3.         Guaranty of Collection and Not of Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement is a guaranty of collection and not of payment, and the Parent Guarantor shall not be obligated to make any payment:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, subject to the provisions of Sections 2, 3, 4 and 5, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be released, discharged, impaired or otherwise affected by any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Parent Guarantor, the Term Loan Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender has knowledge thereof) which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other  than  the  payment  in  full  of  all  of  the  Guaranteed  Obligations),  including,  without limitation:

(a)       any amendment, modification, addition, deletion or supplement to or other change to any of the terms of the Loan Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents referred to therein, or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, or any furnishing,

(d)       any extension of the time for payment of the principal of or premium (if any) or interest on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or of the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of any of the Loan Agreements or any of the other Loan Documents referred to therein, or the extension or the renewal thereof;

(e)      to the extent permitted by applicable law, any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, adjustment, readjustment, composition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, receivership, conservatorship, custodianship, liquidation, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings with respect to the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or the Parent Guarantor or any other Person or any of their respective properties or creditors, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver or by any court in any such proceeding (including, without limitation, any automatic stay incident to any such proceeding);

(f)        any limitation, invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, limiting the liability or obligation of the Borrower or any other Borrower Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor or guarantee thereof or the Term Loan Agent’s, the Revolving Agent’s or the Lenders’ recourse to any such security or limiting the Term Loan Agent’s, the Revolving Agent’s or the Lenders’ right to a deficiency  judgment  against  the  Borrower,  any  other  Borrower  Party,  the  Parent Guarantor or any other Person; and

(g)      any other act, omission, occurrence, circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, whether foreseen or unforeseen, and any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense, release or discharge (including the release or discharge of the liabilities of a guarantor or surety or which might otherwise limit recourse against the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person, whether or not the Borrower, any other Borrower Party, the Parent Guarantor, the Term Loan Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender shall have notice or knowledge of the foregoing).

7.         Waiver of Subrogation.  To the extent that the Parent Guarantor shall have made any payments under this Agreement, until the Obligations (as such term is defined in each of the Term Loan Agreement and Revolving Credit Agreement) (other than contingent indemnitees and other contingent obligations) have been paid in full, the Parent Guarantor hereby waives (a) any and all rights of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification that the Parent Guarantor may now or hereafter have against the Borrower Parties or any other Person (including, without limitation, any co-borrower, co-obligor, guarantor, grantor or pledgor of collateral, general partner or other partner) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) any and all rights to participate in any claim or remedy of the Term Loan Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender or any trustee on behalf of any such Person against the Borrower Parties  or  any  other  Person  (including,  without  limitation,  any  co-borrower,  co-obligor, guarantor, grantor or pledgor of collateral, general partner or other partner) whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any of the Borrower Parties or any such other Person, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary contained herein, nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower or any other Loan Party  from  making  Restricted  Payments  or  other  transfers  to  the  Guarantor  to  the  extent permitted under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

If any amount is paid to the Parent Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of the Term Loan Lenders) and the Revolving Agent (on behalf of the Revolving Lenders) and shall forthwith be paid first, to the Term Loan Agent (on behalf of the Term Loan Lenders) if any Guaranteed Term Loan Obligations are then outstanding and second, to the Revolving Agent (for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders) if any Revolving Credit Obligations are then outstanding, in each case, to reduce the amount of the applicable Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

8.    Continuity of Guaranteed Obligations; Bankruptcy or Insolvency.

(a)      This Agreement and the guaranty contained herein is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of collection of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect; provided that the Parent Guarantor shall be released from its guarantee obligations and other obligations under this Agreement as follows:  (i) with respect to the Guaranteed Term Loan Obligations, on the date on which all Term Loans outstanding under the Term Loan Agreement have been repaid in full and all commitments to lend thereunder, if any, shall have terminated (the “Term Loan Guaranty  Termination  Date”),  (ii) with  respect  to  the  Guaranteed  Revolving  Credit Obligations, upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Guaranteed Revolving Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other arrangements satisfactory to the Revolving Agent and the L/C Issuer shall have been made) (the “Revolving Credit Guaranty Termination Date”), (iii) with respect to the Other Guaranteed Revolving Credit Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), upon payment in full of the Other Guaranteed Revolving Credit  Obligations  (the  “Other  Revolving  Credit  Guaranty  Termination  Date”)  and (iv) with  respect  to  all  of  the  Guaranteed  Obligations  (other  than  Other  Guaranteed

Revolving  Credit  Obligations),  the  date  upon  which  the  aggregate  amount  of  all payments made by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement and applied to any Guaranteed Obligations equals or exceeds the Cap (the “Cap Date”).   This Agreement shall terminate on the earlier to occur of (x) the Cap Date and (y) the Final Termination Date;  provided  that  the  foregoing  release  and  termination  shall  not  apply  to  any obligations that, pursuant to Section 11 hereof, expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, repayment of the Guaranteed Obligations or termination of the Aggregate Commitments.

(b)       If all or any part of any payment applied to any Guaranteed Obligation is or must be recovered, rescinded or returned to the Borrower, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person (other than the Term Loan Agent, the Revolving Agent or the Lenders) for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, bankruptcy or insolvency of any party), such Guaranteed Obligation shall be deemed to have continued in existence and this Agreement shall continue in effect as to such Guaranteed Obligation, all as though such  payment  had  not  been  made.    For  the  avoidance  of  doubt,  the  bankruptcy, insolvency, or dissolution of, or the commencement of any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law in respect of, the Borrower or any other Borrower Party shall not require the Parent Guarantor to make any payment under this Agreement until all of the conditions in Section 3 and Section 5 have been satisfied (including, without limitation, the exhaustion of all Lender Remedies).

9.         No Waiver.   No delay or omission on the part of the Term Loan Agent, the Revolving Agent or any Lender in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such rights or any other rights, and no waiver of any right on any one occasion shall result in a waiver of such right on any future occasion or of any other rights; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

WHEREAS, the Reaffirming Party expects to realize, or has realized, substantial direct and indirect benefits as a result of the Loans and Commitments made available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement (including the Incremental Revolving Facility Commitments extended pursuant to the Increase Agreement);

NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  foregoing  and  for  other  good  and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that all references to the “Credit Agreement” (or words of similar import) in the Guaranty of Collection  refer  to  the  Credit  Agreement  as  amended  and  supplemented  by  the  Increase Agreement without impairing any such obligations or Liens in any respect.
