ARTICLE 1
DEFINITIONS
-----------
Section 1.1. Defined Terms. As used in this Subsidiary Guaranty
-------------
Agreement, terms that shall be defined in the Indenture (to the extent not
otherwise defined herein) or in the preamble or recitals hereto are used herein
as shall therein be defined.
ARTICLE 2
GUARANTIES
----------
Section 2.1. Guaranties. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
----------
unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and severally, to each
Holder and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns (a) the full and
punctual payment of principal of and interest on the
Securities when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or
otherwise, and all other obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the
Securities to pay amounts to the Trustee or the Holders in respect of the
Securities and (b) the full and punctual performance within applicable grace
periods of all other obligations of the Issuer under the Indenture and the
Securities (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the
"Indenture Obligations"). Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that the
---------------------
Indenture Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without
notice or further assent from such Subsidiary Guarantor and that such Subsidiary
Guarantor will remain bound under the Indenture notwithstanding any extension or
renewal of any Indenture Obligation.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of, payment from
and protest to the Issuer of any of the Indenture Obligations and also waives
notice of protest for nonpayment. Each Subsidiary Guarantor waives notice of any
default under the Securities or the Indenture Obligations. The obligations of
each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of
any Holder or the Trustee to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right
or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person under the Indenture, the
Securities or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of
any such claim, demand, right or remedy; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment
or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Indenture, the
Securities or any other agreement; (d) the release of any security held by any
Holder or the Trustee for the Indenture Obligations or any of them; (e) the
failure of any Holder or the Trustee to exercise any right or remedy against any
other guarantor of the Indenture Obligations; or (f) subject to Section 2.06 of
this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, any change in the ownership of such
Subsidiary Guarantor.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty
herein 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 Indenture Obligations.
Each Subsidiary Guaranty is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in
Article 3, subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full in cash of all obligations with respect to all Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor giving such Subsidiary Guaranty and each Subsidiary
Guaranty is made subject to such provisions of the Indenture.
Except as shall be expressly set forth in Section 8.01(b) of the Indenture
and as expressly set forth in Sections 2.02 and 2.06 of this Subsidiary Guaranty
Agreement, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder 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 Indenture Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor herein
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 the Indenture, the Securities 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
2
other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risk of such Subsidiary Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of
such Subsidiary Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees that its Subsidiary Guaranty
herein 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 interest on any
Indenture Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Holder or
the Trustee upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.
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 any Subsidiary
Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay the principal
of or interest on any Indenture Obligation when and as the same shall become
due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, or to
perform or comply with any other Indenture Obligation, each Subsidiary Guarantor
hereby promises to and will, 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 (i) the unpaid amount of such Indenture Obligations
and (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on such Indenture Obligations (but only to
the extent not prohibited by law).
Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to any right
of subrogation in respect of any Indenture Obligations guaranteed hereby until
payment in full of all Indenture Obligations and all obligations to which the
Indenture Obligations are subordinated as provided in Article 3. Each Subsidiary
Guarantor 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 Indenture
Obligations Guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article 6 of the
Indenture for the purposes of such Subsidiary Guarantor's Subsidiary Guaranty
herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing
such acceleration in respect of the Indenture Obligations guaranteed hereby, and
(y) in the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as
provided in Article 6 of the Indenture, such Indenture Obligations (whether or
not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by such Subsidiary
Guarantor for the purposes of this Section.
Section 2.2. Limitation on Liability. Any term or provision of the
-----------------------
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum, aggregate amount of the
Indenture Obligations guaranteed hereunder by any Subsidiary Guarantor shall not
exceed the maximum amount that can be hereby guaranteed without rendering the
Indenture, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable
law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors generally.
Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary
Guaranty will be entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor
in an amount equal to such other Subsidiary Guarantor's pro rata portion of such
payment based on the respective net assets of all the Subsidiary Guarantors at
the time of such payment determined in accordance with GAAP.
3
Section 2.3. Successors and Assigns. This Article 2 shall be binding
----------------------
upon each Subsidiary Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to
the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Trustee and the Holders and, in
the event of any transfer or assignment of rights by any Holder or the Trustee,
the rights and privileges conferred upon that party in the Indenture and in the
Securities shall automatically extend to and be vested in such transferee or
assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture.
