Liability of Guarantor a. TxDOT may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of a breach by DB Contractor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between TxDOT and DB Contractor with respect to the existence of such a breach. b. Guarantor’s performance of some, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations will in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge Guarantor’s liability for those Guaranteed Obligations that have not been performed. c. TxDOT, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) with respect to the financial obligations of DB Contractor, if and as permitted by the DBC, renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of financial obligations that are Guaranteed Obligations, and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other 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, (iii) request and accept other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment and performance of this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations, (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guarantees of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (v) enforce and apply any security hereafter held by or for the benefit of TxDOT in respect of this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that TxDOT may have against any such security, as TxDOT in its discretion may determine, and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Contract Documents. d. This Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder will be valid and enforceable and will not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than indefeasible performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including without limitation the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not Guarantor will 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 Contract Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to events of default) of the Contract Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto; (iii) TxDOT’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of DB Contractor; or (iv) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims that DB Contractor may allege or assert against TxDOT in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, except as provided in Section 21.
Release of Guarantor (a) In addition to the release provisions set forth in the Indenture, subject to Section 702(d), the Guarantor shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and the Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect, upon the request of the Company (without the consent of the Trustee) if, immediately after giving effect to such release and termination (and, if applicable, any transaction in connection therewith, including any other concurrent release, termination, repayment or discharge of any other guarantee or other Debt of the Guarantor), the Company would be in compliance with Section 504 hereof, including in the event of a sale or other disposition as a result of which the Guarantor would cease to be a Subsidiary. (b) In order to effect the release and termination provided for in Section 702(a), the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that, immediately after giving effect to such release and termination (as well as any concurrent release, termination, repayment or discharge of any other guarantee or other Debt of the Guarantor), the Company will be in compliance with Section 504 hereof. In the event that the release and termination is in connection with a sale or other disposition as a result of which the Guarantor would cease to be a Subsidiary, pro forma effect shall be given to such disposition (including the application of any proceeds therefrom) in determining the Company’s compliance with Section 504 and, accordingly, the amount of Debt subject to the Guarantee and any other Debt of the Guarantor shall be excluded from any calculation thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Indenture or this Supplemental Indenture, no opinion, report or certificate, other than the Officers’ Certificate provided for in this Section 702(b), need be furnished to the Trustee for such release and termination. After its receipt of the aforementioned Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by either the Company or the Guarantor in order to evidence the release of the Guarantor from its obligations under the Guarantee under this Article Seven. (c) No supplemental indenture, amendment or waiver shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Note, release the Guarantor from any of its obligations under Section 701, other than in accordance with the provisions of this Section 702 or the other release provisions set forth in the Indenture, or amend or modify the release provisions of this Section 702. (d) Notwithstanding the release provisions of Section 702(a), the Guarantor shall not be released from its obligations under this Article Seven and the Guarantee will not be terminated if, immediately after such release and termination (and, if applicable, after giving effect to any transaction to occur concurrently therewith), the Guarantor remains a co-obligor with or a guarantor for, as applicable, the obligations of the Company under any Existing Note. SECTION 703. AMALGAMATION, CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, CONVEYANCE, TRANSFER OR LEASE. (a) Unless the Guarantor has been released, or in connection with such transaction will be released, from its obligations under the Guarantee in accordance with the provisions of Section 702 hereof or any other release provision set forth in the Indenture, the Guarantor shall not amalgamate or consolidate with or merge with or into any other Person or convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person by liquidation, winding-up or otherwise (in one transaction or a series of related transactions) unless: (i) immediately after giving effect to such transaction (and treating any Debt which becomes an obligation of the Guarantor or a Subsidiary of the Guarantor in connection with or as a result of such transaction as having been incurred at the time of such transaction), no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) either (x) the Guarantor shall be the continuing Person or (y) the Person (if other than the Guarantor) formed by such amalgamation or consolidation or into which the Guarantor is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety (the “Successor Guarantor”) shall, unless the Successor Guarantor is the Company, (A) be a corporation, company, partnership or trust organized and validly existing under the federal laws of Canada or any Province thereof or the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and (B) expressly assume, by an indenture supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee (provided, however, that the Successor Guarantor shall not be required to execute and deliver such a supplemental indenture in the event of an amalgamation of the Guarantor with one or more other Persons, in which the amalgamation is governed by the laws of Canada or any province thereof, the Successor Guarantor and the Guarantor are, immediately prior to such amalgamation, organized and existing under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and upon the effectiveness of such amalgamation, the Successor Guarantor shall have become or shall continue to be (as the case may be), by operation of law, liable for the observance of all obligations of the Guarantor under the Guarantee); and (iii) the Guarantor, the Company or the Successor Guarantor, as applicable, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction (or series of transactions), such supplemental indenture, comply with this Section 703(a) and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such transaction have been satisfied. (b) Upon any amalgamation, consolidation or merger, or any conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of the properties and assets of the Guarantor substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 703(a), the Successor Guarantor shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Guarantor under this Supplemental Indenture and the Indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Guarantor had been named as the Guarantor herein; and thereafter, except in the case of a lease, the Guarantor shall be released and relieved from all of its obligations under this Article Seven, and the Guarantee shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect.
