Parent Guaranty (a) Parent hereby, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article IX, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees (the “Parent Guaranty”) by way of an independent obligation to Buyer the due and punctual performance of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement to the extent to be performed from or after the closing of the Rite Aid Acquisition when and as the same shall arise and become due and payable in accordance with the terms of and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement (the “Seller Obligations”).
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, following the Rite Aid Closing Buyer shall, prior to bringing any Action against Parent with respect to the Seller Obligations or otherwise seeking any recourse with respect thereto, use commercially reasonable efforts to seek resolution against Seller with respect to the subject matter giving rise to such Action, and provided that Buyer has made such efforts:
(i) Parent waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of the Seller Obligations, any defenses (other than those that may be available to Seller under this Agreement) and notice of or proof of reliance by Buyer upon this Parent Guaranty or acceptance of this Parent Guaranty. The Seller Obligations shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Parent Guaranty. All dealings between Buyer and Seller shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Parent Guaranty. Parent agrees that any notice provided under this Agreement (including any demand for payment or notice of default or non-payment) to Seller shall be deemed to constitute notice to Parent for purposes hereof; and
(ii) this is a guaranty of payment, not merely of collection. If for any reason whatsoever Seller shall fail or be unable to perform or comply with the Seller Obligations, Parent will promptly upon receipt of notice thereof from Buyer forthwith perform the Seller Obligations then obligated.
(c) Parent represents that: (i) Parent has full right, authority and capacity to join in this Agreement and provide the guaranty as set forth in this Section 9.09; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by Parent of this Agreement has been duly authorized, and no other action on the part of Parent is required in connection therewith; and (iii) this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles, including those limiting the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief and other equitable remedies and those providing for equitable defenses.

Debtor and Developer must mutually agree to (a) extend or renew for any period this Agreement (whether or not longer than the original period) or alter any of the Liabilities, (b) release or compromise any Liability of the undersigned hereunder or any Liability of any other party or parties primarily or secondarily liable on any of the Liabilities, or (c) release, compromise or subordinate its title or security interest, or any part thereof, if any, in all or any property now or hereafter securing any of the Liabilities or any obligation hereunder, and permit any substitution or exchange for any such property,

Parent Guarantee (a) Holdings hereby agrees to become a party to the Indenture as a Guarantor and in accordance with the amendments to the terms of the Indenture made in Section 2 of this Supplemental Indenture, to be substituted for STX as “Parent” under the Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee. Holdings shall have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of Parent under the Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee. Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with Article 10 of the Indenture.

(c) Holdings waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to Holdings of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Holdings waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be affected by:
i. the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Holdings or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise;
ii. any extension or renewal of any thereof;
iii. any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement;

