(b)           Notice to Each Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate.  Each Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment or due waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Closing Date and any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

 

(c)           Non-Funding Lenders.

 

(i)            Non-Funding Lenders Responsibility.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower, the Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer.  In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described above agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount

 

36



 

is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (a) in the case of a payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and (b) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation.  The existence of any Non-Funding Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Non-Funding Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document other than as expressly set forth herein.

 

(ii)           Reallocation.  If any Revolving Credit Lender is a Non-Funding Lender, all or a portion of such Non-Funding Lender’s L/C Obligations (unless such Lender is the L/C Issuer that issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (calculated as if the Non-Funding Lender’s Pro Rata Share was reduced to zero and each other Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share had been increased proportionately), provided that no Revolving Credit Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans, outstanding L/C Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment.

 

(iii)          Borrower Payments to a Non-Funding Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to hold, in a non-interest bearing account, all portions of any payments received by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any Non-Funding Lender pursuant to this Agreement as cash collateral.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to use such cash collateral to pay in full the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount to the appropriate Secured Parties thereof, and then, to hold as cash collateral the amount of such Non-Funding Lender’s pro rata share, without giving effect to any reallocation pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii), of all L/C Obligations until the Obligations are paid in full in cash, all L/C Obligations have been discharged or cash collateralized and all Commitments have been terminated.  Upon any such unfunded obligations owing by a Non-Funding Lender becoming due and payable, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to use such cash collateral to make such payment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender.  With respect to such Non-Funding Lender’s failure to fund Revolving Loans or purchase participations in Letters of Credit or L/C Obligations, any amounts applied by the Administrative Agent to satisfy such funding shortfalls shall be deemed to constitute a Revolving Loan or amount of the participation required to be funded and, if necessary to effectuate the foregoing, the other Revolving Credit Lenders shall be deemed to have sold, and such Non-Funding Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, Revolving Loans or Letter of Credit participation interests from the other Revolving Credit Lenders until such time as the aggregate amount of the Revolving Loans and

 

37



 

participations in Letters of Credit and L/C Obligations are held by the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility.  Any amounts owing by a Non-Funding Lender to the Administrative Agent which are not paid when due shall accrue interest at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is holding cash collateral of a Non-Funding Lender that cures pursuant to clause (iv) below or ceases to be a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the definition of Non-Funding Lender, the Administrative Agent shall return the unused portion of such cash collateral to such Lender. The “Aggregate Excess Funding Amount” of a Non-Funding Lender shall be the aggregate amount of (A) all unpaid obligations owing by such Lender to the Administrative Agent, L/C Issuers, Swingline Lender, and other Lenders under the Loan Documents, including such Lender’s pro rata share of all Revolving Loans, L/C Obligations, Swing Line Loans, plus, without duplication, (B) all amounts of such Non-Funding Lender reallocated to other Lenders pursuant to subsection Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

(iv)          Cure.  A Lender may cure its status as a Non-Funding Lender under clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender if such Lender fully pays to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the applicable Secured Parties, the Aggregate Excess Funding Amount, plus all interest due thereon.  Any such cure shall not relieve any Lender from liability for breaching its contractual obligations hereunder.

 

(v)           Fees.  A Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lender shall not earn and shall not be entitled to receive, and the Borrower shall not be required to pay, such Lender’s portion of the Unused Commitment Fee during the time such Lender is a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to clause (a) thereof.  In the event that any reallocation of L/C Obligations occurs pursuant to Section 2.2(c)(ii)), during the period of time that such reallocation remains in effect, the Letter of Credit Fee payable with respect to such reallocated portion shall be payable to (A) all Revolving Credit Lenders based on their pro rata share of such reallocation or (B) to the L/C Issuer for any remaining portion not reallocated to any other Revolving Credit Lenders.

 

Section 2.3             Swing Loans.  (a) Availability.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make loans in Dollars (each a “Swing Loan”) available to the Borrower under the Revolving Credit Facility from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed its Swingline Commitment; provided, however, that the Swingline Lender may not make any Swing Loan (x) to the extent that after giving effect to such Swing Loan, the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments and (y) in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 are not satisfied and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.  In connection with the making of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender may but shall not be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived.  Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must

be repaid in full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

 

(b)           Borrowing Procedures.  In order to request a Swing Loan, the Borrower Representative shall give to the Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D duly completed (a “Swingline Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such borrowing, with such a Swingline Request.  In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swing Line Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.2, make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan.  Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to the Administrative Agent and, in turn, the Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available to the Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request.

 

(c)           Refinancing Swing Loans.  The Swingline Lender may at any time forward a demand to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Credit Lender) that each Revolving Credit Lender pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay such Pro Rata Share to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.  Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan.  In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e), each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan.  If any payment made by any Revolving Credit Lender as a result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation.  Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded.  Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Credit Lender all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion.

 

(d)           Obligation to Fund Absolute.  Each Revolving Credit Lender’s obligations pursuant to clause (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all

 

39



 

circumstances whatsoever, including (a) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swing Loan Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (b) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied or the failure of the Borrower Representative to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.2(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.

 

Section 2.4             Letters of Credit.  (a) Commitment and Conditions.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of the Borrower Representative, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of the Borrower (or, as long as the Borrower remains responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any Group Member), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars and with face amounts that are multiples of $1,000,000) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and 7 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance:

 

(i)            (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings would exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit;

 

(ii)           the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (C) is later than 7 days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one year as long as (x) each of the Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; or

 

(iii)          (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by the Borrower (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other Group Member, such Group Member), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”).

 

For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving

 

40



 

Credit Lenders that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.

 

(b)           Notice of Issuance.  Borrower Representative shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance.  Such notice may be made in a writing substantially the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Issuance, with such an L/C Request.

 

(c)           Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers.  Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide the Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, the Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates:  (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, (ii) upon the request of the Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Credit Lender through the Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar week, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar week.

 

(d)           Acquisition of Participations.  Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations.

 

(e)           Reimbursement Obligations of the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after the Borrower receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below.  In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by the Borrower as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by the Borrower with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment

 

41



 

in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

 

(f)            Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders.  Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above from the Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations.  Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded.  Upon receipt by any L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments received after such payment by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion.

