The Purchasers named in the Purchaser Schedules hereto
c/o NYL Investors LLC
00 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000-0000
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned, Xxxxxx, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Matson”) (together with any successor thereto that becomes a party hereto pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:
1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.
The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.92% Senior Notes due 2045 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, the “Notes”). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B. References to a “Schedule” are references to a Schedule attached to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. References to a “Section” are references to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.
2. SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; CLOSING.
Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for below, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.
The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Winston & Xxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on a Business Day selected by the Company, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ notice to the Purchasers, between September 1, 2015 and September 30, 2015. At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $1,000,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the
Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date of the Closing (herein called the “Closing Date”) for credit to the account or accounts as shall be specified in a letter on the Company’s letterhead, in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, delivered from the Company to the Purchasers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction or such failure by the Company to tender such Notes.
3. CONDITIONS OF CLOSING. Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:
3A. Certain Documents. Each Purchaser shall have received the following, each dated the Closing Date (unless otherwise specified):
(i) the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser;
(ii) the Multiparty Guaranty, made by Xxxxxx Navigation and any other Subsidiaries of the Company which are guarantors under the Bank Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date in favor of the holders of the Notes and in the form of Exhibit C-1 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Multiparty Guaranty”);
(iii) the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, by and among the Credit Parties and in the form of Exhibit C-2 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indemnity and Contribution Agreement”);
(iv) a favorable opinion of Xxxxxx, Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, special counsel to the Credit Parties, and Goodsill, Anderson, Xxxxx & Stifel, special counsel to the Credit Parties, in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser (the Company hereby directs such counsel to deliver such opinion, agrees that the issuance and sale of the Notes will constitute a reconfirmation of such direction, and understands and agrees that each Purchaser receiving such an opinion will and is hereby authorized to rely on such opinion);
(v) a favorable opinion of Winston & Xxxxxx LLP, special counsel to the Purchasers, satisfactory to such Purchaser as to such matters incident to the matters herein contemplated as it may reasonably request;
(vi) certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of each Credit Party authorizing the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party (including, in the case of the Company, the issuance, execution and
delivery of the Notes), and of all documents evidencing other necessary corporate action and governmental approvals, if any, with respect to this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents;
(vii) a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and one other officer of each Credit Party certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of such Person authorized to sign the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party and the other documents to be delivered hereunder;
(viii) certified copies of the articles of incorporation and bylaws (or similar constitutive documents) of each Credit Party;
(ix) a good standing certificate for each Credit Party from the secretary of state of its formation (and, in the case of Xxxxxx Navigation, the State of California), in each case dated as of a recent date and such other evidence of the status of each Credit Party as such Purchaser may reasonably request; and
(x) additional documents or certificates with respect to legal matters or corporate or other proceedings related to the transactions contemplated hereby as may be reasonably requested by such Purchaser.
3B. Representations and Warranties; No Default. The representations and warranties of each Credit Party contained in paragraph 8 hereof and in each other Transaction Document shall be true in all material respects (other than such representations and warranties as are expressly qualified by materiality (including Material Adverse Effect), which representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all respects) on and as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to another date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (other than such representations and warranties as are expressly qualified by materiality (including Material Adverse Effect), which representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all respects) as of such other date); there shall exist on the Closing Date no Event of Default or Default; and each Credit Party shall have delivered to each Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate, dated the Closing Date, to such effects.
3C. Purchase Permitted by Applicable Laws. The purchase of and payment for the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser on the terms and conditions herein provided (including the use of the proceeds of such Notes by the Company) shall not violate any applicable law or governmental regulation (including, without limitation, Section 5 of the Securities Act or Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) and shall not subject such Purchaser to any tax, penalty, liability or other onerous condition under or pursuant to any applicable law or governmental regulation, and such Purchaser shall have received such certificates or other evidence as it may request to establish compliance with this condition. This paragraph 3C is a closing condition and shall not be construed as a tax indemnity.
3D. Material Adverse Change. No material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2014 shall have occurred.
3E. Fees and Expenses. Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 11B hereof, the Company shall have paid the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of special counsel to the Purchasers to the extent invoiced by no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date.
3F. Private Placement Number. A Private Placement Number issued by Standard & Poor’s CUSIP Service Bureau (in cooperation with the SVO) shall have been obtained for the Notes.
3G. Intercreditor Agreement. Each party hereto shall have duly executed and delivered such documents and taken all actions required under the Intercreditor Agreement to cause the Notes and all other obligations of the Credit Parties under the Transaction Documents to constitute “Additional Agreement Obligations”, as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.
