Parallel Debt (a) Without prejudice to the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents and for the purpose of preserving the initial and continuing validity of the security rights granted and to be granted by the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee, an amount equal to and in the same currency of the obligations under the Notes and the Guarantees from time to time due by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Notes and Guarantees, including for the avoidance of doubt, the limitations set out under Section 10.02, shall be owing as a separate and independent joint and several obligation of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee (such payment undertaking and the obligations and liabilities which are the result thereof the “Parallel Debt”).
(b) The Co-Issuers, each Guarantor and the Collateral Trustee acknowledge that (i) for this purpose the Parallel Debt constitutes undertakings, joint and several obligations and liabilities of the Co-Issuers and each Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee under this Indenture and the Security Documents which are separate and independent from, and without prejudice to, the corresponding obligations under the Notes and Guarantees which the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor has to the Holders and (ii) that the Parallel Debt represents the Collateral Trustee’s claims as Collateral Trustee to receive payment of the Parallel Debt; provided that the total amount which may become due under the Parallel Debt shall never exceed the total amount which may become due under the Notes and Guarantees; provided, further, that the Collateral Trustee shall exercise its rights with respect to the Parallel Debt solely in accordance with this Indenture and the Security Documents.
(c) Every payment of monies made by the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor to the Collateral Trustee shall (conditionally upon such payment not subsequently being avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or similar laws of general application) be in satisfaction pro tanto of the covenant by the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor contained in Section 11.13(a); provided that if any such payment as is mentioned above is subsequently avoided or reduced by virtue of any provisions or enactments relating to bankruptcy, liquidation or similar laws of general application the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment from the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor and the Co-Issuers or such Guarantor shall remain liable to perform the relevant obligation and the relevant liability shall be deemed not to have been discharged.
(d) Subject to the provision in paragraph (c) of this Section 11.13:
(i) the total amount due and payable as Parallel Debt under this Section 11.13 shall be decreased to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Collateral Trustee or to the Trustee on behalf of the Holders or any of them to reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or the Collateral Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Holders otherwise receives any amount in payment of the Notes and the Guarantees; and
(ii) to the extent that the Co-Issuers or a Guarantor shall have paid any amounts to the Trustee or to the Collateral Trustee under the Parallel Debt or the Trustee or the Collateral Trustee shall have otherwise received monies in payment of the Parallel Debt, the total amount due and payable under the Notes and the Guarantees shall be decreased as if said amounts were received directly in payment of the Notes and Guarantees.
Covenant to Pay The Chargor must pay or discharge the Secured Liabilities in the manner provided for in the Finance Documents.
Guarantor Covenants Each Guarantor shall take such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to cause such Guarantor to take, and shall refrain from taking such action as the Borrower is required by this Agreement to prohibit such Guarantor from taking.
Covenant to Secure Notes Equally The Company covenants that, if it or any Subsidiary shall create or assume any Lien upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens permitted by the provisions of paragraph 6B(1) (unless the prior written consent to the creation or assumption thereof shall have been obtained pursuant to paragraph 11C), it will make or cause to be made effective provision whereby the Notes will be secured by such Lien equally and ratably with any and all other Debt thereby secured so long as any such other Debt shall be so secured.
Covenant to Guarantee Obligations (a) If at any time on or after the Closing Date, (i) any Subsidiary is or becomes (x) the issuer or co-issuer of, or borrower or guarantor under, any series of U.S. debt securities or any U.S. syndicated credit facility, (y) the guarantor of any series of debt securities or any syndicated credit facilities of Parent or (z) the issuer or co-issuer of, or borrower or guarantor under, any series of debt securities or any syndicated credit facility other than as described in clauses (x) and (y), but only to the extent that, in each case, such Subsidiary is not an Excluded Person or (ii) any Person is or becomes a direct or indirect parent entity of the Company that holds any material assets (other than the Equity Interests of the Company or a parent entity of the Company) or owes any material liabilities, whether by formation, acquisition, redomiciliation or otherwise, Parent shall, at Parent’s expense, as soon as reasonably practicable (and in no event more than 30 days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent shall agree)) following (A) in the case of clause (i)(z) above, a written request from the Administrative Agent therefor and (B) otherwise, such Person becoming issuer, co-issuer, borrower or guarantor or such formation, acquisition or redomiciliation, as applicable, to cause such Person to (i) become a Guarantor by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a Joinder Agreement and (ii) upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent such other customary documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, which in any event will not require the delivery of any documentation other than those that are substantially similar to the applicable documents delivered under Sections 3.01(d), (e), (g) and (h) (and appropriate local counsel opinions substantially similar in scope to those delivered on the Closing Date, if applicable).