vi. except as set forth in Section 10.05 of the Indenture, any change in the ownership of Holdings.
(d) Holdings further agrees that the Parent Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.02 and 10.05 of the Indenture, the obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Indenture, the Notes or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Holdings or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Holdings as a matter of law or equity.
(f) Holdings further agrees that the Parent Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or premium (if any) on or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against Holdings by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or premium (if any) on or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, Holdings hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.
(h) Holdings further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of the Parent Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings for the purposes of Section 10.01 of the Indenture.
(i) Holdings also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under Section 10.01 of the Indenture.
Waiver and Indemnity (a) No omission or delay by Lender in exercising any right or power under this Agreement or any related agreements and documents will impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial exercise of any such right or power will not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, and as to any Borrower no waiver will be valid unless in writing and signed by Lender and then only to the extent specified.
(b) Each Borrower releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lender, and its respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), of and from any claims, demands, liabilities, obligations, judgments, injuries, losses, damages and costs and expenses (including, without limitation, Expenses and reasonable legal fees) of any kind or nature, which at any time may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party, resulting from (i) acts or conduct of a Borrower under, pursuant or related to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) as a result of Lender’s exercise of (or failure to exercise) any of Lender’s rights and remedies hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including (A) any sale or transfer of the Collateral, (B) the preservation, repair, maintenance, preparation for sale or securing of any Collateral, (C) the defense of Lender’s interests in the Collateral (including the defense of claims brought by the Borrowers (or any of them) as a debtor-in-possession or otherwise, any secured or unsecured creditors of the Borrowers (or any of them), or any trustee or receiver in bankruptcy), and (D) rights, remedies or obligations under the Business Associate Agreement; (iii) as a result of any environmental pollution, hazardous material or environmental clean-up and the Borrowers’ off-site disposal practices; (iv) in connection with any regulatory investigation or proceeding by any regulatory authority or agency having jurisdiction over the Borrowers (or any of them); (v) otherwise relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or any action taken (or failure to act) by any Indemnified Party with respect thereto; (vi) any Borrower’s breach, or alleged breach, or violation of any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and (vii) any Borrower’s failure, or alleged failure, to comply with any or all laws, statutes, ordinances, governmental rules, regulations or standards, whether federal, state or local, or court or administrative orders or decrees (including, without limitation, environmental laws, etc.), and all costs, expenses, fines, penalties or other damages resulting therefrom, unless in each case resulting from acts or conduct of Lender constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment in full and satisfaction of the Obligations.
(c) Lender shall not be liable for, and Borrowers hereby agree that Lender’s liability in the event of a breach by Lender of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be limited to Borrowers’ direct damages suffered and shall not extend to, any consequential or incidental damages. In the event Borrowers bring suit against Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, and Lender is found not to be liable, Borrowers shall indemnify and hold Lender harmless from all costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by Lender in connection with such suit.
Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article Ten, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment for distribution under its Subsidiary Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor.
GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY 2.1 The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees and undertakes to the Beneficiary to procure that the Supplier duly and punctually performs all of the Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter due, owing or incurred by the Supplier to the Beneficiary.
2.2 The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes upon demand to pay to the Beneficiary all monies and liabilities which are now or at any time hereafter shall have become payable by the Supplier to the Beneficiary under the Guaranteed Agreement or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.
2.3 If at any time the Supplier shall fail to perform any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Guarantor, as primary obligor, irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to the Beneficiary that, upon first demand by the Beneficiary it shall, at the cost and expense of the Guarantor:
2.3.1 fully, punctually and specifically perform such Guaranteed Obligations as if it were itself a direct and primary obligor to the Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and liable as if the Guaranteed Agreement had been entered into directly by the Guarantor and the Beneficiary; and
2.3.2 fully indemnify and keep the Beneficiary fully indemnified on demand against all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including VAT thereon, and including, without limitation, all court costs and all legal fees on a solicitor and own client basis, together with any disbursements,) of whatever nature which may result or which such Beneficiary may suffer, incur or sustain arising in any way whatsoever out of a failure by the Supplier to perform the Guaranteed Obligations save that, subject to the other provisions of this Deed of Guarantee, this shall not be construed as imposing greater obligations or liabilities on the Guarantor than are purported to be imposed on the Supplier under the Guaranteed Agreement.
2.4 As a separate and independent obligation, the Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to indemnify and keep the Beneficiary indemnified on demand against all losses, damages, costs and expenses (including VAT thereon, and including, without limitation, all legal costs and expenses), of whatever nature, whether arising under statute, contract or at common law, which such Beneficiary may suffer or incur if any obligation guaranteed by the Guarantor is or becomes unenforceable, invalid or illegal as if the obligation guaranteed had not become unenforceable, invalid or illegal provided that the Guarantor's liability shall be no greater than the Supplier's liability would have been if the obligation guaranteed had not become unenforceable, invalid or illegal.
Cross-Guaranty Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower is jointly and severally liable for, and hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders and their respective successors and assigns, the full and prompt payment (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and performance of, all Obligations owed or hereafter owing to Agent and Lenders by each other Borrower. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligation hereunder is a continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, that its obligations under this Section 12 shall not be discharged until payment and performance, in full, of the Obligations has occurred, and that its obligations under this Section 12 shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by,
(a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which any Borrower is or may become a party;
(b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section 12) or any other Loan Document or the waiver or consent by Agent and Lenders with respect to any of the provisions thereof;
(c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its Lien against, any security for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent and Lenders in respect thereof (including the release of any such security);
(d) the insolvency of any Credit Party; or
(e) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor. Each Borrower shall be regarded, and shall be in the same position, as principal debtor with respect to the Obligations guaranteed hereunder.
Subsidiary Guaranty The Subsidiary Guaranty shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding contract and agreement of each Subsidiary Guarantor and such Purchaser shall have received a true, correct and complete copy thereof.
Continuing Guaranty; Assignments under the Credit Agreement This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the Maturity Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration, termination or Cash Collateralization or provision of Credit Support therefor of all Letters of Credit and the expiration or termination of all Secured Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon each Guarantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Loans owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement. Subject to Section 7.04 of the Credit Agreement, no Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties.
