The recitals contained in this Trust Securities Guarantee shall be taken as the statements of the Guarantor, and the Trust Securities Guarantee Trustee does not assume any responsibility for their correctness. The Trust Securities Guarantee Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Trust Securities Guarantee.
10
11
The Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to pay in full to the Holders the Guarantee Payments (without duplication of amounts theretofore paid by the Issuer), as and when due, regardless of any defense, right of set-off or counterclaim that the Issuer may have or assert. The Guarantor’s obligation to make a Guarantee Payment may be satisfied by direct payment of the required amounts by the Guarantor to the Holders or by causing the Issuer to pay such amounts to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Indenture Event of Default by the Debenture Issuer (as defined in the Declaration), then the Guarantor will not pay any Distribution, Redemption Price or Liquidation Distribution to the holders of the Trust Common Securities until making payment (or causing the Issuer to make payment) in full and in cash of all accumulated and unpaid Distributions to holders of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities for all distribution periods terminating on or prior thereto, and in the case of payment of the Redemption Price or a Liquidation Distribution, the full amount of the Redemption Price or Liquidation Distribution to holders of the outstanding Trust Preferred Securities then called for redemption or liquidation.
The Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance of this Trust Securities Guarantee and of any liability to which it applies or may apply, presentment, demand for payment, any right to
12
require a proceeding first against the Issuer or any other Person before proceeding against the Guarantor, protest, notice of nonpayment, notice of dishonor, notice of redemption and all other notices and demands.
The obligations, covenants, agreements and duties of the Guarantor under this Trust Securities Guarantee shall in no way be affected or impaired by reason of the happening from time to time of any of the following:
There shall be no obligation of the Holders to give notice to, or obtain consent of, the Guarantor with respect to the happening of any of the foregoing.
No setoff, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature that the Guarantor has or may have against any Holder (except the defense of
13
payment to such Holder) shall be available hereunder to the Guarantor against such Holder to reduce the payments to it under this Trust Securities Guarantee.
This Trust Securities Guarantee creates a guarantee of payment and not of collection. If an event of default exists with respect to the Debentures that is attributable to the Guarantor’s failure to pay principal of or an interest payment on the Debentures on a payment date, then any Holder may institute a direct action against the Guarantor pursuant to the terms of the Indenture for enforcement of payment to that Holder of the principal of or interest on such Debentures having a principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Trust Securities of the Holder.
The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all (if any) rights of the Holders against the Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to such Holders by the Guarantor under this Trust Securities Guarantee; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Guarantor shall not (except to the extent required by mandatory provisions of law) be entitled to enforce or exercise any right that it may acquire by way of subrogation or any indemnity, reimbursement or other agreement, in all cases as a result of payment under this Trust Securities Guarantee, if, at the time of any such payment, any amounts are due and unpaid under this Trust Securities Guarantee. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence, the Guarantor agrees to hold such amount in trust for the Holders and to pay over such amount to the Holders.
The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Trust Securities, and that the Guarantor shall be
14
liable as principal and as debtor hereunder to make Guarantee Payments pursuant to the terms of this Trust Securities Guarantee notwithstanding the occurrence of any event referred to in subsections (a) through (g), inclusive, of Section 5.3 hereof.
So long as any Trust Securities remain outstanding, the Guarantor shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Guarantor’s capital stock, (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Guarantor (including any Other Debentures) that rank pari passu with or junior in right of payment to the Debentures or (iii) make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Guarantor of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Guarantor (including Other Guarantees) if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in right of payment to the Debentures, if at such time (i) there shall have occurred any event that would be an Indenture Event of Default and the Guarantor has not taken reasonable steps to cure such event, (ii) if such Debentures are held by the Property Trustee, the Guarantor shall be in default with respect to its payment of any obligations under this Trust Securities Guarantee or (iii) the Guarantor shall have given notice of its election of the exercise of its right to extend the interest payment period pursuant to Section 16.01 of the Indenture and any such extension shall be continuing. The restrictions set forth in the preceding sentence shall not, however, apply to the following: (a) dividends or distributions in shares of, or options, warrants, rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, common stock of the Guarantor, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (c) payments under the Trust Securities Guarantee, (d) a reclassification of the Guarantor’s capital stock or the exchange or conversion of one class or series of the Guarantor’s capital stock for another series of the Guarantor’s capital stock, (e) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Guarantor’s capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged and (f) purchases of the Guarantor’s common stock pursuant to any of the Guarantor’s employee, director or agent benefit plans, dividend reinvestment plans, stock purchase plans or other contractual obligation of the Guarantor other than a contractual obligation ranking equally with or junior to the Debentures.
15
This Trust Securities Guarantee shall terminate and be of no further force and effect upon: (i) full payment of the Redemption Price (including all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts) of all outstanding Trust Preferred Securities, (ii) the full payment of the liquidation amount (including all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts) payable upon liquidation of the Issuer in accordance with the Declaration, (iii) the distribution of the Debentures to the Holders or (iv) the distribution of amounts deliverable by the Guarantor upon conversion of all outstanding Trust Preferred Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Trust Securities Guarantee will continue to be effective or will be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any Holder must restore payment of any sums paid under the Trust Securities or under this Trust Securities Guarantee.
16
The Guarantor agrees to indemnify and defend each Indemnified Person for, and to hold each Indemnified Person harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense incurred, including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trust Guarantee Trustee), without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including advancement of the costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of defending itself against, or investigating, any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The obligation to indemnify and provide advancement as set forth in this Section 8.2 shall survive the termination of this Trust Securities Guarantee and the resignation or removal of the Trust Securities Guarantee Trustee.
All guarantees and agreements contained in this Trust Securities Guarantee shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of the Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Holders then outstanding.
Except with respect to any changes that do not materially adversely affect the rights of Holders (in which case no consent of Holders will be required), this Trust Securities Guarantee may only be amended with the prior approval of the Holders of a Majority in Liquidation Amount of the Trust Preferred Securities. The provisions of the Declaration with respect to consents to amendments thereof (whether at a meeting or otherwise) shall apply to the giving of such approval.
