“Obligor” shall mean any Person that, or any of whose property, is or shall be obligated on the Debt or any part thereof in any manner and includes, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Borrower or Guarantor, and any other co-maker, endorser, guarantor of payment, subordinating creditor, assignor, grantor of a security interest, pledgor, mortgagor or any hypothecator of property, if any.

“Person” shall mean any individual, sole proprietorship, partnership, joint venture, unincorporated organization, corporation, limited liability company, institution, trust, estate, government or other agency or political subdivision thereof or any other entity.

3. Guaranty of Debt. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (as a guaranty of payment and not merely a guaranty of collection) the prompt payment in full of all of the Debt as and when the respective parts thereof become due and payable. If the Debt, or any part thereof, shall not be paid in full when due and payable, Agent, on behalf of the Banks, in each case, shall have the right to proceed directly against Guarantor under this Agreement to collect the payment in full of the Debt, regardless of whether or not Agent, on behalf of the Banks, shall have theretofore proceeded or shall then be proceeding against any Borrower or any other Obligor or Collateral, if any, or any of the foregoing, it being understood that Agent and the Banks, in their sole discretion may proceed against any Obligor and any Collateral, and may

exercise each right, power or privilege that Agent or the Banks may then have, either simultaneously or separately, and, in any event, at such time or times and as often and in such order as Agent and the Required Banks, in their sole discretion, may from time to time deem expedient to collect the payment in full of the Debt. Guarantor agrees that all payments made by Guarantor under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes, in accordance with Section 3.2 of the Credit Agreement.

4. Payments Conditional. Whenever Agent or any Bank shall credit any payment to the Debt or any part thereof, whatever the source or form of payment, the credit shall be conditional as to Guarantor unless and until the payment shall be final and valid as to all the world. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor agrees that if any check or other instrument so applied shall be dishonored by the drawer or any party thereto, or if any proceeds of Collateral or payment so applied shall thereafter be recovered by any trustee in bankruptcy or any other Person, each Bank, in each case, may reverse any entry relating thereto on its books and Guarantor shall remain liable therefor, even if such Bank may no longer have in its possession any instrument evidencing the Debt to which the payment in question was applied.

5. Guarantor’s Obligations Absolute and Unconditional. Regardless of the duration of time, regardless of whether any Borrower may from time to time cease to be indebted to the Banks and irrespective of any act, omission or course of dealing whatever on the part of Agent or any of the Banks, Guarantor’s liabilities and other obligations under this Agreement shall remain in full effect until the payment in full of the Debt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

5.1. Banks Have No Duty to Make Advances. No Bank shall at any time be under any duty to Guarantor to grant any financial accommodation to any Borrower, irrespective of any duty or commitment of any of the Banks to such Borrower, or to follow or direct the application of the proceeds of any such financial accommodation;

5.2. Guarantor’s Waiver of Notice, Presentment. Guarantor waives (a) notice of the granting of any Loan to any Borrower or the incurring of any other Indebtedness by any Borrower or the terms and conditions thereof, (b) presentment, demand for payment and notice of dishonor of the Debt or any part thereof, or any other Indebtedness incurred by any Borrower to any Bank, (c) notice of any indulgence granted to any Obligor, and (d) any other notice to which Guarantor might, but for this waiver, be entitled;

5.3. Banks’ Rights Not Prejudiced by Action or Omission. Agent and the Banks, in their sole discretion, may, without any prejudice to their rights under this Agreement, at any time or times, without notice to or the consent of Guarantor, (a) grant any Borrower whatever financial accommodations that Agent and the Banks may from time to time deem advisable, even if such Borrower might be in default in any respect and even if those financial accommodations might not constitute Indebtedness the payment of which is guaranteed hereunder, (b) assent to any renewal, extension, consolidation or refinancing of the Debt, or any part thereof, (c) forbear from demanding security, if Agent and the Banks shall have the right to do so, (d) release any Obligor or Collateral or assent to any exchange of Collateral, if any, irrespective of the

consideration, if any, received therefor, (e) grant any waiver or consent or forbear from exercising any right, power or privilege that Agent and the Banks may have or acquire, (f) assent to any amendment, deletion, addition, supplement or other modification in, to or of any writing evidencing or securing any Debt or pursuant to which any Debt is created, (g) grant any other indulgence to any Obligor, (h) accept any Collateral for, or any otter Obligor upon, the Debt or any part thereof, and (i) fail, neglect or omit in any way to realize upon any Collateral, to perfect any security interest with respect to Collateral, or to protect the Debt or any part thereof or any Collateral therefor;

5.4. Liabilities Survive Guarantor’s Dissolution. Guarantor’s liabilities and other obligations under this Agreement shall survive any dissolution of Guarantor; and

5.5. Liabilities Absolute and Unconditional. Guarantor’s liabilities and other obligations under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document evidencing the Loans or related thereto, or any other defense available to Guarantor in respect of this Agreement.

