1. Guaranty. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby jointly and severally, unconditionally, absolutely, continually and irrevocably guarantees to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties the payment and performance in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities (as defined below). For all purposes of this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, “Guaranteed Liabilities” means: (a) each Borrower’s prompt payment in full, when due or declared due and at all such times, of all Obligations and all other amounts pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and all other Loan Documents heretofore, now or at any time or times hereafter owing, arising, due or payable from any Borrower to any one or more of the Secured Parties, including principal, interest, premiums and fees (including all fees and expenses of counsel required to be paid under the Credit Agreement, the Notes or another Loan Document (collectively, “Attorneys’ Costs”)); (b) each Borrower’s prompt, full and faithful performance, observance and discharge of each and every agreement, undertaking, covenant and provision to be performed, observed or discharged by such Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the Notes and all other Loan Documents; and (c) the prompt payment in full by each Loan Party, when due or declared due and at all such times, of obligations and liabilities now or hereafter arising under the Secured Cash Management Agreements, Secured Hedge Agreements and Secured Permitted Standalone Letters of Credit; provided that the Guaranteed Liability of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall exclude any Excluded Swap Obligations with respect to such Subsidiary Guarantor. The Subsidiary Guarantors’ obligations to the Secured Parties under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations” and, with respect to each Subsidiary Guarantor individually, the “Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Subsidiary Guarantor individually with respect to its Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it is jointly and severally, directly and primarily liable (subject to the limitation in the immediately preceding sentence) for the Subsidiary Guaranteed Liabilities.
The Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations are secured by various Collateral Documents referred to in the Credit Agreement, including without limitation the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Mortgages.
2. Payment. If any Loan Party shall default in payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, whether principal, interest, premium, fees (including, but not limited to, Attorneys’ Costs), or otherwise, when and as the same shall become due, and after expiration of any applicable grace period, whether according to the terms of the Credit Agreement, by acceleration, or otherwise, or upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement, then any or all of the Subsidiary Guarantors will, upon demand thereof by the Administrative Agent, (i) fully pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject to any restriction on each Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations set forth in Section 1 hereof, an amount equal to all the Guaranteed Liabilities then due and owing or declared or deemed to be due and owing, including for this purpose, in the event of any Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) of the Credit Agreement (and irrespective of the applicability of any restriction on acceleration or other action as against any other Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Laws), the entire outstanding or accrued amount of all Obligations or (ii) perform such Guaranteed Liabilities, as applicable. For purposes of this Section 2, the Subsidiary Guarantors acknowledge and agree that “Guaranteed Liabilities” shall be deemed to include any amount (whether principal, interest, premium or fees) which would have been accelerated in accordance with Section 8.02 of the Credit Agreement but for the fact that such acceleration could be unenforceable or not allowable under any Debtor Relief Law.
3. Absolute Rights and Obligations. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement shall be joint and several, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defense to its obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and all Collateral Documents to which it is a party by reason of:
(a) any lack of legality, validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, of any of the Notes, of any other Loan Document, or of any other agreement or instrument creating, providing security for, or otherwise relating to any of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations, any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, or any other guaranty of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities (the Loan Documents and all such other agreements and instruments being collectively referred to as the “Related Agreements”);
(b) any action taken under any of the Related Agreements, any exercise of any right or power therein conferred, any failure or omission to enforce any right conferred thereby, or any waiver of any covenant or condition therein provided;
(c) any acceleration of the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or of any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(d) any release, exchange, non-perfection, lapse in perfection, disposal, deterioration in value, or impairment of any security for any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, for any of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor, or for any other obligations or liabilities of any Person under any of the Related Agreements;
(e) any dissolution of any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement, or the combination or consolidation of any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement into or with another entity or any transfer or disposition of any assets of any Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Loan Party or any other party to a Related Agreement;
(f) any extension (including without limitation extensions of time for payment), renewal, amendment, restructuring or restatement of, any acceptance of late or partial payments under, or any change in the amount of any borrowings or any credit facilities available under, the Credit Agreement, any of the Notes or any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, in whole or in part;
(g) the existence, addition, modification, termination, reduction or impairment of value, or release of any other guaranty (or security therefor) of the Guaranteed Liabilities (including without limitation the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor and obligations arising under any other guaranty or any other Loan Document now or hereafter in effect);
(h) any waiver of, forbearance or indulgence under, or other consent to any change in or departure from any term or provision contained in the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other Related Agreement, including without limitation any term pertaining to the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Liabilities, any of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or any of the obligations or liabilities of any party to any other Related Agreement;
(i) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Loan Party) which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of such Loan Party, or might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable defense available to, or discharge of, a surety or a guarantor, including without limitation any right to require or claim that resort be had to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or to any collateral in respect of the Guaranteed Liabilities or Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations.
