NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and to induce the Purchasers
to
enter into the Purchase Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated
thereby, each Guarantor hereby agrees with the Purchasers as
follows:
1. Definitions.
Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement
and
used herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Purchase Agreement.
The
words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import
when used in this Guarantee shall refer to this Guarantee as a whole and
not to
any particular provision of this Guarantee, and Section and Schedule references
are to this Guarantee unless otherwise specified. The meanings given to terms
defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural
forms
of such terms. The following terms shall have the following
meanings:
“Guarantee”
means this Subsidiary Guarantee, as the same may be amended, supplemented
or
otherwise modified from time to time.
1
“Obligations”
means, in addition to all other costs and expenses of collection incurred
by
Purchasers in enforcing any of such Obligations and/or this Guarantee, all of the liabilities and
obligations (primary, secondary, direct, contingent, sole, joint or several)
due
or to become due, or that are now or may be hereafter contracted or acquired,
or
owing to, of any Debtor to the Secured Parties, including, without limitation,
all obligations under this
Agreement, the Debentures, this Guarantee
and any other instruments,
agreements or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith
or therewith, in each case, whether now or hereafter existing, voluntary
or
involuntary, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, liquidated or
unliquidated, whether or not jointly owed with others, and whether or not
from
time to time decreased or extinguished and later increased, created or incurred,
and all or any portion of such obligations or liabilities that are paid,
to the
extent all or any part of such payment is avoided or recovered directly or
indirectly from any of the Secured Parties as a preference, fraudulent transfer
or otherwise as such obligations may be amended, supplemented, converted,
extended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the term “Obligations”
shall include, without limitation: (i)
principal of, and interest on the Debentures and the loans extended pursuant
thereto; (ii) any and all other fees, indemnities, costs, obligations and
liabilities of the Debtors from time to time under or in connection with
this
Agreement, the Debentures, the Guarantee and any other instruments, agreements
or other documents executed and/or delivered in connection herewith or
therewith; and (iii) all amounts (including but not limited to post-petition
interest) in respect of the foregoing that would be payable but for the fact
that the obligations to pay such amounts are unenforceable or not allowable
due
to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving
any Debtor.
2. Guarantee.
(a)
Guarantee.
|
(i)
|
The
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably,
guarantee to the Purchasers and their respective successors, indorsees,
transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance
by the Company when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration
or otherwise) of the Obligations.
|
|
(ii)
|
Anything
herein or in any other Transaction Document to the contrary
notwithstanding, the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder
and
under the other Transaction Documents shall in no event exceed
the amount
which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal
and
state laws, including laws relating to the insolvency of debtors,
fraudulent conveyance or transfer or laws affecting the rights
of
creditors generally (after giving effect to the right of contribution
established in Section 2(b)).
|
|
(iii)
|
Each
Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from
time to
time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2 or
affecting
the rights and remedies of the Purchasers
hereunder.
|
2
|
(iv)
|
The
guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall remain in full force
and
effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor
under the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall have been
satisfied
by payment in full.
|
|
(v)
|
No
payment made by the Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor
or
any other Person or received or collected by the Purchasers from
the
Company, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other
Person by
virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation
or
application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or
in payment
of the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or
otherwise
affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall,
notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by
such
Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any payment received
or
collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain
liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such
Guarantor
hereunder until the Obligations are paid in
full.
|
|
(vi)
|
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to any
defaulted
non-monetary Obligations the specific performance of which by the
Guarantors is not reasonably possible (e.g. the issuance of the
Company's
Common Stock), the Guarantors shall only be liable for making the
Purchasers whole on a monetary basis for the Company's failure
to perform
such Obligations in accordance with the Transaction
Documents.
|
(b) Right
of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a
Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment
made
hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution
from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its
proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor's right of contribution
shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2(c). The provisions
of
this Section 2(b) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities
of
any Guarantor to the Purchasers, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to
the
Purchasers for the full amount guaranteed by such Guarantor
hereunder.
3
(c) No
Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor
hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any Guarantor by the
Purchasers, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the
rights
of the Purchasers against the Company or any other Guarantor or any collateral
security or guarantee or right of offset held by the Purchasers for the payment
of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any
contribution or reimbursement from the Company or any other Guarantor in
respect
of payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to
the
Purchasers by the Company on account of the Obligations are paid in full.
If any
amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights
at
any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such
amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Purchasers, segregated
from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by
such
Guarantor, be turned over to the Purchasers in the exact form received by
such
Guarantor (duly indorsed by such Guarantor to the Purchasers, if required),
to
be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such
order
as the Purchasers may determine.