4. PREPAYMENTS. The Notes shall be subject to required prepayment as and to the extent provided in paragraph 4A. The Notes shall also be subject to prepayment under the circumstances set forth in paragraph 4B.
4A. Required Prepayments of Notes. Until the Notes shall be paid in full, the Company shall apply to the prepayment thereof, without premium, such principal amounts of the Notes, together with interest thereon to the prepayment dates, as is set forth on Schedule 4A attached hereto, which prepayment dates shall be on the anniversary of the date of the Closing in each year from 2017 through and including 2044. The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due on the maturity date of the Notes, which date shall be the thirtieth anniversary of the date of the Closing.
4B. Optional Prepayment With Yield-Maintenance Amount. The Notes shall be subject to prepayment, in whole at any time or from time to time in part (in integral multiples of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000), at the option of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Note. Any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal in inverse order of their scheduled due dates.
4C. Notice of Optional Prepayment. The Company shall give the holder of each Note to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than five Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, the principal amount of the Notes held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Yield-Maintenance Amount in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such
Yield-Maintenance Amount as of the specified prepayment date. Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or by notice in writing to the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of prepayment of the Notes in whole given by the Company may state that such prepayment notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the holders on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.
4D. Application of Prepayments. In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, the amount to be prepaid shall be applied pro rata to all outstanding Notes (including, in the case of prepayments pursuant to paragraph 4A for the purpose of this paragraph 4D only, all Notes prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B) according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.
4E. Retirement of Notes. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraphs 4A or 4B, or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each other holder of Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions. Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 4D.
5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. From the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any Note or amount due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (other than any contingent indemnification obligation) is outstanding or unpaid, the Company covenants as follows:
5A. Financial Statements. The Company covenants that it will deliver to each Purchaser and each holder of the Notes:

setting forth in each case in comparative form figures for the corresponding period in the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail and certified by an authorized financial officer of the Company, subject only to changes resulting from year-end adjustments;
(ii) as soon as practicable and in any event within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year (or if earlier, 5 days after the date required to be filed with the SEC), consolidated statements of income and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for such year and a consolidated balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the end of such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form corresponding figures from the preceding annual audit, certified by independent public accountants of recognized national standing whose opinion shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and shall not be subject to any “going concern” or like qualification or exception or any qualification or exception as to the scope of such audit, provided that, so long as the Bank Credit Agreement shall have a similar provision, it shall not be a violation of this clause (ii) if the opinion accompanying the financial statements for the last fiscal year prior to the Maturity Date (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement) is subject to a “going concern” or like qualification solely as a result of the impending maturity of the Loans (as defined in the Bank Credit Agreement);
(iii) promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial, proxy and information statements, notices and other reports as are sent to the Company’s public stockholders and copies of all registration statements (without exhibits) and all reports which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission);
(iv) promptly upon receipt thereof, a copy of each other material report submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by independent accountants in connection with any material annual, interim or special audit made by them of the books of the Company or such Subsidiary;
(v) promptly after the furnishing thereof, copies of any certificate, statement or report furnished to any other lender to, or holder of the debt securities of, the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan, credit or similar agreement or instrument and not otherwise required to be furnished to the holders of the Notes pursuant to any other clause of this paragraph 5A; and
(vi) with reasonable promptness, such other financial data as any Purchaser or holder of Notes may reasonably request.
The documents required to be delivered by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Company shall provide each Purchaser or holder of Notes (by electronic mail at such holder’s electronic mail address as set forth on the Purchaser Schedules or at such other electronic mail address as any such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing) with an electronic link to such documents.
Together with each delivery of financial statements required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser or holder of Notes an Officers’ Certificate (a) demonstrating (with computations in reasonable detail) compliance with the covenants in xxxxxxxxxx 0X(0), 0X(0), 0X(0), 6C(4) and 6C(6) (including with respect to each such covenant, where applicable, a reconciliation from GAAP, as reflected in the financial statements then being furnished, to the calculation of such financial covenants, after giving effect to any change in accounting for Capitalized Lease Obligations which has occurred after June 4, 2012), (b) listing each Material Subsidiary (and identifying whether or not such Material Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary) as of the end of the applicable period to which the accompanying financial statements pertain and (c) stating that there exists no Default or Event of Default, or if any Default or Event of Default exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.