 

(g)           Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of the Borrower and the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Group Member) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (iii) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Credit Lender, (A) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of the Borrower or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

 

(h)           Non-Funding Lenders and Impacted Lenders.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (i) the Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 2.18 or Section 11.2, (ii) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been cash collateralized, (iii) the Revolving Credit Commitments of the other Revolving Credit Lenders have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Administrative Agent that all future L/C

 

42



 

Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Credit Lenders that are not Non-Funding Lenders or Impacted Lenders, or (iv) the L/C Obligations of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender have been reallocated to other Revolving Credit Lenders in a manner consistent with Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

(i)            WFCF as L/C Issuer.  In addition to the foregoing, for so long as WFCF or an Affiliate is the L/C Issuer of a Letter of Credit (in each case, a “Wells L/C Issuer”), the Borrowers, Administrative Agent and WFCF, in its capacity as agent for such L/C Issuer, shall comply with the terms of that certain side letter dated as of the Closing Date which sets forth the procedures to be followed by the Wells L/C Issuer (the “Wells L/C Side Letter”).  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 2.4 and the Wells L/C Side Letter with respect to any Letter of Credit Issued by a Wells L/C Issuer, the terms of the Wells L/C Side Letter shall control.

 

Section 2.5             Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.  (a) Optional.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably any unused portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

 

(b)           Mandatory.  All outstanding Commitments shall terminate on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.6            Repayment of Loans.  The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.7            Optional Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Loan in whole or in part at any time (together with accrued interest and any breakage costs that may be owing pursuant to Section 2.16(a) after giving effect to such prepayment); provided, however, that each partial prepayment that is not of the entire outstanding amount under any Facility shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

 

Section 2.8            Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)           Reserved.

 

(b)           Reserved.

 

(c)           Reserved.

 

(d)           Indenture Prepayments.   Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.8, at any time when any Group Member consummates any [“Asset Sale”] as defined in the Indenture (together with any term of similar effect), on or prior to the 364th day after the date of such Asset Sale, the Borrower shall, pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount, not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Credit Outstandings and such Net Cash Proceeds (or such [“Excess Proceeds”] as defined in the Indenture (together with any term of similar effect)).

 

43



 

(e)           Excess Outstandings.  On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings exceeds the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess.

 

(f)            Application of Payments.  Any payments made to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

 

Section 2.9             Interest.  (a) Rate.  All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Secured Hedging Agreements) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and, in the case of such other Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:  (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect from time to time, (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate and the Applicable Margin, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iii) in the case of other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, each as in effect from time to time.

 

(b)           Payments.  Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan, (A) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (B) (1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swing Loan), on the last day of each calendar quarter commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan, (2) if such Loan is a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every 3 months from the first day of such Interest Period and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from any after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).

 

(c)           Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon (A) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1 (d) or (e) or (B) the delivery of a notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation) then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to such Obligations from time to time, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

 

(d)           Savings Clause.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments of interest shall not be required, for any period for which interest is computed hereunder, to the extent (but only to the extent) that contracting for or receiving such payment by the respective Lender would be contrary to the provisions of any law applicable to such Lender limiting the highest rate of interest which may be lawfully contracted for, charged or received by such Lender, and in such

 

44



 

event the Borrower shall pay such Lender interest at the highest rate permitted by applicable law (“Maximum Lawful Rate”); provided, however, that if at any time thereafter the rate of interest payable hereunder is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest hereunder at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest received by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of Lenders, is equal to the total interest that would have been received had the interest payable hereunder been (but for the operation of this paragraph) the interest rate payable since the Closing Date as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

 

Section 2.10           Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a) Option.  The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans), to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon 3 Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans having such Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or continuations, (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15, or (3) prior to the Syndication Completion Date, such conversion or continuation would result in a Eurodollar Rate Loan having an Interest Period in excess of one month.

 

(b)           Procedure.  Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least 3 Business Days’ prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower Representative containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan.  Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable Facility in accordance with their Pro Rata Share.

 

Section 2.11           Fees.  (a) Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender exceeds its Pro Rata Share of the sum of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (ii) the outstanding amount of the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the date hereof through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears (x) on the last day of each calendar quarter and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

45


 

(b)           Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to such L/C Issuer, the fees, documentary and processing charges as separately agreed between the Borrower and such L/C Issuer or otherwise in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s standard schedule in effect at the time of determination thereof, (ii) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuer, a fronting fee equal to 0.25% per annum multiplied by the face amount of such Letter of Credit and (iii) to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders according to their Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) accruing at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letters of Credit, such fees under clauses (ii) and (iii) shall be payable in arrears (A) on the last day of each calendar month, ending after the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (B) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that the fee payable under clause (iii) shall be increased by 2% per annum and shall be payable, in addition to being payable on any date it is otherwise required to be paid hereunder, on demand effective immediately upon (x) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(e)(ii) or (y) the delivery of a notice by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to the Borrower during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing.

 

(c)           Additional Fees.  The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent and its Related Persons its reasonable and customary fees and expenses in connection with any payments made pursuant to Section 2.16(a) (Breakage Costs) and has agreed to pay the additional fees described in the Fee Letter.

 

Section 2.12          Application of Payments.  (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments.  Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied to repay the Obligations the Borrower designates.

 

(b)           Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below with respect to the application of payments during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) shall be applied first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and the Swing Loans (provided that any payment made pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be made without a concurrent reduction in the Revolving Credit Commitment), and second, in the case of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.8(e), to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner in Section 9.3 and, then, any excess shall be retained by the Borrower.

 

(c)           Application of Payments During an Event of Default.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the direction of the Required Lenders or (B) the termination of any Commitment or the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligation, all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and

 

46



 

all other proceeds of Collateral (i) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (ii) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the L/C Issuers, (iii) third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, (iv) fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.3 (v) fifth, to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedging Agreements and (vi) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.

 

(d)           Application of Payments Generally.  All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on Swing Loans, on any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations and third, to repay the Revolving Loans.  All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.  If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations.  Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding

 

Section 2.13          Payments and Computations.  (a) Procedure.  The Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 11:00 a.m. on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer or ACH transfer (which shall be the exclusive means of payment hereunder) to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12.  The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim.  Each Revolving Credit Lender shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender required pursuant to Section 2.3 or 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

(b)           Computations of Interests and Fees.  All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is calculated based on the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate”, 365/366 days), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)           Payment Dates.  Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.

