Each Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guaranties, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of any Loan Document whether at stated maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory prepayment or otherwise in accordance herewith or with any other Loan Documents. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended, increased or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and that it will remain bound upon its guaranty notwithstanding any extension, increase or renewal, in whole or in part, of any Guaranteed Obligation. Each of the Guarantors waives presentment to, demand of payment from and protest to any Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of its guaranty and notice of protest for nonpayment.

Section 2.2 Guaranty of Payment.

Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guaranty hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the Borrower or any other Person.

Section 2.3 Continuing Guarantee.

This guaranty is a continuing guarantee and will extend to the ultimate balance of sums payable by any Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, regardless of any intermediate payment or discharge in whole or in part.

Section 2.4 Waiver of Defenses and No Limitations.

(a) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.12 and any express limitations provided in this Agreement, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by any act, omission, matter or thing which but for the provisions of this Agreement would reduce, release or prejudice any of its obligations under this Agreement (without limitation and whether or not known to it or the Administrative Agent or any other

 

3


Secured Party) and/or subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment, modification, novation, supplement, extension, restatement (however fundamental and whether or not more onerous) or replacement of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Loan Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement and including, without limitation, any change in the purpose of, any extension of or increase in any facility or the addition of any new facility under any Loan Document or other document or security; (iii) the release of any security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any time, waiver or consent granted to, or composition with, any Loan Party or other person; (vi) the release of any Loan Party or any other person under the terms of any composition or arrangement with any creditor of any member of the Group; (vii) the taking, variation, compromise, exchange, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect, take up or enforce, any rights against, or security over assets of, any Loan Party or other person or any non-presentation or non-observance of any formality or other requirement in respect of any instrument or any failure to realize the full value of any security; (viii) any incapacity or lack of power, authority or legal personality of or dissolution or change in the members or status of a Loan Party or any other person; (ix) any unenforceability, illegality or invalidity of any obligation of any person under any Loan Document or any other document or security; (x) subject to mandatory provisions of applicable law, any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or similar proceedings or (xi) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations). Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all subject to and in accordance with the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents and all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing but subject to the final paragraph of this Article II, each Guarantor expressly confirms that it intends that the guaranty granted by it under this Agreement shall extend from time to time to any (however fundamental) variation, increase, extension or addition of or to any of the Loan Documents and/or any facility or amount made available under any of the Loan Documents for the purposes of or in connection with any of the following: business acquisitions of any nature;

 

4


increasing working capital; enabling investor distributions to be made; carrying out restructurings; refinancing existing facilities; refinancing any other indebtedness; making facilities available to new borrowers; any other variation or extension of the purposes for which any such facility or amount might be made available from time to time; and any fees, costs and/or expenses associated with any of the foregoing.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Guaranty Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Guaranty Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may, in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Guaranty Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any Guaranty Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Guaranty Party, as the case may be, or any security.

Section 2.5 Reinstatement.

Each of the Guarantors agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment or discharge, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation, is rescinded, invalidated, set aside, avoided or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise.

Section 2.6 Agreement To Pay; Subrogation.

In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Guaranty Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Secured Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Guaranty Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III herein.

 

5


Section 2.7 Immediate Recourse.

(a) Each Guaranty Party waives any right it may have of first requiring the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) to proceed against or enforce any other rights or security or claim payment from any Person before claiming from that Guaranty Party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall not be required to marshal any present or future collateral security (including, but not limited to, the Collateral) for, or other assurances of payment of, the Guaranteed Obligations or any of them or to resort to such collateral security or other assurances of payment in any particular order, and all of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and in respect of such collateral security and other assurances of payment shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights, however existing or arising. To the extent that any Guaranty Party lawfully may, such Guaranty Party hereby agrees that it will not invoke any law relating to the marshalling of collateral which might cause delay in or impede the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement or under any other instrument guaranteeing the Guaranteed Obligations or creating or evidencing any of the Total Secured Obligations or under which any of the Guaranteed Obligations is outstanding or by which any of the Total Secured Obligations is secured or payment thereof is otherwise assured, and, to the extent that it lawfully may, each Guaranty Party hereby irrevocably waives the benefits of all such laws.

