Company, Inc. ( "American Express ") to issue American Express® Corporate Cards (referred to herein, together
with any renewal or replacement thereof, as "Corporate Cards ") to those persons under the Business Control
Account(s) (BCA) specifically listed on Schedule 1 to the Guaranty by Guarantor, as each may be amended from
time to time ( "Designated Corporate Cardmembers"), hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to
American Express, its successors and assigns, the full and complete payment when due, or upon demand by
American Express, of all amounts including, without limitation, purchases, cash advances, fees, American
Express® Travelers Cheque encashments and delinquency assessments, charged to Corporate Cards (collectively,
"Charges ") issued to Designated Corporate Cardmembers under the listed BCA(s). Charges shall also include any
fraudulent charges for which Guarantor has assumed liability pursuant to the agreement between American
Express and Guarantor that governs Guarantor's participation in the Corporate Card Program (the "Corporate
Card Account Agreement "). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Guarantor understands that, unless
the applicable Corporate Card is canceled by the Guarantor, the Designated Corporate Cardmember or by
American Express, renewal Corporate Card(s) will automatically be issued to each Designated Corporate
Cardmember on a periodic basis. The Guaranty is personal to the Designated Corporate Cardmember and shall
remain in full force and effect until terminated by the Guarantor in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty and
the satisfaction of all outstanding Charges. Solely for purposes of clarification and not to limit the coverage
hereunder, the Guaranty shall relate to a Designated Corporate Cardmember, for example, so long as they are
employed by Guarantor, regardless of the commercial card and related account(s) designated to such Designated
Corporate Cardmember.
Guarantor agrees that its liability hereunder shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected in any
way by any release or partial release of the liability of any Designated Corporate Cardmember for the payment of
any part or all of the Charges; any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of American Express to take or
prosecute any action for the collection of the Charges; or any modification or amendment of any other agreement
in connection with any Corporate Cards. Guarantor expressly waives acceptance by American Express of this
instrument, presentment of the Charges for payment, notice of any kind in bringing and prosecuting any action on
the Charges, and diligence in connection with the collection of the Charges.
Guarantor unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the payment of the full amount of the Charges and all
attorneys' fees, court costs and other costs and expenses incurred by American Express in connection with the
collection of the Charges, regardless of any act or omission of American Express or any party with reference to any
part of the Charges; and Guarantor agrees that American Express shall in no way be obligated to bring or
prosecute any action against any Designated Corporate Cardmember for any payment of the Charges or make any
demand on any Designated Corporate Cardmember or to exhaust its remedies against any Designated Corporate
Cardmember or to give any notice of any kind to any party in connection therewith. American Express shall not be
liable or accountable in any respect, nor shall Guarantor have a right of recourse against American Express by
reason of any act or omission on the part of American Express in connection with any of the matters mentioned
herein.
This Guaranty may be terminated by the Guarantor, in its entirety or with respect to any individual Designated
Corporate Cardmember, by giving 30 days' prior written notice by registered mail, return receipt requested, air
courier, or overnight delivery to Guaranty Unit, American Express Corporate Services, American Express Service
Center (Phoenix), 20022 North 31st Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 85027. Guarantor shall remain primarily liable
hereunder for payment in full for all Charges incurred on or before the thirtieth day after American Express

law or otherwise, that may be instituted on this Guaranty. Guarantor hereby waives any defenses arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of any Designated Corporate Cardmembers or by reason of cessation from any
cause whatsoever of the obligations of any Designated Corporate Cardmembers. The Guarantor agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless American Express, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates and
subsidiaries from and against any loss, cost, or expense arising out of the assertion by the Guarantor of any defense
to its obligation(s) with respect to this Guaranty.

between American Express and any Designated Corporate Cardmember, the provisions of this Guaranty shall
govern.
