Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 31, 2018, The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) entered into a $2.61 billion, 364-day revolving credit agreement (the “364-Day Credit Agreement”) with Citigroup, N.A. (“Citibank”) and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent and Citibank as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in the 364-Day Credit Agreement. This facility replaces Boeing’s previous 364-day credit agreement, which was scheduled to terminate on October 31, 2018.

Under the 364-Day Credit Agreement, Boeing will pay a fee of 0.04% per annum on the commitments. Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement that are not based on Eurodollar rates will bear interest at an annual rate equal to the highest of (1) the rate announced publicly by Citibank, from time to time, as its “base” rate, (2) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (3) the ICE benchmark settlement rate for US dollars for a period of one month plus 1.00%. Borrowings under the 364-Day Credit Agreement that are based on Eurodollar rates will generally bear interest based on an applicable ICE benchmark settlement rate plus 0.835% per annum. The 364-Day Credit Agreement contains customary terms and conditions, including covenants restricting Boeing’s ability to permit consolidated debt (as defined in the agreement) in excess of 60% of Boeing’s total capital (as defined in the agreement) or to incur liens, merge or consolidate with another entity. Events of default include: (1) failure to pay outstanding principal or interest within five business days of when due, (2) determination that any representation or warranty was incorrect in any material respect when made, (3) failure to perform any other term, covenant or agreement, which failure is not remedied within 30 days of notice, (4) a cross-default with other debt in certain circumstances, (5) the incurrence of certain liabilities under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act and (6) bankruptcy and other insolvency events. If an event of default occurs and is continuing, the lenders would have the right to accelerate and require the repayment of all amounts outstanding under the applicable agreement and would not be required to advance any additional funds.

The 364-Day Credit Agreement is scheduled to terminate on October 30, 2019, subject to Boeing’s right to extend the term for an additional 364 days or, following payment of additional fees, convert outstanding borrowings into term loans with a maturity date that is the one-year anniversary of the termination date.

Reference is hereby made to that certain five-year revolving credit agreement (as previously extended and amended, the “5-Year Credit Agreement”), dated as of November 10, 2011, among Boeing, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC as joint lead arrangers and joint book managers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, and Citibank as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders as defined in the 5-Year Credit Agreement. On October 31, 2018, the parties to the 5-Year Credit Agreement entered into Amendment No. 5 to the 5-Year Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the term. The 5-Year Credit Agreement, which consists of $2.51 billion of total commitments, is now scheduled to terminate on October 31, 2023. The 5-Year Credit Agreement is otherwise subject to the same material terms and conditions as previously disclosed in Boeing’s Forms 8-K dated November 10, 2011, October 14, 2014, November 4, 2015, November 2, 2016, and November 1, 2017.

Certain of the lenders and their affiliates have performed, and may in the future perform, for Boeing and its subsidiaries, various banking, underwriting, and other financial services, for which they receive customary fees and expenses.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the 364-Day Credit Agreement and Amendment No. 5 to the 5-Year Credit Agreement, which are filed as exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 hereto.

 

Item 2.03.

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information set forth above under “Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement” is incorporated herein by reference.


Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On October 31, 2018, Boeing issued $700,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of senior notes (the “Notes”) consisting of (1) $350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount that bear interest at the rate of 3.450% per annum and will mature on November 1, 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and (2) $350,000,000 in aggregate principal amount that bear interest at the rate of 3.850% per annum and will mature on November 1, 2048 (the “2048 Notes”). Interest on the Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2019. The Notes are unsecured and have the same rank as Boeing’s other unsecured and unsubordinated debt.

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February 1, 2003, between Boeing and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank. The sale of the Notes was made pursuant to the terms of a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated October 29, 2018, by and among Boeing and (1) with respect to the 2028 Notes, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and (2) with respect to the 2048 Notes, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the purchasers named therein. Boeing may redeem the Notes in whole or in part, upon at least 10 days’ notice but not more than 60 days’ notice, at any time prior to maturity at the applicable redemption price described in the Final Prospectus Supplement dated October 29, 2018, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 30, 2018 (the “Final Prospectus Supplement”).

The Notes were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Boeing’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-219630), as filed with the SEC on August 2, 2017. Boeing has filed with the SEC a Prospectus dated August 2, 2017, a Preliminary Prospectus Supplement dated October 29, 2018, a Free Writing Prospectus dated October 29, 2018, and the Final Prospectus Supplement in connection with the public offering of the Notes.

The above description of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference. Kirkland & Ellis LLP has issued an opinion, dated October 31, 2018, to Boeing regarding certain legal matters with respect to the offering of the Notes, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 5.1 hereto.

On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the purchaser or purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (the “Purchasers”) agree to purchase, severally and not jointly, and the Company agrees to sell to the Purchasers, severally and not jointly, the respective principal amounts of the Company’s 3.450% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and 3.850% Senior Notes due 2048 (the “2048 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Purchased Notes”) set forth opposite the name of each Purchaser on Schedule A hereto.

THE BOEING COMPANY

STANDARD PURCHASE PROVISIONS

From time to time, The Boeing Company, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), may enter into purchase agreements that provide for the sale of designated securities to the purchaser or purchasers named therein. The standard provisions set forth herein may be incorporated by reference in any such purchase agreement (“Purchase Agreement”). The Purchase Agreement, including the provisions incorporated therein by reference, is herein sometimes referred to as “this Agreement.” Unless otherwise defined herein, terms defined in the Purchase Agreement are used herein as therein defined.

1. Introductory. The Company proposes to issue and sell from time to time its Unsecured Debt Securities (“Notes”) registered under the registration statement referred to in Section 2(a). The Notes will be issued under an Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2003, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor to JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee, as may be supplemented from time to time, (the “Indenture”). The Notes will be sold to the Purchasers (as defined below) for resale in accordance with the terms of the offering determined at the time of the sale. The Notes involved in any such offering are hereinafter referred to as the “Purchased Notes,” and the firm or firms, as the case may be, which agree to purchase the same are hereinafter referred to as the “Purchasers” of such Purchased Notes. The terms “you” and “your” refer to those Purchasers who sign the Purchase Agreement either on behalf of themselves only or on behalf of themselves and as representatives of the several Purchasers named in Schedule A thereto, as the case may be.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to and agrees with each Purchaser that:

(a)    A Registration Statement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) covering an indeterminate amount of the securities of the Company (including the Purchased Notes), including a prospectus has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) and has become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement is in effect, and no proceedings for such purpose are pending before or threatened by the Commission. The Company is a well known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) eligible to use the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement and the Company has not received notice that the Commission objects to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The terms Registration Statement, Time of Sale Prospectus and Prospectus shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

(b)    The Company is not an “ineligible issuer” in connection with the offering pursuant to Rules 164, 405 and 433 under the Securities Act. Any free writing prospectus that the Company is required to file pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act has been, or will be, filed with the Commission in accordance with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Securities Act Rules and Regulations”). Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act or that was prepared by or on behalf of or used or referred to by the Company complies or will comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder. Except for the free writing prospectuses, if any, identified in Schedule B to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without your prior consent, prepare, use or refer to, any free writing prospectus. Each free writing prospectus that the Company has filed, as of its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the public offer and sale of the


Purchased Notes or until any earlier date that the Company notifies the Purchasers as described in the next sentence, will not contain any information that conflicts with the information contained in the Registration Statement, including any document incorporated by reference therein, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus and any prospectus supplement deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified. If at any time following issuance of a free writing prospectus that the Company has filed there occurs an event or development as a result of which such free writing prospectus contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Purchasers so that any use of such free writing prospectus may cease until it is amended or supplemented. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements or omissions in such document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein.

(c)    The Registration Statement conforms in all respects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Rules and Regulations and does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except that the foregoing does not apply to statements or omissions in such document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein. At the Time of Sale, the Time of Sale Prospectus did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the foregoing does not apply to statements or omissions in such document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein. The Prospectus, as of its date, does not contain and, as amended or supplemented, if applicable, and as of the Closing Date, will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except that the foregoing does not apply to statements or omissions in such document based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein. The documents incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 of the Securities Act, at the time they were filed with the Commission, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the pertinent published rules and regulations thereunder (the “Exchange Act Rules and Regulations”). Any additional documents deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, will, when they are filed with the Commission, comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Rules and Regulations and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(d)     The Company has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and corporate authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus; and the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where failure to so qualify would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole or on the Company’s ability to perform its obligations under the Purchased Notes and the Indenture in any material respect (a “Material Adverse Effect”).


(e)    Each “significant subsidiary” (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X) of the Company, if any, (each a “Material Subsidiary” and together the “Material Subsidiaries”) has been duly incorporated and is an existing corporation or other entity in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, with power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus; and each Material Subsidiary of the Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation or other entity in good standing in all other jurisdictions in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect; all of the issued and outstanding capital stock or ownership interests of each Material Subsidiary of the Company has been duly authorized and validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable; and the capital stock or ownership interests of each Material Subsidiary owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, is owned free from liens and encumbrances except for such liens or encumbrances that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f)    This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(g)    The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Trustee and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(h)    The Purchased Notes have been duly authorized and, at the Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), will have been duly executed by the Company and, when authenticated, issued and delivered in the manner provided for in the Indenture and delivered against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as the enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency (including, without limitation, all laws relating to fraudulent transfers), reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and except as enforcement thereof is subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and will be in the form contemplated by, and entitled to the benefits of, the Indenture.

