SECTION 6. New Loan Parties and Loan Guarantors. (a) The Acquired Company and each of its subsidiaries that is a Designated Subsidiary (each of the Acquired Company and each such subsidiary, a “New Subsidiary”) shall, by its execution of this Agreement, be deemed to be a Loan Party under the Restated Credit Agreement and a Loan Guarantor for all purposes of the Restated Credit Agreement and shall have all of the obligations of a Loan Party and a Loan Guarantor thereunder, in each case as if had executed and delivered the Existing Credit Agreement or the Restated Credit Agreement. Each New Subsidiary hereby agrees to be bound by all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Restated Credit Agreement, including all the guaranty obligations set forth in Article X of the Restated Credit Agreement.

(b) Without limiting the generality of Section 6(a), each New Subsidiary hereby guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Loan Guarantors, to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Lender Parties, as provided in Article X of the Restated Credit Agreement (and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.10 of the Restated Credit Agreement), the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof and agrees that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid or performed in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each New Subsidiary will, jointly and severally together with the other Loan Guarantors, promptly pay and perform the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal. Each New Subsidiary hereby waives acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties of the guaranty by the New Subsidiary upon the execution of this Agreement by the New Subsidiary.

SECTION 7. Effect of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. (a) Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication or otherwise limit, impair, constitute a waiver of, or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lender Parties under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, and shall not alter, modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, all of which shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the provisions thereof (it being understood and agreed that all interest and fees accruing under the Existing Credit Agreement in respect of periods prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date will accrue at the rates specified in the Existing Credit Agreement prior to it being amended and restated to be in the form of the Restated Credit Agreement and shall be payable at the next interest or fee payment date provided in the Restated Credit Agreement). Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle any Loan Party to a consent to, or a waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Existing Credit Agreement, the Restated Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.

On and after the Second Restatement Effective Date, each reference in the Restated Security Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein”, or words of like import, as used in the Restated Security Agreement, shall refer to the Restated Security Agreement (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) as amended and restated in the form of the Restated Security Agreement, and the term “Restated Security Agreement”, as used in any Loan Document, shall mean the Restated Security Agreement.

(c) This Agreement shall constitute a “Loan Document” for all purposes of the Restated Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Neither this Agreement nor the effectiveness of the Restated Credit Agreement shall extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or discharge or release any Guarantee thereof. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the Obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or the Collateral Documents, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement, the Restated Credit Agreement or any other document contemplated hereby or thereby shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party under any Loan Document (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) from any of its obligations and liabilities thereunder.

SECTION 8. Applicable Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

SECTION 9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or other electronic imaging (such as a ‘pdf’) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Settlements may occur during the existence of a Default and whether or not the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.02 have then been satisfied. Such amounts transferred to the Administrative Agent shall be applied against the amounts of the Swingline Lender’s Swingline Loans and, together with Swingline Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such

Any Letter of Credit providing for automatic extension shall be extended upon the then current expiration date without any further action by any Person unless the applicable Issuing Bank shall have given notice to the applicable beneficiary (with a copy to the applicable Borrower) of the election by such Issuing Bank not to extend such Letter of Credit, such notice to be given not fewer than 30 days prior to the then current expiration date of such Letter of Credit; provided that no Letter of Credit may be extended automatically or otherwise beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date (other than in accordance with this paragraph).

(d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the applicable Issuing Bank or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this paragraph in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default, reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments or any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the expiration thereof or of the Revolving Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

(e) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall, following notice of such LC Disbursement to the Borrower Representative, reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrower Representative shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received by the Borrower Representative prior to such time on such date, then not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is received prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower Representative receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that the Borrowers may, subject to the conditions to borrowing set forth herein, request in accordance with Section 2.03 that such payment be

 

