(a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, upon giving telecopy notice (or telephone notice promptly confirmed by telecopy) to the Administrative Agent: (i) before 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, three Business Days prior to prepayment, in the case of Eurodollar Loans and Negotiated Rate Borrowings which prepayment shall be accompanied by any amount owed under Section 8.05(b), and (ii) before 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, one Business Day prior to prepayment, in the case of ABR Loans; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

(b) On the date of any termination or reduction of the Total Commitment pursuant to Section 2.09 (including without limitation, any reduction arising as a result of a Material Transfer), the Borrower shall pay or prepay so much of the Borrowings as shall be necessary in order that the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Loans and Swingline Loans will not exceed the sum of the Total Commitment minus all Letter of Credit Liabilities, after giving effect to such termination or reduction.

(b) The first paragraph of Clause (c) is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

At least 15 Business Days (or, in the case of any transaction permitted by Section 5.10 resulting in a Change of Control, at least 45 days) and not more than 90 days prior to the occurrence of any Change of Control, the Borrower will give written notice thereof to each Lender. Such notice shall contain (i) an offer by the Borrower to prepay, on the date of such Change of Control or, if such notice shall be delivered less than 35 days prior to the date of such Change of Control, on the date 35 days after the date of such notice (the “Prepayment Date”), all Loans and Swingline Loans made by each Lender, together with interest accrued thereon to the Prepayment Date and all other

liquidated obligations owed to such Lender under the terms hereof, (ii) the estimated amount of accrued interest, showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof and (iii) the Borrower's estimate of the date on which such Change of Control shall occur. Said offer shall be deemed to lapse as to any such Lender which has not replied affirmatively thereto in writing within 35 days of the giving of such notice. As soon as practicable (and in any event at least 24 hours) prior to such Change of Control, the Borrower shall give written confirmation of the date thereof to each such Lender that has affirmatively replied to the notice given pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10(c). Borrower shall, on the Prepayment Date, prepay to each Lender that has affirmatively replied to the notice given pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 2.10(c) all Loans and funded participation interests in Swingline Loans then held by such Lender together with accrued interest thereon and all other liquidated obligations owed to such Lender under the terms hereof. Thereupon, each Lender that shall have received such prepayment shall have no further obligation to make Loans or participate in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit made or issued after the Prepayment Date and the Total Commitment shall be reduced by the amount of each such Lender's Commitment; provided that each Lender that shall have received such prepayment shall continue to have a participation interest in any Letter of Credit issued prior to the Prepayment Date or any Swingline Loan outstanding immediately after the Prepayment Date and shall be entitled to the continued payment of the Fees paid in respect thereof. The participation interests described in the foregoing sentence shall be calculated based on the Applicable Percentages determined immediately prior to the Prepayment Date and each such Lender shall continue to be obligated to fund its participation interest therein as herein specified as if no prepayment had occurred. Any Loan made after the Prepayment Date shall be made by the remaining Lenders and such Lenders shall have participation interests in any Swingline Loan made after the Prepayment Date and in any Letter of Credit issued after the Prepayment Date based on their Applicable Percentages (calculated without including the Commitments of the Lenders that shall have received the prepayment under this Section 2.10(c)). If requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders who are to receive prepayment under this Section 2.10(c), the Borrower shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all Letters of Credit that are to be outstanding as of the Prepayment Date to be terminated as of the Prepayment Date or as soon thereafter as is possible.

Section 2.11 Amendment to Section 2.14. Sections 2.14 of the Credit Agreement is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Section 2.14 Sharing of Setoffs. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement which shall have precedence over any conflicting provisions in this Section 2.14, each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim, or pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any amounts due hereunder as a result of which the unpaid principal portion of such amount shall be proportionately less than the unpaid principal portion of such amount owed to any other Lender, it shall be deemed simultaneously to have purchased from such other Lender at face value, and shall promptly pay to such other Lender the purchase price for, a participation in such amounts of such other Lender,

so that the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder and participations in such obligations held by each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all obligations owed by the Borrower hereunder then outstanding as the principal amount of such obligations prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all such obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, however, that, if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.14 and the payment giving rise thereto shall thereafter be recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustment restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in the obligations owed hereunder deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrower to such Lender by reason thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a Loan in the amount of such participation.

