Note Guarantees Subject to this Article 10, each of the Note Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally with each other Note Guarantor and with Holdings, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, on a senior unsecured basis (Holdings on an unsecured senior subordinated basis), to each Holder of a Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Issuers hereunder or thereunder, that: (a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Notes, if any, if lawful, and all other Obligations of the Issuers to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder or thereunder whether for payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, on the Notes and all other monetary obligations of the Issuers under this Indenture and the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Note Guarantor, together with Holdings as described in Article 11, shall be jointly and severally, obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Note Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. The Note Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes, the Holdings Guarantee, any Note Guarantee or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuers, Holdings or any Note Guarantor, 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 Note Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuers, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuers, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Note Guarantee, as the case may be, shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture. Each Note Guarantor also agrees to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under this Section 10.01. If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to the Issuers, Holdings, the Note Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Issuers, Holdings or the Note Guarantors, any amount paid either to the Trustee or such Holder and this Note Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Note Guarantor agrees that 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 Note Guarantor further agrees that, as between the Note Guarantors and Holdings, 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 6 for the purposes of this Note 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 declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Note Guarantors for the purpose of this Note Guarantee. The Note Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Note Guarantor or Holdings so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under the Note Guarantees. Each Note Guarantee will be a continuing guarantee and shall: (1) remain in full force and effect until payment in full of all the guaranteed obligations; (2) subject to Section 10.06(a), be binding upon each such Note Guarantor and its successors; and (3) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Trustee, the Holders and their successors, transferees and assigns. Each Note Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuers, Holdings or any Note Guarantor for liquidation or reorganization, should the Issuers, Holdings or any Note Guarantor become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuers’, Holdings’ or any other Note Guarantor’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes, the Holdings Guarantee or Note Guarantees, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made. In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Notes shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned. In case any provision of any Note Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Note Guarantee issued by any Note Guarantor shall be a general senior unsecured obligation of such Note Guarantor and shall be pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future Senior Pari Passu Indebtedness of such Note Guarantor, if any. Each payment to be made by a Note Guarantor in respect of its Note Guarantee shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.
