Administrative Agent (as defined below) and the Noteholder (as defined below)
(the Noteholder, Note Purchaser, the Administrative Agent and their successors
and permitted assigns, the "BENEFICIARIES").
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

WHEREAS, the Issuer is a direct subsidiary of the Guarantor;

Restated Documents, and is willing to provide this Guaranty on the terms and

Amended and Restated Documents in reliance upon the benefits of this Guaranty.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by
the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Guaranty and not
otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to them in ANNEX A to the

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT: Citigroup Financial Products Inc.
AMENDED AND RESTATED DOCUMENTS: The Basic Documents other than

LIEN: Any security interest, lien (statutory or other),
charge, pledge, equity, mortgage, hypothecation, assignment for security or

as holder of the Class A-1 Notes and the Class A-2 Notes.
NOTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT: Amended and Restated Note Purchase
Agreement, dated as of July 10, 2008 among the Issuer, the Guarantor as Seller,

SECTION 2. GUARANTY. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, absolutely and
unconditionally guarantees, as primary obligor, and not merely as surety or
guarantor of collection, to the Beneficiaries the full and timely performance
of, and compliance with each and every duty, covenant, undertaking, indemnity,
agreement and obligation of, the Issuer (the "GUARANTEED PARTY") under each of
the Amended and Restated Documents (all of such duties, covenants, undertakings,
indemnities, agreements and obligations being hereinafter collectively called
the "GUARANTEED LIABILITIES") if, and only if, the Issuer or CPS fails to
properly perform any duty, covenant, undertaking, agreement or obligation with
respect to the Collateral contained in the Amended and Restated Documents,
including, without limitation, duties, covenants, undertakings, agreements or
obligations relating to the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral and
the Beneficiaries' rights with respect to such Collateral and such failure
continues for fifteen (15) Business Days, or such shorter applicable cure period
as set forth in the Amended and Restated Documents; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
Guarantor shall be entitled to assert any defense to performance as if it were
the Guaranteed Party under the Amended and Restated Documents. For clarification
purposes and the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing guaranty shall not be a
guaranty of the Issuer's payment obligations if (a) the Collateral securing the
Issuer Secured Obligations does not produce sufficient cash flow or have
sufficient market value to satisfy the Issuer Secured Obligations and (b) the
Guarantor and the Issuer have at all times properly performed each and every
duty, covenant, undertaking, agreement and obligation with respect to the
Collateral contained in the Amended and Restated Documents, including, without
limitation, all duties, covenants, undertakings, agreements and obligations
relating to the maintenance and preservation of the Collateral and the
Beneficiaries' rights with respect to such Collateral. In addition to, and
without limitation of the foregoing, each of the Guarantor, the Guaranteed Party
and the Beneficiaries expressly agree that any breach or threatened breach of
any Guaranteed Liability will cause irreparable harm to the Beneficiaries and
the Beneficiaries shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights or remedies
provided hereunder or otherwise by law or in equity, to injunctive relief, any
application for which neither the Guarantor nor the Guaranteed Party shall
oppose. The Guarantor further agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) paid or incurred by
any Beneficiary in endeavoring to obtain the performance by the Guaranteed Party
of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any part thereof, and in enforcing this
Guaranty.
2
SECTION 3. CONTINUING GUARANTY; TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Guaranty shall
in all respects be a continuing, absolute and unconditional guaranty, and shall
terminate upon performance in full of (i) all of the Guaranteed Liabilities and
(ii) any and all reasonable expenses paid or incurred by the Beneficiaries in
endeavoring to collect the Guaranteed Liabilities and in enforcing this
Guaranty. All of the agreements and obligations under this Guaranty shall remain
in full force and effect until all such obligations shall have been performed in
full and all reasonable expenses shall have been paid in full.
SECTION 4. RESCISSION. The Guarantor further agrees that, if at any
time all or any part of any payment theretofore applied by any Beneficiary to
any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is or must be rescinded or returned by such
Beneficiary for any reason whatsoever, such Guaranteed Liabilities shall, for
the purposes of this Guaranty, to the extent that such payment is or must be
rescinded or returned, be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding
such application by such Beneficiary, and this Guaranty shall continue to be
effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, as to such Guaranteed
Liabilities, all as though such application by such Beneficiary had not been
made.
SECTION 5. SUBROGATION. If the Guarantor shall perform any obligation