Section 2.20 Swingline Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swingline Lender agrees to make advances (each such advance a “Swingline

Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on and after the June 29, 2001, until the earlier of the Maturity Date or the termination of the Commitments hereunder in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding that will not result in (i) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Swingline Loans exceeding $20,000,000 and (ii) the total Revolving Exposures exceeding the Total Commitment. The Swingline Loans comprising any Borrowing shall be in an amount which is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 (or an aggregate principal amount equal to the sum of $20,000,000 minus all the Swingline Loans then outstanding). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans.

(a) Swingline Request Procedure. To request a Swingline Loan, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such request by telephone (confirmed by telecopy), not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the day of a proposed Swingline Loan by use of a duly completed Borrowing Request. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify: (i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the requested Swingline Loan, (iii) whether the Swingline Loan is to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, an ABR Borrowing or a Negotiated Rate Borrowing, and (iv) in the event of a Negotiated Rate Borrowing is selected, the requested duration of the Interest Period therefor and the requested interest rate to be applicable thereto. If no election as to the type of Borrowing is specified in any notice, then the requested Borrowing shall be an ABR Borrowing. Each Interest Period with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing that is a Swingline Loan shall be one month's duration. The Administrative Agent will promptly advise the Swingline Lender of any such notice received from the Borrower. The Swingline Lender shall make each Swingline Loan available to the Borrower by means of a credit to the account or accounts specified from time to time in one or more notices delivered by the Borrower to the Swingline Lender (or, in the case of a Swingline Loan made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.19(d), by remittance to the Issuing Bank) by 3:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the requested date of such Swingline Loan. The Swingline Lender shall notify the Borrower on the date the Borrower requests a Negotiated Rate Borrowing if the Swingline Lender will not agree to the rate requested in such notice to apply to such Borrowing or the duration of the related Interest Period. If the Borrower and the Swingline Lender can not agree on the Negotiated Rate for a Negotiated Rate Borrowing, the Negotiated Rate Borrowing shall not be available hereunder. The determination by the Swingline Lender of the Negotiated Rate applicable to a Negotiated Rate Borrowing shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(b) Lender Participation. The Swingline Lender may by written notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on any Business Day require the Lenders to acquire participations on such Business Day in all or a portion of the Swingline Loans outstanding. Such notice shall specify the aggregate amount of Swingline Loans in which the Lenders will participate. Promptly upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent will give notice thereof to each Lender, specifying in such notice such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Lender's Applicable Percentage of such Swingline Loans. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swingline Loans pursuant to this paragraph is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment

shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever; provided that (i) the obligations of a Lender to fund its participation in a Swingline Loan may be subject to avoidance by a Lender if such Lender proves that the Swingline Lender knew (or with the exercise of care should have known) that the conditions to the making of the Swingline Loan were not satisfied and (ii) a Lender shall not have an obligation to acquire or fund a participation in Swingline Loans if that obligation of the Lender has been terminated or assigned to another Person in accordance with Section 2.10(c) or Section 8.04. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Swingline Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care. Each Lender shall comply with its obligation under this paragraph by wire transfer of immediately available funds, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Swingline Lender the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of any participations in any Swingline Loan acquired pursuant to this paragraph, and thereafter payments in respect of such Swingline Loan shall be made to the Administrative Agent and not to the Swingline Lender. Any amounts received by the Swingline Lender from the Borrower (or other party on behalf of the Borrower) in respect of a Swingline Loan after receipt by the Swingline Lender of the proceeds of a sale of participations therein shall be promptly remitted to the Administrative Agent; any such amounts received by the Administrative Agent shall be promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders that shall have made their payments pursuant to this paragraph and to the Swingline Lender, as their interests may appear. The purchase of participations in a Swingline Loan pursuant to this paragraph shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation for the payment thereof in full, notwithstanding any Default or Event of Default which may exist.

