If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to Administrative Agent by such Lender, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Companies and the Companies shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent at a rate equal to 10% per annum. Nothing in this Section  2.3(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Companies may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

42

2.4.        Use of Proceeds. The Commitments shall remain undrawn on the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Multi-Draw Term Loans made after the Closing Date shall be applied by the Companies to fund for Permitted Acquisitions. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans made after the Closing Date shall be applied by the Companies for working capital and general corporate purposes of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No portion of the proceeds of any Credit Extension shall be used in any manner that causes or might cause such Credit Extension or the application of such proceeds to violate Regulation T, Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation thereof or to violate the Exchange Act. The Credit Parties shall not, directly or indirectly, use the proceeds of the Loans, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available such proceeds to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person, (a) to fund any activities or business of or with any Sanctioned Person, or in any Sanctioned Country, (b) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Loans, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise), or (c) in furtherance of an offer, payment, promise to pay, or authorization of the payment or giving of money, or anything else of value, to any Person in violation of any Anti-Corruption Laws or AML Laws.

 

2.5.        Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

 

(a)          Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Obligations of the Companies to such Lender, including the amounts of the Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Companies, absent manifest error; provided, that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Companies’ Obligations in respect of any applicable Loans; and provided further, in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

 

(b)           Register. Administrative Agent shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Companies or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitments and the Loans, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Companies and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Companies’ Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Companies hereby designates the entity serving as Administrative Agent to serve as the Companies’ non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section  2.5, and each Company hereby agrees that, to the extent such entity serves in such capacity, the entity serving as Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnitees.”

 

(c)           Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Companies (with a copy to Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Companies shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section  10.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Companies’ receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Revolving Loans or Multi-Draw Term Loans, as the case may be.

 

43

2.6.        Interest on Loans.

 

(a)            Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof at the Applicable Cash Rate plus the Applicable PIK Rate.

 

(b)           Interest payable pursuant to Section  2.6(a) shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.

 

(c)            Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on and to (i) each Interest Payment Date applicable to that Loan; (ii) upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) at maturity, including final maturity, and in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) including any accrued but un-capitalized interest at the Applicable PIK Rate thereon. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence or in the proviso below, accrued interest payable on any Loans at the Applicable PIK Rate shall be added to the outstanding principal amount of the Loans as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter; provided the Companies may, by prior written notice to Administrative Agent before the last day of each Fiscal Quarter, elect to pay accrued interest at the Applicable PIK Rate for such Fiscal Quarter in cash instead of capitalizing such interest. Amounts representing accrued interest which are added to the outstanding principal of Loans accruing such interest shall thereafter bear interest in accordance with Section  2.6(a) and otherwise be treated as Loans for purposes of this Agreement.

 

2.7.        Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Loans or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder, shall, at the election of Administrative Agent or Requisite Lenders or, in the case of any Event of Default under Section  8.1(f) or (g), automatically without any such election, thereafter bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy laws) payable in cash on demand at a rate that is 3% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any such fees and other amounts, at a rate which is equal to 13% per annum). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section  2.7 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 Administrative Agent or any Lender.

 

2.8.         Fees.

 

(a)          The Companies agree to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure commitment fees equal to (i) the average of the daily difference between (a) the Revolving Commitments, and (b) the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Revolving Loans, times (ii) 0.50% per annum.

 

44

(b)           The Companies agree to pay to Lenders having Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments a commitment fee equal to (i) the daily average unused portion of their respective Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments, times (ii) 0.50% per annum.

 

(c)            All fees referred to in Sections  2.8(a) and (b) shall be paid to Administrative Agent as set forth in Section  2.13(a) and upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof. All fees referred to in Sections  2.8(a) and (b) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable monthly in arrears on the last day of each month during the Revolving Commitment Period or Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Period, as applicable, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, as applicable.

 

(d)           In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Companies agree to pay to Agents and the Lenders such other fees in the amounts and at the times as separately agreed upon, including in the Fee Letter.

 

2.9.         Scheduled Multi-Draw Term Loan Payments. The principal amount of the Multi-Draw Term Loans shall be repaid in equal consecutive quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) in an annual amount equal to 5.0% of the aggregate principal amount of the Multi-Draw Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to December 31, 2019, which Installments shall be due on the last day of each Fiscal Quarter (each, an “Installment Date”), commencing December 31, 2019. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) following the commencement of such amortization, such Installments shall be reduced in the order specified in Section  2.12(b) in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Multi-Draw Term Loans in accordance with Sections  2.11, 2.12 and 2.13, as applicable; and (b) the Multi-Draw Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

 

2.10.       Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

 

(a)            Voluntary Prepayments.

 

(i)            Any time and from time to time, the Companies may prepay any Loans on any Business Day in whole or in part, in an aggregate minimum amount of $250,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

 

(ii)           All such prepayments shall be made upon not less than three Business Days prior written or telephonic notice given to Administrative Agent by 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (and Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such telephonic or original notice for Multi-Draw Term Loans or Revolving Loans, as the case may be, by electronic means or telephone to each Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section  2.12(a) with respect to Revolving Loans and Section  2.12(b) with respect to Multi-Draw Term Loans.

 

45

(b)           Voluntary Commitment Reductions.

 

(i)           The Companies may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice confirmed in writing to Administrative Agent (which original written or telephonic notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by electronic means or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part (x) the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolver Loans at the time of such proposed termination or reduction, or (y) any unused portion of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments and the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

 

(ii)          The Companies’ notice to Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Companies’ notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment or the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment of each Lender, as applicable, proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof.

 

(c)         Partial Payments. Notwithstanding anything in this Section  2.10 to the contrary, the Companies shall not partially prepay any Multi-Draw Term Loan and/or partially reduce any Commitment unless the aggregate amount of the remaining Commitments plus the remaining outstanding principal amount under the Multi-Draw Term Loans is equal to at least fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of the Commitments on the Fifteenth Amendment Effective Date; provided, however, that the Companies may repay the Multi-Draw Term Loans in full at any time.

 

46

2.11.       Mandatory Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

 

(a)           Asset Sales. No later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by any Credit Party of any Net Asset Sale Proceeds in excess of $125,000 in the aggregate since the Closing Date (excluding a sale (whether or not made in the ordinary course of business) of any portion of the Floorplan Collateral), the Companies shall prepay the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Asset Sale Proceeds; provided, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, upon delivery of a written notice to Administrative Agent, the Companies shall have the option, directly or through one or more Subsidiaries, to invest Net Asset Sale Proceeds (the “Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts”) in (i) long-term productive assets of the general type used in the business of the Companies if such assets are purchased or constructed within one hundred eighty days following receipt of such Net Asset Sale Proceeds (and so long as any such individual or aggregate investment in the amount of $125,000 or more has been consented to by Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders) or (ii) Permitted Acquisitions if (A) a definitive purchase agreement with respect to such Permitted Acquisition is executed within one hundred twenty days following receipt of such Net Asset Proceeds and (B) the transaction contemplated by such purchase agreement is consummated within one hundred eighty days of receipt thereof; provided further, pending any such reinvestment all Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts shall, at the option of the Companies, be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent then outstanding (without a reduction in Revolving Commitments) and, to the extent such Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts exceed the amount required to prepay all such Revolving Loans, the balance thereof shall be held at all times prior to such reinvestment, in an escrow account in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent. In the event that the Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts are not reinvested by the Companies prior to the earliest of (1) the last day of such one hundred twenty day period (if a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a Permitted Acquisition has not been executed in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement), (2) the last day of such one hundred eighty day period (if a definitive purchase agreement with respect to a Permitted Acquisition has been executed but the transactions contemplated thereby have not been consummated in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement), and (3) the date of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall apply such Asset Sale Reinvestment Amounts to the Obligations as set forth in Section  2.12(b).

