 10 









 
Guarantor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for the Guarantor and the Guarantor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the Senior Lender
Parties and the Guarantied Party in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral, shall continue after the institution of any Proceeding involving the Guarantor, including, without limitation, the filing of
any petition by or against the Guarantor under the Bankruptcy Code and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, on the same basis as prior to the date of such institution, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of
cash collateral by, the Guarantor as debtor-in-possession. 
  
 (ii) The Guarantied Party agrees not to seek to challenge, to avoid, to subordinate or to contest or directly or indirectly to support any other Person in challenging, avoiding or contesting in any judicial or other
proceeding, including, without limitation, any Proceeding, the priority, validity, extent, perfection or enforceability of any Lien held by any Senior Lender Party in all or any part of the Collateral. 
  
 (iii) The Guarantied Party agrees that any of the Senior
Lender Parties may consent to the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or provide financing to the Guarantor under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as such
Senior Lender Parties may decide, and that the Guarantied Party shall not raise any objections to such financing or use of cash collateral on the grounds of a failure to provide “adequate protection” for the Liens of the Guarantied Party
so long as the (x) the Guarantied Party retains a Lien on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy
Code and (y) the Guarantied Party receives a replacement Lien on post-petition assets to the same extent granted to the Senior Lender Parties, with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code.
Guarantied Party agrees that all such financing shall constitute Senior Debt hereunder, and, in connection therewith, the Guarantor may grant to such Senior Lender Parties Liens upon all of the Property of the Guarantor, which Liens (A) shall
secure payment of all or any portion of the Senior Debt (whether such Senior Debt arose prior to the commencement of any Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by such Senior Lender Parties during the Proceeding and
(B) shall be superior in priority to the Liens, if any, in favor of the Guarantied Party on the Property of the Guarantor. The Guarantied Party agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Property securing all
of any part of the Senior Debt free and clear of Liens or other claims of the Guarantied Party under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Lender Parties have consented to such sale or
disposition provided, that, subject to the other terms and provisions of this Section 5, the Lien of the Guarantied Party on the proceeds thereof shall continue to attach to such proceeds pursuant to this Guaranty. 
  

 11 









 (iv) The Senior Debt shall continue to be treated as Senior Debt and the provisions of
this Section 5 shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the Senior Debt and the Guarantied Obligations relative to the Collateral even if all or part of the Senior Debt or the Liens securing the Senior Debt are
subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Proceeding, and this Section 5 shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
holder of Senior Debt or any representative of such holder. 
  
 (b) Standstill Provisions. Notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to the Guarantied Party under this Guaranty, applicable law or otherwise, but subject to the last sentence of this subsection 5.1(b),
prior to the time when the Senior Lender Parties shall have received payment in full of all Senior Debt, neither the Guarantied Party nor the RCT shall, directly or indirectly take any Enforcement Action; provided, however, that, so long as no
Senior Default has occurred and is continuing, the Guarantied Party may receive the payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.1 as and when due. This Section 5.1(b) shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of
(A) the Guarantied Party to join (but not control in any way) any foreclosure or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to the Collateral initiated by Senior Lender Parties, so long as it does not delay or interfere with the
exercise by Senior Lender Parties of their respective rights as provided in this Section 5, (B) the Guarantied Party’s right to receive any remaining proceeds of Collateral after payment in full of all Senior Debt, or (C) the
Guarantied Party to demand payment of the Guarantied Obligations, or sue for payment of the Guarantied Obligations, so long as no such action constitutes an Enforcement Action. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that any of the Guarantied
Obligations are not paid by the Guarantor when due under Section 2.1, the RCT reserves the right, on or after the later of the applicable due date and one hundred and twenty (120) days after the RCT has provided notice that such payment
will be due (including the calculation of the amount due by the Guarantor) to the Guarantor, the Agent and the Second Lien Agent, to commence and complete litigation to collect such payment; provided, however, that, so long as the Guarantor has
taken all actions permitted pursuant to the terms of the Senior Debt Documents to make such payment (including, without limitation, incurring additional revolving borrowings to the extent available under the Senior Debt Documents), the Guarantied
Party shall not take any other Enforcement Action or proceed or seek to proceed against the Collateral in any manner. 
  
 (c) Turnover. If any payments pursuant to this Guaranty or proceeds of sales or other dispositions of Collateral are received by
the Guarantied Party that would properly be payable to the Senior Lender Parties under Section 5.1(d) of this Guaranty and that are not permitted to be paid to the Guarantied Party pursuant hereto or pursuant to the Senior Debt Documents, such
Distribution shall not be commingled with any of the assets of the Guarantied Party shall be held in trust by the Guarantied Party for the benefit of the Senior Lender Parties and shall be promptly paid over to the Senior Lender Parties.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, no 

  

 12 









 
payments to the Guarantied Party shall be required to be paid over to the Senior Lender Parties pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) if the Senior Lender
Parties have either consented in writing to such payment or have failed-to-request turnover of such payment within 45 days of receipt of actual notice of the making of such payment. 
  