(c) Repayment. Swingline Loans shall be repaid by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.05. Notwithstanding Section 2.13, each Borrowing comprised of a Swingline Loan, each payment or prepayment of principal of any Borrowing comprised of a Swingline Loan, and each payment of interest on Swingline Loans, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender only.

(d) Amendments. No amendment to this Agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights and duties of the Swingline Lender without the prior written consent of the Swingline Lender.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

WHEREAS, Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), has entered into that certain 364 Day Revolving Credit Facility Agreement dated as of January 25, 2000, among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto (the “Lenders”) and Chase Bank of Texas, National Association (now The Chase Manhattan Bank), as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”) (such 364 Day Revolving Credit Facility Agreement, as the same has been and may hereafter be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the “Credit Agreement”, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Credit Agreement);

WHEREAS, the execution of this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (the “Guaranty Agreement”) is a condition to the Administrative Agent’s, the Issuing Bank’s, and each Lender’s obligations under the Credit Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, each of the undersigned parties and any Material Restricted Subsidiary hereafter added as a “Guarantor” hereto pursuant to a Subsidiary Joinder Agreement (individually a “Guarantor” and collectively the “Guarantors”), hereby jointly, severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent the full and prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations (hereinafter defined), this Guaranty Agreement being upon the following terms:

1. THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS. The term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all obligations, indebtedness, and liabilities of Borrower to the Agents, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, or any of them, arising pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or any document executed and delivered in connection with the foregoing (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”), whether any of such obligations, indebtedness and liabilities are now existing or hereafter arising, whether are direct, indirect, related, unrelated, fixed, contingent, liquidated, unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, including, without limitation, (i) the obligation of Borrower to repay the Loans and Swingline Loans, interest on the Loans and Swingline Loans, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for all LC Disbursements and all fees, costs, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses) provided for in the Credit Agreement and (ii) all post-petition interest and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) whether or not allowed under any bankruptcy, insolvency, or other similar law. However, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited, with respect to each Guarantor, to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 544 or 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state law relating to fraudulent transfers or conveyances. This Guaranty Agreement is an absolute, present and continuing Guaranty Agreement of payment and not of collectibility and is in no way conditional or contingent upon any attempt to collect from the Borrower, any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guarantor of the obligations guarantied hereby or upon any other action, occurrence or circumstance whatsoever. In the event that the Borrower shall fail so to pay any of such Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree to pay the same when due to the Administrative Agent, without demand, presentment, protest or notice of any kind. Each default in payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any obligation guarantied hereby shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

2. INDEMNIFICATION. EACH GUARANTOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY EACH AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, EACH LENDER, EACH OF THEIR AFFILIATES AND THE

DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS OF THE FOREGOING (EACH SUCH PERSON BEING CALLED AN “INDEMNITEE”) AGAINST, AND TO HOLD EACH INDEMNITEE HARMLESS FROM, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES, INCLUDING REASONABLE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES, INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF (i) THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, (ii) THE USE OF THE PROCEEDS OF THE LOANS OR THE USE OF ANY LETTER OF CREDIT OR (iii) ANY CLAIM, LITIGATION, INVESTIGATION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING, WHETHER OR NOT ANY INDEMNITEE IS A PARTY THERETO (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES AND RELATED EXPENSES ARISING FROM THE SOLE OR CONTRIBUTORY NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE); PROVIDED THAT SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL NOT, AS TO ANY INDEMNITEE, BE AVAILABLE TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH LOSSES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES OR RELATED EXPENSES (i) ARE DETERMINED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNITEE OR (ii) RESULT FROM ANY LITIGATION BROUGHT BY SUCH INDEMNITEE AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR BY THE BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR AGAINST SUCH INDEMNITEE, IN WHICH THE BORROWER OR SUCH GUARANTOR IS THE PREVAILING PARTY.

3. OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, continuing, absolute, joint, several, irrevocable and unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of any Transaction Document, shall not be subject to any counterclaim, setoff, deduction or defense based upon any claim any Guarantor may have against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank or otherwise or any claim the Borrower may have against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank or otherwise, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged or in any way affected by, any circumstance or condition whatsoever (whether or not such Guarantor shall have any knowledge or notice thereof), including, without limitation: (a) any amendment, modification of or supplement to any Transaction Document or any other instrument referred to therein (except that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder shall apply to the applicable Transaction Document or such other instruments as so amended, modified or supplemented) or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or of any interest therein, or any furnishing, acceptance or release of any security for the obligations due under any Transaction Document, (b) any waiver, consent, extension, indulgence or other action or inaction under or in respect of any Transaction Document; (c) any bankruptcy, insolvency, readjustment, composition, liquidation or similar proceeding with respect to the Borrower or its property; (d) any merger, amalgamation or consolidation of any Guarantor or of the Borrower into or with any other corporation or any sale, lease or transfer of any or all of the assets of any Guarantor or of the Borrower to any Person; (e) any failure on the part of the Borrower for any reason to comply with or perform any of the terms of any other agreement with any Guarantor; or (f) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than a release of the obligations of a Guarantor hereunder granted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 21 hereof). Each Guarantor covenants that its obligations hereunder will not be discharged except by payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations or a release granted in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 21.

4. WAIVER. Each Guarantor unconditionally waives to the fullest extent permitted by law, (a) notice of acceptance hereof, of any action taken or omitted in reliance hereon and of any defaults by the Borrower in the payment of any amounts due under any Transaction Document, and of any of the matters referred to in paragraph 2 or 3 hereof, (b) all notices which may be required by statute, rule of law or otherwise to preserve any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank from time to time against any Guarantor, including, without limitation, presentment to or demand for

payment from the Borrower or any Guarantor, notice to the Borrower or to any Guarantor of default or protest for nonpayment or dishonor and the filing of claims with a court in the event of the bankruptcy of the Borrower, (c) any right to the enforcement, assertion or exercise by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank of any right, power or remedy conferred in this Guaranty Agreement or any Transaction Document, (d) any requirement or diligence on the part of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank and (e) any other act or omission or thing or delay to do any other act or thing which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or which might otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor. The exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, or at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

5. OBLIGATIONS UNIMPAIRED. Each Guarantor authorizes the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank without notice or demand to any Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder, from time to time (a) to renew, compromise, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, all or any part of any Transaction Document or any other instrument referred to therein, (b) to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the obligations under any Transaction Document, for the performance of this Guaranty Agreement or otherwise for the indebtedness guaranteed hereby and to exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (c) to apply any such security and to direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may determine; (d) to obtain additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors; (e) to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrower and others; and (f) to apply any sums, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the obligations under the Transaction Documents and any other Guaranteed Obligation. Each Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank to proceed against any additional or substitute endorsers or guarantors or to pursue or exhaust any security provided by the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or to pursue any other remedy available to such entities.

6. COVENANTS. Each Guarantor agrees that, so long as any Lender has any commitment or any other obligations under any Transaction Document, or any amount payable hereunder remains unpaid:

(a) Corporate Existence Subject to clause (c) of this paragraph 6 each Guarantor will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and all of its rights and franchises unless, in its good faith judgment, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such right or franchise would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each Guarantor shall permit the representatives of the Administrative Agent and each Lender: (i) If no Default or Event of Default then exists, at the expense of such Agent or Lender and upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower, to visit the principal executive office of each Guarantor, to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of each Guarantor with their respective officers and (with the consent of a Guarantor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) its independent public accountants, and (with the consent of a Guarantor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) to visit the other offices and properties of each Guarantor, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested in writing; and (ii) If a Default or Event of Default then exists, at the expense of the Guarantor to visit and inspect any of the offices or properties of any Guarantor, to examine all their respective books of account, records, reports and other papers, to make copies and extracts therefrom, and to discuss their respective affairs, finances and accounts with their respective officers and independent public accountants (and by this provision each Guarantor authorizes said accountants to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Guarantors), all at such

times and as often as may be requested. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no Guarantor shall have any obligations to disclose pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement any engineering, scientific, or other technical data without significance to the analysis of the financial position of the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries.