 

(d)           Advancing Payments.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the applicable Facility) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.14          Evidence of Debt.  (a) Records of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of

 

48



 

ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (a) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (b) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder.

 

(b)           Records of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower Representative) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer in the Revolving Credit Outstandings, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

 

(c)           Registered Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.  This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c) (2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).

 

(d)           Prima Facie Evidence.  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No

 

49



 

Lender or L/C Issuer shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.

 

(e)           Notes.  Upon any Lender’s request, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in a Facility and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note for each Facility shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances.  Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

 

Section 2.15          Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

 

(a)           Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (a) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (b) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(b)           Illegality.  If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(c)           Effect of Suspension.  If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (C) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (D) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall

 

50



 

automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan.

 

Section 2.16          Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.  (a) Breakage Costs.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to the Borrower Representative (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may incur (a) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Non-Funding Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (b) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (c) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market.

 

(b)           Increased Costs.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

 

(c)           Increased Capital Requirements.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the date hereof, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time

 

51



 

to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

 

(d)           Compensation Certificate.  Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 2.16, no Loan Party shall be required to compensate any Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section 2.16 for any amount incurred more than 180 days prior to the deliver of such certificate; provided, however, that such period shall be extended in the case of a reduction caused by any event having a retroactive effect to include the period of retroactive effect).

 

Section 2.17          Taxes.  (a) Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.17, each payment by any Loan Party to, on behalf of, or at the direction of, any Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed, levied, collected, assessed or administered by an Governmental Authority and all liabilities with respect thereto (and without deduction for any of them) (collectively, but excluding the taxes set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) below, the “Taxes”) other than for (i) taxes measured by net income (however denominated, including branch profits taxes) and franchise taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, in each case imposed on such Secured Party as a result of a present or former connection between such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than such connection arising solely from any Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document) or (ii) taxes that are directly attributable to the failure (other than as a result of a change in any Requirement of Law) by any Secured Party to deliver the documentation required to be delivered pursuant to clause (f) below.

 

(b)           Gross-Up.  If any Taxes shall be required by law to be deducted from or in respect of any amount payable under any Loan Document (other than any Secured Hedging Agreement) to any Secured Party (i) such amount shall be increased as necessary to ensure that, after all required deductions for Taxes are made (including deductions applicable to any increases to any amount under this Section 2.17), such Secured Party receives the amount it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the relevant Loan Party shall make such deductions, (iii) the relevant Loan Party shall timely pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and (iv) within 30 days after such payment is made, the relevant Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such increase shall be made with respect to, and no Loan Party shall be required to indemnify any such Secured Party pursuant to clause (d) below for, (x) withholding taxes to the extent that the obligation to withhold amounts existed on the date that such Secured Party became a “Secured Party” under this Agreement in the capacity under which such Secured Party makes a claim under this clause (b), designated a new lending office through which it has begun

 

52



 

to maintain its Loan(s) and which maintenance through such office causes such increase or experiences a change in circumstances (other than a change in a Requirement of Law), except in each case to the extent such Secured Party is a direct or indirect assignee (other than pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders)) of any other Secured Party that was entitled, at the time the assignment of such other Secured Party became effective or such Secured Party was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office or change in circumstances to receive additional amounts under this clause (b) or (y) any United States backup withholding tax to the extent required by Code Section 3406 and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under such section to be withheld from amounts payable to a Secured Party that is subject to backup withholding due to the IRS notifying the Administrative Agent or the Borrower of payee underreporting of reportable interest or dividend payments or that the furnished taxpayer identification number is incorrect (provided, however, that the relevant Secured Party shall be given a reasonable period of time to provide the correct taxpayer identification number before any amounts are withheld).

 

(c)           Other Taxes.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other Taxes”).  The Swingline Lender may, without any need for notice, demand or consent from the Borrower, by making funds available to the Administrative Agent in the amount equal to any such payment, make a Swing Loan to the Borrower in such amount, the proceeds of which shall be used by the Administrative Agent in whole to make such payment.  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 11.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)           Indemnification.  The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.17) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (d), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower Representative with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, the Administrative Agent and such Secured Party may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Failure or delay on the part of any Secured Party to demand indemnification pursuant to this Section 2.17(d) shall not constitute a waiver of such Secured Party’s right to demand and receive indemnification from Loan Parties; provided, however that the Borrower shall not have any obligation to indemnify the Secured Party for (i) any additional interest related to any Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent that such additional interest represents interest accrued for the period beginning 180 days after the date the Secured Party received written notice of the imposition of such Taxes or Other Taxes and ending

 

53



 

on the date the Secured Party notified the Borrower or Borrower Representative of the same (to the extent such Secured Party failed to notify the Borrower or Borrower Representative during such 180-day period) or (ii) additional penalties to the extent such additional penalties are incurred as a result of such Secured Party’s failure to notify the Borrower or Borrower Representative within the 180-day period referred to in the preceding clause (i).

 

(e)           Mitigation.  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.17 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

(f)            Tax Forms.  (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party that, at any of the following times, is entitled to an exemption from United States withholding tax or is subject to such withholding tax at a reduced rate under an applicable tax treaty shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (i) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable:  (a) Forms W-8ECI (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming exemption from, or a reduction of, U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor forms, (b) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(a) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c) (3)(b) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c) (3)(c) of the Code or (c) any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax or reduced rate with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents.  For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence shall not be construed to require any Non-U.S. Lender Party to provide a form that it is not legally entitled to provide.  Unless the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent have received forms or other documents satisfactory to them indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Non-U.S. Lender Party are not subject to United States withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable Requirements of Law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.  In addition, to the extent requested by the Borrower, each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall take any reasonable action permissible under the laws applicable to such Non-U.S. Lender Party to comply with any information gathering or reporting requirements, in each case, that are required to obtain the maximum permitted exemption from U.S. federal withholding taxes available under

 

54



 

Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code and any regulations or official interpretations thereof with respect to withholdable payments received by or on behalf of such Non-U.S. Lender Party (for the avoidance of doubt, this sentence shall apply only to the extent that any withholding is required under Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code in respect of such payments).

