The Subsidiary Guarantor is an

Accordingly, the Subsidiary
Guarantor and the Borrower hereby agree as follows with the Administrative
Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders:

obligations of a Guarantor thereunder as if it had executed the Credit
Agreement. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby ratifies, as of the date
hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions
contained in the applicable Credit Documents, including without limitation (a)
all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Credit
Agreement and (b) all of the affirmative and negative covenants set forth in
Articles V and VI of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing terms of this Paragraph 1, the Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby guarantees, jointly and severally together with the other Guarantors, the
prompt payment of the Credit Party Obligations in accordance with Article X of
the Credit Agreement.
2. The
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its
execution of this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed to be a
party to the Security Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations
of an “Obligor”
(as such term is defined in the Security Agreement) thereunder as if it had
executed the Security Agreement. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms,
provisions and conditions contained in the Security Agreement.
3. The
Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its
execution of this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guarantor will be deemed to be a
party to the Pledge Agreement, and shall have all the rights and obligations of

Agreement. The Subsidiary Guarantor hereby ratifies, as of the date
hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all the terms, provisions and conditions
contained in the Pledge Agreement.
4. The
Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and confirms that it has received a copy of
the Credit Agreement and the schedules and exhibits thereto and each Security
Document and the schedules and exhibits thereto. The information on
the schedules to the Credit Agreement and the Security Documents are hereby
supplemented (to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement or Security
Documents) to reflect the information shown on the attached Schedule
A.
5. The
Borrower confirms that the Credit Agreement is, and upon the Subsidiary

written request of the Administrative Agent, it will execute and deliver such
further documents and do such further acts as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Credit
Agreement in order to effect the purposes of this Agreement.
7. This
Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute one
contract.
8. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws that would call for the application of the laws of any other
jurisdiction. The terms of Sections 9.13, 9.14, and 9.16 of the
Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, and the
parties hereto agree to such terms.
9. This
Agreement may, upon execution, be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail,
which shall be deemed for all purposes to be an original signature.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the
