Each Lender’s obligation to pay such amount shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender may have against the Issuing Bank, Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default or the failure to satisfy any of the other conditions specified in Section 3, (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of Borrower, (D) any breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Lender, or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(iii) Reimbursement. If the Issuing Bank shall make any disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Bank in respect of such disbursement as directed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank in a joint written instruction, by paying to the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Bank, as so directed, an amount equal to such disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Eastern time, on (x) the Business Day that Borrower receives notice of such disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Eastern time, or (y) the Business Day immediately following the day that Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time, provided that, if Borrower fails to make such payment when due on any amount of such disbursement, (A) the Issuing Bank will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such disbursement and the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of such disbursement and its Letter of Credit Percentage thereof, and each Lender shall pay to the Issuing Bank upon demand at the Issuing Bank’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such Lender’s Letter of Credit Percentage of such disbursement (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral provided for this purpose) and (B) the unreimbursed amount shall be deemed an Advance under Section 2.02(a) regardless of whether the conditions specified in Section 3 are satisfied. The obligation of Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuing Bank for drawings made under Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Letter of Credit Applications, and such Letters of Credit, under all circumstances whatsoever.

(iv) Defaulting Lenders. In the event there is a Defaulting Lender as of the date of any request for the issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue or arrange for such Letter of Credit to the extent (A) the Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure with respect to such Letter of Credit may not be reallocated pursuant to Section 2.08(d), or (B) the Issuing Bank has not otherwise entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and Borrower to eliminate the Issuing Bank’s risk with respect to the participation in such Letter of Credit of the Defaulting Lender, which arrangements may include Borrower providing Cash Collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s Letter of Credit Exposure in accordance with Section 2.08(e).

(v) Resignation of the Issuing Bank. The Issuing Bank may resign at any time by giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may designate a Lender to act as an issuing bank under the terms of

 

-27-


this Agreement with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and such Lender. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a Lender that shall agree to serve as successor Issuing Bank, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the interests, rights and obligations of the retiring Issuing Bank and the retiring Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its obligations to issue additional Letters of Credit hereunder without affecting its rights and obligations with respect to Letters of Credit previously issued by it. At the time such resignation shall become effective, Borrower shall pay all accrued and unpaid fees for the account of the retired Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.05. The acceptance of any appointment as the Issuing Bank hereunder by a successor Lender shall be evidenced by an agreement entered into by such successor, in a form satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (A) such successor Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of the previous Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the Loan Documents and (B) references herein and in the Loan Documents to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation of the Issuing Bank hereunder, the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of the Issuing Bank under this Agreement and the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

2.03. Overadvances. If, at any time, the Total Outstandings exceed the lesser of the Revolving Line and the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent in cash the amount of such excess (such excess, the “Overadvance”) for application against the Total Outstandings in accordance with the terms hereof. Without limiting Borrower’s obligation to repay any Overadvance, Borrower agrees to pay interest on the outstanding amount of any Overadvance, on demand, at the Default Rate.

2.04. Payment of Interest on the Credit Extensions.

(a) Advances. Subject to Section 2.04(b), the principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Line shall accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period therefor plus three percent (3.00%) (the “Applicable Rate”), which interest shall be payable monthly in accordance with Section 2.04(d) below. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event any Advances accrue interest at a floating per annum rate equal to the ABR as a result of any of the events described in Section 12.19, the Applicable Rate shall be two percent (2.00%).

(b) Default Rate. Immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all Obligations shall bear interest at a rate per annum which is five percent (5.00%) above the rate that is otherwise applicable thereto (the “Default Rate”). Fees and expenses which are required to be paid by Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Bank Expenses) but are not paid when due shall bear interest until paid at a rate equal to the highest rate applicable to the Obligations inclusive of the Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased interest rate provided in this Section 2.04(b) is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders.

(c) Adjustment to Interest Rate. Changes to the interest rate of any Credit Extension based on changes to the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective on the effective date of any change to the Adjusted LIBO Rate and to the extent of any such change.

(d) Payment; Interest Computation. Interest is payable monthly on the first Business Day of each calendar month and shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of

 

-28-


days elapsed, except that interest computed by reference to the ABR shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). In computing interest, (i) all payments received after 12:00 p.m. Eastern time on any day shall be deemed received at the opening of business on the next Business Day, and (ii) the date of the making of any Credit Extension shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any Credit Extension is repaid on the same day on which it is made, such day shall be included in computing interest on such Credit Extension.

2.05. Fees. Borrower shall pay:

(a) Fee Letter. Fees to the applicable Person, in the amounts and at the times specified in the applicable Fee Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) Commitment Fee. To the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Lenders (determined in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages), a commitment fee equal to one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum times the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Line exceeds the Total Outstandings. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Section 3 is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Effective Date, and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date. The commitment fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.

(c) Letter of Credit Fees.

(i) To the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders (determined in accordance with their respective Letter of Credit Percentages), a fully earned, non-refundable letter of credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued equal to one percent (1.00%) per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under each such Letter of Credit, in each case due and payable quarterly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance date of such Letter of Credit and on the Revolving Line Maturity Date. The letter of credit fee shall be computed on a quarterly basis in arrears.

(ii) To the Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee of one eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum times the daily amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit and (B) the Issuing Bank’s standard costs, expenses and fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued for the account of (or at the request of) the Borrower or processing of drawings thereunder in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s form of standard application and letter of credit agreement.

(iii) Any letter of credit fees otherwise payable for the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the Issuing Bank shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to the other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Letter of Credit Percentages allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.08(d), with the balance of such fee, if any, payable to the Issuing Bank for its own account.