 

(i)            Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.

 

(ii)           Each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent shall collect from such participant or SPV the documents described in this clause (f) and provide them to the Administrative Agent.

 

(g)           If a Secured Party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by any Loan Party or with respect to which any Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay over such refund to such Loan Party (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by any Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expense of such Secured Party and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to the portion of such refund payable to such Loan Party); provided, that Loan Parties, upon the request of such Secured Party, agree to repay to such Secured Party the amount paid over to the Loan Parties (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any Secured Party to make available or otherwise disclose any confidential information or documentation (including, without limitation, any tax returns) to any Person (including any party hereto) or otherwise make any accounting of or with respect to any tax refund to any Person.

 

Section 2.18          Substitution of Lenders.  (a) Substitution Right.  In the event that any Lender in any Facility that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan in such Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17(b) (Taxes), (iv) becomes a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender with respect to such Facility or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in such Facility, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected

 

55


 

 

Lender with respect to amounts due in such Facility with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender in such Facility any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to a Lender that is a Non-Funding Lender or an Impacted Lender, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, obtain a Substitute Lender and execute an Assignment on behalf of such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender at any time with three Business’ Days prior notice to such Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender (unless notice is not practicable under the circumstances) and cause such Lender’s Loans and Commitments to be sold and assigned, in whole or in part, at par.

 

(b)           Procedure.  To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender under such Facility, the Borrower Representative shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender.  The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to such Facility (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender in such Facility), (ii) in the case of a payment in full of the Obligations owing to such Affected Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility, payment of any amount that, after giving effect to the termination of the Commitment of such Affected Lender, is required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.8(e) (Excess Outstandings) and (iii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Commitment of the Affected Lender under such Facility.

 

(c)           Effectiveness.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in any Facility, such Affected Lender’s Commitments in such Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in any Facility, (A) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to such Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Commitment in such Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment in such Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to such Facility; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.  Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower or the Administrative Agent exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as an Affected Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance

 

56



 

with Section 11.2.  In the event that a Lender does not comply with the requirements of the immediately preceding sentence within one Business Day after receipt of such notice, each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement or other documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 11.2 on behalf of an Affected Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 11.2.

 

Section 2.19          Appointment of Borrower Representative.

 

(a)           Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to request and receive the proceeds of advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of such Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from Lenders in the name or on behalf of each such Borrower.  Administrative Agent may disburse such proceeds to the bank account of Borrower Representative (or any one or more Borrower) without notice to any other Borrower or any other Loan Party.

 

(b)           Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes the Borrower Representative as its agent to (i) receive statements of account and all other notices from Administrative Agent with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) execute and deliver Compliance Certificates and all other notices, certificates and documents to be executed and/or delivered by any Loan Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (iii) otherwise act on behalf of such Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           The authorizations contained in this Section 2.19 are coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable, and Administrative Agent may rely on any notice, request, information supplied by the Borrower Representative, every document executed by the Borrower Representative, every agreement made by the Borrower Representative or other action taken by the Borrower Representative in respect of any Borrower or other Loan Party as if the same were supplied, made or taken by such Borrower or Loan Party.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the failure of one or more Borrower or other Loan Party to join in the execution of any writing in connection herewith shall not relieve any Borrower or other Loan Party from obligations in respect of such writing.

 

(d)           No purported termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent shall be effective without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

 

Section 2.20          Joint and Several Liability.

 

(a)           Each Borrower shall be jointly and severally liable for all of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement, regardless of which Borrower actually receives the proceeds or other benefits of the Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder or the manner in which Borrower, Administrative Agent or any Lender accounts therefor in their respective books and records.

(b)           Each Borrower acknowledges that it will enjoy significant benefits from the business conducted by each other Borrower because of, inter alia, their combined ability to bargain with other Persons including without limitation their ability to receive the Loans and other credit extensions under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which would not have been available to any Borrower acting alone.  Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest to procure the credit facilities contemplated hereunder, with the credit support of each other Borrower as contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)           Each of the Agent and the Lenders have advised Borrowers that it is unwilling to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and make available the credit facilities extended hereby or thereby to any Borrower unless each Borrower agrees, among other things, to be jointly and severally liable for the due and proper payment of the Obligations of each other Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Each Borrower has determined that it is in its best interest and in pursuit of its purposes that it so induce the Lenders to extend credit pursuant to this Agreement and the other documents executed in connection herewith (A) because of the desirability to each Borrower of the credit facilities hereunder and the interest rates and the modes of borrowing available hereunder and thereunder, (B) because each Borrower may engage in transactions jointly with other Borrowers and (C) because each Borrower may require, from time to time, access to funds under this Agreement for the purposes herein set forth.  Each Borrower, individually, expressly understands, agrees and acknowledges, that the credit facilities contemplated hereunder would not be made available on the terms herein in the absence of the collective credit of all the Borrowers, and the joint and several liability of all the Borrowers.  Accordingly, each Borrower acknowledges that the benefit of the accommodations made under this Agreement to the Borrower, as a whole, constitutes reasonably equivalent value, regardless of the amount of the indebtedness actually borrowed by, advanced to, or the amount of credit provided to, or the amount of collateral provided by, any one Borrower.

 

(d)           The Borrower Representative (on behalf of each Borrower) shall maintain records specifying (A) all Obligations incurred by each Borrower, (B) the date of such incurrence, (C) the date and amount of any payments made in respect of such Obligations and (D) all inter-Borrower obligations pursuant to this Section.  The Borrower Representative shall make copies of such records available to the Agent, upon request.

 

(e)           To the extent that applicable law otherwise would render the full amount of the joint and several obligations of any Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents invalid or unenforceable, such Person’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be limited to the maximum amount which does not result in such invalidity or unenforceability; provided, however, that each Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be presumptively valid and enforceable to their fullest extent in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, as if this Section were not a part of this Agreement.

