Article V
GUARANTEE OF SENIOR NOTES
For purposes of the Senior Notes, the Original Indenture shall be amended to include the following Article Thirteen:
“ARTICLE THIRTEEN
GUARANTEE OF SENIOR NOTES
Section 13.1Note Guarantee.
Subject to the provisions of this Article Thirteen, the Guarantors, by execution of this Indenture, jointly and severally, guarantee to the Trustee and to each Holder of the Senior Notes (i) the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest on each Senior Note, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, the due and punctual payment of interest on the overdue principal of and interest on the Senior Notes, to the extent lawful, and the due and punctual payment of all other obligations and due and punctual performance of all obligations of the Issuer to the Holders of the Senior Notes or the Trustee all in accordance with the terms of such Senior Note and this Indenture, and (ii) in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Senior Notes or any of such other obligations, that the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise. Each Guarantor, by execution of this Indenture, agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Senior Note or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Senior Note or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Issuer with respect thereto by the Holder of such Senior Note, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or such Guarantor.
Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a proceeding first against the Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Senior Note or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Note Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Senior Note except by payment in full of the principal thereof and interest thereon. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, as between such Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Senior Notes and the Trustee, on the other hand, (i) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five hereof for the purposes of this Note Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (ii) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
7
Article Five hereof, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by each Guarantor for the purpose of this Note Guarantee.
The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of any Holder of the Senior Notes under the Note Guarantees.
If an officer of a Guarantor or a general partner thereof whose signature is on this Indenture or any supplemental indenture entered into in accordance with Section 13.4 no longer holds that office at any time following the execution thereof, such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee shall be valid nevertheless.
Section 13.2Execution and Delivery of Note Guarantee.
To further evidence the Note Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1, each Guarantor hereby agrees that a notation of such Note Guarantee, substantially in the form included inExhibit B hereto, shall be endorsed on each Senior Note authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and such Note Guarantee shall be executed by either manual or facsimile signature of an officer or an officer of a general partner, as the case may be, of each Guarantor. The validity and enforceability of any Note Guarantee shall not be affected by the fact that it is not affixed to any particular Senior Note.
Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that its Note Guarantee set forth in Section 13.1 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each Senior Note a notation of such Note Guarantee.
If an officer of a Guarantor or a general partner thereof whose signature is on a Note Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Senior Note on which such Note Guarantee is endorsed or at any time thereafter, such Guarantor’s Note Guarantee of such Senior Note shall be valid nevertheless.
The delivery of any Senior Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of any Note Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Guarantor.
Section 13.3Limitation of Note Guarantee.
The obligations of each Guarantor are limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor and after giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its Note Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Note Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law.
8
Section 13.4Additional Guarantors.
The Issuer covenants and agrees that it shall cause any Person who becomes an Affiliate Guarantor of any of the High-Yield Notes pursuant to the terms of the High-Yield Indentures to become a Guarantor of the Senior Notes by executing a supplemental indenture to this Indenture and delivering any other documentation requested by the Trustee, in each case satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee, pursuant to which such Person guarantees, jointly and severally with all other Guarantors, all of the Issuer’s obligations under the Senior Notes and this Indenture in accordance with this Article Thirteen, with the same effect and to the same extent as if such Person had been named herein as a Guarantor. The Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel that such supplemental indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Person and, subject to customary exceptions, constitutes a valid and legally binding and enforceable obligation of such Person.
The Trustee shall not be charged with notice or knowledge of any event requiring any Person to become a Guarantor hereunder unless and until it shall have received notice of such event from the Issuer.
Section 13.5Release of Guarantors.
The Note Guarantee of any Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged when such Guarantor’s guarantee of the High-Yield Notes is released and discharged in accordance with the terms of each of the High-Yield Indentures (except to the extent such guarantee of such High-Yield Notes is released and discharged as a result of payment in full of such High-Yield Notes or pursuant to a “Legal Defeasance” under the High-Yield Indentures, in which case such Note Guarantee of such Guarantor shall not be released and discharged). In each such case, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such release have been complied with and that such release is authorized and permitted hereunder. For purposes of Sections 3.9 and 4.3, such Officer’s Certificate shall state, in the case of a release of Mosaic as a Guarantor, whether such release is as a result of its being released as an Affiliate Guarantor of the High-Yield Notes pursuant to Section 10.05(v) of the High-Yield Indentures in connection with a change of control of IMC.
The Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Issuer or a Guarantor in order to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under its Note Guarantee under this Article Thirteen.
Section 13.6Waiver of Subrogation.
Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Issuer that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s obligations under its Note Guarantee and this Indenture, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Holder of Senior Notes against the Issuer, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under
9
contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Issuer, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Senior Notes shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Holders of the Senior Notes, and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Holders to be credited and applied upon the Senior Notes, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture. Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the waiver set forth in this Section 13.6 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
Section 13.7Notice to Trustee.
The Issuer or any Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Issuer or any such Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in respect of the Note Guarantees. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article Thirteen or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Note Guarantees, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Issuer no later than one Business Day prior to such payment; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 13.7, and subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 hereof, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist;provided,however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice referred to in this Section 13.7 at least one Business Day prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any such payment may become payable for any purpose under this Indenture (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Senior Note), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it less than one Business Day prior to such date.”