(c) Merger, Consolidation, Etc. No Guarantor shall consolidate with or merge with any other corporation or convey, transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person except (1) in connection with the sale of a Guarantor or of all or substantially all of its assets in a transaction permitted by Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement to a third party not affiliated with the Borrower or such Guarantor or (2) unless:

(i) the successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of the assets of such Guarantor as an entirety, as the case may be, shall be a solvent corporation or other entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and, if such Guarantor is not such corporation or other entity, such corporation or other entity shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty Agreement, together with a favorable opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Administrative Agent covering such matters relating to such corporation or other entity and such assumption as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; and

(ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default would exist; and

(iii) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such transaction, the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be permitted by the provisions of Sections 5.12 and 5.17 of the Credit Agreement to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness and $1.00 of additional Restricted Indebtedness, respectively.

No such conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor shall have the effect of releasing such Guarantor or any successor corporation that shall theretofore have become such in the manner prescribed in this clause (c) of paragraph 6 from its liability under this Guaranty Agreement provided that a Guarantor may be released from its obligations hereunder in accordance with paragraph 21 hereof if it or all or substantially all of its assets are sold to a third party not affiliated with the Borrower or such Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement.

(d) Compliance With Loan Documents. Each Guarantor shall comply with all covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and any other Transaction Document applicable to it.

7. SUBROGATION. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may have acquired by way of subrogation under this Guaranty Agreement, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, or accept any payment on account of such subrogation rights, or any rights of reimbursement or indemnity or any rights or recourse to any security for the obligations under the Credit Agreement or this Guaranty Agreement unless and until all of the obligations, undertakings or conditions to be performed or observed by the Borrower pursuant to the Transaction Documents at the time of any Guarantor's exercise of any such right shall have been performed, observed or paid in full. For a period of one year after the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor hereby waives (x) all rights of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty Agreement (whether, statutory or otherwise) to the claims of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations ( Borrower and such

other guarantors are each herein referred to as an “Other Party”) and all contractual, statutory or common law rights of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity from any Other Party which it may at any time otherwise have as a result of this Guaranty Agreement; and (y) any right to enforce any other remedy which the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Bank now have or may hereafter have against any Other Party, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

8. CONTRIBUTION. The Guarantors collectively desire to allocate among themselves in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty Agreement. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made by a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement (a “Funding Guarantor”) that exceeds its Fair Share (as defined below), that Funding Guarantor shall, subject to paragraph 6 hereof, be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Guarantors in the amount of such other Guarantor's Fair Share Shortfall (as defined below), with the result that all such contributions will cause each Guarantor's Aggregate Payments (as defined below) to equal its Fair Share. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (i) the ratio of (x) the Adjusted Maximum Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Guarantor to (y) the aggregate of the Adjusted Maximum Amounts with respect to all Guarantors, multiplied by (ii) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty Agreement in respect of the obligations guarantied. “Fair Share Shortfall” means, with respect to a 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 Amount” means, with respect to a Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement determined in accordance with the provisions hereof (including, without limitation, the limitations on such obligations contained in paragraph 1 hereof); provided that, solely for purposes of calculating the “Adjusted Maximum Amount” with respect to any Guarantor for purposes of this paragraph 8 the assets or liabilities arising by virtue of 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 Guarantor as of any date of determination, the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty Agreement (including, without limitation, in respect of this paragraph 8). 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. The allocation among Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this paragraph 8 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

9. REINSTATEMENT OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT. This Guaranty Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if and to the extent at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the sums due to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank for principal, premium, if any, or interest on the obligations under any Transaction Document or any of the other Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by such entity upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect to the Borrower, any Guarantor or any substantial part of their respective properties, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal due under any Transaction Document shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank to receive any payment under the applicable Transaction Document shall at such time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Borrower of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty Agreement and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing

Bank had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the applicable Transaction Documents, and any Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated principal amount, accrued interest and premium, if any, thereon and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder.

