All Default Interest shall be payable on demand.

(d) The Lender shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing). Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 2.8. Fees. (a)Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a facility fee which shall accrue at the Applicable Facility Fee Rate (determined in the same manner as Section 2.07 of the Parent Credit Agreement) on the daily amount of the Commitment (whether used or unused) during the Availability Period; provided, that if the Lender continues to have any Revolving Loans or LC Exposure outstanding after the Commitment Termination Date, then the facility fee shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such outstanding Revolving Loans and/or LC Exposure from and after the Commitment Termination Date to the date that all of the Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and/or LC Exposure have been paid in full.

(b) Letter of Credit Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a letter of credit

fee equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurocurrency Loanson the average daily amount of the Lender’s

LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) attributable

actual over 365-day basis on all Eurocurrency Loans in an Alternative Currency in which the market practice in such currency is to use a 365-day basis. Each determination by the Lender of an interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for manifest error, shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes.

Section 2.10. Inability to Determine Interest Rates. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Eurocurrency Loan, the Lender shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that (i) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for the currency of such Eurocurrency Loan or for such Interest Period, or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the currency of such Eurocurrency Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lender of making, funding or maintaining such Eurocurrency Loan in such currency for such Interest Period, the Lender shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrower as soon as practicable thereafter. Until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) the obligation of the Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency or to continue any outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency shall be suspended and (ii) all Eurocurrency Loans in the affected currency shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower prepays such Eurocurrency Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

Section 2.11. Illegality. If any Change in Law shall make in unlawful or impossible for the Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurocurrency Loan in any currency, the Lender shall promptly give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon, until the Lender notifies the Borrower that the

circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lender to make Eurocurrency Loans in such currency, or to continue outstanding Eurocurrency Loans in such currency, shall be suspended. At the request of the Borrower, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, make such requested Revolving Loan as a Base Rate Loan or if the affected Eurocurrency Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be converted to a Base Rate Loan either (i) on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Eurocurrency Loan if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Loan to such date or (ii) immediately if the Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Loan to such date.

Section 2.12. Increased Costs.

If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Adjusted LIBO Rate hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, the Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on the Lender or the eurocurrency interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or any Eurocurrency Loans made by the Lender; and the result of the

foregoing is to increase the cost to the Lender of making, continuing or maintaining a Eurocurrency Loan or to increase the cost to the Lender of issuing any Letter of Credit or to

reduce the amount received or receivable by the Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest

or any other amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by the Lender, within five Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) If the Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Lender's capital (or on the capital of the Lender's parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which the Lender or the Lender's parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender's policies or the policies of the Lender's parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within five (5) Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by the Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender such additional amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender's parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its parent corporation, as the case may be, specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay the Lender such amount or amounts within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender's right to demand such compensation.

Section 2.13. Funding Indemnity. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a

result of an Event of Default), (b) the continuation of a Eurocurrency Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, or continue any Eurocurrency Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice (regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate the Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand from the Lender, for any loss, cost or expense attributable to such event. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.14 submitted to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

Section 2.14. Payments Generally.

The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 2.12, 2.13 or 2.15, or otherwise) prior to 1:00 p. m. (Atlanta, Georgia time in case of Dollars and in case of an Alternative Currency, local time in the city in which the Bank’s Correspondent is located), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Lender, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Lender at its Payment Office in the case of Dollars and at the Bank’s Correspondent in the case of an Alternative Currency. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such extension. All

payments hereunder shall be made in the same currency in which the underlying obligation is denominated.

Section 2.15. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(c) The Borrower shall indemnify the Lender, within five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Lender on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes

by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a

certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Lender.

Section 2.16. Letters of Credit.

(a) During the Availability Period, the Lender agrees to issue, at the request of the Borrower, Letters of Credit in Dollars or any Alternative Currency for the account of the Borrower on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; provided, that (i) each Letter of Credit shall expire on the earlier of (A) the date one year after the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (or in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (B) the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Commitment Termination Date; (ii) each Letter of Credit shall be in a stated amount of at least the Dollar Equivalent of $100,000 and (iii) the Borrower may not request any Letter of Credit, if, after giving effect to such issuance, the Dollar Equivalent of the LC Exposure, plus the Dollar Equivalent of the outstanding Revolving Loans would exceed the Commitment. All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.16.