52


financed with an ABR Revolving Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting ABR Revolving Borrowing or, if the Swingline Lender shall have elected to apply the terms of Section 2.05(a) to such requested Borrowing, the resulting Swingline Loan. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.07 with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.07 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to such Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse an Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Revolving Loans or a Swingline Loan as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in paragraph (e) of this Section is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not substantially comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, (iv) any force majeure or other event that under any rule of law or uniform practices to which any Letter of Credit is subject (including Section 3.14 of ISP 98 or any successor publication of the International Chamber of Commerce) permits a drawing to be made under such Letter of Credit after the stated expiration date thereof or of the Revolving Commitments or (v) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this paragraph, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrowers’ obligations hereunder. None of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, or any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in

 

53


interpretation of technical terms or any other act, failure to act or other event or circumstance; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by any Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct on the part of an Issuing Bank (with such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower Representative by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement in full, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Revolving Loans; provided that, if the Borrowers fail to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section, then Section 2.13(d) shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to paragraph (e) of this Section to reimburse the Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment, and shall be payable on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrowers reimburse the applicable LC Disbursement in full.

(i) Replacement of the Issuing Banks. Any Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative

 

54


Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b). From and after the effective date of any such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateralization. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Borrower Representative receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the Borrowers shall deposit in an account with the Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders (the “LC Collateral Account”), an amount in cash equal to 103% of the LC Exposure as of such date plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower described in clause (h) or (i) of Article VII. The Borrowers shall also deposit cash collateral in accordance with this paragraph as and to the extent required by Section 2.11(b) or 2.20. Each such deposit shall be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account and the Borrowers hereby grant the Administrative Agent a security interest in the LC Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Collateral Documents, be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other Secured Obligations (but subject to, in the case of any such application at a time when any Lender is a Defaulting Lender (but only if, after giving effect thereto, the remaining cash collateral shall be less than the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Defaulting Lenders that has not been reallocated to non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.20), the consent of each Issuing Bank). If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount

 

55


of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.11(b), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrowers would remain in compliance with Section 2.11(b) and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. If any Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.20, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to such Borrower as promptly as practicable to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, no Issuing Bank shall have any exposure in respect of any outstanding Letter of Credit that is not fully covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or the remaining cash collateral and no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(k) Existing Letters of Credit. Each Existing Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be a Letter of Credit issued hereunder for all purposes hereof and of the other Loan Documents, and no issuance or similar fees (as distinguished from ongoing participation or fronting fees) will be required in connection with the Existing Letters of Credit. Without limiting the foregoing (i) each such Existing Letter of Credit shall be included in the calculation of the LC Exposure, (ii) all liabilities of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute Obligations and (iii) each Lender shall have reimbursement obligations with respect to such Existing Letters of Credit as provided in this Section 2.06. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Section 2.06, no Existing Letter of Credit that has not been issued by an Issuing Bank referred to in clause (a) of the definition of such term may be renewed or extended.

(l) Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancelations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) reasonably prior to the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the stated amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrowers fail to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(m) LC Exposure Determination. For all purposes of this Agreement, the amount of a Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof shall

 

56


be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at the time of determination.

SECTION 2.07. Funding of Borrowings. (a) Each Lender shall make each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m., New York City time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower Representative by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Funding Account(s); provided that ABR Revolving Loans made to finance the reimbursement of (i) an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.06(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Bank and (ii) a Protective Advance or an Overadvance shall be retained by the Administrative Agent.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Revolving Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section and may, in reliance on such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the applicable Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans. If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrowers may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections. (a) Each Revolving Borrowing initially shall be of the Type and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in the applicable Borrowing Request or as otherwise provided in Section 2.03. Thereafter, the Borrower Representative may elect to convert such Borrowing to a Borrowing of a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower Representative may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans

 

57


comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing. This Section shall not apply to Swingline Borrowings, Overadvances or Protective Advances, which may not be converted or continued.

(b) To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Revolving Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such telephonic Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery or facsimile to the Administrative Agent of an executed written Interest Election Request. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i) the Borrower and the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(c) Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(d) If the Borrower Representative fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower Representative (provided that no such notice shall be required in the case of an Event of Default under clause (h) or (i) of Article VII), then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Revolving Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

 

58


SECTION 2.09. Termination and Reduction of Revolving Commitments; Increase in Revolving Commitments. (a) Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall automatically terminate on the Maturity Date.

