applied, after giving effect to all other payments made on such date to all Lenders other than in respect of Later Notes, as follows:

(i) The aggregate amount of all Redirected Principal Payments (if any) received on such date, together with all accrued interest paid in respect thereof, shall be applied (x) to the payment in full in cash of the Initial Lender Exposure outstanding on such date (first to principal and, with respect to accrued interest paid by the Borrower in respect of such principal amount, accrued interest thereon, second to interest and thereafter to any other outstanding amounts then due to the Initial Lender hereunder), and (y) thereafter,pro rata based on the principal amount of Later Notes held by such holders, among the holders of the Later Notes, to the payment of principal of the Later Notes; and

SECTION 2.13. Payments and Computations.

(a) Subject to the last sentence of thissubsection (a), on each Payment Date, the Borrower shall deposit in same day funds in the Payment Account the amount required to make all payments due on such Payment Date no later than 1:00 p.m. on such Payment Date. The Administrative Agent in accordance withSection 2.05 (includingsubsection (c) thereof) shall set-off and apply any and all deposits held in the Payment Account against such amounts due and payable hereunder. Subject toSection 2.05(c), the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.14) to the Lenders, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant toSection 9.07(c), subject toSection 2.05(c), from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves. Notwithstanding any provision of any Loan Document to the contrary, after the payment in full in cash of all amounts outstanding under the Initial Lender’s Note(s), any Lender (other than the Initial Lender) may, upon one Business Day prior written notice to the Borrower (with a copy thereof sent to the Administrative Agent), request that the Borrower (and, after receipt of any such notice made in accordance herewith, the Borrower shall) make one or more of the payments from time to time due to such other Lender hereunder as directed by such other Lender in lieu of making such payments to the Payment Account.

(b) All computations of interest determined by reference to the Alternate Reference Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the

case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be deemed due, and shall be made, on the next succeeding Business Day;provided,however, that, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of the Loan while it is bearing interest based on the Eurodollar Rate to be made in the next following calendar quarter, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day. Any such extension or compression of time shall in such case be included in the computation of such payment of interest.

SECTION 2.14. Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made, in accordance withSection 2.13, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Lender or Agent, (i) except in the case of Lender Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) receives 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, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other governmental authority and in accordance therewith.

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender and each Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, taxes of any kind (other than Lender Taxes) imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section), but excluding Lender Taxes, imposed on any payments made hereunder or that arise from the execution, delivery or registration of, or performance under, this Agreement or paid by such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a taxing authority

by the Borrower, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to inSection 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment.

(e) If any Lender is not a United States person, such Lender agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower, prior to the date on which the first payment to such Lender is due hereunder and (so long as it remains eligible to do so) from time to time thereafter, (i) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest to zero, (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (iii) if such Lender is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), an accurate and complete original signed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that such Lender is not a United States person, together with a statement certifying that such Lender is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, as appropriate. Each Lender further agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax. If any Lender is a United States person, it agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower a statement signed by an authorized signatory of such Lender to the effect that it is a United States person together with a duly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form establishing that such Lender is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender has failed to comply with its obligations undersubsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be provided), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification undersubsection (a) or(c) above with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure;provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to comply withsubsection (e) above, the Borrower shall take such steps as the Lender shall reasonably request to assist the Lender to recover such Taxes.

(g) Each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to avoid the imposition of any Taxes for which the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts pursuant toSection 2.14(a) hereof;provided,however, that such efforts shall not require any Lender to incur additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens that such Lender considers in its good faith reasonable judgment to be material.

SECTION 2.15. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the Loan owing to it (other than amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.14 and/or amounts received by the Administrative Agent and/or the Initial Lender pursuant toSection 2.05(c)) in excess of its ratable share of payments on account of the Loan obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loan owing to them as shall be necessary to cause

such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them;provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each Lender shall be rescinded and such Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(a) Subject toSection 7.01(b), until all amounts owed to the Initial Lender in respect of its Note(s) are paid in full in cash, each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes MGIC to act as the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters expressly provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as being subject to the discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, such matters shall be subject to the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Loan), neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders;provided, however, that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law. During any time that a Key Man Event has occurred with respect to both of the individuals referred to in the definition thereof, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agree to use reasonable commercial efforts to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) the Borrower agrees to simultaneously give each Lender other than the Initial Lender (and, at any time that the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, is not MGIC or an Affiliate of MGIC, the Initial Lender) a copy of each report or other written information provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent. Except for

the contractual duties expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Lender (by acceptance of its Note) acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent nor any Affiliate of any such Person insofar as any such Person is an Affiliate of the Initial Lender (collectively, the “Initial Lender Group”) has any duties, fiduciary or otherwise, to such Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and that each Person in the Initial Lender Group may seek to enforce what it perceives are the obligations of the Borrower hereunder in whatever manner such Person determines is in its best interest.

