Guarantee

SECTION 2.01  Guarantee.  The  Guarantor unconditionally guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of its Guaranteed Obligations.  The  Guarantor further agrees that its Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any of its Guaranteed Obligations.  The  Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Borrower of any of its Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.  The Guaranteed Obligations represent the Collateral Agent’s own separate and independent claim (eigen en zelfstandige vordering) to receive payment of such Guaranteed Obligations from the Guarantor.

SECTION 2.02  Guarantee of Payment.  The Guarantor further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of its Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Borrower or any other person.

SECTION 2.03  No Limitations, etc.  (a)  Except for termination of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 4.15 or a contravention of applicable law, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of its Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Guarantor shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by:

(i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise;

(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement;

(iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Secured Obligations;

(iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Secured Obligations;

(v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of the Guarantor as a

3

matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations);

(vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Obligation;

(vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Secured Obligation;

(viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Guarantor may have at any time against any Borrower, the Collateral Agent, or any other corporation or person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

(ix) any law, regulation, decree or order of any jurisdiction, or any other event, affecting any term of any of its Guaranteed Obligations or the Collateral Agent’s rights with respect thereto, including, without limitation:

(A) the application of any such law, regulation, decree or order, including any prior approval, which would prevent the exchange of a foreign currency for Dollars or any other currency in which any of the Guaranteed Obligations is to be paid or the remittance of funds outside of such jurisdiction or the unavailability of Dollars or such other currency in any legal exchange market in such jurisdiction in accordance with normal commercial practice; or

(B) a declaration of banking moratorium or any suspension of payments by banks in such jurisdiction or the imposition by such jurisdiction or any governmental authority thereof of any moratorium on, the required rescheduling or restructuring of, or required approval of payments on, any indebtedness in such jurisdiction; or

(C) any expropriation, confiscation, nationalization or requisition by such country or any governmental authority that directly or indirectly deprives a Borrower of any assets or their use, or of the ability to operate its business or a material part thereof; or

(D) any war (whether or not declared), insurrection, revolution, hostile act, civil strife or similar events occurring in such jurisdiction which has the same effect as the events described in clause (A), (B) or (C) above (in each of the cases contemplated in clauses (A) through (D) above, to the extent occurring or existing on or at any time after the date of this Agreement); and

(x) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Collateral Agent that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Borrower or the Guarantor or any other guarantor or surety.

4

The Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations that, in accordance with the express terms of any agreement pursuant to which such Guaranteed Obligations were created, were denominated in Dollars or any currency other than the currency of the jurisdiction where a Borrower is principally located, the Guarantor guarantees that it shall pay the Collateral Agent strictly in accordance with the express terms of such agreement, including in the amounts and in the currency expressly agreed to thereunder, irrespective of and without giving effect to any laws of the jurisdiction where any Borrower is principally located in effect from time to time, or any order, decree or regulation in the jurisdiction where any Borrower is principally located.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Borrower or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Borrower, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of the Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of the Guarantor against any Borrower, as the case may be, or any security.

SECTION 2.04  Reinstatement.  The Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of a Borrower, any other Loan Party, or otherwise.

SECTION 2.05  Agreement to Pay; Subrogation.  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against the Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Borrower to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, the Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation.  Upon payment by the Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of the Guarantor

5

against any Borrower, any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III.

SECTION 2.06  Information.  The Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of the respective Borrowers and other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

SECTION 2.07  Demand.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, demand may only be made under the Guarantee provided for in this Article II by the Collateral Agent.

ARTICLE III.

Subordination

SECTION 3.01  Subordination.  (a)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation of the Guarantor under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations.  No failure on the part of any Borrower or the Guarantor to make the payments required under applicable law or otherwise shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and the Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder.

(c)           Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 4.06 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 4.06 shall be payable on written demand therefor (accompanied by a reasonably detailed computation of the amounts so to be paid).

9

other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Guarantor, or its properties, in the courts of any jurisdiction.