due in respect of any of the Amended and Restated Documents pursuant to this
Guaranty, the Guarantor shall, to the extent permitted under applicable law, be
subrogated to the rights of the Beneficiaries in respect of which such
performance was made. The Guarantor will not exercise any rights which it may
acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty until the Amended and Restated
Documents shall have been performed. If any amount shall be paid to the
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the
Guaranteed Liabilities shall not have been performed, such amount shall be held
in trust for the benefit of each Beneficiary and shall forthwith be paid to each
Beneficiary to be credited and applied against the satisfaction of such
obligations in accordance with the terms of the Amended and Restated Documents.
SECTION 6. WAIVER; WAIVER OF DEFENSES. The Guarantor hereby expressly
waives: (i) notice of each Beneficiary's acceptance of this Guaranty; (ii)
notice of the existence or creation or nonperformance of all or any of the
Guaranteed Liabilities; (iii) presentment, demand, demand for payment, notice of
dishonor, notice of default or nonperformance, protest, and all other notices
whatsoever (provided that nothing contained in this clause (iii) shall affect
any obligations to give notice or make demand as set forth in the Amended and
Restated Documents); and (iv) all diligence in collection or protection of or
realization upon the Guaranteed Liabilities or any thereof, any obligation
hereunder, or any security for or guaranty of any of the foregoing. To the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor agrees not to assert,
and hereby waives for the benefit of each Beneficiary, all rights (whether by
counterclaim, setoff or otherwise) and defenses (including, without limitation,
the defense of fraud or fraud in the inducement), whether acquired by
subrogation, assignment or otherwise, to the extent that such rights and
defenses may be available to the Guarantor to avoid performance of its
obligations under this Guaranty in accordance with the express provisions of
this Guaranty; PROVIDED that the Guarantor shall be entitled to assert as a
defense to performance hereunder any defense to performance available as if it
were the Guaranteed Party under the respective Amended and Restated Document.
SECTION 7. UNCONDITIONAL NATURE OF GUARANTY. This Guaranty shall
constitute a guaranty of performance and not of collection, and the Guarantor
specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary, and that the Guarantor shall
not be entitled to require, before or as a condition of enforcing the liability
of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or requiring performance of the Guaranteed
3
Liabilities by the Guarantor hereunder, or at any time thereafter, that any
Person: (i) file suit or proceed to obtain or assert a claim for personal
judgment against the Guaranteed Party or any other Person that may be liable for
any Guaranteed Liabilities; (ii) make any other effort to obtain performance of
any Guaranteed Liabilities from the Guaranteed Party or any other Person that
may be liable for such Guaranteed Liabilities; (iii) foreclose against or seek
to realize upon any security now or hereafter existing for such Guaranteed
Liabilities; (iv) exercise or assert any other right or remedy to which such
Person is or may be entitled in connection with any Guaranteed Liabilities or
any security or other guaranty therefor; or (v) assert or file any claim against
the assets of the Guaranteed Party or any other Person liable for any Guaranteed
Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no provision of
this Guaranty shall require the Guarantor to perform, observe or discharge any
Guaranteed Liabilities prior to the time such Guaranteed Liabilities are due.
Each Beneficiary may in all events pursue its rights under this Guaranty prior
to or simultaneously with pursuing its various rights referred to in the Amended
and Restated Documents, as such Beneficiary may determine. No action of any
Beneficiary permitted hereunder shall in any way affect or impair such
Beneficiary's rights or the Guarantor's obligations under this Guaranty. The
obligations of the Guarantor shall be continuing and irrevocable, absolute and
unconditional, primary, original and immediate and not contingent, irrespective
of:
(i) any lack of validity, enforceability, avoidance,
subordination, discharge, or disaffirmance by any Person (including a
trustee in bankruptcy) of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities under any
of the Amended and Restated Documents or any provision thereof;
(ii) any waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting
of any indulgence or any delay or lack of diligence on the part of any
Beneficiary to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power, privilege
or remedy conferred on such Beneficiary in any of the Amended and
Restated Documents or this Guaranty;
(iii) any change in the time, manner or place of performance
or of payment, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed
Liabilities, or any other modification, supplement, amendment or waiver
of or any consent to departure from the terms and conditions of any of
the Amended and Restated Documents;
(iv) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any
collateral or security (including, without limitation, the failure by
any Beneficiary to take any steps to perfect and maintain perfected its
respective interest in any contract or property acquired by or on