(d) Bank Expenses. All Bank Expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses for documentation and negotiation of this Agreement) incurred through and after the Effective Date, when due (or, if no stated due date, upon demand by the Administrative Agent).

 

-29-


(e) Fees Fully Earned. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or in a separate writing by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, Borrower shall not be entitled to any credit, rebate, or repayment of any fees earned by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Agreement notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement or the suspension or termination of the Lenders’ obligation to make loans and advances and the Issuing Bank’s obligation to issue Letters of Credit hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its option, deduct amounts owing by Borrower under the clauses of this Section 2.05 pursuant to the terms of Section 2.06(c). The Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower written notice of deductions made from the Designated Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of the clauses of this Section 2.05.

2.06. Payments; Application of Payments; Debit of Accounts; Pro Rata Treatment.

(a) All payments to be made by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made in immediately available funds in Dollars, without setoff or counterclaim, before 2:00 p.m. Eastern time on the date when due. Payments of principal and/or interest received after 2:00 p.m. Eastern time are considered received at the opening of business on the next Business Day. When a payment is due on a day that is not a Business Day, the payment shall be due the next Business Day, and additional fees or interest, as applicable, shall continue to accrue until paid.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall apply payments received with respect to the Obligations, first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent (or the Issuing Bank), second, to pay interest then due and payable on any Credit Extension, third, to prepay principal on the Credit Extensions and unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements and to pay any amounts owing in respect of Bank Services, fourth, if the Obligations consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank equal to (i) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then one hundred five percent (105.0%), and (ii) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of all such Letters of Credit plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by the Administrative Agent in its business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, and fifth, to the payment of any other Obligation due to the Secured Parties from the Borrower. Borrower shall have no right to specify the order or the accounts to which the Administrative Agent shall allocate or apply any payments required to be made by Borrower to the Administrative Agent or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement when any such allocation or application is not specified elsewhere in this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the applicable Secured Parties promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.

(c) The Administrative Agent may, at its option, debit any of Borrower’s deposit accounts, including the Designated Deposit Account, for principal and interest payments or any other amounts Borrower owes any Secured Party when due.

(d) Each borrowing by Borrower from the Lenders hereunder, each payment by Borrower on account of any commitment fee and any reduction of the Letter of Credit Commitments or Revolving Line Commitments shall be made pro rata according to the respective Letter of Credit Percentages or Aggregate Exposure Percentages, as the case may be, of the relevant Lenders.

(e) Each payment (including each prepayment) by Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Advances shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Advances then held by the Lenders.

 

-30-


(f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to the proposed date of any Advance that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with this Section 2 and Section 3, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date therefor, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith, on demand, such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date on which such amount is made available to Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, a rate equal to the greater of (A) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (B) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the rate per annum equal to the ABR plus two percent (2.00%). If Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

(g) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of Administrative Agent or any Lender against Borrower.

(h) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the provisions of this Section 2 and Section 3, and such funds are not made available to Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable extension of credit set forth in Section 3 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(i) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to (i) make Advances, (ii) to fund its participations in Letter of Credit disbursements in accordance with its respective Letter of Credit Percentage and (iii) to make payments pursuant to Section 13.07, as applicable, are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any such Advance, to fund any such participation or to make any such payment under Section 13.07 on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 13.07.

(j) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.

 

-31-


(k) If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise) on account of the principal of or interest on any Advance made by it, its participation in the Letter of Credit Exposure or other obligations hereunder, as applicable (other than pursuant to a provision hereof providing for non-pro rata treatment), in excess of its Aggregate Exposure Percentage or Letter of Credit Percentage, as applicable, of such payment on account of the Advances or participations obtained by all of the Lenders, such Lender shall (i) notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of such payment, and (ii) within five (5) Business Days of such receipt purchase (for cash at face value) from the other Lenders (through the Administrative Agent), without recourse, such participations in the Advances made by them and/or participations in the Letter of Credit Exposure held by them, as applicable, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentage or Letter of Credit Percentage, as applicable; provided that (A) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (B) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in disbursements under Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrower or any of its Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.06(k) may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. No documentation other than notices and the like referred to in this Section 2.06(k) shall be required to implement the terms of this Section 2.06(k). The Administrative Agent shall keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased pursuant to this Section 2.06(k) and shall in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchase. The provisions of this Section 2.06(k) shall not be construed to apply to (1) any payment made by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (2) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 4.01(c), or (3) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or sub-participations in any Letter of Credit Exposure to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply). Borrower consents on behalf of itself and each Subsidiary to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower and each Subsidiary rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(l) If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward payment of interest and fees and Overadvances then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees and Overadvances then due to such parties, and (ii) second, toward payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(m) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion at any time or from time to time, without Borrower’s request and even if the conditions set forth in Section 3 would not be satisfied, make an Advance in an amount equal to the portion of the Obligations constituting overdue interest and fees from time to time due and payable to itself, any Lender or the Issuing Bank, and apply the proceeds of any such Advance to those Obligations; provided that after giving effect to any such Advance, the aggregate outstanding Advances will not exceed the Revolving Line then in effect.

2.07. Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 12.19, or requires Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to such Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of such Lender pursuant to Section 12.10, then such Lender shall (at the request of Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Advances hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 12.19 or 12.10, as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Substitution of Lenders. Upon the receipt by Borrower of any of the following (or in the case of clause (i) below, if Borrower is required to pay any such amount), with respect to any Lender (any such Lender described in clauses (i) through (iii) below being referred to as an “Affected Lender” hereunder):

(i) a request from a Lender for payment of Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts under Section 12.10 or pursuant to Section 12.19 (and, in any such case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.07(a) or is a Non-Consenting Lender); or

(ii) notice from the Administrative Agent that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender;

then Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender: (i) request that one or more of the other Lenders acquire and assume all or part of such Affected Lender’s Advances, Letter of Credit Commitment and Revolving Line Commitment; or (ii) designate a replacement lending institution (which shall be an Eligible Assignee) to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Advances, Letter of Credit Commitment and Revolving Line Commitment (the replacing Lender or lender in (i) or (ii) being a “Replacement Lender”); provided, however, that Borrower shall be liable for the payment upon demand of all costs and other amounts arising under Section 12.19 that result from the acquisition of any Affected Lender’s Advances, Letter of Credit Commitment and/or Revolving Line Commitment (or any portion thereof) by a Lender or Replacement Lender, as the case may be, on a date other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period with respect to any Advances then outstanding; and provided further, however, that if Borrower elects to exercise such right with respect to any Affected Lender under clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 2.07(b), then Borrower shall be obligated to replace all Affected Lenders under such clauses. The Affected Lender replaced pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) shall be required to assign and delegate, without recourse, all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents to one or more Replacement Lenders that so agree to acquire and assume all or a ratable part of such Affected Lender’s Advances, Letter of Credit Commitment and Revolving Line Commitment upon payment to such Affected Lender of an amount (in the aggregate for all Replacement Lenders) equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of the Affected Lender’s Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the Loan Documents from such Replacement Lenders (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including amounts under Section 12.19 hereof). Any such designation of a Replacement Lender shall be effected in accordance with, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the assignment provisions

 

-33-


contained in Section 12.02 (with the assignment fee to be paid by Borrower in such instance), and, if such Replacement Lender is not already a Lender hereunder or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.07(b), (A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 12.19 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 12.10, such assignment shall result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and (B) such assignment shall not conflict with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Affected Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Affected Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

2.08. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(a) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 12.07 and in the definition of Required Lenders.

(b) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 9 or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 12.13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank; third, to be held as Cash Collateral for the funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a Deposit Account and released pro rata to (i) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Advances under this Agreement, and (ii) be held as Cash Collateral for the future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any future Letter of Credit; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Lender or the Issuing Bank as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or the Issuing Bank against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (A) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advances or unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (B) such Advances or unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of, and unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of, or unreimbursed Letter of Credit disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Exposure are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their applicable Letter of Credit Commitments and Revolving Line Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.08(d). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(b) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

-34-


(c) Certain Fees.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.05(b) for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be limited in its right to receive letter of credit fees as provided in Section 2.05(c).

(iii) With respect to any letter of credit fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (A) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) below, (B) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (C) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(d) Reallocation of Pro Rata Share to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit, the Letter of Credit Percentage of each Non-Defaulting Lender of any such Letter of Credit shall be computed without giving effect to the Letter of Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and (ii) the aggregate obligations of each Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Line Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the aggregate outstanding amount of the Advances of that Lender plus the aggregate amount of that Lender’s Letter of Credit Percentage of then outstanding Letters of Credit. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(e) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth herein.

(f) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages and Letter of Credit

(g) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure in respect of Letters of Credit after giving effect thereto.

(h) Termination of Defaulting Lender. Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Line Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender upon not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.08(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

-38-


(b) Borrower acknowledges that it previously has entered, and/or may in the future enter, into Bank Services Agreements with any Lender or Lender’s Affiliates. Regardless of the terms of any Bank Services Agreement, Borrower agrees that any amounts Borrower owes such Lender or such Lender’s Affiliates thereunder shall be deemed to be Obligations hereunder and that it is the intent of Borrower, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to have all such Obligations secured by the first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral granted herein (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to the Administrative Agent’s Lien in this Agreement).

(c) If this Agreement is terminated, the Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral shall continue until the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) are repaid in full in cash. Upon payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations) and at such time as the Lenders’ and the Issuing Bank’s obligations to make Credit Extensions has terminated, the Administrative Agent shall, at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, release its Liens in the Collateral and all rights therein shall revert to Borrower. In the event (i) all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations), except for Bank Services, are satisfied in full, and (ii) this Agreement is terminated, the Administrative Agent shall terminate the security interest granted herein upon Borrower providing Cash Collateral acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its good faith business judgment for Bank Services, if any. In the event such Bank Services consist of outstanding Letters of Credit, Borrower shall, at Borrower’s election, either (A) provide to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Bank Cash Collateral in an amount equal to (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the applicable Letter of Credit Exposure, plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by the Administrative Agent in its good faith business judgment), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, or (B) make arrangements otherwise satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover one hundred five percent (105.0%) of the Fronting Exposure relating to the Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars and one hundred ten percent (110.0%) of the Dollar Equivalent of the Fronting Exposure relating to the Letters of Credit denominated in a Foreign Currency (after giving effect to Section 2.08(d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender). All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts with the Administrative Agent. Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender or Defaulting Lender, such Lender or Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest and Lien in all such Cash Collateral and in all proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to this Agreement. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable amount specified in this Section or the amount of the Obligations secured thereby, the Borrower or the relevant Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender).

4.02. Priority of Security Interest. Borrower represents, warrants, and covenants that the security interest granted herein is and shall at all times continue to be a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject only to Permitted Liens that are permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement to have superior priority to the Administrative Agent’s Lien under this Agreement). If Borrower shall

 

-39-


acquire a commercial tort claim, Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the general details thereof in the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered under this Agreement following such event and shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in a writing signed by the Borrower and delivered with such Compliance Certificate a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

4.03. Authorization to File Financing Statements. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file financing statements, without notice to Borrower, with all appropriate jurisdictions to perfect or protect the Administrative Agent’s interest or rights hereunder, including a notice that any disposition of the Collateral, by either Borrower or any other Person, shall be deemed to violate the rights of the Administrative Agent under the UCC. Such financing statements may indicate the Collateral as “all assets of the Debtor” or words of similar effect, or as being of an equal or lesser scope, or with greater detail, all in the Administrative Agent’s discretion.