The Company also covenants that forthwith upon a Responsible Officer of the Company obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default or Default, it will deliver to each Purchaser or holder of Notes an Officers’ Certificate specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.
5B. Inspection of Property. The Company covenants that it will permit any Person designated by any Significant Holder in writing, at such Significant Holder’s expense, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to examine their books and financial records and to make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and to discuss their affairs, finances and accounts with the principal officers and the Company’s independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as such Significant Holder may reasonably request; provided that a principal financial officer of the Company shall have reasonable prior notice of, and may elect to be present during, discussions with the Company’s independent public accountants.
5C. Information Required by Rule 144A. The Company covenants that it will, upon the request of the Purchaser or holder of any Note, provide such Purchaser or holder, and any qualified institutional buyer designated by such Purchaser or holder, such financial and other information as such Purchaser or holder may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to permit compliance with the information requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of Notes, except at such times as the Company is subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. For the purpose of this paragraph 5C, the term “qualified institutional buyer” shall have the meaning specified in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Note Agreement (as defined below).
RECITALS
X. Xxxxxx, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”), entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Purchasers named therein.
X. Xxxxxx Navigation Company, Inc. (“Xxxxxx Navigation”) and each other undersigned Guarantor is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Company and each of the Guarantors, and the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes will be used, in part, by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with their respective operations. Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated by the Note Agreement.
C. In addition, the Note Agreement requires certain other Persons from time to time to become parties to this Guaranty as additional Guarantors.
GUARANTY
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:
1. GUARANTY.
(a) Unconditional Guaranty. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the complete payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and due performance of all Guaranteed Obligations. The term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations for monetary amounts and otherwise from time to time owing by the Company to the Beneficiaries in connection with the Note Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or non-contingent, and all covenants and duties regarding such amounts, of any kind or nature, present or future, whether or not evidenced by any note, agreement or instrument, arising under or in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents. This term includes all principal, interest (including interest that accrues after the commencement
with respect to the Company of any action under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law under any applicable jurisdiction, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed as a claim in such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, or other prepayment consideration, if any, overdue interest, indemnification payments, fees, expenses, costs or other sums (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) chargeable to the Company under the Note Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.
(b) Reimbursement of Expenses of Guarantors. Each Guarantor also agrees to pay upon demand all costs and expenses of the Beneficiaries (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) incurred by the Beneficiaries in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.
(c) Guaranteed Obligations Unaffected. No payment or payments made by any other Guarantor, guarantor or by any other Person, or received or collected by any of the Beneficiaries from any other Guarantor, guarantor or from any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payments, remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to Section 7 below, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made).
(d) Joint and Several Liability. All Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the expenses required to be reimbursed to the Beneficiaries pursuant to Section 1(b), above, notwithstanding any relationship or contract of co-obligation by or among the Guarantors or their successors and assigns.
(e) Enforcement of Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), that the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the unpaid amount of all Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries making such demand an amount equal to all of the Guaranteed Obligations then due to such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.
(f) Notice of Payment Under Guaranty. Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to any of the Beneficiaries on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify such Beneficiary in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.
2. SUBROGATION.
Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, solely with respect to such payment or payments, any and all rights of subrogation to the rights of the Beneficiaries against the Company and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, any and all rights of contribution, reimbursement, repayment, assignment, indemnification or implied contract or any similar rights against the Company, any endorser or other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (subject to Section 7 below). In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations shall remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall take any action or commence any proceeding against the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any of their respective successors, transferees or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise), to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guaranty to the Beneficiaries.
If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation or other rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash (subject to Section 7 below), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Beneficiaries, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over (i) to each Beneficiary (ratably based on the principal amount outstanding of Notes held by such Beneficiary at such time as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Notes held by all the Beneficiaries at such time) in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to such Beneficiary if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as such Beneficiary may determine, or (ii) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.
3. AMENDMENTS, ETC., WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.
Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding: (a) that any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary, and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued; (b) that any of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents or any other document executed in connection with any of them may be renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part (and each Guarantor expressly waives, any and all of its rights to consent to any of the foregoing actions described in this clause (b) and agrees that no such action, absent such Guarantor’s consent, will result in the exoneration of such Guarantor under applicable law); (c) that any guaranty, collateral or right of setoff at any time held by any Person for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be obtained, sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released; (d) any loss or impairment of any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, repayment, contribution, indemnification or other similar rights of any Guarantor against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the
Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any assignment or other transfer by any holder of the Notes of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Notes; (f) any impossibility of performance, impracticability, frustration of purpose or illegality under the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or any force majeure or act of any governmental authority; or (g) any reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor with or into any other Person. Each Guarantor hereby waives, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which such Guarantor might or could have by reason of any of the foregoing and any other defense or objection which such Guarantor might or could have to the absolute, primary and continuing nature, or the validity, enforceability or amount of this Guaranty (other than any defense based upon the final payment in full in cash and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).
