application relating to any material Patents, Trademarks or Copyrights (and to
obtain the relevant grant or registration) and to maintain each registration of
any material Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights used in the conduct of such
Pledgor’s business, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits
of use, affidavits of incontestability and maintenance fees, and, if consistent
with sound business judgment, to initiate opposition, interference and

ARTICLE V 

CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO
PLEDGED INTERESTS 

    
5.1 After-Acquired Equity Interests; Ownership. 

    
(a) If any
Pledgor shall, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof, acquire
any additional capital stock or other Pledged Interests in any Subsidiary of the
types described in the definition of the term “Pledged Interests,” the same shall be
automatically deemed to be Pledged Interests hereunder, and to be pledged to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
2.1 (subject, in the case of Pledged Interests
in Foreign Subsidiaries, to the limitation set forth in the proviso in
Section 2.1(xviii), and such Pledgor will forthwith pledge and deposit the same with the
Administrative Agent and deliver to the Administrative Agent any certificates
therefor, together with undated stock powers or other necessary instruments of
transfer or assignment, duly executed in blank and in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, together with such other
certificates and instruments as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
(including Uniform Commercial Code financing statements or appropriate
amendments thereto), and will promptly thereafter deliver to the Administrative
Agent a fully completed and duly executed amendment to this Agreement in the
form of Exhibit D (each, a “Pledge
Amendment”) in respect thereof. Each Pledgor
hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each such Pledge Amendment
to this Agreement, and agrees that all such Collateral listed on any Pledge
Amendment shall for all purposes be deemed Collateral hereunder and shall be
subject to the provisions hereof; provided that the failure of any
Pledgor to execute and deliver any Pledge Amendment with respect to any such
additional Collateral as required hereinabove shall not impair the security
interest of the Administrative Agent in such Collateral or otherwise adversely
affect the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with
respect thereto. 

16 

    
(b) If any
Pledged Interests (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) included in the
Collateral are “uncertificated securities” within the meaning of the Uniform
Commercial Code or are otherwise not evidenced by any certificate or instrument,
each applicable Pledgor will promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof
and will promptly take and cause to be taken, and will (if the issuer of such
uncertificated securities is a Person other than a Subsidiary of the Borrower)
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the issuer to take, all actions
required under Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and any other
applicable law, to enable the Administrative Agent to acquire “control” of such
uncertificated securities (within the meaning of such term under Section 8-106
(or its successor provision) of the Uniform Commercial Code) and as may be
otherwise necessary to perfect the security interest of the Administrative Agent
therein. 

    
(c) Except
to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by or pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, the Pledgors will cause the Pledged Interests in each issuer pledged
hereunder to constitute at all times 100% of the capital stock or other Pledged
Interests in such issuer, such that the issuer shall be a direct or indirect
Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Parent (subject, in the case of Pledged Interests
in Foreign Subsidiaries, to the limitation set forth in the proviso in
Section 2.1(xviii), and unless the Administrative Agent shall have given its prior written
consent or except as may be expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement, no
Pledgor will cause or permit any such issuer to issue or sell any new capital
stock, any warrants, options or rights to acquire the same, or other Pledged
Interests of any nature to any Person other than such Pledgor, or cause, permit
or consent to the admission of any other Person as a stockholder, partner or
member of any such issuer. 

    
5.2 Voting Rights. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Pledgor shall be entitled to
exercise all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to its Pledged
Interests (subject to its obligations under Section 5.1(a)), and for that purpose
the Administrative Agent will execute and deliver or cause to be executed and
delivered to each applicable Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as
such Pledgor may reasonably request in writing to enable such Pledgor to
exercise such voting and other consensual rights; provided, however, that no Pledgor will cast any
vote, give any consent, waiver or ratification, or take or fail to take any
action, in any manner that would, or could reasonably be expected to, violate or
be inconsistent with any of the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or
any other Credit Document or have the effect of materially and adversely
impairing the position or interests of the Secured Parties. 

17 

    
5.3 Dividends and Other Distributions. So
long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would
occur as a result thereof), and except as provided otherwise herein, all
interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts payable in cash in
respect of the Pledged Interests may be paid to and retained by the Pledgors;
provided,
however,
that all such interest, income, dividends, distributions and other amounts
shall, at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, be paid to the Administrative Agent and retained by it as part of
the Collateral (except to the extent applied upon receipt to the repayment of
the Secured Obligations). The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled at all
times (whether or not during the continuance of an Event of Default) to receive
directly, and to retain as part of the Collateral, (i) all interest, income,
dividends, distributions or other amounts paid or payable in cash or other
property in respect of any Pledged Interests in connection with the
dissolution, liquidation, recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of
the applicable issuer to the extent representing (in the reasonable judgment of
the Administrative Agent) an extraordinary, liquidating or other distribution in
return of capital, (ii) all additional Pledged Interests or other securities or
property (other than cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in
respect of any Pledged Interests in connection with any noncash dividend,
distribution, return of capital, spin-off, stock split, split-up,
reclassification, combination of shares or interests or similar rearrangement,
and (iii) without affecting any restrictions against such actions contained in
the Credit Agreement, all additional Pledged Interests or other securities or
property (including cash) paid or payable or distributed or distributable in
respect of any Pledged Interests in connection with any consolidation, merger,
exchange of securities, liquidation or other reorganization. All interest,
income, dividends, distributions or other amounts that are received by any
Pledgor in violation of the provisions of this Section shall be received in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from
other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith delivered to the
Administrative Agent as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsements). Any and all money and other property paid over to or
received by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be retained by the Administrative Agent in a Collateral Account (as
hereinafter defined) upon receipt of such money or other property and shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2. The Administrative Agent
shall, within five (5) Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured
or waived, repay to each applicable Pledgor all cash interest, income,
dividends, distributions and other amounts that such Pledgor would otherwise be
permitted to retain pursuant to the provisions of this Section and that remain
in such Collateral Account.

irrevocably authorizes and directs each Person who is or
shall be a party to or liable for the performance of any Contract, upon receipt
of notice from the Administrative Agent to the effect that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, to attorn to or otherwise recognize the
Administrative Agent as owner under such Contract and to pay, observe and
otherwise perform the obligations under such Contract to or for the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s designee as though the
Administrative Agent or such designee were such Pledgor named therein, and to do

terms as the Administrative Agent may deem satisfactory. If any of the
Collateral is sold by the Administrative Agent upon credit or for future
delivery, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure of the
purchaser to purchase or pay for the same and, in the event of any such failure,
the Administrative Agent may resell such Collateral. In no event shall any
Pledgor be credited with any part of the Proceeds of sale of any Collateral
until and to the extent cash payment in respect thereof has actually been
received by the Administrative Agent. Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold
the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right of whatsoever kind,
including any equity or right of redemption of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor
hereby expressly waives all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal, and all
rights to require the Administrative Agent to marshal any assets in favor of
such Pledgor or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the
Secured Obligations, that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter adopted. No demand, presentment, protest,
advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law, as
referred to below), all of which are hereby expressly waived by each Pledgor,
shall be required in connection with any sale or other disposition of any part
of the Collateral. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall be required under
applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall
give the applicable Pledgor at least ten (10) days’ prior notice of the time and
place of any public sale and of the time after which any private sale or other
disposition is to be made, which notice each Pledgor agrees is commercially
reasonable. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of
Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that
notice of sale may have been given. The Administrative Agent may, without notice
or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for
sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place
to which the same was so adjourned. Upon each public sale and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, upon each private sale, the Administrative Agent
may purchase all or any of the Collateral being sold, free from any equity,
right of redemption or other claim or demand, and may make payment therefor by
endorsement and application (without recourse) of the Secured Obligations in
lieu of cash as a credit on account of the purchase price for such Collateral.