(b) To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or any amendment, renewal or

extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall give the Lender irrevocable written

notice at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of such issuance specifying the date (which shall be a Business Day) such Letter of Credit is to be issued (or amended, extended or renewed, as the case may be), the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the amount and currency of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit. In addition to the satisfaction of the conditions in Article III, the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or any amendment which increases the amount of such Letter of Credit) will be subject to the further conditions that such Letter of Credit shall be in such form and contain such terms as the Lender shall approve and that the Borrower shall have executed and delivered any additional applications, agreements and instruments relating to such Letter of Credit as the Lender shall reasonably require; provided, that in the event of any conflict between such applications, agreements or instruments and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

(c) The Lender shall examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit promptly following its receipt thereof. The Lender shall notify the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether the Lender has made or will make a LC Disbursement thereunder; provided, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the Lender with respect to such LC Disbursement. The Borrower shall be irrevocably and unconditionally obligated to reimburse the Lender for any LC Disbursements paid by the Lender in respect of such drawing, without presentment, demand or other formalities of any kind.

If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice from the Lender demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Lender, in the name of the Lender and for the benefit of the Lender, an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure (and in the same currency as such LC Exposure) as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided, that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become

immediately due and payable, with demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in clause (g) or (h) of Section 6.1. Such deposit shall be held by the Lender as collateral for the payment and performance of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. The Lender shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Lender and at the Borrower's risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest and profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall applied by the Lender to reimburse itself for LC Disbursements for which it had not been reimbursed and to the extent so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not so applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower with three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

(e) The Borrower's obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of any of the following circumstances:

(i) Any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement;

(ii) The existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or any Persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or transferee may be acting), the Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement or the Letter of Credit or any document related hereto or thereto or any unrelated transaction;

(iii) Any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(iv) Payment by the Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document to the Lender that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(v) Any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower's obligations hereunder; or

(vi) The existence of a Default or an Event of Default.

Neither the Lender nor any Related Party of the Lender shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to above), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other

communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Lender; provided, that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse the Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by the Lender's failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts or other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree, that in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Lender (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), the Lender shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Lender may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(f) Each Letter of Credit shall be subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits (1993 Revision), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No.500, as the same may be amended from time to time, and, to the extent not inconsistent therewith, the governing law of this Agreement set forth in Section 7.5.

Section 2.17. International as Agent for the Borrower. The Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Outback Steakhouse International, L. P. (acting through the authorized officers of its general partner, OSI International, Inc. (in such capacity, “International”)) to take such action and deliver and receive notices hereunder (including without limitation all Notices of Borrowing and Notices of Continuation) as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as delegated to it by the terms hereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, for administrative convenience of the parties hereto, the Lender shall send all notices and communications to be sent to the Borrower solely to International and may rely solely upon International to receive all such notices and other communications for and on behalf of the Borrower. No Person other than International may act as agent for the Borrower without the written consent of the Lender.

Section 2.18. Currency Provisions. All payments hereunder shall be made in Dollars or an Alternative Currency, as the case may be, based on the currency in which a Revolving Loan is made or in which a Letter of Credit is issued. Such requirement is of the essence hereof. If payment is not made in the currency due under this Agreement (the “Contractual Currency”) or if any court or tribunal shall render a judgment or order for the payment of amounts due hereunder, under the Revolving Note or under any Letter of Credit and such judgment is expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency, the Borrower shall indemnify and hold the Lender harmless against any deficiency incurred by the Lender with respect to the amount received by the Lender to the extent the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is convertible into the currency actually received or the currency in which the judgment is expressed (the “Received Currency”) is not the reciprocal of the rate of exchange at which the Lender would be able to purchase the Contractual Currency with the Received Currency, in each case on the Business Day following receipt of the Received Currency in accordance with normal banking procedures. If the court or tribunal has fixed the date on which the rate of exchange is determined for the conversion of the judgment currency into the Contractual Currency (the “Conversion Date”) and if there

is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing betweenthe Conversion Date and the date of receipt by the Lender, then the Borrower will, notwithstanding such judgment or order, pay such additional amount (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Received Currency when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of receipt will produce the amount then due to the Lender from the Borrower hereunder in the Contractual Currency.

EXHIBIT B

GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as December__, 2003 (this “Guaranty Agreement”) among OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Parent”), OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE INTERNATIONAL L. P., a Georgia limited partnership, and OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE INTERNATIONAL, INC., a Florida corporation (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and SUNTRUST BANK, a Georgia banking corporation (the “Lender”)

Reference is made to the Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December __, 2003 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), between Outback Steakhouse Japan, KK (the “Borrower”) and the Lender. Capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

The Lender has agreed to make Revolving Loans to, and issue Letters of Credit for the account of, the Borrower, pursuant to, and upon the terms and subject to the conditions specified in, the Credit Agreement. The Borrower is an indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Parent and a direct wholly-owned Subsidiary of Outback Steakhouse International, L. P., one of the Guarantors, and an indirect Subsidiary of Outback Steakhouse International, Inc.. The Borrower and the Guarantors constitute a consolidated group of companies, and the Guarantors acknowledge that they will derive substantial benefit from the making of the Revolving Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Lender to the Borrower. The obligations of the Lender to make Revolving Loans and to issue Letters of Credit are conditioned on, among other things, the execution and delivery by the Guarantors of this Guaranty Agreement. As consideration therefor and in order to induce the Lender to make Revolving Loans and to issue Letters of Credit, the Guarantors are willing to execute this Guaranty Agreement.