4. GUARANTY ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL.
Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, amendment, modification or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Beneficiary upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty. The Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents and the Guaranteed Obligations in respect of any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted for or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any of the Beneficiaries, on the other, shall likewise conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company, the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or itself with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not of collection) and is a primary obligation of each Guarantor without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty or right of setoff with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Beneficiary, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any one or more of the other Guarantors against any Beneficiary, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or any other Guarantor or guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company, the other Guarantors or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.
When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any of the Guarantors, any Beneficiary may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Guarantor or any other Person under a guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of setoff with respect thereto, and any failure by such Beneficiary to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such other Guarantor or Person or to realize upon any such guaranty or to exercise any such right of setoff, or any release of any such other Guarantor or Person or any such guaranty or right of setoff, shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of each of the Beneficiaries against the Guarantors.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses which are or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code §§2787 through 2855, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure §§580a, 580b, 580d and 726. Accordingly, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Company’s debt is secured by real property. This means, among other things: (A) the Beneficiaries may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the Company; and (B) if the collateral agent with respect thereto forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Company: (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Beneficiaries may collect from such Guarantor even if the collateral agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Company. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because the Company’s debt is secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights of defenses based upon §§580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Further, each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure §580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. The foregoing is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations.
5. DUTY OF GUARANTORS TO STAY INFORMED.

7. TERMINATION; REINSTATEMENT.
This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been satisfied by irrevocable payment in full in cash, upon the occurrence of which this Guaranty shall, subject to the immediately succeeding sentence, terminate. This Guaranty shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time the payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by any Beneficiary in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any other Guarantor or in connection with the application of applicable fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer law, all as though such payments had not been made. A Guarantor shall be automatically released from this Guaranty as set forth in paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement.
8. PAYMENTS.
Each Guarantor hereby agrees that upon demand the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid to each of the Beneficiaries without setoff or counterclaim in U.S. dollars in immediately available funds at the location specified by such Beneficiary pursuant to the Note Agreement.
9. SEVERABILITY.
Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations. If, however, any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation, it shall be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without the remainder thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty being prohibited or invalid.
10. HEADINGS.
Section headings in this Guaranty are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
11. APPLICABLE LAW.
THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE-OF-LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.
12. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand. There are no oral agreements between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand.

14. ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS.
The initial Guarantors hereunder shall be such Domestic Subsidiaries of the Company as are signatories on the date hereof. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional
Persons may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement by executing a counterpart of this Guaranty. Upon delivery of any such executed counterpart, notice of which is hereby waived by the Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor under this Guaranty with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, guaranties, indemnities, liabilities and obligations as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof. Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Beneficiaries not to cause any Person otherwise obligated to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder. This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder. The execution of a counterpart of this Guaranty by any Person shall not require the consent of any other Guarantor and all of the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any Additional Guarantor to this Guaranty.
15. COUNTERPARTS; EFFECTIVENESS.
This Guaranty and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
This Guaranty shall become effective as to each Guarantor upon the execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by such Guarantor (whether or not a counterpart hereof shall have been executed by any other Person) and receipt of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.
Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by any Guarantor by facsimile or electronic pdf shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and shall be considered a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.
16. WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.
No amendment or waiver of any term or provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the Required Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment reducing any payment obligations under this Guaranty shall be effective unless signed by each Beneficiary. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon (a) the dissolution of any Guarantor, or (b) the sale or other disposition of all of the shares of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equity interests of any Guarantor to any Person other than a Credit Party that, in each case, is permitted under the Note Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or any of the rights or obligations of such Guarantor hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of each of the Beneficiaries and its successors, assigns and transferees.