(i)    The Purchased Notes and the Indenture will conform in all material respects to the respective statements relating thereto contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and will be in substantially the respective forms filed or incorporated by reference, as the case may be, as exhibits to the Registration Statement.

(j)    No consent, approval, authorization, or order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or body or any court is required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in connection with the issuance and sale of the Purchased Notes by the Company, except such as have been obtained and made under the Securities Act and the Trust Indenture Act and such as may be required under state securities laws.


(k)    The execution, delivery and performance of the Indenture and this Agreement, and the issuance and sale of the Purchased Notes and compliance with the terms and provisions thereof have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and will not result in a breach or violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property, or assets of the Company or any Material Subsidiary under (i) any statute, any rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any Material Subsidiary of the Company (provided however that enforcement of rights to indemnity and contribution in this Agreement may be limited by federal or state securities laws or principles of public policy), or any of their properties, (ii) any material agreement or instrument to which the Company or any such Material Subsidiary is a party or by which the Company or any such Material Subsidiary is bound or to which any of the properties of the Company or any such Material Subsidiary is subject, or (iii) the charter or by-laws of the Company or any such Material Subsidiary except in the case of (i) and (ii) where such breach or violation or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company and its Material Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all real properties and good title to all other properties and assets owned by them that are material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries consolidated as a single enterprise, in each case free from liens, encumbrances and defects that would materially affect the value thereof or materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them; and except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company and its Material Subsidiaries hold any leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable leases with such exceptions that are not material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries consolidated as a single enterprise and that would not materially interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them.

(m)    Neither the Company nor any of its Material Subsidiaries is (i) in violation of its charter or bylaws or (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement, note, lease or other instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of them or their properties may be bound or to which any of their properties may be subject, except in the case of (ii) where such default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(n)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, the Company and its Material Subsidiaries (i) possess adequate certificates, authorities, licenses, permits, orders or approvals issued by appropriate governmental agencies or bodies necessary to conduct the business now operated by them, including, without limitation, from the Federal Aviation Administration, except where the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) have not received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate, authority or permit that, if determined adversely to the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries, would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(o)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, no strike, lockout, or work stoppage involving the employees of the Company or any Material Subsidiary exists or, to the knowledge of the Company, is imminent that might have a Material Adverse Effect.

(p)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation of any statute, rule, regulation, decision or order of any governmental agency or body or any court, domestic or foreign,


relating to the use, disposal or release of hazardous or toxic substances or relating to the protection or restoration of the environment or human exposure to hazardous or toxic substances (collectively, “environmental laws”), owns or operates any real property contaminated with any substance that is subject to any environmental laws, is liable for any off-site disposal or contamination pursuant to any environmental laws, or is subject to any claim relating to any environmental laws, which violation, contamination, liability or claim would individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect; and the Company is not aware of any pending investigation which might lead to such a claim.

(q)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, there are no pending actions, suits or proceedings against or affecting the Company, any of its subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, in their capacity as such, or any of their respective properties that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or would materially and adversely affect the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Indenture, this Agreement, or the Purchased Notes or which are otherwise material in the context of the sale of the Purchased Notes; and no such actions, suits or proceedings are, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened or, contemplated.

(r)    The financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus present fairly in all material respects the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates shown and their results of operations and cash flows for the periods shown (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments), and such financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States applied on a consistent basis (except as otherwise noted therein) and the schedules included in the Registration Statement present fairly in all material respects the information required to be stated therein.

(s)    Except as disclosed in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event reasonably likely to involve a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(t)    The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Purchased Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not be required to register under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(u)    To the Company’s knowledge, after due inquiry, the accountants who certified the financial statements and supporting schedules included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus are an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

(v)    The capitalization of the Company has not materially changed since the date of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

(w)    Neither the Company nor any subsidiary has taken or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might be reasonably expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Purchased Notes.


(x)    The Company maintains a system of “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) that is designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company has carried out evaluations of the effectiveness of their disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2008 as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.

(y)    The Company maintains a system of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that complies with the requirements of the Exchange Act and has been designed by, or under the supervision of, its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, including, but not limited to policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, there are no material weaknesses in the Company’s internal controls.

(z)    The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement fairly presents the information called for in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company or any subsidiary and delivered to the Purchasers or to counsel for the Purchasers shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company and not the officer in its individual capacity to the Purchasers as to the matters covered thereby.

3. Delivery and Payment. The Company will deliver the Purchased Notes to you for the accounts of the Purchasers at the offices of the Trustee (at the place specified in the Purchase Agreement) against payment of the purchase price by wire transfer to an account specified by the Company or by certified or official bank check or checks in same day or New York or Chicago Clearing House funds drawn to the order of the Company, at the office of the Company, 100 North Riverside, Chicago, Illinois, 60606, at the time set forth in this Agreement or at such other time not later than seven full business days thereafter as you and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date.” The Purchased Notes to be delivered will be in definitive fully registered form registered in such minimum denominations, of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereof, and in such names as you request in writing not later than 3:00 p.m., New York Time, on the second full business day prior to the Closing Date, or, if no such request is received, in the names of the respective Purchasers in the amounts agreed to be purchased by them pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall make the Purchased Notes available for checking and packaging at the offices of the Trustee (at the place specified in the Purchase Agreement) prior to the Closing Date and, unless prevented from doing so by circumstances


beyond its control, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York Time, on the business day next preceding the Closing Date. If you request that any Purchased Notes be issued in a name or names other than that of the Purchaser agreeing to purchase such Purchased Notes hereunder, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any transfer taxes resulting therefrom. The Notes may also be represented by a permanent global Note or Notes, registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company, as depositary (the “Depositary”), or a nominee of the Depositary (each such Note represented by a permanent global Note being referred to herein as a “Book-Entry Note”). Beneficial interests in Book-Entry Notes will only be evidenced by, and transfers thereof will only be effected through, records maintained by the Depositary’s participants.

4. Offering by the Purchasers. The several Purchasers propose to offer the Purchased Notes for sale to the public as set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

5. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the several Purchasers that:

(a)    It will promptly cause the Preliminary Prospectus and the Prospectus to be filed with the Commission as required by Rule 424.

(b)    It will furnish to each Purchaser a copy of each proposed free writing prospectus to be prepared by or on behalf of, used by, or referred to by the Company and not to use or refer to any proposed free writing prospectus to which the Purchasers reasonably object.

(c)    It will not take any action that would result in a Purchaser or the Company being required to file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of a Purchaser that otherwise would not have been required to be filed thereunder.

(d)    For as long as a prospectus relating to the Purchased Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, if any event relating to or affecting the Company or of which the Company shall be advised in writing by the Purchasers shall occur which, which in the opinion of the Company or your counsel, should be set forth in a supplement or amendment to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus in order either to make the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus comply with the requirements of the Securities Act or which would require the making of any change in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus so that as thereafter delivered to purchasers such Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will promptly amend or supplement the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus by either (i) preparing and filing with the Commission supplement(s) or amendment(s) to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, or (ii) making an appropriate filing pursuant to the Exchange Act, which will supplement or amend the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus so that, as supplemented or amended, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus when the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser will comply with the Securities Act and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will not file any amendment or supplement without first providing the Purchasers with such amendment or supplement and having obtained the Purchasers’ consent to the filing, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


(e)    The Company will make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than eighteen months after the effective date of the Registration Statement (as defined in Rule 158(c) under the Securities Act), an earnings statement of the Company and its subsidiaries (which need not be audited) complying with Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Rules and Regulations (including at the option of the Company Rule 158).

(f)    The Company will furnish to you copies of the following documents, in each case as soon as available after filing and in such quantities as you reasonably request (i) the Registration Statement relating to the Notes as originally filed and all post-effective amendments thereto (at least one of which will be signed and will include all exhibits except those incorporated by reference to previous filings with the Commission); (ii) each prospectus relating to the Purchased Notes; and (iii) during the time when a prospectus relating to the Purchased Notes is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, all post-effective amendments and supplements to the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, respectively (except supplements relating to securities that are not Purchased Notes).

(l)    The Company will qualify the Purchased Notes for offering and sale under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions as you may reasonably designate in consultation with the Company and to maintain such qualifications in effect for a period of not less than a year from the date of the Prospectus; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject. The Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of each jurisdiction in which the Securities have been qualified as above provided.

(m)    The Company will use its reasonable best efforts in cooperation with you to permit the Purchased Notes offered and sold in transactions by you to be eligible for clearance and settlement through The Depository Trust Company.

(n)    The Company will apply the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Purchased Notes in the manner specified in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds.”

6. Covenants of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser severally covenants with the Company not to take any action that would result in the Company being required to file with the Commission under Rule 433(d) a free writing prospectus prepared by or on behalf of such Purchaser that otherwise would not be required to be filed by the Company thereunder, but the for the action of the Purchaser.


7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Purchasers. The obligations of the several Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Purchased Notes will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of Company officers made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions precedent:

(a)    On the date of execution of the Purchase Agreement and on the Closing Date, you shall have received from Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Securities Act Rules and Regulations, a letter, dated such a date, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to you containing statements and information of the type customarily included in accountants’ “comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus; provided that the letter delivered on the Closing Date shall use a “cut-off” date no more than three business days prior to the Closing Date.