 

(f)            To the extent that any Borrower shall make a payment under this Section of all or any of the Obligations (a “Joint Liability Payment”) which, taking into account all other Joint Liability Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Borrower, exceeds the amount that such Borrower would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid the

 

58



 

aggregate Obligations satisfied by such Joint Liability Payments in the same proportion that such Person’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each Borrower as determined immediately prior to the making of such Joint Liability Payments, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations and termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Borrower for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Joint Liability Payments.  As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Borrower shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Borrower under this Section without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under §548 of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law.

 

(g)           Each Borrower assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of each other Borrower, and any and all endorsers and/or guarantors of any instrument or document evidencing all or any part of such other Borrower’s Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment by such other Borrower of their Obligations and each Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall not have any duty to advise such Borrower of information known to Administrative Agent or any Lender regarding such condition or any such circumstances or to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine.  If Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Borrower, Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be under any obligation to update any such information or to provide any such information to such Borrower or any other Person on any subsequent occasion.

 

(h)           Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, without notice or demand and without affecting the liability of any Borrower hereunder, to, at any time and from time to time, (A) renew, extend, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment of, or other terms relating to, Obligations incurred by any Borrower or other Loan Party, otherwise modify, amend or change the terms of any promissory note or other agreement, document or instrument now or hereafter executed by any Borrower or other Loan Party and delivered to Administrative Agent or any Lender; (B) accept partial payments on an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (C) take and hold security or collateral for the payment of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower hereunder or for the payment of any guaranties of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower or other liabilities of any Borrower and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security or collateral; (D) apply such security or collateral and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Administrative Agent, in it’s sole respective discretion, may determine; and (E) settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate an Obligation incurred by any Borrower and any security or collateral therefor in any manner, without affecting or impairing the obligations of any other Borrower.  Administrative Agent shall have the exclusive right to determine the time and manner of application of any payments or credits, whether received from a Borrower or any other source, and such determination shall be binding on each Borrower.  All such payments and credits may be applied, reversed and reapplied, in whole or in part, to any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower as Administrative Agent shall determine in it’s respective sole discretion without affecting the validity or enforceability of the Obligations of any other

 

59



 

Borrower.  Nothing in this Section 2.20(h) shall modify any right of any Borrower to consent to any amendment or modification of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(i)            Each Borrower hereby agrees that, except as hereinafter provided, its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of (A) the absence of any attempt to collect an Obligation incurred by Borrower from any Borrower or any guarantor or other action to enforce the same; (B) the waiver or consent by Administrative Agent with respect to any provision of any instrument evidencing an Obligation incurred by Borrower, or any part thereof, or any other agreement heretofore, now or hereafter executed by a Borrower and delivered to Administrative Agent; (C) failure by Administrative Agent to take any steps to perfect and maintain its security interest in, or to preserve its rights to, any security or collateral for an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; (D) the institution of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any similar proceeding, by or against any Borrower or other Loan Party, Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s election in any such proceeding of the application of §1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; (E) any borrowing or grant of a security interest by any Borrower as debtor-in-possession under §364 of the Bankruptcy Code; (F) the disallowance, under §502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s claim(s) for repayment of any of an Obligation incurred by any Borrower; or (G) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor.

 

(j)            Any notice given by Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute and be deemed to be notice given by all Borrowers, jointly and severally.  Notice given by Administrative Agent or any Lender to Borrower Representative hereunder or pursuant to any other Loan Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof shall constitute notice each Borrower.  The knowledge of any Borrower shall be imputed to all Borrowers and any consent by Borrower Representative or any Borrower shall constitute the consent of and shall bind all Borrowers.

 

(k)           This Section is intended only to define the relative rights of Borrower and nothing set forth in this Section is intended to or shall impair the obligations of Borrower, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents.  Nothing contained in this Section shall limit the liability of any Borrower to pay the credit facilities made directly or indirectly to such Borrower and accrued interest, fees and expenses with respect thereto for which such Borrower shall be primarily liable.

 

(l)            The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of each Borrower to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.  The rights of any indemnifying Borrower against the other Borrowers under this Section shall be exercisable upon the full and indefeasible payment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

 

(m)          No payment made by or for the account of a Borrower, including, without limitation, (A) a payment made by such Borrower on behalf of an Obligation of another Borrower or (B) a payment made by any other person under any guaranty, shall entitle such Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, to any payment from such other Borrower or from or out of property of such other Borrower and such Borrower shall not exercise any right or remedy

 

60



 

against such other Borrower or any property of such other Borrower by reason of any performance of such Borrower of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

 

Section 2.21          Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

 

(a)           Request for Commitment Increase.  Provided (i) no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) after giving effect to the making of the additional loans referred to below, Borrower would be in compliance on a pro forma basis with the covenants set forth in Article 5, and (iii) such proposed increase is permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, Borrower may, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent may be granted or withheld in its sole discretion) and upon providing notice from Borrower Representative to the Administrative Agent at any time following the Closing Date request one or more increases in the amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments to be made available to Borrower (each such increase a “Revolving Credit Commitment Increase”).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000.

 

(b)           Additional Lenders.  At the time of such notice, Borrower (in consultation with Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond in writing (which shall, in no event, be less than ten (10) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to Lenders).  No Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase unless it so agrees.  Each Lender may participate in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase up to its Pro Rata Share of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or any portion thereof.  If the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase is not fully committed by the Lenders, any Lender that has agreed to participate in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase may agree in writing to increase its participation in the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase up to the excess of the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase over the aggregate amount of pro rata commitments received from Lenders; provided that if the excess of the proposed Revolving Credit Commitment Increase over the aggregate amount of pro rata commitments received from Lenders is oversubscribed, each Lender electing to participate in such excess amount may participate up to its Pro Rata Share of such excess amount.   To the extent any portion of such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, as the case may be, is not fully subscribed by existing Lenders, Borrower or Administrative Agent may invite additional banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent to become Lenders.  Any additional financial institution (each an “Additional Lender” and, together with any Lender that agrees to participate in a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, each a “Participating Lender” and collectively “Participating Lenders”) electing to participate in a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become a Lender hereunder.  A commitment in respect of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall become a Revolving Credit Commitment (or in the case of a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase to be provided by an existing Revolving Lender, an increase in such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment) under this Agreement.

