(i)            Each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as a primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties the punctual payment when due (but subject to the expiration of any grace period granted by the Secured Parties in their sole discretion or the giving of any required notice provided for in any secured Transaction Document), whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of the Obligations of the Company and each other Grantor now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Secured Transaction Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “ Guaranteed Obligations ”), and agrees to pay any and all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel) incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Investor in enforcing any rights under this Subsidiary Guaranty (the “ Subsidiary Guaranty ”) or any other Secured Transaction Document.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Grantor to the Collateral Agent or any Investor under or in respect of the Secured 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 Grantor.

 

(ii)           Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of the Subsidiary Guaranty, the Collateral Agent and each other Investor, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder 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 foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Subsidiary Guaranty and the Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder.  To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Collateral Agent, the other Investors and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

(iii)          Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to the Collateral Agent or any Investor under the Subsidiary Guaranty or any other guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Subsidiary Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Collateral Agent and Investors under or in respect of the Secured Transaction Documents.

(b)           Subsidiary Guaranty Absolute .  Each U.S. Subsidiary Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Secured Transaction 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 the Collateral Agent or any Investor with respect thereto.  The Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under or in respect of the Subsidiary Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Grantor under or in respect of the Secured Transaction Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the Subsidiary Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Company or any other Grantor or whether the Company or any other Grantor is joined in any such action or actions.  The liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

 

(i)            any lack of validity or enforceability of any Secured Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(ii)           any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Grantor under or in respect of the Secured Transaction Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Secured Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

 

(iii)          any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations it being understood that any such amendment, waiver or consent shall be applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors;

 

(iv)          any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

(v)           any failure of any Investor to disclose to any Grantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Grantor now or hereafter known to such Investor (each Subsidiary Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Investors to disclose such information);

 

(vi)          the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty and Security Agreement, any Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Subsidiary Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

 

(vii)         any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Investor that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor or any other guarantor or surety, in each case other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

 

12



 

This Subsidiary Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Investor or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or any other Grantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

(c)           Waivers and Acknowledgments .  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives:

 

(i)            promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Subsidiary Guaranty and any requirement that any Investor protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Grantor or any other Person;

 

(ii)           any right to revoke this Subsidiary Guaranty and acknowledges that this Subsidiary Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed Obligations, whether existing now or in the future;

 

(iii)          (A) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Investor that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor or other rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Grantors, any other guarantor or any other Person, and (B) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder;

 

(iv)          any duty on the part of any Investor to disclose to such Subsidiary Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Grantor or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Investor; and

 

(v)           each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Secured Transaction Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 1.3(b) and this Section 1.3(c) are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

 

(d)           Subrogation .  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company, any other Grantor or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of this Subsidiary Guaranty or any other Secured Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Investor against the Company, any other Grantor or any other insider guarantor, whether or not such claim, remedy

(e)           Subordination .  Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Subsidiary Guarantor by each other Grantor (the “ Subordinated Obligations ”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 1.3:

 

(i)            Prohibited Payments, Etc .  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Subsidiary Guarantor may receive payments from any other Grantor on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, however, any Subsidiary Guarantor may demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

 

(ii)           Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations .  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Grantor, each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that the Investors shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“ Post-Petition Interest ”)) (other than contingent indemnification obligations) before such Subsidiary Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

 

(iii)          Turn-Over .  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall, if the Collateral Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for

the Investors and deliver such payments to the Collateral Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the other provisions of the Subsidiary Guaranty.

 

(iv)          Collateral Agent Authorization .  After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Collateral Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its reasonable discretion, (A) in the name of each Subsidiary Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (B) to require each Subsidiary Guarantor (1) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, the Subordinated Obligations and (2) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Collateral Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest).

 

(f)            Continuing Subsidiary Guaranty; Assignments .  The Subsidiary Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) be binding upon each Subsidiary Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Investors and their successors, transferees and assigns.
