GUARANTY PROVISIONS
SECTION 2.1. Guaranty.
(a) The Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations.
(b) If and to the extent required in order for the Obligations of the Guarantor to be enforceable under applicable federal, state and other laws relating to the insolvency of debtors, the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the greatest amount which can lawfully be guaranteed by the Guarantor under such laws, after giving effect to any rights of contribution, reimbursement and subrogation arising under Section 2.5. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, (i) the Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including the Guarantor in its capacity as debtor-in-possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right under such laws to reduce, or request any judicial relief that has the effect of reducing, the amount of its liability under this Guaranty, (ii) the Guarantor (as opposed to its creditors, representatives of creditors or bankruptcy trustee, including the Guarantor in its capacity as debtor in possession exercising any powers of a bankruptcy trustee) has no personal right to enforce the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) or to reduce, or request judicial relief reducing, the amount of its liability under this Guaranty, and (iii) the limitation set forth in this Section 2.1(b) may be enforced only to the extent required under such laws in order for the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty to be enforceable under such laws and only by or for the benefit of a creditor, representative of creditors or bankruptcy trustee of the Guarantor or other person entitled, under such laws, to enforce the provisions thereof.
(c) The Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of the Guarantor under Section 2.1(b) without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or affecting the rights and remedies of any Secured Party hereunder.
(d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect until payment in full of the Obligations, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations.
(e) No payment made by the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other person or received or collected by any Secured Party from the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of the Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received or collected from the Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of the Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full.
SECTION 2.2. Reinstatement, etc. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Secured Party
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or the Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or the Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made.
SECTION 2.3. Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until the Termination Date has occurred. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails or refuses to punctually make any payment or perform the Obligations, the Guarantor shall unconditionally render any such payment or performance upon demand made on it in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty. Nothing but the payment and satisfaction in full of the Obligations shall release the Guarantor from the Guarantors Obligations under this Guaranty. The only condition (and no other document, proof or action other than as specifically provided in this Guaranty is) necessary as a condition of the Guarantor honoring its obligations under the Guaranty shall be a demand by the Lenders to the Guarantor. This Guaranty shall be a continuing Guaranty, shall cover all the Obligations, and shall apply to and secure any ultimate balance due or remaining unpaid to the Lenders. The liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or other agreement relating to any Obligation;
(b) whether any other person or persons (an Additional Guarantor) shall become in any other way responsible to the Lenders for, or in respect of all or any part of the Obligations;
(c) whether any such Additional Guarantor shall cease to be so liable;
(d) the enforceability, validity, perfection or effect of perfection or non-perfection of any security interest securing the Obligations, or the validity or enforceability of any of the Obligations;
(e) whether any payment of any of the Obligations has been made and where such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be returned upon the occurrence of any action or event, including the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment has not been made;
(f) the failure of any Secured Party
(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other person (including any other guarantor) under the provisions of any Loan Document or other agreement relating to any Obligation or otherwise, or
(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor (including the Guarantor) of, or collateral securing, any Obligations;
(g) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Obligations, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation;
(h) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution or liquidation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any change in the name, business, powers, capital structure, constitution, objects, organization, directors or management of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to the transactions occurring either before or after such change; or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Obligations or otherwise;
(i) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document or other agreement relating to any Obligation;
(j) any addition, exchange or release of any collateral or of any person that is (or will become) a guarantor (including the Guarantor hereunder) of the Obligations, or any surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition to, or consent to or departure from, any other guaranty held by any Secured Party securing any of the Obligations;
(k) any other defense based upon:
(i) the unenforceability or invalidity of all or any part of the Obligations, or any security or other guaranty for the Obligations or any failure of the Lender to take proper care or act in a commercially reasonable manner in respect of any security for the Obligations or any collateral subject to the security, including in respect of any disposition of the Collateral;
(ii) any act or omission of the Borrower or any other person, including the Lender, that directly or indirectly results in the discharge or release of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any of the Obligations or any security for the Obligations; or
(iii) the Lenders present or future method of dealing with the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Additional Guarantor or any security (or any collateral subject to the security) or other guaranty for the Obligations;
(l) any right (whether now or hereafter existing) to require the Lender, as a condition to the enforcement of this Guaranty:
(i) to accelerate the Obligations or proceed and exhaust any recourse against the Borrower or any other person;
(ii) to realize on any security that it holds;
(iii) to marshal the assets of either the Borrower or any other Loan Party; or
(iv) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantor may not be able to pursue itself and that might limit or reduce the Guarantors burden;
(m) presentment, demand, protest and notice of any kind including, without limitation, notices of default and notice of acceptance of this Guaranty;
(n) all suretyship defenses and rights of every nature otherwise available under New York law and the laws of any other jurisdiction;
(o) all other rights and defenses (legal or equitable) the assertion or exercise of which would in any way diminish the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty; or
(p) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any surety or any other guarantor.
