-4-

enforce any right of subrogation in respect of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender against any Guarantor or guarantee or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek any contribution or reimbursement from any other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank and the other Lenders by the Loan Parties on account of the Obligations are paid in full, either no Letter of Credit shall be outstanding or each outstanding Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized so that it is fully secured to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the Commitments are terminated.

For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in the foregoing agreement by the Guarantors shall operate as a waiver of any subrogation rights.

2.4      Amendments, etc., with Respect to the Obligations. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent, such Hedge Bank, such Cash Management Bank or such Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, any other documents executed and delivered in connection therewith, any Swap Agreement and any agreement giving rise to Cash Management Obligations may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, or, solely in the case of any Swap Agreement or any agreement giving rise to Cash Management Obligations, the applicable Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank) may deem reasonably advisable from time to time, and any guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantees contained in this Section 2, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Obligations therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrowers or any other Person against the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of such Guarantor under the guarantees contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any Guarantor or any other Person or against any guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.

2.6      Reinstatement. The guarantees contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations (or with respect to the guarantee of the Parent Guarantor contained in this Section 2, the European Obligations) is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Administrative Agent, any Hedge Bank, any Cash Management Bank or any other Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.

-6-

2.7      Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid in Dollars to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim at the Administrative Agent’s Office.

2.8      Keepwell. Each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time of the guarantee hereunder by any Specified Guarantor, becomes effective with respect to any Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Guarantor with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such Specified Guarantor from time to time to honor all of its obligations under its guarantee and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Swap Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s obligations and undertakings under this Section 2.8 voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations and undertakings of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this Section to constitute, and this Section shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Guarantor for all purposes of the Commodity Exchange Act.