20 

    
6.2 Application of Proceeds. 

    
(a) All
Proceeds collected by the Administrative Agent upon any sale, other disposition
of or realization upon any of the Collateral, together with all other moneys
received by the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be applied in accordance
with the provisions of Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement. For purposes of
applying amounts in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon any Secured Party that has entered into a Permitted
Hedge Agreement with the Borrower for a determination (which such Secured Party
agrees to provide or cause to be provided upon request of the Administrative
Agent) of the outstanding Secured Obligations owed to such Secured Party under
any such Permitted Hedge Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by
way of written notice from any such Secured Party) to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no
Permitted Hedge Agreements or Secured Obligations in respect thereof are in
existence between any Secured Party and the Borrower. If any Lender or Affiliate
thereof that is a party to a Permitted Hedge Agreement with the Borrower (the
obligations of the Borrower under which are Secured Obligations) ceases to be a
Lender or Affiliate thereof, such former Lender or Affiliate thereof shall
nevertheless continue to be a Secured Party hereunder with respect to the
Secured Obligations under such Permitted Hedge Agreement. 

    
(b) In the
event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Secured Parties are legally
entitled, the Pledgors shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency,
together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any applicable
Credit Document for interest on overdue principal or such other rate as shall be
fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and all other
fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder. 

    
(c) Upon
any sale of any Collateral hereunder by the Administrative Agent (whether by
virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial proceeding, or
otherwise), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or the officer making the
sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the
Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase
money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in
any way for the misapplication thereof. 

21 

    
6.3 Collateral Accounts. Upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent shall have the right to cause to be established and maintained, at its
principal office or such other location or locations as it may establish from
time to time in its discretion, one or more accounts (collectively,
“Collateral Accounts”) for the collection of cash Proceeds of the Collateral. Such
Proceeds, when deposited, shall continue to constitute Collateral for the
Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as
herein provided. The Administrative Agent shall have sole dominion and control
over all funds deposited in any Collateral Account, and such funds may be
withdrawn therefrom only by the Administrative Agent. Upon the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right to (and, if directed by the Required Lenders pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, shall) apply amounts held in the Collateral Accounts in
payment of the Secured Obligations in the manner provided for in Section 6.2. 

    
6.4 Grant of License. Each Pledgor hereby
grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license
(exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to any Pledgor) to
use, license or sublicense any Patent Collateral, Trademark Collateral or
Copyright Collateral now owned or licensed or hereafter acquired or licensed by
such Pledgor, wherever the same may be located throughout the world, for such
term or terms, on such conditions and in such manner as the Administrative Agent
shall determine, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an
exclusive or nonexclusive basis, and including in such license reasonable access
to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to
all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.
The use of such license or sublicense by the Administrative Agent shall be
exercised, at the option of the Administrative Agent, only upon the occurrence
and during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense
or other transaction entered into by the Administrative Agent in accordance
herewith shall be binding upon each applicable Pledgor notwithstanding any
subsequent cure of an Event of Default. 

    
6.5 Private Sales. 

    
(a) Each
Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be compelled, at any time
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to
conduct any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Interests without registering
or qualifying such Pledged Interests under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and/or any applicable state securities laws in effect at
such time. Each Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be made in
such manner and under such circumstances as the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable in its sole and absolute discretion, including at prices
and on terms that might be less favorable than those obtainable through a public
sale without such restrictions (including, without limitation, a public offering
made pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act), and,
notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such sale shall not be
deemed not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner solely because
it was conducted as a private sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent
shall have no obligation to conduct any public sales and no obligation to delay
the sale of any Pledged Interests for the period of time necessary to permit its
registration for public sale under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and shall not have any responsibility
or liability as a result of its election so not to conduct any such public sales
or delay the sale of any Pledged Interests, notwithstanding the possibility that
a substantially higher price might be realized if the sale were deferred until
after such registration. Each Pledgor hereby waives any claims against the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact
that the price at which any Pledged Interests may have been sold at any private
sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or
was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if the
Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such
Pledged Interests to more than one offeree. 

22 

    
(b) Each
Pledgor agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section
will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured
Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no
adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that
each and every covenant contained in this Section shall be specifically
enforceable against the Pledgors. 

    
6.6 The
Pledgors Remain Liable. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, (i) each Pledgor shall remain liable under all
Contracts to which it is a party included within the Collateral (including,
without limitation, all Ownership Agreements) to perform all of its obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (ii)
the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights or remedies
hereunder shall not release any Pledgor from any of its obligations under any of
such Contracts, and (iii) except as specifically provided for hereinbelow, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability by reason of
this Agreement under any of such Contracts, nor shall the Administrative Agent
be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Pledgor
thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment
assigned hereunder. The powers, rights and remedies conferred on the
Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest and privilege
in such Contracts, as Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it to
exercise any such powers, rights or remedies. 

    
6.7 Waivers. Each Pledgor, to the greatest
extent not prohibited by applicable law, hereby (i) agrees that it will not
invoke, claim or assert the benefit of any rule of law or statute now or
hereafter in effect (including, without limitation, any right to prior notice or
judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s possession,
custody or disposition of any Collateral or any appraisal, valuation, stay,
extension, moratorium or redemption law), or take or omit to take any other
action, that would or could reasonably be expected to have the effect of
delaying, impeding or preventing the exercise of any rights and remedies in
respect of the Collateral, the absolute sale of any of the Collateral or the
possession thereof by any purchaser at any sale thereof, and waives the benefit
of all such laws and further agrees that it will not hinder, delay or impede the
execution of any power granted hereunder to the Administrative Agent, but that
it will permit the execution of every such power as though no such laws were in
effect, (ii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or
statute now existing or hereafter adopted to require the Administrative Agent to
marshal any Collateral or other assets in favor of such Pledgor or any other
party or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations, and
(iii) waives all rights that it has or may have under any rule of law or statute
now existing or hereafter adopted to demand, presentment, protest, advertisement
or notice of any kind (except notices expressly provided for herein). In
addition, each Pledgor waives any and all rights of
contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion
of the Collateral by the Administrative Agent. 

23 

ARTICLE VII 

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

    
7.1 The
Administrative Agent; Standard of Care. The
Administrative Agent will hold all items of the Collateral at any time received
under this Agreement in accordance with the provisions hereof. The obligations
of the Administrative Agent as holder of the Collateral and interests therein
and with respect to the disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and the other Credit Documents. The Administrative Agent shall act
hereunder at the direction, or with the consent, of the Required Lenders on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement. The powers conferred on
the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest, on behalf
of the Secured Parties, in the Collateral, and shall not impose any duty upon it
to exercise any such powers. Except for treatment of the Collateral in its
possession in a manner substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative
Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property of a similar nature,
and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral or as to the taking
of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other
rights pertaining to the Collateral. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
other Secured Party shall be liable to any Pledgor (i) for any loss or damage
sustained by such Pledgor, or (ii) for any loss, damage, depreciation or other
diminution in the value of any of the Collateral that may occur as a result of
or in connection with or that is in any way related to any exercise by the
Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy under
this Agreement, any failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the
Collateral or any delay in doing so, or any other act or failure to act on the
part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party, except to the
extent that the same is caused by its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. 