4.04. Pledged Collateral.

(a) Promptly following receipt by Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent all certificates or other instruments representing or evidencing any Pledged Interests, accompanied by appropriate duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment (including, without limitation, stock powers) in blank, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Perfection Certificate identifies which Pledged Interests are certificated as of the Effective Date. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.04(b) below, Borrower shall receive all certificates, cash, instruments, and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable, or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Interests in trust for the Administrative Agent, and shall promptly upon receipt deliver to the Administrative Agent such certificates, cash, instruments, and other property and proceeds, together with any necessary endorsement.

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) Borrower shall have the right to vote and give consents with respect to the Pledged Interests or any other Collateral for all purposes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast, and no consent shall be given or action taken, which would have the effect of impairing the position or interest of the Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral.

(ii) Borrower shall be entitled to collect and receive for Borrower’s own use, and shall not be required to pledge pursuant to Sections 4.01 or 6.12, any cash dividends, proceeds or distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Interests, except such dividends, proceeds or distributions as are prohibited under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided, however, that until actually paid, all rights to any such permitted dividends, proceeds or distributions shall remain subject to the Lien created by this Agreement. All dividends, proceeds or distributions in respect of any of the Pledged Interests of Borrower whenever paid or made (other than such cash dividends, proceeds or distributions as are permitted to be paid to Borrower in accordance with this clause (ii)) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as Collateral and shall, if recovered by Borrower, be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, be segregated from the other property or funds of Borrower, and be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent as Collateral.

Section 9 Rights and Remedies.

9.01. Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, without notice or demand, do any or all of the following:

(a) declare all Obligations immediately due and payable (but if an Event of Default described in Section 8.05 occurs all Obligations are immediately due and payable without any action by the Administrative Agent);

(b) stop advancing money or extending credit for Borrower’s benefit under this Agreement or under any other agreement between Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender;

(c) demand that Borrower (i) deposit Cash Collateral with the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to at least (x) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in Dollars, then at least one hundred five percent (105.0%); and (y) if such Letters of Credit are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then at least one hundred ten percent (110.0%), of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate face amount of all Letters of Credit remaining undrawn (plus all interest, fees, and costs due or to become due in connection therewith (as estimated by the Administrative Agent in its good faith business judgment)), to secure all of the Obligations relating to such Letters of Credit, as collateral security for the repayment of any future drawings under such Letters of Credit, and Borrower shall forthwith deposit and pay such amounts, and (ii) pay in advance all letter of credit fees scheduled to be paid or payable over the remaining term of any Letters of Credit;

(d) terminate any FX Contracts;

(e) verify the amount of, demand payment of and performance under, and collect any Accounts and General Intangibles, settle or adjust disputes and claims directly with Account Debtors for amounts on terms and in any order that the Administrative Agent considers advisable, and notify any Person owing Borrower money of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in such funds;

(f) make any payments and do any acts it considers necessary or reasonable to protect the Collateral and/or its security interest in the Collateral. Borrower shall assemble the Collateral if the Administrative Agent requests and make it available as the Administrative Agent designates. The Administrative Agent may enter premises where the Collateral is located, take and maintain possession of any part of the Collateral, and pay, purchase, contest, or compromise any Lien which appears to be prior or superior to its security interest and pay all expenses incurred. Borrower grants the Administrative Agent a license to enter and occupy any of its premises, without charge, to exercise any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies;

 

-56-


(g) apply to the Obligations any (i) balances and deposits of Borrower the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates holds, or (ii) any amount held by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates owing to or for the credit or the account of Borrower;

(h) place a “hold” on any account maintained with the Administrative Agent and/or deliver a notice of exclusive control, any entitlement order, or other directions or instructions pursuant to any Control Agreement or similar agreements providing control of any Collateral (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to the Administrative Agent by Borrower as such);

(i) demand and receive possession of Borrower’s Books; and

(j) exercise all rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or any Bank Services Agreement or at law or equity, including all remedies provided under the UCC (including disposal of the Collateral pursuant to the terms thereof).

9.02. Power of Attorney. Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact, exercisable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to: (a) endorse Borrower’s name on any checks or other forms of payment or security; (b) sign Borrower’s name on any invoice or bill of lading for any Account or drafts against Account Debtors; (c) settle and adjust disputes and claims about the Accounts directly with Account Debtors; (d) make, settle, and adjust all claims under Borrower’s insurance policies; (e) pay, contest or settle any Lien, charge, encumbrance, security interest, and adverse claim in or to the Collateral, or any judgment based thereon, or otherwise take any action to terminate or discharge the same; and (f) transfer the Collateral into the name of the Administrative Agent or a third party as the UCC permits. Borrower hereby appoints the Administrative Agent as its lawful attorney-in-fact to sign Borrower’s name on any documents necessary to perfect or continue the perfection of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred until all Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Lenders and the Issuing Bank are under no further obligation to make Credit Extensions hereunder. The Administrative Agent’s foregoing appointment as Borrower’s attorney in fact, and all of the Administrative Agent’s rights and powers, coupled with an interest, are irrevocable until all Obligations have been fully repaid and performed and the Lenders’ and the Issuing Bank’s obligations to provide Credit Extensions terminates.

