Amendments to Security Agreement (a) Section 1 of the Security Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order to such Section:
Guaranty Provisions (a) In consideration of loans, advances or disbursements heretofore or hereafter granted by the Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the Master Loan Agreement, including any existing or future Supplements thereto, or otherwise and for other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy, sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably (except as otherwise expressly provided in Subsection 3(k) below), completely and immediately guarantees the prompt payment of, when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, and the prompt payment and performance of the Obligations; (b) Guarantor further agrees to pay to the Lender, upon demand, (i) all losses and reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in attempting to cause the Obligations to be paid, performed or otherwise satisfied or in attempting to protect or preserve any property, personal or real, securing the Obligations and (ii) all losses and reasonable costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred in enforcing or endeavoring to enforce this Guaranty and any other Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party or in attempting to protect or preserve property pledged under any Loan Document to which Guarantor is a party; (c) Guarantor expressly guarantees any sum or sums which become due and owing to the Lender as a result of any order of a bankruptcy court which requires the Lender to turn over moneys paid by the Borrower, Guarantor or any other person to the Lender on account of the Obligations. Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment by the Borrower or any other person to the Lender on account of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or restored upon the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Borrower or any other obligor, guarantor, endorser or surety of the Obligations, all as though such payment had not been made; (d) Guarantor assents to all terms and agreements heretofore or hereafter made by the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Borrower with the Lender; (e) Guarantor hereby consents to the following and agrees that its liability will not be affected or impaired by (i) the exchange, release or surrender of any collateral to the Borrower or any other person, including any other guarantor, pledgor or grantor, or the waiver, release or subordination of any security interest, in whole or in part; (ii) the waiver or delay in the exercise of any of the Lender’s rights or remedies against the Borrower or any other person, including any other guarantor; (iii) the release of the Borrower or any other person, including any other person guaranteeing any portion of the Obligations; (iv) the renewal, extension or modification of the terms of any of the Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing the same, including, without limitation, an increase in the principal amount of the Obligations; and (v) the acceptance by the Lender of other guaranties; (f) Guarantor waives acceptance hereof, notice of acceptance hereof, and notice of acceleration of and intention to accelerate the Obligations, and waives presentment, demand, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of default, notice of nonpayment or protest in relation to any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations, and any other demands and notices required by law except as such waiver may be expressly prohibited by law; (g) This is a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, unconditional, direct, complete and immediate and shall not be contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against the Borrower or any other guarantor or person, nor against any security or lien available to the Lender, its successors, successors-in-title, endorsees or assigns. Guarantor waives any right to require that an action be brought against the Borrower or any other person or to require that resort be had to any security. In the event of a default under the Loan Documents, or any of them, the Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies under any of the Loan Documents, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to the Lender in such event shall be nonexclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. Accordingly, Guarantor hereby authorizes and empowers the Lender upon acceleration or maturity of the Obligations or any other Obligation, at its sole discretion, and without notice to Guarantor, to exercise any right or remedy which the Lender may have or any right or remedy hereinafter granted which the Lender may have as to any security. Guarantor expressly waives any right to require any action on the part of the Lender to proceed to collect amounts due under the Master Loan Agreement or any other Loan Documents. (h) Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to Guarantor to all obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, and agrees with the Lender that, from and after the occurrence of a default or event of default under any of the Loan Documents and for so long as such default or event of default exists, Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment of principal or interest from any of the Borrower, shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantor’s liability hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the security for the Obligations; provided, however, that, if the Lender so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantor as trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the Obligations of the Borrower to the Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty; (i) Guarantor hereby authorizes the Lender, without notice to Guarantor, to apply all payments and credits received from the Borrower or from any guarantor or realized from any security in such manner and in such priority as the Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit to the Obligations which are the subject of this Guaranty; (j) The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall not in any manner be affected by reason of any action taken or not taken by the Lender, which action or inaction is consented and agreed to by Guarantor, nor by the partial or complete unenforceability or invalidity of any other guaranty or surety agreement, pledge, assignment, or other security for any of the Obligations. No delay in making demand