    
7.2 Further Assurances; Attorney-in-Fact.

    
(a) Each
Pledgor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent at any time and
from time to time to file in any filing office in any Uniform Commercial Code
jurisdiction any financing statements and amendments thereto that (i) indicate
the Collateral (x) as all assets of such Pledgor or words of similar effect,
regardless of whether any particular asset included within the Collateral falls
within the scope of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any such
jurisdiction, or (y) as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater
detail, and (ii) provide any other information required by Part 5 of Article 9
of the Uniform Commercial Code for the sufficiency or filing office acceptance
of any financing statement or amendment. 

    
(b) Each
Pledgor agrees that it will do such further acts and things (including, without
limitation, making any notice filings with state tax or revenue authorities
required to be made by account creditors in order to enforce any Accounts in
such state) and to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such
additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably require or deem advisable to perfect,
establish, confirm and maintain the security interest and Lien provided for
herein, to carry out the purposes of this Agreement or
to further assure and confirm unto the Administrative Agent its rights, powers
and remedies hereunder. 

24 

    
(c) Each
Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent its lawful
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and
in the name of such Pledgor, the Administrative Agent or otherwise, and with
full power of substitution in the premises (which power of attorney, being
coupled with an interest, is irrevocable for so long as this Agreement shall be
in effect), from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion after the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (except for the
actions described in clause (i) below, which may be taken by the Administrative
Agent without regard to whether an Event of Default has occurred) to take any
action and to execute any instruments that the Administrative Agent may deem
necessary or advisable to accomplish the purpose of this Agreement, including,
without limitation: 

     (i)
to sign the name of such Pledgor on any financing
statement, continuation statement, notice or other similar document that, in the
Administrative Agent’s opinion, should be made or filed in order to perfect or
continue perfected the security interest granted under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, any title or ownership applications for filing
with applicable state agencies to enable any motor vehicles now or hereafter
owned by such Pledgor to be retitled and the Administrative Agent listed as
lienholder thereon); 

     (ii)
to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover,
compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become
due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; 

     (iii)
to receive, endorse and collect any checks,
drafts, Instruments, Chattel Paper and other orders for the payment of money
made payable to such Pledgor representing any interest, income, dividend,
distribution or other amount payable in respect of any of the Collateral and to
give full discharge for the same; 

     (iv)
to obtain, maintain and adjust any property or
casualty insurance required to be maintained by such Pledgor under Section 6.6
of the Credit Agreement and direct the payment of proceeds thereof to the
Administrative Agent; 

     (v)
to pay or discharge taxes, Liens or other
encumbrances levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, the
legality or validity thereof and the amounts necessary to discharge the same to
be determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, any such
payments made by the Administrative Agent to become Secured Obligations of the
Pledgors to the Administrative Agent, due and payable immediately and without
demand; 

     (vi)
to file any claims or take any action or
institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
advisable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce
the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral;
and 

25 

     (vii)
to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any
agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any and all of the Collateral
as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute
owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do from time to time, at the
Administrative Agent’s option and the Pledgors’ expense, all other acts and
things deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral and to more completely carry out the purposes of
this Agreement. 

    
(d) If any
Pledgor fails to perform any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement
after written request to do so by the Administrative Agent (provided that no
such request shall be necessary at any time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default), the Administrative Agent may itself
perform, or cause the performance of, such covenant or agreement and may take
any other action that it deems necessary and appropriate for the maintenance and
preservation of the Collateral or its security interest therein, and the
reasonable expenses so incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the
Pledgors under Section 8.1. 

ARTICLE VIII 

MISCELLANEOUS 

    
8.1 Indemnity and Expenses. The Pledgors
agree jointly and severally: 

    
(a) To
indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each other Secured Party
and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and
affiliates from and against any and all claims, damages, demands, losses,
obligations, judgments and liabilities (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except
to the extent the same shall arise as a result of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the party seeking to be indemnified; and 

    
(b) To pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent and to
reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by it, in each case in connection with (i) the engagement of
appraisers, consultants, auditors or similar Persons by the Administrative Agent
at any time to render opinions concerning the value of the Collateral, (ii) the
creation, perfection and maintenance of the perfection of the Administrative
Agent’s Liens upon the Collateral, including, without limitation, Lien search,
filing and recording fees, (iii) the custody, use or preservation of, or the
sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral,
including the reasonable expenses of re-taking, holding, preparing for sale or
lease, selling or otherwise disposing of or realizing on the Collateral, (iv)
the exercise or enforcement of any rights or remedies granted hereunder, under
any of the other Credit Documents or otherwise available to it (whether at law,
in equity or otherwise), or (v) the failure by any Pledgor to perform or observe
any of the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, the repayment of any of the Secured
Obligations, the termination of the Commitments and the termination or
expiration of all Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement, the termination
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, and the termination of, and settlement of the Borrower’s obligations under, any
Permitted Hedge Agreement to which any Hedge Party is a party.

26 

    
8.2 No
Waiver. The rights and remedies of the
Secured Parties expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other
rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or
delay on the part of any Secured Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of
dealing between the Pledgors and the Secured Parties or their agents or
employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any Default
or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Pledgor in any case shall
entitle such Pledgor or any other Pledgor to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of
any Secured Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other or further
action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 

    
8.3 Enforcement. By its acceptance of the
benefits of this Agreement, each Lender agrees that this Agreement may be
enforced only by the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions or with
the consent of the Required Lenders as provided for in the Credit Agreement, and
that no Lender shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce
this Agreement or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to
secure the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. 

    
8.4 Amendments, Waivers, etc. No
amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any
departure by any Pledgor from, any provision of this Agreement, shall be
effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and such of the
Lenders as may be required under the provisions of the Credit Agreement to
concur in the action then being taken, and then the same shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

    
8.5 Continuing Security Interest; Term; Successors and Assigns;
Assignment; Termination and Release; Survival.
This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and
shall secure the payment and performance of all of the Secured Obligations as
the same may arise and be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and
after the date hereof, and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the
occurrence of the Termination Requirements (as hereinafter defined), (ii) be
binding upon and enforceable against each Pledgor and its successors and assigns
(provided,
however,
that no Pledgor may sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests,
duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Lenders) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Secured
Party and its successors and assigns. Upon any sale or other disposition by any
Pledgor of any Collateral in a transaction expressly permitted hereunder or
under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other applicable Credit
Document, the Lien and security interest created by this Agreement in and upon
such Collateral shall be automatically released, and upon the satisfaction of
all of the Termination Requirements, this Agreement and the Lien and security
interest created hereby shall terminate (provided that the provisions of
Section 6.7
shall survive the termination of this Agreement); and in
connection with any such release or termination, the Administrative Agent, at
the request and expense of the applicable Pledgor, will execute and deliver to
such Pledgor such documents and instruments evidencing such release or
termination as such Pledgor may reasonably request and will assign, transfer and
deliver to such Pledgor, without recourse and without representation or
warranty, such of the Collateral as may then be in the possession of the
Administrative Agent (or, in the case of any partial release of Collateral, such
of the Collateral so being released as may be in its possession). All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and any Pledgor Accession. For purposes
of this Agreement, “Termination
Requirements” means (x) the payment in full
in cash of the Secured Obligations (other than contingent and indemnification
obligations not then due and payable), (y) the termination of the Commitments
and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit under the Credit
Agreement, and (z) the termination of, and settlement of all obligations of the
Borrower under, each Permitted Hedge Agreement to which any Hedge Party is a
party. 

