Obligations Joint and Several Should more than one person or entity sign this Note as a Borrower, the obligations of each such Borrower shall be joint and several.
Unconditional Guaranty The Sponsor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Servicer, each Participant and any transferee of the Participants, the full and prompt payment of all of the Guaranteed Obligations relating to the Loans and all costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) actually incurred or sustained by the Servicer or any Participant in enforcing the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder or the obligations of the Borrowers under the applicable Operative Documents. If any portion of the Loan Indebtedness with respect to any Defaulted Loan is not paid by the date specified herein, Sponsor hereby agrees to and will immediately pay the same in the applicable currency, without resort by Servicer or any Participant to any other person or party. The obligation of the Sponsor to Servicer and the Participants hereunder is primary, absolute and unconditional, except as may be specifically set forth herein. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The obligations of the Sponsor pursuant to this Article X constitute a guarantee that is continuing in nature. The Servicer may, with the consent of the Required Participants and shall, upon the written request of the Required Participants, in the event that the obligations of the Sponsor with respect to a Defaulted Loan have arisen hereunder, request that the Sponsor purchase the Defaulted Loan and related Loan Commitment from the Servicer prior to the acceleration of the Defaulted Loan pursuant to the terms of the applicable Operative Documents for an amount equal to the Loan Indebtedness with respect to such Defaulted Loan, and Sponsor shall promptly upon receipt of such request, purchase such Defaulted Loan and assume the Loan Commitment related thereto, and such purchase by the Sponsor shall be deemed to be a payment hereunder in such amount.
Unconditional Guarantee Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees, as principal obligor and not only as surety (such guarantee to be referred to herein as the “Guarantee”), to each Holder and to the Trustee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities and all other amounts due and payable under this Indenture and the Securities by the Company whether at maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repurchase or otherwise, including, without limitation, interest on the overdue principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities, to the extent lawful, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Section 10.05. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Securities, this Indenture and in this Guarantee. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, this Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees it shall not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations guaranteed hereby. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that, as between each Subsidiary Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Six for the purposes of this Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article Six, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of this Guarantee.

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.
Additional Guarantors (a) Notify the Administrative Agent (i) at the time that any Person becomes a wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary or a non-wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary that is a Material Subsidiary not subject to any restrictions to provide a Guaranty, or (ii) at the time a Domestic Subsidiary acquires or creates a Subsidiary that complies with clauses (a) or (b) of the definition of Material Subsidiary, and, in each case, promptly thereafter (and in any event within sixty days), the Borrower shall or shall cause such Person to the extent such Person is a Domestic Subsidiary of the type identified in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, become a Guarantor (if it is not already a Guarantor) by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a counterpart of the Guaranty or such other document as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate for such purpose, and deliver to the Administrative Agent documents of the types referred to in clauses (iv) and (v) each of Section 4.01(a), favorable opinions of counsel to such Person (which shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability of the documentation referred to in this clause (a) above) and an updated Schedule 5.13, all in form, content and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(b) In addition, the Borrower will not at any time permit either (i) the aggregate revenue generated by all Excluded Subsidiaries that are wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries to exceed an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the consolidated aggregate revenues generated by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the Reference Period most recently ended or (ii) the aggregate book value of the aggregate assets of all Excluded Subsidiaries that are wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries to exceed ten percent (10%) of the then current book value of all assets of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. The Borrower shall require certain Excluded Subsidiaries that are wholly owned Domestic Subsidiaries to become Guarantors hereunder to the extent necessary to comply at all times with the preceding sentence and such Domestic Subsidiary shall thereafter remain a Guarantor hereunder. An Excluded Subsidiary that shall have become a Guarantor shall at all times thereafter cease to be treated as an Excluded Subsidiary for purposes of the calculations set forth in the first sentence hereof.
Joint and Several Liability Each Borrower agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to Agent and Lenders the prompt payment and performance of, all Obligations and all agreements under the Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that its guaranty obligations hereunder constitute a continuing guaranty of payment and not of collection, that such obligations shall not be discharged until Full Payment of the Obligations, and that such obligations are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of (a) the genuineness, validity, regularity, enforceability, subordination or any future modification of, or change in, any Obligations or Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement to which any Obligor is or may become a party or be bound; (b) the absence of any action to enforce this Agreement (including this Section) or any other Loan Document, or any waiver, consent or indulgence of any kind by Agent or any Lender with respect thereto; (c) the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect a Lien or to preserve rights against, any security or guaranty for the Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by Agent or any Lender in respect thereof (including the release of any security or guaranty); (d) the insolvency of any Obligor; (e) any election by Agent or any Lender in an Insolvency Proceeding for the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (f) any borrowing or grant of a Lien by any other Borrower, as debtor-in-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; (g) the disallowance of any claims of Agent or any Lender against any Obligor for the repayment of any Obligations under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise; or (h) any other action or circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, except Full Payment of all Obligations.
Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers (a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.
(b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety, but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrower with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.
(c) If and to the extent that either of the Borrowers shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Borrower will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation. Each Borrower further agrees that it shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the other Borrower for amounts so paid under this Credit Agreement until such time as the Lenders have been paid in full and all Commitments under this Credit Agreement have been terminated.
(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.4 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to the extent permitted by law, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability and of all extensions of credit to the Borrowers by the Lenders, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any presentment or demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under or in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Credit Agreement and the benefit of any laws that exonerate or limit the liability of co-borrowers or sureties and any defenses provided by those laws. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any default by either Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of any of the obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of either Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this Section 2.4, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.4 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to either Borrower or a Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of either Borrower or any of the Lenders.
(f) The provisions of this Section 2.4 are made for the benefit of the Lenders and their successors and assigns, and may be enforced by them from time to time against either of the Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of the Lenders first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against the other Borrower or to exhaust any remedies available to it against the other Borrower or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations hereunder or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.4 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of either of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.4 will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Credit Documents, to the extent the obligations of either Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of such Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code).
