GUARANTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1. Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby absolutely,
unconditionally and irrevocably
(a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether
at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other
Obligor, now or hereafter existing, whether for principal, interest,
fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would
become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section
362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 362(a),
and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States
Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. Section 502(b) and Section 506(b)), and
(b) indemnifies and holds harmless each Secured Party for any
and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees and
expenses) incurred by such Secured Party in enforcing any rights under
this Guaranty;
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 the Borrower or any
other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations
of such Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 2.2. Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, in
the event of the occurrence of an Event of Default described under Section 8.1.9
of the Credit Agreement, and if such Event of Default shall occur at a time when
any of the Obligations of any Obligor may not then be due and payable, such
Guarantor agrees that it shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Secured Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable
hereunder by such Guarantor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.
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 guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower and
each other Obligor 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
-2-
Secured Party with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be 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 the Borrower or any
other Obligor 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
Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations of the Borrower
or any other Obligor;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or
any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any
Obligation of the Borrower or any other Obligor;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of
any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor for any reason,
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 of the
Borrower or any other Obligor or otherwise;
(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
modification of, or any consent to 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 any
Guarantor) of the Obligations, or surrender or non-perfection of any
collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or
consent to or departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Secured
Party securing any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other
Obligor; or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the
Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor, any surety or any
guarantor.
SECTION 2.4. Reinstatement, etc. Each Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored to any Obligor by any Secured Party,
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.
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 of the Borrower or any other Obligor and of this Guaranty and any
requirement that any Secured Party protect,
-3-
secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject
thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other
Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any
collateral securing the Obligations of the Borrower or such Obligor.
SECTION 2.6. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. Each Guarantor hereby
agrees that, at all times prior to the Termination Date, it will not exercise
any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under this
Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise. 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 to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and credited and applied against the Obligations of the Borrower and
each other Obligor, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms
of the Credit Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Guarantor shall,
at all times prior to the Termination Date, refrain from taking any action or
commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Obligor (or any of
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. Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Transfers of Notes,
etc. This Guaranty shall (a) be binding upon each Guarantor, and its successors,
transferees and assigns; and (b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
each Secured Party. Without limiting the generality of clause (b), any Lender
may assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note or Credit
Extension held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or
entity shall thereupon become vested with all rights and benefits in respect
thereof granted to such Lender under any Loan Document (including this Guaranty)
or otherwise, subject, however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or
transfer, and to the provisions of Section 11.11 and Article X of the Credit
Agreement.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
In order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit
Agreement and make Credit Extensions thereunder, and to induce Secured Parties
to enter into Rate Protection Agreements, each Guarantor represents and warrants
to each Secured Party as set forth below.
SECTION 3.1. Credit Agreement Representations and Warranties. Each
Guarantor hereby represents and warrants for itself unto each Secured Party that
the representations and warranties contained in Article VI of the Credit
Agreement, insofar as the representations and warranties contained therein are
applicable to such Guarantor and its properties, are true and correct in all
material respects, each such representation and warranty set forth in such
Article (insofar as applicable as aforesaid), and all other terms of the Credit
Agreement to which reference is made therein and applicable to such Guarantor
and its properties together with all related definitions and ancillary
provisions, being hereby incorporated into this Guaranty to such extent by this
reference as though specifically set forth in this Article.
-4-
SECTION 3.2. Financial Condition of each Obligor. Each Guarantor has
knowledge of the Borrower's and each other Obligor's financial condition and
affairs and that it has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower and each such
other Obligor on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and to the
Borrower's and each such other Obligor's ability to pay and perform its
respective Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and
to keep, so informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect. Each Guarantor
acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to
investigate the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower or any other
Obligor for the benefit of such Guarantor nor to advise such Guarantor of any
fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of the
Borrower or any other Obligor that might become known to any Secured Party at
any time, whether or not such Secured Party knows or believes or has reason to
know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to such Guarantor, or
might (or does) materially increase the risk of such Guarantor as guarantor, or
might (or would) affect the willingness of such Guarantor to continue as a
guarantor of the Obligations.
SECTION 3.3. Best Interests. It is in the best interests of each
Guarantor to execute this Guaranty inasmuch as such Guarantor will, as a result
of being a Subsidiary of the Borrower, derive substantial direct and indirect
benefits from the Credit Extensions made from time to time to the Borrower by
the Lenders and the Issuers pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the execution
and delivery of Rate Protection Agreements between the Borrower or any other
Obligor and certain Secured Parties, and each Guarantor agrees that the Secured
Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Credit Extensions
to the Borrower.
ARTICLE IV
COVENANTS, ETC.
SECTION 4.1. Covenants. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that, at
all times prior to the Termination Date, such Guarantor will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries to, perform, comply with and be bound by all the
agreements, covenants and obligations contained in Article VII of the Credit
Agreement applicable to such Guarantor, such Subsidiary or their respective
properties. Each such agreement, covenant and obligation contained in Article
VII of the Credit Agreement and all related definitions and ancillary provisions
are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty as though specifically set forth
herein.

extent required pursuant to the Credit Agreement, all Lenders).
SECTION 5.3. Amendments, etc. No amendment to or waiver of any
provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by any Guarantor
herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing
and signed by the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Lenders or the Required
Lenders, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 11.1 of the Credit Agreement)
and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance
and for the specific purpose for which given.

rights and obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall remain in full force
and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this
Guaranty.
SECTION 5.6. No Waiver; Remedies. In addition to, and not in limitation
of, Section 2.3 and Section 2.5, no failure on the part of any Secured Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; 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. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
remedies provided by law.

application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 of the Credit
Agreement. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify such Guarantor, the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made
by such Secured Party; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not
affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Secured
Party under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including
other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Secured
Party may have.
SECTION 5.9. Severability. Any provision of this Guaranty which is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such provision and