 

(b)           Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds. Except to the extent required to be applied as a prepayment of any Approved Floorplan Financing or Indebtedness under the TCF Agreement, no later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, or Administrative Agent as loss payee, of any Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, the Companies shall prepay the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds; provided, (i) so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) to the extent that aggregate Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds from the Closing Date through the applicable date of determination do not exceed $125,000, the Companies shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries to invest such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds within one hundred eighty days of receipt thereof in long term productive assets of the general type used in the business of Holdings and its Subsidiaries, which investment may include the repair, restoration or replacement of the applicable assets thereof; provided, further, pending any such investment all such Net Insurance/Condemnation Proceeds, as the case may be, shall be applied to prepay Revolving Loans to the extent outstanding (without a reduction in Revolving Commitments) and otherwise held at all times prior to such investment in an escrow account in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

 

(c)            Issuance of Equity Securities. On the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from a capital contribution to, or the issuance of any Capital Stock of, Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than Capital Stock issued (i) pursuant to any employee stock or stock option compensation plan, (ii) by a Credit Party to another Credit Party, or (iii) for purposes approved in writing by Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders), the Companies shall prepay the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, in each case, paid to non-Affiliates, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

 

47

(d)          Issuance of Debt. On the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any Cash proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section  6.1), the Companies shall prepay the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions and other reasonable costs and expenses associated therewith, in each case, paid to non-Affiliates, including reasonable legal fees and expenses.

 

(e)           Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. In the event that there shall be Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for any Fiscal Year (commencing with Fiscal Year 2017), the Companies shall, not later than the third Business Day following the date on which audited financial statements are delivered or required to be delivered pursuant to Section  5.1(c) for such Fiscal Year, prepay the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 75% of such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow; provided that such Consolidated Excess Cash Flow for Fiscal Year 2017 shall be calculated for the period commencing on the first day of the first full fiscal month after the Closing Date and ending on the last day of such Fiscal Year rather than the entirety of such Fiscal Year. Any amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section  2.11(e) with respect to any Fiscal Year in excess of 75% of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow shall be treated as voluntary prepayments made pursuant to Section  2.12(a).

 

(f)           Revolving Loans. The Companies shall from time to time prepay the Revolving Loans to the extent necessary so that the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans (excluding any interest on the Revolving Loans that has been capitalized to the principal balance of the Revolving Loans) shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

 

(g)          Prepayment of Excess Outstanding Amounts.

48

(i)           Escrows and Indemnities. On the date of receipt by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries of any payment in excess of $125,000 pursuant to the definitive documentation for any Permitted Acquisition which payment constitutes a release of any escrowed amounts or an indemnification obligation, the Companies shall prepay Loans and/or Commitments shall be reduced as set forth in Section  2.12(b) in the amount of 100% of such payments.

 

(j)           Prepayment Certificate.

In the event that the Companies shall subsequently determine that the actual amount received exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Companies shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Loans and/or the Commitments shall be permanently reduced in an amount equal to such excess, and the Companies shall concurrently therewith deliver to Administrative Agent (who shall promptly forward to each Lender) a certificate of an Authorized Officer demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

 

2.12.        Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

 

(a)            Application of Voluntary Prepayments of Revolving Loans. Any prepayment of any Revolving Loan pursuant to Section  2.10 shall be applied to repay outstanding Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof.

 

(b)           Application of Other Prepayments to Loans. Any voluntary prepayments of Multi-Draw Term Loans pursuant to Section  2.10 and any mandatory prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section  2.11 shall be applied as follows:

 

first, to the payment of all fees, and all expenses specified in Section  10.2, to the full extent thereof;

 

second, to the payment of any accrued interest at the Default Rate, if any;

 

third, to the payment of any accrued interest (other than Default Rate interest), including accrued interest at the Applicable PIK Rate that has not been capitalized;

 

fourth, to the payment of any other amounts owing in connection with such prepayment pursuant to the Fee Letter, including any applicable premium;

 

fifth, except in connection with any Waivable Mandatory Prepayment in Section  2.12(c), to prepay Multi-Draw Term Loans on a pro rata basis (in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amounts thereof due at maturity) and shall be further applied in inverse order of maturity to reduce the remaining scheduled Installments of principal of the Multi-Draw Term Loans;

 

sixth, to permanently reduce the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments to the full extent thereof; and

(c)            Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Companies are required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Multi-Draw Term Loans, not less than three Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Companies are required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Companies shall notify Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Multi-Draw Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option by giving written notice to the Companies and Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Companies and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the first Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Companies shall pay to Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, which amount shall be applied (i) in an amount equal to that portion of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment payable to those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option, to prepay the Multi-Draw Term Loans of such Lenders (which prepayment shall be applied to the principal of the Multi-Draw Term Loans in accordance with Section  2.12(b)), and (ii) to the extent of any excess, to the Companies for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

2.13.       General Provisions Regarding Payments.

 

(a)           All payments by the Companies of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to Administrative Agent, for the account of Lenders, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at 200 West Street, New York, New York, 10282 or via wire transfer of immediately available funds to account number            maintained by Administrative Agent with JPMorgan Chase Bank              in New York City (or at such other location or bank account within the City and State of New York as may be designated by Administrative Agent from time to time); funds received by Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Companies on the next Business Day.

 

(b)           All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid (including accrued but uncapitalized interest to be paid-in-kind and any applicable premium, as the case may be).

 

(c)           Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due with respect thereto, including, without limitation, all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by Administrative Agent.

 

50

(d)           Whenever any payment to be made hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the commitment fees hereunder.

 

(e)            Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Companies hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Companies and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section  8.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the Default Rate determined pursuant to Section  2.7 from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

 

(f)            If an Event of Default shall have occurred and not otherwise been waived, and the Obligations have become due and payable in full hereunder, whether by acceleration, maturity or otherwise, all payments or proceeds received by any Agent hereunder or under any Collateral Document in respect of any of the Obligations, including, but not limited to all proceeds received by any Agent in respect of any sale, any collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, shall be applied in full or in part as follows: first, to the payment of all costs and expenses of such sale, collection or other realization, including all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by any Agent in connection therewith, and all amounts for which any Agent is entitled to indemnification hereunder or under any Collateral Document (in its capacity as an Agent and not as a Lender) and all advances made by any Agent under any Collateral Document for the account of the applicable Grantor, and to the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by any Agent in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any Collateral Document (including expenses, fees and disbursements of its agents and counsel), all in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof; second, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment of all other Obligations for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and third, to the extent of any excess of such proceeds, to the payment to or upon the order of such Grantor or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

 

51

2.14.       Ratable Sharing. Lenders hereby agree among themselves that, except as otherwise provided in the Fee Letter, if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set-off or banker’s lien, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Credit Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Company or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Companies expressly consent to the foregoing arrangement and agree that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, set-off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Companies to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder.

(a)           Compensation For Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that any Recipient shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order), or any determination of a court or governmental authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Recipient with any guideline, request or directive issued or made after the date hereof by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law): (i) subjects a Recipient (or any applicable lending office of a Lender) to any additional Tax (other than any Tax on the overall net income of such Lender) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Recipient (or any applicable lending office of a Lender) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of a Lender; or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a Tax matter) on or affecting a Lender (or its applicable lending office) or its obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Companies shall promptly pay to such Recipient, upon receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Recipient on an after-Tax basis for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Companies (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section  2.15(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error.

 

52

(b)           Capital Requirements. In the event that any Lender shall have determined (which determination shall, absent manifest effort, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (i) the adoption, effectiveness, phase-in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital or liquidity requirements, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) or any company controlling such Lender with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital or liquidity requirements (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the Closing Date, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any company controlling such Lender as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Commitments or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling company could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase-in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender or such controlling company with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within five Business Days after receipt by the Companies from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Companies shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after-Tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Companies (with a copy to Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section  2.15(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (a) and (b) of this Section  2.15 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning capital and liquidity requirements issued by any United States regulatory authority (A) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (B) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto).

