Reaffirmation and Guaranty. Each Domestic Guarantor party to the Existing Guaranty affirms its obligations under, and the terms and conditions of, the Existing Guaranty and agrees that such obligations remain in full force and effect and hereby ratified, reaffirmed and confirmed. Each Domestic Guarantor party to the Existing Guaranty acknowledges and agrees with the Administrative Agent that the Existing Guaranty is amended, restated and superseded in its entirety pursuant to the terms hereof. Furthermore, each Domestic Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, as a guarantee of payment and not merely as a guarantee of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of any and all existing and future Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Affiliates of the foregoing to whom Obligations are owed, and the respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns of each of the foregoing (each a “Holder of Obligations” and collectively the “Holders of Obligations”) (including all renewals, extensions and modifications thereof and all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Holders of Obligations in connection with the collection or enforcement thereof) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations” (provided, however, that the definition of “Guaranteed Obligations” shall not create any guarantee by any Domestic Guarantor of (or grant of security interest by any Domestic Guarantor to support, as applicable) any Excluded Swap Obligations of such Domestic Guarantor for purposes of determining any obligations of any Domestic Guarantor)). This Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Domestic Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each Domestic Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the greater of: (a) the net amount of all Loans and other extensions of credit (including Letters of Credit) advanced to another Loan Party under the Credit Agreement and directly or indirectly re-loaned or otherwise transferred to, or incurred for the benefit of, such

Domestic Guarantor, plus interest thereon at the applicable rate specified in the Credit Agreement; or (b) the amount which could be claimed by the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Obligations from such Domestic Guarantor under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes. The Domestic Guarantors hereby represent, warrant and jointly and severally agree that, as of the date of this Guaranty, their obligations under this Guaranty are not subject to any offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent or the Holders of Obligations or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of any kind. The Domestic Guarantors further jointly and severally agree that their obligations under this Guaranty shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Obligations or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations of any kind which may arise in the future. In accordance with Section 2.17 of the Credit Agreement, all payments required to be made by each Domestic Guarantor hereunder shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made to the Holders of Obligations free and clear of, and without reduction or withholding for, any Taxes. If any Domestic Guarantor shall be required by the Code or any other applicable Law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder, (a) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as much as shall be necessary so that after such withholding or deduction has been made (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2) the Holders of Obligations receive an amount equal to the sum they would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) such Domestic Guarantor shall make such deductions as are determined to be required based upon the information and documentation received pursuant to Section 2.17(f) of the Credit Agreement, and (c) such Domestic Guarantor shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxing or other authority in accordance with the Code or such other applicable Law. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, after the payment of such Taxes, each applicable Domestic Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Subject to Section 2.17(d) of the Credit Agreement, each Domestic Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify and, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, pay each Holder of Obligations for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Holder of Obligations in respect of any sum payable hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to any amounts payable under this Section 2 by any Holder of Obligations) and any liability (including 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. Each Domestic Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17(g) as if it were a Borrower.

No Termination. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If at any time any payment of the principal of or interest on any Loan, Obligation or any other amount payable by the Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any Swap Contract, any Banking Services Agreement or any other Loan Document (including a payment effected through exercise of a right of setoff) is rescinded, or is or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by

a Holder of Obligations in its discretion), each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time. Payment by Domestic Guarantors shall be made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds in Dollars or, as applicable, such other currency in which the related Guaranteed Obligations are required to be paid pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and shall be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, if currency control or exchange regulations are imposed in the country which issues such currency with the result that such currency (the “Original Currency”) no longer exists or the relevant Domestic Guarantor is not able to make payment in such Original Currency, then all payments to be made by such Domestic Guarantor hereunder in such currency shall instead be made when due in Dollars in an amount equal to the Dollar Amount (as of the date of payment) of such payment due, it being the intention of the parties hereto that each Domestic Guarantor takes all risks of the imposition of any such currency control or exchange regulations.

Waiver of Notices. Each Domestic Guarantor waives notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the extension or continuation of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof. Each Domestic Guarantor further waives presentment, protest, notice, dishonor or default, demand for payment and any other notices to which such Domestic Guarantor might otherwise be entitled.

