Definition of Guaranteed Obligations As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means:
Term of Guaranty This Guaranty shall continue in effect until all the Guaranteed Obligations and all of the obligations of Guarantor to Lender under this Guaranty are fully and finally paid, performed and discharged and are not subject to any bankruptcy preference period or any other disgorgement.
Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor If all of the Equity Interests of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to the extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of each Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations).
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.
No Discharge or Diminishment of Guaranty The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Guaranteed 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 Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

(d) Upon termination of this Guarantee the Security Trustee shall, upon request of the Guarantor, provide to the Guarantor written documentation acknowledging the termination of this Guarantee.
Release of Guaranty The Note Guaranty of each Guarantor will terminate upon:
(i) a sale or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger) of the applicable Guarantor or the sale or disposition of all or substantially all the assets of such Guarantor (in each case other than to the Issuer or a Subsidiary) otherwise permitted by this Indenture; or
(ii) defeasance or discharge of the Notes, as provided in Article 8, subject to those obligations of the applicable Guarantor that shall survive defeasance or discharge. Upon delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the foregoing effect, the Trustee will execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer in writing in order to evidence the release of the applicable Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guaranty.