17. ADDRESS FOR NOTICES.
All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent by first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and (i) if to any Purchaser or its nominee, addressed as specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached to the Note Agreement, or at such other address as such Purchaser or its nominee shall have specified to the Company, on behalf of each of the Guarantors, in writing, (ii) if to any other Beneficiary, addressed to such Person at such address as it shall have specified in writing to the Company or, if any such Person shall not have so specified an address, then addressed to such Person in care of the last holder of Notes held by such Person which shall have so specified an address to the Company, and (iii) if to any Guarantor, addressed to such Guarantor care of the Company at 000 00xx Xxxxxx, 0xx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.
18. FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.
No failure or delay on the part of any Beneficiary in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Guaranty are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
19. PERSONAL JURISDICTION.
Each Guarantor irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, the other Transaction Documents or any of the agreements, documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith shall be brought in the courts of the State of New York or the United States of America for the Southern District of New York as the Required Holders may elect, and, by execution and delivery hereof, each Guarantor accepts and consents to, for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that such jurisdiction shall be exclusive, unless waived by the Required Holders in writing, with respect to any action or proceeding brought by such Guarantor against any Beneficiary. Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the full extent permitted by law, any right to stay or to dismiss any action or proceeding brought before said courts on the basis of forum non conveniens.
20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN OR AMONG THEM RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY AND THE LENDER/BORROWER RELATIONSHIP THAT IS BEING ESTABLISHED.
THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS TRANSACTION, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO ENTER INTO THIS BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP, THAT EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL.

Exhibit C-2
[FORM OF]
INDEMNITY, CONTRIBUTION AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT
This INDEMNITY, CONTRIBUTION AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September , 2015, is entered into among each of the Persons identified on the signature pages hereof as Guarantors, and such other Persons who from time to time become parties hereto in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”) and Xxxxxx, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”). The Company and the Guarantors are sometimes referred to herein as the “Credit Parties”. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note Agreement (as defined below).
A. The Company entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Purchasers named therein.
X. Xxxxxx Navigation Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation and each other undersigned Guarantor is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Company and each of the Guarantors, and the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes will be used, in part, by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with their respective operations. Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated by the Note Agreement.
C. In addition, the Note Agreement requires certain other Persons from time to time to become parties to this Agreement as additional Guarantors.
Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Credit Parties are jointly and severally liable for all obligations (the “Obligations”) under such documents. Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has received and expects to receive financial and other support, directly or indirectly, from the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, in the form of existing liquidity provided to the Credit Parties by the extension of credit from the issuance and sale of the Notes); accordingly, each Credit Party has determined that it is in its interest and to its financial benefit to execute and deliver an agreement in the form hereof.
Accordingly, the Credit Parties agree as follows:
SECTION 1. INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION.
A. Definitions. The following defined terms are used in this Section 1:
“Claiming Credit Party” shall mean any Credit Party which has made an Excess Payment, until the amount thereof has been reduced to zero through reimbursements to such Credit Party hereunder or otherwise.
“Excess Payment” shall mean, with respect to any payment made by a Credit Party to any holder of a Note pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Document on or after any Payment Date, the amount by which such payment exceeds the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes received, directly or indirectly, by such Credit Party as of such Payment Date as a result of the credit provided from the issuance and sale of the Notes. For purposes of this definition of “Excess Payment”, the amount of any payment made by a Credit Party shall include an amount equal to the gross proceeds from any sale of such Credit Party’s assets pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which such Credit Party is a party to satisfy all or any part of the Obligations.
“First Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party as to which a Payment Deficiency exists.
“Net Worth” shall mean the difference between the following: (1) the aggregate value of all assets (including contingent assets) of a Credit Party (at fair valuation and present fair saleable value), less (2) the aggregate amount of all liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of that Credit Party. Net Worth shall be measured, in the case of each Credit Party, as of the date of this Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1C and/or 1D below. In the event that the Net Worth of any Credit Party is less than zero, the Net Worth of such Credit Party shall be zero for purposes of any computation pursuant to Section 1C and/or 1D below.
“Payment Date” shall mean the maturity date (or the date of any required prepayment) of any of the Notes or the date of any notice of acceleration delivered by any holder of the Notes to the Company pursuant to paragraph 7A of the Note Agreement with respect to any of the Notes.
“Payment Deficiency” shall mean, with respect to any Credit Party as of any Payment Date, the amount by which the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes received by such Credit Party, directly or indirectly, from the issuance and sale of the Notes as of such Payment Date exceeds the payments made by such Credit Party under the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Documents as of such Payment Date.
“Second Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party having a positive Net Worth after giving effect to payments made or received by that Credit Party pursuant to Section 1B below.