10. PAYMENTS. Each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, guarantees that the Borrower shall pay the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, at the times and places provided in, and otherwise strictly in accordance with the terms and provisions of, the Credit Agreement or other applicable Transaction Documents (regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect which might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Obligations, or the rights of any such entity with respect thereto as against the Borrower, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by the Borrower of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations), without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions, withholdings now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any country (or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein) excluding income and franchise taxes of the United States of America or any political subdivision, state or taxing authority thereof or therein (including Puerto Rico) such non-excluded taxes being called “Foreign Taxes”). If any Foreign Taxes are required to be withheld from any amount payable to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Issuing Bank under this Guaranty Agreement, under the Credit Agreement or any other Transaction Document, the amounts so payable to such holder shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to such entity (after payment of all Foreign Taxes) interest or any such other amounts at the rates or in the amounts specified in the applicable Transaction Document. In the event any payment is made by a Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement, then such Guarantor shall, subject to paragraph 6 hereof, be subrogated to the rights then held by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent to which the Guaranteed Obligations was discharged by such Guarantor. All payments received by the Administrative Agent under this Guaranty Agreement shall be allocated pro rata among the Lenders in accordance with the Lenders'; Applicable Percentages unless the Intercreditor Agreement directs that the proceeds shall be distributed in another manner.

11. RANK OF GUARANTY AGREEMENT. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement shall rank at least pari passu with all other unsecured senior obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing.

12. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE GUARANTORS.
EachGuarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent the Issuing Bank and each Lender as follows:

(a) Existence. It: (i) is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power and authority to own its property and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, (iii) is qualified to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where the failure so to qualify would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) has the corporate power and authority to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement.

(b) Authorization. Its execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and (ii) will not (A) violate (1) any provision of any law, statute, rule or regulation to which it is subject or of its certificate of incorporation or other constituent documents or by-laws, (2) any order of any

Applicable Governmental Authority or (3) any provision of any Material indenture, agreement or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is or may be bound, (ii) be in conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (alone or with notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any such indenture, agreement or other instrument or (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its property or assets.

(c) Enforceability. This Guaranty Agreement constitutes, and when entered into, the Intercreditor Agreement will constitute, its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms, as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(d) No Consents. No action, consent or approval of, registration or filing with or other action by any Applicable Governmental Authority is or will be required in connection with its execution, delivery or performance of this Guaranty Agreement or the Intercreditor Agreement.

(e) Credit Agreement Representations. All representations and warranties in the Credit Agreement relating to it are true and correct as of the date hereof and are restated herein with the same force and effect as if such representations and warranties had been made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate specifically to another date.

(f) Information. It has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the financial condition and assets of the Borrower and it is not relying upon the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender to provide (and neither the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any duty to provide) any such information to it either now or in the future.

(g) Benefit. The Borrower provides the Guarantors financing from time to time and some of the funds used by the Borrower to provide such financing have been and will hereafter be borrowed by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement. As a result, the value of the consideration received and to be received by each Guarantor as a result of the Borrower and the Lenders entering into the Credit Agreement and each Guarantor’s executing and delivering this Guaranty Agreement (in light of, among other things, the contribution provisions of paragraph 8 hereof) is reasonably worth at least as much as the liability and obligation of each Guarantor hereunder, and such liability and obligation and the Credit Agreement have benefited and may reasonably be expected to benefit each Guarantor directly or indirectly.

(h) Solvency. Each Guarantor both individually and on a consolidated basis: (i) owns and will own assets (included in such assets the rights of contribution set forth in paragraph 8 hereof) the fair saleable value of which are (A) greater than the total amount of its liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and (B) greater than the amount that will be required to pay probable liabilities of then existing debts as they become absolute and matured considering all financing alternatives and potential asset sales reasonably available to it; (ii) has capital that is not unreasonably small in relation to its business as presently conducted; and (iii) does not intend to incur and does not believe that it will incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they become due.

