The Guarantor unconditionally guarantees to the Holders the full, prompt, and punctual performance and payment of the Indebtedness when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes. This Guaranty is irrevocable, unconditional and absolute, and if for any reason all or any portion of the Indebtedness shall not be paid when due, the Guarantor will immediately pay the Indebtedness to the Holders or such other persons entitled to payment of the Indebtedness, in U.S. dollars, without set-off, counterclaim, taxes or other defense.

 

3.	Duration of Guaranty.

 

This Guaranty will take effect when received by the Holders, without the necessity of any acceptance by the Holders, and will continue in full force until such time as all obligations of the Borrower to the Holders under the Note Purchase Agreement and the Notes are finally, indefeasibly and fully paid and satisfied.

4.	Subordination of Borrower’s Debts to Guarantor.

 

The Guarantor agrees that the Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Holders shall be prior to any claim that the Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, whether or not the Borrower becomes insolvent. The Guarantor hereby expressly subordinates any claim the Guarantor may have against the Borrower, upon any account whatsoever, including any liens and rights of any kind that the Guarantor now has, may hereafter acquire or be deemed to have acquired, to any claim that the Holders may now or hereafter have against the Borrower.

The Guarantor will cause the Company in respect of Collateral not represented by certificates to mark their books and records with the numbers and face amounts of all such Collateral not represented by certificates and all rollovers and replacements therefor to reflect the security granted by the Guarantor under this Guaranty. The Guarantor will take any actions necessary to cause the Company to take such action as is required to allow the Holder to maintain a first priority lien over the Collateral.