(b) The Borrowers may at any time terminate the Revolving Commitments upon (i) the payment in full of all outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon and on any LC Disbursements, (ii) the cancellation and return of all outstanding Letters of Credit (or alternatively, with respect to each such Letter of Credit, the furnishing to the Administrative Agent of a cash deposit (or at the discretion of the Administrative Agent a back up standby letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) equal to 103% of the portion of the LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit as of such time), (iii) the payment in full of all accrued and unpaid fees and (iv) the payment in full of all reimbursable expenses and all other Obligations outstanding at such time.

(c) The Borrowers may from time to time reduce the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (ii) the Borrowers shall not reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 2.11, the sum of the Credit Exposures would exceed the lesser of (x) the total Revolving Commitments then in effect and (y) the Borrowing Base then in effect.

(d) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower Representative pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower Representative may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower Representative (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(e) (i) The Borrowers shall have the right to increase the total Revolving Commitments by obtaining additional Revolving Commitments, either from one or more of the Lenders or from one or more other lending institutions; provided that (i) no Lender hereunder shall have any obligation to provide any such requested increase, (ii) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, (iii) the aggregate amount of all additional Revolving Commitments obtained under this paragraph shall not

 

59


exceed $50,000,000, (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have approved the identity of any such new Lender, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (v) any such new Lender shall assume all the rights and obligations of a “Lender” hereunder, and (vi) the procedure described in paragraph (e)(ii) of this Section shall have been satisfied.

(ii) Any amendment hereto for such an increase or addition shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and shall only require the written signatures of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers and the Lender(s) being added or increasing their Revolving Commitments. As a condition precedent to such an increase, the Borrower Representative shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of each Loan Party signed by an authorized officer of such Loan Party (1) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (2) in the case of the Borrowers, certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date, and (y) no Default exists, (B) an opinion of counsel to the Loan Parties as to the power and authority of the Loan Parties to effect such increase and such other customary and related matters as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (C) a reaffirmation agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, executed and delivered by the Loan Parties.

(iii) On the Business Day following any such increase, all outstanding ABR Revolving Borrowings shall be reallocated, pursuant to procedures reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, among the Lenders (including any newly added Lenders) in accordance with the Lenders’ respective revised Applicable Percentages. Eurodollar Revolving Borrowings outstanding at the time of such increase shall be reallocated, pursuant to procedures reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, among the Lenders in accordance with the Lenders’ respective Applicable Percentages in effect at the time upon the expiration of the then applicable Interest Periods.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt. (a) The Borrowers hereby unconditionally promise to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Loan on the Maturity Date and (ii) to the Administrative Agent the then unpaid amount of each Protective Advance and Overadvance on the earliest of (A) the Maturity Date, (B) demand by the Administrative Agent therefor and (C) in the case of any Overadvance, the 60th day after the date of the making thereof.

(b) On each Business Day during any Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds credited to a Concentration Account on such Business Day or the immediately preceding Business Day (at the discretion of the Administrative Agent, whether or not immediately available), first, to prepay any

 

60


Protective Advances and Overadvance that may be outstanding and, second, to prepay the Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans and to cash collateralize outstanding LC Exposure.

(c) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrowers to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Class and Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(e) The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (c) or (d) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrowers to pay any amounts due hereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(f) Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note. In such event, the Borrowers shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns) and in a form approved by the Administrative Agent. Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans. (a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(b) Except to the extent such excess arises from Protective Advances permitted under Section 2.04 or Overadvances permitted under Section 2.05, in the event and on each occasion that the total Credit Exposure exceeds the lesser of (i) the total Revolving Commitments then in effect and (ii) the Borrowing Base then in effect, the Borrowers shall prepay the Revolving Loans and/or Swingline Loans (or, if no such Borrowings are outstanding, deposit cash collateral in the LC Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.06(j)) in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

(c) The Borrower Representative shall notify the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of prepayment of a Swingline Loan, the Swingline Lender) by telephone

 

61


(confirmed by hand delivery or facsimile) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, three Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Revolving Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that, if a notice of prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 2.09, then such notice of prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 2.09. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Revolving Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Revolving Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Revolving Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Revolving Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13.

