Nature and Extent of Each Borrowers Liability (a) Each Borrower shall be liable for, on a joint and several basis, and hereby guarantees the timely payment by all other Borrowers, of all Loans, fees and any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders, regardless of which Borrower actually may have received the proceeds of any Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the amount of such Loans received or the manner in which the Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts for such Loans or other extensions of credit on its books and records. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Loans to any Borrower and any other extensions of credit hereunder inure to the mutual benefit of all Borrowers and that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the joint and several liability of the Borrowers in extending the Loans and other financial accommodations hereunder. Each Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that upon default in the payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of any principal of, or interest owed on, any of the Loans or other Obligations, such Borrower shall promptly pay the same, without notice or demand. (b) Each Borrower’s joint and several liability hereunder with respect to, and guaranty of, the Loans and other Obligations shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, be unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity, enforceability, avoidance or subordination of any part of the Obligations or of any promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Obligations, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect any of the Obligations from any other Borrower or any Collateral or other security therefor, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same, (iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing or securing the payment of any of the Obligations, or any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other agreement now or hereafter executed by any other Borrower and delivered to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (iv) the failure by the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect or maintain the perfected status of its security interest in or Lien upon, or to preserve its rights to, any of the Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations or the Administrative Agent’s release of any Collateral or of its Liens upon any Collateral, (v) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election, in any proceeding instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any other Borrower as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, (vii) the release or compromise, in whole or in part, of the liability of any Borrower for the payment of any of the Obligations, (viii) any amendment or modification of any of the Loan Documents or any waiver of a Default or Event of Default, (ix) any increase in the amount of the Obligations beyond any limits imposed herein or in the amount of any interest, fees or other charges payable in connection therewith, or any decrease in the same, (x) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claims against any other Borrower for the repayment of any of the Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (xi) any other circumstance that might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Borrower. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may proceed directly and it once, without notice to any Borrower, against any or all of the Borrowers to collect and recover all or any part of the Obligations, without first proceeding against any other Borrower or against any Collateral or other security for the payment or performance of any of the Obligations, and each Borrower waives any provision under applicable Laws that might otherwise require the Administrative Agent to pursue or exhaust its remedies against any Collateral or any other Borrower before pursing another Borrower. Each Borrower consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Borrower or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. (c) No payment or payments made by a Borrower or received or collected by the Administrative Agent from a Borrower or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff 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 Borrower under this Agreement, each of which shall remain jointly and severally liable for the payment and performance of all Loans and other Obligations until full payment of all Loans, fees and any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders. (d) Each Borrower hereby subordinates any claims, including any right of payment, subrogation, contribution and indemnity, that it may have from or against any other Borrower, and any successor or assign of any other Borrower, including any trustee, trustee in bankruptcy receiver or debtor-in-possession, howsoever arising, due or owing or whether heretofore, now or hereafter existing, to the payment in full of all Loans, fees and any other Obligations owing to or for the account of any one or more Lenders.