on Guarantor for satisfaction of its liability hereunder shall prejudice the Lender’s right to enforce such satisfaction. All of the Lender’s rights and remedies shall be cumulative and any failure of the Lender to exercise any right hereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to exercise the same or any other right at any time, and from time to time, thereafter; (k) This Guaranty shall be a continuing one and shall be binding upon Guarantor regardless of how long before or after the date hereof the Obligations are incurred until this Guaranty is terminated as provided in this Guaranty or is revoked by Guarantor prospectively as to future transactions, by written notice actually received by the Lender, and such revocation shall not be effective as to any indebtedness existing or committed for under the Master Loan Agreement or the other Loan Documents at the time of actual receipt of such notice by the Lender, or as to any renewals, extensions or refinancings thereof. Guarantor agrees to rely exclusively on the right to revoke this Guaranty prospectively as to future transactions, in accordance with this Subsection 3(k), if at any time, in the opinion of the directors or officers of Guarantor, the benefits then being received by Guarantor in connection with this Guaranty are not sufficient to warrant the continuance of this Guaranty as to future indebtedness. Accordingly, so long as this Guaranty is not revoked prospectively in accordance with this Subsection 3(k), the Lender may rely conclusively on a continuing warranty, hereby made, that Guarantor continues to be benefited by this Guaranty and the Lender and the Lender shall have no duty to inquire into or confirm that the receipt of any such benefits, and this Guaranty shall be effective and enforceable by the Lender without regard to the receipt, nature or value of any such benefits; and (l) Until the Obligations are paid finally and in full, or this Guaranty is released as provided herein, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to enforce any of the Lender’s rights or remedies or participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lender, and any and all such other rights of subrogation, reimbursement, contribution or indemnification against the Borrower , or any other person having any manner of liability for the Borrower’s obligations to the Lender, whether or not arising hereunder, by agreement, at law or in equity.
Release of Collateral, etc Any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral, property or security, at any time existing in connection with, or assuring or securing payment of, all or any part of the Obligations;
Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 8.07 of the Credit Agreement.
Amendments to Security Documents Except to the extent otherwise expressly set forth in the Guarantee and Security Agreement or the other Loan Documents, no Security Document nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified, nor may the Liens granted under the Guarantee and Security Agreement be spread to secure any additional obligations (excluding (x) any increase in the Loans and Letters of Credit hereunder pursuant to a Commitment Increase under Section 2.08(e), (y) any increase in any Other Secured Indebtedness or Shorter Term Secured Indebtedness permitted hereunder and (z) the spreading of such Liens to any Designated Indebtedness or Hedging Agreement Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Security Agreement) as provided for in the Guarantee and Security Agreement), except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower, and by the Collateral Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that, (i) except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the Obligors from their respective obligations under the Security Documents and (ii) except as otherwise expressly permitted by the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, no such agreement shall release all or substantially all of the collateral security or otherwise terminate all or substantially all of the Liens under the Security Documents, alter the relative priorities of the obligations entitled to the Liens created under the Security Documents (except in connection with securing additional obligations equally and ratably with the Loans and other obligations hereunder) with respect to all or substantially all of the collateral security provided thereby, except that no such consent shall be required, and the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized (and so agrees with the Borrower) to direct the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement to, and in addition to the rights of such parties under the Guarantee and Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Guarantee and Security Agreement may, (1) release any Lien covering property (and to release any such guarantor) that is the subject of either a disposition of property not prohibited hereunder (including, without limitation, any property subject to a participation or repurchase transaction) or a disposition to which the Required Lenders or the required number or percentage of Lenders have consented (and such Lien shall be released automatically (A) to the extent provided in Section 10.03 of the Guarantee and Security Agreement and (B) to the extent permitted hereunder in connection with any property becoming subject to a participation or repurchase transaction), and (2) release from the Guarantee and Security Agreement any “Subsidiary Guarantor” (and any property of such Subsidiary Guarantor) that is designated as a “Designated Subsidiary” or becomes an Excluded Asset or an Immaterial Subsidiary in accordance with this Agreement or is otherwise no longer required to be a “Subsidiary Guarantor” (including, without limitation, because it ceases to be consolidated on the Borrower’s financial statements), so long as immediately after giving effect to any such release under this clause (2) and any Concurrent Transactions, (A) the Covered Debt Amount does not exceed the Borrowing Base and the Borrower delivers a certificate of a Financial Officer to such effect to the Administrative Agent, (B) either (I) the amount of any excess availability under the Borrowing Base immediately prior to such release is not diminished as a result of such release or (II) the Adjusted Gross Borrowing Base immediately after giving effect to such release is at least 110% of the Covered Debt Amount and (C) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
