(q)           Tax Deposits.  Upon written direction from the Lender and after approval of and pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court after notice and hearing, after the occurrence of an Default or an Event of Default which remains uncured, the Borrower shall immediately commence to deposit with the Lender commencing with the first interest payment due under the DIP Credit Commitment and on the first day of each month thereafter until the earlier of (i) the date that the Indebtedness is fully paid and (ii) the Default or Event of Default has been cured, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the total annual taxes and assessments (general and special) respecting each of any owned or leased real property and the costs of insurance premiums, based upon the Lender’s reasonable estimate as to the amount of the taxes, assessments and premiums to be levied, assessed and incurred (except to the extent, and only to the extent, that, in respect of the Golden Gate Property and/or the Santa Anita Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor is making such payments to BMO and/or Wells Fargo, as the case may be, pursuant to the BMO Credit Agreement and/or the Santa Anita Senior Credit Facility).  The Borrower’s initial deposit shall be increased by an amount equal to the Lender’s reasonable estimate of the amount of such taxes and insurance premiums to become owing on the due dates for the payment of such taxes and insurance premiums less the monthly payments to be deposited hereunder prior to such due dates.  If any such taxes or insurance premiums relating to each of any owned or leased real property are also related to other premises, the amount of any deposit hereunder shall be based upon the Borrower’s and/or any Guarantor’s share of the taxes, assessments or insurance premiums, the Borrower shall apportion the total amount of the taxes, assessments or premiums levied or assessed as between such other premises and each of any owned or leased real property for the purposes of computing the amount of any deposit hereunder.  Such deposits shall be held without any allowance of interest.  Such deposits shall be used for the payment of such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums on each of any owned or leased real property on the earliest possible date when such payments become due.  If the funds so deposited are insufficient to pay any such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for any year when the same shall become due and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 Banking Days after receipt of demand therefor from the Lender, deposit such additional funds as may be necessary to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums in full.  If the funds so deposited exceed the amount required to pay such taxes, assessments and insurance premiums for the year, the excess shall be applied on a subsequent deposit or deposits.  Said deposits shall be kept in a separate, non-interest bearing account created by and in the name of the Lender.  Upon the occurrence of an Default or an Event of Default, the Lender may, at its option, without being required to do so, apply any monies at the time on deposit pursuant to this Section 7.1(q) on any of the Indebtedness, in such order and manner as the Lender may elect.  When the Indebtedness has been fully paid, any remaining deposits shall be paid to the Borrower.  A security interest within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which the Borrower is organized as a legal entity is hereby granted to the Lender in and to any monies at any time on deposit pursuant to this Section 7.1(q), as additional security for the Indebtedness.  Such funds shall be applied by the Lender for the purposes made hereunder and shall not be subject to the direction

 

54



 

or control of the Borrower.  The Lender shall not be liable for any failure to apply the funds so deposited hereunder to the payment of any particular taxes, assessments and insurance premiums unless the Borrower, while not in default hereunder, shall have requested the Lender in writing to make application of such funds to the payment of the particular taxes, assessments or premiums for payment of which they were deposited, accompanied by the bills for such taxes, assessments or premiums.  The Lender shall not be liable for any act or omission taken in good faith or pursuant to the instruction of any party, but shall be liable only for gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(t)            Defense of Collateral.  The Borrower and the Guarantors shall pay when due all Post-Petition obligations, lawful claims or demands with respect to each of any owned or leased real property which, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, any Lien on such property senior or pari passu to the DIP Liens or the Liens under each Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable, including but not limited to all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies; provided that the Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall have the right to contest any such claim so long as the Borrower or such Guarantor posts a bond acceptable to the Lender to protect the Lender’s interest in such property, and, in general, do or cause to be done everything necessary to fully preserve the DIP Liens and the Liens under each Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable, and the rights of the Lender under this Agreement and the other DIP Credit Documents in respect of such property.  The Borrower and the Guarantors shall at all times defend the Lender’s interest in and to any owned or leased real property, and the priority of the DIP Lien and the Liens under each Pledge and Security Agreement, as applicable;

 