(b) If all or any portion of the Notes are held by Lenders other than the Initial Lender, as soon as any Agent or any successor Agent appointed pursuant toSection 7.06 below becomes the subject of a Debtor Relief Proceeding, such Agent shall automatically be removed as Agent hereunder, without need for any further action by the parties hereto or to any of the Loan Documents. The Lenders that are not affiliated with such Agent shall within thirty (30) days thereafter appoint another Person to act as Administrative Agent and/or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and to perform the duties thereof under each Loan Document;providedthat, in each case, while any amount remains outstanding under the Initial Lender’s Note(s), such successor Agent (i) shall not be an Affiliate of the Borrower and (ii) shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and have a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000.

Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent: (i) may treat each Lender recorded in the Register as the owner of the portion of the Loan recorded for such Lender in the Register until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by such Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided inSection 9.07; (ii) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (iii) make no warranty or representation to any Lender hereunder and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) of any other Person made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document on the part of any Lender or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Lender; (v) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution by any other Person, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (vi) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting or relying upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 7.03. Administrative Agent and Its Affiliates. With respect to the Loan, the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include MGIC in its capacity as a Lender hereunder until the Initial Lender Exposure is zero. MGIC and its Affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Lender and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the Borrower and/or any Lender, all as if MGIC were not the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

SECTION 7.04. Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.

Each Lender represents to each other party hereto that it has the knowledge and experience to be and is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of being a Lender hereunder.

SECTION 7.05.[Reserved]

SECTION 7.06. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.

If no successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of such retiring Agent, then such retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, which shall be a commercial bank organized or licensed under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the provisions of thisArticle VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.

Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (y) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under this Agreement other than its obligations arising prior to such effective date only if such assigning Lender is in default with respect to such obligations as of such effective date (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

(b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the Lender assignor thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with copies of such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent or the Collateral

Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement or any other Loan Document as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(c) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, and, if applicable, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, accept such Assignment and Acceptance, record the information contained therein in the Register and forward a copy thereof to the Borrower.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to inSection 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the "Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the other information specified inSection 2.07(b). The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Agents or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(e) Upon written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than, without the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent, which shall be in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, the Borrower or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and/or obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all or a portion of the Loan) without the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender (other than as provided for in the definition of “Eligible Assignee”);provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iv) no Lender shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant toSection 2.14 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive had such Lender not sold such participation. No Lender may grant to any holder of a participation in the rights and obligations of such Lender under the Loan Documents the right to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action under the Loan Documents, except that such Lender may grant to any such holder the right to require such holder’s consent in order for such Lender to consent to (i) reduce the principal of or interest on the outstanding Loan or the fees or other amounts payable to such Lender hereunder, (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on the outstanding Loan or the fees payable to such Lender hereunder, (iii) release the Lien on any substantial part of the Collateral or (iv) permit the Borrower to assign any of its obligations under this Agreement to any other Person.

sentence of thissubsection (e) and subject to any conditions imposed on each Lender hereunder with respect thereto);provided, however, that no holder of a participation shall be entitled to any amounts that would otherwise be payable to it with respect to its participation underSection 2.14 unless such amounts would have been payable to the Lender that granted such participation if such participation had not been granted. Each Lender selling or granting a participation shall indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent for any liabilities for Taxes that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, might incur as a result of such Lender’s failure to withhold and pay any Taxes applicable to payments by such Lender to its participant in respect of such participation.

(f) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section, disclose to the assignee, designee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower;provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree in writing in favor of (and delivered to) the Borrower to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it on terms substantially similar to those set forth inSection 9.08.

(a) For so long as the Initial Lender Exposure is greater than zero, the guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (such guaranty referred to herein as the “Guaranty”) to each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective successors and assigns, the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all payment obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, reimbursement obligations, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise, including, without limitation, the obligation of the Borrower to pay principal, interest, charges, expenses, fees, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, indemnities and other amounts payable by the Borrower under any Loan Document (such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed, the guarantor shall be obligated to pay the same immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, the guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall in all cases be subject to the provisions of the Agreement and each Assignment and Acceptance regarding each Redirected Payment (as defined in any Assignment and Acceptance).

(b) The guarantor hereby agrees that its guarantee obligations shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent with respect to any provisions of the Agreement or this Guaranty, the recovery of any judgment against the Borrower, any action to enforce the same, or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor (other than complete, irrevocable payment of the Guaranteed Obligations). The guarantor hereby waives the benefit of diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any right to require a proceeding first against the Borrower, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes, the Agreement and this Guaranty. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The guarantor further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, on the other hand, (i) subject to this Guaranty, the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations may be accelerated as provided in Article VI of the Agreement for the purposes of this Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (ii) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article VI of the Agreement, such Guaranteed Obligations shall forthwith become due and payable by the guarantor for the purpose of this Guaranty.

(c) No stockholder, manager, member, officer, director, employee or incorporator, past, present or future, of the guarantor, as such, shall have any personal liability under this

C-2

Guaranty by reason of his, her or its status as such stockholder, manager, member, officer, director, employee or incorporator.