27 

    
8.6 Additional Pledgors. Each Pledgor
recognizes that the provisions of the Credit Agreement require Persons that
become Subsidiaries of the Borrower (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries), and
that are not already parties hereto, to execute and deliver a Pledgor Accession,
whereupon each such Person shall become a Pledgor hereunder with the same force
and effect as if originally a Pledgor hereunder on the date hereof, and agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise
affected by reason of the same, or by reason of the Administrative Agent’s
actions in effecting the same or in releasing any Pledgor hereunder, in each
case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of such
Pledgor or any other Pledgor. 

    
8.7 Notices. All notices and other
communications provided for hereunder shall be given to the parties in the
manner and subject to the other notice provisions set forth in the Credit
Agreement and the Guaranty. 

    
8.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be
governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General
Obligations Law, but excluding all other choice of law and conflicts of law
rules). 

    
8.9 Severability. To the extent any
provision of this Agreement is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law
of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without
prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the
remaining provisions of this Agreement in any jurisdiction. 

    
8.10 Construction. The headings of the
various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted for
convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in
the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

    
8.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto on
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.

Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2013,
among Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation (the “Borrower”), Krispy Kreme Doughnuts,
Inc. (the “Parent”), the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent (as amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). In
connection with and as a condition to the initial and continued extensions of
credit under the Credit Agreement, (i) the Parent and certain subsidiaries of
the Borrower, pursuant to a Guaranty, dated as of July [__], 2013 (as amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Guaranty”), have guaranteed
the payment in full of the obligations of the Borrower under the Credit
Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement),
and (ii) the Parent, the Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries, pursuant to a
Pledge and Security Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2013 (as amended, modified,
restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Security Agreement”), have granted in
favor of the Administrative Agent a security interest in and Lien upon the
Collateral described therein as security for their obligations under the Credit
Agreement, the Guaranty and the other Credit Documents. Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meanings given to them in the Security
Agreement. 

    
The Borrower has agreed under the Credit Agreement to cause each of its
future direct and indirect subsidiaries (other than Immaterial Subsidiaries) to
become a party to the Guaranty as a guarantor thereunder and to the Security
Agreement as a Pledgor thereunder. The New Pledgor is a direct or indirect
subsidiary of the Borrower and, as required by the Credit Agreement, has become
a guarantor under the Guaranty as of the date hereof. The New Pledgor will
obtain benefits as a result of the continued extension of credit to the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement, which benefits are hereby acknowledged, and,
accordingly, desire to execute and deliver this Accession. Therefore, in
consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and to induce the
Lenders to continue to extend credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement,
the New Pledgor hereby agrees as follows: 

    
1. The New Pledgor hereby joins in and agrees to be bound by each and all
of the provisions of the Security Agreement as a Pledgor thereunder. In
furtherance (and without limitation) of the foregoing, pursuant to Section 2.1
of the Security Agreement, and as security for all of the Secured Obligations,
the New Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns and delivers to the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a Lien
upon and security interest in, all of its right, title and interest in and to
the Collateral as set forth in Section 2.1 of the
Security Agreement, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
the Security Agreement. 

    
2. The New Pledgor hereby represents and warrants that (i)
Schedule 1
hereto sets forth all information required to be listed on Annexes A, B, C, D,
E, F, G, H and I to the Security Agreement in order to make each representation
and warranty contained in Sections 3.1 and 3.2 of the Security Agreement true
and correct with respect to the New Pledgor as of the date hereof and after
giving effect to this Accession and (ii) after giving effect to this Accession
and to the incorporation into such Annexes, as applicable, of the information
set forth in Schedule 1, each representation and warranty contained in Article
III of the Security Agreement is true and correct with respect to the New
Pledgor as of the date hereof, as if such representations and warranties were
set forth at length herein. 

    
3. This Accession shall be a Credit Document (within the meaning of such
term under the Credit Agreement), shall be binding upon and enforceable against
the New Pledgor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by each Secured Party and its successors and assigns. This
Accession and its attachments are hereby incorporated into the Security
Agreement and made a part thereof.

New Pledgor has caused this Accession to be executed under seal by its duly
authorized officer as of the date first above written.

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT,
dated as of the 12th day of July, 2013 (this “Guaranty”), is made by
KRISPY KREME DOUGHNUTS, INC., a North Carolina corporation (the “Parent”), each of the
undersigned Subsidiaries of KRISPY KREME
DOUGHNUT CORPORATION, a North Carolina
corporation (the “Borrower”), and each other Subsidiary of the Borrower that, after the
date hereof, executes an instrument of accession hereto substantially in the
form of Exhibit A (a “Guarantor
Accession”; the undersigned and such other
Subsidiaries of the Borrower, collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors,” and together
with the Parent, the “Guarantors”), in favor of the
Guaranteed Parties (as hereinafter defined). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings
given to them in the Credit Agreement referred to below. 

RECITALS 

    
A. The
Borrower, the Parent, certain Lenders, and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, the
“Administrative Agent”), are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of July 12, 2013 (as
amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”), providing for the availability of certain credit facilities to the
Borrower upon the terms and conditions set forth therein. 

    
B. It is a
condition to the extension of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement
that each Guarantor shall have agreed, by executing and delivering this
Guaranty, to guarantee to the Guaranteed Parties the payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations (as hereinafter defined). The Guaranteed Parties are
relying on this Guaranty in their decision to extend credit to the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement, and would not enter into the Credit Agreement
without this Guaranty. 

    
C. The
Borrower and the Guarantors are engaged in related businesses and undertake
certain activities and operations on an integrated basis. As part of such
integrated operations, the Borrower, among other things, will advance to the
Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time certain proceeds of the Loans made to
the Borrower by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement. The Parent owns all of
the issued and outstanding equity interests in the Borrower. Each Guarantor will
therefore obtain benefits as a result of the extension of credit to the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement, which benefits are hereby acknowledged, and,
accordingly, desires to execute and deliver this Guaranty. 

1 

STATEMENT OF AGREEMENT

    
NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, to induce the
Guaranteed Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and to induce the Lenders
to extend credit to the Borrower thereunder, each Guarantor hereby agrees as
follows: 

    
1. Definitions. For purposes of this
Guaranty, in addition to the terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms
have the meanings set forth below (such meanings to be equally applicable to the
singular and plural forms thereof): 

    
“Commodity Exchange Act” means the Commodity Exchange Act (7 U.S.C. § 1 et seq.) and
any successor statute. 