(b)    The Registration Statement shall remain effective and at the Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued, no proceedings for such purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or you, shall be contemplated by the Commission and the Company has not received a notice of objection to the use of the Registration Statement as an automatic shelf registration statement. The Prospectus and each issuer “free writing prospectus” shall have been timely filed with the Commission under the Securities Act, as required; and all requests by the Commission for additional information shall have been complied with to the reasonable satisfaction of the Purchasers.

(c)    Subsequent to the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred (A) any change or any development involving a prospective change not contemplated by the Time of Sale Prospectus as of the date of this Agreement in or affecting particularly the business or properties of the Company which, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the Purchasers including you, materially impairs the investment quality of the Purchased Notes, and (B) (i) any downgrading in the rating of the Purchased Notes or any other debt securities or preferred stock of or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (registered under Section 15E of the Exchange Act) or (ii) any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of the Purchased Notes or any other debt securities or preferred stock of or guaranteed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement that the Company has been placed on negative outlook.

(d)    You shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of a counsel for the Company, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.

In addition, such counsel shall state that such counsel has participated in conferences with officers, counsel and other representatives of the Company, representatives of the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company and representatives of the Purchasers at which the contents of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus and related matters were discussed; and, although such counsel is not passing upon and does not assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness


of the statements contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus (except as to the matters referred to in their opinion), on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to matters of fact to a large extent upon the opinions of officers, counsel and other representatives of the Company), no facts have come to the attention of such counsel which lead such counsel to believe that (a) the Registration Statement, when it became effective and as of the date of this Agreement, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, (b) the Time of Sale Information as of the Time of Sale and as of the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (c) the Prospectus as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being understood that such counsel need make no comment with respect to the financial statements and other financial data included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or Prospectus or incorporated therein or as to the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T l of the Trustee under the Indenture).

(e)    The Purchasers shall have received from counsel for the Purchasers, an opinion dated the Closing Date, with respect to the matters as the Purchasers shall reasonably request and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass on such matters.

(f)    You shall have received a certificate of the Chief Executive Officer, President or any Vice President of the Company and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company, dated the Closing Date, in which such officers shall state, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, (i) the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects, (ii) the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied at or prior to the Closing Date, (iii) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted, are pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened by the Commission, and (iv) that, subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements set forth or incorporated by reference in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change, nor any development or event reasonably likely to involve a prospective material adverse change, in the financial condition, business, properties or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, except as set forth or contemplated in the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus.

(g)    The Company will furnish you with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as you reasonably request.

In case any such condition shall not have been satisfied, this Agreement may be terminated by you upon notice in writing or by telecopy to the Company without liability or obligation on the part of the Company or any Purchaser, except as set forth in Section 12 hereof.

8. Conditions of the Obligations of the Company. The obligations of the Company to sell and deliver the Purchased Notes are subject to the following condition precedent:

Prior to the Closing Date, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or you, shall be contemplated by the Commission.


If any such condition shall not have been satisfied, then the Company shall be entitled, by notice in writing or by telecopy to you, to terminate this Agreement without any liability on the part of the Company or any Purchaser, except as set forth in Section 12 hereof.

9. Indemnification.

(a)    The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its affiliates, as such term is defined in Rule 501(b) under the Securities Act (each, an “Affiliate”), each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Purchaser, Affiliate or such controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any issuer “free writing prospectus” (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; and will reimburse each Purchaser, Affiliate and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser, Affiliate or such controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable to such Purchaser, Affiliate or controlling person in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for use therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.

(b)    Each Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus or any issuer “free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for use therein; and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such Purchaser may otherwise have.

(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under (a) and (b) above, notify the indemnifying


party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section, except to the extent the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who may, with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party) and who shall not be counsel to any other indemnified party who may have interests conflicting with those of such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify each indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested that an indemnifying party reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by this paragraph, the indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by the indemnifying party of such request and (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement unless the request is being disputed in good faith. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (y) does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d)    If recovery is not available under the foregoing indemnification provisions of this Section, for any reason other than as specified therein, the parties entitled to indemnification by the terms thereof shall be entitled to contribution to liabilities and expenses, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11(f) of the Act. In determining the amount of contribution to which the respective parties are entitled, there shall be considered the relative benefits received by each party from the offering of the Purchased Notes (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each), the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission, and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net proceeds (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Purchased Notes and the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers in connection therewith, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover of the Prospectus, bear to the aggregate offering price of the Purchased Notes. The Company and the Purchasers and such controlling persons agree that it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the Purchasers and such controlling persons were treated as one entity for such purpose). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser or controlling person shall be required to


make contribution hereunder which in the aggregate exceeds the total public offering price of the Purchased Notes, purchased by the Purchaser under this Agreement, less the aggregate amount of any damages which such Purchaser or such controlling person has otherwise been required to pay in respect of the same claim or any substantially similar claim. The Purchasers’ obligations to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

10. Default of Purchasers. If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase Purchased Notes hereunder and the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes which such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase is 10% of the principal amount of Purchased Notes or less, the non-defaulting Purchasers may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Purchased Notes by other persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date the non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Purchased Notes which such defaulting Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase. If any Purchaser or Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of Purchased Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur is more than the above percentage and arrangements reasonably satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such Purchased Notes by other persons are not made within seventy-two hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except as provided in Section 11. In the event that any Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligation to purchase Purchased Notes hereunder, the Company may, by prompt written notice to the non-defaulting Purchasers, postpone the Closing Date for a period of not more than seven full business days in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or in any other documents, and the Company will promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or supplements to the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus which may thereby be made necessary. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” includes any person substituted for a Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the New York Stock Exchange; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement clearance services in the United States; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in each case in the reasonable judgment of the Purchasers, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Purchased Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus.

12. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties, and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser or the Company or any of its officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Purchased Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 7, 8, 10 or 11 or if for any reason the purchase of the Purchased Notes by the Purchasers is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5(h). In addition, in such event the respective obligations of the Company and the Purchasers pursuant to Section 9 shall remain in effect; provided, however, that each Purchaser will use its best efforts to promptly notify each


other Purchaser and each dealer and prospective customer to whom such Purchaser has delivered a Prospectus for the Purchased Notes by telephone or telegraph, confirmed by letter in either case, of such termination or failure to consummate, including in such notice instructions regarding the continued use of the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.

13. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing, and, if sent to the Purchasers will be delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the address furnished in writing for the purpose of such communications hereunder, or, if sent to the Company, will be delivered or telecopied and confirmed to it, attention of Treasurer at 100 North Riverside, Chicago, Illinois 60606, telecopier (312) 544-2399, with a copy to Corporate Secretary at the same address, telecopier (312) 544-2829.

14. Successors. This Purchase Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 9, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Purchased Notes, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Purchased Notes.

(b) The Company acknowledges that in connection with the offering of the Purchased Notes: (i) the Purchasers have acted at arm’s-length, are not agents of, and owe no fiduciary duties to, the Company or any other person, (ii) the Purchasers owe the Company only those duties and obligations set forth in this Agreement and prior written agreements to the extent not superseded by this Agreement), if any, and (iii) the Purchasers may have interests that differ from those of the Company. The Company waives to the full extent permitted by applicable law any claims it may have against the Purchasers arising from an alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the offering of the Purchased Notes.

17. Construction. This Purchase Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any conflicts of law provisions that would apply the laws of another jurisdiction.

18. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts and it is not necessary that the signatures of all parties appear on the same counterpart, but such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same agreement.

19. Amendments or Waivers. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent or approval to any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.


EXHIBIT A

 

1.

Based solely on our review of the Delaware Certificate, the Company has been duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.

 

2.

The Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and is a valid instrument, legally binding on the Company and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

 

3.

The issuance and sale of the Purchased Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Company. The Purchased Notes (assuming that they have been duly authenticated by the Trustee or a duly designated Authentication Agent under the Indenture, which fact we have not verified by an inspection of the Purchased Notes) have been duly issued and constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, and are entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture.

 

4.

To our knowledge, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, approval, authorization or order of any governmental agency for the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Purchased Notes, the issuance and sale of the Purchased Notes being issued and sold by the Company under the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture, except for the registration of the Purchased Notes under the Securities Act, the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and such consents, approvals, authorizations or orders as may be required under applicable state securities laws in connection with the purchase and distribution of the Purchased Notes by the Purchasers.

 

5.

The Registration Statement (as of its effective date) and the Prospectus (as of the date of the Purchase Agreement and as of the Closing Date), appeared on their faces to have complied as to form in all material aspects to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, except that, in each case, we do not express any opinion as to any financial statements or supporting schedules (or any notes to any such statements or schedules) or other financial information, in each case, in (or omitted from) the Registration Statement or the Prospectus.

 

6.

The performance by the Company of its obligations under the Purchase Agreement and the performance by the Company of its obligations under the Indenture will not result in a breach of any of the terms and provisions of, the Company’s Charter or By-Laws, any provision of any Specified Contract (provided that we express no opinion as to compliance with any financial test or cross-default provision in such Specified Contract) or result in a violation of the Specified Laws.

 

7.

The Purchase Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.


8.

The statements set forth in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Notes,” and under the caption “Description of Debt Securities” of the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus insofar as they purport to constitute a summary of the terms of the Indenture and the Purchased Notes, are correct in all material respects. The statements in the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus under the caption “Material United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,” insofar as such statements constitute summaries of legal matters referred to therein, correctly summarize in all material respects the legal matters referred to therein.