behalf of such parties from the Guaranteed Party or any security or
collateral related to the Guaranteed Party), or any taking, release or
amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty,
for all or any of the Guaranteed Liabilities or the acceptance of any
security therefor;
(v) any Lien upon or a security interest that any Beneficiary
may obtain in any property to secure any of the Guaranteed Liabilities
or any obligation hereunder;
4
(vi) any bankruptcy, suspension of payments, insolvency, sale
of assets, winding-up, dissolution, liquidation, receivership or
reorganization of, or similar proceedings involving, the Guaranteed
Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any of the
Guaranteed Liabilities;
(vii) the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any
action to enforce the same;
(viii) the application by any Beneficiary (in such order as
such Beneficiary shall determine, in its sole discretion) of the
payments it receives from the Guarantor with respect to any Guaranteed
Liabilities;
(ix) any set-off, counterclaim, deduction, defense, abatement,
suspension, deferment, diminution, recoupment, limitation or
termination available with respect to any Guaranteed Liabilities and,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other
circumstances that might otherwise limit recourse by or against the
Guarantor or any other Person;
(x) the obtaining, the amendment or the release of or consent
to any departure from the primary or secondary obligation of any other
Person, in addition to the Guarantor, with respect to any Guaranteed
Liabilities;
(xi) any full or partial release of compromise or settlement
with, or agreement not to ▇▇▇, the Guaranteed Party or any guarantor or
other person liable in respect of any Guaranteed Liabilities;
(xii) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any manner of
sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the
Guaranteed Liabilities or any other assets of the Guaranteed Party or
any of its subsidiaries, or any furnishing or acceptance of additional
collateral or any release of any existing securities;
(xiii) any change in control or the ownership of each
Guaranteed Party, any change, merger, demerger, consolidation,
restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of
the Guaranteed Party or its subsidiaries;
(xiv) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available
to, or a discharge of, a guarantor or surety with respect to any
Guaranteed Liabilities; PROVIDED that the Guarantor shall be entitled
to assert as a defense to performance hereunder any defense to
performance available as if it were the Guaranteed Party under the
Amended and Restated Documents;
(xv) any default, failure or delay, whether as a result of
actual or alleged force majeure, commercial impracticability or
otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or by any
other act or circumstances which may or might in any manner or to any
extent vary the risk of the Guarantor, or which would otherwise operate
as a discharge of the Guarantor;
5
(xvi) the existence of any other obligation of the Guarantor,
or any limitation thereof, in any of the Amended and Restated
Documents, or any legal or equitable discharge or defense of the
Guarantor;
(xvii) any regulatory change or other governmental action
(whether or not adverse) or other change in applicable law; or
(xviii) the partial performance of the Guaranteed Liabilities
(whether as a result of the exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege or otherwise) or the invalidity of any performance for any
reason whatsoever.
This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any performance, or any part
thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by any Beneficiary for any reason whatsoever, whether upon
the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Guaranteed Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 8. INFORMATION. The Guarantor has and will continue to have
independent means of obtaining information concerning the Guaranteed Party's

responsibility to provide the Guarantor with any credit or other information
concerning the Guaranteed Party's affairs, financial condition or business which
may come into such Beneficiary's possession.

(b) DUE QUALIFICATION. It is duly licensed, qualified and
authorized to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the

enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.
6
(e) NO VIOLATION. The execution, delivery and performance of
this Guaranty will not (i) conflict with, or result in any breach of any of the

Guarantor of this Guaranty will not render the Guarantor insolvent, nor is it

Guaranty.

time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, such notice being hereby
expressly waived, to set-off any obligation owing by such Beneficiary or any of
its Affiliates to the Guarantor, or against any funds or other property of the
Guarantor, held by or otherwise in the possession of such Beneficiary or any of
its Affiliates, the obligations of the Guarantor to each Beneficiary under this

any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the
Guarantor against any and all of the obligations now or hereafter existing

and even though such obligations may be unmatured. Each Beneficiary agrees
promptly to notify the Guarantor after any such set-off and application made by
such Beneficiary; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the failure to give such notice shall
not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
