Guarantee
SECTION 2.01. Guarantee.
(a) Each Subsidiary Guarantor unconditionally guarantees,
jointly with the other Subsidiary Guarantors and severally, as a
primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual
payment of the Purchase Money Obligations. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor further agrees that the Purchase Money Obligations may be
extended, increased or renewed, in whole or in part, or amended or
modified without notice to or further assent from it, and that it
will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension,
increase or renewal, or amendment or modification, of any Purchase
Money Obligation, and agrees to pay any and all expenses
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel)
incurred by any Agent or any Purchase Money Lender in enforcing any
rights under this guarantee or any other Loan Document. Each
Subsidiary Guarantor does hereby (i) waive notice of
acceptance of this guarantee; (ii) waive any notices or
demands that are not required by this Agreement or the Credit
Agreement, as well as any other notices or demands that may
otherwise be imposed by law; (iii) waive any and all rights
that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have under any antideficiency
statute or similar protections; (iv) agree not to assert any
defense, right of set off or other claim which such Subsidiary
Guarantor may have against the Borrower; (v) waive
presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance or
dishonor, protest and notice of protest, promptness, diligence in
collection and any and all formalities which otherwise might be
legally required to charge such Subsidiary Guarantor with
liability; and (vi) waive and agree not to assert or take
advantage of assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by
11 U.S.Code §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary
bankruptcy proceeding of the Borrower) or any other stay or delay
provided under any debtor relief law (whether statutory, common
law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or
hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable to the
Borrower, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict,
condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Collateral Agent to
enforce any of its rights which the Collateral Agent may have
against such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this
Agreement.
(b) Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability shall
be extended to all amounts that constitute part of the Purchase
Money Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any
Agent or Purchase Money Lender under or in respect of the Loan
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 Loan Party.
3
(c) Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and
by its acceptance of this guarantee, each Agent and each Purchase
Money Lender, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such
Persons that this guarantee and the Purchase Money Obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of Title 11 U.S. Code, the
Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer
Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent
applicable to this guarantee and the Purchase Money Obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Purchase Money
Lenders, and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the Purchase Money Obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor
under this guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum
amount as will result in the Purchase Money Obligations of such
Subsidiary Guarantor under this guarantee not constituting a
fraudulent conveyance or transfer.
SECTION 2.02. Guarantee of
Payment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its
guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and
not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort
be had by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to any
security held for the payment of the Purchase Money Obligations or
to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the
Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of the
Borrower or any other Person.
SECTION 2.03. No Limitations.
(a) Except for termination of a Subsidiary Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 6.13,
the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be
subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for
any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender,
alteration or compromise of any of the Purchase Money Obligations,
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 Purchase Money Obligations or
otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be
discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the
failure of the Collateral Agent or any other Purchase Money 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 or modification 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 Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the
release of, or any impairment of or failure to perfect any Lien on
or security interest in, any security held by the Collateral Agent
or any other Purchase Money Secured Party for the Purchase Money
Obligations or any of them; (iv) any default, failure or
delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Purchase
Money Obligations; or (v) any other act or omission that may
or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any
Subsidiary Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any
Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the
indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Purchase Money
Obligations). Each Subsidiary Guarantor expressly authorizes the
Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and
performance of the Purchase Money Obligations, to exchange, waive
or release any or all such security (with or without
consideration), to
4
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 Subsidiary Guarantors
or obligors upon or in respect of the Purchase Money Obligations,
all without affecting the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor
hereunder.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Purchase Money
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other
Subsidiary Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all the Purchase Money Obligations. The Collateral Agent
and the other Secured Parties may, 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 Purchase
Money Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Guarantor or exercise any other right or remedy
available to them against the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor,
without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Purchase
Money Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in full in
cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each
Subsidiary 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 Subsidiary Guarantor
against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case
may be, or any security. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges
that it will receive substantial direct benefits from the financing
arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the
waivers set forth in this Section 2.03 are knowingly made in
contemplation of such benefits.
SECTION 2.04. Reinstatement.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that its guarantee hereunder shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Purchase Money
Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the
Collateral Agent or any other Purchase Money Secured Party upon the
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any Subsidiary
Guarantor or otherwise.
SECTION 2.05. Agreement to Pay;
Subrogation. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Collateral Agent or any
other Purchase Money Secured Party has at law or in equity against
any Subsidiary Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor to pay any Purchase Money
Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise,
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith
pay, or cause to be paid, to the Collateral Agent for distribution
to the applicable Purchase Money Secured Parties in cash the amount
of such unpaid Purchase Money Obligation. Upon payment by any
Subsidiary Guarantor of any sums to the Collateral Agent as
provided above, all rights of such Subsidiary Guarantor against the
Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor arising as a result
thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be
subject to Article VI.
5
SECTION 2.06. Information.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and
keeping itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other
Subsidiary Guarantor’s financial condition and assets, and of
all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Purchase Money Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks that such Subsidiary Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder,
and agrees that none of the Collateral Agent or the other Purchase
Money Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Subsidiary
Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such
circumstances or risks.