(d) Amendments,
Etc. With Respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated
hereunder notwithstanding that, without any reservation of rights against
any
Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand
for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Purchasers may be rescinded
by
the Purchasers and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations,
or the
liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral
security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may,
from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified,
accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Purchasers,
and
the Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and any other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended,
modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Purchasers
may
deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security, guarantee
or
right of offset at any time held by the Purchasers for the payment of the
Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. The
Purchasers shall have no obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure
any
Lien at any time held by them as security for the Obligations or for the
guarantee contained in this Section 2 or any property subject
thereto.
4
(e) Guarantee
Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the
creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Obligations and notice
of
or proof of reliance by the Purchasers upon the guarantee contained in this
Section 2 or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2; the
Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created,
contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance
upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2; and all dealings between
the
Company and any of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on
the
other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or
consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each
Guarantor waives to the extent permitted by law diligence, presentment,
protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon
the
Company or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor
understands and agrees that the guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall
be
construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment
without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Purchase Agreement
or any other Transaction Document, any of the Obligations or any other
collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect
thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Purchasers, (b) any
defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance
or fraud or misconduct by Purchasers) which may at any time be available
to or
be asserted by the Company or any other Person against the Purchasers, or
(c)
any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge
of the
Company or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to
constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company for the Obligations,
or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this Section 2, in
bankruptcy or in any other instance. When making any demand hereunder or
otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor,
the
Purchasers may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand
on or
otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as they may have against the Company,
any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security
or
guarantee for the Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto,
and
any failure by the Purchasers to make any such demand, to pursue such other
rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Company, any other
Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security
or
guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the
Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral
security, guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of
any
obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights
and
remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the
Purchasers against any Guarantor. For the purposes hereof, “demand” shall
include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(f) Reinstatement.
The guarantee contained in this Section 2 shall continue to be effective,
or be
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof,
of
any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by
the Purchasers upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation
or
reorganization of the Company or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of
the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Company or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its
property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been
made.
(g) Payments.
Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to
the
Purchasers without set-off or counterclaim in U.S. dollars at the address
set
forth or referred to in the Purchase Agreement.
5
3. Representations
and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes the following representations
and warranties to Purchasers as of the date hereof:
(a) Organization
and Qualification. The Guarantor is a corporation, duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the applicable
jurisdiction set forth on Schedule 1, with the requisite corporate power
and
authority to own and use its properties and assets and to carry on its business
as currently conducted. The Guarantor has no subsidiaries other than those
identified as such on the Disclosure Schedules to the Purchase Agreement.
The
Guarantor is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted
or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where
the
failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, could
not,
individually or in the aggregate, (x) adversely affect the legality, validity
or
enforceability of any of this Guaranty in any material respect, (y) have
a
material adverse effect on the results of operations, assets, prospects,
or
financial condition of the Guarantor or (z) adversely impair in any material
respect the Guarantor's ability to perform fully on a timely basis its
obligations under this Guaranty (a “Material Adverse
Effect”).
(b) Authorization;
Enforcement. The Guarantor has the requisite corporate power and
authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated by
this
Guaranty, and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder. The execution
and delivery of this Guaranty by the Guarantor and the consummation by it
of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action on the part of the Guarantor. This Guaranty has been duly
executed and delivered by the Guarantor and constitutes the valid and binding
obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance
with
its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws
relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditors' rights
and
remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
(c) No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty by the
Guarantor and the consummation by the Guarantor of the transactions contemplated
thereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of its
Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws or (ii) conflict with, constitute
a
default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to
which
the Guarantor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule,
regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any
court or governmental authority to which the Guarantor is subject (including
Federal and state securities laws and regulations), or by which any material
property or asset of the Guarantor is bound or affected, except in the case
of
each of clauses (ii) and (iii), such conflicts, defaults, terminations,
amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as could not,
individually or in the aggregate, have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.
The business of the Guarantor is not being conducted in violation of any
law,
ordinance or regulation of any governmental authority, except for violations
which, individually or in the aggregate, do not have a Material Adverse
Effect.
6
(d) Consents
and Approvals. The Guarantor is not required to obtain any consent, waiver,
authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any court
or
other federal, state, local, foreign or other governmental authority or other
person in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the
Guarantor of this Guaranty.
(e) Purchase
Agreement. The representations and warranties of the Company set forth in
the Purchase Agreement as they relate to such Guarantor, each of which is
hereby
incorporated herein by reference, are true and correct as of each time such
representations are deemed to be made pursuant to such Purchase Agreement,
and
the Purchasers shall be entitled to rely on each of them as if they were
fully
set forth herein, provided that each reference in each such representation
and
warranty to the Company's knowledge shall, for the purposes of this Section
3,
be deemed to be a reference to such Guarantor's knowledge.