SECTION 2.12. Fees. (a) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee, which shall accrue for each day on the amount of the unused Revolving Commitment of such Lender on such day at a rate equal to 0.375% per annum. Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Second Restatement Effective Date, and on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed. For purposes of computing commitment fees, the Revolving Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender (and the Swingline Exposure and participations in Protective Advances and Overadvances of such Lender shall be disregarded for such purpose).

(b) The Borrowers agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participation in each Standby Letter of Credit or Commercial Letter of Credit at the Applicable Rate for a Letter of Credit of such type, in each case on the average daily amount of the portion of such Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to such Letter of Credit (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Second Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank a fronting fee, which shall accrue at the rate or rates per annum separately agreed upon between the Company and such Issuing Bank, on the average daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Second Restatement Effective Date to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any

LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees accrued through and including the last day of each calendar month shall be payable on the first Business Day of the next succeeding month, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Second Restatement Effective Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand. Any other fees payable to the Issuing Banks pursuant to this paragraph shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed.

(c) The Borrowers agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amounts and payable at the times separately agreed upon between the Company and the Administrative Agent.

(d) All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (or to the applicable Issuing Bank, in the case of fees payable to it) for distribution, in the case of commitment fees and participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances (absent manifest error in the amount paid).

SECTION 2.13. Interest. (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing (including each Swingline Loan, but excluding Protective Advances and Overadvances) shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b) The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c) Each Protective Advance and Overadvance shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for ABR Revolving Loans plus 2% per annum.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder is not paid when due (after giving effect to any applicable grace period), whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of overdue principal of any Loan, 2% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section or (ii) in the case of any other amount, 2% per annum plus the rate applicable to ABR Revolving Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(e) Accrued interest on each Loan (for ABR Loans, accrued through the last day of the prior calendar quarter) shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and upon termination of the Revolving Commitments; provided that

 

63


(i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (d) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than a prepayment of an ABR Revolving Loan prior to the end of the Availability Period), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Revolving Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(f) All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate or Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14. Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing:

(a) the Administrative Agent determines in good faith (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

(b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice (which may be telephonic) thereof to the Borrower Representative and the Lenders as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower Representative and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notification shall be made promptly after the Administrative Agent obtains knowledge of the cessation of such circumstances), (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Revolving Borrowing to, or continuation of any Revolving Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and such Revolving Borrowing shall be continued as an ABR Borrowing, and (ii) any Borrowing Request for a Eurodollar Revolving Borrowing shall be treated as a request for an ABR Revolving Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs. (a) If any Change in Law shall:

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

 

64


(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

(iii) subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of the term “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender or other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or other Recipient, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs or expenses incurred or reduction suffered. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company reasonably believes that any such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, the applicable Recipient will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Company to obtain a refund of such Taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Recipient result in any non-reimbursable additional costs, expenses or risks or be otherwise disadvantageous to it.

(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has had or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Revolving Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Loans held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then, from time to time upon request of such Lender or such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) A certificate of a Lender or an Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section delivered

 

65


to the Borrower Representative shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or expenses incurred or reductions suffered more than 270 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower Representative of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or expenses or reductions is retroactive, then the 270-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(c) and is revoked in accordance therewith), or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. Such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan (but not including the Applicable Rate applicable thereto), for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest that would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate such Lender would bid if it were to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the London interbank market. A certificate of any Lender delivered to the Borrower Representative and setting forth and explaining in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Taxes. (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith

 

66


discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

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

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

(d) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower Representative by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e) Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c)(ii) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent

 

67


manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f) Status of Lenders. (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.17(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding tax;

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

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

 

68


Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

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

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

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

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

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed

 

69


by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower Representative or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Restatement Effective Date.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

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

(h) Issuing Banks. For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Allocation of Proceeds; Sharing of Set-offs. (a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made by them hereunder or under any other Loan Document on or prior to the time expressly required hereunder or under such other Loan Document for such payment or, if no such time is expressly required, on or prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without any defense, setoff, recoupment or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the

 

70


Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn Street, 22nd Floor, Chicago, Illinois, except that payments required to be made directly to an Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender shall be so made and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payment received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments under each Loan Document shall be made in dollars.

