Future Guarantors (a) If the Parent Guarantor or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then the Parent Guarantor shall cause such newly acquired or created Subsidiary to become a Guarantor (in the event that such Subsidiary provides a guarantee of any other Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor of the type specified under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Indebtedness”), at which time such Subsidiary shall: (1) execute a supplemental indenture in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior basis, all of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes on the terms set forth in this Indenture; (2) execute and deliver to the Security Agent and/or the Intercreditor Agent (as applicable) such amendments or supplements to the Security Documents necessary in order to grant to the Security Agent, for the benefit of the Trustee and the holders of the Notes, a perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens and to the extent permitted under applicable law) in the Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor required to be pledged pursuant to the Security Documents; (3) take such further action and execute and deliver such other documents as otherwise may be reasonably requested by the Trustee, the Security Agent or the Intercreditor Agent to give effect to the foregoing; and (4) deliver to the Trustee, the Security Agent and the Intercreditor Agent an Opinion of Counsel that (i) such supplemental indenture and any other documents required to be delivered have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable Obligations of such Subsidiary and (ii) the Security Documents to which such Subsidiary is a party create a valid perfected Lien on the Collateral covered thereby to the extent permitted under applicable law. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions described in paragraph (a) above may provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) (with respect to any Guarantee created after the date of this Indenture) the release by the holders of the Company’s, the Parent Guarantor’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Debt described in paragraph (a) above, of their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt other than as a result of payment under such guarantee), at a time when: (A) no other Indebtedness of either Company, the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary Guarantor has been guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary; or (B) the holders of all such other Indebtedness that is guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Debt other than as a result of payment under such guarantee); or (2) the release of the Guarantees on the terms and conditions and in the circumstances described in Section 11.08 hereof. (c) Each additional Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to recognize certain defences generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defences affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law. Notwithstanding Section 4.17(a), the Parent Guarantor shall not be obligated to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee the Notes to the extent that such Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary would reasonably be expected to give rise to or result in (i) any liability for the officers, directors or shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) any significant cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect of any Taxes, but excluding any reasonable guarantee or similar fee payable to the Parent Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor) other than reasonable out of pocket expenses.
The Guarantor The Guarantor is hereby made a party to the Indenture.
RECITALS OF THE COMPANY AND THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS The Company has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for the issuance from time to time of its unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (herein called the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as in this Indenture provided. The Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors are members of the same consolidated group of companies. The Subsidiary Guarantors will derive direct and indirect economic benefit from the issuance of the Securities. Accordingly, each Subsidiary Guarantor has duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Indenture to provide for its full, unconditional and joint and several guarantee of the Securities to the extent provided in or pursuant this Indenture. All things necessary to make this Indenture a valid agreement of the Company, in accordance with its terms, have been done.
Guarantors Any time after the Effective Date, Borrower may cause any of its Subsidiaries to guarantee the Obligations of Borrower hereunder by delivering to Administrative Agent an Assumption Agreement to the Guarantee Agreement, in form set forth on Annex 1 to the Guarantee Agreement and executed by such proposed Guarantor. If, at any time following the Effective Date, a Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (including as a result of a redesignation of such Restricted Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary) or ceases to be a Subsidiary, in each case as a result of a transaction not otherwise prohibited hereunder, then such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Obligations shall be automatically released and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement. In addition, if Borrower elects by notice in writing to Administrative Agent to cause such Guarantor to be released from its guarantee of the Obligations, and a Responsible Officer of Borrower certifies in writing that immediately after giving effect to such release, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then immediately upon the delivery of such notice and certification to Administrative Agent such Guarantor’s guarantee of the Obligations shall be automatically released and such Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under the Guarantee Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary and that guarantees any Material Debt may be released from the Guarantee Agreement and its Guarantee Obligation thereunder, including as a result of being designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, unless such Guarantor is simultaneously released from its guarantee of such Material Debt. Administrative Agent shall execute such documents as Borrower shall reasonably request to evidence the release contemplated by this Section 6.10.
Subsidiary Guarantors In the event that (1) any Obligor shall form or acquire any new Domestic Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Asset or Immaterial Subsidiary) or (2) any Excluded Asset or Immaterial Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary shall no longer constitute an “Excluded Asset” or “Immaterial Subsidiary” or any Controlled Foreign Corporation shall no longer constitute a “Controlled Foreign Corporation”, as applicable, pursuant to the definition thereof (in which case such Person shall be deemed to be a “new” Domestic Subsidiary for purposes of this Section 5.08 as of such date), the Borrower will cause, within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as shall be reasonably agreed by the Administrative Agent) following such Person becoming a new Domestic Subsidiary, such new Domestic Subsidiary to become a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and, thereby, an “Obligor”) under a Guarantee Assumption Agreement and to deliver such proof of corporate or other action, incumbency of officers, opinions of counsel (unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent) and other documents as is consistent with those delivered by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.01 upon the Effective Date or as the Administrative Agent shall have reasonably requested. For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower may elect to cause any of its Excluded Assets, Immaterial Subsidiaries or Controlled Foreign Corporations to become an Obligor by causing such Person to become a Subsidiary Guarantor and executing and delivering a Guarantee Assumption Agreement (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent with respect to any Controlled Foreign Corporation, executing and delivering a guarantee and security agreement governed by the laws of the country in which such Subsidiary is located, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, it being understood that a guarantee and security agreement that is substantially in the form of the Guarantee and Security Agreement, other than with respect to modifications to reflect requirements under the laws of the country in which such Subsidiary is located, will be deemed reasonably acceptable) and other deliverables as required for a Subsidiary Guarantor under this Section 5.08(a) (at which point such Person shall be a Subsidiary Guarantor and shall no longer be an Excluded Asset or an Immaterial Subsidiary).