ARTICLE III
Security Interests in Personal
Property
SECTION 3.01. Security
Interest. (a) As security for the payment in full of the
Purchase Money Obligations, each Loan Party hereby pledges to the
Collateral Agent, its permitted successors and assigns, for the
benefit of the Purchase Money Secured Parties, and hereby grants to
the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit
of the Purchase Money Secured Parties, a security interest (the
“ Security Interest ”) in all right, title or
interest in or to any and all of the assets and properties of such
Loan Party described on Schedule II attached hereto and made a part
hereof, as such Schedule II may be supplemented or modified from
time to time to describe additional assets and properties of such
Loan Party granted to secure such Loan Party’s Purchase Money
Obligations (collectively, the “ Article 9
Collateral ”), together with all books and records
pertaining to the Article 9 Collateral, and, to the extent not
otherwise included, all Proceeds and products of the Article 9
Collateral and all assets and property affixed or appurtenant
thereto.
(b) Each Loan Party hereby
irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent at any time and from
time to time to file in the proper jurisdictions any initial
financing statements (including, if applicable, fixture filings)
with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof
and amendments thereto and continuations thereof that contain the
information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of
each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing
statement or amendment, including (i) statements as to whether
such Loan Party is an organization, the type of organization and
any organizational identification number issued to such Loan Party
and (ii) in the case of a financing statement filed as a
fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to
which such Article 9 Collateral relates. Each Loan Party
agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly
upon request.
Each Loan Party also ratifies its
authorization for the Collateral Agent to file in any proper
jurisdiction any initial financing statements or amendments thereto
if filed prior to the date hereof.
6
(c) The Security Interest is granted
as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any
other Purchase Money Secured Party to, or in any way alter or
modify, any obligation or liability of any Loan Party with respect
to or arising out of the Article 9 Collateral (other than the
duties expressly created hereunder).
SECTION 3.02. Representations and
Warranties. The Loan Parties jointly and severally represent
and warrant to the Collateral Agent and the other Purchase Money
Secured Parties that:
(a) Each Loan Party has good and
valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with
respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest
hereunder and has full power and authority to grant to the
Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Purchase Money Secured
Parties, the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral
pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent
or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval
that has been obtained.
(b) The Perfection Certificate has
been duly prepared, completed and executed and the information set
forth therein, including the exact legal name and place of
organization of each Loan Party, is correct and complete as of the

filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral
Agent based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent
in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental,
municipal or other office specified in Schedule 6 to the
Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the Borrower to
the Collateral Agent after the Effective Date in the case of
filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 5.12
of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and
registrations that are necessary to publish notice of, perfect and
protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and
perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for
the benefit of the Purchase Money Secured Parties) in respect of
all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be
perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States
(or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and
possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling,
recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary
in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law
with respect to the filing of continuation statements.
(c) The Article 9 Collateral is
owned by the Loan Parties free and clear of any Lien, except for
Liens created under the Loan Documents and the Permitted Liens.
None of the Loan Parties has filed or consented to the filing of
(i) any financing statement or analogous document under the
Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any
Article 9 Collateral or (ii) any assignment in which any
Loan Party assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security
agreement or similar instrument covering any Article 9
Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other
office, which financing statement or analogous document,
assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in
effect, except, in each case, for Liens created under the Loan
Documents and the Permitted Liens.
7
SECTION 3.03. Covenants. (a)
Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, each Loan Party shall, upon reasonable request of the
Collateral Agent, promptly prepare and deliver to the Collateral
Agent a duly certified schedule or schedules in form and detail
satisfactory to the Collateral Agent showing the identity, amount
and location of any and all Article 9 Collateral.
(b) Each Loan Party agrees, at its
own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly
filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such
actions as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably
request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the
Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby,
including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection
with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of
the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements
(including, if applicable, fixture filings) or other documents in
connection herewith or therewith.
Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, each Loan Party hereby authorizes the Collateral
Agent, with prompt notice thereof to the Loan Parties, to
supplement this Agreement by supplementing Schedule II or
adding additional schedules hereto to specifically identify any
asset or item that may constitute Article 9 Collateral financed
with the proceeds of any Purchase Money Loans; provided that
any Loan Party shall have the right, exercisable within
10 days after it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of
the specific identification of such additional Article 9
Collateral, to advise the Collateral Agent in writing of any
inaccuracy (i) with respect to such supplement or additional
schedule or (ii) of the representations and warranties made by
such Loan Party hereunder with respect to such Collateral. Each
Loan Party agrees that it will use its reasonable best efforts to
take such action as shall be necessary in order that all
representations and warranties hereunder shall be true and correct
with respect to such Collateral within 30 days after the date
it has been notified by the Collateral Agent of the specific
identification of such Collateral.
(c) At its option, the Collateral
Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges,
fees and Liens at any time levied or placed on the Article 9
Collateral and not permitted pursuant to Section 5.07 or 6.08
of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the mai