    
“Excluded Swap
Obligation” means, with respect to any
Guarantor, any Swap Obligation if, and to the extent that, all or a portion of
guarantee of such Guarantor of, or the grant by such Guarantor of a security
interest to secure, such Swap Obligation (or any guarantee thereof) is or
becomes illegal under the Commodity Exchange Act or any rule, regulation or
order of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (or the application or
official interpretation of any thereof) by virtue of such Guarantor’s failure
for any reason to constitute an “eligible contract participant” as defined in
the Commodity Exchange Act and the regulations thereunder at the time the
guarantee of such Guarantor or the grant of such security interest becomes
effective with respect to such Swap Obligation. If a Swap Obligation arises
under a master agreement governing more than one swap, such exclusion shall
apply only to the portion of such Swap Obligation that is attributable to swaps
for which such guarantee or security interest is or becomes illegal. 

    
“Qualified ECP” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Credit Party
that is party hereto and (i) has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time
the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes
effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or (ii) otherwise constitutes an
“eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any
regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another person to qualify as an
“eligible contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under
Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

    
“Swap Obligation” means, with respect to any Guarantor, any obligation to pay
or perform under any agreement, contract or transaction that constitutes a
“swap” within the meaning of Section 1a(47) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

2 

    
2. Guaranty. 

    
(a) Each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally, and jointly and
severally: 

     (i)
guarantees (A) to the Lenders (including the
Issuing Lender and the Swingline Lender in their capacities as such) and the
Administrative Agent (together with any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender)
in the capacity described in clause (B) below, collectively, the
“Guaranteed Parties”) the full and prompt payment, at any time and from time to time
as and when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise),
of all Obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other
Credit Documents, including, without limitation, all principal of and interest
on the Loans, all Reimbursement Obligations, all fees, expenses, indemnities and
other amounts payable by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement or any other
Credit Document (including interest accruing after the filing of a petition or
commencement of a case by or with respect to the Borrower seeking relief under
any Insolvency Laws (as hereinafter defined), whether or not the claim for such
interest is allowed in such proceeding), and all Obligations that, but for the
operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code,
would become due (other than Excluded Swap Obligations), and (B) to each
applicable Lender or Affiliate of any Lender in its capacity as a Hedge Party
under any Hedge Agreement that is required or permitted by the Credit Agreement
to be entered into by the Borrower (a “Permitted Hedge Agreement”), all
obligations of the Borrower under such Permitted Hedge Agreement (other than
Excluded Swap Obligations), in each case under (A) and (B) whether now existing
or hereafter created or arising and whether direct or indirect, absolute or
contingent, due or to become due (all liabilities and obligations described in
this clause (i), collectively, the “Guaranteed
Obligations”); and 

     (ii)
agrees to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel to, and reimburse upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred
or paid by, (y) any Guaranteed Party in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding to enforce or protect any rights of the Guaranteed Parties hereunder
and (z) the Administrative Agent in connection with any amendment, modification
or waiver hereof or consent pursuant hereto, and to indemnify and hold each
Guaranteed Party and its directors, officers, employees, agents and Affiliates
harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, obligations,
liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever,
whether direct, indirect or consequential, that may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any such indemnified party as a result of,
arising from or in any way relating to this Guaranty or the collection or
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, that no indemnified party
shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for any such claims, losses,
costs and expenses to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of such indemnified party. 

    
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a) above and
notwithstanding any other provisions contained herein or in any other Credit
Document: 

     (i)
no provision of this Guaranty shall require or
permit the collection from any Guarantor of interest in excess of the maximum
rate or amount that such Guarantor may be required or permitted to pay pursuant
to applicable law; and 

3 

     (ii)
the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under
this Guaranty as of any date shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount (the
“Maximum Guaranteed Amount”) equal to the greatest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty subject to avoidance, discharge or reduction as
of such date as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under any Debtor Relief Laws
or any fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance laws (collectively,
“Insolvency Laws”), in each instance after giving effect to all other liabilities of such
Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under applicable
Insolvency Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such
Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to the Borrower or any of its
Affiliates to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount
equal to the amount paid by such Guarantor hereunder, and after giving effect as
assets to the value (as determined under applicable Insolvency Laws) of any
rights to subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar rights
of such Guarantor pursuant to (y) applicable law or (z) any agreement (including
this Guaranty) providing for an equitable allocation among such Guarantor and
other Affiliates of the Borrower of obligations arising under guaranties by such
parties). 

    
(c) The
Subsidiary Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves, in a fair and
equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in
the event any payment or distribution is made hereunder on any date by a
Subsidiary Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair
Share (as hereinafter defined) as of such date, that Funding Guarantor shall be
entitled to a contribution from each of the other Subsidiary Guarantors in the
amount of such other Guarantor’s Fair Share Shortfall (as hereinafter defined)
as of such date, with the result that all such contributions will cause each
Subsidiary Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments (as hereinafter defined) to equal its
Fair Share as of such date. “Fair
Share” means, with respect to a Subsidiary
Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of
(x) the Adjusted Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as hereinafter defined) with respect
to such Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Guaranteed
Amounts with respect to all Subsidiary Guarantors, multiplied by (ii) the
aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding
Guarantors hereunder in respect of the obligations guarantied. “Fair Share Shortfall”
means, with respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination,
the excess, if any, of the Fair Share of such Guarantor over the Aggregate
Payments of such Guarantor. “Adjusted Maximum
Guaranteed Amount” means, with respect to a
Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination, the Maximum Guaranteed
Amount of such Guarantor, determined in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (b) above; provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted
Maximum Guaranteed Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this
subsection (c), any assets or liabilities arising by virtue of any rights to
subrogation, reimbursement or indemnity or any rights to or obligations of
contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such
Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with
respect to a Subsidiary Guarantor as of any date of determination, the aggregate
amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such
Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect
of this subsection (c)). The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be
determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made
by the applicable Funding Guarantor. Each Funding Guarantor’s right of
contribution under this subsection (c) shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 5.
The allocation among Subsidiary Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in
this subsection (c) shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of
any Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder to the Guaranteed Parties. 

    
(d) The
guaranty of each Guarantor set forth in this Section is a guaranty of payment as
a primary obligor, and not a guaranty of collection. Each Guarantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations, at any time and from
time to time, may exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount
of such Guarantor and may exceed the aggregate of the Maximum Guaranteed Amounts
of all Guarantors, in each case without discharging, limiting or otherwise
affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder or the rights, powers and
remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder or under any other Credit Document.

4 

    
(e) Each
Qualified ECP hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed
from time to time by each Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this
Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations; provided, however, that each Qualified ECP shall
only be liable under this Section
2(e) for the maximum amount of such liability
that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this
Section 2(e), or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law
relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any
greater amount. The obligations of each Qualified ECP under this Section 2(e) shall remain
in full force and effect until satisfaction of all of the Termination
Requirements. Each Qualified ECP intends that this Section 2(e) constitute, and this
Section 2(e) shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement”
for the benefit of each Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II)
of the Commodity Exchange Act. 

