ZILLOW GROUP GUARANTEE
Section 3.1 Guarantee. Zillow Group (the Guarantor) hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company hereunder or thereunder, that:
(a) the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes will be promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, conversion or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes, if lawful, and all other obligations of the Company to the Holder or the Trustee under the Indenture, this Supplemental Indenture and the Notes will be promptly paid or performed in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, conversion or otherwise; and
(b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise (collectively, such guarantee, the Note Guarantee).
Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantor will be obligated to pay or perform the same immediately. The Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes or the Indenture.
If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, the Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either the Company or the Guarantor, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, will be reinstated in full force and effect.
The Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. The Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (1) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (2) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Section 6.02 of the Indenture, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.
Section 3.2 Limitation on Guarantor Liability. The Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Note Guarantee, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that this Note Guarantee of the Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Note Guarantee.
Section 3.3 Execution. To evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 3.01 hereof, this Supplemental Indenture will be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by one of its Officers.
The Guarantor hereby agrees that the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 3.01 hereof will remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Note a notation of the Note Guarantee.
If an Officer whose signature is on this Supplemental Indenture no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Note on which the Note Guarantee is endorsed, the Note Guarantee will be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, will constitute due delivery of the Note Guarantee set forth in this Supplemental Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.
Section 3.4 Releases. Upon the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture in accordance with Article 3 of the Indenture, the Guarantor will be released and relieved of any obligations under the Note Guarantee.
