GUARANTY

 

SECTION 2.1    Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Bondholders, the full and prompt payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise) and performance of the indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and the other Borrower Financing Documents, including all unpaid principal of the Bonds, all interest accrued thereon, all fees, costs and expenses due under the Loan Agreement and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Trustee thereunder or in connection therewith. The terms “indebtedness,” “liabilities” and “obligations” are used herein in their most comprehensive sense and include any and all advances, debts, obligations and liabilities, now existing or hereafter arising, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether due or not due, absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, and whether recovery upon such indebtedness, liabilities and obligations may be or hereafter become unenforceable or shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”) or any proceeding thereunder (an “Insolvency Proceeding”), whether created directly with the Trustee or acquired by the Trustee through assignment or endorsement or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured, whether joint or several, as and when the same become due and payable (whether at maturity or earlier, by reason of acceleration, mandatory repayment or otherwise), in accordance with the terms of any such instruments evidencing any such obligations, including all renewals, extensions or modifications thereof, and including any interest that accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower of any Insolvency Proceeding naming the Borrower as the debtor in such proceeding. The foregoing indebtedness, liabilities and other obligations of the Borrower, and all other indebtedness, liabilities and obligations to be paid or performed by the Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty (including any and all amounts due under Section 4.3), shall hereinafter be collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Obligations.

 

 

 

SECTION 2.2    Bankruptcy Limitations on Guarantor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.1, it is the intention of the Guarantor and the Trustee that, in any proceeding involving the bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment of debts, relief of debtors, dissolution or insolvency or any similar proceeding with respect to the Guarantor or its assets, the amount of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be equal to, but not in excess of, the maximum amount thereof not subject to avoidance or recovery by operation of Debtor Relief Laws after giving effect to Section 2.3. To that end, but only in the event and to the extent that after giving effect to Section 2.3, the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment made pursuant to such Guaranteed Obligations would, but for the operation of the first sentence of this Section 2.2, be subject to avoidance or recovery in any such proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws after giving effect to Section 2.3, the amount of the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall be limited to the largest amount which, after giving effect thereto, would not, under Debtor Relief Laws, render the Guarantor’s obligations with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations unenforceable or avoidable or otherwise subject to recovery under Debtor Relief Laws. To the extent any payment actually made pursuant to the Guaranteed Obligations exceeds the limitation of the first sentence of this Section 2.2 and is otherwise subject to avoidance and recovery in any such proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws, the amount subject to avoidance shall in all events be limited to the amount by which such actual payment exceeds such limitation and the Guaranteed Obligations as limited by the first sentence of this Section 2.2 shall in all events remain in full force and effect and be fully enforceable against the Guarantor. The first sentence of this Section 2.2 is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Trustee hereunder against the Guarantor in such proceeding to the maximum extent permitted by Debtor Relief Laws and none of the Guarantor, the Borrower, or any other Person shall have any right or claim under such sentence that would not otherwise be available under Debtor Relief Laws in such proceeding.

 

SECTION 2.3    Subrogation. Until the Guaranteed Obligations are no longer Outstanding, the Guarantor shall not have, and the Guarantor shall not directly or indirectly exercise, (i) any rights that it may acquire by way of subrogation under this Guaranty, by any payment hereunder or otherwise, or (ii) any rights of contribution, indemnification, reimbursement or similar suretyship claims arising out of this Guaranty or (iii) any other right which it might otherwise have or acquire (in any way whatsoever) which could entitle it at any time to share or participate in any right, remedy or security of the Trustee as against the Borrower, whether in connection with this Guaranty, any of the other Borrower Financing Documents or otherwise. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of the foregoing rights at any time when all the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Borrower Financing Documents.

 

SECTION 2.4    Subordination Terms.

 

(a)    Subordination to Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. All payments on account of all Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor, including all principal on any such credit extensions, all interest accrued thereon, all fees and all other amounts payable by the Borrower to the Guarantor in connection therewith, whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether due or to become due (the “Subordinated Debt”), shall be subject, subordinate and junior in right of payment and exercise of remedies, to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations under which no claim has been made).

 

 

 