(f) Foreign
Law. Each Guarantor has consulted with appropriate foreign legal
counsel with respect to any of the above representations for which non-U.S.
law
is applicable. Such foreign counsel have advised each applicable Guarantor
that
such counsel knows of no reason why any of the above representations would
not
be true and accurate. Such foreign counsel were provided with copies of this
Subsidiary Guarantee and the Transaction Documents prior to rendering their
advice.
4. Covenants.
(a) Each
Guarantor covenants and agrees with the Purchasers that, from and after the
date
of this Guarantee until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, such
Guarantor shall take, and/or shall refrain from taking, as the case may be,
each
commercially reasonable action that is necessary to be taken or not taken,
as
the case may be, so that no Event of Default is caused by the failure to
take
such action or to refrain from taking such action by such
Guarantor.
(b) So
long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, unless Purchasers holding
at
least 85% of the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Debentures
shall otherwise consent in writing, each Guarantor will not directly or
indirectly on or after the date of this Guarantee:
i. enter
into, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind, including
but
not limited to, a guarantee, on or with respect to any of its
property or assets now
owned or hereafter acquired or any interest therein or any income or profits
therefrom;
7
ii. enter
into, create, incur, assume or
suffer to exist any liens of any kind, on or with respect to any of its property
or assets now owned or hereafter acquired or any
interest therein or
any income or profits
therefrom;
iii. amend
its certificate of incorporation,
bylaws or other charter documents so as to adversely affect any rights of
the
Holder
hereunder;
iv. repay,
repurchase or offer to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire more than a
de
minimis number of shares of its securities or debt obligations;
v.
pay cash dividends on any equity securities of the
Company;
vi. enter
into any transaction with any Affiliate of the Guarantor which would be required
to be disclosed in any public filing of the Company with the Commission,
unless
such transaction is made on an arm’s-length basis and expressly approved by a
majority of the disinterested directors of the Company (even if less than
a
quorum otherwise required for board approval); or
vii. enter
into any agreement with respect to any of the foregoing.
5. Miscellaneous.
(a) Amendments
in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived,
amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in writing by the
Purchasers.
(b) Notices.
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Purchasers or any Guarantor
hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in the Purchase
Agreement, provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any
Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set
forth
on Schedule 5(b).
8
(c) No
Waiver By Course Of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. The Purchasers shall not
by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 5(a)), delay,
indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy
hereunder or to have acquiesced in any default under the Transaction Documents
or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising,
on the
part of the Purchasers, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate
as
a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Purchasers of any
right
or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to
any
right or remedy which the Purchasers would otherwise have on any future
occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be
exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights
or
remedies provided by law.
(d) Enforcement
Expenses; Indemnification.
|
(i)
|
Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Purchasers for, all its
costs
and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under
the
guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving
any
rights under this Guarantee and the other Transaction Documents
to which
such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the
Purchasers.
|
|
(ii)
|
Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from,
any and
all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in
paying,
any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable
or
determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions
contemplated by this Guarantee.
|
|
(iii)
|
Each
Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Purchasers harmless from,
any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind
or nature
whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement,
performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent
the Company
would be required to do so pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement.
|
|
(iv)
|
The
agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations
and
all other amounts payable under the Purchase Agreement and the
other
Transaction Documents.
|
(e)
Successor and Assigns. This Guarantee
shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall
inure to the benefit of the Purchasers and their respective successors and
assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any
of its
rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent
of
the Purchasers.
9
(f) Set-Off.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Purchasers at any time and
from
time to time while an Event of Default under any of the Transaction Documents
shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to such Guarantor or
any
other Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor,
to
set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits, credits, indebtedness
or
claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute
or
contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Purchasers
to
or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor, or any part thereof in
such
amounts as the Purchasers may elect, against and on account of the obligations
and liabilities of such Guarantor to the Purchasers hereunder and claims
of
every nature and description of the Purchasers against such Guarantor, in
any
currency, whether arising hereunder, under the Purchase Agreement, any other
Transaction Document or otherwise, as the Purchasers may elect, whether or
not
the Purchasers have made any demand for payment and although such obligations,
liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Purchasers shall
notify such Guarantor promptly of any such set-off and the application made
by
the Purchasers of the proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give
such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The
rights
of the Purchasers under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the
Purchasers may have.
(g) Counterparts.
This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee
on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of
said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.
(h) Severability.
Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent
of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision
in any
other jurisdiction.

Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken
into
consideration in the interpretation hereof.

Documents represent the agreement of the Guarantors and the Purchasers with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises,
undertakings, representations or warranties by the Purchasers relative to
subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to
herein
or in the other Transaction Documents.

(k) Governing

agrees
that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be
effected
