(the “Company”), certain Subsidiaries thereof (such Subsidiaries, together with the Company, the “Borrowers”), the financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), and the Administrative Agent have entered into that certain Credit Agreement of even date herewith (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which Credit Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit and other financial accommodations to be made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of the Borrowers;

 

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that each of the Guarantors execute and deliver this Guaranty, whereby each of the Guarantors, without limitation and with full recourse, shall guarantee the payment when due of all Guaranteed Obligations (as defined below); and

 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that each of the Borrowers has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as each of the Borrowers may in the future provide, to the Guarantors, and in consideration of the increased ability of each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Company to receive funds through contributions to capital, and for each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary of the Company to receive funds through intercompany advances or otherwise, from funds provided to the Company pursuant to the Credit Agreement and the flexibility provided by the Credit Agreement for each such Guarantor to do so which significantly facilitates the business operations of the Company and each such Guarantor, and in order to induce the Lenders and the

 

 

Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrowers and to issue the Facility LCs described in the Credit Agreement, each of the Guarantors is willing to guarantee the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.         Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  Each of the Guarantors represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent, solely as to itself and not with respect to any other Guarantor, as of the date of this Guaranty, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on the Effective Date, and thereafter on each date as required by Section 4.2 of the Credit Agreement that:

 

(a)           It (i) is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company duly incorporated or formed, as the case may be, validly existing and (to the extent such concept applies to such entity) in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation or organization, (ii) has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is conducted, except those jurisdictions other than where such Guarantor is incorporated or formed where failure to have such authority would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (iii) has all requisite corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and corporate, partnership or limited liability company authority, as the case may be, to own, operate and encumber its property.

 

(b)           It has the requisite corporate, limited liability company or partnership, as applicable, power and corporate, limited liability company or partnership authority and legal right to execute and deliver this Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder.  The execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty and the performance of its obligations hereunder have been duly authorized by corporate, limited liability company or partnership proceedings, including any required shareholder, member or partner approval, and this Guaranty constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor, in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by equitable principles.

 

(c)           Neither the execution and delivery by it of this Guaranty, nor the consummation by it of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions hereof, will (i) conflict with the charter or other organizational documents of such Guarantor, (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice) a default under any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award (including, without limitation, any environmental property transfer laws or regulations) applicable to such Guarantor or any provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Guarantor is party or is subject or by which it or its property is bound or affected evidencing Indebtedness for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $1,000,000 or where aggregate amounts payable thereunder exceed $1,000,000, or require termination of any such indenture, instrument or agreement, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the property or assets of such Guarantor, other than Liens permitted or created by the Loan

 

2

 

Documents, or (iv) require any additional approval of such Guarantor’s board of directors, shareholders, members, partners or unitholders except such as have been obtained.  The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of each of the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party do not and will not require any additional registration, consent, approval, or notice, or other action, with, of, to or by any Governmental Authority, except for the filing of a financing statement under the UCC, filings in connection with the IP Security Documents, or filings, consents or notices which have been made or are otherwise disclosed in the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)           It has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted under Section 6.10 of the Credit Agreement.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the Company covenants that, so long as any Lender has any Commitment or any amount payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations, as defined below) shall remain unpaid or any Facility LC is outstanding and not fully collateralized (as contemplated by the Credit Agreement), it will cause each other Guarantor to fully comply with those covenants and agreements of such set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 2.         The Guaranty.  Each of the Guarantors hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Guarantors, the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of the Secured Obligations, including, without limitation, (i) the principal of and interest on each Loan made to the Borrowers pursuant to the Credit Agreement, (ii) obligations of the Borrowers owing under or in connection with Facility LCs, (iii) all other amounts payable by the Borrowers under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and including, without limitation, all Rate Management Obligations and obligations in respect of Cash Management Services (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, all Excluded Swap Obligations), and (iv) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance, and fulfillment by the Borrowers of all of the agreements, conditions, covenants, and obligations of the Borrowers contained in the Loan Documents, but excluding all the Excluded Swap Obligations (all of the foregoing being referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”) for the ratable benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations.  Each Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that it is a Borrower under the Credit Agreement, and that the Lenders have allowed certain of the Company’s Subsidiaries to constitute Borrowers under the Credit Agreement in reliance upon this Guaranty. Upon the failure by any Borrower to pay punctually any such amount or perform such obligation, subject to all applicable grace or notice and cure periods, each of the Guarantors agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant other Loan Document, as the case may be.  Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, the amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder shall not be subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.  In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of

 

3

 

subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.

 

SECTION 3.         Guaranty Unconditional.  The obligations of each of the Guarantors hereunder shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:

 

(i)            any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(ii)           any modification or amendment of or supplement to the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby;

 

(iii)          any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any Person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(iv)          any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Borrower or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(v)           the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the Guarantors may have at any time against any Borrower, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Secured Obligations or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;

 

(vi)          the enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to any collateral securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any Borrower or any other

 

4

 

guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(vii)         the failure of the Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain any security interest in, or to preserve any rights to, any security or collateral for the Guaranteed Obligations, if any;

 

(viii)        the election by, or on behalf of, any one or more of the Holders of Secured Obligations, in any proceeding instituted under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (11 U.S.C. 101 et seq.) (or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(ix)          any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;

 

(x)           the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Holders of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(xi)          the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof; or

 

(xii)         any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Holder of Secured Obligations or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty.

 

SECTION 4.         Discharge Only Upon Payment In Full; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances.  Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Commitments and all Facility LCs issued and outstanding under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Facility LCs, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate.   For purposes of this Guaranty “Unliquidated Obligations” means at any time, any Guaranteed Obligations (or portion thereof) that are contingent in nature or unliquidated at such time, including any Guaranteed Obligation that is: (i) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to reimburse the LC Issuer for drawings not yet made under a Facility LC issued by it; (ii) any other obligation (including any guarantee) under the Credit Agreement that is contingent in nature at such time; or (iii) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to provide collateral to secure any of the foregoing types of obligations.  If at any time any payment of the principal of

 

5

 

or interest on any Loan, Secured Obligation or any other amount payable by any Borrower or any other party under the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or any other Loan Document is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by a Holder of Secured Obligations in its discretion), each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.

 

SECTION 5.         General Waivers; Additional Waivers.

 

(a)           General Waivers.  Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein or under the other Loan Documents, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person.

 

(b)           Additional Waivers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:

 

(i)            any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;

 

(ii)           (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans, Facility LCs or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Loan Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of any Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Loan Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the other Loan Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;

 

(iii)          its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations  has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party, or against any Collateral provided by the other Guarantors, or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof;

 

6

 

(iv)          (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of:  (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Holders of Secured Obligations’ rights or remedies against the other guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Holders of Secured Obligations’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and

 

(v)           any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Guarantors.

 

SECTION 6.         Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.

 

(a)           Subordination of Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized), the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the LC Issuer, any of the Holders of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against any Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and until such time the Guarantors waive any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral given to the Holders of Secured Obligations, the LC Issuer and the Administrative Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of any Borrower to the Holders of Secured Obligations, the LC Issuer or the Administrative Agent.  Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in

 

7

 

cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized) and (B) waive all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized).  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the Holders of Secured Obligations and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6(a).

 

(b)           Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  Each Guarantor agrees that any and all claims of such Guarantor against any Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder (each an “Obligor”) with respect to any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest and other amounts from any Obligor with respect to Intercompany Indebtedness.  Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Holders of Secured Obligations and the Administrative Agent in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions or any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services have been terminated.  If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully paid and satisfied (in cash) (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized).  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized) and the termination of all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the Holders of Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs

 

8

 

that have been fully cash collateralized), such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Holders of Secured Obligations, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Holders of Secured Obligations.  If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.  Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations and Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized) have been paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Loan Document among the Borrowers and the Holders of Secured Obligations have been terminated (other than those pertaining to Unliquidated Obligations or Facility LCs that have been fully cash collateralized), no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any claim any such Guarantor has or may have against any Obligor.

 

SECTION 7.         Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(a)           To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations), termination or expiration of all Commitments and Facility LCs or, in the case of all Facility LCs, full collateralization on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, termination of the Credit Agreement and satisfaction of all outstanding obligations under the agreements evidencing Rate Management Transactions and the agreements evidencing Cash Management Services (other than Unliquidated Obligations), such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

 

(b)           As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

 

(c)           This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors,

 

9

 

jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.

 

(d)           The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

 

(e)           The rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the termination or expiry (or in the case of all Facility LCs, full collateralization, on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent), of the Commitments and all Facility LCs issued under the Credit Agreement and the termination of the Credit Agreement and the satisfaction of all outstanding obligations under the agreements evidencing Rate Management Transactions and the agreements evidencing Cash Management Services (other than Unliquidated Obligations).

 

SECTION 8.         Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by any Borrower under the Credit Agreement, any counterparty to any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or any other Loan Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any of its Affiliates, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or any other Loan Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 9.         Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to any Guarantor, in the care of the Company at the address of the Company set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 10.       No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Holder of Secured Obligations in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services and the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

10

 

SECTION 11.       Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Holders of Secured Obligations and their respective successors and permitted assigns, provided, that no Guarantor shall have any right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment in violation of this Section 11 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement, any agreement evidencing Rate Management Transactions, any agreement evidencing Cash Management Services or the other Loan Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.

 

SECTION 12.       Changes in Writing.  Other than in connection with the addition of other Guarantors, which become parties hereto by executing a Guaranty Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent and in accordance with Section 8.3 of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 13.       Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

 

(a)           THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS (WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PROVISIONS) OF THE STATE OF ARIZONA, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

EACH PARTY TO THIS GUARANTY HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JUDICIAL PROCEEDING INVOLVING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY MATTER (WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) IN ANY WAY ARISING OUT OF, RELATED TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

SECTION 16.       Taxes, Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.