 

(c)           Terms of Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Other than pricing, each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and Borrowing thereunder shall be under the same terms as Revolving Loans in respect of Revolving Credit Commitments existing prior to the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise

 

61



 

consented to by Borrower, Administrative Agent, and Lenders (including Participating Lenders), the Loans made under a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall bear interest at an interest rate no less than the interest rate then applicable to the Revolving Loans so funded and no more than fifty (50) basis points greater than the interest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans.  If Loans made under a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase shall bear interest at an interest rate greater than the interest rate then applicable to Revolving Loans, then the interest rate with respect to the then existing Revolving Loans, as applicable, shall be increased to the same interest rate as is applicable to the Revolving Loans, respectively, made under such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.   In addition, but without limiting the foregoing, (i) except as provided in the following sentence the percentage of all fees or original issue discounts payable to any Participating Lender on any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (other than compensation to arrangers or their Affiliates for arranging or underwriting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) shall not exceed the percentage of the upfront fees paid to any existing Lender on the outstanding Revolving Loans by more than two hundred (200) basis points and (ii) each component utilized in determining the pricing with respect thereto shall be the same as the Revolving Loans including, without limitation, the definitions of “Base Rate” and “LIBOR.”  If the percentage of fees or original issue discounts payable to any Participating Lender on account of such Participating Lender’s participation in any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase (other than compensation to arrangers or their Affiliates for arranging or underwriting such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase) exceeds the percentage of the upfront fees paid to any Lender on the Closing Date on account of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment on the Closing Date by more than two hundred (200) basis points, then each Lender that was a Lender on the Closing Date (including a Lender that is not a Participating Lender) shall receive additional fees with respect to its Revolving Credit Commitment equal to the percentage of fees or original issue discounts paid to such Participating Lender on account of such Participating Lender’s participation in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase less two hundred (200) basis points.

 

(d)           Modifications to Agreement.  Administrative Agent and Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Commitment Increase Effective Date”) of each Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and the final allocation.  Each Participating Lender shall make its share of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase available under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (a “Commitment Increase Amendment”) to this Agreement and the other Financing Documents, as applicable, giving effect to the modifications permitted by this Section 2.22, executed by the Loan Parties, each Participating Lender and Administrative Agent.  Subject to the rights of Lenders pursuant to Section 11.1 hereof, a Commitment Increase Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, amend such provisions of this Agreement and the other Financing Documents solely (but only to the extent) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.22, (including appropriate amendments to the definitions) required to afford the same treatment to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase as is applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments under the Agreement.

 

(e)           Other Documents.  As a condition precedent to any Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a certificate, executed by a Responsible Officer of Borrower Representative, certifying that such proposed increase is

 

62



 

permitted pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, together with such documents, opinions and certifications as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 

(f)            Adjustment of Revolving Loans.  Each Revolving Lender having a Revolving Credit Commitment prior to such Commitment Increase Effective Date shall, on such date, assign to each Revolving Lender and Additional Lender participating in such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, in consideration of the principal amount thereof, such interests in the Revolving Loans, Lender Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans outstanding on such date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans, participation interests in Lender Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans will be held by all Revolving Lenders (inclusive of Additional Lenders) ratably in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments after giving effect to such Revolving Credit Commitment Increase.

Section 7.9             Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Loans shall be used by the Borrower (and, to the extent distributed to them by the Borrower Representative, each other Loan Party) solely (a) to consummate Permitted Acquisitions and (b) for working capital and general corporate and similar purposes.

 

Section 7.10           Additional Collateral and Guaranties.  To the extent not delivered to the Administrative Agent on or before the Closing Date (including in respect of after-acquired property and Persons that become Subsidiaries or Unconsolidated Operating Entities of any Loan Party after the Closing Date), each Loan Party shall, promptly, do each of the following, unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent:

 

(a)           deliver to the Administrative Agent such modifications to the terms of the Loan Documents (or, to the extent applicable as determined by the Administrative Agent, such other documents), in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to ensure the following:

 

(i)            (A) each Subsidiary of any Loan Party that has entered into Guaranty Obligations with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower, (B) each

Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of any Loan Party, and (C) each Subsidiary of any Loan Party that is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and each Unconsolidated Operating Entity, in each case to the extent the Borrower elects to have its aggregate Investment in such Subsidiary or Unconsolidated Operating Entity not limited pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3(g), shall guaranty, as primary obligor and not as surety, the payment of the Obligations of the Borrower (provided that, at Administrative Agent’s sole option, each such Subsidiary and/or Unconsolidated Operating Entity shall join this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Borrower);

 

(ii)           each Loan Party (including any Person required to become a Guarantor or Borrower pursuant to clause (i) above) shall effectively grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in all of its property, including all of its Stock and Stock Equivalents and other Securities (including Stock, Stock Equivalents and other Securities of an Unconsolidated Operating Entity held by such Loan Party), as security for the Obligations of such Loan Party;

 

provided, however, that, unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise agree, in no event shall (x) any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary be required to guaranty the payment of any Obligation, (y) the Loan Parties, individually or collectively, be required to pledge in excess of 66% of the outstanding Voting Stock of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary or (z) a security interest be required to be granted on any property of any Excluded Foreign Subsidiary as security for any Obligation; and provided, further, that Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy the requirements set forth in this Section 7.10 with respect to Vidalia prior to the first day on which Vidalia operates after receipt of a Certificate of Need by the applicable Governmental Authority).

 

(b)           deliver to the Administrative Agent all documents representing all Stock, Stock Equivalents and other Securities pledged pursuant to the documents delivered pursuant to clause (a) above, together with undated powers or endorsements duly executed in blank;

 

(c)           to take all other actions necessary or advisable to ensure the validity or continuing validity of any guaranty for any Obligation or any Lien securing any Obligation, to perfect, maintain, evidence or enforce any Lien securing any Obligation or to ensure such Liens have the same priority as that of the Liens on similar Collateral set forth in the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date (or, for Collateral located outside the United States, a similar priority acceptable to the Administrative Agent), including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by the Loan Documents or applicable Requirements of Law or as the Administrative Agent may otherwise reasonably request; and

 

(d)           deliver to the Administrative Agent legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 7.10, which opinions shall be as reasonably required by, and in form and substance and from counsel reasonably satisfactory to, the Administrative Agent.