 

9.

To our knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings that are pending against the Company or any of its subsidiaries or to which any property of the Company or any of its subsidiaries is subject that has caused us to conclude that such proceeding is required by Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Act to be described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus or the Prospectus but is not so described.

 

10.

The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Purchased Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Prospectus and the Prospectus, will not be an “investment company” required to register as such under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder.

 

11.

The Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently ended fiscal year as filed with the Commission complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, except that we do not express any opinion as to any financial statements or supporting schedules (or any notes to any such statements or schedules) or other financial information therein (or omitted therefrom).

 

12.

The Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act.

  Re:

Registration Statement on Form S-3

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are issuing this opinion letter in our capacity as legal counsel to The Boeing Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the issuance and sale by the Company of $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.450% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) and $350,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2048 (the “2048 Notes” and, together with the 2028 Notes, the “Notes”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

In that connection, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records and other instruments as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of this opinion, including (i) the certificate of incorporation and by-laws of the Company, (ii) the registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-219630) (as amended or supplemented, the “Registration Statement”) to which this letter is an exhibit, (iii) the indenture, dated February 1, 2003, between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as successor trustee to JPMorgan Chase Bank (the “Indenture”), and (iv) copies of the Notes.

For purposes of this opinion, we have assumed the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies and the authenticity of the originals of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed the legal capacity of all natural persons, the genuineness of the signatures of persons signing all documents in connection with which this opinion is rendered, the authority of such persons signing on behalf of the parties thereto other than the Company and the due authorization, execution and delivery of all documents by the parties thereto other than the Company. We have not independently established or verified any facts relevant to the opinion expressed herein, but have relied upon statements and representations of officers and other representatives of the Company and others.

Amounts and Terms of the Advances

 

2.1

Advances.

 

(a)

Obligation to Make Advances. Each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make Advances in U.S. dollars to the Borrowers from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed such Lender’s Commitment.

 

(b)

Amount of Advances. Each Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

 

(c)

Type of Advances. Each Borrowing shall consist of Advances of the same Type made on the same day by the Lenders ratably according to their respective Commitments. Within the limits of each Lender’s Commitment, the Borrowers may from time to time borrow, prepay pursuant to Section 2.12, and reborrow under this Section 2.1 and Section 2.2.

 

2.2

Making Advances.

 

(a)

Notice of Borrowing. Each Borrowing shall be made on notice, given by a Borrower to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing and on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”). Each such Notice of Borrowing shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit B, specifying the requested

 

10


  (i)

date of such Borrowing,

 

  (ii)

Type of Advances constituting such Borrowing,

 

  (iii)

aggregate amount of such Borrowing, and

 

  (iv)

in the case of a Borrowing composed of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.

Every Notice of Borrowing given by a Subsidiary Borrower must be countersigned by an authorized representative of TBC, in order to evidence the consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, to that proposed Borrowing. Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Agent shall promptly give notice to each Lender thereof.

 

(b)

Funding Advances. Each Lender shall, before 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing. After the Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, the Agent will make such funds available to the relevant Borrower at an account specified by such Borrower.

 

(c)

Irrevocable Notice. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be composed of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower requesting such Borrowing shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender on account of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified for such Borrowing in such Notice of Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article 5, including, without limitation, any loss (but excluding loss of anticipated profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

 

(d)

Lenders Ratable Portion. Unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (b) of this Section 2.2 and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the requesting Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that a Lender has not so made such ratable portion available to the Agent, such Lender and such Borrower shall severally repay to the Agent forthwith on demand an amount that in the aggregate equals such corresponding amount together with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available by the Agent to such Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Agent, at

 

  (i)

in the case of such Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to Advances constituting such Borrowing, and

 

  (ii)

in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate.

If such Lender shall repay to the Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.

 

11


(e)

Independent Lender Obligations. The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

 

2.3

Conversion to Term Loans, Repayment. The Borrowers shall, subject to the next succeeding sentence, repay to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of the Advances then outstanding. TBC may, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day prior to the Termination Date and upon payment of a fee to the Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders equal to 1.00% of the aggregate principal amount of the Advances outstanding on the Termination Date, convert all or a part of the unpaid principal amount of the Advances outstanding as of the Termination Date into Term Loans. If this Term Loan Conversion Option is exercised, then, on the Termination Date, immediately prior to the time when the unpaid principal amount of the Advances would otherwise be due, the Advances shall automatically convert into Term Loans which the respective Borrowers shall repay to the Agent for the ratable accounts of the Lenders on the Maturity Date. The amounts so converted shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as Advances except that after the Termination Date:

 

  (i)

the Borrowers may not make any additional borrowings;

 

  (ii)

any amounts paid or prepaid may not be reborrowed;

 

  (iii)

the amount of each Lender’s Commitment shall be equal at all times to the principal amount of the Term Loans payable to such Lender from time to time;

 

  (iv)

the provisions of Section 2.19 shall not be effective; and

 

  (v)

no Facility Fees shall accrue or be payable after the Termination Date.

 

2.4

Interest Rate on Advances. Each Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each of its Advances from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

 

  (i)

during each period in which such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times to the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin, payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October and on (x) the Termination Date, or (y) if TBC has exercised the Term Loan Conversion Option, the Maturity Date, and

 

  (ii)

during each period in which such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, at a rate per annum equal at all times during each relevant Interest Period for such Advance to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin, payable on the last day of each such Interest Period, and if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, quarterly on each day during such Interest Period that is three months from either (A) the first day of such Interest Period or (B) the last such interest payment date and on the date such Advance is Converted or paid in full;

provided that in the event and during the continuance of an Event of Default the Agent may, and upon the request of the Majority Lenders shall, give notice to the Borrowers that (x) the Applicable Margin shall immediately increase by 1.0% above the Applicable Margin then in effect, and, in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Advance shall automatically convert to a Base Rate Advance at the end of the Interest Period then in effect for such Eurodollar Rate Advance and (y) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the

 

12


Borrowers shall pay interest on the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable hereunder that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 1% above the Base Rate; provided, however, that following acceleration of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.2, the foregoing described interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the Agent.

 

2.5

[Reserved].

 

2.6

[Reserved].

 

2.7

Fees. TBC agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a facility fee (“Facility Fee”) on such Lender’s Commitment, without regard to usage; provided that no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Facility Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender except to the extent allocable to the outstanding principal amount of Advances funded by it (and TBC shall not be required to pay such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender). The Facility Fee shall be payable for the periods from the date hereof in the case of each Lender named in Schedule I, and from the effective date on which any other Lender becomes party hereto, until the Termination Date (or such earlier date on which such Lender ceases to be a party hereto) at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Percentage. Facility Fees shall be payable in arrears on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term of this Agreement until and on the Termination Date. The amount of the Facility Fee payable on January 1, 2019 and on the Termination Date shall be prorated based on the actual number of days elapsed either since the date hereof (in the case of the January 1, 2019 payment) or since the date on which the last payment in respect of the Facility Fee was made (in the case of the payment made on the Termination Date).

 

2.8

Reduction of the Commitments.

 

(a)

Optional Reductions. TBC shall have the right, upon at least 3 Business Days’ notice to the Agent, to permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the unused portions of the Commitments, provided that each partial reduction shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

 

(b)

Mandatory Reduction. At the close of business on the Termination Date, the aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a pro rata basis, by an amount equal to the amount by which the aggregate Commitments immediately prior to giving effect to such reduction exceed the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Advances then outstanding.

 

2.9

Additional Interest on Eurodollar Rate Advances. Each Borrower shall pay to each Lender, so long as such Lender is required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Advance of such Lender to such Borrower, from the date of such Advance until such principal amount is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum for each Interest Period equal to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such Eurodollar Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Lender for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such Lender and notified to the relevant Borrowers through the Agent.

 

13


2.10

Eurodollar Interest Rate Determination.

 

(a)

Methods to Determine Eurodollar Rate. The Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for each Eurodollar Rate Advance by using the methods described in the definition of the term “Eurodollar Rate,” and shall give prompt notice to the relevant Borrowers and the Lenders of each such Eurodollar Rate.

 

(b)

Role of Reference Banks. In the event the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined by the first method described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate,” each Reference Bank shall furnish to the Agent timely information for the purpose of determining the Eurodollar Rate in accordance with the second method described therein. If any one or more of the Reference Banks does not furnish such timely information to the Agent for the purpose of determining a Eurodollar Rate, the Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information furnished by the remaining Reference Banks; provided that such rate of interest shall be determined on the basis of timely information provided by no fewer than two Reference Banks. In the event the rate cannot be determined by either of the methods described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate,” then:

 

  (i)

the Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

 

  (ii)

each such Advance, if a Advance, will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if a Borrower was attempting to Convert a Base Rate Advance into a Eurodollar Rate Advance, such Advance will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

 

  (iii)

the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(c)

Inadequate Eurodollar Rate. If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Majority Lenders notify the Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Majority Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their respective Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith so notify the relevant Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon

 

  (i)

each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and

 

  (ii)

the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Base Rate Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(d)

Absence of an Interest Period on a Eurodollar Rate Advance. If a Borrower fails to select the duration of an Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Advance in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.1, the Agent will forthwith so notify such Borrower and the Lenders and such Advances will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into Base Rate Advances.

 

(e)

Successor LIBOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Majority Lenders notify the Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) that the Majority Lenders have determined, that:

 

  (i)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the first method described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

 

14


  (ii)

the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and TBC may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR and the Eurodollar Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”, which, if less than zero, shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.1, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and TBC unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein.

LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent determines in consultation with TBC).

 

2.11

Voluntary Conversion of Advances. Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.10 and 2.15, any Borrower may Convert all such Borrower’s Advances of one Type constituting the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion; provided, however, that the Conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Advance into a Base Rate Advance may be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each such notice of a Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify

 

  (i)

the date of such Conversion,

 

15


  (ii)

the Advances to be Converted, and

 

  (iii)

if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the Interest Period for each such Advance.

 

2.12

Prepayments.

Such prepaying Borrower may be obligated to make certain prepayments of obligations with respect to one or more Advances subject to and in accordance with this Section 2.12.

 

(a)

Base Rate Borrowings Prepayments. With respect to Base Rate Borrowings, such prepayment shall be without premium or penalty, upon notice given to the Agent, and shall be made not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of such prepayment. The applicable Borrower shall designate in such notice the amount and date of such prepayment. Accrued interest on the amount so prepaid shall be payable on the first Business Day of the calendar quarter next following the prepayment. The minimum amount of Base Rate Borrowings which may be prepaid on any occasion shall be $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the total amount of Base Rate Advances then outstanding for that Borrower.

 

(b)

Eurodollar Rate Borrowings Prepayments. With respect to Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, such prepayment shall be made on at least 3 Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time), and if such notice is given the applicable Borrower shall prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Advances constituting part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. The minimum amount of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings which may be prepaid on any occasion shall be $10,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the total amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances then outstanding for that Borrower.

 

(c)

Additional Prepayment Payments. The prepaying Borrower shall, on the date of the prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Advances, pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest accrued to such date of prepayment on the principal amount prepaid plus, in the case only of a prepayment on any date which is not the last day of an applicable Eurodollar Interest Period, any amounts which may be required to compensate such Lender for any losses or out-of-pocket costs or expenses (including any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) incurred by such Lender as a result of such prepayment, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts to minimize any such losses, costs and expenses.

 

(d)

Eurodollar Rate Advance Prepayment Expense. If, due to the acceleration of any of the Advances pursuant to Section 6.2(b), an assignment, repayment or prepayment under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 or otherwise, any Lender receives payment of its portion of, or is subject to any Conversion from, any Eurodollar Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period with respect to such Advance, the relevant Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts which may be payable to such Lender by such Borrower by reason of payment on such day as provided in Section 2.12(c).

 

16


2.13

Increases in Costs.

 

(a)

Costs from Law or Authorities. If, due to either

 

  (1)

the introduction of, or any change (other than, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Borrowings, a change by way of imposition or an increase of reserve requirements described in Section 2.9) in, or new interpretation of, any law or regulation effective at any time and from time to time on or after the date hereof, or

 

  (2)

the compliance with any guideline or the request from or by any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law),

there is an increase in the cost incurred by a Lender in agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Advance then or at any time thereafter outstanding (excluding for purposes of this Section 2.13 any such increased costs resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.14 shall govern), (ii) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office (or any political subdivision thereof) and (iii) FATCA), then TBC shall from time to time, upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender such amounts as are required to compensate such Lender for such increased cost, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such increased cost and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90th day. A certificate as to the amount of such increase in cost, submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes under this Section 2.13(a), absent manifest error.

 

(b)

Increased Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guidelines or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) which is enacted, adopted or issued at any time and from time to time after the date hereof affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender (or any corporation controlling such Lender) and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s Commitment and other commitments of this type, then, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Agent), the Borrowers shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s Commitment, provided that such Lender shall exercise reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to minimize any such compensation payable by the Borrowers hereunder and provided further that the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such compensation with respect to any period prior to the 90th day before the date of any such demand, unless such introduction, change, compliance or request shall have retroactive effect to a date prior to such 90th day. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the relevant Borrowers and the Agent by such Lender, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)

Borrower Rights Upon Cost Increases. Upon receipt of notice from any Lender claiming compensation pursuant to this Section 2.13 or Section 2.14 and as long as no Default has occurred and is continuing, TBC shall have the right, on or before the 30th day after the date of receipt of any such notice,

 

17


  (i)

to arrange for one or more Lenders or other commercial banks to assume the Commitment of such Lender; subject, however, to payment to the Agent by the assignor or the assignee of a processing and recording fee of $3,500, in the event the assuming lender is not a Lender; or

 

  (ii)

to arrange for the Commitment of such Lender to be terminated and all Advances owed to such Lender to be prepaid;

and, in either case, subject to payment in full of all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and other amounts payable under this Agreement and then owing to such Lender immediately prior to the assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender.

 

(d)

For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.13 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning increased costs and capital adequacy or liquidity (i) issued in connection with the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.

 

2.14

Taxes.

 

(a)

Exclusion and Inclusion of Taxes. Any and all payments by each Borrower hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.16, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding (i) in the case of each Lender and the Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof and (ii) any United States withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect to any sum payable hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Note to any Lender or the Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14) such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) such Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(b)

Payment of Other Taxes. In addition, each Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property or similar taxes, charges, or levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or with respect to any Advances and under any Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any Notes (“Other Taxes”).

 

(c)

Indemnification as to Taxes. Each Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Agent for and hold it harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes (including Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.14), imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

 

18


(d)

Evidence of or Exemption from Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower which paid such Taxes shall furnish to the Agent, at its address referred to in Section 8.2, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment. In the case of any payment hereunder or with respect to the Advances or under any Notes by or on behalf of any Borrower through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of any Borrower by a payor that is not a United States person, if the applicable Borrower determines that no taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Borrower shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel or other supporting documentation acceptable to the Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of this subsection (d) and subsection (e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(e)

Status of Lenders. For purposes of this Section 2.14(e), the term “Lender” includes the Agent.

 

  (i)

Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement (in the case of each Lender listed in Schedule I), and from the date on which any other Lender becomes a party hereto (in the case of each other Lender), and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by TBC (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Agent and TBC with two original Internal Revenue Service forms W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8EC1, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, to establish that such Lender is not subject to, or is entitled to a reduced rate of, United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or with respect to any Advances or any Notes. If the forms provided by a Lender at the time such Lender first becomes a party to this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender provides the appropriate form certifying that a lower rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lower rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such form; provided, however, that, if at the date on which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under subsection 2.14(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection 2.14(e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN, W-8IMY, or W-8EC1, that the Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, the Lender shall give notice thereof to the relevant Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document confidential information.

 

  (ii)

Each Lender that is a United States person shall deliver to TBC and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of TBC or the Agent), executed originals of Internal Revenue Service forms W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from United States federal backup withholding tax.

 

19


  (iii)

If a payment made to a Lender would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to TBC, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by TBC, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by TBC as may be necessary for each Borrower to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. For purposes of this Section 2.14(e)(iii) FATCA shall include any Treasury regulations or interpretations thereof.

 

(f)

Lender Failure to Provide IRS Forms. For any period with respect to which any Lender has failed to provide TBC with the appropriate form described in subsection 2.14(e) (other than if such failure is due to a change in law occurring after the date on which a form originally was required to be provided or if such form otherwise is not required under subsection 2.14(e)), such Lender shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, TBC shall take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.

 

(g)

Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Borrower or with respect to which a Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to such Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant governmental authority with respect to such refund), provided that such Borrower, upon the request of the Agent or such Lender agrees to repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant governmental authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such governmental authority. This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

 

2.15

Illegality. If any Lender shall notify the Agent that either

 

  (a)

there is any introduction of, or change in or in the interpretation of, any law or regulation that in the opinion of counsel for such Lender in the relevant jurisdiction makes it unlawful, or

 

  (b)

any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful

for such Lender to continue to fund or maintain any Eurodollar Rate Advances or to perform its obligations hereunder with respect to Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, upon the issuance of such opinion of counsel or such assertion by a central bank or other governmental authority, the Agent shall give notice of such opinion or assertion to the Borrowers (accompanied by such opinion, if applicable). The Borrowers shall forthwith (or at the end of the then-current Interest Period if the Eurodollar Rate Advances may be lawfully maintained as Eurodollar Rate Advances until then) either

 

  (i)

prepay in full all Eurodollar Rate Advances made by such Lender, with accrued interest thereon or

 

20


  (ii)

Convert each such Eurodollar Rate Advance made by such Lender into a Base Rate Advance.

Upon such prepayment or Conversion, the obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Rate Advances, or to Convert Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances, shall be suspended until the Agent shall notify the Borrowers that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exists.

2.16 Payments and Computations.

 

(a)

Time and Distribution of Payments. The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes, without counterclaim or setoff, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Agent at the Agent’s Account in same day funds. The Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed like funds relating to the payment of principal or interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.5, 2.9, 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 or 2.19) to the Lenders for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment of any other amount payable to any Lender to such Lender for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. From and after the effective date of an assignment pursuant to Section 2.20, the Agent shall make all payments hereunder and with respect to any Advances or under any Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder, and the parties to such assignment shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for the periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

 

(b)

Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest based on clause (a) of the definition of Base Rate shall be made by the Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be. All computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate, the Federal Funds Rate or clause (c) of the definition of Base Rate and of Facility Fees shall be made by the Agent, and all computations of interest pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be made by a Lender, on the basis of a year of 360 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 or fees are payable. Each determination by the Agent (or, in the case of Section 2.9, by a Lender) of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)

Payment Due Dates. Whenever any payment hereunder or with respect to any Advances or under any Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fee, as the case may be, but not later than the Termination Date or, if the Term Loan Conversion Option has been exercised, the Maturity Date; provided, however, if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

(d)

Presumption of Borrower Payment. Unless the Agent receives notice from a Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lenders hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date and the Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent that such Borrower has not made such payment in full to the Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

 

21


2.17

Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Advances or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Advances and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them; provided that:

 

  (i)

if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

  (ii)

the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by any Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances or participations in L/C Obligations to any assignee or participant, other than to a Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).