(a)           Payments to Be Free and Clear. All sums payable by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Credit Document shall (except to the extent required by applicable law) be paid free and clear of, and without any deduction or withholding on account of, any Tax. If any applicable law (as determined in good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding on account of any such Tax, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent 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 (ii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by any applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section  2.16) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

53

(b)          Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Companies by a Recipient (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Recipient, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section  10.6(h) 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 Administrative Agent in connection with any Credit 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 Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Credit Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this Section  2.16(d).

 

(e)            Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section  2.16, such Credit Party shall deliver to 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 Administrative Agent.

In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Companies or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Companies or Administrative Agent as will enable the Companies or 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 Section  2.16(f)(i), (f) (ii) or (f) (iv) below) shall not be required if 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. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

 

(i)           any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Companies and 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 Companies or Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

55

(iii)         any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Companies and 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 the Companies or 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 the Companies or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(iv)         if any payment made to a Lender under any Credit 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Companies and Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Companies and Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Administrative Agent to comply with its 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 (iv), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each party’s obligations under this Section  2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Credit Document.

 

2.17.        Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section  2.15 or 2.16, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section  2.15 or 2.16 would be materially reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Commitments or Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Commitments or Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section  2.17 unless the Companies agree to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Companies pursuant to this Section  2.17 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Companies (with a copy to Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

2.18.        Defaulting Lenders. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that any Lender violates any provision of Section  9.5(c), or, other than at the direction or request of any regulatory agency or authority, defaults (in each case, a “Defaulting Lender”) in its obligation to fund (a “Funding Default”) any Loan (in each case, a “Defaulted Loan”), then (a) except to the extent such Lender’s vote is required under Section  10.5(b), during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of voting on any matters (including the granting of any consents or waivers) with respect to any of the Credit Documents; (b) to the extent permitted by applicable law, until such time as the Default Excess, if any, with respect to such Defaulting Lender shall have been reduced to zero, (i) any voluntary prepayment of the Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such voluntary prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders as if such Defaulting Lender had no Loans outstanding and the outstanding Loans of such Defaulting Lender were zero, and (ii) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall, if Administrative Agent so directs at the time of making such mandatory prepayment, be applied to the Loans of other Lenders (but not to the Loans of such Defaulting Lender) as if such Defaulting Lender had funded all Defaulted Loans of such Defaulting Lender, it being understood and agreed that any portion of any mandatory prepayment of the Loans that is not paid to such Defaulting Lender solely as a result of the operation of the provisions of this clause  (b) shall be paid to the non-Defaulting Lenders on a ratable basis; (c) such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments shall be excluded for purposes of calculating the commitment fee payable to Lenders in respect of any day during any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any commitment fee pursuant to Section  2.8 with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment in respect of any Default Period with respect to such Defaulting Lender. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section  2.18, performance by the Companies of their obligations hereunder and the other Credit Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of any Funding Default or the operation of this Section  2.18. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section  2.18 are in addition to other rights and remedies which the Companies may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default and which Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Funding Default or violation of Section  9.5(c).

 

57

 

2.19.        Removal or Replacement of a Lender.

In the event that the Terminated Lender fails to execute an Assignment Agreement pursuant to Section  10.6 within five Business Days after receipt by the Terminated Lender of notice of replacement pursuant to this Section  2.19 and presentation to such Terminated Lender of an Assignment Agreement evidencing an assignment pursuant to this Section  2.19, the Terminated Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment Agreement, and upon the execution and delivery of Assignment Agreement by the Replacement Lender and Administrative Agent, shall be effective for purposes of this Section  2.19 and Section  10.6. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender.

4.17.        Governmental Regulation. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, the Federal Power Act or the Investment Company Act of 1940 or under any other federal or state statute or regulation which may limit its ability to incur Indebtedness or which may otherwise render all or any portion of the Obligations unenforceable. Neither Holdings nor any of its Subsidiaries is a “registered investment company” or a company “controlled” by a “registered investment company” or a “principal underwriter” of a “registered investment company” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

4.20.       Employee Benefit Plans. Holdings, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates are in compliance in all material respects with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Employee Benefit Plan, and have performed all their obligations under each Employee Benefit Plan. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service indicating that such Employee Benefit Plan is so qualified and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Employee Benefit Plan to lose its qualified status. No liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the Internal Revenue Service, any Employee Benefit Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their ERISA Affiliates. No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur. Except to the extent required under Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code or similar state laws and except as described on Schedule  4.20, no Employee Benefit Plan provides health or welfare benefits (through the purchase of insurance or otherwise) for any retired or former employee of Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates.

As of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is available, the potential liability of Holdings, its Subsidiaries and their respective ERISA Affiliates for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA), when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, based on information available pursuant to Section 4221(e) of ERISA is zero. Holdings, each of its Subsidiaries and each of their ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in material “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan.

4.24.        Disclosure. No representation or warranty of any Credit Party contained in any Credit Document or in any other documents, certificates or written statements furnished to Lenders by or on behalf of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact (Known to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, in the case of any document not furnished by either of them) necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the same were made. Any projections and pro forma financial information contained in such materials are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by Lenders that such projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ from the projected results. There are no facts Known (or which should upon the reasonable exercise of diligence be Known) to Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries (other than matters of a general economic nature) that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and that have not been disclosed herein or in such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

71

 

4.25.        Sanctions; Anti-Corruption Laws; AML Laws.

SECTION 7.   GUARANTY

 

7.1.          Guaranty of the Obligations. Subject to the provisions of Section  7.2, Guarantors jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guaranty to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Beneficiaries the due and punctual payment in full of all Obligations when the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)) (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”).

 

95

7.2.          Contribution by Guarantors. All Guarantors desire to allocate among themselves (collectively, the “Contributing Guarantors”), in a fair and equitable manner, their obligations arising under this Guaranty. Accordingly, in the event any payment or distribution is made on any date by a Guarantor (a “Funding Guarantor”) under this Guaranty such that its Aggregate Payments exceeds its Fair Share as of such date, such Funding Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from each of the other Contributing Guarantors in an amount sufficient to cause each Contributing Guarantor’s Aggregate Payments to equal its Fair Share as of such date. “Fair Share” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (a) the ratio of (i) the Fair Share Contribution Amount with respect to such Contributing Guarantor, to (ii) the aggregate of the Fair Share Contribution Amounts with respect to all Contributing Guarantors multiplied by, (b) the aggregate amount paid or distributed on or before such date by all Funding Guarantors under this Guaranty in respect of the obligations Guaranteed. “Fair Share Contribution Amount” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, the maximum aggregate amount of the obligations of such Contributing Guarantor under this Guaranty that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any comparable applicable provisions of state law; provided, solely for purposes of calculating the “Fair Share Contribution Amount” with respect to any Contributing Guarantor for purposes of this Section  7.2, any assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor arising by virtue of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification or any rights to or obligations of contribution hereunder shall not be considered as assets or liabilities of such Contributing Guarantor. “Aggregate Payments” means, with respect to a Contributing Guarantor as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) the aggregate amount of all payments and distributions made on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor in respect of this Guaranty (including, without limitation, in respect of this Section  7.2), minus (B) the aggregate amount of all payments received on or before such date by such Contributing Guarantor from the other Contributing Guarantors as contributions under this Section  7.2. The amounts payable as contributions hereunder shall be determined as of the date on which the related payment or distribution is made by the applicable Funding Guarantor. The allocation among Contributing Guarantors of their obligations as set forth in this Section  7.2 shall not be construed in any way to limit the liability of any Contributing Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor is a third party beneficiary to the contribution agreement set forth in this Section  7.2.

 

7.3.          Payment by Guarantors. Subject to Section  7.2, Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of any Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in Cash, to Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of Beneficiaries, an amount equal to the sum of the unpaid principal amount of all Guaranteed Obligations then due as aforesaid, accrued and unpaid interest on such Guaranteed Obligations (including interest which, but for any Company’s becoming the subject of a case under the Bankruptcy Code, would have accrued on such Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not a claim is allowed against such Company for such interest in the related bankruptcy case) and all other Guaranteed Obligations then owed to Beneficiaries as aforesaid.