Section 2.8 Additional Security.

The guarantees granted under this Agreement are in addition to and is not in any way prejudiced by any other guaranty or security now or subsequently held by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.

Section 2.9 Appropriations.

Until all amounts which may be or become payable by the Loan Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full, each of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party may: (i) refrain from applying or enforcing any other moneys, security or rights held or received by it (or any trustee or agent on its behalf) in respect of those amounts, or apply and enforce the same in such manner and order as it sees fit (whether against those amounts or otherwise) and no Guarantor shall be entitled to the benefit of the same; and (ii) hold in an interest-bearing suspense account any moneys received from any Guarantor or on account of any Guarantor’s liability under this Agreement.

Section 2.10 Information.

Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition and assets of each Guaranty Party and other member of the Group, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

(a) Guaranty Limitation – Australia.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, with respect to each Australian Guarantor only, the guaranty granted by that Australian Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not apply or extend to any liability to the extent it would result in the guaranty granted by that Australian Guarantor constituting financial assistance which is prohibited by Part 2J.3 of the Australian Corporations Act.

(b) Guaranty Limitation – England.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, with respect to each English Guarantor only, the guaranty granted by that English Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not apply or extend to any liability to the extent it would result in the guaranty granted by that English Guarantor constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 678 or 679 of the Companies Act 2006.

(c) Guaranty Limitation – Luxembourg.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, with respect to each Luxembourg Guarantor only, the maximum liability of a Luxembourg Guarantor for the Obligations of any Loan Party which is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor shall be limited at any time to a recovery not exceeding 95 per cent. of such Luxembourg Guarantor’s net assets calculated as (x) the value of the assets of such Luxembourg Guarantor decreased by (y) any liabilities owed by that Luxembourg Guarantor to any third party creditor (excluding, for the avoidance of any doubts, any liabilities owed by such Luxembourg Guarantor to any other member of the Group) (the “Net Assets”).

The Net Assets value shall be determined as the highest of the calculations made on the basis of:

(i) the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor available as at the date of this Guaranty; and

(ii) the latest annual accounts of such Luxembourg Guarantor available as at the date on which a demand for payment is made in respect of the guaranty granted by such Luxembourg Guarantor.

Where, for the purpose of the above determinations, no duly established annual accounts are available for the relevant reference period (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes a situation where, in respect of the determination to be made above, no final annual accounts have been established in due time in respect of the then most recently ended financial year), the relevant Luxembourg Guarantor shall, promptly establish unaudited interim accounts (as of the date of the end of the then most recent financial quarter) or annual accounts (as applicable) duly established in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Luxembourg. If the Luxembourg Guarantor fails to provide such unaudited interim accounts or annual accounts (as applicable) within 30 (thirty) business days as from the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Administrative Agent (acting on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may appoint an approved statutory auditor (réviseur d’entreprises agréé) or an independent reputable investment bank which shall make the determination of the Net Assets amounts based on such available elements and facts as deemed relevant by it at such time.

The above limitation shall not apply to any amounts borrowed by, or made available to, in any form whatsoever, the Luxembourg Guarantor or any of its direct or indirect present or future subsidiaries under any Loan Document.

(d) Guaranty Limitation – Singapore.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, with respect to each Singapore Guarantor only, the guaranty granted by that Singapore Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not apply or extend to any liability to the extent it would result in the guaranty granted by that Singapore Guarantor constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of section 76 of the Companies Act 1967 of Singapore.

For the purposes of this Section 2.11:

Australian Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated or formed in Australia.

English Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated or formed in England and Wales.

Luxembourg Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated, registered or having its center of main interest in Luxembourg.

Singapore Guarantor” means any Guarantor incorporated or formed in Singapore.