B. First Round Contributions. Each Credit Party agrees (subject to Section 3 hereof) that in the event a payment shall be made by any other Credit Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or assets of any other Credit Party shall be sold pursuant to any mortgage, security agreement or similar instrument or agreement to satisfy any
Obligations at any time on or after a Payment Date, each First Round Contributing Credit Party shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for the reimbursement to the Claiming Credit Parties of an amount equal to the Excess Payment of each Claiming Credit Party; provided that the aggregate amount owed by any First Round Contributing Credit Party shall not exceed the Payment Deficiency of such First Round Contributing Credit Party. The aggregate amounts so reimbursed by all First Round Contributing Credit Parties shall be allocated, among all Claiming Credit Parties, in proportion to the Excess Payment made by each such Claiming Credit Party as compared to the aggregate Excess Payments made by all such Claiming Credit Parties.
C. Second Round Contributions. In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party is not completely reimbursed pursuant to Section 1B above, and such Claiming Credit Party has a negative Net Worth after giving effect to such prior reimbursements (but without giving effect to any other reimbursement right under this Section 1), then there shall be a second contribution round for the benefit of that Claiming Credit Party in accordance with this Section 1C. The Second Round Contributing Credit Parties shall reimburse, to such Claiming Credit Parties, an aggregate amount equal to the total remaining Excess Payments of such Claiming Credit Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount so paid by any Second Round Contributing Credit Party exceed the amount of its Net Worth (before giving effect to the contribution made by such party under this Section 1C). Subject to the foregoing proviso, the amount so contributed by each Second Round Contributing Credit Party shall be equal to such total remaining Excess Payments multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Worth of such Second Round Contributing Credit Party, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Net Worth of all Second Round Contributing Credit Parties. The aggregate amount of such contributions under this Section 1C shall, in turn, be allocated among such Claiming Credit Parties in proportion to the remaining Excess Payment of each.
D. Subsequent Round Contributions. In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party pursuant to Section 1C above is not completely reimbursed pursuant thereto (or pursuant to any subsequent round of contribution payments made under this Section 1D), then there shall be a further contribution round in which each Credit Party which made a contribution in the immediately preceding round and continues to have a positive Net Worth after giving effect thereto shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for its pro rata share of such remaining unreimbursed Excess Payments. The calculation of such further pro rata contribution obligations as between such contributing Credit Parties, and the allocation of such contributions among such Claiming Credit Parties, shall proceed in each such subsequent round in accordance with the respective proration and allocation provisions generally set forth in Section 1C. Nothing in this Section 1 shall affect any Credit Party’s joint and several liability for all Obligations.
SECTION 2. No Waiver of Other Rights. All rights of each Credit Party under Section 1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any and all other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation which such Credit Party may have under applicable law in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty
Guaranty or any other Guaranty, as applicable, but in all events subject to the subordination provisions in Section 3. However, such Credit Party shall be entitled to only a single satisfaction of any claim giving rise to any rights under Section 1 and applicable law in respect of the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party, and any such other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation shall be expressly subordinate (in time and right of payment) to the contractual rights of each Credit Party under Section 1.
SECTION 3. Subordination. Each Credit Party (i) subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing to it from any of the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, under Section 1 and under such Credit Party’s rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation under applicable law) to the final payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, (ii) agrees that it will not accelerate, or make a claim in respect of, such indebtedness or otherwise attempt to enforce any of its rights under Section 1 until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and (iii) agrees that it will not assign or pledge to any Person all or any part of such indebtedness, except for any Liens permitted under paragraph 6C(1) of the Note Agreement. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the holders of the Notes, and shall promptly be paid over (x) to the holders of the Notes for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without affecting in any manner the liability of the other Credit Parties to such Credit Party hereunder, or (y) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, any Credit Party may make payments to any other Credit Party in respect of indebtedness owing by such Credit Party to any such other Credit Party during such times as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
SECTION 4. Waivers.
A. Each of the Credit Parties waives any right to require a Claiming Credit Party to: (i) proceed against any Person, including another Credit Party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held from another Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Claiming Credit Party’s power; or (iv) make any presentments, demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the payments required under this Agreement.
B. Each of the Credit Parties waives any defense arising by reason of: (i) any disability or other defense of, any other Credit Party or any other Person; (ii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of any liability of any Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) any act or omission by a Claiming Credit Party which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of a Credit Party from the obligation to make payments required by this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise; and (iv) any modification of the obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any obligations incurred prior
to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the obligations, or other change in the terms of the obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.