(b) Any proceeds of Collateral received by the Administrative Agent (i) not constituting (A) a specific payment of principal, interest, fees or other sum payable under the Loan Documents (which shall be applied as specified by the Borrowers), (B) amounts to be applied from a Concentration Account during any Dominion Period (which shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)) or, (C) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, amounts which are received into any Concentration Account (which shall be deposited to the Borrowers’ Funding Account in accordance with the Restated Security Agreement) or (ii) after an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent so elects or the Required Lenders so direct, shall be applied ratably first, to pay any fees, indemnities, or expense reimbursements then due to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Banks from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), second, to pay any fees or expense reimbursements then due to the Lenders from the Borrowers (other than in connection with Banking Services or Swap Obligations), third, to pay interest due in respect of the Protective Advances and Overadvances, fourth, to pay the principal of the Protective Advances and Overadvances, fifth, to pay interest then due and payable on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) ratably, sixth, to prepay principal on the Loans (other than the Protective Advances and Overadvances) and unreimbursed LC Disbursements ratably, seventh, to pay an amount to the Administrative Agent equal to 103% of the aggregate undrawn face amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the aggregate amount of any unpaid LC Disbursements, to be held as cash collateral for such Obligations, eighth, to payment of any amounts owing with respect to Banking Services and Swap Obligations, ninth, to the payment of any other Secured Obligations due to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and tenth, any excess to be returned to Borrower Representative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, unless so directed by the Borrower Representative, or unless a Default is in existence, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall apply any payment which it receives to any Eurodollar Loan, except (a) on the expiration date of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or (b) in the event, and only to the extent, that there are no outstanding ABR Loans and, in any such event, the Borrowers shall pay the break funding payment required in accordance with Section 2.16.

(c) At the election of the Administrative Agent, all payments of principal, interest, LC Disbursements, fees, reimbursable expenses (including, without limitation,

 

71


all reimbursements of fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) and other sums payable under the Loan Documents may be paid from the proceeds of Borrowings made hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower Representative pursuant to Section 2.03 or a deemed request as provided in this Section or may be deducted from any deposit account of any Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes (i) the Administrative Agent to make a Borrowing for the purpose of paying each payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under the Loan Documents and agrees that all such amounts charged shall constitute Loans (including Swingline Loans and Overadvances, but such a Borrowing may only constitute a Protective Advance if it is to reimburse costs, fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.03) and that all such Borrowings shall be deemed to have been requested pursuant to Section 2.03, 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable, and (ii) the Administrative Agent to charge any deposit account of any Borrower (other than, so long as no Dominion Period is in effect or no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, any Excluded Deposit Account maintained with the Administrative Agent for each payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount due under the Loan Documents.

(d) If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the amount of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amounts of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances; 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 any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (for the avoidance of doubt, as in effect from time to time) or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances or Overadvances to any Person that is an Eligible Assignee (as such term is defined from time to time). 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 set-off 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.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower Representative prior to the date on which any payment is due to the

 

72


Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or Issuing Banks, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(f) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations in respect of such payment until all such unsatisfied obligations have been discharged and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and apply any such amounts to, any future payment obligations of such Lender hereunder to or for the account of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.19. Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or Affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.

(b) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, or if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 9.04), all its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 2.15 or 2.17) and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which Eligible Assignee may be another

Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment and delegation); provided that (i) the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, Swingline Loans, Protective Advances and Overadvances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts), (iii) in the case of any such assignment and delegation resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.15 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.17, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (iv) such assignment and delegation does not conflict with applicable law. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation have ceased to apply. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment and delegation required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower Representative, the Administrative Agent and the assignee (subject to any required consents referred to above) and that the Lender required to make such assignment and delegation need not be a party thereto.

