provided that each Guarantor shall only be liable under this Guaranty for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering this Guaranty, as it relates to such Guarantor, voidable under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Secured Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against any other Loan Party or any other Person before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION 2.2. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Guarantor is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Secured Party exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Secured Party in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred.

SECTION 2.3. Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred. Each Guarantor jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations of each other Loan Party will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of each Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any Law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of any Loan Document;

(b) the failure of any Secured Party (i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise, or (ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) of, or Collateral securing, any Obligations;

(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation;

(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason (other than the payment of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise (other than the payment of the Obligations);

(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;

(f) any addition, exchange or release of any Collateral or of any Person that is (or will become) a guarantor (including a Subsidiary Guarantor) of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release of or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured Party guaranteeing any of the Obligations; or

(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any other Loan Party, any surety or any guarantor (other than the payment of the Obligations).

SECTION 2.4. Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates are 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 Lender 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 Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrowers 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.

SECTION 2.5. Waiver, etc. Each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any Collateral securing the Obligations, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.6. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to which it is a party, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Loan Party, in respect of any payment made, under any Loan Document or otherwise, until following the Termination Date. Any amount paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the Termination Date shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Administrative Agent, if required), to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in

accordance with Section 2.7; provided that if any Guarantor has made payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Obligations and the Termination Date has occurred, then at such Guarantor’s request, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) will, at the expense of such Guarantor, promptly execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date, each Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against any other Loan Party (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guaranty to any Secured Party.

SECTION 2.7. Payments; Application. Each Guarantor hereby agrees with each Secured Party as follows:

(a) Each Guarantor agrees that all payments made by such Guarantor hereunder will be made in the currency of the applicable Obligation (except to the extent provided otherwise in the Credit Agreement) to the Administrative Agent, without setoff, counterclaim or other defense and in accordance with Sections 3.01 and 8.03 of the Credit Agreement, free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes (except as provided otherwise in the Credit Agreement), each Guarantor hereby agrees to comply with and be bound by the provisions of Sections 3.01 and 8.03 of the Credit Agreement in respect of all payments made by it hereunder and the provisions of which Sections are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Guaranty by this reference as if set forth herein; provided that references to the “Borrower” or “Borrowers” in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to each Guarantor, and references to “this Agreement” in such Sections shall be deemed to be references to this Guaranty.

(b) All payments made hereunder shall be applied upon receipt as set forth in Section 8.03 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 2.8. Keepwell. The Qualified ECP Guarantors hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertake to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to any Swap Obligation secured by the grant of a Lien under the Loan Documents by such Specified Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering the Guarantors’ obligations and undertakings under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of the Qualified ECP Guarantors under this Section 2.8 shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. The Qualified ECP Guarantors intend this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