9.03. Protective Payments. If Borrower fails to obtain the insurance called for by Section 6.07 or fails to pay any premium thereon or fails to pay any other amount which Borrower is obligated to pay under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or which may be required to preserve the Collateral, the Administrative Agent may obtain such insurance or make such payment, and all amounts so paid by the Administrative Agent are Bank Expenses and immediately due and payable, bearing interest at the then highest rate applicable to the Obligations, and secured by the Collateral. The Administrative Agent will make reasonable efforts to provide Borrower with notice of the Administrative Agent obtaining such insurance at the time it is obtained or within a reasonable time thereafter. No payments by the Administrative Agent are deemed an agreement to make similar payments in the future or the Administrative Agent’s waiver of any Event of Default.

9.04. Application of Payments and Proceeds Upon Default. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to apply in any order any funds in its possession and constituting Collateral (other than deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll

 

-57-


taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to the Administrative Agent by Borrower as such), whether from Borrower account balances, payments, proceeds realized as the result of any collection of Accounts or other disposition of the Collateral, or otherwise, to the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall pay any surplus to Borrower by credit to the Designated Deposit Account or to other Persons legally entitled thereto; Borrower shall remain liable to the Secured Parties for any deficiency.

9.05. Administrative Agent’s Liability for Collateral. So long as the Administrative Agent complies with reasonable banking practices regarding the safekeeping of the Collateral in the possession or under the control of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for: (a) the safekeeping of the Collateral; (b) any loss or damage to the Collateral; (c) any diminution in the value of the Collateral; or (d) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, or other Person. Borrower bears all risk of loss, damage or destruction of the Collateral.

9.06. No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Any Secured Party’s failure, at any time or times, to require strict performance by Borrower of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Bank Services Agreement shall not waive, affect, or diminish any right of any Secured Party thereafter to demand strict performance and compliance herewith or therewith. No waiver hereunder shall be effective unless signed by the party granting the waiver and then is only effective for the specific instance and purpose for which it is given. The Secured Parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any Bank Services Agreement are cumulative. Each Secured Party has all rights and remedies provided under the UCC, by law, or in equity. Any Secured Party’s exercise of one right or remedy is not an election and shall not preclude any Secured Party from exercising any other remedy under this Agreement or other remedy available at law or in equity, and any Secured Party’s waiver of any Event of Default is not a continuing waiver. Any Secured Party’s delay in exercising any remedy is not a waiver, election, or acquiescence.

9.07. Demand Waiver. Borrower waives demand, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, notice of any default, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of accounts, documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees held by and the Administrative Agent or any Lender on which Borrower is liable.

Section 10 Notices.

Section 11 Choice of Law, Venue, and Jury Trial Waiver.

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating thereto (except, as to any Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated by such documents shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, without regard to conflicts of law principles except Title 14 of Article 5 of the New York General Obligations law. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and of any federal court located in the Borough of Manhattan in such State in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any action taken or omitted hereunder, and waives any claim of forum non conveniens and any objections as to laying of venue.

This Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 12 General Provisions.

12.01. Termination Prior to Revolving Line Maturity Date; Survival. All covenants, representations and warranties made in this Agreement shall continue in full force until this Agreement has terminated pursuant to its terms and all Obligations have been satisfied. So long as Borrower has satisfied the Obligations (other than inchoate indemnity obligations, any other obligations which, by their terms, are to survive the termination of this Agreement, and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 4.01 of this Agreement), this Agreement may be terminated prior to the Revolving Line Maturity Date by Borrower, effective three (3) Business Days after written notice of termination is given to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Those obligations that are expressly specified in this Agreement as surviving this Agreement’s termination shall continue to survive notwithstanding this Agreement’s termination.

12.02. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement binds and is for the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of each party. Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations under it without the Required Lenders’ prior written consent (which may be granted or withheld in the Required Lenders’ discretion). Each Lender has the right, without the consent of Borrower, to sell, transfer, assign or negotiate all or any part of, or any interest in, such Lender’s obligations, rights, and benefits under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. So long as no Event of Default is continuing, such Lender shall provide Borrower with 5 Business Days’ prior notice of any such assignment; provided that the failure to provide such notice to Borrower shall not affect the validity of such assignment or result in any liability of such Lender.

(b) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Advance or the Revolving Line Commitment assigned.

(c) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except:

(i) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Revolving Line Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender; and

(ii) the consent of the Issuing Bank shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Letter of Credit Commitment.

(d) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any such administrative questionnaire as the Administrative Agent may request.

(e) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A) Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).

 

-60-


(f) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust established for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).

(g) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its applicable Aggregate Exposure Percentage and Letter of Credit Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (h) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.03, 12.10 and 12.19 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (i) of this Section.

(h) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Revolving Line Commitments and Letter of Credit Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Advances owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

-61-


(i) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a holding company, investment vehicle or trust established for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or Borrower or any of Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Line Commitment and/or the Advances owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnities under Sections 12.10(e) and 13.07 with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver which affects such Participant and for which the consent of such Lender is required (as described in Section 12.07). Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 12.10 and 12.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 12.10(f) shall be delivered by such Participant to the Lender granting such participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.02(b); provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 as if it were an assignee under Section 12.02(b); and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 12.10 or 12.19, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in any Requirement of Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.07 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.13 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.06(k) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(j) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

-62-


(k) Representations and Warranties of Lenders. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon succeeding to an interest in the Revolving Line Commitments or Advances, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Effective Date or as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment and Assumption that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments, loans or investments such as the Revolving Line Commitments and Advances; and (iii) it will make or invest in its Revolving Line Commitments and Advances for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Revolving Line Commitments and Advances within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended from time to time and any successor statute, or the Exchange Act, or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section 12.02, the disposition of such Revolving Line Commitments and Advances or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control).