(u)           Maintenance of Real Property.  To the extent failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall keep any owned or leased real property, including all buildings and improvements now or hereafter situated thereon, and all equipment owned by them and material to the operation of any owned or leased real property, in good condition subject to reasonable wear and tear, not commit or permit any waste thereof, make all necessary or advisable repairs, replacements and improvements and subject to force majeure, and complete and restore promptly and in good workmanlike manner any building, improvements or other items of any of the real property that may be damaged, or destroyed, and subject to the right to contest legitimate disputes, pay when due all costs incurred therefor;

Borrower or such Guarantor (including notices of default) under any of the Organizational Documents, Material Agreements and notices of violations of Applicable Law received by the Borrower or any of the Guarantors relating to any owned or leased real property that might have a Material Adverse Effect, including, without limitation, all racing and/or gaming licenses;

 

(x)            Notification of Attachment or Other Action.  As soon as it becomes aware of same, the Borrower and/or each of the Guarantors shall promptly notify the Lender in writing of any unstayed attachment or other legal process levied or threatened against any of the Collateral, or the institution of any action, suit or proceeding by or against the Borrower, any of the Guarantors or any of the Collateral, or any information received by the Borrower and/or any of the Guarantors relative to any of the Guarantors and/or the Borrower or any owned or leased real property which might have a Material Adverse Effect or constitute a Material Adverse Change;

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties of the Borrower made herein or in any other any DIP Credit Document or in any certificate or other document signed by any of its directors or officers and delivered by or on behalf of any of them pursuant hereto or thereto are material, shall be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lender notwithstanding any investigation heretofore or hereafter made by the Lender or the Lender’s Counsel or any employee or other representative of any of them and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any other DIP Credit Document until there are no amounts outstanding under

 

69



 

the DIP Credit Commitment and the Lender shall have no further obligation to make Advances hereunder.  For clarity, this Section 10.1 shall in no way affect the survival of those provisions of this Agreement or any other DIP Credit Document which by their terms are stated to survive termination of this Agreement.

 

10.2                                                                        Confidentiality

 

The Lender will maintain on a confidential basis (except as otherwise permitted hereunder or as required by Applicable Law) all information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries provided to it hereunder by and on behalf of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or obtained in respect of any diligence conducted in respect hereof; provided, however, that this Section 10.2 shall not apply to any information which (i) was lawfully in the public domain at the time of communication to the Lender, (ii) lawfully enters the public domain through no fault of the Lender subsequent to the time of communication to the Lender, (iii) was lawfully in the possession of the Lender free of any obligation of confidence at the time of communication to the Lender, or (iv) was lawfully communicated to the Lender free of any obligation of confidence subsequent to the time of initial communication to the Lender.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors shall make all payments hereunder regardless of, but without prejudice to or otherwise releasing the Lender of or from, any liability, defense or counterclaim, including, without limitation, any defense or counterclaim based on any law, rule or policy which is now or hereafter promulgated by any Governmental Body which may adversely affect the Borrower’s and each of the Guarantor’s obligation to make, or the Lender’s right to receive, such payments.  The Borrower and each of the Guarantors grants to the Lender the right to set off all accounts, credits or balances owed by the Lender to the Borrower and/or any of the Guarantors against the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts due hereunder or under any other DIP Credit Document when any such amount shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, upon acceleration of maturity thereof or otherwise.

 

10.4                                                                        Employment of Experts

10.5                                                                        Reliance by the Lender

 

The Lender shall be entitled to rely upon any schedule, certificate, statement, report, notice or other document or written communication (including any facsimile, telex or other means of electronic communication) of the Borrower and the Guarantors believed by it to be genuine and correct.

10.7                                                                        Further Assurances

 

Whether before or after the happening of an Event of Default, the Borrower and each Guarantor shall at its own expense do, make, execute or deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered by its Subsidiaries or other Persons, all such further acts, documents and things in connection with the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents as the Lender may reasonably require from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to the DIP Credit Documents all within a reasonable period of time following the request of the Lender.

