(a)Each of the Company, Alexander & Xxxxxxx, LLC, Series R, Alexander & Xxxxxxx, LLC, Series T, Alexander & Xxxxxxx, LLC, Series M, and each LLC Series which hereafter may execute and deliver a Series Joinder Agreement pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 5G(ii) (collectively, the "Co-Obligors") is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and in respect of the Notes in consideration of the financial accommodations provided and to be provided by the holders of the Notes, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each of the Co-Obligors and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the other Co-Obligors to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of them.
(b)Each of the Co-Obligors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Co-Obligors with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto
that all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Co-Obligors without preferences or distinction among them. As used in this
paragraph 12S, the term "Obligations" shall mean all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations, for monetary amounts or otherwise, from time to time owing by any of the Co Obligors to the holders of the Notes or to be performed by any of the Co-Obligors in connection with this 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 this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents (it being understood that this term includes all principal, interest (including interest that accrues after the commencement by or against any of the Co-Obligors of any action under bankruptcy, reorganization, compromise, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law, whether now or hereafter in effect), the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, premium or other prepayment consideration, fees, expenses, costs or other sums (including all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) chargeable to the Co-Obligors under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents).
(c)If and to the extent that a Co-Obligor shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations hereunder as and when due or to perform any of such Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event, the other Co-Obligors will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
(d)The obligations of each Co-Obligor under this paragraph 12S constitute full recourse obligations of such Co-Obligor, enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement as against any other Co-Obligor or any other circumstances whatsoever that would impair the rights of any holder of a Note as against any other Co-Obligor.
(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Co-Obligor hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by any holder of a Note under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document. Each Co-Obligor hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the holders of the Notes at any time or times in respect of any default by any Co-Obligor in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the holders of the Notes in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Co-Obligor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Co-Obligor assents to any other action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the holders of the Notes, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder which might, but for the provisions of this paragraph 12S, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving such Co-Obligor, in whole or in part, from any of its obligations under this paragraph 12S, it being the intention of each Co-Obligor that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied, the obligations of such Co-Obligor under this paragraph 12S shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The obligations of each Co-Obligor under this paragraph 12S shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Co-Obligor or the holders of the Notes. The joint and several liability of the Co-Obligors hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any Co-Obligor or the holders of the Notes.
(f) The provisions of this paragraph 12S are made for the benefit of the Purchasers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns, and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the Co-Obligors as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any holder of a Note first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any other Co-Obligor or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any other Co-Obligor or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other remedy. The provisions of this paragraph 12S shall remain in effect until all the Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied. If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the holders of the Notes upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the Co-Obligors, or otherwise, the provisions of this paragraph 12S will forthwith be reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.
(g) Each Co-Obligor hereby agrees that, to the extent that a Co-Obligor shall have paid an amount hereunder to any holder of a Note that is greater than the net value of the benefits received, directly or indirectly, by such paying Co-Obligor as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes, such paying Co-Obligor shall be entitled to contribution from each other Co-Obligor that has not paid its proportionate share, based on benefits received as a result of the issuance and sale of the Notes. Any amount payable as a contribution under this paragraph 12S(g) shall be deter 01ined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is mad e by the Co-Obligor seeking contribution, and each of the Co-Obligor acknowledges that the tight to contribution hereunder shall constitute an asset of such Co-Obligor to which such contribution is owed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph 12S(g) shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Co-Obligor to the holders of the Notes hereunder or under any other Transaction Document, and each Co-Obligor shall remain liable for the full payment and performance of the Obligations. Any indebtedness or other obligations of the other CoObligors now or hereafter held by or owing to any Co-Obligor is here by subordinated in time and right of payment to all indebtedness or other obligations of the other Co-Oblige r o wed during the continuation of an Event of Default to any or all of the holders of the Notes under the Notes, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document."