Guarantor In the event that there is a guarantor of this Lease, said guarantor shall have the same obligations as Lessee under this Lease.
Further Agreements of the Company and the Guarantors The Company and each of the Guarantors jointly and severally covenant and agree with each Initial Purchaser that:
Future Subsidiary Guarantors (a) If the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries acquires or creates another Subsidiary after the Issue Date, then the Company shall cause such newly acquired or created Subsidiary to become a Subsidiary Guarantor (in the event that such Subsidiary provides a guarantee of any other Indebtedness of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor of the type specified under clauses (1) or (2) of the definition of “Indebtedness”), at which time such Subsidiary shall: (1) execute a supplemental indenture in the form attached as Exhibit D hereto pursuant to which such Subsidiary shall unconditionally guarantee, on a senior basis, all of the Company’s Obligations under this Indenture and the Notes on the terms set forth in this Indenture; (2) take such further action and execute and deliver such other documents as otherwise may be reasonably requested by the Trustee to give effect to the foregoing; and (3) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that (i) such supplemental indenture and any other documents required to be delivered have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Subsidiary and constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable Obligations of such Subsidiary. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Guarantee of the Notes created pursuant to the provisions described in paragraph (a) above may provide by its terms that it will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon: (1) (with respect to any Guarantee created after the date of this Indenture) the release by the holders of the Company’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Indebtedness described in paragraph (a) above, of their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness other than as a result of payment under such guarantee), at a time when: (A) no other Indebtedness of either the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor has been guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary; or (B) the holders of all such other Indebtedness that is guaranteed by such Restricted Subsidiary also release their guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary (including any deemed release upon payment in full of all obligations under such Indebtedness other than as a result of payment under such guarantee); or (2) the release of the Note Guarantees on the terms and conditions and in the circumstances described in Section 11.08 hereof. (c) Each additional Note Guarantee will be limited as necessary to recognize certain defences generally available to guarantors (including those that relate to fraudulent conveyance or transfer, voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defences affecting the rights of creditors generally) or other considerations under applicable law. Notwithstanding Section 4.17(a) hereof, the Company shall not be obligated to cause such Restricted Subsidiary to Guarantee the Notes to the extent that such Guarantee by such Restricted Subsidiary would reasonably be expected to give rise to or result in (i) any liability for the officers, directors or shareholders of such Restricted Subsidiary or (ii) any significant cost, expense, liability or obligation (including with respect of any Taxes, but excluding any reasonable guarantee or similar fee payable to the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company) other than reasonable out of pocket expenses.
Other Guarantors If any Indebtedness is guaranteed by two or more guarantors, the obligation of the undersigned shall be several and also joint, each with all and also each with any one or more of the others, and may be enforced at the option of the Bank against each severally, any two or more jointly, or some severally and some jointly. The Bank, in its sole discretion, may release any one or more of the guarantors for any consideration which it deems adequate, and may fail or elect not to prove a claim against the estate of any bankrupt, insolvent, incompetent or deceased guarantor; and after that, without notice to any guarantor, the Bank may extend or renew any or all Indebtedness and may permit the Borrower to incur additional Indebtedness, without affecting in any manner the unconditional obligation of the remaining guarantor(s). The undersigned acknowledge(s) that the effectiveness of this Guaranty is not conditioned on any or all of the indebtedness being guaranteed by anyone else.
Release of Subsidiary Guarantors Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, each Subsidiary Guarantee will remain in effect with respect to the respective Subsidiary Guarantor until the entire principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities to which such Subsidiary Guarantee relates shall have been paid in full or otherwise satisfied and discharged in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture and all amounts owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid; provided, however, that if (i) such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable provisions of this Indenture, (ii) either Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance occurs with respect to such Securities pursuant to Article Fifteen or (iii) all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor or all of the Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold (including by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise) by the Company or any Subsidiary in a transaction complying with the requirements of this Indenture, then, in each case of (i), (ii) or (iii), upon delivery by the Company of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Article Thirteen have been complied with, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and discharged of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and under this Article Thirteen without any action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, and the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to acknowledge the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed on the Securities of such series and under this Article Thirteen.