12.03. Indemnification.

(a) Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender (including the Issuing Bank), and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless against: (i) all obligations, demands, claims, and liabilities (collectively, “Claims”) claimed or asserted by any other party in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and any Bank Services Agreement; and (ii) all losses or expenses (including Bank Expenses) in any way suffered, incurred, or paid by such Indemnified Person as a result of, following from, or arising from transactions between Borrower and any Secured Party (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except for Claims and/or losses directly (x) caused by any Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction or (y) resulting from a claim brought by Borrower against an Indemnified Person for any material breach of such Indemnified Person’s obligations hereunder or under another Loan Document, if Borrower has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. This Section 12.03(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or expenses arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) To the extent that Borrower for any reason fails indefeasibly to pay any Bank Expenses, any amount required under Section 12.11 or any amount required under paragraph (a) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Issuing Bank or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Outstandings at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Issuing Bank in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this paragraph (b) are subject to the provisions of Sections 2.02 and 12.10.

(c) This Section 12.03 shall survive until all statutes of limitation with respect to the Claims, losses, and expenses for which indemnity is given shall have run.

12.04. Time of Essence. Time is of the essence for the performance of all Obligations in this Agreement.

12.05. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement is severable from every other provision in determining the enforceability of any provision. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of

 

-63-


this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited under or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

12.06. Amended and Restated Agreement.

(a) This Agreement amends and restates, in its entirety, and replaces, the Prior Loan Agreement and, upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, the terms and provisions of the Prior Loan Agreement shall, subject to Section 12.06(c), be superseded hereby.

(b) Notwithstanding the amendment and restatement of the Prior Loan Agreement by this Agreement, all of the Obligations under the Prior Loan Agreement which remain outstanding as of the date hereof shall constitute Obligations owing hereunder. This Agreement is given in substitution for the Prior Loan Agreement, and not as payment of the Obligations of the Borrower thereunder, and is in no way intended to constitute a novation of the Prior Loan Agreement.

(c) Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, unless the context otherwise requires, each reference to the Prior Loan Agreement in any of the Loan Documents and in each document, instrument or agreement executed and/or delivered in connection therewith shall mean and be a reference to this Agreement. Except as expressly modified as of the Effective Date, all of the other Loan Documents shall remain in full force and effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed.

(a) Neither this Agreement, any Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.07. The Required Lenders, Borrower and each Subsidiary party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, Borrower and each Subsidiary party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Borrower or Subsidiaries hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Advance, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenant in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (A)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Lender’s Revolving Line Commitment or Letter of Credit Commitment without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 12.07 without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiaries that become a co-borrowers hereunder

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon Borrower, the Subsidiaries party to any Loan Documents, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank, each Secured Party providing Bank Services, and all future holders of the Advances. In the case of any waiver, Borrower, the Subsidiaries party to any Loan Documents, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured during the period such waiver is effective; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, any Bank Service Agreement may be amended or otherwise modified by the parties thereto in accordance with the terms thereof without the consent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, no Secured Party providing Bank Services shall have any voting or approval rights hereunder (or be deemed a Lender) solely by virtue of its status as the provider or holder of Bank Services or Obligations owing thereunder, nor shall the consent of any such Person be required for any matter, other than in their capacities as Lenders, to the extent applicable.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no oral promise or statement, nor any action, inaction, delay, failure to require performance or course of conduct shall operate as, or evidence, an amendment, supplement or waiver or have any other effect on any Loan Document. The Loan Documents represent the entire agreement about this subject matter and supersede prior negotiations or agreements. All prior agreements, understandings, representations, warranties, and negotiations between the parties about the subject matter of the Loan Documents merge into the Loan Documents.

12.08. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, is an original, and all taken together, constitute one Agreement.

12.09. Confidentiality. In handling any confidential information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their business, each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall exercise the same degree of care that it exercises for its own proprietary information, but disclosure of information by such Person may be made: (a) to its Affiliates and Related Parties; (b) to prospective transferees or purchasers of any interest in the Credit Extensions, Revolving Line Commitments or Letter of Credit Commitments (provided, however, such Person shall obtain any prospective transferee’s or purchaser’s agreement to the terms of this provision or to terms substantially the same as those of this provision); (c) as required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other order; (d) to such Person’s regulators or as otherwise required in connection with such Person’s examination or audit; (e) as such Person considers appropriate in exercising remedies under the Loan Documents; and (f) to third-party service providers of such Person so long as such service providers have executed a confidentiality agreement with such Person with terms no less restrictive than

 

-65-


those contained herein. Confidential information does not include information that is either: (i) in the public domain or in a Person’s possession when disclosed to such Person, or becomes part of the public domain (other than as a result of its disclosure by such Person in violation of this Agreement) after disclosure to such Person; or (ii) disclosed to a Person by a third party, if such Person does not know that the third party is prohibited from disclosing the information. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates and Related Parties may use confidential information for the development of databases, reporting purposes, and market analysis so long as such confidential information is aggregated and anonymized prior to distribution unless otherwise expressly permitted by Borrower. The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.10. Taxes. For purposes of this Section 12.10, the term “Lender” includes the Issuing Bank and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by the Administrative Agent or Borrower, then the Administrative Agent or Borrower, as applicable, shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, and, if such Tax is imposed on or with respect to any payment made by or on account of any obligation of Borrower under any Loan Document (an “Indemnified Tax”), then the sum payable by Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. For the avoidance of doubt, Indemnified Taxes shall not include Excluded Taxes.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary to, timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes applicable to Borrower or such Subsidiary.

(c) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 12.10, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower hereby indemnifies each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant governmental authority. Promptly upon having knowledge that any such Indemnified Taxes have been levied, imposed or assessed, and promptly upon notice the Administrative Agent, Borrower shall pay such Indemnified Taxes directly to the relevant taxing authority or governmental authority; provided that Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide any such notice to Borrower. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. If Borrower fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

 

-66-


(e) Indemnification by Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.02 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement or any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 12.10(e).