 

10.8                                                                        Assignment

 

(a)                                  The DIP Credit Documents shall inure to the benefit of the Lender, its successors and assigns, and shall be binding upon the Borrower and the Guarantors, and their respective successors and assigns.  Neither the Borrower nor any of the Guarantors shall assign, sell, convey or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment or the DIP Credit Documents.  The Lender, may assign, sell, convey, grant participations in, pledge, or otherwise transfer all or any part of its rights or obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents to any Person or Persons (each a “Permitted Lender Assignee”) at any time, without the Borrower’s or any Guarantor’s consent.  Any Permitted Lender Assignee shall provide written notice to the Borrower and the Guarantors of such assignment and its assumption of the obligations of the Lender hereunder and thereafter shall be entitled to the performance of all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantors’ agreements and obligations under the DIP Credit Commitment and the DIP Credit Documents and shall be entitled to enforce all the rights and remedies of the Lender under the DIP Credit Documents, for the benefit of such Permitted Lender Assignee, as fully as if such Permitted Lender Assignee was herein by name specifically given such rights and remedies.  Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors expressly agrees that it will assert no claims or defenses that it may have against the Lender against any Permitted Lender Assignee, except those specifically available under this Agreement.  In the event that the Borrower or any Guarantor shall become directly liable for any additional charges or levies by any governmental or regulatory authority in consequence of the operation of this Section 10.8, the Borrower shall give the Lender notice thereof and thereafter the Lender shall indemnify the Borrower or the Guarantor, as applicable, in full for any such charges or levies.  The Borrower and the Guarantors shall be given written notice of any such assignment.  The Borrower and the Guarantors shall cooperate with and perform the reasonable requirements of the Permitted Lender Assignee, but the costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements relating directly to or arising directly out of any such assignment shall not be the expense of the Borrower or the Guarantors.

 

(b)                                 The Lender shall, on behalf of the Borrower, maintain or cause to be maintained a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender and Permitted Lender Assignee as the registered owner of each Advance (and the principal amount thereof and

 

72



 

stated interest thereon) held by such Lender or Permitted Lender Assignee (each, a “Registered Advance”).  Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes the Registered Advance a registered obligation for United States withholding tax purposes.  A Registered Advance may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register and any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Advance may be effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register.  Prior to the registration of the assignment or sale of any Registered Advance, Borrower shall treat the person in whose name such Registered Advance is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes.  The Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, Lender and Permitted Lender Assignees and their agents shall treat each person whose name is recorded as a holder of the interest described therein for purposes of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower, Lender and any Permitted Lender Assignee at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

10.9                                                                        Disclosure of Information to Potential Permitted Lender Assignees

 

The Borrower and the Guarantors agree that the Lender shall have the right (but shall be under no obligation) to make available to any potential Permitted Lender Assignee any and all information which the Lender may have pursuant to the DIP Credit Documents, provided such disclosure is not in violation of any applicable securities laws, rules or regulations and such potential Permitted Lender Assignee enters into a typical and customary confidentiality agreement in favor of the Borrower and the Guarantors.

 

10.10                                                                 Right to Cure

 

The Lender may from time to time, in its sole and absolute discretion (but shall have no obligation to do so), for the Borrower’s account and at the Borrower’s expense, pay any amount or do any act required of the Borrower or a Guarantor hereunder or required under the DIP Credit Documents or requested by the Lender to preserve, protect, maintain or enforce any DIP Credit Commitment, any owned or leased real property or any other Collateral, and which the Borrower or a Guarantor fails to pay or do or cause to be paid or done, including, without limitation, payment of insurance premiums, taxes or assessments, warehouse charge, finishing or processing charge, landlord’s claim, and any other lien upon or with respect to any owned or leased real property or any other Collateral.  Any payment made or other action taken by the Lender pursuant to this Section shall be without prejudice to any right to assert an Event of Default hereunder and to pursue the Lender’s other rights and remedies with respect thereto.