    
3. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor
agrees that its obligations hereunder and under the other Credit Documents to
which it is a party are irrevocable, absolute and unconditional, are independent
of the Guaranteed Obligations and any Collateral or other security therefor or
other guaranty or liability in respect thereof, whether given by such Guarantor
or any other Person, and shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise affected
by reason of any of the following, whether or not such Guarantor has notice or
knowledge thereof: 

     (i)
any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, any Guaranteed Obligations or any guaranty
or other liability in respect thereof, or any amendment, modification or
supplement to, restatement of, or consent to any rescission or waiver of or
departure from, any provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the
foregoing; 

     (ii)
the invalidity or unenforceability of any
Guaranteed Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof or
any provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document or any
agreement or instrument delivered pursuant to any of the foregoing; 

     (iii)
the addition or release of Guarantors hereunder
or the taking, acceptance or release of other guarantees of any Guaranteed
Obligations or additional Collateral or other security for any Guaranteed
Obligations or for any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof;

     (iv)
any discharge, modification, settlement,
compromise or other action in respect of any Guaranteed Obligations or any
guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, including any acceptance or
refusal of any offer or performance with respect to the same or the
subordination of the same to the payment of any other obligations; 

5 

     (v)
any agreement not to pursue or enforce or any
failure to pursue or enforce (whether voluntarily or involuntarily as a result
of operation of law, court order or otherwise) any right or remedy in respect of
any Guaranteed Obligations, any guaranty or other liability in respect thereof
or any Collateral or other security for any of the foregoing; any sale,
exchange, release, substitution, compromise or other action in respect of any
such Collateral or other security; or any failure to create, protect, perfect,
secure, insure, continue or maintain any Liens in any such Collateral or other
security; 

     (vi)
the exercise of any right or remedy available
under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise in respect of any
Collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations or for any guaranty
or other liability in respect thereof, in any order and by any manner thereby
permitted, including, without limitation, foreclosure on any such Collateral or
other security by any manner of sale thereby permitted, whether or not every
aspect of such sale is commercially reasonable; 

     (vii)
any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, insolvency, dissolution, termination, reorganization or like change
in the corporate structure or existence of the Borrower or any other Person
directly or indirectly liable for any Guaranteed Obligations; 

     (viii)
any manner of application of any payments by or
amounts received or collected from any Person, by whomsoever paid and howsoever
realized, whether in reduction of any Guaranteed Obligations or any other
obligations of the Borrower or any other Person directly or indirectly liable
for any Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of what Guaranteed Obligations may
remain unpaid after any such application; or 

     (ix)
any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or a defense, set-off or
counterclaim available to, the Borrower, any Guarantor or a surety or guarantor
generally, other than the occurrence of all of the following: (x) the payment in
full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent and
indemnification obligations not then due and payable), (y) the termination of
the Commitments and the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit under
the Credit Agreement, and (z) the termination of, and settlement of all
obligations of the Borrower under, each Permitted Hedge Agreement to which any
Hedge Party is a party (the events in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above,
collectively, the “Termination Requirements”). 

    
4. Certain Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby
knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waives: 

     (i)
presentment, demand for payment, demand for
performance, protest and notice of any other kind, including, without
limitation, notice of nonpayment or other nonperformance (including notice of
default under any Credit Document with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations),
protest, dishonor, acceptance hereof, extension of additional credit to the
Borrower and of any of the matters referred to in Section 3 and of any rights to consent
thereto; 

6 

     (ii)
any right to require the Guaranteed Parties or
any of them, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor
hereunder, to proceed against, or to exhaust or have resort to any Collateral or
other security from or any deposit balance or other credit in favor of, the
Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable
for any Guaranteed Obligations, or to pursue any other remedy or enforce any
other right; and any other defense based on an election of remedies with respect
to any Collateral or other security for any Guaranteed Obligations or for any
guaranty or other liability in respect thereof, notwithstanding that any such
election (including any failure to pursue or enforce any rights or remedies) may
impair or extinguish any right of indemnification, contribution, reimbursement
or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower,
any other Guarantor or any other Person directly or indirectly liable for any
Guaranteed Obligations or any such Collateral or other security; 

     (iii)
any right or defense based on or arising by
reason of any right or defense of the Borrower or any other Person, including,
without limitation, any defense based on or arising from a lack of authority or
other disability of the Borrower or any other Person, the invalidity or
unenforceability of any Guaranteed Obligations, any Collateral or other security
therefor or any Credit Document or other agreement or instrument delivered
pursuant thereto, or the cessation of the liability of the Borrower for any
reason other than the satisfaction of the Termination Requirements; 

     (iv)
any defense based on any Guaranteed Party’s acts
or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, any guaranty
or other liability in respect thereof or any Collateral or other security for
any of the foregoing, and promptness, diligence or any requirement that any
Guaranteed Party create, protect, perfect, secure, insure, continue or maintain
any Liens in any such Collateral or other security; 

     (v)
any right to assert against any Guaranteed Party,
as a defense, counterclaim, crossclaim or set-off, any defense, counterclaim,
claim, right of recoupment or set-off that it may at any time have against any
Guaranteed Party (including, without limitation, failure of consideration,
fraud, fraudulent inducement, statute of limitations, payment, accord and
satisfaction and usury), other than compulsory counterclaims and other than the
payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; and 

     (vi)
any defense based on or afforded by any
applicable law that limits the liability of or exonerates guarantors or sureties
or that may in any other way conflict with the terms of this Guaranty.

7 

    
5. No
Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby waives,
and agrees that it will not exercise or seek to exercise, any claim or right
that it may have against the Borrower or any other Guarantor at any time as a
result of any payment made under or in connection with this Guaranty or the
performance or enforcement hereof, including any right of subrogation to the
rights of any of the Guaranteed Parties against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor, any right of indemnity, contribution or reimbursement against the
Borrower or any other Guarantor (including rights of contribution as set forth
in Section 2(c)), any right to enforce any remedies of any Guaranteed Party
against the Borrower or any other Guarantor, or any benefit of, or any right to
participate in, any Collateral or other security held by any Guaranteed Party to
secure payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether such claims
or rights arise by contract, statute (including without limitation any Debtor
Relief Law), common law or otherwise; provided, however, that a Subsidiary Guarantor
may enforce the rights of contribution set forth in Section 2(c) after satisfaction of the
Termination Requirements. Each Guarantor further agrees that all indebtedness
and other obligations, whether now or hereafter existing, of the Borrower or any
other Subsidiary of the Borrower to such Guarantor, including, without
limitation, any such indebtedness in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law
and any intercompany receivables, together with any interest thereon, shall be,
and hereby are, subordinated and made junior in right of payment to the
Guaranteed Obligations; provided that at any time an Event of
Default does not exist, payments and distributions may be paid to (and received
by) such Guarantor. Each Guarantor further agrees that if any amount shall be
paid to or any distribution received by any Guarantor (i) on account of any such
indebtedness at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, or (ii) on account of any rights of contribution at any time
prior to the satisfaction of the Termination Requirements, such amount or
distribution shall be deemed to have been received and to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, and shall forthwith be delivered to the
Administrative Agent in the form received (with any necessary endorsements in
the case of written instruments), to be applied against the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether or not matured, in accordance with the terms of the
applicable Credit Documents and without in any way discharging, limiting or
otherwise affecting the liability of such Guarantor under any other provision of
this Guaranty. Additionally, in the event the Borrower or any other Credit Party
becomes a “debtor” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled, at its option, on behalf of the Guaranteed Parties and
as attorney-in-fact for each Guarantor, and is hereby authorized and appointed
by each Guarantor, to file proofs of claim on behalf of each relevant Guarantor
and vote the rights of each such Guarantor in any plan of reorganization, and to
demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment and distribution on any
indebtedness of the Borrower or such Credit Party to any Guarantor in any such
proceeding, each Guarantor hereby assigning to the Administrative Agent all of
its rights in respect of any such claim, including the right to receive payments
and distributions in respect thereof. 

