The Guaranty In order to induce the Lenders and Issuing Lenders to enter into this Credit Agreement and any Hedging Agreement Provider to enter into any Hedging Agreement and to extend credit hereunder and thereunder and in recognition of the direct benefits to be received by the Guarantors from the Extensions of Credit hereunder and any Hedging Agreement, each of the Guarantors hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders as follows: the Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally guarantees as primary obligor and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of any and all Guarantied Credit Party Obligations owed to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder and the Hedging Agreement Providers under any Hedging Agreement. If any or all of the Guarantied Credit Party Obligations become due and payable hereunder or under any Hedging Agreement with a Hedging Agreement Provider, each Guarantor unconditionally promises to pay such Guarantied Credit Party Obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Hedging Agreement Providers, or their respective order, or demand, together with any and all reasonable expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or the Hedging Agreement Providers in collecting any of the Guarantied Credit Party Obligations. As used in this Section 9, Guarantied Credit Party Obligations shall include all Guarantied Credit Party Obligations now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such Guarantied Credit Party Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred, whether the Borrower and the Guarantors may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such Guarantied Credit Party Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such Guarantied Credit Party Obligations may be or hereafter become otherwise unenforceable. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Credit Documents (a) to the extent the obligations of a Guarantor shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any Applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the obligations of each such Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount that is permissible under Applicable Law (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Code or its non-U.S. equivalent) and (b) this Guaranty shall not be deemed to cover any Excluded Swap Obligations.