 

10.11                                                                 Forbearance by the Lender Not a Waiver

 

Any forbearance by the Lender in exercising any right or remedy under any of the DIP Credit Documents, or otherwise afforded by Applicable Law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any right or remedy.  The Lender’s acceptance of payment of any sum secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents after the due date of such payment shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to either require prompt payment when due of all other sums so secured or to declare a default for failure to make prompt payment.  The procurement of insurance or the payment of taxes or other Liens or charges by the Lender shall not be a waiver of the Lender’s right to accelerate the maturity of the DIP Credit Commitment, nor shall the

 

73



 

Lender’s receipt of any awards, proceeds or damages operate to cure or waive the Borrower’s or any of the Guarantors’ default in payment or sums secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents.  With respect to all DIP Credit Documents, only waivers made in writing by the Lender shall be effective against the Lender.

 

10.12                                                                 Waiver of Statute of Limitations and Other Defenses

 

The Borrower and Guarantors hereby waive the right to assert any statute of limitations or any other defense as a bar to the enforcement of the lien created by any of the DIP Credit Documents or to any action brought to enforce any obligation secured by any of the DIP Credit Documents.

 

10.13                                                                 Relationship

 

The relationship between the Lender and the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be that of creditor-debtor only.  No term in this Agreement or in the other DIP Credit Documents, nor any shareholder or other Affiliate relationship between the parties, and no course of dealing between the parties shall be deemed to create any relationship of agency, partnership or joint venture or any fiduciary duty by the Lender to any other party.

 

10.14                                                                 Time of Essence

 

Time is of the essence of this Agreement and each of the other DIP Credit Document and the performance of each of the covenants and agreement contained herein and therein.

 

10.15                                                                 Jury Trial Waiver

 

THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, OR RELATED TO, THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.  THIS WAIVER IS KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE BY THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS AND THE LENDER, THE BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NEITHER THE LENDER NOR ANY PERSON ACTING ON BEHALF OF THE LENDER HAS MADE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OF FACT TO INCLUDE THIS WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY OR HAS TAKEN ANY ACTIONS WHICH IN ANY WAY MODIFY OR NULLIFY ITS EFFECT.  THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH OF THEM HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THIS WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH OF THEM WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THIS WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS.  THE BORROWER, EACH GUARANTOR AND THE LENDER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPRESENTED (OR HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE REPRESENTED) IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL.

 

74



 

10.16                                                                 Final Agreement/Modification

 

This Agreement, together with the other DIP Credit Documents is intended as the final expression of the agreement among the Borrower, the Guarantors and the Lender.  All prior discussions, negotiations and agreements are of no further force and effect.  This Agreement can be modified only in writing executed by all parties and the written agreement may not be contradicted by any evidence of any alleged oral agreement.

 

10.17                                                                 Continuing Agreement

 

This Agreement shall in all respects be a continuing agreement and shall remain in full force and effect (notwithstanding, without limitation, the death, incompetence or dissolution of any of the Borrower or any of the Guarantors).

 

10.18                                                                 No Third Party Beneficiaries

 

This Agreement, the DIP Liens, the Liens granted under the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other DIP Credit Documents are made for the sole benefit of the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantors, and no other party shall have any legal interest of any kind under or by reason of any of the foregoing.  Whether or not the Lender elects to employ any or all the rights, powers or remedies available to it under any of the foregoing, the Lender shall have no obligation or liability of any kind to any third party by reason of any of the foregoing or any of the Lender’s actions or omissions pursuant thereto or otherwise in connection with this transaction.

 

10.19                                                                 No Brokers

 

Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender on the other hand, warrants and represents to the other that it has not employed any broker or agent in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby.  Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Lender on the other hand, shall indemnify and hold the other harmless from any loss or cost suffered or incurred by it as a result of any commission owed to any broker or agent claiming a commission due as a result of representing such party (or any of its Affiliates) with respect hereto.

 

10.20                                                                 Execution in Counterparts

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

 

10.21                                                                 Successors and Assigns Bound; Joint and Several Liability; Agents; and Captions

 

The covenants and agreements contained in the DIP Credit Documents shall bind, and the rights thereunder shall inure to, the respective permitted successors and assigns of the Lender, the Borrower and the Guarantors, subject to the provisions of this Agreement.  Subject to Section 10.22, all covenants and agreements of the Borrower and the Guarantors shall be joint and several.  In exercising any rights under the DIP Credit Documents or taking any actions

 

75



 

provided for therein, the Lender may act through its employees, agents or independent contractors as authorized by the Lender.

