3


 

transfer, and not for any greater amount. This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and each Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender or any holder of any Note exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
     SECTION 2.2 Acceleration of Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that, in the event of the occurrence of any event of the type described in Section 8.01(f) or Section 8.01(g) of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with respect to the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Guarantor, and if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Obligations may not then be due and payable, such Guarantor will pay to the Lenders forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Guarantor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.
     SECTION 2.3 Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Obligor have been paid in full, all obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall have been paid in full, all Commitments shall have terminated and, except as provided in Section 10.01(e) of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated. No Guarantor may rescind or revoke its obligations hereunder. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Obligor will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document and each Lender Hedging Agreement under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender or any holder of any Note with respect thereto. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of: (1) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any Lender Hedging Agreement; (2) the failure of any Lender or any holder of any Note (a) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, any Note, any other Loan Document, any Lender Hedging Agreement or otherwise, or (b) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (3) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (4) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise; (5) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document or any Lender Hedging Agreement; (6) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender or any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor; (7) the insolvency or bankruptcy of, or similar event affecting, the Borrower or any other Obligor; or (8) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Obligor, any surety or any guarantor. Each Guarantor

4


 

waives all rights and defenses which may arise with respect to any of the foregoing, and each Guarantor waives any right to revoke this Guaranty with respect to future indebtedness. Each Guarantor waives all rights or defenses under (1) Section 34.01 et seq. of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, as amended, (2) Section 17.001 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, as amended, (3) Rule 31 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, as amended, or (4) common law, in equity, under contract, by statute, or otherwise.
     SECTION 2.4 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender or any holder of any Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
     SECTION 2.5 Waiver, etc. The Guarantors hereby waive promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any holder of any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor, as the case may be.
     SECTION 2.6 Waiver of Subrogation. Until the Obligations are paid in full, all Commitments have terminated and all Lender Hedging Agreements have terminated, the Guarantors shall not enforce or exercise any claim or other rights which they may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other Obligor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lenders against the Borrower or any other Obligor or any collateral which the Administrative Agent now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Borrower or any other Obligor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lenders, and shall forthwith be paid to the Lenders by the Guarantor receiving such payment to be credited and applied upon the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and that the waiver set forth in this Section is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
     SECTION 2.7 Payments Free and Clear of Taxes, etc. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that:
     (a) All payments by such Guarantor hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities with respect thereto; excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income, and franchise taxes (including the Texas franchise tax) imposed on it (in lieu of net income taxes), by the United States or any state or political subdivision thereof, or by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of

5


 

which the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized, is or should be qualified to do business or maintains its Lending Office, (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above, (iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender, any withholding tax that is imposed on amounts payable to such Foreign Lender at the time such Foreign Lender becomes a party to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (or designates a new lending office) or is attributable to such Foreign Lender’s failure to comply with Section 3.01(f) of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, except to the extent that such Foreign Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment), to receive additional amounts from the Borrower with respect to such withholding tax pursuant to Section 3.01(a) of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and which withholding tax may not be eliminated by complying with Section 3.01(f) of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, and (iv) any backup withholding tax required to be withheld or paid pursuant to Section 3406 of the Code (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If such Guarantor shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (1) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), each of the Administrative Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (2) such Guarantor shall make such deductions, (3) such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (4) within 30 days after the date of such payment, such Guarantor shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
     (b) If a Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Guarantor shall indemnify such Lender for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Lender as a result of any such failure.
     (c) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Guarantors hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Guarantors contained in this Section 2.7 shall survive the payment in full of the principal of and interest on the Loans.
     SECTION 2.8 Contribution Agreement. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, each Guarantor and all other Subsidiary Guarantors which have made payments upon all or any part of the Obligations shall be entitled to contribution from all of the other Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantors, to the end that all such payments upon the Obligations shall be shared among all Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantors who guaranteed such Obligations in proportion to their respective Net Worths (defined below); provided that the contribution obligations of each of the Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantors shall be limited to the maximum amount that it can pay at such time without rendering its contribution obligations voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyances or fraudulent transfers. As used in this subsection, the “Net Worth” of each of the Guarantors and Subsidiary Guarantors means, at any time, the remainder of (i) the fair value of such Guarantor’s assets (other than such right of contribution), minus (ii) the fair value of such Guarantor’s liabilities (other than its liabilities under its guaranty of the Obligations).
     SECTION 2.9 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior to the Obligations any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by the Borrower or other Obligor

6


 

to such Guarantor. Each Guarantor agrees that after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default under the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, it will not permit the Borrower to repay such indebtedness or any part thereof and it will not accept payment from the Borrower of such indebtedness or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Required Lenders. If a Guarantor receives any such payment without the prior required written consent, the amount so paid shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lenders, shall be segregated from the other funds of such Guarantor, and shall forthwith be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, or then or at any time thereafter applied in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any portions of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect.

By execution hereof, each Guarantor covenants and agrees that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 5.04, 5.06, 5.07, 5.08, 5.15, 5.18 and 5.23 of the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement are applicable to such Guarantor and such Guarantor reaffirms that each such representation and warranty is true and correct as to it.
