Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.
Parent Guaranty (a) In consideration of good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and subject to subsection (d) below, the Parent Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the "Parent Guaranty" and, together with the Guaranty of the Parent Guarantor, the "Parent Guaranties") to each holder of a Subsidiary Guaranty and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranties or the obligations of any of the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties, that all obligations of each of the Subsidiaries to the Holders or the Trustee under the Subsidiary Guaranties will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms of the various Subsidiary Guaranties. (b) The Parent Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations with regard to this Parent Guaranty shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Subsidiary Guaranties or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any delays in obtaining or realizing upon or failures to obtain or realize upon collateral, the recovery of any judgment against any Subsidiary, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Subsidiary under the Subsidiary Guaranties. The Parent Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of any Subsidiary, any right to require a proceeding first against any Subsidiary or right to require the prior disposition of the assets of any Subsidiary to meet its obligations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenants that this Parent Guaranty will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations of the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties. (c) If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or otherwise to return to any Subsidiary, or any Custodian, Trustee, or similar official acting in relation to such Subsidiary, any amount paid by such Subsidiary to the Trustee or such Holder, this Parent Guaranty, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. The Parent Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any obligations guaranteed hereby until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between such Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Section 6.2 for the purposes of this Parent Guaranty, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration as to any Subsidiary of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of those obligations as provided in Section 6.2, those 115 127 obligations (whether or not due and payable) will forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purpose of this Parent Guaranty. (d) It is the intention of the Parent Guarantor and the Subsidiaries that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall be, but not in excess of, the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. Accordingly, if the obligations in respect of the Parent Guaranty would be annulled, avoided or subordinated to the creditors of the Parent Guarantor by a court of competent jurisdiction in a proceeding actually pending before such court as a result of a determination both that the Parent Guaranty was made without fair consideration and, immediately after giving effect thereto, or at the time that any demand is made thereupon, the Parent Guarantor was insolvent or unable to pay its debts as they mature or left with an unreasonably small capital, then the obligations of the Parent Guarantor under the Parent Guaranty shall be reduced by such an amount, if any, that would result in the avoidance of such annulment, avoidance or subordination; provided, however, that any reduction pursuant to this paragraph shall be made in the smallest amount as is necessary to reach such result. For purposes of this paragraph, "fair consideration," "insolvency," "unable to pay its debts as they mature," "unreasonably small capital" and the effective times of reductions, if any, required by this paragraph shall be determined in accordance with applicable law. (e) The Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders against the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranties in respect of any amounts paid by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Parent Guaranty; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.
Subsidiary Guaranty The Subsidiary Guaranty shall have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by each Subsidiary Guarantor, shall constitute the legal, valid and binding contract and agreement of each Subsidiary Guarantor and such Purchaser shall have received a true, correct and complete copy thereof.
Continuing Security Interest: Assignments under Credit Agreement This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the Commitments have expired or have been terminated, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, and their respective successors and assigns, and (c) inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Agent, and its successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender may, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender herein or otherwise. Upon payment in full of the Secured Obligations in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement and the expiration or termination of the Commitments, the Security Interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Grantors or any other Person entitled thereto. At such time, Agent will authorize the filing of appropriate termination statements to terminate such Security Interests. No transfer or renewal, extension, assignment, or termination of this Agreement or of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other instrument or document executed and delivered by any Grantor to Agent nor any additional Advances or other loans made by any Lender to Borrower, nor the taking of further security, nor the retaking or re-delivery of the Collateral to Grantors, or any of them, by Agent, nor any other act of the Lender Group or the Bank Product Providers, or any of them, shall release any Grantor from any obligation, except a release or discharge executed in writing by Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall not by any act, delay, omission or otherwise, be deemed to have waived any of its rights or remedies hereunder, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by Agent and then only to the extent therein set forth. A waiver by Agent of any right or remedy on any occasion shall not be construed as a bar to the exercise of any such right or remedy which Agent would otherwise have had on any other occasion.