6. Representations and Warranties. Guarantor represents and warrants to Agent and each of the Banks that (a) Guarantor is a duly organized and validly existing corporation, in good standing under the laws of the state of its incorporation (as referenced in the first paragraph of this Agreement), and is qualified to do business in each state where a failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on Guarantor; (b) Guarantor has legal power and right to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform and observe the provisions hereof; (c) the officers executing and delivering this Agreement on behalf of Guarantor have been duly authorized to do so, and this Agreement, when executed, is legal and binding upon Guarantor in every respect; (d) except for matters described or referenced in the Credit Agreement or any Schedule thereto, no litigation or proceeding is pending or threatened against Guarantor before any court or any administrative agency that, in Guarantor’s opinion, after consultation with Guarantor’s counsel, is reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on Guarantor; (e) Guarantor has received consideration that is the reasonable equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that Guarantor has incurred to Agent, for the benefit of the Banks; (f) Guarantor is not insolvent, as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will Guarantor be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement to Agent and the Banks; (g) Guarantor is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained by Guarantor are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the obligations to the Banks incurred hereunder; and (h) Guarantor does not intend to, nor does Guarantor believe that Guarantor will, incur debts beyond Guarantor’s ability to pay such debts as they mature.

7. Disability of Obligor. Without limiting the generality of any of the other provisions hereof, Guarantor specifically agrees that upon the dissolution of any Obligor and/or the filing or other commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings by, for or against any Obligor, including without limitation, any assignment for the benefit of creditors or other proceedings intended to liquidate or rehabilitate any Obligor, Agent and the Required Banks, in their sole discretion, may declare the unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on the Debt to be forthwith due and payable in full without notice. Upon the occurrence of any of the

events enumerated in the immediately preceding sentence, Guarantor shall, upon demand of Agent, on behalf of the Banks, whenever made, pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Banks, an amount equal to the then unpaid principal balance of and accrued interest on the Debt.

8. Waiver of Guarantor’s Rights Against Borrowers and Collateral. To the extent permitted by law, Guarantor hereby waives and subordinates to payment in full of the Debt any claim or other right that Guarantor might now have or hereafter acquire against any Borrower or any other Obligor that arises from the existence or performance of Guarantor’s liabilities or other obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Agent or any Bank against any Borrower or any Collateral that Agent or any Bank now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law.

9. Maximum Liability of Guarantor. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the amount of Guarantor’s liability hereunder exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder and to any rights to contribution of Guarantor from other affiliates of Borrowers) would not render the rights to payment of Agent and the Banks hereunder void, voidable or avoidable under any applicable fraudulent transfer law.

10. Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Debt is stayed, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Person, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by Guarantor immediately upon demand by Agent.

11. Warrant of Attorney. Guarantor authorizes any attorney at law at any time or times to appear in any state or federal court of record in the State of Ohio after the Debt or any part thereof shall have become due and payable (whether the payments become due by lapse of time or by acceleration of maturity or otherwise) and in each case to waive the issuance and service of process, to admit the maturity of the Debt in question and the nonpayment thereof when due, to present each evidence of the Debt in question, or any part thereof, to the court and to certify the amount of the Debt then owing thereon, to confess judgment against Guarantor in favor of Agent and the Banks for the amount of the Debt then appearing due, together with interest and costs of suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and stay of execution. The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment, and, should any judgment be vacated for any reason, Agent and the Banks may nevertheless utilize the foregoing warrant of attorney in thereafter obtaining an additional judgment or judgments against Guarantor. Guarantor agrees that the attorney for Agent and the Banks may confess judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney. Guarantor further agrees that the attorney confessing judgment pursuant to the foregoing warrant of attorney may receive a legal fee or other compensation from Agent and the Banks.

12. Notice. All notices, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to Guarantor, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to it at the address specified on the signature page of this Agreement, if to a Bank, mailed or delivered to it,

addressed to the address of such Bank specified on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement or, as to each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered or two Business Days after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile with telephonic confirmation of receipt, except that notices from Guarantor to Agent or the Banks pursuant to any of the provisions hereof shall not be effective until received by Agent or the Banks.

13. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind Guarantor and Guarantor’s successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of Agent and each Bank and their respective successors and assigns, including (without limitation) each holder of any Note evidencing any Debt.

14. Invalidity. If, at any time, one or more provisions of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

15. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a final written expression of all of the terms of this Agreement, is a complete and exclusive statement of those terms and supersedes all oral representations, negotiations and prior writings, if any, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

16. Relationship of Parties; Setoff. The relationship between (a) Guarantor and (b) Agent and the Banks with respect to this Agreement is and shall be solely that of debtor and creditors, respectively, and Agent and the Banks shall have no fiduciary obligation toward Guarantor with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, Agent and each Bank may setoff and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with Agent and each Bank.

17. Headings. The headings and subheadings herein are for convenience of reference only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.

18. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Agreement and the respective rights and duties of Guarantor, Agent and the Banks hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with Ohio law, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Ohio state or federal court sitting in Dayton, Ohio, over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any Loan Document or any Related Writing, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Ohio state or federal court. Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any such action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS or

otherwise. Guarantor agrees that a final, nonappealable judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

19. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. GUARANTOR, AGENT AND THE BANKS, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AMONG AGENT, THE BANKS, BORROWERS AND GUARANTOR, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY AGENT’S OR EACH BANK’S ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGEMENT OR COGNOVIT PROVISION CONTAINED IN THE AGREEMENT, ANY NOTE OR ANY OTHER GUARANTY OF PAYMENT, AGREEMENT, INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.