Each Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

2.18 Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)

Lender Records; If Notes Required. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder in respect of Advances. Each Borrower shall, upon notice by any Lender to such Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Agent) to the effect that a Note is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, such Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount up to the Commitment of such Lender.

 

(b)

Record of Borrowings, Payables and Payments. The Register maintained by the Agent pursuant to Section 2.20(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded

 

  (i)

the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder to each Borrower, the Type of Advances constituting such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto,

 

  (ii)

the terms of each assignment pursuant to Section 2.20,

 

22


  (iii)

the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and

 

  (iv)

the amount of any sum received by the Agent from a Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.

 

(c)

Evidence of Payment Obligations. Entries made in good faith by the Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from a Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.

 

2.19

Alteration of Commitments and Addition of Lenders.

 

(a)

Alter Lender Commitment. By a written agreement executed only by TBC, the Agent and the affected Lender and any non-party lender involved,

 

  (i)

the Commitment of such affected Lender may be increased to the amount set forth in such agreement;

 

  (ii)

such non-party lender may be added as a Lender with a Commitment as set forth in such agreement, provided that such lender agrees to be bound by all the terms and provisions of this Agreement; and

 

  (iii)

the unused portion of the Commitment of such affected Lender may be reduced or terminated and the Advances owing to such Lender may be prepaid in whole or in part, all as set forth in such agreement.

 

(b)

Conditions to Alteration. The Agent may execute any such agreement without the prior consent of any Lender other than the Lender affected, provided, however, that if at the time the Agent proposes to execute such agreement either (A) TBC’s long-term senior unsecured debt is rated by any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, lower than BBB- by S&P, lower than Baa3 by Moody’s or lower than BBB- by Fitch or (B) a Default has occurred and is continuing, then the Agent shall not execute any such agreement unless it has first obtained the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders, and provided further that the Agent shall not execute any such agreement without the prior written consent of the Majority Lenders if such agreement would increase the total of the Commitments to an amount in excess of $2,610,000,000 or, pursuant to Section 2.19(c), $3,300,000,000.

 

(c)

Increase Total Commitment. The Company has the right to increase the total of the Commitments through a Request for Alteration, in minimum increments of $5,000,000, up to a maximum aggregate of Commitments of $3,300,000,000, provided that, in addition to the requirements specified in Section 2.19(b), at the time of and after giving effect to an increase, TBC’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit-enhanced debt ratings from any two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch are better than or equal to BBB-, Baa3 and BBB-, respectively. The Company may offer the proposed increase (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”) to such Lender(s) or third party financial institutions acceptable to the Agent (“New Lenders”) as the Company may select, provided that

 

23


  (i)

such selected Lender(s) and such New Lender(s) shall have the right, but no obligation, to increase (or establish) its Commitment, by giving notice thereof to the Agent, to all or a portion of the Proposed Increased Commitment, allocations to be at the sole discretion of the Company, and

 

  (ii)

that the minimum commitment of each New Lender equals or exceeds $25,000,000.

 

(d)

Request for Alteration. The Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any such agreement becoming effective. All requests for Lender consent under the provisions of this Section 2.19 shall specify the date upon which any such increase, addition, reduction, termination, or prepayment shall become effective (the “Effective Date”) and shall be made by means of a Request for Alteration substantially in the form as set forth in Exhibit C. On the Effective Date on which the Commitment of any Lender is increased, decreased, terminated or created or on which prepayment is made, all as described in such Request for Alteration, the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, shall make available to the Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (New York City time) on such date, in same day funds, the amount, if any, which may be required (and the Agent shall distribute such funds received by it to the Borrowers or to such Lenders, as the case may be) so that at the close of business on such date the sum of the Advances of each Lender then outstanding shall be in the same proportion to the total of the Advances of all the Lenders then outstanding as the Commitment of such Lender is to the total of the Commitments. The Agent shall give each Lender notice of the amount to be made available by, or to be distributed to, such Lender at least 3 Business Days before such payment is made.

 

2.20

Assignments; Sales of Participations and Other Interests in Advances.

 

(a)

Assignment of Lender Obligations. From time to time each Lender may, with the prior written consent of TBC (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) and subject to the qualifications set forth below, assign to one or more Lenders or an Eligible Assignee all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it) and will, at any time, if arranged by the Company pursuant to clause (i)(A) below upon at least 30 days’ notice to such Lender and the Agent, assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including without limitation, all of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it); subject to the following:

 

  (i)

If such Lender notifies TBC and the Agent of its intent to request the consent of TBC to an assignment, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, TBC shall have the right, for 30 days after receipt of such notice or notice from the Agent that such Lender is a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in its sole discretion either (A) to arrange for one or more Eligible Assignees to accept such assignment or, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, an assignment of all of such Lender’s Advances and Commitment (a “Required Assignment”) or (B) other than in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to arrange for the rights and obligations of such Lender (including, without limitation, such Lender’s Commitment), and the total Commitments, to be reduced by an amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Commitment proposed to be assigned and, in connection with such reduction, to prepay that portion of the Advances owing to such Lender which it proposes to assign;

 

  (ii)

If TBC fails to notify such Lender within 30 days of TBC’s receipt of such Lender’s request for consent to assignment, the Borrowers shall be deemed to consent to the proposed assignment;

 

24


  (iii)

Any such assignment shall not require any Borrower to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the interests in the Advances under the blue sky laws of any state and the assigning Lender shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such assignment;

 

  (iv)

Unless TBC consents, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender being assigned pursuant to any such assignment (determined as of the date of the assignment) shall either (A) equal 50% of all such rights and obligations (or 100% in the case of a Required Assignment) or (B) not be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

 

  (v)

Unless either (x) TBC consents or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the aggregate amount of the Commitment assigned pursuant to all such assignments of such Lender (after giving effect to such assignment) shall in no event exceed 50% (except in the case of a Required Assignment) of all such Lender’s Commitment (as set forth in Schedule I, in the case of each Lender that is a party hereto as of October 31, 2018, or as set forth in the Register as the aggregate Commitment assigned to such Lender pursuant to one or more assignments, in the case of any assignee);

 

  (vi)

No Lender shall be obligated to make a Required Assignment unless such Lender has received payments in an aggregate amount at least equal to the outstanding principal amount of all Advances being assigned, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of payment of such principal amount and all other amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement (including without limitation Section 2.12(c), provided that such Lender shall receive its pro rata share of the Facility Fee on the next date on which the Facility Fee is payable); and

 

  (vii)

In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of TBC, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances with its ratable portion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs and except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties and subject to Section 8.16, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(b)

Effect of Lender Assignment. From and after the effective date of any assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(a), (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such assignment, it shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such assignment, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Section 2.13, 2.14, 2.19 or 8.3 to the extent any

 

25


  claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an assignment covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 

(c)

Security Interest; Assignment to Lender Affiliate. Notwithstanding Section 2.20(a) or any other provision in this Agreement, any Lender may, upon prior or contemporaneous notice to TBC and the Agent, at any time (i) create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other governmental agency or instrumentality, and (ii) assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Note held by it, if any) to an Affiliate of such Lender unless the result of such an assignment would be to increase the cost to any Borrowers of requesting, borrowing, continuing, maintaining, paying or converting any Advances.

 

(d)

Agents Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each assignment delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances of each Borrower owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each entity whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon receipt by the Agent from the assigning Lender of an assignment in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with evidence of each Advance subject to such assignment, an Administrative Questionnaire for such assignee and a processing and recording fee of $3,500 (payable by either the assignor or the assignee), the Agent shall, if such assignment is a Required Assignment or has been consented to by TBC to the extent required by Section 2.20(a) or has been effected pursuant to Section 2.21(c), (i) accept such assignment, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to TBC.

 

(e)

Lender Sale of Participations. Each Lender may sell participations in all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) to one or more Affiliates of such Lender or to one or more other financial institutions; provided, however, that

 

  (i)

any such participation shall not require any Borrowers to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify any interests in the Advances or any Notes under the blue sky laws of any state and the Lender selling or granting such participation shall otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws applicable to such transaction,

 

  (ii)

no purchaser of such a participation shall be considered to be a “Lender” for any purpose under the Agreement,

 

  (iii)

such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to the Borrowers) shall remain unchanged,

 

26


  (iv)

such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations,

 

  (v)

such Lender shall remain the holder of any Notes issued with respect to its Advances for all purposes of this Agreement,

 

  (vi)

the Borrowers, the Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,

 

  (vii)

no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by any Borrower therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and

 

  (viii)

such Lender shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each purchaser of such a participation and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each such Person’s interest in its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the Advances owing to it and the Notes held by it, if any) (the “Participant Register”); provided that such Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Person or any information relating to a Person’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. The Borrower agrees that each purchaser of such a participation shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(e) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(e) shall be delivered to the Lender selling the participation)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 2.20(a).