ARTICLE 11

 

CONTINUING GUARANTY

 

11.1                                                                        Guaranty

 

Each Initial Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees (the “Initial Guaranty”), as a guaranty of payment and performance and not merely as a guaranty of collection, prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, any and all of the Obligations, whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of the Borrower to the Lender, arising hereunder and under the other DIP Credit Documents (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and other modifications thereof and all costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the Lender in

 

76



 

connection with the collection or enforcement thereof).  The Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, and shall be binding upon each Initial Guarantor, and conclusive for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Obligations in the absence of manifest error.  This Initial Guaranty shall not be affected by the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection, non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or circumstance relating to the Obligations which might otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of any Initial Guarantor under this Initial Guaranty, and to the fullest extent permitted by law each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.  The obligations of each Initial Guarantor and any Additional Guarantor are joint and several.

 

11.2                                                                        Rights of the Lender

 

Each Initial Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lender may, at any time and from time to time, without notice or demand (other than as required by Section 9.2 hereof, the Order or applicable bankruptcy law), and without affecting the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof:  (a) amend, extend, renew, compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or the terms of the Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold, exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose of any security for the payment of this Initial Guaranty or any Obligations; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one or more of any endorsers or other guarantors (including any other Guarantor) of any of the Obligations.  Each Initial Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Initial Guaranty is secured in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Documents and that the Lender may exercise its remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Initial Guarantor consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Initial Guarantor under this Initial Guaranty or which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of such Initial Guarantor.

 

11.3                                                                        Certain Waivers

 

Each Initial Guarantor waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor), or the cessation from any cause whatsoever (including any act or omission of the Lender) of the liability of the Borrower; (b) any defense based on any claim that such Initial Guarantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) any right to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of the Lender; (d) any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lender; and (e) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.  Each Initial Guarantor expressly waives all setoffs and counterclaims and all presentments, demands for payment or performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the Obligations, and all notices of acceptance of this Initial Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional Obligations.

 

77



 

11.4                                                                        Obligations Independent

 

The obligations of each Initial Guarantor hereunder are those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a separate action may be brought against any guarantor (including any other Guarantor) to enforce this Initial Guaranty whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

 

11.5                                                                        Subrogation

 

No Initial Guarantor shall exercise any right of subrogation, contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any payments it makes under this Initial Guaranty until all of the Obligations and any amounts payable under this Initial Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and the DIP Credit Commitment is terminated.  If any amounts are paid to any Initial Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to reduce the amount of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

 

11.6                                                                        Termination; Reinstatement

 

This Initial Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable guaranty of all Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations and any other amounts payable under this Initial Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the DIP Credit Commitment with respect to the Obligations is terminated.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Initial Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Initial Guarantor is made, or the Lender exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Obligations and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or not the Lender is in possession of or has released this Initial Guaranty and regardless of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction.  Each Initial Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Lender on demand for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The obligations of the Initial Guarantors under this paragraph shall survive termination of this Initial Guaranty.

 

11.7                                                                        Subordination

 

Each Initial Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor owing to any Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of the Borrower to any Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender or resulting from any Initial Guarantor’s performance under this Initial Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations.  If the Lender so requests, any such

 

78



 

obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor to any Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by any Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of any Initial Guarantor under this Initial Guaranty.

 

11.8                                                                        Stay of Acceleration

 

If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Obligations is stayed, in connection with any case commenced by or against any Initial Guarantor or the Borrower under any debtor relief laws, including the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by each other Initial Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lender.

 

11.9                                                                        Contribution by the Guarantors

 

All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under a Guaranty.  Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under a Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date.  “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under a Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed.  “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under a Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder or thereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section 11.9, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor.  “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (1) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of a Guaranty (including in respect of this Section 11.9), minus (2) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section 11.9.  The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor.  The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section 11.9 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder.  Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section 11.9 and a right to receive any Fair Share Contribution Amount shall be deemed an asset of the Guarantor entitled to such amount.  By execution and delivery of its Guaranty Agreement each Additional Guarantor agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.9 as if it were a party to this Agreement.
