(b)   Additional Waivers. The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, and any and all notice of the creation, renewal, modification, extension or accrual of the Guaranteed Obligations, or the reliance by the Lender upon this Guaranty, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.

If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Finance Documents.

To the extent any payment is so rescinded, set aside, voided or otherwise repaid or restored, the Guaranteed Obligations shall be revived in full force and effect without reduction or discharge for such payment. All losses, damages, costs and expenses that the Lender may suffer or incur as a result of any voided or otherwise set aside payments shall be specifically covered by the indemnity in favor of the Lender contained in Section 14.

SECTION 8   Payments. The Guarantor hereby agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing provisions of this Guaranty and not in limitation of any other right which the Lender or any other Person may have against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Obligor to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under §362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), the Guarantor shall forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Lender an amount equal to the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid (including interest which, but for the filing of a petition in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to the Obligor, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against the Obligor for such interest in any such Insolvency Proceeding).

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each of the Lender and its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Guarantor or such other Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document to the Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not the Lender or its Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document and although such obligations of the Guarantor or such other Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or obligations or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of the Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 15 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which the Lender or its Affiliates may have. By its acceptance hereof, the Lender shall promptly notify the Guarantor after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

SECTION 16   Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Guaranty and in any other Guarantor Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Guaranty, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as the Lender has any Commitment or any Guaranteed Obligations remain unsatisfied. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor under Section 14 shall survive the satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of any Commitments.

SECTION 17   Benefits of Guaranty. This Guaranty is entered into for the sole protection and benefit of the Lender and its successors and assigns, and no other Person (other than any Related Party specified herein) shall be a direct or indirect beneficiary of, or shall have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Guaranty. The Lender, by its acceptance of this Guaranty, shall not have any obligations under this Guaranty to any Person other than the Guarantor, and such obligations shall be limited to those expressly stated herein.

SECTION 18   Binding Effect; Assignment.

(a)   Binding Effect. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Lender and its successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns. Delivery by the Guarantor of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Guaranty by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Guaranty.

(b)   Assignment. The Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights and obligations hereunder or under any other Guarantor Documents without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Lender may, without notice to or consent by the Guarantor, sell, assign, transfer or grant participations in all or any portion of the Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Guarantor Documents in connection with any sale, assignment, transfer or grant of a participation by the Lender under the Facilities Agreements of its rights and obligations thereunder and under the other Finance Documents. The Guarantor agrees that in connection with any such sale, assignment, transfer or grant by the Lender, the Lender may deliver to the prospective participant or assignee financial statements and other relevant information relating to the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries. In the event of any grant of a participation, the participant (i) shall be deemed to have a right of setoff under Section 15 in respect of its participation to the same extent as if it were the “Lender,” provided that such participant shall have agreed to share any amount so realized with the Lender on terms and conditions satisfactory to the Lender; and (ii) shall also be entitled to the benefits of Section 14.

SECTION 19   Governing Law. This Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document (except, as to any other Guarantor Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.

SECTION 20   Submission to Jurisdiction.

(a)   Submission to Jurisdiction. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or in tort or otherwise, against the Lender or any Related Party of the Lender in any way relating to this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the Guarantor and the Lender (by its acceptance hereof) irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the jurisdiction of such  courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court.  Each of the Guarantor and the Lender (by its acceptance hereof) agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation 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 or in any other Guarantor Document shall affect any right that the Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty or any other Finance Document against the Guarantor or any other Credit Party or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(b)   Waiver of Venue. The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document in any court referred to in subsection (a) of this Section. Each of the Guarantor and the Lender (by its acceptance hereof) hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

(c)   Service of Process. Each of the Guarantor and the Lender (by its acceptance hereof) irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Guaranty will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

SECTION 21   Waiver of Jury Trial. THE GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF) HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED ON OR ARISING FROM ANY GUARANTOR DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE GUARANTOR DOCUMENTS.

SECTION 22   Entire Agreement; Amendments and Waivers.

(a)   Entire Agreement. This Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents constitute the entire agreement of the Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein and supersede any prior agreements, commitments, drafts, communications, discussions and understandings, oral or written, with respect thereto. There are no conditions to the full effectiveness of this Guaranty.

(b)   Amendments and Waivers. This Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents may not be amended except by a writing signed by the Guarantor and the Lender. No waiver of any rights of the Lender under any provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Lender. Any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

SECTION 23   Lender Not a Fiduciary to Guarantor. The relationship between the Guarantor and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Lender and its Affiliates, on the other hand, is solely that of debtor and creditor, and neither the Lender not any Affiliate thereof shall have any fiduciary or other special relationship with the Guarantor or any of its Affiliates, and no term or provision of any Finance Document, no course of dealing, no written or oral communication, or other action, shall be construed so as to deem such relationship to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

SECTION 24   Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Lender could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the business day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Guarantor in respect of any such sum due from it to the Lender shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Finance Documents (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the business day following receipt by the Lender of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Lender may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Lender from such Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, the Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Lender or the Person to whom such obligation was owing against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Lender in such currency, the Lender (by its acceptance hereof) agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law). The agreements in this Section 24 shall survive the termination of any Commitments and the repayment of all Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 25   Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty and the other Guarantor Documents shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Guaranty or any other Guarantor Document shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation in any jurisdiction, it shall, as to such jurisdiction, be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without affecting the remaining provisions of this Guaranty or such Guarantor Document, as the case may be, or the validity or effectiveness of such provision in any other jurisdiction

SECTION 26   USA PATRIOT Act Notice. The Guarantor acknowledges notice from the Lender that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), the Lender is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Guarantor, which information includes the name and address of the Guarantor and other information that will allow the Lender to identify the Guarantor in accordance with the Act. The Guarantor shall, promptly following a request by the Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
