GUARANTOR'S WAIVERS (a) Guarantor waives any right to require WFBC to: (i) proceed against any Obligor or any other Person; (ii) marshal assets or proceed against or exhaust any security granted by any Obligor or any other Person; (iii) give notice of the terms, time and place of any public or private sale or other disposition of personal property security granted by any Obligor or any other Person; (iv) take any other action or pursue any other remedy in WFBC’s power; or (v) make any presentment or demand for performance, or give any notice of nonperformance, protest, notice of protest or notice of dishonor hereunder or in connection with any obligations or evidences of indebtedness held by WFBC as security for or which constitute in whole or in part the Obligations guaranteed hereunder, or in connection with the creation of new or additional Obligations. (b) Guarantor waives any defense to its obligations hereunder based upon or arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of any Obligor or any other Person; (ii) the cessation or limitation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of the Obligations or the indebtedness of any other Person; (iii) any lack of authority of any officer, director, partner, agent or any other Person acting or purporting to act on behalf of any Obligor, if it is a corporation, partnership or other type of entity, or any defect in the formation of any Obligor; (iv) the application by any Obligor of the proceeds of any Obligations for purposes other than the purposes represented by such Obligor to, or intended or understood by, WFBC or Guarantor; (v) any act or omission by WFBC which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of any Obligor or any portion of the Obligations by operation of law or otherwise, or which in any way impairs or suspends any rights or remedies of WFBC against any Obligor; (vi) any impairment of the value of any interest in any security for the Obligations or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the failure to obtain or maintain perfection or recordation of any interest in any such security, the release of any such security without substitution, or the failure to preserve the value of, or to comply with applicable law in disposing of, any such security; (vii) any modification of the Obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any Obligations incurred prior to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of, or other change in the terms of, the Obligations or any portion thereof; or (viii) any requirement that WFBC give any notice of acceptance of this Guaranty. Until all Obligations have been paid in full, Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, and Guarantor waives any right to enforce any remedy which WFBC now has or may hereafter have against any Obligor or any other Person, and waives any benefit of, or any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by WFBC. Guarantor further waives all rights and defenses Guarantor may have arising out of (A) any election of remedies by WFBC, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for any portion of the Obligations, destroys Guarantor’s rights of subrogation or Guarantor’s rights to proceed against any Obligor for reimbursement, or (B) any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer by reason of any rights, powers or remedies of any Obligor in connection with any anti-deficiency laws or any other laws limiting, qualifying or discharging the Obligations, whether by operation of law or otherwise, including any rights Guarantor may have to a fair market value hearing to determine the size of a deficiency following any foreclosure sale or other disposition of any real property security for any portion of the Obligations.
Authority of Guarantors or Borrower It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or Borrower or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.
Additional Guarantors and Grantors Subject to any applicable limitations set forth in the Security Documents, the Borrower will cause each direct or indirect Domestic Subsidiary (excluding any Excluded Subsidiary) formed or otherwise purchased or acquired after the Original Closing Date (including pursuant to a Permitted Acquisition) and each other Domestic Subsidiary that ceases to constitute an Excluded Subsidiary to, within 30 days from the date of such formation, acquisition or cessation, as applicable (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), and Borrower may at its option cause any Subsidiary to, execute a supplement to each of the Guarantee, the Pledge Agreement and the Security Agreement in order to become a Guarantor under the Guarantee and a grantor under such Security Documents or, to the extent reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent, enter into a new Security Document substantially consistent with the analogous existing Security Documents and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Collateral Agent and take all other action reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to grant a perfected security interest in its assets to substantially the same extent as created by the Credit Parties on the Original Closing Date (including, without limitation, in the case of a Foreign Subsidiary causing such Foreign Subsidiary to execute guarantees and security agreements compatible with the laws of such Foreign Subsidiary’s jurisdiction in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent). Notwithstanding anything in any Credit Document to the contrary, as of the 2014 July Repricing Effective Date: (i) FDR Limited, Money Network Financial, LLC and TeleCheck Services, Inc. are each released as Guarantors under the Credit Documents, (ii) FDR Limited shall be deemed a Foreign Subsidiary for purposes of any requirement relating to the pledge of Equity Interests in FDR Limited and (iii) unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent otherwise prior to the time such release would apply, any Guarantor shall be automatically cease to be a Guarantor under the Credit Documents and in such capacity will be automatically released from the Guarantees (and for the avoidance of doubt each other Security Document) to the extent such Guarantor ceases to be a wholly-owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Borrower and the value of such Guarantor at such time (when aggregated with the value (at the time of release) of all prior Guarantors that have ceased to be Guarantors pursuant to this clause (iii)), does not exceed (a) 10% of Consolidated EBITDA as of the most recently ended Test Period plus (b) the amount of Investments that would be permitted to be made pursuant to Section 10.5 (other than clause (g)(i)(c) thereto) with respect to such Subsidiary (as such Subsidiary exists after ceasing to be a Guarantor), it being understood such usage shall reduce the amounts that would otherwise available for such Investments. It is understood and agreed that this paragraph does not authorize the release of all or substantially all of the Guarantors under the Guarantees or the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Security Documents.