Section 2.4. No Waiver. Neither a failure nor a delay on the part of
---------
either the Trustee or the Holders in exercising any right, power or privilege
under this Article 2 shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or
partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right,
power or privilege. The rights, remedies and benefits of the Trustee and the
Holders herein expressly specified are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
rights, remedies or benefits which either may have under this Article 2 at law,
in equity, by statute or otherwise.
Section 2.5. Modification. No modification, amendment or waiver of any
------------
provision of this Article 2, nor the consent to any departure by any Subsidiary
Guarantor therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Trustee, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No
notice to or demand on any Subsidiary Guarantor in any case shall entitle such
Subsidiary Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in the same,
similar or other circumstances.
Section 2.6. Release of Subsidiary Guarantor. Upon the sale (including
-------------------------------
any sale pursuant to any exercise of remedies by a holder of Senior
Indebtedness) or other disposition (including by way of consolidation or merger)
of all or substantially all of the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor or
the sale, assignment, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all the
assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor in each case in one or more related
transactions (in each case (i) other than to the Issuer or an Affiliate of the
Issuer and (ii) in accordance with Section 5.01 to be included in the
Indenture), such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed automatically released
from all obligations under this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement (including this
Article 2) without any further action required on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder. At the request of the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver an appropriate instrument evidencing such release.
Section 2.7. Withholding Taxes.
-----------------
(a) All payments made by a Subsidiary Guarantor under or with respect to
its Subsidiary Guaranty shall be made free and clear of and without withholding
or deduction for or on account of any present or future tax, duty, levy, impost,
assessment or other governmental charge (including penalties, interest and other
liabilities related thereto) imposed or levied by or on behalf of any
jurisdiction from or through which payment is made or where the payor is located
or any province or territory thereof or by any authority or agency therein or
thereof having power to tax (hereinafter "Taxes"), unless such Subsidiary
-----
Guarantor is required to withhold or deduct Taxes by law or by the
interpretation or administration thereof by the relevant government authority or
agency. If such Subsidiary Guarantor is so required to withhold or deduct any
amount for or on account of Taxes from any payment made under or with respect to
a
4
Subsidiary Guaranty, such Subsidiary Guarantor will be required to pay such
additional amounts ("Additional Amounts") as may be necessary so that the net
------------------
amount received by each Holder after such withholding or deduction (including
with respect to such Additional Amounts) will not be less than the amount the
Holder would have received if such Taxes had not been withheld or deducted;
provided, however, that no Additional Amounts will be payable with respect to
payments made to a Holder (an "Excluded Holder") in respect of a beneficial
---------------
owner to the extent such beneficial owner is subject to such Taxes by reason of
its being connected with the British Virgin Islands or any province or territory
thereof otherwise than by the mere holding of Securities or the receipt of
payments thereunder or the enforcement of a Subsidiary Guaranty. The Subsidiary
Guarantors will also make such withholding or deduction and remit the full
amount deducted or withheld to the relevant authority as and when required in
accordance with applicable law. The Subsidiary Guarantors will furnish to the
Holder of the Securities, within 30 days after the date the payment of any Taxes
is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing
such payment by the Subsidiary Guarantors. The Subsidiary Guarantors will upon
written request of each Holder (other than an Excluded Holder), reimburse each
such Holder for the amount of any Taxes so levied or imposed and paid by such
Holder with respect to any reimbursement referred to above, but excluding any
such Taxes on such Holder's net income, so that the net amount received by such
Holder after such reimbursement will not be less than the net amount the Holder
would have received if Taxes (other than such Taxes on such Holder's net income)
on such reimbursement had not been imposed.
(b) Whenever in this Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or the Indenture there
is mentioned, in any context, (a) the payment of principal, (b) purchase prices
in connection with a purchase of Securities, (c) interest or (d) any other
amount payable on or with respect to any of the Securities or a Subsidiary
Guaranty, such reference shall be deemed to include payment of Additional
Amounts provided for in Section 2.07(a) to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof.