SECTION 2.4. Waiver, etc. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other person or any Collateral securing the Obligations, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.5. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. The Guarantor agrees that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or other agreement relating to any Obligation to which it is a party, nor shall the Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from any Loan Party, in respect of any payment made hereunder, under any other Loan Document or other agreement relating to any Obligation or otherwise, until following the Termination Date. Any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the Termination Date shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall immediately be paid and turned over to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in the exact form received by the Guarantor (duly endorsed in favor of the Administrative Agent, if required), to be credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 2.6; provided, however, that if the Guarantor has made payment to the Secured Parties of all or any part of the Obligations and the Termination Date has occured, then at the Guarantors request, the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) will, at the expense of the Guarantor, execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations resulting from such
payment. In furtherance of the foregoing, at all times prior to the Termination Date the Guarantor shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Loan Party (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guaranty to any Secured Party.
SECTION 2.6. Payments; Application. The Guarantor hereby agrees with each Secured Party as follows:
(a) The Guarantor agrees that the entries made in the accounts maintained by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.04 of the Credit Agreement shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations therein recorded; provided, however, that (i) the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder and (ii) if there is any conflict between such accounts and the Register, the Register shall govern.
(b) All payments made hereunder shall be applied upon receipt (i) first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements, then due to the Agents from the Borrower; (ii) second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrower; (iii) third, to pay interest due in respect of the Loans; (iv) fourth, to pay or prepay principal of the Loans; (v) fifth to the payment of any other Obligation due to an Agent or any Lender by the Borrower and (vi) sixth, after payment in full of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(v), and following the Termination Date, to the Guarantor or any other person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
ARTICLE III
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
SECTION 3.1. Representations. In order to induce the Secured Parties to enter into the Credit Agreement and make the Loans thereunder, the Guarantor represents and warrants to each Secured Party as set forth below.
(a) The representations and warranties contained in Article 3 of the Credit Agreement which are specifically stated to have been made by the Guarantor are hereby incorporated into this Guaranty.
(b) The Guarantor has knowledge of the Borrowers and each other Loan Partys financial condition and affairs and has adequate means to obtain from the Borrower and each other Loan Party on an ongoing basis information relating thereto and to the Borrowers and such Loan Partys ability to pay and perform the Obligations, and agrees to assume the responsibility for keeping, and to keep, so informed for so long as this Guaranty is in effect. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties shall have no obligation to investigate the financial condition or affairs of any Loan Party for the benefit of the Guarantor nor to advise the Guarantor of any fact respecting, or any change in, the financial condition or affairs of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party that might become known to any Secured Party at any time, whether or not such Secured Party knows or believes or has reason to know or believe that any such fact or change is unknown to the Guarantor, or might (or does) materially increase the risk of the Guarantor as guarantor, or might (or would) affect the willingness of the Guarantor to continue as a guarantor of the Obligations.
(c) It is in the best interests of the Guarantor to execute this Guaranty inasmuch as the Guarantor will, as a result of being an indirect parent of the Borrower, derive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the Loans made from time to time to the Borrower by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and the Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on this representation in agreeing to make Loans to the Borrower.
ARTICLE IV
INDEMNITY
As an original and independent obligation under this Guaranty, the Guarantor shall (i) indemnify the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of itself and the other Lenders against all out-of-pocket costs, losses, expenses and liabilities of whatever kind resulting from the failure by any other Loan Party to make due and punctual payment of any of the Obligations or resulting from any of the Obligations being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective against any other Loan Party (including, but without limitation, all out-of-pocket legal and other costs, charges and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself and the other Lenders, in connection with preserving or enforcing, or attempting to preserve or enforce, its rights under this Guaranty); and (ii) pay on demand the amount of such costs, losses, expenses and liabilities whether or not the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of itself and the other Lenders has attempted to enforce any rights against any other Loan Party or any other person or otherwise.