(b)    No Payments. As long as any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the Guarantor shall not accept or receive any payment or distribution by or on behalf of the Borrower, directly or indirectly, of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including on account of the purchase, redemption or other acquisition of Subordinated Debt, as a result of any collection, sale or other disposition of collateral, or by setoff, exchange or in any other manner, for or on account of the Subordinated Debt (“Subordinated Debt Payments”), except that if no Event of Default exists, the Guarantor shall be entitled to accept and receive regularly scheduled payments and other payments in the ordinary course on the Subordinated Debt, in accordance with the terms of the documents and instruments governing the Subordinated Debt and other Subordinated Debt Payments in respect of Subordinated Debt not evidenced by documents or instruments. During the existence of an Event of Default (or if any Event of Default would exist immediately after the making of a Subordinated Debt Payment), and until such Event of Default is cured or waived, the Guarantor shall not make, accept or receive any Subordinated Debt Payment. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.4, any Subordinated Debt Payments shall be received in contravention of this Section 2.4 by the Guarantor before all Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full in cash or cash equivalents (other than contingent indemnification obligations under which no claim has been made), such Subordinated Debt Payments shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Trustee and shall be paid over or delivered to the Trustee for application to the payment in full in cash or cash equivalents of all Guaranteed Obligations remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to give effect to this Section 2.4, after giving effect to any concurrent payments or distributions to the Trustee in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(c)    Subordination of Remedies. As long as any Guaranteed Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations under which no claim has been made) shall remain outstanding and unpaid, the Guarantor shall not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee:

 

(i)    accelerate, make demand or otherwise make due and payable prior to the original stated maturity thereof any Subordinated Debt or bring suit or institute any other actions or proceedings to enforce its rights or interests under or in respect of the Subordinated Debt;

 

(ii)    exercise any rights under or with respect to (A) any guaranties of the Subordinated Debt, or (B) any collateral held by it, including causing or compelling the pledge or delivery of any collateral, any attachment of, levy upon, execution against, foreclosure upon or the taking of other action against or institution of other proceedings with respect to any collateral held by it, notifying any account debtors of the Borrower or asserting any claim or interest in any insurance with respect to any collateral, or attempt to do any of the foregoing;

 

(iii)    exercise any rights to set-offs and counterclaims in respect of any indebtedness, liabilities or obligations of the Guarantor to the Borrower against any of the Subordinated Debt; or

 

(iv)    commence, or cause to be commenced, or join with any creditor other than the Trustee in commencing, any Insolvency Proceeding against the Borrower relating to the Subordinated Debt.

 

 

 

(d)    Subordination of Payments and Distributions. In the event of any payment or distribution of assets of the Borrower of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, upon any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to or involving the Borrower, (i) all amounts owing on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, including all interest accrued thereon at the contract rate both before and after the initiation of any such proceeding, whether or not an allowed claim in any such proceeding, shall first be paid in full in cash, or payment provided for in cash or in cash equivalents, before any Subordinated Debt Payment is made; and (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, any Subordinated Debt Payment to which the Guarantor would be entitled except for the provisions hereof, shall be paid or delivered by the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other liquidating agent making such payment or distribution directly to the Trustee for application to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with clause (i), after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the Trustee in respect of such Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(e)    Authorization to Trustee. If, while any Subordinated Debt is outstanding, any Insolvency Proceeding is commenced by or against the Borrower or its property:

 

(i)    The Guarantor shall promptly take such action as is necessary from time to time or as the Trustee may reasonably request to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the Subordinated Debt, and if no such proof of claim has been filed by 15 days prior to any bar date, the Trustee may file such proof of claim; and

 

(ii)    the Trustee is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in the name of the Guarantor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to vote the Subordinated Debt as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.5    Nature of Guaranty.

 

(a)    The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing, unconditional guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection, and that its obligations under this Guaranty shall be primary, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and unaffected by, and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, any defenses (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) to enforcement it may have (now or in the future) by reason of:

 

(i)    the genuineness, legality, validity, regularity, enforceability or any future amendment of, or change in, or supplement to, the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, any other Borrower Financing Document or any other agreement, document or instrument to which the Borrower or the Guarantor is or may become a party (including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise);

 

(ii)    any action under or in respect of the Loan Agreement or any other Borrower Financing Document in the exercise of any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or available to any of them at law, in equity or otherwise, or waiver or refraining from exercising any such remedies, powers or privileges (including any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, the Guaranteed Obligations, or any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of any Borrower Financing Document or any other agreement, including any increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from any extension of additional credit or otherwise);

 

(iii)    the absence of any action to enforce this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement or any other Borrower Financing Document, or the waiver or consent by the Trustee (in each case, in accordance with the Borrower Financing Documents) with respect to any of the provisions of this Guaranty, the Loan Agreement or any other Borrower Financing Document;

 

(iv)    the existence, value or condition of, or failure to perfect its lien (if any) against, any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or any action, or the absence of any action, by the Trustee in respect of such security or guaranty (including, without limitation, the release of any such security or guaranty);

 

 

 

(v)      any structural change in, restructuring of or other similar organizational change of the Borrower or the Guarantor;

(vii)    any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Trustee that might vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise operate as a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Trustee or any other guarantor or surety;

 

it being agreed by the Guarantor that, subject to the first sentence of Section 2.2, its obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged until the Guaranteed Obligations are no longer Outstanding.

 

(b)    The Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Guaranteed Obligations and its obligations under this Guaranty are not and shall not be subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses of any kind (other than the defense of payment) against the Trustee, the Guarantor or the Borrower whether now existing or which may arise in the future.