It is the express purpose and intent of the parties hereto that this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations hereunder and under each Subsidiary Guaranty Joinder Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and shall not be discharged except by payment and performance as herein provided.
4. Currency and Funds of Payment. All Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations for payment will be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds, regardless of any law, regulation or decree now or hereafter in effect that might in any manner affect the Guaranteed Liabilities, or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto as against the Company or any other Loan Party, or cause or permit to be invoked any alteration in the time, amount or manner of payment by the Company or any other Loan Party of any or all of the Guaranteed Liabilities. If, for the proposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of each Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than that in which such sum is denominated in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, of any sum adjudicated to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Subsidiary Guarantor in the Agreement Currency, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such loss. If the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is greater than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in such currency, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, agrees to return the amount of any excess to such Subsidiary Guarantor (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable law).
5. Events of Default. Without limiting the provisions of Section 2 hereof, in the event that there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, then notwithstanding any collateral or other security or credit support for the Guaranteed Liabilities, at the Administrative Agent’s election and without notice thereof or demand therefor, each of the Guaranteed Liabilities and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations shall immediately be and become due and payable.
6. Subordination. Until this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 22 hereof, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby unconditionally subordinates all present and future debts, liabilities or obligations now or hereafter owing to such Subsidiary Guarantor (a) of any Borrower, to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Liabilities, (b) of every other Subsidiary Guarantor (an “obligated Subsidiary Guarantor”), to the payment in full of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations of such obligated Subsidiary Guarantor, and (c) of each other Person now or hereafter constituting a Loan Party, to the payment in full of the obligations of such Loan Party owing to any Secured Party and arising under the Loan Documents or any Secured Cash Management Agreement or Secured Hedge Agreement. All amounts due under such subordinated debts, liabilities, or obligations shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, be collected and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, paid over forthwith to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties on account of the Guaranteed Liabilities, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations, or such other obligations, as applicable, and, after such request and pending such payment, shall be held by such Subsidiary Guarantor as agent and bailee of the Secured Parties separate and apart from all other funds, property and accounts of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
7. Suits. Each Subsidiary Guarantor from time to time shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, on demand, at the Administrative Agent’s Office or such other address as the Administrative Agent shall give notice of to such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors’ Obligations as they become or are declared due, and in the event such payment is not made forthwith, the Administrative Agent may proceed to suit against any one or more or all of the Subsidiary Guarantors. At the Administrative Agent’s election, one or more and successive or concurrent suits may be brought hereon by the Administrative Agent against any one or more or all of the Subsidiary Guarantors, whether or not suit has been commenced against any Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor, or any other Person and whether or not the Secured Parties have taken or failed to take any other action to collect all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities or have taken or failed to take any actions against any collateral securing payment or performance of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Liabilities, and irrespective of any event, occurrence, or condition described in Section 3 hereof.
8. Set-Off and Waiver. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any right to assert against any Secured Party as a defense, counterclaim, set-off, recoupment or cross claim in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations, any defense (legal or equitable) or other claim which such Subsidiary Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any Borrower or any other Loan Party or any or all of the Secured Parties without waiving any additional defenses, set-offs, counterclaims or other claims otherwise available to such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that each Secured Party shall have a lien for all the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations upon all deposits or deposit accounts, of any kind, or any interest in any deposits or deposit accounts, now or hereafter pledged, mortgaged, transferred or assigned to such Secured Party or otherwise in the possession or control of such Secured Party for any purpose (other than solely for safekeeping) for the account or benefit of such Subsidiary Guarantor, including any balance of any deposit account or of any credit of such Subsidiary Guarantor with the Secured Party, whether now existing or hereafter established, and hereby authorizes each Secured Party from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default at any time or times with or without prior notice to apply such balances or any part thereof to such of the Subsidiary Guarantor’s Obligations to the Secured Parties then due and in such amounts as provided for in the Credit Agreement or otherwise as they may elect.
