AGREEMENT

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged and stipulated to by the Guarantor, the Guarantor covenants and agrees as follows.

1. Definitions. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth herein, or if not defined herein, in the Credit Agreement.

2. Guaranty.

(a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally, guarantees the prompt, complete and full payment of all of the Borrower’s Obligations under the Credit Agreement, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration or otherwise, and the punctual performance and observance by the Borrower of all of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement, and agrees to pay to the Lender upon demand all losses, damages and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees) resulting from or incurred in connection with (A) any breach by the Borrower of such obligations, covenants and agreements or (B) any action to enforce this Agreement (all such amounts so guaranteed and such terms, covenants, conditions and agreements so guaranteed are referred to herein as the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantor represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the Guarantor will benefit from the execution, delivery and performance by the Lender of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the advancement of funds to the Borrower pursuant thereto, (b) the loan by the Lender constitutes valuable consideration to the Guarantor,

(c) this Agreement is intended to be an inducement to the Lender to execute, deliver and perform the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to extend credit to the Borrower, whether the Obligations were created or acquired before or after the date of this Agreement, and (d) the Lender is relying upon this Agreement in making the Loan and advancing funds to the Borrower. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, it is intended that this Agreement not constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance (as defined below). Consequently, the Guarantor agrees that if this Agreement would, but for the application of this sentence, constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable only to the maximum extent that would not cause this Agreement to constitute a Fraudulent Conveyance, and this Agreement shall automatically be deemed to have been amended accordingly at all relevant times. For purposes hereof, “Fraudulent Conveyance” means a fraudulent conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under the provisions of any applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law, order, ruling, decision or similar law, order, ruling or decision binding upon the undersigned of any foreign, federal, state, municipal or other government, or any department, commission, board, bureau, agency, public authority or instrumentality thereof or any court or arbitrator, as in effect from time to time.

(b) This is a continuing guarantee relating to the Guaranteed Obligations, including any renewal, modification or extension of the Guaranteed Obligations whether or not any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations has been satisfied. This Agreement is not revocable. Notwithstanding the full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Agreement shall remain in effect or be reinstated with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations if, in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings filed by or against the Borrower, a court enters an order or judgment compelling or requiring the Lender to return any or all payments made with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.

(c) The obligations hereunder are independent of the Obligations of the Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against the Guarantor whether action is brought against the Borrower or whether the Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; and the Guarantor waives the benefit of any applicable statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof to the extent permitted by law. Any partial payment by the Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrower shall operate to toll the applicable statute of limitations as to the Guarantor.

(d) The Guarantor authorizes the Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or under any other document related to the Guaranteed Obligations to which the Guarantor is a party, from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, amend, waive, restructure, refinance, release, accelerate or otherwise modify, amend or change the time for payment of, or otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation, increasing or decreasing the Facility Cap (as that term is defined in the Credit Agreement) or the rate of interest as stated in the Credit Agreement or otherwise; (b) accept new or additional documents, instruments or agreements relative to the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) consent to the change, restructure or termination of the corporate structure of the Borrower and correspondingly restructure the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) take and hold security or additional guarantees for the payment of this Agreement or the Guaranteed Obligations, and amend, alter, exchange, substitute, transfer,

enforce, waive, subordinate, terminate or release any such security; (e) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its discretion may determine; (f) release or substitute any one or more of the endorsers or guarantors; (g) reduce or increase the outstanding amount owed by the Borrower under the Loan Documents; (h) release any of the Collateral; (i) accept partial payment or performance on the Obligations; (j) settle, compromise, release, substitute, impair, enforce or exercise, or fail or refuse to enforce or exercise, any claims, rights, or remedies, of any kind or nature, which the Lender may at any time have against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, or with respect to any security interest of any kind held by the Lender at any time, whether under any Loan Document or otherwise; and (k) take or fail to take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Obligations.

(e) The Guarantor waives any right to require the Lender to (a) proceed against the Borrower or any other person; (b) proceed against or exhaust any security held from the Borrower; or (c) pursue any other remedy in the Lender’s power whatsoever. The Lender may, at its election, exercise any right or remedy it may have against the Borrower or any security held by the Lender, including, without limitation, the right to collect the Borrower’s receivables or foreclose upon any security by judicial or non-judicial sale, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and performed, and the Guarantor waives any defense arising out of the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against the Borrower or any such security, whether resulting from such election by the Lender, or otherwise. The Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal. The Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Borrower. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid and performed in full (other than indemnity obligations with respect to which no claim has been made), the Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and the Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which the Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against the Borrower, and waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Lender. The Guarantor waives all presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Agreement and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional obligations.

(f) The Guarantor hereby expressly waives, and agrees not to assert in any action to enforce this Agreement any defenses that may be asserted by the Borrower under the Credit Agreement. The Guarantor shall be primarily liable for the Guaranteed Obligations and the Lender may invoke the benefits of this Agreement without pursuing any remedies against the Borrower, without the necessity of joining all guarantors in any action hereon, and without proceeding against any collateral for such obligations.

3. [Reserved].

4. Subordination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other document to which the Guarantor is a party, the Guarantor shall not exercise any rights

Guaranty Agreement, Page 3

to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, setoff or any other rights that could accrue to a surety against a principal, to a guarantor against a maker or obligor, to an accommodation party against the party accommodated, or to a holder or transferee against a maker, and which the Guarantor may have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other person in connection with or as a result of the Guarantor’s performance of this Agreement or any other document to which the Guarantor is a party, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full (other than indemnity obligations with respect to which no claim has been made). The Guarantor shall not have or assert any such rights against the Borrower or its successors and assigns or any other person (including any surety), either directly or as an attempted set off to any action commenced against the Guarantor by the Borrower (as borrower or in any other capacity), the Lender or any other person unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full (other than indemnity obligations with respect to which no claim has been made). The Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Lender and shall not limit or otherwise affect the Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement, under any other document to which the Guarantor is a party, or the enforceability hereof or thereof. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the preceding subordination, the Guarantor agrees that any payments made by the Guarantor under this Agreement shall be deemed a contribution to the capital of the Borrower or other obligated party and any such payment shall not cause the Guarantor to become a creditor of the Borrower or any other such party unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full (other than indemnity obligations with respect to which no claim has been made).

5. [Reserved].