C. Each of the Credit Parties waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by a Claiming Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, might prejudice the Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against another Credit Party.
SECTION 5. Termination. This Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect so long as any part of the Obligations has not been paid in full in cash, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any part of a payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of Notes or any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party, or otherwise. A Guarantor shall be automatically released from this Agreement as set forth in paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement.
SECTION 6. No Waiver. No failure on the part of any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Credit Party preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. No Credit Party shall be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties affected.
SECTION 7. Binding Agreement. Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties is referred to, the reference shall include the successors and assigns of the party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement shall not be amended or terminated, nor any provision herein waived, and no Credit Party may assign or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (and any attempted assignment or delegation shall be void), without in each case the prior written consent of the Required Holders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon (a) the dissolution of any Credit Party, or (b) the sale or other disposition of all of the shares of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equity interests of any Credit Party to any Person other than another Credit Party that, in each case, is permitted under the Note Agreement, such Credit Party shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement. Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the holders from time to time of Notes are intended indirect beneficiaries of the benefits created in favor of each Credit Party by the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement.
SECTION 8. Severability. To the extent that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party shall be required to comply with the provision for so long as the
provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired. The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
SECTION 9. Additional Credit Parties. From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as Guarantors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement. Each such Person shall become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the holders of the Notes, with a copy to the other parties hereto, a counterpart of this Agreement and, thereupon, shall be deemed a Guarantor for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein. The addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party hereunder.
SECTION 10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument. The counterpart signature pages may be detached and assembled to form a single original document. This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Credit Party when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Credit Party shall have been executed and delivered to all parties. In the event that any Person shall become a Credit Party after the date hereof, that Person may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to all parties a counterpart of this Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of the counterpart, such Person shall be a Credit Party for purposes of this Agreement.
SECTION 11. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Obligor represents and warrants that:
4.1 Authority.

5.2 Further Assurances and Authority of Collateral Agent. The Obligor shall from time to time on and after the Granting Date execute, deliver, file and record all such further agreements, instruments, financing statements, notices and other documents (including any information necessary to

The Collateral Agent agrees, at the sole expense of the Obligor, to promptly file UCC amendments and execute and deliver any other documents or instruments reasonably requested by Obligor to evidence the termination of the Security Interest so released.

8. REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE; FORECLOSURES. No right or remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other right or remedy. Each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to every other remedy given hereunder, under any other agreement between the Obligor and the Collateral Agent or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed expedient, separately or concurrently. The giving, taking or enforcement of or execution against any other or additional security, collateral, or guaranty for the payment of the Guaranty Obligations shall not operate to prejudice, waive or affect any rights, powers or remedies hereunder, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to first look to, enforce, exhaust or execute against such other or additional security, or guarantees prior to so acting against the Collateral. The Collateral Agent may foreclose on or execute against the items of Collateral in such order as the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and unfettered discretion, determine.
9. WAIVERS. The failure or delay of the Collateral Agent to insist in any instances upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, remedy or privilege herein or therein conferred, shall not impair or be construed as thereafter waiving any such covenants, remedies, conditions or provisions, but every such term, condition and covenant shall continue and remain in full force and effect; nor shall any waiver of an Event of Default suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type.
10. SEVERABILITY. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
11. NOTICE. All notices, demands and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be by messenger or overnight air courier, facsimile transmission, e-mail or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered (or, if such day is not a business day, the next occurring business day) by messenger or overnight air courier, upon completion of facsimile transmission or e-mail (with, in each case, electronic confirmation of receipt) or two business days after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as any party shall have furnished to the other parties in writing in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.
12. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

14. ADDITIONAL SECURED PARTIES. If any Loan Party enters into any other Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), then, upon written notice by the Obligor to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the holders of the indebtedness under such Note Purchase Agreements shall become additional Secured Parties (each, an “Additional Secured Party”) hereunder. Effective upon such notice, each Additional Secured Party shall have the same rights and obligations as the other Secured Parties hereunder and the term “Secured Parties” as used herein shall be deemed to include each such Additional Secured Party. Notwithstanding Section 15.2, no consent of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall be necessary to add such holders as additional Secured Parties.
15. MISCELLANEOUS. The Obligor agrees that the following shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement:
15.1 Binding on Successors. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligor, the administrators, successors and assigns of the Obligor, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, its successors, transferees and assigns.