13. SETOFF. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing each Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the any

Guarantor against any of and all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty Agreement, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this paragraph are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

14. SUBORDINATED INDEBTEDNESS. In addition and not in limitation of paragraph 6 hereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

(a) Each Guarantor hereby agrees that the Subordinated Indebtedness (as defined below) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations as herein provided. The Subordinated Indebtedness shall not be payable, and no payment of principal, interest or other amounts on account thereof, and no property or guarantee of any nature to secure or pay the Subordinated Indebtedness shall be made or given, directly or indirectly by or on behalf of any Other Party (as defined in paragraph 7 above) or received, accepted, retained or applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash for one year; except that prior to receipt of a notice from the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (which may be given at any time an Event of Default exists), a Guarantor shall have the right to receive payments on the Subordinated Indebtedness made in the ordinary course of business. After receipt of the notice from the Administrative Agent delivered under the preceding sentence, no payments of principal or interest or any other amounts may be made or given, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of any Other Party or received, accepted, retained or applied by any Guarantor unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash for one year. If any sums shall be paid to a Guarantor by any Other Party or any other Person on account of the Subordinated Indebtedness when such payment is not permitted hereunder, such sums shall be held in trust by such Guarantor for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent without affecting the liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement and may be applied by the Administrative Agent against the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, a Guarantor shall execute, deliver, and endorse to the Administrative Agent such documentation as the Administrative Agent may request to perfect, preserve, and enforce its rights hereunder. For purposes of this Guaranty Agreement and with respect to a Guarantor, the term “Subordinated Indebtedness” means, with respect to any Guarantor, all indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations of any Other Party to such Guarantor, whether such indebtedness, liabilities, and obligations now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or are direct, indirect, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such indebtedness, liabilities, or obligations are evidenced by a note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by such Guarantor.

(b) Each Guarantor agrees that any and all Liens (including any judgment liens), upon any Other Party’s assets securing payment of any Subordinated Indebtedness shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any and all Liens upon any Other Party’s assets securing payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, regardless of whether such Liens in favor of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attached. Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and otherwise subject to the restrictions set forth in paragraph 7 hereof when an Event of Default exists, no Guarantor shall (i) file suit against any Other Party or exercise or enforce any other creditor’s right it may have against any Other Party, or (ii) foreclose, repossess, sequester, or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including without limitation the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation,

bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any obligations of any Other Party to such Guarantor or any Liens held by such Guarantor on assets of any Other Party.

(c) In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization rearrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving any Other Party as debtor, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to prove and vote any claim under the Subordinated Indebtedness and to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian all dividends, distributions, and payments made in respect of the Subordinated Indebtedness until the Guaranteed Obligations has been paid in full in cash. The Administrative Agent may apply any such dividends, distributions, and payments against the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

15. NOTICES. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices consents, directions, approvals, instructions, requests and other communications required or permitted by the terms hereof shall be in writing, and any such communication shall become effective when received, addressed in the following manner: (a) if to any Guarantor, in care of the Borrower in accordance with the notice provisions in the Credit Agreement or (b) if to any Lender or the Issuing Bank, to the respective address set forth in the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement, with a copy to the Administrative Agent; or (c) if to the Administrative Agent, to the respective address set forth in the notice provisions of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any such addressee may change its address for communications by notice given as aforesaid to the other parties hereto.

18. STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. To the extent permitted by law, any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or otherwise and whether by the Borrower or others (including any Guarantor), with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall, if the statute of limitations in favor of any Guarantor against the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have commenced to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations and, if the period of such statute of limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

19. FEES.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Guaranty Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, except that the Administrative Agent may, without the consent or agreement of any Lender, release a Guarantor if such Guarantor or its assets have been sold to a third party not affiliated with the Borrower or any other Guarantor in a transaction permitted by Section 5.11 of the Credit Agreement.