 

96

7.4.          Liability of Guarantors Absolute. Each Guarantor agrees that its obligations hereunder are irrevocable, absolute, independent and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance which constitutes a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or surety other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, each Guarantor agrees as follows:

 

(a)           this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment when due and not of collectability. This Guaranty is a primary obligation of each Guarantor and not merely a contract of surety;

 

(b)           Administrative Agent may enforce this Guaranty upon the occurrence of an Event of Default notwithstanding the existence of any dispute between any Company and any Beneficiary with respect to the existence of such Event of Default;

 

(c)           the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Companies and the obligations of any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the obligations of the Companies, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against such Guarantor whether or not any action is brought against any Company or any of such other guarantors and whether or not any Company is joined in any such action or actions;

 

(d)           payment by any Guarantor of a portion, but not all, of the Guaranteed Obligations shall in no way limit, affect, modify or abridge any Guarantor’s liability for any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which has not been paid, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Administrative Agent is awarded a judgment in any suit brought to enforce any Guarantor’s covenant to pay a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations, such judgment shall not be deemed to release such Guarantor from its covenant to pay the portion of the Guaranteed Obligations that is not the subject of such suit, and such judgment shall not, except to the extent satisfied by such Guarantor, limit, affect, modify or abridge any other Guarantor’s liability hereunder in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations;

 

(e)           any Beneficiary, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Beneficiary in respect hereof or the Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Beneficiary may have against any such security, in each case as such Beneficiary in its discretion may determine consistent herewith and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against any Company or any security for the Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Credit Documents; and

 

97

(f)           this Guaranty and the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination for any reason (other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations), including the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not any Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them: (i) any failure or omission to assert or enforce, or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under the Credit Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including provisions relating to events of default) hereof, any of the other Credit Documents or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any other guaranty or security for the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case whether or not in accordance with the terms hereof or such Credit Document or any agreement relating to such other guaranty or security; (iii) the Guaranteed Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect; (iv) the application of payments received from any source (other than payments received pursuant to the other Credit Documents or from the proceeds of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent such security also serves as collateral for indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations) to the payment of indebtedness other than the Guaranteed Obligations, even though any Beneficiary might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any Beneficiary’s consent to the change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries and to any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vi) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any collateral which secures any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (vii) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which any Company may allege or assert against any Beneficiary in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury; and (viii) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

98

7.5.          Waivers by Guarantors. Each Guarantor hereby waives, for the benefit of Beneficiaries: (a) any right to require any Beneficiary, as a condition of payment or performance by such Guarantor, to (i) proceed against any Company, any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Company, any such other guarantor or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any Deposit Account or credit on the books of any Beneficiary in favor of any Company or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Beneficiary whatsoever; (b) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any Company or any other Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any Company or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (d) any defense based upon any Beneficiary’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Guaranteed Obligations, except behavior which amounts to bad faith; (e) (i) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Beneficiary protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any property subject thereto; (f) notices, demands, presentments, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor and notices of any action or inaction, including acceptance hereof, notices of default hereunder, notices of any renewal, extension or modification of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement related thereto, notices of any extension of credit to any Company and notices of any of the matters referred to in Section  7.4 and any right to consent to any thereof; and (g) any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms hereof.

 

7.6.          Guarantors’ Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, etc. Until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor hereby waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Company or any other Guarantor or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Company with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Beneficiary now has or may hereafter have against any Company, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Beneficiary. In addition, until the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated, each Guarantor shall withhold exercise of any right of contribution such Guarantor may have against any other guarantor (including any other Guarantor) of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, any such right of contribution as contemplated by Section  7.2. Each Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver or agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification such Guarantor may have against any Company or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution such Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights any Beneficiary may have against the Companies, to all right, title and interest any Beneficiary may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right any Beneficiary may have against such other guarantor. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of any such subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution rights at any time when all Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been finally and indefeasibly paid in full, such amount shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

99

7.7.          Subordination of Other Obligations. Any Indebtedness of the Companies or any Guarantor now or hereafter held by any Guarantor (the “Obligee Guarantor”) is hereby subordinated in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations, and any such indebtedness collected or received by the Obligee Guarantor after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be held in trust for Administrative Agent on behalf of Beneficiaries and shall forthwith be paid over to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Beneficiaries to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations but without affecting, impairing or limiting in any manner the liability of the Obligee Guarantor under any other provision hereof.

 

7.8.          Continuing Guaranty. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall remain in effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any right to revoke this Guaranty as to future transactions giving rise to any Guaranteed Obligations.

 

7.9.          Authority of Guarantors or the Companies. It is not necessary for any Beneficiary to inquire into the capacity or powers of any Guarantor or any Company or the officers, directors or any agents acting or purporting to act on behalf of any of them.

 

7.10.        Financial Condition of the Companies. Any Credit Extension may be made to the Companies or continued from time to time without notice to or authorization from any Guarantor regardless of the financial or other condition of any Company at the time of any such grant or continuation. No Beneficiary shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantor’s assessment, of the financial condition of any Company. Each Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Companies on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Companies and their ability to perform their obligations under the Credit Documents, and each Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Companies and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of any Beneficiary to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or conditions of the Companies now Known or hereafter Known by any Beneficiary.

 

100

7.11.        Bankruptcy, etc.

 

(a)           So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Requisite Lenders, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against any Company or any other Guarantor. The obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of any Company or any other Guarantor or by any defense which any Company or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or administrative body resulting from any such proceeding.

 

(b)           Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in clause  (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of Guarantors and Beneficiaries that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Company of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

 

(c)           In the event that all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Companies, the obligations of Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

 

7.12.        Discharge of Guaranty Upon Sale of Guarantor. If all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor or any of its successors in interest hereunder shall be sold or otherwise disposed of (including by merger or consolidation) in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, the Guaranty of such Guarantor or such successor in interest, as the case may be, hereunder shall automatically be discharged and released without any further action by any Beneficiary or any other Person effective as of the time of such Asset Sale.

The provisions of this Section  9 are solely for the benefit of Agents and Lenders and no Credit Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions thereof. In performing its functions and duties hereunder, each Agent shall act solely as an agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation towards or relationship of agency or trust with or for Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries.

 

104

9.2.          Powers and Duties. Each Lender irrevocably authorizes each Agent to take such action on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Credit Documents as are specifically delegated or granted to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto. Each Agent shall have only those duties and responsibilities that are expressly specified herein and the other Credit Documents. Each Agent may exercise such powers, rights and remedies and perform such duties by or through its agents or employees. No Agent shall have, by reason hereof or any of the other Credit Documents, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing herein or any of the other Credit Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon any Agent any obligations in respect hereof or any of the other Credit Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

 

9.3.          General Immunity.

 

(a)           No Responsibility for Certain Matters. No Agent shall be responsible to any Lender for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency hereof or any other Credit Document or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made in any written or oral statements or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports or certificates or any other documents furnished or made by any Agent to Lenders or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to any Agent or any Lender in connection with the Credit Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby or for the financial condition or business affairs of any Credit Party or any other Person liable for the payment of any Obligations, nor shall any Agent be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained in any of the Credit Documents or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or as to the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or Default or to make any disclosures with respect to the foregoing. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Administrative Agent shall not have any liability arising from confirmations of the amount of outstanding Loans or the component amounts thereof.