 

(f)

Confidential Borrower Information. Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 2.20, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant, any information relating to the Borrowers furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrowers; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure of Confidential Information, such Lender shall obtain the written consent of the Borrowers, and the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any such Confidential Information received by it from such Lender except as disclosure may be required or appropriate to governmental authorities, pursuant to legal process, or by law or governmental regulation or authority.

2.21

Extension of Termination Date.

 

(a)

Extension Request. TBC may, on behalf of itself and the Subsidiary Borrowers, by written notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit E (each such notice being an “Extension Request”) given no earlier than 60 days and no later than 45 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date, request that the then applicable Termination Date be extended to a date 364 days after the then applicable Termination Date; provided, however, that TBC shall not have exercised the Term Loan Conversion Option for Advances outstanding on such Termination Date prior to such time. Such extension shall be effective with respect to each Lender which, by a written notice in the form of Exhibit F (a “Continuation Notice”) to TBC and the Agent given no earlier than 45 days and no later than 28 days (unless otherwise agreed by TBC and the Agent) prior to the then applicable Termination Date, consents, in its sole discretion, to such extension (each Lender giving a Continuation Notice being referred to sometimes as a “Continuing Lender” and each Lender other than a Continuing Lender being a “Non-Extending Lender”), provided, however, that such extension shall be effective only if the aggregate Commitments of the Continuing Lenders, together with the Commitments of the Replacement Lenders, are greater than 50% of the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders on the date of the Extension Request. No Lender shall have any obligation to consent to any such extension of the Termination Date. The Agent shall notify each Lender of the receipt of an Extension Request within three (3) Business Days after receipt thereof. The Agent shall notify the Company and the Lenders no later than 15 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date whether the Agent has received Continuation Notices from Lenders holding more than 50% of the aggregate Commitments on the date of the Extension Request.

 

(b)

Non-Extending Lenders. The Commitment of each Non-Extending Lender shall terminate at the close of business on the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request without giving any effect to such proposed extension, and on such Termination Date TBC shall take one of the following three actions:

 

  (i)

Replace the Non-Extending Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(c); or

 

  (ii)

Pay or cause to be paid to the Agent, for the account of the Non-Extending Lenders, an amount equal to the Non-Extending Lenders’ Advances, together with accrued but unpaid interest and fees thereon and all other amounts then payable hereunder to the Non-Extending Lenders; or

 

  (iii)

By giving notice to the Agent no later than three days prior to the Termination Date in effect prior to the delivery of such Extension Request, elect not to extend the Termination Date beyond the then applicable Termination Date, and in this event the Borrowers may in their sole discretion repay any amount of the Advances then outstanding or exercise the Term Loan Conversion Option with respect to the Advances outstanding on the Termination Date in accordance with Section 2.3.

 

(c)

Replacement Lenders. A Non-Extending Lender shall be obligated, at the request of TBC, to assign at any time prior to the close of business on the Termination Date applicable to such Non-Extending Lender all of its rights (other than rights that would survive the termination of the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.3) and obligations hereunder to one or more Lenders or other commercial banks nominated by TBC and willing to become Lenders in place of such Non-Extending Lender (the “Replacement Lenders”). In order to qualify as a Replacement Lender, a Lender or lender must satisfy all of the requirements of this Agreement (including without limitation the terms of Section 2.20 relating to Required Assignments). Such obligation of each Non-Extending Lenders is subject to such Non-Extending Lender’s receiving (i) payment in full from the Replacement Lenders of the principal amount of all Advances owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to an assignment to the Replacement Lenders and (ii) payment in full from the relevant Borrowers of all accrued interest and fees and other amounts

 

28


  payable hereunder and then owing to such Non-Extending Lender immediately prior to the assignment to the Replacement Lenders. Upon such assignment, the Non-Extending Lender shall no longer be a Lender, such Replacement Lender shall become a Continuing Lender, and the Agent shall make appropriate entries in the Register to reflect the foregoing.

 

2.22

Subsidiary Borrowers.

 

(a)

Subsidiary Borrower Designation. TBC may at any time, and from time to time, by delivery to the Agent of a Borrower Subsidiary Letter substantially in the form of Exhibit D, duly executed by TBC and the respective Subsidiary, designate such Subsidiary as a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall thereupon become a “Subsidiary Borrower” for purposes of this Agreement and, as such, shall have all of the rights and obligations of a Borrower hereunder; provided that any designation of a Subsidiary that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America shall be made only upon 30 days prior notice to the Agent. The Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each such designation by TBC and the identity of the designated Subsidiary. As soon as possible and in any event within 10 Business Days after notice of the designation of a Subsidiary Borrower that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, any Lender that may not legally lend to such Subsidiary Borrower (a “Protesting Lender”) shall so notify TBC and the Agent in writing. With respect to each Protesting Lender, TBC shall, effective on or before the date that such Subsidiary Borrower shall have the right to borrow hereunder, either:

 

  (i)

arrange for one or more Lenders or other commercial banks to assume the Commitment of such Protesting Lender; subject, however, to payment to the Agent by the assignor or the assignee of a processing and recording fee of $3,500, in the event the assuming lender is not a Lender; or

 

  (ii)

arrange for the Commitment of such Protesting Lender to be terminated and all Advances owed to such Lender to be prepaid;

subject, in either case, to payment in full of all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees, commissions and other amounts payable under this Agreement and then owing to such Lender immediately prior to the assignment or termination of the Commitment of such Lender.

If the Company shall designate as a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder any Subsidiary not organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof, any Lender may, with notice to the Agent and the Company, fulfill its Commitment by causing an Affiliate of such Lender to act as the Lender in respect of such Subsidiary Borrower.

 

(b)

TBC Consent to Subsidiary Borrower Borrowings and Notices. No Advances shall be made to a Subsidiary Borrower, and no Conversion of any Advances at the request of a Subsidiary Borrower shall be effective, without, in each and every instance, the prior consent of TBC, in its sole discretion, which shall be evidenced by the countersignature of TBC to the relevant Notice of Borrowing or notice of Conversion. In addition, no notices which are to be delivered by a Borrower hereunder shall be effective, with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, unless the notice is countersigned by TBC.

 

(c)

Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following events with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower shall constitute a “Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event” with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower:

 

  (i)

such Subsidiary Borrower ceases to be a Subsidiary;

 

29


  (ii)

such Subsidiary Borrower is liquidated or dissolved;

 

  (iii)

such Subsidiary Borrower fails to preserve and maintain its existence;

 

  (iv)

such Subsidiary Borrower merges or consolidates with or into another Person, or conveys, transfers, leases, or otherwise disposes of (whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions) all or substantially all of its assets (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) to any Person (except that a Subsidiary Borrower may merge into or dispose of assets to another Borrower);

 

  (v)

any of the “Events of Default” described in Section 6.1(a) through (f) occurs to or with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower as if such Subsidiary Borrower were “TBC”; or

 

  (vi)

the Guaranty with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower ceases, for any reason, to be valid and binding on TBC or TBC so states in writing.

 

(d)

Terminated Subsidiary Borrower. Upon the occurrence of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower, such Subsidiary Borrower (a “Terminated Subsidiary Borrower”) shall cease to be a Borrower for purposes of this Agreement and shall no longer be entitled to request or borrow Advances hereunder. All outstanding Advances of a Terminated Subsidiary Borrower shall be automatically due and payable as of the date on which the Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event of such Terminated Subsidiary Borrower occurred, together with accrued interest thereon and any other amounts then due and payable by that Borrower hereunder, unless, in the case of a Subsidiary Borrower Termination Event described in paragraph (iv) of Section 2.22(c), the other Person party to the transaction is a Borrower and such other Borrower has assumed in writing all of the outstanding Advances and other obligations under this Agreement and under the Notes, if any, of the Terminated Subsidiary Borrower.

 

(e)

TBC as Subsidiary Borrowers Agent. Each of the Subsidiary Borrowers hereby appoints and authorizes TBC to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to TBC by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

 

(f)

Subsidiaries Several Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each of the Subsidiary Borrowers shall be severally liable for the liabilities and obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement and its Borrowings, and Notes, if any. No Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable for the obligations of any other Borrower under this Agreement or any Borrowings of any other Borrower or any other Borrower’s Notes, if any. Each Subsidiary Borrower shall be severally liable for all payments of the principal of and interest on Advances to such Subsidiary Borrower, and any other amounts due hereunder that are specifically allocable to such Subsidiary Borrower or the Advances to such Subsidiary Borrower. With respect to any amounts due hereunder, including fees, that are not specifically allocable to a particular Borrower, each Borrower shall be liable for such amount pro rata in the same proportion as such Borrower’s outstanding Advances bear to the total of then-outstanding Advances to all Borrowers.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any payment of principal, interest, facility fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of any Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 6 or otherwise) shall be applied at such time or times as may be reasonably determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the

 

30


  Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Advance in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as reasonably determined by the Agent; third, if so reasonably determined by the Agent and the Borrowers, to be held as cash collateral and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Advances were made at a time when the applicable conditions set forth in Article 3 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Advances of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Advances of such Defaulting Lender and provided further that any amounts held as cash collateral for funding obligations of a Defaulting Lender shall be returned to such Defaulting Lender upon the termination of this Agreement and the satisfaction of such Defaulting Lender’s obligations hereunder. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23 shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(b)

No Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 2.23, performance by the Borrowers of their obligations shall not be excused or otherwise modified as a result of the operation of this Section 2.23. The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.23 are in addition to any other rights and remedies which the Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)

If the Borrowers and the Agent agree in writing in their reasonable determination that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Advances to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their ratable portions, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of any Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

ARTICLE 7

The Agent

 

7.1

Appointment and Authority. Each Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) hereby irrevocably appoints Citibank to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall not have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

 

41


7.2

Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

 

7.3

Exculpatory Provisions.