(c) At least 10 days prior to the first interest payment date for the
Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of or
interest on the Securities if there has been a change with respect to the
matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate or Certificates,
the Subsidiary Guarantors will furnish the Trustee and the principal Paying
Agent, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate of each of the
Subsidiary Guarantors instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether any
payment with respect to a Subsidiary Guaranty shall be made to Holders of the
Securities subject to withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any Taxes.
If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such Officers'
Certificate or Certificates shall specify by country, the amount, if any,
required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to the Holders, and the
Subsidiary Guarantors will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by this Section. The Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly
and severally, agree to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred
without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection
with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers'
Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section.

ARTICLE 3
SUBORDINATION OF SUBSIDIARY GUARANTIES
--------------------------------------
Section 3.1. Agreement To Subordinate. Each Subsidiary Guarantor
------------------------
agrees, and each Securityholder by accepting a Security agrees, that the
Indenture Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor are subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article 3, to the
prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary
Guarantor and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Indenture Obligations of a
Subsidiary Guarantor shall in all respects rank pari passu with all other Senior
Subordinated Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor and only Senior
Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including such Subsidiary Guarantor's
Guarantee of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer) shall rank senior to the
Indenture Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with the ]
provisions set forth herein.
Section 3.2. Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. Upon any payment or
------------------------------------
distribution of the assets of any Subsidiary Guarantor to creditors upon a total
or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of such Subsidiary
Guarantor or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or
similar proceeding relating to such Subsidiary Guarantor or its property:
(1) the holders of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor
shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all obligations
with respect to such Senior Indebtedness (including all interest accruing
subsequent to the filing of a petition in bankruptcy at the rate provided
for in the documentation with respect thereto, whether or not such interest
is an allowed claim under applicable law) before Securityholders shall be
entitled to receive any payment or distribution with respect to any
Indenture Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor; and
(2) until all obligations with respect to the Senior Indebtedness of
any Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in full in cash, any payment or
distribution to which Securityholders would be entitled but for this
Article 3 shall be made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness as their
interests may appear, except that Securityholders may receive shares of
stock and any debt securities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are
subordinated to Senior Indebtedness, and to any debt securities received by
holders of Senior Indebtedness, of such Subsidiary Guarantor to at least
the same extent as the Indenture Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor
are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor.
Section 3.3. Default on Senior Indebtedness of Subsidiary Guarantor. No
------------------------------------------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor may make any payment (in cash, property or other assets)
pursuant to any of its Indenture Obligations or repurchase, redeem or otherwise
retire or defease any Securities or other Indenture Obligations (collectively,
"pay its Subsidiary Guaranty") if either of the following Payment Default
---------------------------
occurs: (1) any obligations with respect to Senior Indebtedness of such
Subsidiary Guarantor is not paid in full when due or (2) any other default on
Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor occurs and the maturity of such
Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in
either case, (x) the default has been cured or
6
waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded in writing or (y) such
Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash; provided, however, that any
Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Subsidiary Guaranty without regard to the
foregoing if such Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee receive written notice
approving such payment from the Representatives of such Senior Indebtedness. No
Subsidiary Guarantor may pay its Subsidiary Guaranty during the continuance of
any Payment Blockage Period after receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee (with a
copy to the Issuer) of a Blockage Notice under Section 10.03 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence
(but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section),
unless the holders of Designated Senior Indebtedness giving such Blockage Notice
or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of
such Designated Senior Indebtedness, any Subsidiary Guarantor may resume
payments pursuant to its Subsidiary Guaranty after termination of such Payment
Blockage Period.
Section 3.4. Demand for Payment. If a demand for payment is made on a
------------------
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Article 2, the Trustee shall promptly notify
the holders of the Designated Senior Indebtedness (or their Representatives) of
such demand. If any Designated Senior Indebtedness is outstanding at the time of
such acceleration, neither the Issuer nor any Subsidiary Guarantor may pay the
Securities until five Business Days after the Representatives of all the issues
of Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and,
thereafter, may pay the Securities only if the Indenture otherwise permits
payment at that time.