Subrogation. No Domestic Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and any amounts payable under this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid and performed in full and any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any amounts are paid to any Domestic Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of Obligations and shall promptly be paid to the Administrative Agent and shall be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

Indemnification. To the extent that any Domestic Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (any such payment, a “Guarantor Payment”) that, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Domestic Guarantor, exceeds the amount that such Domestic Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Domestic Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion that such Domestic Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Domestic Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the termination of any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, such Domestic Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Domestic Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Domestic Guarantor Payment. As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Domestic Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Domestic Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Domestic Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Domestic Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Domestic Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions. This Section 6 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Domestic Guarantors and nothing set forth in this Section 6 is

intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Domestic Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty. The rights of the parties under this Section 6 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Guaranty and the termination of any commitments of the Lenders or facilities provided by the Lenders with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Domestic Guarantor or Domestic Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

Waiver of Suretyship Defenses. Each Domestic Guarantor agrees that the Holders of Obligations may, at any time and from time to time, and without notice to the Domestic Guarantor, make any agreement with any Borrower or with any other person or entity liable on any of the Guaranteed Obligations for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release of the Guaranteed Obligations, or for any modification or amendment of the terms thereof or of any instrument or agreement evidencing the Guaranteed Obligations, all without in any way impairing, releasing, discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of such Domestic Guarantor under this Guaranty. Each Domestic Guarantor waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Borrower, or any claim that such Domestic Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower and waives the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the liability of such Domestic Guarantor hereunder. Each Domestic Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which any Holder of Obligations now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Holder of Obligations.

Exhaustion of Other Remedies Not Required. The obligations of each Domestic Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Domestic Guarantor waives diligence by the Holders of Obligations and action on delinquency in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, including, without limitation any provisions of law requiring any Holder of Obligations to exhaust any right or remedy or to take any action against any Borrower, any other guarantor or any other person, entity or property before enforcing this Guaranty against such Domestic Guarantor.

Reinstatement. Notwithstanding anything in this Guaranty to the contrary, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is revoked, terminated, rescinded or reduced or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other person or entity or otherwise, as if such payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any other Holder of Obligations is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.

10.

Subordination. Each Domestic Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of any Loan Party owing to such Domestic Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of any Loan Party to such Domestic Guarantor as subrogee of the Holders of Obligations or resulting from such Domestic Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full of all Guaranteed Obligations. Upon the occurrence of, and during the continuation of, an Event of Default, if the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Holders of Obligations, so requests, any such obligation or indebtedness of any Loan Party to such Domestic Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such

Domestic Guarantor as trustee for the Holders of Obligations and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations and shall be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Domestic Guarantor under this Guaranty.

11.

Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other person or entity, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each Domestic Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Administrative Agent.

12.

Expenses. Each Domestic Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the enforcement or protection of the Holders’ of Obligations rights under this Guaranty, including any incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the Holders of Obligations in any case commenced by or against such Domestic Guarantor under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any similar or successor statute. The obligations of each Domestic Guarantor under the preceding sentence shall survive termination of this Guaranty.

13.

Amendments. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent and each Domestic Guarantor.

14.

No Waiver; Enforceability. No failure by the Holders of Obligations to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of any other provision herein. The obligations hereunder shall not be affected, limited or impaired by any acts of any legislative body or governmental authority affecting any Borrower, including but not limited to, any restrictions on or regarding the conversion of currency or repatriation or control of funds or any total or partial expropriation of any Borrower’s property, or by any economic, political, regulatory or other events in the countries where such Borrower is located.

15.

Binding Effect; Assignment. This Guaranty shall (a) subject to Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement, bind each Domestic Guarantor and its successors and assigns; provided, that no Domestic Guarantor may assign its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void) and (b) inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Obligations and their respective successors and assigns and any Holder of Obligations may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, without notice to the Domestic Guarantor and without affecting the Domestic Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, assign or sell participations in the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty, in whole or in part. Each Domestic Guarantor agrees that the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Obligations may, subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, disclose to any prospective purchaser of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all information in such Person’s possession concerning such Domestic Guarantor, this Guaranty and any security for this Guaranty.

16.

Condition of the Borrowers. Each Domestic Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from each Borrower such information concerning the financial condition, business and operations of such Borrower as such Domestic

Guarantor requires, and that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Holder of Obligations has any duty, and such Domestic Guarantor is not relying on any Holder of Obligations at any time, to disclose to such Domestic Guarantor any information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of any Borrower.

17.

Setoff. If and to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, each Holder of Obligations and each of their respective 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 such Holder of Obligations or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Domestic Guarantor against any and all of the obligations of such Domestic Guarantor now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to such Holder of Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Holder of Obligations shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Domestic Guarantor may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Holder of Obligations different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Holder of Obligations and their respective Affiliates under this Section 17 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Holder of Obligations or its respective Affiliates may have. Each Holder of Obligations agrees to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

18.

Foreign Currency. If any claim arising under or related to this Guaranty is reduced to judgment denominated in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currencies in which the applicable Guaranteed Obligations are denominated (collectively the “Obligations Currency”), the judgment shall be for the equivalent in the Judgment Currency of the amount of the claim denominated in the Obligations Currency included in the judgment, determined as of the date of judgment.

Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Domestic Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Specified Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 31 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 31 or otherwise under this Guaranty voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 31 shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and the other Loan Documents.