 

105

(b)           Exculpatory Provisions. No Agent nor any of its officers, partners, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to Lenders for any action taken or omitted by any Agent under or in connection with any of the Credit Documents except to the extent caused by such Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. Each Agent shall be entitled to refrain from any act or the taking of any action (including the failure to take an action) in connection herewith or any of the other Credit Documents or from the exercise of any power, discretion or authority vested in it hereunder or thereunder unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions in respect thereof from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section  10.5) and, upon receipt of such instructions from Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders, as the case may be), such Agent shall be entitled to act or (where so instructed) refrain from acting, or to exercise such power, discretion or authority, in accordance with such instructions. Without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, (i) each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any communication, instrument or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons, and shall be entitled to rely and shall be protected in relying on opinions and judgments of attorneys (who may be attorneys for Holdings and its Subsidiaries), accountants, experts and other professional advisors selected by it; and (ii) no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against any Agent as a result of such Agent acting or (where so instructed) refraining from acting hereunder or any of the other Credit Documents in accordance with the instructions of Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such instructions under Section  10.5).

 

9.4.          Agents Entitled to Act as Lender. The agency hereby created shall in no way impair or affect any of the rights and powers of, or impose any duties or obligations upon, any Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender hereunder. With respect to its participation in the Loans, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not performing the duties and functions delegated to it hereunder, and the term “Lender” shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each Agent in its individual capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with Holdings or any of its Affiliates as if it were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Companies for services in connection herewith and otherwise without having to account for the same to Lenders.

 

9.5.          Lenders’ Representations, Warranties and Acknowledgment.

 

(a)           Each Lender represents and warrants that it has made its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of Holdings and its Subsidiaries in connection with Credit Extensions hereunder and that it has made and shall continue to make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of Holdings and its Subsidiaries. No Agent shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to make any such investigation or any such appraisal on behalf of Lenders or to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter, and no Agent shall have any responsibility with respect to the accuracy of or the completeness of any information provided to Lenders.

 

(b)           Each Lender, by delivering its signature page to this Agreement, shall be deemed to have acknowledged receipt of, and consented to and approved, each Credit Document and each other document required to be approved by any Agent, Requisite Lenders or Lenders, as applicable on the Closing Date.

 

106

(c)           Each Lender (i) represents and warrants that as of the Closing Date neither such Lender nor its Affiliates or Related Funds owns or controls, or owns or controls any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Credit Party other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Credit Party (other than the Warrants and the Preferred Stock) and (ii) covenants and agrees that from and after the Closing Date neither such Lender nor its Affiliates and Related Funds shall purchase any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Credit Party other than the Obligations or Capital Stock described in clause  (i) above (other than as contemplated by the Warrants and the Preferred Stock) without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.

 

9.6.          Right to Indemnity. Each Lender, in proportion to its Pro Rata Share, severally agrees to indemnify each Agent, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents of each Agent (each, an “Indemnitee Agent Party”), to the extent that such Indemnitee Agent Party shall not have been reimbursed by any Credit Party, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitee Agent Party in exercising its powers, rights and remedies or performing its duties hereunder or under the other Credit Documents or otherwise in its capacity as such Indemnitee Agent Party in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such INDEMNITEE Agent PARTY; provided, no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Indemnitee Agent Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order. If any indemnity furnished to any Indemnitee Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of such Indemnitee Agent Party, be insufficient or become impaired, such Indemnitee Agent Party may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished; provided, in no event shall this sentence require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof; and provided, further, this sentence shall not be deemed to require any Lender to indemnify any Indemnitee Agent Party against any liability, obligation, loss, damage, penalty, action, judgment, suit, cost, expense or disbursement described in the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

9.7.          Successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent.

 

(a)           Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty days’ prior written notice thereof to Lenders and the Companies. Upon any such notice of resignation, Requisite Lenders shall have the right, upon five Business Days’ notice to the Companies, to appoint a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, that successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall promptly (i) transfer to such successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent all sums, Securities and other items of Collateral held under the Collateral Documents, together with all records and other documents necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance of the duties of the successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent such amendments to financing statements, and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent of the security interests created under the Collateral Documents, whereupon such retiring Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Section  9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder.

 

107

(b)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent may assign their rights and duties as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder to an Affiliate of GSSLG that is capable of performing Agents’ obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of, or prior written notice to, the Companies or the Lenders; provided, that the Companies and the Lenders may deem and treat such assigning Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for all purposes hereof, unless and until such assigning Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as the case may be, provides written notice to the Companies and the Lenders of such assignment. Upon such assignment such Affiliate shall succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties as Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent hereunder and under the other Credit Documents.

 

9.8.          Collateral Documents and Guaranty.

 

(a)           Agents under Collateral Documents and Guaranty. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, on behalf of and for the benefit of Lenders, to be the agent for and representative of Lenders with respect to the Guaranty, the Individual Guarantees, the Collateral and the Collateral Documents. Subject to Section  10.5, without further written consent or authorization from Lenders, Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may execute any documents or instruments necessary to (i) release any Lien encumbering any item of Collateral that is the subject of a sale or other disposition of assets permitted hereby or to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section  10.5) have otherwise consented, or (ii) release any Guarantor from the Guaranty pursuant to Section  7.12 or with respect to which Requisite Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section  10.5) have otherwise consented.

 

(b)           Right to Realize on Collateral and Enforce Guaranty. Anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Companies, Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent and each Lender hereby agree that (i) no Lender shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce the Guaranty or any Individual Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder with respect to such realization or enforcement may be exercised solely by Administrative Agent (acting only at the direction of or with the consent of Requisite Lenders), on behalf of Lenders in accordance with the terms hereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents with respect to such realization or enforcement may be exercised solely by Collateral Agent (acting only upon the direction or with the consent of Requisite Lenders), and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure by Collateral Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale, Collateral Agent or any Lender may be the purchaser of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale and Collateral Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities unless Requisite 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 Collateral Agent at such sale.

109

10.3.        Indemnity.

 

(a)           In addition to the payment of expenses pursuant to Section  10.2, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, each Credit Party agrees to defend (subject to Indemnitees’ selection of counsel), indemnify, pay and hold harmless, each Agent and Lender, their Affiliates and their respective officers, partners, directors, trustees, employees and agents of each Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”), from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory, or sole negligence of such INDEMNITEE; provided, no Credit Party shall have any obligation to any Indemnitee hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable order, of that Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in this Section  10.3 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are in violation of any law or public policy, the applicable Credit Party shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Indemnitees or any of them. This Section  10.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, costs, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

 

(b)           To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, any claim against Lenders, Agents and their respective Affiliates, directors, employees, attorneys or agents, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) (whether or not the claim therefor is based on contract, tort or duty imposed by any applicable legal requirement) arising out of, in connection with, as a result of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby or referred to herein or therein, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof or any act or omission or event occurring in connection therewith, and each Credit Party hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

110

10.4.        Set-Off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default each Lender and its respective Affiliates is hereby authorized by each Credit Party at any time or from time to time subject to the consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and such consent not to be required upon an Event of Default under Sections  8.1(f) or (g)), without notice to any Credit Party or to any other Person (other than Administrative Agent), any such notice being hereby expressly waived, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including Indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured, but not including trust accounts (in whatever currency)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party (in whatever currency) against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of any Credit Party to such Lender hereunder and under the other Credit Documents, including all claims of any nature or description arising out of or connected hereto, or with any other Credit Document, irrespective of whether or not (a) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder, (b) the principal of or the interest on the Loans or any other amounts due hereunder shall have become due and payable pursuant to Section  2 and although such obligations and liabilities, or any of them, may be contingent or unmatured, or (c) such obligation or liability is owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligation or such Indebtedness.

(b)           Affected Lenders’ Consent. Without the written consent of each Lender that would be affected thereby, no amendment, modification, termination, or consent shall be effective if the effect thereof would:

(ii)           waive, reduce or postpone any scheduled repayment (but not prepayment);

 

(iii)           reduce the rate of interest on any Loan (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any Loan pursuant to Section  2.7) or any fee payable hereunder;

(i)            increase any Commitment of any Lender over the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender; provided, no amendment, modification or waiver of any condition precedent, covenant, Default or Event of Default shall constitute an increase in any Commitment of any Lender;

112

(v)           amend, modify, terminate or waive any provision of Section  9 as the same applies to any Agent, or any other provision hereof as the same applies to the rights or obligations of any Agent, in each case without the consent of such Agent.