Section 3.5. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over. If a distribution is
-----------------------------------
made to Securityholders that because of this Article 3 should not have been made
to them, the Securityholders who receive the distribution shall hold it in trust
for holders of the relevant Senior Indebtedness and pay it over to them or their
Representatives as their interests may appear.
Section 3.6. Subrogation. After all Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
-----------
Guarantor is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full,
Securityholders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of such Senior
Indebtedness to receive distributions applicable to Senior Indebtedness. A
distribution made under this Article 3 to holders of such Senior Indebtedness
which otherwise would have been made to Securityholders is not, as between the
relevant Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, a payment by such Subsidiary
Guarantor on such Senior Indebtedness.
Section 3.7. Relative Rights. This Article 3 defines the relative
---------------
rights of Securityholders and holders of Senior Indebtedness of a Subsidiary
Guarantor. Nothing in this Agreement or the Indenture shall:
(1) impair, as between a Subsidiary Guarantor and Securityholders, the
obligation of such Subsidiary Guarantor, which is absolute and
unconditional, to pay the Indenture Obligations to the extent set forth in
Article 2; or
(2) prevent the Trustee or any Securityholder from exercising its
available remedies upon a default by such Subsidiary Guarantor under the
Indenture
7
Obligations, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness of
such Subsidiary Guarantor to receive distributions otherwise payable to
Securityholders.
Section 3.8. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Issuer. No right
-----------------------------------------------
of any holder of Senior Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce the
subordination of the Indenture Obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
impaired by any act or failure to act by such Subsidiary Guarantor or by its
failure to comply with the Indenture.
Section 3.9. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent. Notwithstanding
----------------------------------
Section 3.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on any
Subsidiary Guaranty and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than
two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Trust Officer of the
Trustee receives written notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made
under this Article 3. The Issuer, the relevant Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor may give the notice.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior
Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee. The
Registrar and co-registrar and the Paying Agent may do the same with like
rights. The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article 3 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor
which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of
Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article 7 of the Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article 3 shall
apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section
7.07 of the Indenture.
Section 3.10. Distribution or Notice to Representative. Whenever a
----------------------------------------
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the distribution may be made and the notice given
to their Representative (if any).
Section 3.11. Article 3 Not To Prevent Defaults Under a Subsidiary
----------------------------------------------------
Guaranty or Limit Right To Demand Payment. The failure to make a payment
- -----------------------------------------
pursuant to a Subsidiary Guaranty by reason of any provision in this Article 3
shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a default under such
Subsidiary Guaranty. Nothing in this Article 3 shall have any effect on the
right of the Securityholders or the Trustee to make a demand for payment on any
Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to Article 2.
Section 3.12. Trustee Entitled To Rely. Upon any payment or distribution
------------------------
pursuant to this Article 3, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall be
entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of competent
jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 3.02
are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or
other Person making such payment or distribution to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor for the purpose of ascertaining the
Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor,
the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 3. In the event
that the Trustee determines, in good
8
faith, that evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a
holder of Senior Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article 3, the Trustee may request such
Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to
the amount of Senior Indebtedness of such Subsidiary Guarantor held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person
under this Article 3, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may
defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right
of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of Sections 7.01 and 7.02
of the Indenture shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of actions by
the Trustee pursuant to this Article 3.
Section 3.13. Trustee To Effectuate Subordination. Each Securityholder
-----------------------------------
by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take
such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the
subordination between the Securityholders and the holders of Senior Indebtedness
of any Subsidiary Guarantor as provided in this Article 3 and appoints the
Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Section 3.14. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness
--------------------------------------------------------
of Subsidiary Guarantor. The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary
- -----------------------
duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor and shall
not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute
to Securityholders or the Issuer or any other Person, money or assets to which
any holders of such Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article 3 or otherwise.
Section 3.15. Reliance by Holders of Senior Indebtedness on
---------------------------------------------
Subordination Provisions. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
- ------------------------
acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing subordination provisions are, and are
intended to be, an inducement and a consideration to each holder of any Senior
Indebtedness of any Subsidiary Guarantor, whether such Senior Indebtedness was
created or acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire
and continue to hold, or to continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such
holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on
such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold, or in
continuing to hold, such Senior Indebtedness.