SECTION 2.20. Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Lender is a Defaulting Lender:

(a) commitment fees shall cease to accrue on the unused portion of the Revolving Commitment of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(a);

(b) the Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Lenders or all affected Lenders or the Required Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment, waiver or modification pursuant to Section 9.02); provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other affected Lenders shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender;

(c) if any Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure exists at the time such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then:

(i) such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.05(c)), LC Exposure (other than any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.06(d)), Protective Advance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation

 

74


as contemplated by Section 2.04(b)) and Overadvance Exposure (other than any portion thereof with respect to which such Defaulting Lender shall have funded its participation as contemplated by Section 2.05(c)) shall be reallocated among the non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages, but only to the extent the sum of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Credit Exposures plus such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure does not exceed the total of all non-Defaulting Lenders’ Revolving Commitments;

(ii) if the reallocation described in clause (i) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrowers shall within one Business Day following notice by the Administrative Agent, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender, (A) first, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Overadvance Exposure that has not been so reallocated, (B) second, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Protective Advance Exposure that has not been so reallocated, (C) third, prepay the portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Swingline Exposure that has not been so reallocated and (D) fourth, cash collateralize such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure that has not been so reallocated in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.06(j) for so long as such LC Exposure is outstanding;

(iii) if the Borrowers cash collateralize any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure pursuant to clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any letter of credit participation fees to such Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s cash collateralized LC Exposure during the period such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is cash collateralized;

(iv) if any portion of the LC Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) above, then the fees payable to the Lenders pursuant to Section 2.12(b) shall be adjusted to give effect to such reallocation; or

(v) if any portion of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure is neither cash collateralized nor reallocated pursuant to clause (c)(i) or (c)(ii) above, then, without prejudice to any rights or remedies of the applicable Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder, all letter of credit participation fees payable under Section 2.12(b) with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure shall be payable to the Issuing Banks (and allocated among them ratably based on the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by each Issuing Bank) until such LC Exposure is cash collateralized and/or reallocated; and

(d) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any Swingline Loan and no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, amend, renew, extend or increase any Letter of Credit, in each case, unless it is satisfied that the related exposure will be 100% covered by the Revolving Commitments of the non-Defaulting Lenders and/or cash collateral provided by the Borrowers in accordance with clause (c) of this Section, and

 

75


participating interests in any such newly issued, amended, renewed, extended or increased Letter of Credit or newly made Swingline Loan shall be allocated among non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (c)(i) of this Section (and Defaulting Lenders shall not participate therein).

In the event and on the date that each of the Administrative Agent, the Company, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender agrees that a Defaulting Lender has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Lender to be a Defaulting Lender, then the Swingline Exposure, LC Exposure, Protective Advance Exposure and Overadvance Exposure of the other Lenders shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and on such date such Lender shall purchase at par such of the Revolving Loans of the other Lenders as the Administrative Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Lender to hold Revolving Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage.

SECTION 2.21. Returned Payments. If after receipt of any payment which is applied to the payment of all or any part of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is for any reason compelled to surrender such payment or proceeds to any Person because such payment or application of proceeds is invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, impermissible setoff, or a diversion of trust funds, or for any other reason, then the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in full force as if such payment or proceeds had not been received by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender. The provisions of this Section shall be and remain effective notwithstanding any contrary action which may have been taken by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in reliance upon such payment or application of proceeds. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.22. Borrowing Subsidiaries. The Company may designate any Subsidiary that is a wholly owned Domestic Subsidiary of the Company as a Borrowing Subsidiary upon 10 Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (such notice to include the name, primary business address and tax identification number of such proposed Borrowing Subsidiary). Upon proper notice and receipt by the Administrative Agent of such agreements, documents and legal opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and subject to the Administrative Agent’s determining in consultation with the Lenders that designating such Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary would not cause any Lender to suffer any economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, such Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Subsidiary and a party to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. A Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrowing Subsidiary hereunder at such time as the Company gives notice to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of its intention to terminate such Subsidiary as a Borrowing Subsidiary; provided that any such termination shall not be effective (other than to terminate such Borrowing Subsidiary’s right to make further Borrowings or to obtain Letters of Credit) and such Subsidiary shall remain a Borrowing Subsidiary until such time as all Loans to such Borrowing Subsidiary and accrued interest thereon and all other amounts then due from such Borrowing Subsidiary have been paid in full and no Letter of Credit issued for the account of such Borrowing Subsidiary shall be outstanding.