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle any Credit Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section  10.5 shall be binding upon each Lender at the time outstanding, each future Lender and, if signed by a Credit Party, on such Credit Party.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  10.5, any amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of the Fee Letter, the Warrants or the terms of the Preferred Stock, or any consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom, in each case, shall not require the consent of any Person that is not a party thereto.

 

(g)           Deadlocks.

(ii)           The Supporting Lender may, after three Business Days’ written notice to the Non-Supporting Lender, which notice shall include a draft of the requisite consent, waiver or amendment that would otherwise be delivered with respect to the Deadlock Matter if the Requisite Consent had been obtained, refer the Deadlock Matter to a Special Designee engaged by the Companies to resolve the Deadlock Matter (such Person, the “Special Designee”). The Special Designee shall be Alvarez & Marsal, or, if Alvarez & Marsal is unwilling or unable to serve as the Special Designee, FTI Consulting, or if Alvarez & Marsal and FTI Consulting are unwilling or unable to serve as the Special Designee, then Zolfo Cooper.

(E)            in making its determination, the Special Designee shall, to the extent the Special Designee determines necessary or prudent, consult with counsel and other advisors, and shall provide to each of the Supporting Lender, and the Non-Supporting Lender a reasonably detailed written explanation regarding its decision to either approve or reject the Deadlock Matter in scope and substance that the Special Designee determines is appropriate for the Deadlock Matter.

(ix)           Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else herein to the contrary, the approval of a Deadlock Matter by the Special Designee shall not (A) be an approval of any other or further matters not reasonably connected to accomplishing the Deadlock Matter approved, (B) change the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or (C) permit the amendment, waiver or modification of this Agreement or any other Credit Document in a manner that is prohibited by Section  10.5 or the equivalent provision of any other Credit Document.

The Companies, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until an Assignment Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been delivered to and accepted by Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided in Section  10.6(e). Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment or Loan shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans.

 

(c)           Right to Assign. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell, assign or transfer all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Loans owing to it or other Obligations (provided, however, that each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of any Loan and any related Commitments):

 

(i)            to any Person meeting the criteria of clause (i)(a) or clause (ii)(a) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” upon the giving of notice to Administrative Agent; and

 

(ii)           to any Person otherwise constituting an Eligible Assignee with the consent of Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed); provided, each such assignment pursuant to this Section  10.6(c)(ii) shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount as may be agreed to by the Companies and Administrative Agent or as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Loans of a particular Class of the assigning Lender) and shall be subject to the ROFO Right and the Tag-Along Right to the extent set forth in Sections  10.6(j) and 10.6(k), respectively.

 

(d)           Mechanics. The assigning Lender and the assignee thereof shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment Agreement, together with such forms, certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the assignee under such Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section  2.16(f).

 

(e)           Notice of Assignment. Upon its receipt and acceptance of a duly executed and completed Assignment Agreement, any forms, certificates or other evidence required by this Agreement in connection therewith, Administrative Agent shall record the information contained in such Assignment Agreement in the Register, shall give prompt notice thereof to the Companies and shall maintain a copy of such Assignment Agreement.

 

116

(f)           Representations and Warranties of Assignee. Each Lender, upon execution and delivery hereof or upon executing and delivering an Assignment Agreement, as the case may be, represents and warrants as of the Closing Date or as of the applicable Effective Date (as defined in the applicable Assignment Agreement) that (i) it is an Eligible Assignee; (ii) it has experience and expertise in the making of or investing in commitments or loans such as the applicable Commitments or Loans, as the case may be; (iii) it will make or invest in, as the case may be, its Commitments or Loans for its own account in the ordinary course of its business and without a view to distribution of such Commitments or Loans within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws (it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Section  10.6, the disposition of such Commitments or Loans or any interests therein shall at all times remain within its exclusive control); and (iv) such Lender does not own or control, or own or control any Person owning or controlling, any trade debt or Indebtedness of any Credit Party other than the Obligations or any Capital Stock of any Credit Party (other than the Preferred Stock, the Warrants or as contemplated thereby).

 

(g)           Effect of Assignment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section  10.6, as of the “Effective Date” specified in the applicable Assignment Agreement: (i) the assignee thereunder shall have the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder to the extent such rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment Agreement and shall thereafter be a party hereto and a “Lender” for all purposes hereof; (ii) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned thereby pursuant to such Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which survive the termination hereof under Section  10.8) and be released from its obligations hereunder (and, in the case of an Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided, anything contained in any of the Credit Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, such assigning Lender shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of all indemnities hereunder as specified herein with respect to matters arising out of the prior involvement of such assigning Lender as a Lender hereunder); (iii) the Commitments shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such assignee and any Commitment of such assigning Lender, if any; and (iv) if any such assignment occurs after the issuance of any Note hereunder, the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon the Companies shall issue and deliver new Notes, if so requested by the assignee and/or assigning Lender, to such assignee and/or to such assigning Lender, with appropriate insertions, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the assignee and/or the assigning Lender.

 

117

(h)           Participations. Each Lender shall have the right at any time to sell one or more participations to any Person (other than Holdings, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its Affiliates) in all or any part of its Commitments, Loans or in any other Obligation. The holder of any such participation, other than an Affiliate of the Lender granting such participation, shall not be entitled to require such Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder except with respect to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) extend the final scheduled maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest or fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount thereof, or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Commitment shall not constitute a change in the terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment or Loan shall be permitted without the consent of any participant if the participant’s participation is not increased as a result thereof), (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer by any Credit Party of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (iii) release all or substantially all of the Collateral under the Collateral Documents, any Individual Guarantor from its Individual Guaranty, or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from the Guaranty (in each case, except as expressly provided in the Credit Documents) supporting the Loans hereunder in which such participant is participating. The Companies agree that each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections  2.14, 2.15 and 2.16 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section  2.16(f)), to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to clause  (c) of this Section; provided, that such participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections  2.17 and 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (c) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections  2.15 or 2.16, 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 law that occurs after the participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Companies’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Companies to effectuate the provisions of Section  2.19 with respect to any participant. To the extent permitted by law, each participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section  10.4 as though it were a Lender; provided that such participant agrees to be subject to Section  2.14 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Companies, 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 Loans or other obligations under the Credit Documents (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 or loans or its other obligations under any Credit Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan 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, Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(i)            Certain Other Assignments. In addition to any other assignment permitted pursuant to this Section  10.6, any Lender may assign, pledge and/or grant a security interest in, all or any portion of its Loans, the other Obligations owed by or to such Lender, and its Notes, if any, to secure obligations of such Lender including, without limitation, any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank; provided, no Lender, as between the Companies and such Lender, shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any such assignment and pledge, and provided, further, in no event shall the applicable Federal Reserve Bank, pledgee or trustee be considered to be a “Lender” or be entitled to require the assigning Lender to take or omit to take any action hereunder.

 

118

(j)            Right of First Offer. If any Lender desires to Transfer all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans or unfunded Commitments (such Lender, the “ROFO Offeror”) in a Transfer other than an Excluded ROFO Transfer, then each other Lender (excluding Affiliates of the ROFO Offeror) (each a “ROFO Eligible Lender”) shall have a right of first offer (a “ROFO Right”) with respect to such Transfer (a “ROFO Disposition”) in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            The ROFO Offeror shall deliver written notice of its desire to effect such ROFO Transfer (the “ROFO Notice”) to each ROFO Eligible Lender. The last date that the ROFO Notice is received by any ROFO Eligible Lender shall constitute the “ROFO Notice Date”. The ROFO Notice shall include the amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments that the ROFO Offeror desires to Transfer, which shall include Loans and unfunded Commitments that are in amounts proportionate in relation to the aggregate amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments, respectively, held by such ROFO Offeror prior to giving effect to such Transfer (the “ROFO Transfer Interest”).