(f) Status of Lenders.

(i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 12.10(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if the Lender is not legally entitled to complete, execute or deliver such documentation or, in the Lender’s reasonable judgment, such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), one or more of the following, as applicable:

 

-67-


(1) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

(2) executed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form); or

(4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable (or any successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

-68-


(iii) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so. Each Foreign Lender shall promptly notify Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Foreign Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Foreign Lender is not legally able to deliver.

(g) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 12.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 12.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 12.10(e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 12.10(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 12.10(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(h) Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 12.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.

12.11. Attorneys’ Fees, Costs and Expenses. In any action or proceeding between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender arising out of or relating to the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender, as applicable, shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses incurred, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

12.12. Electronic Execution of Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature” and words of like import in any Loan Document shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping systems, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

12.13. Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall, at any time after the Advances and other amounts payable hereunder shall immediately become due and payable pursuant to Section 9.01, receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any

 

-69-


collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8.05, or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) Upon (i) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (ii) obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final but excluding amounts in deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes, and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of Borrower’s employees and identified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by Borrower as such), in any currency, at any time held or owing, and any other credits, indebtedness, claims or obligations, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, its Affiliates or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Borrower, as the case may be, against any and all of the obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates shall exercise any such right of setoff, (A) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.08 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (B) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender or Affiliate thereof as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section 12.13 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

(c) To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, then (i) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (ii) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.

12.16. Relationship. The relationship of the parties to this Agreement is determined solely by the provisions of this Agreement. The parties do not intend to create any agency, partnership, joint venture, trust, fiduciary or other relationship with duties or incidents different from those of parties to an arm’s-length contract.

12.19. LIBOR Provisions.

(a) Compensation for Losses. In the event of (i) the payment of any principal of any Advance other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (ii) the conversion of any Advance other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (iii) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Advance on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, then, in any such event, Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to such Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Advance had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Advance, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Advance), over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate that such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank eurodollar market. A certificate of a Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

 

-71-


(b) Increased Costs.

(i) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(A) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(B) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(C) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Advances made by such Lender or Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance, or to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of issuing, maintaining or participating in any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then, upon request of such Lender or such other Recipient, Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(ii) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the commitments of such Lender hereunder to make Advances, the Advances made by such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(iii) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (i) or (ii) of this Section and delivered to Borrower, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(iv) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

 

-72-


(c) Inability to Determine Rates.

(i) If, on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower) that, (1) by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank eurodollar market, the “LIBO Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (2) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of the applicable Advance, or (3) the LIBO Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Advance does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Administrative Agent and Lenders of funding such Advance, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower. Thereafter, the obligation of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to make or maintain Advances with an interest rate based on the LIBO Rate shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower may revoke any pending request for an Advance or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for an Advance with an interest rate based on ABR in the amount specified therein.

(d) Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.

(i) Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBO with a Benchmark Replacement. Any such amendment with respect to a Benchmark Transition Event will become effective at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent has posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and Borrower so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such amendment from the Required Lenders. Any such amendment with respect to an Early Opt-in Election will become effective on the date that the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders accept such amendment. No replacement of LIBO with a Benchmark Replacement pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” will occur prior to the applicable Benchmark Transition Start Date.

(ii) Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.

(iii) Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify Borrower and the Lenders of (A) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date and Benchmark Transition Start Date, (B) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (C) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (D) the commencement or conclusion of any Benchmark Unavailability Period. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.”

(iv) Benchmark Unavailability Period. Upon Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, Borrower may revoke any request for an Advance with an interest rate based on LIBO during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for an Advance with an interest rate based on ABR.

(v) Certain Defined Terms. As used in this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event”:

“Benchmark Replacement” is the sum of: (a) the alternate benchmark rate (which may include Term SOFR) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a replacement rate or the mechanism for determining such a rate by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a rate of interest as a replacement to LIBO for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities and (b) the Benchmark Replacement Adjustment; provided that, if the Benchmark Replacement as so determined would be less than zero, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement.

“Benchmark Replacement Adjustment” is, with respect to any replacement of LIBO with an Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for each applicable Interest Period, the spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, (which may be a positive or negative value or zero) that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower giving due consideration to (i) any selection or recommendation of a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBO with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement by the Relevant Governmental Body or (ii) any evolving or then-prevailing market convention for determining a spread adjustment, or method for calculating or determining such spread adjustment, for the replacement of LIBO with the applicable Unadjusted Benchmark Replacement for U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities at such time.

“Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” is, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “ABR,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of the Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement).

“Benchmark Replacement Date” is the earlier to occur of the following events with respect to LIBO:

(1) in the case of clause (1) or (2) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the later of (a) the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein and (b) the date on which the administrator of LIBO permanently or indefinitely ceases to provide LIBO; or

(2) in the case of clause (3) of the definition of “Benchmark Transition Event,” the date of the public statement or publication of information referenced therein.

 

-74-


“Benchmark Transition Event” is the occurrence of one or more of the following events with respect to LIBO:

(1) a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of LIBO announcing that such administrator has ceased or will cease to provide LIBO, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide LIBO;

(2) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBO, the U.S. Federal Reserve System, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBO, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for LIBO or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for LIBO, which states that the administrator of LIBO has ceased or will cease to provide LIBO permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide LIBO; or

(3) a public statement or publication of information by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of LIBO announcing that LIBO is no longer representative.

“Benchmark Transition Start Date” is (a) in the case of a Benchmark Transition Event, the earlier of (i) the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date and (ii) if such Benchmark Transition Event is a public statement or publication of information of a prospective event, the 90th day prior to the expected date of such event as of such public statement or publication of information (or if the expected date of such prospective event is fewer than 90 days after such statement or publication, the date of such statement or publication) and (b) in the case of an Early Opt-in Election, the date specified by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, by notice to Borrower, the Administrative Agent (in the case of such notice by the Required Lenders) and the Lenders.

