Agreement to Guarantee Obligations

(a) the due and prompt payment by the Issuer of:

 

(i) all present and future obligations of the Issuer under the Notes (whether issued and outstanding on the date hereof or issued after the date hereof), including, without limitation, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest at the rate specified in the Notes (including interest accruing during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”)) on the Extensions of Credit, when and as due, whether at scheduled maturity, date set for prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise, and

(ii) all other present and future monetary obligations of the Issuer to the Holders under the Transaction Documents, when and as due, including fees, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and expenses of counsel incurred by the Collateral Agent or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), contract causes of action and indemnities, whether primary, secondary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, fixed or otherwise (including monetary obligations incurred during the pendency of any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other similar proceeding, regardless of whether allowed or allowable in such proceeding); and

 

(b) the due and prompt performance of all covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Transaction Documents; and

 

(c) all such obligations in subsections (a) through (b), whether now or hereafter existing, being referred to collectively as the “Obligations.” Each Guarantor further agrees that all or part of the Obligations may be increased, extended, substituted, amended, renewed or otherwise modified without notice to or consent from any such Guarantor and such actions shall not affect the liability of any such Guarantor hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Obligations and would be owed by any other Note Party to the Holders or the Collateral Agent under or in respect of the Purchase Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Note Party.

 

Anything herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable laws relating to the insolvency of debtors (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.03).

 

Section 2.02 Reinstatement. Each Guarantor agrees that its guaranty hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time all or part of any payment of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Holders or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or any other Note Party or otherwise.

 

3

 

 

Section 2.03 Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 4.01. The provisions of this Section 2.03 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Collateral Agent and the Holders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder.

The Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Obligations of any other Note Party under any Transaction Document. A separate action may be brought against each Guarantor to enforce this Agreement, whether or not any action is brought against any other Note Party or whether or not any other Note Party is joined in any such action. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder is irrevocable, continuing, absolute and unconditional and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise effected by, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of:

(f) any failure of any Holder to disclose to any Note Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Note Party now or hereafter known to any Holder; such Guarantor waiving any duty of the Holders to disclose such information;

 

4

 

 

(g) the failure of any Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any other guarantor or surety with respect to the Obligations;

 

(h) the failure of any Holder to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Transaction Document or otherwise;

 

(i) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) that may at any time be available to, or be asserted by, the Issuer against any Holder; or

 

(j) any other circumstance that may operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Guarantor or other Note Party, including, without limitation, (i) any statute of limitations, (ii) any manner of administering the Extensions of Credit, or (iii) any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Holder that might vary the risk of such Guarantor.

Article IV

Guarantor Rights of Subrogation, Etc.

 

Section 4.01 Agreement to Pay; Subrogation, Subordination, Etc.

 

(a) Without limiting any other right that the Collateral Agent or any Holder has at law or in equity against each Guarantor, if any Note Party fails to pay any Obligation when and as due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor, jointly and severally, agrees to promptly pay the amount of such unpaid Obligations to the Collateral Agent or the Holders in cash. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent or the Holders as provided herein, all of such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation, exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise arising therefrom against the Issuer or any other Note Party shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to, and postponed until, the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of the Issuer now or hereafter held by each Guarantor is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations. If any payment shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence on account of (i) such subrogation, exoneration, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of the Issuer, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Holders, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and promptly paid or delivered to the Holders in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether due or to become due, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents or to be held as collateral for any Obligations.

Such Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b) Such Guarantor has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Guarantor and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate, limited liability company or limited partnership action on the part of such Guarantor. This Agreement has been duly executed by such Guarantor and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

(c) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Guarantor and the consummation by such Guarantor of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its organizational documents, or (ii) conflict with, constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or instrument (evidencing a Issuer or Subsidiary debt or otherwise) to which such Guarantor is a party, or (iii) subject to the Required Approvals, conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or Governmental Authority to which such Guarantor is subject, or by which any material property or asset of such Guarantor is subject, or by which any property or asset of such Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The business of such Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any Governmental Authority, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(d) Such Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver, authorization or order of, give any notice to or make any filing or registration with, any court or other federal, state, local or other Governmental Authority or other Person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Agreement other than the Required Approvals, to the extent applicable.

 

(e) There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement that have not been satisfied or waived.

If any Action shall be brought against any Indemnitee in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify such Guarantor in writing, and such Guarantor shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. Any Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnitee except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Note Parties in writing, (ii) in such Action there is, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of such Guarantor and the position of such Indemnitee or (iii) such Guarantor has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense, in which case such Guarantor shall be responsible for the reasonable, documented fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel. No Guarantor will be liable to any Indemnitee under this Agreement for any settlement by an Indemnitee effected without such Guarantor’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The indemnification required by this Section 6.02 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or are incurred. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any cause of action or similar right of any Indemnitee against any Note Party or others and any liabilities any Note Party may be subject to pursuant to law.

If a Tax Deduction is required by law to be made by a Note Party, the amount of the payment due from such Note Party under this Agreement shall be increased to an amount which (after making any Tax Deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due under this Agreement if no Tax Deduction had been required. If a Note Party is required to make a Tax Deduction, it shall make that Tax Deduction and any payment required in connection with that Tax Deduction within the time allowed and in the minimum amount required by law.