Accordingly, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Guarantee. Each Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, (a) the due and punctual payment of all Obligations, including without limitation (i) the principal of and premium, if any, and interest (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding) on the Revolving Loans, when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, upon one or more dates set for prepayment or otherwise, (ii) each payment required to be made by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement in respect of any Letter of Credit, when and as due, including payments in respect of reimbursement or disbursements, interest thereon and obligations to provide cash collateral, and (iii) all other monetary obligations, including fees, costs, expenses and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct, contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding), of the Borrower to the Lender under the Credit Agreement, (b) the due and punctual performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower under or pursuant to the Credit Agreement; and (c) the due and punctual payment and performance of all obligations of the Borrower, monetary or otherwise, under each Hedging Agreement entered into with the Lender or an affiliate of the Lender (all the monetary and other obligations referred to in the preceding clauses (a) through (c) being collectively called the "Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to

or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

SECTION 2. Obligations Not Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to the Borrower of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against the Borrower or any other Guarantor under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Guaranty Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement, or (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any collateral held by or on behalf of the Lender.

SECTION 3. Security. Each of the Guarantors authorizes the Lender to (a) take and hold collateral for payment of this Guaranty Agreement and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such collateral, (b) apply such collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine and (c) release or substitute any one or more endorsees, other guarantors of other obligors.

SECTION 4. Guarantee of Payment. Each Guarantor agrees that its guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Lender to the collateral (if any) held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Lender in favor of the Borrower or any other person.

SECTION 5. No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee. The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to the extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 6. Defenses of Borrower Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower, other than the final and indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such collateral in lieu of

B-2

foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other guarantor, without affecting or impairing in any way the

liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully, finally and indefeasibly paid in cash. Pursuant to applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral.

SECTION 7. Agreement to Pay. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Lender has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Lender in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Lender, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 8. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that the Lender will not have any duty to advise it or any of the other Guarantors of information known to it regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 9. Indemnity and Subrogation. In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6), the Borrower agrees that (a) in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment, and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment, and (b) in the event any assets of any Guarantor shall be sold to satisfy a claim of the Lender under this Guaranty Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor in an amount equal to the greater of the book value or the fair market value of the assets so sold.

SECTION 10. Contribution and Subrogation. Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 6) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor under this Guaranty Agreement or assets of any other Guarantor shall be sold to satisfy a claim of the Lender and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 9, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount equal to the amount of such payment or the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets, as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 26, the date of the Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 10 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Guarantor under Section 9 to the extent of such payment.

B-3

SECTION 11. Subordination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Guaranty Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Section 9 and Section 10 and all other rights

of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligationsand liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

SECTION12. Representations and Warranties. The Parent represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:

(a) Each Guarantor (i) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite organizational power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where its ownership of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so qualified would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration or filing with, any Person (including without limitation any Governmental Authority) is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by any Guarantor of the Guaranty Agreement, or the validity or enforceability against any Guarantor of the Guaranty Agreement or any the transactions contemplated hereby, other than such consents, authorizations or filings which have been made or obtained.

SECTION 13. Covenants Incorporated by Reference. (a) So long as any of the

Guaranteed Obligations remains unpaid or unsatisfied, the Parent hereby covenants and agrees that it shall, and shall cause the other Guarantors to, comply with all covenants and agreements applicable to them contained in Articles V (Affirmative Covenants) and VI (Negative Covenants) of the Parent Credit Agreement, which covenants and agreements (together with all relevant definitions) are hereby incorporated by reference into this Guaranty Agreement. References to “Borrower” and “Banks” or “Bank” in such covenants shall refer to the Parent and the Lender, respectively. Waivers and/or amendments of such covenants and agreements by the “Banks” or “Required Banks” under the Parent Credit Agreement shall not operate to amend or waive such covenants and agreements as incorporated by reference herein unless the Lender, as a “Bank” in the Parent Credit Agreement, has agreed to any such waiver and/or amendment, in which case such waiver and/or amendment shall be automatically incorporated herein by reference. Such covenants and agreements shall survive any termination, cancellation, discharge or replacement of the Parent Credit Agreement, and if this Guaranty Agreement remains outstanding after the Parent Credit Agreement has been cancelled or otherwise terminated or if the Lender is no longer a party thereto for any reason, the Parent shall, upon the request of the Lender, enter into an amendment to this Guaranty Agreement to add such covenants (with any amendments thereto that the Lender deems necessary and which are agreed upon by the Parent) to this Guaranty Agreement.

