”), the Company has agreed to sell and issue to the
Purchasers, and the Purchasers have agreed to purchase from the

WHEREAS, each

Company represented by the issuance of the Debentures;
and
NOW, THEREFORE,
in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers to
enter into the Exchange Agreement and to carry out the transactions
contemplated thereby, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the
Purchasers as follows:
1. Definitions . Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined
in the Exchange Agreement and used herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Exchange Agreement. The words
“hereof,” “herein,” “hereto”
and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used
in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and not
to any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and
Schedule references are to this Guarantee unless otherwise
specified. The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be
equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such
terms. The following terms shall have the following
meanings:
“ Guarantee ” means this
Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time.
“ Obligations ” means, in
addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred by
Purchasers in enforcing any of such Obligations and/or this
Guarantee, all of the liabilities and obligations (primary,
secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several) due or to
become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or
acquired, or owing to, of any Debtor to the Secured Parties,
including, without limitation, all obligations under this
Agreement, the Debentures, this Guarantee and any other
instruments, agreements or other documents executed and/or
delivered in connection herewith or therewith, in each case,
whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary or involuntary, direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated,
whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not from
time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created
or incurred, and all or any portion of such obligations or
liabilities that are paid, to the extent all or any part of such
payment is avoided or recovered directly or indirectly from any of
the Secured Parties as a preference, fraudulent transfer or
otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented,
converted, extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations”
shall include, without limitation: (i) principal of, and interest
on the Debentures and the loans extended pursuant thereto; (ii) any
and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and liabilities
of the Debtors from time to time under or in connection with this
Agreement, the Debentures, the Guarantee and any other instruments,
agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in
connection herewith or therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including
but not limited to post-petition interest) in respect of the
foregoing that would be payable but for the fact that the
obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable
due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving any Debtor.
|
|
|
The Guarantors
hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantee to the Purchasers and their respective successors,
indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment
and performance by the Company when due (whether at the stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
Obligations.
|
|
|
|
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 federal and state laws, including laws relating to the
insolvency of debtors, fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally (after giving effect to
the right of contribution established in Section 2(b)).
|
|
|
|
Each Guarantor
agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time
exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or
affecting the rights and remedies of the Purchasers
hereunder.
|
|
|
|
The guarantee
contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect
until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been
satisfied by payment in full.
|
|
|
|
No payment made
by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any
other Person or received or collected by the Purchasers from the
Company, any of the Guarantors, 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 any
Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment
(other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the
Obligations or any payment received or collected from such
Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the
Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder
until the Obligations are paid in full.
|
|
|
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any
defaulted non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of
which by the Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the
issuance of the Company's Common Stock), the Guarantors shall only
be liable for making the Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for
the Company's failure to perform such Obligations in accordance
with the Transaction Documents.
|
(b) 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 2(c). The
provisions of this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the
obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Purchasers, and
each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Purchasers for the full
amount guaranteed by such Guarantor hereunder.
(c) No Subrogation . Notwithstanding any payment made by any
Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any
Guarantor by the Purchasers, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be
subrogated to any of the rights of the Purchasers against the
Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or
guarantee or right of offset held by the Purchasers for the payment
of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to
seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any
other Guarantor in respect of payments made by such Guarantor
hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Purchasers by the Company
on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall
be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at
any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in
full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the
Purchasers, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to
the Purchasers in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly
indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required), to be
applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
such order as the Purchasers may determine.
(d) Amendments, Etc. With Respect to the
Obligations . Each
Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that,
without any reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without
notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for
payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be
rescinded by the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued,
and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or
for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee
therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the
Purchasers, and the Exchange Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents and any other documents executed and delivered in
connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or
terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers may deem
advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee
or right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for the
payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived,
surrendered or released. The Purchasers shall have no obligation to
protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by
them as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained
in this Section 2 or any property subject thereto.
(e) Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional
. Each Guarantor waives any and all
notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Purchasers
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or acceptance of the
guarantee contained in this Section 2; the Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted
or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings
between the Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and
the Purchasers, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively
presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the
guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each Guarantor waives to the
extent permitted by law diligence, presentment, protest, demand for
payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company
or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each
Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in
this Section 2 shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and
unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (a) the
validity or enforceability of the Exchange Agreement or any other
Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with
respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the
Purchasers, (b) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a
defense of payment or performance or fraud or misconduct by
Purchasers) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by
the Company or any other Person against the Purchasers, or (c) any
other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or
might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge
of the Company for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the
guarantee contained in this Section 2, in bankruptcy or in any
other instance. When making any demand hereunder or otherwise
pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
the Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a
similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as
they may have against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other
Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any
failure by the Purchasers to make any such demand, to pursue such
other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the
Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon
any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such
right of offset, or any release of the Company, any other Guarantor
or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or
right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation
or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of
law, of the Purchasers against any Guarantor. For the purposes
hereof, “demand” shall include the commencement and
continuance of any legal proceedings.
(f) Reinstatement . The guarantee contained in this Section 2
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 the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorga
