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.
Parent Guarantee (a) Holdings hereby agrees to become a party to the Indenture as a Guarantor and in accordance with the amendments to the terms of the Indenture made in Section 2 of this Supplemental Indenture, to be substituted for STX as “Parent” under the Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee. Holdings shall have all of the rights and be subject to all of the obligations and agreements of Parent under the Indenture, the Notes and the Parent Guarantee. Holdings hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to each Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns the Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with Article 10 of the Indenture.
(b) Holdings further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from Holdings and that Holdings will remain bound by Article 10 of the Indenture notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.
(c) Holdings waives presentation to, demand of, payment from and protest to Holdings of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. Holdings waives notice of any default under the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations. The obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be affected by:
i. the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Holdings or any other Person under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement or otherwise;
ii. any extension or renewal of any thereof;
iii. any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement;
iv. the release of any security held by any Holder or the Trustee for the obligations of any of them;
v. the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; or
vi. except as set forth in Section 10.05 of the Indenture, any change in the ownership of Holdings.
(d) Holdings further agrees that the Parent Guarantee constitutes a guarantee of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not a guarantee of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any Holder or the Trustee to any security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 8.02 and 10.05 of the Indenture, the obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations, this Indenture, the Notes or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of Holdings under the Parent Guarantee shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Indenture, the Notes or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Holdings or would otherwise operate as a discharge of Holdings as a matter of law or equity.
(f) Holdings further agrees that the Parent Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of principal of or premium (if any) on or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or otherwise.
(g) In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Holder or the Trustee has at law or in equity against Holdings by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay the principal of or premium (if any) on or interest on any Guaranteed Obligation when or to perform or comply with any other Guaranteed Obligation, Holdings hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by the Trustee, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the Holders or the Trustee an amount equal to the sum of (1) the unpaid amount of such Guaranteed Obligations, (2) accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (but only to the extent not prohibited by law) and (3) all other monetary Guaranteed Obligations of the Company to the Holders and the Trustee.
(h) Holdings further agrees that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other hand, (x) the maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture for the purposes of the Parent Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such Guaranteed Obligations as provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such Guaranteed Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by Holdings for the purposes of Section 10.01 of the Indenture.
(i) Holdings also agrees to pay any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee or any Holder in enforcing any rights under Section 10.01 of the Indenture.

(vii) the applicable Subsidiary ceasing to be a Subsidiary as a result of any foreclosure of any pledge or security interest securing Obligations under the Credit Facilities or other exercise of remedies in respect thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically be released from all obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee, and such Subsidiary Guarantee shall thereupon terminate and be discharged and of no further force and effect, upon the merger or consolidation of any Subsidiary Guarantor with and into an Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor that is the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation, or upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to an Issuer or another Subsidiary Guarantor.