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any investment or income of any funds in any Cash Collateral Account.  From time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent may apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12.  No Group Member and no Person claiming on behalf of or through any Group Member shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all Commitments and the payment in full of all Obligations and, in the case of L/C Cash Collateral Accounts, the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit.

 

Section 7.12           Covenants Pertaining to Licensed Locations.  Each Loan Party will:

Section 7.13           Post-Closing Deliveries.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary of the Borrower to, (a) deliver to the Administrative Agent each item set forth on Schedule 7.13 in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (b) perform each action set forth on Schedule 7.13 in a manner reasonably satisfactory

 

83



 

to Administrative Agent, in each case (x) within the periods set forth opposite each such item or action on such Schedule and (y) unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in respect of any such item or action.

 

Section 7.14           Management Services Agreements.  The Borrower shall at all times maintain a valid, perfected Lien (subject to no other Liens other than Liens in favor of Administrative Agent and Second Lien Agent) on all PC Collateral to secure the obligations of such Professional Services Provider to such Loan Party, and shall maintain a current UCC-1 financing statement on record with the appropriate jurisdiction sufficient to perfect such Lien.  Each Borrower shall cause all its rights and interests in each Management Services Agreement (including, without limitation, its right and interest in the PC Collateral) to be validly assigned to, and subject to the perfected Lien of, Administrative Agent, and shall assign of record the related UCC-1 financing statements to Administrative Agent.  Borrower shall promptly (but in no event more than ten (10) days after execution thereof) provide Administrative Agent with a copy of each Management Services Agreement entered into with a Professional Services Provider after the Closing Date.  Borrower shall promptly notify Administrative Agent upon knowledge that any Professional Services Provider has (or intends to) (i) changed the legal name or organizational identification number of such Professional Services Provider as it appears in official filings in the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) changed the jurisdiction of incorporation or formation of such Professional Services Provider or designated any jurisdiction as an additional jurisdiction of incorporation for such Professional Services Provider, or changed the type of entity that it is, or (iii) changed its chief executive office or principal place of business.

 

Section 7.15           Reimbursement Reduction.  If CMS or any other Governmental Authority releases any news or official announcement, or otherwise takes immediate action, to make a material reduction in the amount of reimbursement that Borrower receives as part of its business for healthcare services rendered by any Borrower, or a Professional Services Provider that is party to a Management Services Agreement, then (i) Borrower Representative shall promptly, but in no event more than fifteen (15) Business Days after final published announcement by such Governmental Authority regarding such reduction, provide written notice to Administrative Agent, and (ii) upon request by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, Borrower Representative shall conduct a meeting, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders makes such request, by conference call, at which shall be present a Responsible Officer and such other officers of the Credit Parties as may be requested to attend by the Administrative Agent, in each case using reasonable credit judgment, to discuss with Administrative Agent such reductions announced or made by CMS or any other Governmental Authority, the impact upon the performance and operations of the Group Members, and the financial condition of the Group Members.

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender, L/C Issuer, Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Administrative Agent based thereon.

Section 10.7           Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender and each L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.  Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in to the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons.

Section 10.10         Release of Collateral or Guarantors.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b) (ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

 

(a)           any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Loan Party if all of the Securities of such Subsidiary owned by any Group Member are Sold in a Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 7.10; and

 

(b)           any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is Sold by a Loan Party in a Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 7.10 after giving effect to such Sale have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.2(d) or (e) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of the Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable by the holder of such Obligation, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations (or, in the case of any L/C Obligation, a back-up letter of credit has been issued), in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations and (D) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Loan Parties each in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(i)            waive any condition specified in Section 3.1, except any condition referring to any other provision of any Loan Document;

 

(ii)           increase the Commitment of such Lender or subject such Lender to any additional obligation;

 

(iii)          reduce (including through release, forgiveness, assignment or otherwise) (a) the principal amount of, the interest rate on, or any obligation of the Borrower to repay (whether or not on a fixed date), any outstanding Loan owing to such

 

104



 

Lender, (b) any fee or accrued interest payable to such Lender or (c) if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender, any L/C Reimbursement Obligation or any obligation of the Borrower to repay (whether or not on a fixed date) any L/C Reimbursement Obligation; provided, however, that this clause (iii) does not apply to (x) any change to any provision increasing any interest rate or fee during the continuance of an Event of Default or to any payment of any such increase or (y) any modification to any financial covenant set forth in Article 5 or in any definition set forth therein or principally used therein;

 

(iv)          waive or postpone any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in part, of principal of or interest on any Loan or fee owing to such Lender or for the reduction of such Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that this clause (iv) does not apply to any change to mandatory prepayments, including those required under Section 2.8, or to the application of any payment, including as set forth in Section 2.12;

 

(v)           except as provided in Section 10.10, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or any Guarantor from its guaranty of any Obligation of the Borrower;

(vii)         amend Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantor), Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) or this Section 11.1;

 

and provided, further, that (x)(A) any waiver of any payment applied pursuant to Section 2.12(b) (Application of Mandatory Prepayments) to, and any modification of the application of any such payment to, the Revolving Loans shall require the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, and (B) any change to the definition of the term “Required Revolving Credit Lender” shall require the consent of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders, (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Loan Document of, or any payment to, the Administrative Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article 10 or the application thereof), the Swingline Lender, any L/C Issuer or any SPV that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(f) unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, such L/C Issuer or, as the case may be, such SPV in addition to any signature otherwise required and (z) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.12.  No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under Secured Hedging Agreement resulting in such Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal of the Loans or resulting in Obligations owing to any Secured Hedging Counterparty being unsecured (other than releases of Liens in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Hedging Counterparty, shall be effective without the written consent of such Secured Hedging Counterparty or, in the case of a Secured Hedging Agreement provided or arranged by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, the Administrative Agent.

 

105


 

(b)           In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Required Lenders to (a) effectuate a Revolving Credit Commitment Increase and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Revolving Loans and (b) include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders.

 

(c)           Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document 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 Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  No failure on the part of any Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

 

Section 11.2           Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.  (a) Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has executed it.  Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Holdings, the Borrower (in each case except for Article 10), the Administrative Agent, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 10.9), none of Holdings, the Borrower, any L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.