Liability of Guarantors Absolute Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows: (a) this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety; (b) Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between Borrower and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default; (c) the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of Borrower and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of Borrower may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against Borrower or any of such other guarantors and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions; (d) payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith or the applicable Hedge Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against Borrower or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements; and (f) this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents or any Hedge Agreements, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents, any of the Hedge Agreements or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document, such Hedge Agreement or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or any of the Hedge Agreements or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of U.S. Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which Borrower may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
GRANTOR'S RIGHT TO POSSESSION AND TO COLLECT ACCOUNTS Until default and except as otherwise provided below with respect to accounts, Grantor may have possession of the tangible personal property and beneficial use of all the Collateral and may use it in any lawful manner not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related Documents, provided that Grantor's right to possession and beneficial use shall not apply to any Collateral where possession of the Collateral by Lender is required by law to perfect Lender's security interest in such Collateral. Until otherwise notified by Lender, Grantor may collect any of the Collateral consisting of accounts. At any time and even though no Event of Default exists, Lender may exercise its rights to collect the accounts and to notify account debtors to make payments directly to Lender for application to the Indebtedness. If Lender at any time has possession of any Collateral, whether before or after an Event of Default, Lender shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Collateral if Lender takes such action for that purpose as Grantor shall request or as Lender, in Lender's sole discretion, shall deem appropriate under the circumstances, but failure to honor any request by Grantor shall not of itself be deemed to be a failure to exercise reasonable care. Lender shall not be required to take any steps necessary to preserve any rights in the Collateral against prior parties, nor to protect, preserve or maintain any security interest given to secure the Indebtedness.
Communications with Obligors; Grantors Remain Liable (a) The Administrative Agent in its own name or in the name of others may at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default communicate with obligors under the Receivables to verify with them to the Administrative Agent’s satisfaction the existence, amount and terms of any Receivables. (b) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify obligors on the Receivables that the Receivables have been assigned to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. (c) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Receivables to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto) by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any of the obligations of any Grantor under or pursuant to any Receivable (or any agreement giving rise thereto), to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts which may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
Grantors Remain Liable Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.
Grantor’s Covenants Each Grantor covenants and agrees as follows: (a) Such Grantor will keep the Collateral in reasonably good repair, working order and operating condition (normal wear and tear excluded), and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto and, as appropriate and applicable, will otherwise deal with the Collateral in all such ways as are considered customary practice by owners of like property. (b) Such Grantor will not sell, encumber, lease, rent, or otherwise dispose of or transfer any Collateral or right or interest therein, provided that Company may sell, lease, transfer, license or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral consisting of (i) the sale of inventory in the ordinary course of business, (ii) sales of worn-out or obsolete equipment in the ordinary course of business, and (iii) non-exclusive licenses and similar arrangements for the use of the property of Company in the ordinary course of business. (c) Such Grantor shall not create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of its property, except for Permitted Liens. (d) Such Grantor shall (i) carry and maintain insurance at its expense of the types and in the amounts customarily carried by others engaged in substantially the same business as such person and operating in the same geographic area as such person, including, but not limited to, fire, property damage and worker's compensation, such insurance to be in such form as is carried with companies and in amounts satisfactory to Collateral Agent. (e) Such Grantor will promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing in the event of any material damage to the Collateral from any source whatsoever. (f) Such Grantor will not (i) move its principal place of business or any other office listed in Schedule 1-A or (ii) adopt, use or conduct business under any trade name or other corporate or fictitious name not disclosed in Schedule 1-A, except, in each case, upon not less than 30 days prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and such Grantor's prior compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 4 hereof necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent's security interest hereunder. (g) Such Grantor shall not establish any additional Deposit Account or securities account not listed on Schedule 1-B, except upon prior written notice to the Collateral Agent and such Grantor’s compliance with all applicable requirements of Section 4 hereof necessary to perfect the Collateral Agent’s security interest hereunder, including without limitation, delivery of duly executed account control agreements by all necessary parties, in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.
EVENTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES NOT REDUCING OR DISCHARGING GUARANTOR’S OBLIGATIONS Guarantor hereby consents and agrees to each of the following, and agrees that Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by any of the following, and waives any common law, equitable, statutory or other rights (including without limitation rights to notice) which Guarantor might otherwise have as a result of or in connection with any of the following:
GUARANTOR'S UNDERSTANDING WITH RESPECT TO WAIVERS Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor's full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent permitted by law or public policy.