“Benchmark Unavailability Period” is, if a Benchmark Transition Event and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred with respect to LIBO and solely to the extent that LIBO has not been replaced with a Benchmark Replacement, the period (x) beginning at the time that such Benchmark Replacement Date has occurred if, at such time, no Benchmark Replacement has replaced LIBO for all purposes hereunder in accordance with this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event” and (y) ending at the time that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced LIBO for all purposes hereunder pursuant to this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event.”

“Early Opt-in Election” is the occurrence of:

(1) (a) a determination by the Administrative Agent or (b) a notification by the Required Lenders to the Administrative Agent (with a copy to Borrower) that the Required Lenders have determined that U.S. dollar-denominated syndicated credit facilities being executed at such time, or that include language similar to that contained in this Section titled “Effect of Benchmark Transition Event,” are being executed or amended, as applicable, to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace LIBO, and

(2) (a) the election by the Administrative Agent or (b) the election by the Required Lenders to declare that an Early Opt-in Election has occurred and the provision, as applicable, by the Administrative Agent of written notice of such election to Borrower and the Lenders or by the Required Lenders of written notice of such election to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Illegality. If any Lender determines that any law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for such Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain, or fund Advances the interest rate of which is determined by reference to the LIBO Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the LIBO Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue such Advances shall be suspended until such Lender notifies Borrower through the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Advances to Advances with an interest rate based upon ABR, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Advances. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 12.19(a).

Section 13 Administrative Agent.

13.01. Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints HBUS to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

(b) The provisions of this Section 13 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and the Issuing Bank, and neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations, except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other

 

-76-


similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in their respective capacities as a Lender and, as applicable, provider of Bank Services) hereby irrevocably (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into all other Loan Documents, as applicable, including any intercreditor or subordination agreements satisfactory to the Required Lenders, and (ii) appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of the Secured Parties for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by the Borrower or any Subsidiary to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent, as collateral agent and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Loan Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 13 (including Section 13.07) and Section 12 as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents, as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent is further authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from the Lenders, from time to time to take any action, or permit the any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent to take any action, with respect to any Collateral or the Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon any Collateral granted pursuant to any Loan Document.

13.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities contemplated by this Agreement as well as activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

13.03. Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall have no duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder and thereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not:

(a) be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether any Default or any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is

 

-77-


contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 12.07), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

13.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of Lenders as shall be provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of the Advances.

 

-78-


13.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice in writing from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

13.06. Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates and made its own credit analysis and decision to make its Advances hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties, and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate thereof that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.

13.07. Indemnification. Each of the Lenders agrees to indemnify each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank and each of its Related Parties in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower or any Subsidiary and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or any Subsidiary to do so) according to its Aggregate Exposure Percentage in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section 13.07 (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Revolving Line shall have terminated and the Obligations shall have been paid in full, in accordance with its Aggregate Exposure Percentage immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Advances) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or such other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Line Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or such other Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing and any other amounts not reimbursed by Borrower or such Subsidiary; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the Administrative Agent’s or such other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Advances and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

-79-


13.08. Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

13.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

(b) If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(c) With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed and such collateral security is assigned to such successor Administrative Agent) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrower and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of Section 12.03, Section 12.11 and Section 13 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

-80-


13.10. Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

(a) The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(i) to release any Lien on any Collateral or other property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon the payment in full in cash of the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations and any Obligations under Bank Services Agreements that are Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 4.01) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit that are Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 4.01), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii) subject to Section 12.07, if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders;

(ii) to release any Subsidiary that becomes a co-borrower hereunder from its obligations under this Agreement if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents; and

(iii) for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized by each Lender take any action permitted by Section 4.01.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Subsidiary that becomes a co-borrower hereunder from its obligations pursuant to this Section 13.10.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by Borrower or any Subsidiary in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(d) Notwithstanding anything contained in any Loan Document, no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any guaranty of the Obligations, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies under the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall a Secured Party be restricted hereunder from filing a proof of claim on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding. In the event of a foreclosure by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition, and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of such Secured Party (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless the Required Lenders shall otherwise agree in writing) shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such public sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any Collateral payable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties at such sale

 

-81-


or other disposition. Each Secured Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral, to have agreed to the foregoing provisions. In furtherance of the foregoing, and not in limitation thereof, no Bank Services Agreement, the Obligations under which constitute Obligations, will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Secured Party that is a party thereto any rights in connection with the management or release of any Collateral or of the Obligations of Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Loan Document except as expressly provided herein. By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, any Secured Party that is a provider of Bank Services shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent to serve as administrative agent and collateral agent under the Loan Documents and to have agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party thereunder, subject to the limitations set forth in this paragraph.

13.11. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or any Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Advance or Obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated), by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Advances, Obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05, 12.03 and 12.11) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.05, 12.03 and 12.11.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

13.12. No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the “Joint Lead Arrangers” listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or the Issuing Bank hereunder.

13.13. Bank Services Bank. Each provider of Bank Services that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent, as frequently as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, with a summary of all Obligations in respect of Bank Services due or to become due to such provider of Bank Services. In connection with any distributions to be made hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that no amounts are due to any provider of Bank

 

-82-


Services that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as a provider of Bank Services and not in its capacity as a Lender) unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice thereof from such provider of Bank Services and if such notice is received, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the only amounts due to such provider of Bank Services on account of Bank Services are set forth in such notice.

13.14. Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of this Agreement, and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations.