2.Limitations on Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty will be limited to the maximum amount that, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of the guarantor, will result in the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.

3.Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Agreement is discharged and all of the Guaranteed Obligations are discharged and paid in full, the guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations and the guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty and the Agreement, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent against the Borrower, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to the guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Loan Document shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to the guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and shall forthwith be paid to such Lender, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of itself, or the Collateral Agent for the benefit of itself, to be credited and applied to the obligations of the Borrower in favor of such Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. The guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this paragraph is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

4.No Set-Off. Each payment to be made by the guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be payable in the currency or currencies in which such Guaranteed Obligations are denominated, and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

5.Obligations Continuing. The obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in cash and satisfied in full.

C-3

6.Obligations Not Reduced. The obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be satisfied, reduced or discharged except solely by the payment of such principal, premium, if any, interest, fees and other monies or amounts as may at any time prior to discharge of the Agreement be or become owing or payable under or by virtue of or otherwise in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or the Agreement.

7.Obligations Reinstated. The obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment that would otherwise have reduced the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty (whether such payment shall have been made by or on behalf of the Borrower or by or on behalf of the guarantor) is rescinded or reclaimed from any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or the guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. If demand for, or acceleration of the time for, payment by the Borrower under the Loan Documents is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower, all such Debt otherwise subject to demand for payment or acceleration shall nonetheless be payable by the guarantor as provided under this Guaranty.

8.Obligations Not Affected. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 2 above, the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty shall not be affected, impaired or diminished in any way by any act, omission, matter or thing whatsoever, occurring before, upon or after any demand for payment under this Guaranty (and whether or not known or consented to by the guarantor or any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) that, but for this provision, might constitute a whole or partial defense to a claim against the guarantor under this Guaranty or might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the guarantor from any of its obligations under this Guaranty or otherwise affect such obligations, whether occasioned by default of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or otherwise, including, without limitation:

(a) any limitation of status or power, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Borrower or any other Person, including any insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition, dissolution, winding up or other proceeding involving or affecting the Borrower or any other Person;

(b) any irregularity, defect, unenforceability or invalidity in respect of any indebtedness or other obligation of the Borrower or any other Person under the Agreement or any other document or instrument;

(c) any failure of the Borrower, whether or not without fault on its part, to perform or comply with any of the provisions of the Agreement, or to give notice thereof to the guarantor;

(d) the taking or enforcing or exercising or the refusal or neglect to take or enforce or exercise any right or remedy from or against the Borrower or any other Person or their respective assets or the release or discharge of any such right or remedy;

(e) the granting of time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Borrower or any other Person;

C-4

(f) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, any of the Notes, or any other amendment, variation, supplement, replacement or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Agreement, including, without limitation, any increase or decrease in any amount due with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g) any change in the ownership, control, name, objects, businesses, assets, capital structure or constitution of the Borrower or the guarantor;

(h) any merger or amalgamation of the Borrower or the guarantor with any Person or Persons;

(i) the occurrence of any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending, varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce or otherwise affect, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty; and

(j) any other circumstance (other than by complete, irrevocable payment) that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of the Borrower under the Agreement or the Notes or of the guarantor in respect of this Guaranty.

9.Waiver. Without in any way limiting the provisions of paragraph 1 above, the guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof, notice of any liability of the guarantor hereunder, notice or proof of reliance by each Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent upon the obligations of the guarantor under this Guaranty, and diligence, presentment, demand for payment on the Borrower, protest, notice of dishonor or non-payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or other notice or formalities to the Borrower or the guarantor of any kind whatsoever.

10.No Obligation to Take Action Against the Borrower. None of any Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any other Person shall have the obligation to enforce or exhaust any rights or remedies or to take any other steps under any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or against the Borrower or any other Person or any property of the Borrower or any other Person before such Person is entitled to demand payment and performance by the guarantor of its liabilities and obligations under this Guaranty or otherwise under the Agreement.

11.Dealing with the Borrower and Others. Each Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of the guarantor hereunder and without the consent of or notice to the guarantor, may:

(a) grant time, renewals, extension, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Borrower or any other Person;

(b) take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Borrower or from perfecting security or collateral of the Borrower;

C-5

(c) release, discharge, compromise, realize, enforce or otherwise deal with or do any act or thing in respect of (with or without consideration) any and all collateral, mortgages or other security given by the Borrower or any third party with respect to the obligations or matters contemplated by the Agreement or the Notes;

(d) accept compromises or arrangements from the Borrower;

(e) apply all monies at any time received from the Borrower or from any security upon such part of the Guaranteed Obligations as any of each Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as relevant, may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as any of each Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as relevant, may see fit; and

(f) otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Borrower and all other Persons and any security as each Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as relevant, may see fit.

12.Default and Enforcement. If the guarantor fails to pay any amount in accordance with paragraph 1 above, each of any Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as relevant, may proceed in its name hereunder in the enforcement of this Guaranty and the guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise, and to recover from the guarantor the Guaranteed Obligations.
