unconditionally and irrevocably
(a) guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether
at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration,
demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower under the
Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents to which it is
a party and all Obligations by each other Obligor under the Loan
Documents to which it is a party now or hereafter existing, whether for
principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such
amounts which 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. ss.362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of
the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. ss.502(b) and ss.506(b)),
and
(b) indemnifies and holds harmless each Secured Party and each
holder of a Note for any and all costs and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees and expenses) incurred by such Secured Party
or such holder, as the case may be, in enforcing any rights under this
Guaranty;
This Guaranty constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection,
and the Guarantor specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required
that any Secured Party or any holder of any Note exercise any right, assert any
claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrower or any
other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder.
SECTION 2.2. Acceleration of Guaranty. The Guarantor agrees that, in
the event of the dissolution or insolvency of the Borrower, any other Obligor or
the Guarantor, or the inability or failure of the Borrower, any other Obligor or
the Guarantor to pay debts as they become due, or an assignment by the Borrower,
any other Obligor or the Guarantor for the benefit of creditors, or the
commencement of any case or proceeding in respect of the Borrower, any other
Obligor or the Guarantor under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, and
if such event shall occur at a time when any of the Obligations of the Borrower
and
-3-
each other Obligor may not then be due and payable, the Guarantor agrees that it
will pay to the Lenders forthwith the full amount which would be payable
hereunder by the Guarantor if all such Obligations were then due and payable.
SECTION 2.3. Guaranty Absolute, etc. This Guaranty shall in all
respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of
payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the
Borrower and each other Obligor have been paid in full in cash, all obligations
of the Guarantor hereunder shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of
Credit have been terminated or expired and all Commitments shall have
terminated. The Guarantor guarantees that the Obligations of the Borrower and
each other Obligor will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the
Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document under which they arise, regardless
of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Secured Party or any holder of
any Note with respect thereto. The liability of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:
(a) any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the
Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document;
(b) the failure of any Secured Party or any holder of
any Note
(i) to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any
right or remedy against the Borrower, any other Obligor or any
other Person (including any other guarantor (including a
Guarantor)) under the provisions of the Credit Agreement, any
Note, any other Loan Document or otherwise, or
(ii) to exercise any right or remedy against any
other guarantor (including a Guarantor) of, or collateral
securing, any Obligations of the Borrower or any other
Obligor;
(c) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or
in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower or
any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any
Obligation of the Borrower or any other Obligor;
(d) any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of
any Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor for any reason,
including any claim of waiver,
-4-
release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject
to (and the Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any
defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever
by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity,
compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence
affecting, any Obligations of the Borrower, any other Obligor or
otherwise;
(e) any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other
modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of
the Credit Agreement, any Note or any other Loan Document;
(f) any addition, exchange, release, surrender or
non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or
release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other
guaranty, held by any Secured Party or any holder of any Note securing
any of the Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor; or
(g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the
Borrower, any other Obligor, any surety or any guarantor.
SECTION 2.4. Reinstatement, etc. The Guarantor agrees that this
Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if
at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Secured Party or any holder of
any Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, any
other Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
SECTION 2.5. Waiver, etc. The Guarantor hereby waives promptness,
diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the
Obligations of the Borrower or any other Obligor and this Guaranty and any
requirement that the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party or any holder of
any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or
any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against
the Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other
guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations of the Borrower
or any other Obligor, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.6. Postponement of Subrogation, etc. The Guarantor agrees
that it will not exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of
subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise,
until the prior
-5-
payment in full in cash of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other
Obligor, the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and the
termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid to the Guarantor on account of
any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full in cash of all
Obligations of the Borrower and each other Obligor shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Secured Parties and each holder of a Note and shall
immediately be paid to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and each holder of a Note and credited and applied against the
Obligations the Borrower and each other Obligor, whether matured or unmatured,
in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that if
(a) the Guarantor has made payment to the Secured Parties and
each holder of a Note of all or any part of the Obligations of the
Borrower or any other Obligor, and
(b) all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Obligor
have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit have been
terminated or expired and all Commitments have been permanently
terminated,
each Secured Party and each holder of a Note agrees that, at the Guarantor's
request, the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties and the holders
of the Notes, will execute and deliver to the Guarantor appropriate documents
(without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence
the transfer by subrogation to the Guarantor of an interest in the Obligations
of the Borrower and each other Obligor resulting from such payment by the
Guarantor. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligations or
Commitments remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall refrain from taking any
action or commencing any proceeding against the Borrower or any other Obligor
(or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy
proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in the respect of payments made
under this Guaranty to any Secured Party or any holder of a Note.
SECTION 2.7. Successors, Transferees and Assigns; Transfers of Notes,
etc. This Guaranty shall:
(a) be binding upon the Guarantor, and its successors,
transferees and assigns; and
(b) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (b), any Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer (in whole or in part) any Note or Credit Extension
held by it to any other Person or entity, and such other Person or entity shall
thereupon become
-6-
vested with all rights and benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender
under any Loan Document (including this Guaranty) or otherwise, subject,
however, to any contrary provisions in such assignment or transfer, and to the
provisions of Article XIII of the Credit Agreement.