 

(b)           Right to Assign.  Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its Commitments and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender), (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender (other than a Non-Funding Lender or Impacted Lender) or (iii) any other Person (other than the Borrower, the Permitted Investors or any of their respective Affiliates) acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to the Administrative Agent and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower (which acceptance shall be deemed to have been given if the Borrower has not responded within five Business Days of a request for such acceptance) and, with respect to Sales of Revolving Credit Commitments, each L/C Issuer that is a Lender; provided, however, that (x) such Sales do not have to be ratable between the Facilities but must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to a Facility, (y) for each Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such Sale shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates and Approved Funds) entire interest in such Facility or is made with the prior consent of the Borrower (to the extent the

 

106



 

Borrower’s consent is otherwise required) and the Administrative Agent and (z) such Sales by Lenders who are Non-Funding Lenders due to clause (a) of the definition of Non-Funding Lenders shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s prior written consent in all instances, unless in connection with such sale, such Non-Funding Lender cures, or causes the cure of, its Non-Funding Lender status as contemplated in Section 2.2(c)(ii).  The Administrative Agent’s refusal to accept a Sale to a Loan Party, an Affiliate of a Loan Party, a holder of Subordinated Debt, a holder of Second Lien Debt, or an Affiliate of such a holder, or to a Person that would be (or could reasonably be expected to become) a Non-Funding or an Impacted Lender, or the imposition of conditions or limitations (including limitations on voting) upon Sales to such Persons, shall not be deemed to be unreasonable.

 

(c)           Procedure.  The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by the Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with the Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such Sale, together with any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, provided that (1) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Sale, and (2) if a Sale by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate or Approved Fund of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates or Approved Funds of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Sale.  Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with Section 11.2(b) (iii), upon the Administrative Agent (and the Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.

 

(d)           Effectiveness.  Subject to the recording of an Assignment by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b) , (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments) to the extent provided in Section 10.11 (Additional Beneficiaries of Collateral)).

 

(e)           Grant of Security Interests.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to

 

107



 

payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) any federal reserve bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board), without notice to the Administrative Agent or (B) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Lender’s Securities by notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that no such holder or trustee, whether because of such grant or assignment or any foreclosure thereon (unless such foreclosure is made through an assignment in accordance with clause (b) above), shall be entitled to any rights of such Lender hereunder and no such Lender shall be relieved of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

(f)            Participants and SPVs.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder, (ii) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes), but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.17(f) and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (B) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender’s ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (iii) and (iv) of Section 11.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 11.1(a)(v) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral).  No party hereto shall institute (and each of Borrower and Holdings shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all

 

108



 

outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability).  The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

Section 11.3           Costs and Expenses.  Any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor except as expressly provided therein.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Facilities by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion and fees, charges and disbursements of the auditors, appraisers, printers and other of their Related Persons retained by or on behalf of any of them or any of their Related Persons, (b) subject to the limitation on reimbursement pursuant to Section 7.7, the Administrative Agent for all reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by the Administrative Agent for its examiners) and (c) each of the Administrative Agent, its Related Persons, and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out”, (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Group Member, Loan Document, Obligation or Related Transaction (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including reasonable allocated costs of internal counsel); provided, that to the extent that the costs and expenses referred to in this clause (c) consist of fees, costs and expenses of counsel, Borrower shall be obligated to pay such fees, costs and expenses for only one counsel acting for all Lenders (other than Administrative Agent).

against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Related Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, any Related Transaction, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Group Member, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Group Member or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Furthermore, each of Holdings and the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.

 

(b)           Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.

 

Section 11.5           Survival.  Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Article 10 (The Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Commitments and the payment in full of other Obligations and

 

110



 

(B) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.

 

Section 11.6           Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.  In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  Each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

Section 11.7           Lender-Creditor Relationship.  The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and the Administrative Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor.  No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

 

Section 11.8           Right of Setoff.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by Holdings and the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.

 

Section 11.9           Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes) and 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders), and 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by

 

111



 

the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.  If a Non-Funding Lender receives any such payment as described in the previous sentence, such Lender shall turn over such payments to Agent in an amount that would satisfy the cash collateral requirements set forth in Section 2.2(c)(ii).

 

Section 11.10         Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation.  To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 11.12         Electronic Transmissions.  (a) Authorization.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), each of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and each of their Related Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Group Member to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

113



 

(c)           Separate Agreements.  All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 11.11 and this Section 11.12, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Group Members in connection with the use of such E-System.

 

(d)           Limitation of Liability.  All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”.  None of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein.  No Warranty of any kind is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects.  Each of Holdings, the Borrower and each Secured Party agrees (and each of Holdings and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that the Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

 

Section 11.13         Governing Law.  This Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to choice of law rules to the extent the application of the laws of another jurisdiction would be required thereby.

 

Section 11.14         Jurisdiction.  (a) Submission to Jurisdiction.  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of Holdings and the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Agent to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any other jurisdiction to the extent Agent determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.  The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

 

(b)           Service of Process.  Each of Holdings and Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Borrower specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein).  Each of Holdings and the Borrower (and, to the extent set forth in any other

 

114



 

Loan Document, each other Loan Party) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

(c)           Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction.  Nothing contained in this Section 11.14 shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 11.15         Waiver of Jury Trial.  Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding with respect to, or directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with, any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated therein or related thereto (whether founded in contract, tort or any other theory).  Each party hereto (A) certifies that no other party and no Related Person of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (B) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have been induced to enter into the Loan Documents, as applicable, by the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 11.15.

 

Section 11.16         Severability.  Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 11.17         Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

 

Section 11.18         Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

 

Section 11.19         Use of Name.  Each of Holdings and the Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to GE Capital or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any

 

115


 

transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least 2 Business Days’ prior notice to GE Capital and without the prior consent of GE Capital except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with GE Capital prior thereto.

 

Section 11.20         Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.  (a) Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Securities and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).

 

(b)           Each Lender, L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify borrowers, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 11.20 and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 11.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.20 shall govern.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of information as provided in this Section 11.20 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord its own confidential information.

 

Section 11.21         Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender subject to the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (31 U.S.C. 5318 et seq.) hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information allowing such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with such act.