 

(ii)           Following receipt of the ROFO Notice, each ROFO Eligible Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) for a period of thirty days (such period, the “ROFO Offering Period”) to propose a cash purchase price for all of the ROFO Transfer Interest, along with all other terms and conditions applicable to the Transfer. Such proposed (if any) price and any such terms and conditions shall be delivered by a ROFO Eligible Lender to the ROFO Offeror in a written notice (the “ROFO Offer Notice”) within the ROFO Offering Period. The delivery of a ROFO Offer Notice shall constitute an irrevocable commitment (subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer Notice) for a period of thirty days following delivery of such ROFO Offer Notice (the “ROFO Commitment Period”) to purchase all of the ROFO Transfer Interest. If the ROFO Offeror desires in its sole discretion to accept the most favorable offer (taken as a whole), as determined by the ROFO Offeror in good faith based on purchase price and terms and conditions offered by any ROFO Eligible Lender set forth in any ROFO Offer Notice (the “ROFO Transfer Offer”), the ROFO Offeror shall so notify such ROFO Eligible Lender (the “ROFO Buyer”) of its acceptance of the ROFO Transfer Offer (the “ROFO Acceptance Notice”). The delivery of a ROFO Acceptance Notice prior to the expiration of the ROFO Commitment Period shall constitute an irrevocable commitment to sell all the ROFO Transfer Interest to the ROFO Buyer and an irrevocable commitment by the ROFO Buyer to buy all the ROFO Transfer Interest from the ROFO Offeror, in each case in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Offer Notice. The ROFO Acceptance Notice shall include a reasonable place and time for the closing of the purchase and sale of the ROFO Transfer Interest, which shall be not less than ten Business Days nor more than twenty Business Days after the delivery of the ROFO Acceptance Notice (subject to extension to the extent necessary to pursue any required regulatory approvals) unless otherwise agreed in writing by all of the parties to such transaction. If a ROFO Buyer breaches its obligation to purchase the ROFO Transfer Interest, such ROFO Buyer and its Affiliates who are Lenders shall (without limiting the remedies of the ROFO Offeror against the ROFO Buyer for its breach) lose all further rights to deliver a ROFO Offer Notice with respect to any future Transfer under this Section  10.6(j)(ii).

 

119

(iii)           During the period beginning on the expiration of the ROFO Offering Period (if no ROFO Acceptance Notice has been provided in accordance with this Section  10.6(j)(iii)) and ending one hundred twenty days following the end of the ROFO Offering Period (the “ROFO Solicitation Period”), the ROFO Offeror may solicit offers from any Third Party for the ROFO Transfer Interest. Upon receipt of an offer from a Third Party that includes a cash purchase price that is greater than the highest purchase price proposed in any ROFO Offer Notice received by the ROFO Offeror pursuant to this Section  10.6(j)(iii) (a “ROFO Qualifying Third Party Offer”), the ROFO Offeror may Transfer all (but not less than all) of the ROFO Transfer Interest to such Third Party (the “ROFO Third Party Transferee”) within sixty days following expiration of the ROFO Solicitation Period (the “ROFO Sale Period”) at such purchase price (but not equal to or less than the highest purchase price proposed in any ROFO Offer Notice received by the ROFO Offeror pursuant to this Section  10.6(j)(iii)) and under such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the ROFO Offeror and the ROFO Third Party Transferee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ROFO Offeror may not accept an offer, and such offer will not be considered a ROFO Qualifying Third Party Offer, if such offer contains provisions related to any property of the ROFO Offeror other than the ROFO Transfer Interest held by the ROFO Offeror.

 

(iv)           If no Transfer of the ROFO Transfer Interest occurs within the ROFO Sale Period pursuant to a ROFO Qualifying Third Party Offer or to a ROFO Eligible Lender pursuant to a ROFO Acceptance Notice, then the ROFO Offeror may not Transfer any of the ROFO Transfer Interest without again complying in full with the provisions of this Section  10.6(j).

 

(v)           The ROFO Right shall not apply with respect to any of the following Transfers (each an “Excluded ROFO Transfer”):

 

(A)           a Transfer made by a Lender to its Affiliate;

 

(B)            a Transfer made in connection with a determination by GS in good faith that the continued ownership of the Loans and unfunded Commitments (for the avoidance of doubt, either at the relevant date of determination or at a future date) is unlawful or creates, or could reasonably be expected to create, significant and adverse legal, regulatory or reputational consequences to GS; or

 

(C)            a Transfer whereby the fair market value of the Loans and unfunded Commitments to be Transferred by GS (as such fair market value is determined by GS in good faith) constitutes less than forty percent of the fair market value of all assets being directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred in connection with such Transfer.

 

120

(vi)           For purposes of determining compliance with the requirements of this Section  10.6(j) as they relate to comparing purchase prices permitted or offered in connection with any Transfer, (A) any purchase price increases resulting from additional accrued interest (including accrued interest at the Applicable PIK Rate that is capitalized to principal) or additional Loans funded during any interim period between and including the applicable offer dates of such purchase prices and (B) any purchase price decreases resulting from payments or prepayments of interest and principal during the interim period between and including such dates, in each case shall be disregarded.

 

(k)           Tag-Along Right. If any Lender desires to effect a Transfer of all or a portion of such Lender’s Loans and unfunded Commitments (such Lender, the “Tag Transferor”) in a Transfer other than an Excluded Tag Transfer, then, subject to compliance with Section  10.6(j) relating to the ROFO Right, each Lender (other than Affiliates of the Tag Transferor) (each a “Tag Eligible Lender”) shall have a tag along right (a “Tag-Along Right”) with respect to such Transfer (a “Tag-Along Sale”) in accordance with the following provisions:

 

(i)            The Tag Transferor shall give notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to each Tag Eligible Lender of any Tag-Along Sale, setting forth the respective amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments that the Tag Transferor desires to Transfer, which shall include Loans and unfunded Commitments that are in amounts proportionate to the aggregate amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments, respectively, held by such Tag Transferor prior to giving effect to such Transfer (the “Tag Transfer Interest”), the name and address of the proposed Third Party transferee in connection with the Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag Third Party Transferee”), the proposed cash consideration for the Tag Transfer Interest and any other material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Sale, including a copy of the proposed Assignment Agreement, purchase and sale agreement or other similar agreement relating to such sale (the “Tag-Along Offer”).

 

(ii)           Each Tag Eligible Lender shall have a period of ten Business Days (the “Tag Election Period”) from the date of its receipt of the Tag-Along Notice within which to elect to exercise its Tag-Along Right (each exercising Tag Eligible Lender, a “Tag Offeree”) by delivery of an irrevocable written notice to the Tag Transferor (a “Tag Election Notice”) specifying the respective amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments that such Tag Offeree desires to include in the Tag-Along Sale, which shall include Loans and unfunded Commitments that are in amounts proportionate to the aggregate amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments, respectively, held by such Tag Offeree prior to giving effect to such Transfer up to the product of (x) the aggregate amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments held by such Tag Offeree, multiplied by (y) a percentage determined by dividing (A) the aggregate amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments included in the Tag Transfer Interest by (B) the aggregate amount of outstanding Loans and unfunded Commitments held by the Tag Transferor prior to giving effect to the proposed Transfer.

 

(iii)           Promptly following the expiration of the Tag Election Period, the following procedures shall apply:

 

121

(A)           first, the Tag Transferor shall notify the Tag Third Party Transferee of the total of (1) the aggregate amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments requested to be included in a Tag-Along Sale by all Tag Offerees exercising their Tag-Along Rights plus (2) the aggregate amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments that the Tag Transferor proposes to sell in such Tag-Along Sale (the “Tag Requested Interest”);

 

(B)            next, the Tag Transferor shall determine whether the Tag Third Party Transferee is willing to purchase all of the Tag Requested Interest. If the Tag Third Party Transferee is unwilling to purchase all of the Tag Requested Interest, then the Tag Transferor shall determine what percentage of the Tag Requested Interest such Tag Third Party Transferee is willing to purchase in the aggregate (the “Tag Purchased Percentage”) and the respective amounts of the Tag Requested Interest that the Tag Transferor and each of the exercising Tag Offerees otherwise would have sold shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the respective total amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments that such Lenders desired to sell as compared to the respective total amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments to be purchased by the Tag Third Party Transferee) so as to permit the Tag Transferor and the Tag Offerees to each sell in the aggregate an amount of Loans and unfunded Commitments equal to the product of (x) the respective total amounts of Loans and unfunded Commitments included in the Tag Requested Interest multiplied by (y) the Tag Purchased Percentage (the “Tag Purchased Interest”).