Section 2.12 Post-Closing Guarantee Limitations.

To the extent that the jurisdiction of formation or incorporation of any Subsidiary Guarantor that becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13 requires additional local law provisions with respect to such new Subsidiary Guarantor’s guarantee obligations, such provisions, set out in the Guaranty Supplement (if any), shall be deemed automatically incorporated and shall apply to any Subsidiary Guarantor formed or incorporated in that jurisdiction by reference into this Section 2.12.

 

8

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the maximum aggregate liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not exceed an amount equal to the sum of (a) the Initial Amount at the time of determination plus (b) the amount of interest accrued but unpaid and not capitalized at the time of determination in respect of a principal amount of the Loans equal to the Initial Amount as of the time of determination.

ARTICLE III

INDEMNITY, SUBROGATION AND SUBORDINATION

Section 3.1 Indemnity and Subrogation.

In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 3.3), the Borrower agrees that in the event a payment of an obligation shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement, the Borrower shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.

Section 3.2 Contribution and Subrogation.

Each Guarantor (a “Contributing Party”) agrees (subject to Section 3.3) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Party”) shall not have been fully indemnified by the Borrower as provided in Section 3.1, the Contributing Party shall indemnify the Claiming Party in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Party on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Contributing Parties together with the net worth of the Claiming Party on the date hereof (or, in the case of any Guarantor becoming a party hereto pursuant to Section 4.13, the date of the Guaranty Supplement hereto executed and delivered by such Guarantor). Any Contributing Party making any payment to a Claiming Party pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming Party to the extent of such payment. Each Guarantor recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution. In this connection, each Guarantor has the right to waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, its contribution right against any other Guarantor to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Guarantor would remain solvent, in the determination of the Lenders.

 

9


Section 3.3 Subordination.

(a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be, without prejudice to any conflicting provisions in the Collateral Documents, fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise directs, until the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations no Guarantor may exercise any rights which it may have by reason of performance by it of its obligations under the Loan Documents or by reason of any amount being payable, or liability arising, under this Agreement (i) to be indemnified by any Loan Party; (ii) to claim any contribution from any other Guarantor; (iii) to take the benefit (in whole or in part and whether by way of subrogation or otherwise) of any rights of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or of any other guarantee or security taken pursuant to, or in connection with, the Loan Documents by any Secured Party; (iv) to bring legal or other proceedings for an order requiring any Loan Party to make any payment, or perform any obligation, in respect of which any Guarantor has given a guarantee, undertaking or indemnity under the Loan Documents; and (v) to exercise any right of set-off against any Loan Party; and/or to claim or prove as a creditor of any Loan Party in competition with any Secured Party; provided that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in connection with Section 9.03 of the Credit Agreement. No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.1 and 3.2 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1 Notices.

All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Guarantor shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 11.02 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.2 Waivers; Amendment.

(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this

 

10


Agreement or consent to any departure by any Guaranty Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.2, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on any Guaranty Party in any case shall entitle any Guaranty Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Guaranty Party or Guaranty Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 4.3 Fees and Expenses, Indemnification.

(a) The parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, each Guaranty Party agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 11.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and reimburse them in respect of, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or Related Indemnified Person of such Indemnitee.

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Guaranteed Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party. All amounts due under this Section 4.3 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.

 

11


Section 4.4 Survival of Agreement.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Guaranteed Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

Section 4.5 Counterparts; Effectiveness; Successors and Assigns; Several Agreement.

This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a one and the same instrument. Delivery by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile transmission or other electronic communication. This Agreement shall become effective as to any Guaranty Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Guaranty Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Guaranty Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, and shall inure to the benefit of such Guaranty Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns permitted thereby, except that no Guaranty Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Guaranty Party and may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Guaranty Party without the approval of any other Guaranty Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Guaranty Party hereunder.

Section 4.6 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent, each Lender under this Section 4.7 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set off) that the Administrative Agent and such Lender may have.