(b) To the extent the Lender receives documents (including financial statements) and certificates under the Parent Credit Agreement, such documents and certificates shall be deemed delivered under this Guaranty Agreement.

SECTION 14. Termination. The guarantees made hereunder (a) shall terminate when all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash and the Lender has no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the LC Exposure has been reduced to zero and the Lender has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement and (b) shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Lender or any Guarantor upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Guarantor or otherwise. In connection with the foregoing, the Lender shall execute and deliver to the Parent, as agent for all Guarantors, at the Parent’s expense, any documents or instruments which the Parent shall reasonably request from time to time to evidence such termination and release.

SECTION 15. Binding Effect; Several Agreement; Assignments. Whenever in this Guaranty Agreement any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the Guarantors that are contained in this Guaranty Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of each party hereto and their respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty Agreement shall become effective as to any Guarantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guarantor shall have been delivered to the Lender, and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Lender, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guarantor and the Lender and their respective successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guarantor, the Lender and the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such attempted assignment shall be void). This Guaranty Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guarantor and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guarantor without the approval of any other Guarantor and without affecting the obligations of any other Guarantor hereunder.

B-5

SECTION 16. Waivers; Amendment. (a) No failure or delay of the Lender of any kind in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Lender hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies that the Lender would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Guaranty Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) below, and then such waiver and consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice or demand on any Guarantor in any case shall entitle such Guarantor to any other or further notice in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Guaranty Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to a written agreement entered into between the Guarantor or Guarantors with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification relates and the Lender.

SECTION 19. Survival of Agreement; Severability. (a) All covenants, agreements representations and warranties made by the Guarantors herein and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender and shall survive the making by the Lender of the Revolving Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit by the Lender regardless of any investigation made by any of them or on their behalf, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Revolving Loan or any other fee or amount payable under this Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or the LC Exposure does not equal zero and as long as the Commitment has not been terminated.

(b) In the event one or more of the provisions contained in this Guaranty Agreement or in any other Loan Document should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a

B-6

particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

SECTION 20. Counterparts. This Guaranty Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract (subject to Section 15), and shall become effective as provided in Section 15.

SECTION 21. Rules of Interpretation. The rules of interpretation specified in Section 1.2 of the Credit Agreement shall be applicable to this Guaranty Agreement.

SECTION 22. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Georgia State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in Atlanta, Georgia, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Georgia State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final 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. Nothing in this Guaranty Agreement shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Documents against any Guarantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b) Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Agreement or the other Loan Documents in any Georgia State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c) Each party to this Guaranty Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 18. Nothing in this Guaranty Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Guaranty Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 23. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO HERBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 23.

B-7

SECTION 24. Right of 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 any Guarantor against any or all the obligations of such Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty Agreement and the other Loan Documents held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Guaranty Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 24 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 25. Savings Clause.

(a) It is the intent of each Guarantor and the Lender that each Guarantor’s (other than the Parent, to which this Section does not apply) maximum obligations hereunder shall be, but not in excess of:

(i) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor (other than the Parent) under the provisions of Title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”) on or within one year from the date on which any of the Guaranteed Obligations are incurred, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor owed to the Lender) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(ii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor (other than the Parent) under the Bankruptcy Code subsequent to one year from the date on which any of the Guaranteed Obligations are incurred, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Lender) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code; or

(iii) in a case or proceeding commenced by or against any Guarantor (other than the Parent) under any law, statute or regulation other than the Bankruptcy Code (including, without limitation, any other bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, readjustment of debt, dissolution, liquidation or similar debtor relief laws), the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Lender) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor under such law, statute or regulation including, without limitation, any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in any such case or proceeding.

The substantive laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Lender) as may be determined in any case or proceeding shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. To the extent set forth in Section 25(a) (i), (ii), and (iii), but only to the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations would otherwise be subject to avoidance or found unenforceable under the Avoidance Provisions, if any Guarantor (other than the Parent) is not deemed to have received valuable consideration, fair value or reasonably equivalent value for the Guaranteed Obligations, or if the

B-8

Guaranteed Obligations would render such Guarantor insolvent, or leave such Guarantor with an unreasonably small capital to conduct its business, or cause such Guarantor to have incurred debts (or to have intended to have incurred debts) beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature, in each case as of the time any of the Guaranteed Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions and after giving effect to the contribution by such Guarantor, the maximum Guaranteed Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not cause the Guaranteed Obligations (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Lender), as so reduced, to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the Avoidance Provisions.

This Section 25 is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lender hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the Guaranteed Obligations of any Guarantor to be subject to avoidance or unenforceability under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither the Guarantors nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section 25 as against the Lender that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Guaranty Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