Limitation of Guaranty Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Requirements of Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and Section 548 of title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 2.3 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.
Execution of Guarantee To further evidence the Guarantee to the Holders, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute a Guarantee substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, to be endorsed on and made a part of each Security ordered to be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 2.01 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Security a Guarantee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of the Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of the Guarantor. Such signature upon the Guarantee may be a manual or facsimile signature of such officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Guarantee, and in case such officer who shall have signed the Guarantee shall cease to be such officer before the Security on which Guarantee is endorsed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, the Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed the Guarantee had not ceased to be such officer of the Guarantor.
DURATION OF GUARANTY This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Obligations incurred, committed, or contracted before receipt by Lender of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor’s written notice of revocation must be delivered to Lender at the address of Lender listed below or such other place as Lender may designate in writing. This Guaranty may be revoked only with respect to the Obligations incurred or contracted by Borrower, or acquired or committed to by Lender after the date on which written notice of revocation is actually received by Lender. No notice of revocation hereof shall be effective as to any Obligations: (a) existing at the date of receipt of such notice; (b) incurred or contracted by Borrower, or acquired or committed to by Lender, prior to receipt of such notice; (c) now existing or hereafter created pursuant to or evidenced by the Loan Agreement or a commitment in existence prior to receipt of such notice under which Borrower is or may become obligated to Lender; or (d) renewals, extensions, consolidations, substitutions, and refinancings of the foregoing. Guarantor waives notice of revocation given by any other guarantor of the Obligations. If Guarantor is an individual, this Guaranty shall bind the estate of Guarantor as to Obligations created both before and after the death or incapacity of Guarantor, regardless of Lender’s actual notice of Guarantor’s death or incapacity. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantor’s executor or administrator or other legal representative may revoke this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have revoked it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor of the Obligations, or termination or revocation of any other guaranty of the Obligations, shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, it shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement if Guarantor revokes, or disputes the validity of or liability under, this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the Obligations covered by this Guaranty, and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that reductions in the amount of the Obligations, even to zero dollars shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty.
Release of Guarantors Notwithstanding anything in Section 9.02(b) to the contrary, any Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder (and its Loan Guaranty shall be automatically released) (a) upon the consummation of any permitted transaction or series of related transactions if as a result thereof such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary (or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary as a result of a single transaction or series of related transactions permitted hereunder; provided, that the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Guaranty if such Subsidiary Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of the type described in clause (a) of the definition thereof shall only be permitted if at the time such Guarantor becomes an Excluded Subsidiary of such type (i) no Event of Default exists, (ii) after giving pro forma effect to such release and the consummation of the transaction that causes such Person to be an Excluded Subsidiary of such type, the Borrower is deemed to have made a new Investment in such Person for purposes of Section 6.06 (as if such Person were then newly acquired) in an amount equal to the portion of the fair market value of the net assets of such Person attributable to the Borrower’s equity interest therein as reasonably estimated by the Borrower and such Investment is permitted pursuant to Section 6.06 (other than Section 6.06(f)) at such time and (iii) a Responsible Officer of the Borrower certifies to the Administrative Agent compliance with preceding clauses (i) and (ii)) and/or (b) upon the occurrence of the Termination Date. In connection with any such release, the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to the relevant Loan Party, at such Loan Party’s expense, all documents that such Loan Party shall reasonably request to evidence termination or release; provided, that upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer certifying that the relevant transaction has been consummated in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 9.22 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents).
Reaffirmation of Guaranties The Credit Parties signatory hereto hereby reaffirm their Guaranties of the Obligations, taking into account the provisions of this Amendment.
Limitation of Guarantee The obligations of each Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under the Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under Federal or state law. Each Guarantor that makes a payment or distribution under a Guarantee shall be entitled to a contribution from each other Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the Adjusted Net Assets of each Guarantor.
Confirmation of Guaranty Each of the Guarantors confirms that they have read and understand the Amendment. In order to induce the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents to enter into the Amendment, each of the Guarantors: (i) consents to the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) ratifies and confirms each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party; (iii) ratifies, agrees and confirms that it has been a Guarantor and a Loan Party at all times since it became a Guarantor and a Loan Party and from and after the date hereof, each Guarantor shall continue to be a Guarantor and a Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, as the same may be amended in connection with the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby; and (iv) hereby ratifies and confirms its obligations under each of the Loan Documents (including all exhibits and schedules thereto), as the same may be amended in connection with the Amendment and the transactions contemplated thereby, by signing below as indicated and hereby acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in any of such Loan Documents is intended to create, nor shall it constitute an interruption, suspension of continuity, satisfaction, discharge of prior duties, novation or termination of the indebtedness, loans, liabilities, expenses, guaranty or obligations of any of the Loan Parties under the Credit Agreement or any other such Loan Document.
Limitation of Guarantor's Liability Each Guarantor and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Note Guarantee of such Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Federal Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law relating to fraudulent transfer or conveyance. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount that will not, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