 (d) Subordination of Liens and Security Interests; Agreement to Release Liens. Until the Senior Debt
has been paid in full, notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of the Liens on all or any part of the Collateral granted to the Senior Lender Parties and the Guarantied Party, and notwithstanding the provisions
of the UCC or any other applicable law or decision, or the terms or provisions of the Senior Debt Documents or this Guaranty, respectively, or any other circumstance whatsoever, regardless of when or how acquired, whether by grant, statute,
operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, all Liens of the Guarantied Party in the Collateral shall be and hereby are subordinated for all purposes and in all respects to the Liens of the Senior Lender Parties in the Collateral. In the event the
Senior Lender Parties release or agrees to release any of its Liens on all or any part of the Collateral, the Guarantied Party shall promptly release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Collateral. The Guarantied Party shall, at the
Guarantor’s expense, deliver such release documents as the Senior Lender Parties may reasonably require in connection therewith. 
  
 (e) Application of Proceeds from Sale or other Disposition of the Collateral. In the event of any sale, transfer or other
disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied, first, in accordance with the terms of the Senior Debt Documents until such
time as the Senior Debt is paid in full and, thereafter, shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty. Until the Senior Debt has been paid in full, the Guarantied Party agrees that the Senior Lender Parties, acting in a
commercially reasonable manner, shall have the sole and exclusive right to adjust settlement with respect to any insurance coverage for any Collateral. 
  
 5.2 Modifications to Senior Debt Documents. Senior Lender Parties may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to
the Guarantied Party, without incurring liability to the Guarantied Party and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Guarantied Party under this Section 5, change the manner or place of payment or extend the time of payment of or
renew or alter any of the terms of the Senior Debt, or amend in any manner any agreement, note, guaranty or other instrument evidencing or securing or otherwise relating to the Senior Debt. 
  
 5.3 Waiver of Marshaling Rights by the Guarantied Party. The
Guarantied Party hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshaling or to otherwise require any Senior Lender Party to marshal any Property of the Guarantor for the benefit of the Guarantied Party.

 5.4 Rights Relating to the Senior Lender Parties’ Actions with respect to the
Collateral. The Guarantied Party hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing any Senior Lender Party from taking, or
refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Guarantied Party hereby agrees (a) that it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which Senior Lender
Parties apply the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by Senior Lender Parties of rights and remedies under the Senior Debt Documents to the Senior Debt and (b) that the Senior Lender Parties have not assumed any obligation
to act as the agent for the Guarantied Party with respect to the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 5 is intended or shall be deemed to restrict the rights of the Guarantied Party to seek judicial relief if a
foreclosure of the Collateral by the Senior Lender Parties does not comply with the commercially reasonable requirements of Section 9-610 of the UCC. 
  
 5.5 Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time, upon the request of the Senior Lender Parties, the RCT shall execute and deliver
such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Senior Lender Parties may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Section 5. 
  
 5.6 Continuation of Lien Subordination; Termination of Agreement. This Section 5 shall remain in full
force and effect until the payment in full after which this Section 5 shall terminate without further action on the part of the parties hereto. 
  
 5.7 Obligations Unconditional. 
  
 (a) All rights and interests of the Senior Lender Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Guarantied Party and the
Guarantor hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Senior Debt Document or any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any change in the
time, manner, order or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Senior Debt permitted by the terms hereof, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Senior Debt Document in accordance
with the terms hereof, (iii) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Debt, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, the Guarantor in respect of the Senior Debt or the Guarantied Party or the Guarantor in respect of this Section 5 other than actual payment of the Senior Debt. 
  
 (b) This Section 5 shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
time any payment of any of the Senior Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Senior Lender Parties upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Guarantor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 5.8 Waiver. Each of the Guarantied Party and the Guarantor hereby waives
(a) promptness and diligence, (b) notice of acceptance and notice of the incurrence of any Senior Debt by the Guarantor, (c) notice of any actions taken by the any Senior Lender Party or the Guarantor or any other Person under any
Senior Debt Document or any other agreement, document or instrument relating thereto, (d) except to the extent expressly provided herein, all other notices, demands and protests, and all other formalities of every kind in connection with the
enforcement of all or any part of the Senior Debt or of the obligations of the Guarantied Party and the Guarantor hereunder and (e) any requirement that the Senior Lender Parties protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or other
Lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right to take any action against the Guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral. 
  
 5.9 Specific Performance. The Senior Lender Parties are hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Section 5 at any time
when the Guarantied Party shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Section 5, and the Guarantied Party hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to such
remedy of specific performance. 
  
 5.10 Subordination to
the TLV Guaranty. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Guaranty shall be subordinate and junior in all respects to the TLV Guaranty and to the rights of the holders of Allowed but unpaid Class 3(B) TLV Reclamation Claims (or
of any person subrogated to such rights) under the Plan of Reorganization.