    
6. Representations and Warranties. Each
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Guaranteed Parties that, as to
itself, all of the representations and warranties relating to it contained in
the Credit Agreement are true and correct. 

    
7. Financial Condition of Borrower. Each
Guarantor represents that it has knowledge of the Borrower’s financial condition
and affairs and that it has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on an
ongoing basis information relating thereto and to the Borrower’s ability to pay
and perform the Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility
for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect
with respect to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed
Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or
affairs of the Borrower for the benefit of any Guarantor nor to advise any
Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or
affairs of the Borrower that might become known to any Guaranteed Party at any
time, whether or not such Guaranteed Party knows or believes or has reason to
know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to any Guarantor, or
might (or does) materially increase the risk of any Guarantor as guarantor, or might (or would) affect the willingness of any
Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

8 

    
8. Payments; Application; Set-Off.

    
(a) Each
Guarantor agrees that, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and without
limitation of any other right or remedy that any Guaranteed Party may have at
law, in equity or otherwise against such Guarantor, such Guarantor will, subject
to the provisions of Section
2(b), forthwith pay or cause to be paid to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, an amount
equal to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due and owing as
aforesaid. 

    
(b) All
payments made by each Guarantor hereunder will be made in Dollars to the
Administrative Agent, without set-off, counterclaim or other defense and, in
accordance with the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction
for any Taxes, each Guarantor hereby agreeing to comply with and be bound by the
provisions of the Credit Agreement in respect of all payments made by it
hereunder. 

    
(c) All
payments made hereunder shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.12 of the Credit Agreement. For purposes of applying amounts in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon any Guaranteed Party that has entered into a Permitted Hedge Agreement with
the Borrower for a determination (which such Guaranteed Party agrees to provide
or cause to be provided upon request of the Administrative Agent) of the
outstanding Guaranteed Obligations owed to such Guaranteed Party under any such
Permitted Hedge Agreement. Unless it has actual knowledge (including by way of
written notice from any such Guaranteed Party) to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent, in acting hereunder, shall be entitled to assume that no
Permitted Hedge Agreements or Guaranteed Obligations in respect thereof are in
existence between any Guaranteed Party and the Borrower. If any Lender or
Affiliate thereof that is a party to a Permitted Hedge Agreement with the
Borrower (the obligations of the Borrower under which are Guaranteed
Obligations) ceases to be a Lender or Affiliate thereof, such former Lender or
Affiliate thereof shall nevertheless continue to be a Guaranteed Party hereunder
with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations under such Permitted Hedge Agreement.

    
(d) In the
event that the proceeds of any such sale, disposition or realization are
insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Guaranteed Parties are legally
entitled, the Guarantors shall be jointly and severally liable for the
deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in any
applicable Credit Document for interest on overdue principal or such other rate
as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and
all other fees, costs and expenses payable hereunder. 

9 

    
(e) Upon
and at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, each Guaranteed Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Guaranteed Party or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
any Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Guarantor now or
hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document to such
Guaranteed Party, irrespective of whether or not such Guaranteed Party shall
have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Credit Document and
although such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch or office of such Guaranteed Party different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The
rights of each Guaranteed Party and their respective Affiliates under this
subsection are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights
of setoff) that such Guaranteed Parties or their respective Affiliates may have.
Each Guaranteed Party agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the
validity of such setoff and application. 

    
9. No
Waiver. The rights and remedies of the
Guaranteed Parties expressly set forth in this Guaranty and the other Credit
Documents are cumulative and in addition to, and not exclusive of, all other
rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise. No failure or
delay on the part of any Guaranteed Party in exercising any right, power or
privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or be
construed to be a waiver of any Default or Event of Default. No course of
dealing between any of the Guarantors and the Guaranteed Parties or their agents
or employees shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of
this Guaranty or any other Credit Document or to constitute a waiver of any
Default or Event of Default. No notice to or demand upon any Guarantor in any
case shall entitle such Guarantor or any other Guarantor to any other or further
notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the
right of any Guaranteed Party to exercise any right or remedy or take any other
or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. 

    
10. Enforcement. The Guaranteed Parties
agree that, except as provided in Section
8(e), this Guaranty may be enforced only by
the Administrative Agent, acting upon the instructions or with the consent of
the Required Lenders as provided for in the Credit Agreement, and that no
Guaranteed Party shall have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce
this Guaranty or to realize upon any Collateral or other security given to
secure the payment and performance of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder. The
obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought against each
Guarantor whether or not action is brought against the Borrower or any other
Guarantor and whether or not the Borrower or any other Guarantor is joined in
any such action. Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent all or part of any
payment of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Person is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid by or on behalf of any Guaranteed Party to a trustee, receiver or any
other party under any Insolvency Laws (the amount of any such payment, a
“Reclaimed Amount”), then, to the extent of such Reclaimed Amount, this Guaranty shall
continue in full force and effect or be revived and reinstated, as the case may
be, as to the Guaranteed Obligations intended to be satisfied as if such payment
had not been received; and each Guarantor acknowledges that the term “Guaranteed
Obligations” includes all Reclaimed Amounts that may arise from time to time.

10 

    
11. Amendments, Waivers, etc. No
amendment, modification, waiver, discharge or termination of, or consent to any
departure by any Guarantor from, any provision of this Guaranty, shall be
effective unless in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent and such of the
Lenders as may be required under the provisions of the Credit Agreement to
concur in the action then being taken, and then the same shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

    
12. Addition, Release of Guarantors. Each
Guarantor recognizes that the provisions of the Credit Agreement require Persons
that become Subsidiaries of the Borrower and that are not already parties hereto
to become Guarantors hereunder by executing a Guarantor Accession, and agrees
that its obligations hereunder shall not be discharged, limited or otherwise
affected by reason of the same, or by reason of the Administrative Agent’s
actions in effecting the same or in releasing any Guarantor hereunder, in each
case without the necessity of giving notice to or obtaining the consent of any
other Guarantor. 

    
13. Continuing Guaranty; Term; Successors and Assigns; Assignment;
Survival. This Guaranty is a continuing
guaranty and covers all of the Guaranteed Obligations as the same may arise and
be outstanding at any time and from time to time from and after the date hereof,
and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until satisfaction of all of the
Termination Requirements (provided that the provisions of
Sections 2(a)(ii) and 5 shall survive any termination of this Guaranty), (ii) be binding upon
and enforceable against each Guarantor and its successors and assigns
(provided,
however,
that no Guarantor may sell, assign or transfer any of its rights, interests,
duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
Lenders) and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each Guaranteed
Party and its successors and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause
(iii) above, any Guaranteed Party may, in accordance with the provisions of the
Credit Agreement, assign all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations held by
it (including by the sale of participations), whereupon each Person that becomes
the holder of any such Guaranteed Obligations shall (except as may be otherwise
agreed between such Guaranteed Party and such Person) have and may exercise all
of the rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Guaranteed Party
under this Guaranty or otherwise. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives
notice of and consents in advance to the assignment as provided above from time
to time by any Guaranteed Party of all or any portion of the Guaranteed
Obligations held by it and of the corresponding rights and interests of such
Guaranteed Party hereunder in connection therewith. All representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Guaranty and any Guarantor Accession. 