 

(iv)           At the time (subject to extension to the extent necessary to pursue any required regulatory approvals) and place provided for the closing in the Tag-Along Offer, or at such other time and place as the Tag Offerees, the Tag Transferor and the Tag Third Party Transferee shall agree, the Tag Offerees and the Tag Transferor shall sell to the Tag Third Party Transferee all of the Tag Purchased Interest.

 

(v)           Each Tag-Along Sale shall be upon terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable individually and in the aggregate to the purchaser than those in the Tag-Along Offer and the Tag-Along Notice and upon the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, each Lender holding any portion of the Tag Purchased Interest (as determined immediately prior to the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale) shall receive the consideration specified in Section  10.6(k)(vi). Each Tag Offeree shall agree (A) to make the same representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements to the Tag Third Party Transferee as made by the Tag Transferor in connection with the Tag-Along Sale and (B) to the same terms and conditions to the Tag-Along Sale as the Tag Transferor agrees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, all such representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and agreements shall be made by the Tag Transferor and each Tag Offeree severally and not jointly, and any liability for breach of any such representations and warranties related to the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries shall be allocated among the Tag Transferor and each Tag Offeree pro rata based on the relative amount of consideration received by each of them in such Tag-Along Sale, and the aggregate amount of liability for the Tag Transferor and each Tag Offeree shall not exceed the value of the total consideration to be paid by the Tag Third Party Transferee to the Tag Transferor and such Tag Offeree.

 

122

(vi)           Upon the consummation of a Tag-Along Sale, each Lender holding any portion of the Tag Purchased Interest shall receive a portion of the aggregate consideration for the Tag Purchased Interest sold pursuant to a Tag-Along Sale on a pro rata basis (based on the respective total amount of the Tag Purchased Interest that such Lender sold as compared to the total amount of the Tag Purchased Interest purchased by the Tag Third Party Transferee and the aggregate consideration paid in respect of such portions of the Tag Purchased Interest).

 

(vii)           The Tag-Along Right shall not apply with respect to any of the following Transfers (each an “Excluded Tag Transfer”):

 

(A)           a Transfer made to an Affiliate of the Tag Transferor;

 

(B)            a Transfer made in connection with a determination by GS in good faith that the continued ownership of the Loans and unfunded Commitments (for the avoidance of doubt, either at the relevant date of determination or at a future date) is unlawful or creates, or could reasonably be expected to create, significant and adverse legal, regulatory or reputational consequences to GS; or

 

(C)            a Transfer whereby the fair market value of the Loans and unfunded Commitments to be Transferred by GS (as such fair market value is determined by GS in good faith) constitutes less than forty percent of the fair market value of all assets being directly or indirectly sold or otherwise transferred in connection with such Transfer.

 

10.7.        Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

 

10.8.        Survival of Representations, Warranties and Agreements. All representations, warranties and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the making of any Credit Extension. Notwithstanding anything herein or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of each Credit Party set forth in Sections  2.14, 2.15, 2.16, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.10 and the agreements of Lenders set forth in Sections  2.14, 9.3(b) and 9.6 shall survive the payment of the Loans and the termination hereof.

 

10.9.        No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on the part of any Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other power, right or privilege. The rights, powers and remedies given to each Agent and each Lender hereby are cumulative and shall be in addition to and independent of all rights, powers and remedies existing by virtue of any statute or rule of law or in any of the other Credit Documents. Any forbearance or failure to exercise, and any delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof, nor shall it preclude the further exercise of any such right, power or remedy.

 

123

10.10.    Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither any Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Credit Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any Credit Party makes a payment or payments to Administrative Agent, or Lenders (or to Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders), or Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, or Lenders enforce any security interests or exercise their rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, any other state or federal law, common law or any equitable cause, then, to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor or related thereto, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment or payments had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

10.11.    Severability. In case any provision in or obligation hereunder or any Note or other Credit Document shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

10.12.    Obligations Several; Actions in Concert. The obligations of Lenders hereunder are several, and no Lender shall be responsible for the obligations or Commitment of any other Lender hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Credit Document, and no action taken by Lenders pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute Lenders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity. Anything in this Agreement or any other Credit Document to the contrary notwithstanding, each Lender hereby agrees with each other Lender that no Lender shall take any action to protect or enforce its rights arising out of this Agreement or any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations without first obtaining the prior written consent of the applicable Agent or Requisite Lenders (as applicable), it being the intent of Lenders that any such action to protect or enforce rights under this Agreement and any Note or otherwise with respect to the Obligations shall be taken in concert and at the direction or with the consent of the applicable Agent or Requisite Lenders (as applicable).

 

10.13.    Headings. Section headings herein are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part hereof for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

 

10.14.    APPLICABLE LAW. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES (OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW) THEREOF.

 

124

10.15.    CONSENT TO JURISDICTION.

10.17.    Confidentiality. Each Lender shall hold all non-public information regarding the Companies and their Subsidiaries and their businesses identified as such by the Companies and obtained by such Lender pursuant to the requirements hereof in accordance with such Lender’s customary procedures for handling confidential information of such nature, it being understood and agreed by the Companies that, in any event, a Lender may make (a) disclosures of such information to Affiliates of such Lender and to their agents and advisors (and to other persons authorized by a Lender or Agent to organize, present or disseminate such information in connection with disclosures otherwise made in accordance with this Section  10.17), (b) disclosures of such information reasonably required by any bona fide or potential assignee, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated assignment, transfer or participation by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided, such counterparties and advisors are advised of and agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section  10.17), (c) disclosure to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Credit Parties received by it from any of the Agents or any Lender, (d) disclosure to any Lender’s financing sources, provided, that prior to any disclosure, such financing source is informed of the confidential nature of the information, and (e) disclosures required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or by the NAIC or pursuant to legal or judicial process or other legal proceeding; provided, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall make reasonable efforts to notify the Companies of any request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with any examination of the financial condition or other routine examination of such Lender by such Governmental Authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent and Beekman may, at their own respective expense issue news releases and publish “tombstone” advertisements and other announcements relating to this transaction in newspapers, trade journals and other appropriate media (which may include use of logos of one or more of the Credit Parties) (collectively, “Trade Announcements”). No Credit Party shall issue any Trade Announcement except (i) disclosures required by applicable law, regulation, legal process or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission or (ii) with the prior approval of Administrative Agent and Requisite Lenders.

 

126

10.18.    Usury Savings Clause. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged or agreed to be paid with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest which would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, the Companies shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and the Companies to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws. Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration which constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to the Companies. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest, throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

10.19.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which may be executed by electronic transmission of copies of executed counterpart signature pages (including by exchange of “.pdf” images) and, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

127

10.20.    Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution of one or more counterparts hereof by each of the parties hereto and receipt by the Companies and Administrative Agent of such executed counterparts by hand-delivery or electronic transmission.

 

10.21.    Patriot Act. Each Lender and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Companies that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Companies, which information includes the name and address of the Companies and other information that will allow such Lender or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Companies in accordance with the PATRIOT Act.

 

10.22.    Intercreditor Agreement. The Liens granted to Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties pursuant to any Credit Document and the exercise of any right or remedy by Collateral Agent or the Secured Parties thereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement with respect to such Liens, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.