 

(a)

The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent:

 

  (i)

shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

 

  (ii)

shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein); provided that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any debtor relief law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any debtor relief law; and

 

  (iii)

shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrowers pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Agent further agrees to make a request pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(8) at the request of any Lender, and to share such requested information with the Lenders.

 

  (b)

The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 8.1 and 6.2), or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Company or a Lender.

 

42


  (c)

The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith or the adequacy, accuracy and/or completeness of the information contained therein, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created hereby, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 5 or elsewhere herein, other than (but subject to the foregoing clause (ii)) to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

 

7.4

Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

7.5

Indemnification.

 

  (a)

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent in its capacity as Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by TBC or any other Borrower), from and against its ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under this Agreement (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”), provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of the Indemnified Costs resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by TBC or any other Borrower.

 

  (b)

The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 7.5 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes. The Agent agrees to return to the Lenders their respective ratable shares of any amounts paid under this Section 7.5 that are subsequently reimbursed by TBC or any Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.5 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Agent, any Lender or a third party.

 

43


7.6

Resignation of Agent.

 

  (a)

The Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Company. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Majority Lenders shall have the right with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.

 

  (b)

If the Person serving as Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (v) of the definition thereof, the Majority Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Company and such Person remove such Person as Agent and, with the consent of the Company (if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

 

  (c)

With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Agent on behalf of the Lenders hereunder, the retiring or removed Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Majority Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After the retiring or removed Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 8.4 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Agent was acting as Agent.

 

44


7.7

Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent.

 

7.8

Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder.

 

7.9

No Other Duties, etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, Arrangers, Syndication Agents or Documentation Agents listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Agent or a Lender hereunder.

 

7.10

Lender ERISA Representation. Each Lender party to this Agreement as of the Closing Date represents and warrants as of the Closing Date to the Agent and each other Joint Lead Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, for the benefit of the Company or any other Borrower, that such Lender is not and will not be (i) an employee benefit plan subject to Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan or account subject to Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code; (iii) an entity deemed to hold “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts for purposes of ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code that is using “plan assets” of any such plans or accounts to fund or hold Advances or perform its obligations under this Agreement; or (iv) a “governmental plan” within the meaning of ERISA.

Miscellaneous

 

8.1

Modification, Consents and Waivers.

 

(a)

Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement; provided that if requested by any Lender the Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or telecopier. Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Agent in writing of such Lender’s e-mail address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

 

8.3

Costs, Expenses and Taxes.

 

(a)

TBC shall pay upon written request all reasonable costs and expenses in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, modification and amendment requested by any of the Borrowers of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (including, without limitation, printing costs and the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel for the Agent) and costs and expenses, if any, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel), as well as any and all stamp and other taxes, and to save the Lenders and other holders of interests in the Advances or any Notes harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay by or omission of the Borrowers to pay such taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, any Notes and the Guaranties.

 

47


(b)

TBC agrees to indemnify the Agent and each Lender and each of their Affiliates and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, penalties and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) the Advances, this Agreement, the Notes, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment and except that no Indemnified Party shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder to the extent such indemnification relates to relationships of, between or among each of, or any of, the Agent, the Lenders, any assignee of a Lender or any participant. In the case of any investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which this Section 8.3 applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by TBC, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The Borrowers also agree not to assert any claim on any theory of liability for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages against the Agent, any Lender, any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys and agents, arising out of or otherwise relating to the Notes, this Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of Advances.

 

(c)

Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers contained in Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 8.3 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the Notes for a period of seven years.

 

8.4

Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrowers may not assign or transfer their rights hereunder without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

 

8.5

Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

8.6

Governing Law. This Agreement, any Notes, the Guaranties and each Borrower Subsidiary Letter shall be deemed to be contracts under the laws of the State of New York and for all purposes shall be construed in accordance with the laws of such State.

48


8.9

Right of Set-Off. Each Lender and each of its Affiliates that is or was at one time a Lender hereunder is authorized at any time and from time to time, upon

 

  (i)

the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and

 

  (ii)

the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.2 to authorize the Agent to declare any Advances due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.2,

to the fullest extent permitted by law, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by each Borrower), to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower against any and all of the obligations to such Lender or such Affiliate of such Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement and any Notes held by such Lender, whether or not such Lender has made a demand under this Agreement or such Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured. Each Lender shall promptly notify any Borrower after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of setoff) which such Lender and its Affiliates may have.

 

8.10

Confidentiality. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any other Person without the consent of a Borrower, other than

Each Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Agent or any Lenders in order to assist the Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

 

8.13

Jurisdiction, Etc..

 

  (a)

Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, Borough of Manhattan, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. Each Subsidiary Borrower hereby agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be made upon the Company and each Subsidiary Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints the Company its authorized agent to accept such service of process, and agrees that the failure of the Company to give any notice of any such service shall not impair or affect the validity of such service or of any judgment rendered in any action or proceeding based thereon. Each Borrower hereby further irrevocably consents to the service of process in any action or proceeding in such courts by the mailing thereof by any parties hereto by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Company at its address specified pursuant to Section 8.2. Each of the parties hereto 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.

 

  (b)

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes in any New York State or federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

8.14

No Fiduciary Duty.

The Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrowers. TBC agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, TBC and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, on the other hand, will have a business relationship that does not create, by implication or otherwise, any fiduciary duty on the part of the Agent, the Lenders or their respective Affiliates and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications.

 

50


8.15

Waiver of Jury Trial.

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other person 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 this Agreement by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section.

 

8.16

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any Note or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under this Agreement, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

 

  (a)

Exhibit 10.2

EXECUTION COPY

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO THE

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Dated as of October 31, 2018

AMENDMENT NO. 5 TO THE CREDIT AGREEMENT among THE BOEING COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“TBC”), the banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders parties to the Credit Agreement referred to below (collectively, the “Lenders”) and CITIBANK, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:

(1) TBC, the Lenders and the Agent have entered into a Five Year Credit Agreement dated as of November 10, 2011 (as extended and amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the same meanings as specified in the Credit Agreement.

(2) TBC and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Credit Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

(3) Pursuant to Section 2.22(a) of the Credit Agreement, TBC has requested that the Termination Date be extended to October 31, 2023.

Section 1. Amendments to Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement is, effective as set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 1.1 is amended by adding the following definitions in appropriate alphabetical order:

Beneficial Ownership Certification” means a certification regarding beneficial ownership as required by the Beneficial Ownership Regulation.

Beneficial Ownership Regulation” means 31 C.F.R. § 1010.230.

LIBOR” means the ICE Benchmark Settlement Rate, as published by Bloomberg (or, if unavailable for any reason by Bloomberg, then by reference to another commercially available source providing quotations of the ICE Benchmark Settlement Rate, such as Reuters) for deposits in U.S. dollars.

 

  (b)

A new subsection (e) is added at the end of Section 2.11 to read as follows:

 

  (e)

Successor LIBOR. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Majority Lenders notify the Agent (with a copy to the Borrowers) that the Majority Lenders have determined, that:

 

  (i)

adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period, including, without limitation, because the Eurodollar Rate as determined by the first method described in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate” is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or

Five Year Credit Agreement Amendment


  (ii)

the supervisor for the administrator of LIBOR or a governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which LIBOR or the Eurodollar Rate shall no longer be made available, or used for determining the interest rate of loans (such specific date, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”),

then, after such determination by the Agent or receipt by the Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Agent and TBC may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR and the Eurodollar Rate with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein) that has been broadly accepted by the syndicated loan market in the United States in lieu of LIBOR (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”, which, if less than zero, shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 8.1, any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth Business Day after the Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and TBC unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Agent notice that such Majority Lenders do not accept such amendment.

If no LIBOR Successor Rate has been determined and the circumstances under clause (i) above exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods). Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a Eurodollar Rate Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Advances (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Advances or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein.

LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate, any conforming changes to the definition of Base Rate, Interest Period, timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest and other administrative matters as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, to reflect the adoption of such LIBOR Successor Rate and to permit the administration thereof by the Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Agent determines that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or that no market practice for the administration of such LIBOR Successor Rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Agent determines in consultation with TBC).

 

  (c)

A new clause (h) is added at the end of Section 5.4 to read as follows:

 

  (h)

Beneficial Ownership Certification. At least five days prior to the effectiveness of the applicable Borrower Subsidiary Letter, with respect to any Subsidiary Borrower that qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to each Lender that so requests, a Beneficial Ownership Certification in relation to such Subsidiary Borrower.

 

Five Year Credit Agreement Amendment    2   


(d) Section 7.5 is amended by inserting “as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment” immediate after the phrase “willful misconduct”.

(e) Section 8.3(b) is amended by inserting “as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment” immediate after the phrase “willful misconduct”.

Section 2. Consent to Extension Request. Each Lender so indicating on its signature page to this Amendment agrees to extend the Termination Date with respect to its Commitment to October 31, 2023. This agreement to extend the Termination Date is subject in all respects to the terms of the Credit Agreement and is irrevocable.
