcement, or preservation of any rights or remedies under this Guaranty or the other Credit Documents (including all such costs and expenses incurred during any “workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law), including all reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel.  The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all search, filing, recording, and appraisal charges and fees and taxes related thereto, and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger and the cost of independent public accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender.  The agreements in this Section 15 shall survive the termination of the Commitments and repayment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  
16.    Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable Law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the commencement and continuation of remedies described in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement, each Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind (all of which rights being hereby expressly waived), to set-off and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, branches, agencies or Affiliates of such Lender wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall have made any demand hereunder and although such obligations, liabilities or claims, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, and any such set-off shall be deemed to have been made immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default even though such charge is made or entered on the books of such Lender subsequent thereto.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 16 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender may have.
17.    Notices.  All notices and other communications hereunder to the Administrative Agent shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance with Section 11.1(a) of the Credit Agreement.  All notices and other communications hereunder to the Parent Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be mailed, sent, or delivered in accordance with the following:

18.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.   No  failure  or  delay  on  the  part  of  the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Parent Guarantor, on the one  hand,  and  the  Administrative  Agent  or  any  Lender,  on  the  other  hand,  shall  operate as a waiver 

9

thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.  The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have.