    
14. Waiver of Consequential Damages. To
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor and each Related
Party of any Guarantor shall not assert, and each hereby waives, any claim
against the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender, and
each Related Party of any of the foregoing persons, as applicable, on any theory
of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of, this Guaranty, any other Credit Document or any agreement or
instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby,
any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof. 

11 

    
15. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction; Appointment of Borrower as
Representative, Process Agent,
Attorney-in-Fact. 

    
(a) This
Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York (including Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the
New York General Obligations Law, but excluding all other choice of law and
conflicts of law rules). 

    
(b) Each
Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property,
to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of North Carolina
sitting in Mecklenburg County and of the United States District Court of the
Western District of North Carolina, and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any
other Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and
each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all
claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined
in such state court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable 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 Guaranty or in any other Credit Document shall affect any right
that any Guaranteed Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding
relating to this Guaranty or any other Credit Document against any Guarantor or
its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction. 

    
(c) Each
Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to
the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Guaranty or any other Credit Document in any court referred to in
Section 15(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the
maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court. 

    
(d) Each
Guarantor hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Borrower as its
designee, appointee and agent to receive on its behalf all service of process in
any such action or proceeding and any other notice or communication hereunder,
irrevocably consents to service of process in any such action or proceeding by
registered or certified mail directed to the Borrower at its address set forth
in the Credit Agreement (and service so made shall be deemed to be completed
upon the earlier of actual receipt thereof or three (3) business days after
deposit in the United States mails, proper postage prepaid and properly
addressed), and irrevocably agrees that service so made shall be effective and
binding upon such Guarantor in every respect and that any other notice or
communication given to the Borrower at the address and in the manner specified
herein shall be effective notice to such Guarantor. Nothing in this Section
shall affect the right of any party to serve legal process in any other manner
permitted by law or affect the right of any Guaranteed Party to bring any action
or proceeding against any Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

12 

    
(e) Further, each Guarantor does hereby irrevocably make, constitute and
appoint the Borrower as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full
authority in its place and stead and in its name, the Borrower’s name or
otherwise, and with full power of substitution in the premises, from time to
time in the Borrower’s discretion to agree on behalf of, and sign the name of,
such Guarantor to any amendment, modification or supplement to,
restatement of, or waiver or consent in connection with, this Guaranty, any
other Credit Document or any document or instrument pursuant hereto or thereto,
and to take any other action and do all other things on behalf of such Guarantor
that the Borrower may deem necessary or advisable to carry out and accomplish
the purposes of this Guaranty and the other Credit Documents. The Borrower will
not be liable for any act or omission nor for any error of judgment or mistake
of fact unless the same shall occur as a result of the gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Borrower. This power, being coupled with an interest,
is irrevocable by any Guarantor for so long as this Guaranty shall be in effect
with respect to such Guarantor. By its signature hereto, the Borrower consents
to its appointment as provided for herein and agrees promptly to distribute all
process, notices and other communications to each Guarantor. 

    
16. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY
HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON
CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY
OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON 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 GUARANTY AND THE OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL
WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION. 

    
17. Notices. All notices and other
communications provided for herein shall be in writing and shall be delivered by
hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or
sent by telecopier as follows: (a) if to any Guarantor, in care of the Borrower
and at the Borrower’s address for notices set forth in the Credit Agreement, and
(b) if to any Guaranteed Party, at its address for notices set forth in the
Credit Agreement; in each case, as such addresses may be changed from time to
time pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and with copies to such other Persons as
may be specified under the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Notices sent by
hand or overnight courier service, or mailed by certified or registered mail,
shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices sent by telecopier
shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during
normal business hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at
the opening of business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices
delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in the Credit
Agreement shall be effective as provided therein. 

    
18. Severability. To the extent any
provision of this Guaranty is prohibited by or invalid under the applicable law
of any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of
such prohibition or invalidity and only in such jurisdiction, without
prohibiting or invalidating such provision in any other jurisdiction or the
remaining provisions of this Guaranty in any jurisdiction. 

13 

    
19. Construction. The headings of the
various sections and subsections of this Guaranty have been inserted for
convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or construction of
any of the provisions hereof. Unless the context otherwise requires, words in
the singular include the plural and words in the plural include the singular.

    
20. Counterparts; Effectiveness. This
Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered
shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the
same instrument. This Guaranty shall become effective, as to any Guarantor, upon
the execution and delivery by such Guarantor of a counterpart hereof or a
Guarantor Accession. 

14 

     IN WITNESS
WHEREOF, the parties have caused this
Guaranty to be executed under seal by their duly authorized officers as of the

EXHIBIT A 

GUARANTOR ACCESSION 

    
THIS GUARANTOR ACCESSION (this “Accession”), dated as of _____________, ____, is executed and delivered by
[NAME OF NEW GUARANTOR], a ______________corporation (the “New Guarantor”), pursuant to the
Guaranty Agreement referred to hereinbelow. 

    
Reference is made to the Credit Agreement, dated as of July [__], 2013,
among Krispy Kreme Doughnut Corporation (the “Borrower”), Krispy Kreme Doughnuts,
Inc. (the “Parent”), the Lenders party thereto, and the Administrative Agent (as amended,
modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). In
connection with and as a condition to the initial and continued extensions of
credit under the Credit Agreement, the Parent, the Borrower and certain of its
Subsidiaries have executed and delivered a Guaranty Agreement, dated as of July
[__], 2013 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time,
the “Guaranty Agreement”), pursuant to which the Parent and such Subsidiaries have
guaranteed the payment in full of the obligations of the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents (as defined in the Credit
Agreement). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the
meanings given to them in the Guaranty Agreement. 

    
The Borrower has agreed under the Credit Agreement to cause each of its
future Domestic Subsidiaries to become a party to the Guaranty Agreement as a
guarantor thereunder. The New Guarantor is a Domestic Subsidiary of the
Borrower. The New Guarantor will obtain benefits as a result of the continued
extension of credit to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement, which benefits
are hereby acknowledged, and, accordingly, desire to execute and deliver this
Accession. Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, and to induce the Lenders to continue to extend credit to the
Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the New Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

    
1. The New
Guarantor hereby joins in and agrees to be bound by each and all of the
provisions of the Guaranty Agreement as a Guarantor thereunder. In furtherance
(and without limitation) of the foregoing, pursuant to Section 2 of the Guaranty
Agreement, the New Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally,
and jointly and severally with each other Guarantor, guarantees to the
Guaranteed Parties the full and prompt payment, at any time and from time to
time as and when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or
otherwise), of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, and agrees to pay or reimburse
upon demand all other obligations of the Guarantors under the Guaranty
Agreement, all on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the
Guaranty Agreement. 

    
2. The New
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants that after giving effect to this
Accession, each representation and warranty
related to it contained in the Credit Agreement is true and correct with respect
to the New Guarantor as of the date hereof. 

    
3. This
Accession shall be a Credit Document (within the meaning of such term under the
Credit Agreement), shall be binding upon and enforceable against the New
Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and
be enforceable by each Guaranteed Party and its successors and assigns. This
Accession and its attachments are hereby incorporated into the Guaranty
Agreement and made a part thereof. 

    
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
New Guarantor has caused this Accession to be executed under seal by its duly
authorized officer as of the date first above written.