 

(a)           Taxes.

 

(i)            Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment, then the applicable Guarantor shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax or Other Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 16) the applicable Lender or the Administrative Agent receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(ii)           The Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

12

 

(iii)          The Guarantor shall indemnify each Lender or the Administrative Agent, within fifteen (15) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 16) payable or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Lender or the Administrative Agent and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Guarantor by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv)          As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 16, such Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)           Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.  The Guarantors agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the other Holders of Secured Obligations for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Holders of Secured Obligations in connection with the collection and enforcement of amounts due under the Loan Documents, including without limitation this Guaranty.

 

SECTION 17.       Setoff.  At any time after all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations have become due and payable (by acceleration or otherwise), each Holder of Secured Obligations and the Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any security or collateral for the payment hereof, set off and apply toward the payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final and in whatever currency denominated at any time held) and other obligations at any time owing by such Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent or any of their Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Guarantor against any of and all the Guaranteed Obligations, irrespective of whether or not such Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The rights of each Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent under this Section 17 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent may have.

 

SECTION 18.       Financial Information.  Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each Borrower, the other Guarantors and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby

 

13

 

agrees that none of the Holders of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event any Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor.

 

SECTION 19.       Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under such law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.

 

SECTION 20.       Merger.  This Guaranty represents the final agreement of each of the Guarantors with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between each such Guarantor and any Holder of Secured Obligations or the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 21.       Headings.  Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.

 

SECTION 22.       Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Guarantor to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 22 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 22, or otherwise under this Guaranty, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section 22 shall remain in full force and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the Commitments and all Facility LCs issued under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Facility LCs, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 22 constitute, and this Section 22 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Guarantor for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.  As used herein, “Qualified ECP Guarantor” means, in respect of any Swap Obligation, each Guarantor that has total assets exceeding $10,000,000 at the time the relevant guarantee or grant of the relevant security interest becomes effective with respect to such Swap Obligation or such other Person as constitutes an “eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder and can cause another Person to qualify as an “eligible

 

14

 

contract participant” at such time by entering into a keepwell under Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

November 8, 2013

 

Reference is hereby made to (i) the Loan Agreement (Term Loan), dated as of November 30, 2006, by and between La Cometa Properties, Inc. and U.S. Bank National Association (the “La Cometa Agreement”), and (ii) the Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of March 22, 2013, by and among Inventure Foods, Inc., certain affiliates thereof, and U.S. Bank National Association (the “Inventure Agreement”), together with all promissory notes issued under each of the foregoing, and all guarantees and other agreements, documents and instruments delivered together therewith, and as each may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Existing Term Loan Agreements”).

 

La Cometa Properties, Inc., Inventure Foods, Inc. and certain of their affiliates are entering into a credit agreement, dated as of the date hereof, evidencing credit facilities in an initial aggregate amount of $90,000,000 (the “Credit Agreement”).  U.S. Bank National Association acts as administrative agent under such credit agreement.  This letter amendment is being delivered in conjunction therewith.

 

Each of the undersigned agrees as follows with respect to the Existing Term Loan Agreement to which it is subject:

 

(i)  the Credit Agreement, the indebtedness evidenced thereby, the liens and security interests granted pursuant thereto, the terms and conditions thereof, and the agreements, documents and instruments delivered together therewith are permitted under the Existing Term Loan Agreements and all related agreements, documents and instruments;

 

(ii)  to the extent any representation, warranty, covenant or event of default from time to time set forth in an Existing Term Loan Agreement is more restrictive or limiting than a similar representation, warranty, covenant or event of default set forth in the Credit Agreement or the agreements, documents or instruments delivered in connection therewith, the applicable Credit Agreement-related provision shall control and shall replace the corresponding provision in the Existing Term Loan Agreement;

 

(iii) those representations, warranties, covenants and events of default that from time to time are set forth in the Credit Agreement and the agreements, documents and instruments delivered in connection therewith but that do not appear in an Existing Term Loan Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference into such Existing Term Loan Agreement and such Existing Term Loan Agreement shall receive the benefit of all such representations, warranties, covenants and events of default;

 

(iv)  an event of default under the Credit Agreement shall constitute an event of default under each Existing Term Loan Agreement; and

 

(v)  notwithstanding the foregoing, in respect of incorporating by reference certain terms of the Credit Agreement into the Existing Term Loan Agreements, interest shall accrue under the La Cometa Agreement, the $1,547,523.59 Term Note B issued under the Inventure Agreement

 

 

and the $4,000,000 Term Note D issued under the Inventure Agreement at the rates and pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth therein as in effect on the date hereof or as otherwise agreed between the parties to or the beneficiaries of such agreements, documents and instruments.

 

The remainder of this page is intentionally blank.
