15.23. Obligations of Borrowers Joint and Several. Each of
the Borrowers agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for all of
the Obligations. Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability
hereunder in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by
the Lenders and Issuing Banks under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit,
directly and indirectly, of each of the Borrowers and in consideration of the
undertakings of each of the Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for
the obligations of each of them. Each of the Borrowers 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 Borrowers with
respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that all the Obligations shall be the joint and
several obligations of each of the Borrowers without preferences or distinction
among them. If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make
any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to
perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in
each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or
perform, such Obligation. The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions
of this Section 15.23 constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower,
enforceable against it to the full extent of its properties and assets,
irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or
any other circumstances whatsoever. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and
several liability, notice of any Loan made, or Letter of Credit issued, under
this Agreement, notice of occurrence of any Event of Default, or of any demand
for any payment under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or
omitted by any Lender or Issuing Bank under or in respect of any of the
Obligations, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all demands, notices
and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement. Each
Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement
of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any
partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by
any Lender or Issuing Bank at any time or times in respect of any default by
any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant,
condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences
whatsoever by any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking,
addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times,
of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or
release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting
or failure to act on the part of any Lender, including, without limitation, 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 Section 15.23, afford grounds for terminating,
discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its
obligations under this Section 15.23, it being the intention of each Borrower
that, so long as any of the Obligations remain unsatisfied, the obligations of
such Borrower under this Section 15.23 shall not be discharged except by
performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations
of each Borrower under this Section 15.23 shall not be diminished or rendered
unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation,
reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any
Lender. The joint and several liability of the Borrowers 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 Borrower or any Lender or Issuing
Bank. The provisions of this Section 15.23 are made for the benefit of the
Holders and their respective successors and assigns, and may be enforced by any
such Person from time to time against any of the Borrowers as often as occasion
therefor may arise and without requirement on the part of any Holder first to
marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its rights against any of the
other
7
8
Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available to it against any of the other
Borrowers 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
Section 15.23 shall remain in effect until all the Obligations 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 any Holder upon the insolvency, bankruptcy
or reorganization of any of the Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this
Section 15.23 will forthwith be reinstated in effect, as though such payment
had not been made. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, to the extent the joint
obligations of a Borrower shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable
for any reason (including, without limitation, because of any applicable state
or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers) then the
obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall be limited to the maximum amount
that is permissible under applicable law (whether federal or state and
including, without limitation, the federal Bankruptcy Code). The Borrowers
hereby agree, as among themselves, that if any Borrower shall become an Excess
Funding Borrower (as defined below), each other Borrower shall, on demand of
such Excess Funding Borrower (but subject to the next sentence hereof and to
clause (B) below), pay to such Excess Funding Borrower an amount equal to such
Borrower's Pro Rata Share (as defined below and determined, for this purpose,
without reference to the properties, assets, liabilities and debts of such
Excess Funding Borrower) of such Excess Payment (as defined below). The
payment obligation of any Borrower to any Excess Funding Borrower under this
Section 15.23 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior
payment in full of the Obligations of such Borrower under the other provisions
of this Agreement, and such Excess Funding Borrower shall not exercise any
right or remedy with respect to such excess until payment and satisfaction in
full of all of such Obligations. For purposes hereof, (i) "Excess Funding
Borrower" shall mean, in respect of any Obligations arising under the other
provisions of this Agreement (hereafter, the "Joint Obligations"), a Borrower
that has paid an amount in excess of its Pro Rata Share of the Joint
Obligations; (ii) "Excess Payment" shall mean, in respect of any Joint
Obligations, the amount paid by an Excess Funding Borrower in excess of its Pro
Rata Share of such Joint Obligations; and (iii) "Pro Rata Share", for the
purposes of this Section 15.23, shall mean, for any Borrower, the ratio
(expressed as a percentage) of (A) the amount by which the aggregate present
fair saleable value of all of its assets and properties exceeds the amount of
all debts and liabilities of such Borrower (including contingent, subordinated,
unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities, but excluding the obligations of such
Borrower hereunder) to (B) the amount by which the aggregate present fair
saleable value of all assets and other properties of such Borrower and all of
the other Borrowers exceeds the amount of all of the debts and liabilities
(including contingent, subordinated, unmatured, and unliquidated liabilities,
but excluding the obligations of such Borrower and the other Borrowers
hereunder) of such Borrower and all of the other Borrowers, all as of the
Effective Date.

and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto and made a part hereof shall be
substituted therefor.