(b) At any time after the Closing Date, Parent and the Administrative Agent may agree that any Subsidiary of Parent may guarantee the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder by delivering to such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent such customary documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent including, without limitation, favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary or Parent.
Agreement to Pay; Subordination In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each of the Guarantors hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Security Agent or Administrative Agent (as applicable) to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement. Any right of subrogation of any Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Guarantors and the Borrower, and not against the Secured Parties, and neither the Security Agent, the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation.
Covenant to Guarantee Obligations and Give Security Upon (i) the formation or acquisition by any Loan Party of any new direct or indirect Subsidiary (other than any Excluded Subsidiary), (ii) pursuant to Section 1.09, the addition of any Borrower which was not a Loan Party immediately prior to such addition, (iii) a Subsidiary of any Loan Party ceasing to be an Excluded Subsidiary or (iv) the acquisition by any Loan Party of any asset (including real property) in respect of which the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements have not theretofore been satisfied (any of the foregoing items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv), a “Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event”) the Borrowers shall, at the Borrowers’ expense, cause the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements applicable thereto to be satisfied (x) with respect to (i) any Guaranty Agreement or any supplement thereto, (ii) Liens on Collateral that may be created by the execution and delivery of a customary personal property security or pledge agreement or any supplement thereto, (iii) Liens on Collateral that may under applicable law be perfected by the filing of financing statements under the UCC or by filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the United Stated Copyright Office (or by the making of similar filings in any applicable jurisdiction) and (iv) the perfection of security interests in the capital stock of Holding’s Subsidiaries with respect to which a Lien may be perfected by delivery of certificated securities, within thirty (30) days (as such time may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event and (y) with respect to the creation or perfection of Liens on any other Collateral or any other provision of the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements, within sixty (60) days of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event (or, in the case of clause (h) and (i) (and, to the extent related to such clauses, clause (l) and (m)) of the definition of Collateral and Guaranty Requirements, within ninety (90) days of such Collateral and Guaranty Compliance Event) (as any such time period may be extended by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Subsidiary of Holdings listed on Schedule 6.11 shall be required to satisfy the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements prior to the date that is ninety (90) days after the Third Restatement Date (on which date (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree) the Collateral and Guaranty Requirements shall be required with respect to such Subsidiaries to the same extent otherwise applicable thereto).
Forbearance Fee In consideration of the Lender’s agreements set forth herein, Obligors agree to pay the Lender a non-refundable forbearance fee in the amount of $12,500.00 (the “Forbearance Amendment Fee”). The Forbearance Amendment Fee shall be: (i) fully earned by the Lender as of the Forbearance Amendment and Fifteenth Amendment Effective Date, (ii) retained by the Lender as a fee under all circumstances and shall not be applied in reduction of any other of the Obligations, and (iii) paid to the Lender in good and collected upon the execution of this Agreement.
Continuing Agreement, Transfer of Secured Obligations This Agreement is a continuing agreement and shall (a) subject to Section 5.3, remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred, (b) be binding upon the Parties and their successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Nothing herein is intended, or shall be construed to give, any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Agreement or any Common Collateral. All references to any Grantor shall include any Grantor as debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), the ABL Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party, the New First Lien Collateral Agent and any New First Lien Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or the New First Lien Obligations, as applicable, to any other Person (other than the Company, any Grantor or any Affiliate of the Company or any Grantor and any Subsidiary of the Company or any Grantor), and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the rights and obligations in respect thereof granted to the ABL Collateral Agent, the New First Lien Collateral Agent, any ABL Secured Party or any New First Lien Secured Party, as the case may be, herein or otherwise. The ABL Secured Parties and the New First Lien Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to the other parties hereto, to extend credit and other financial accommodations, lend monies and provide Indebtedness to, or for the benefit of, any Grantor on the faith hereof.
Continuing Obligations of the Grantors Each Grantor shall remain liable to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.