 

(c)    The Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty, and all dealings among the Borrower and the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Trustee, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.

(b)    any defense based upon the failure of the Trustee to commence an action in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations against the Borrower, the Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(c)    any right to insist upon, plead or in any manner whatever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension, marshalling of assets or redemption laws, or exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise affect the performance by the Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the Trustee of this Guaranty;

 

(d)    any right of diligence, presentment, demand, protest and notice of whatever kind or nature (except as specifically required herein or in the other Borrower Financing Documents) with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any requirement that the Trustee protect, secure, perfect or insure any lien or any property subject thereto;

ARTICLE 3

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

SECTION 3.1    Representations, Warranties and Covenants. The Guarantor makes the following representations, warranties and covenants to the Trustee as set forth in this Section 3.1.

 

(a)    The Guarantor is duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Guarantor is currently qualified or licensed (as applicable) and shall remain qualified or licensed to do business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business requires it to be so qualified or licensed, except where the failure to preserve and maintain such qualification or license to do business could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)    The execution, delivery, and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty has been duly authorized and this Guaranty creates legal, valid, and binding obligations of the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws.

 

(c)    The execution, delivery, and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty does not and will not contravene or conflict with (i) any material law, order, rule, regulation, writ, injunction or decree now in effect of any government authority, or court having jurisdiction over the Guarantor, (ii) any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Guarantor or the Guarantor’s property or assets which may adversely affect the Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty, (iii) the instruments creating any trust holding title to any assets included in the Guarantor’s financial statements, or (iv) the organizational or other documents of the Guarantor.

 

(d)    There is no action, proceeding, or investigation pending or, to the Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened or affecting the Guarantor, which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty. There are no judgments or orders for the payment of money rendered against the Guarantor for an amount in excess of $500,000 that have been undischarged for a period of ten (10) or more consecutive days and the enforcement of which is not stayed by reason of a pending appeal or otherwise. The Guarantor is not in default under any agreements that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the Guarantor’s ability to fulfill its obligations under this Guaranty.

 

(e)    As of the date hereof and throughout the term of the Loan Agreement (a) the Guarantor is not and will not be an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA”), whether or not subject to Title I of ERISA, or a “plan” as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, whether or not subject to Section 4975 of the Code; (b) none of the assets of the Guarantor constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more plans described in the foregoing clause (a) within the meaning of U.S. Department of Labor Regulation 29 C.F.R.

The Guarantor shall not engage in any transaction which would cause any obligation, or action taken or to be taken, hereunder or under any other Borrower Financing Document (or the exercise by the Trustee of any of its rights under this Guaranty or the other Borrower Financing Documents) to be a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code.

 

 

 

(f)    As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby, the Guarantor is and expects to be solvent at all times, and has and expects to have assets at all times which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities and debts, and has and expects to have property and assets at all times sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations and liabilities. The Guarantor shall promptly (and in any case within three (3) Business Days thereof) provide written notice to the Trustee if at any time the Guarantor does not have sufficient assets to fully cover the obligations and performance by the Guarantor pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Guaranty.

 

(g)    All statements set forth in the Recitals are true and correct in all material respects.

Contemporaneously herewith, the Guarantor has executed and delivered an Account Control Agreement with the Trustee and the Custodian, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.

SECTION 4.7    Injunctive Relief. The Guarantor recognizes that, in the event the Guarantor fails to perform, observe or discharge any of its obligations or liabilities under this Guaranty, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Trustee.

SECTION 4.8    No Waiver by Course of Conduct, Cumulative Remedies.

The Trustee shall not by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 4.2), delay, indulge, omit or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Trustee in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default.

SECTION 4.11    Survival of Indemnities. Notwithstanding any termination of this Guaranty, the indemnities to which the Trustee are entitled under the provisions of Section 4.3 and any other provision of this Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Trustee against events arising after such termination as well as before.

 

 

 

SECTION 4.12    Severability of Provisions.

SECTION 4.13    Counterparts. This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single contract.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Guaranty and those of (a) the Loan Agreement, the provisions of the Loan Agreement shall control, and (b)  any other Borrower Financing Document not referenced in clause (a) above, the provisions of this Guaranty shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Trustee in any other Borrower Financing Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Guaranty.

Subject to Section 2.10 of this Guaranty, once the Guaranteed Obligations are no longer Outstanding, this Guaranty and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination or as may be reinstated after such termination) of the Trustee and the Guarantor hereunder shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party.

 

SECTION 4.18    RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is provided to the Trustee in its capacity as such under the Indenture, and in taking any action hereunder, that Trustee shall enjoy all the rights, protections, benefits, immunities, powers, privileges and indemnities afforded to it under the Indenture and the other General Financing Documents.

All rights of the Trustee to compensation and indemnification hereunder shall survive the termination of this Guaranty.