This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

(b) Each Loan Party expects to derive benefit (and its board of directors or other governing body has determined that it may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly and indirectly, from (i) successful operations of each of the other Loan Parties and (ii) the credit extended by the Lenders to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Loan Party has determined that execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement and any other Loan Documents to be executed by such Loan Party is within its purpose, will be of direct and indirect benefit to such Loan Party, and is in its best interest.

SECTION 3.03. Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts.

SECTION 3.04. Financial Condition; No Material Adverse Effect. (a) The Loan Parties have heretofore furnished to the Lenders (i)(A) the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended July 30, 2011 and July 31, 2010, each audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and (B) the unaudited consolidated balance sheets and related statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of and for each of the fiscal quarters and the portions of the fiscal year ended October 29, 2011, January 28, 2012 and April 28, 2012 and (ii)(A) the consolidated balance sheets and related statements of operations and comprehensive income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Acquired Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal years ended January 28, 2012 and January 29, 2011, each audited by and accompanied by the unqualified opinion of Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, and (B) the unaudited consolidated balance sheet and related statements of operations and cash flows of the Acquired Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of and for the fiscal quarter ended April 28, 2012.

(d) Since July 30, 2011, there has been no event, development or circumstance that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a material adverse effect on the business, assets, results of operations or financial conditions of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

SECTION 3.05. Properties. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business (including its Mortgaged Properties), except for minor defects in title that do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such properties for their intended purposes and Liens expressly permitted by Section 6.02.

(b) The Company and each Subsidiary owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks, tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Company and the Subsidiaries does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Schedule 3.05 sets forth the address of each real property that is owned in fee by the Loan Parties as of the Second Restatement Effective Date and, with respect to any such real property that constitutes a Mortgaged Property, the proper jurisdiction for the filing of a Mortgage in respect thereof.

(a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened against or affecting the Company or any Subsidiary (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than the Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents or the Transactions.

 

79


(b) Except for the Disclosed Matters or matters that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability.

(c) Since the Second Restatement Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or materially increased the likelihood of, a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.07. Compliance with Laws and Agreements. (a) The Company and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all laws, including all orders of Governmental Authorities, applicable to it or its property and all indentures, agreements and other instruments binding upon it or its property, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect (it being agreed that this Section does not apply to any law which is specifically addressed in Section 3.06(b), 3.07(b), 3.08, 3.09, 3.10 or 3.14). No Default has occurred and is continuing.

(b) To the extent applicable, the Company and the Subsidiaries are in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the USA Patriot Act. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary nor, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, any director, officer, agent, employee or Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary, is currently subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by OFAC that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, or otherwise made available (A) for any payments to any officer or employee of a Governmental Authority, or any Person controlled by a Governmental Authority, or any political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 or (B) to any Person for the purpose of financing the activities of any Person currently subject to any United States sanctions administered by OFAC.

(c) No Loan Party is in default in any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in (i) any material agreement to which it is a party or (ii) any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing Material Indebtedness.

SECTION 3.08. Investment Company Status. No Loan Party is an “investment company” as defined in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

80


SECTION 3.09. Taxes. The Company and each Subsidiary has timely filed or caused to be filed all Tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) any Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which the Company or such Subsidiary has set aside on its books reserves with respect thereto to the extent required by GAAP or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.10. ERISA; Labor Matters. (a) No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Plan that is subject to Title IV of ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed by more than $2,000,000 the fair value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans that are subject to Title IV of ERISA (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 715) did not, as of the date or dates of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair value of the assets of all such underfunded Plans by any material amount.

(b) As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, there are no strikes, lockouts, slowdowns or any other material labor disputes against the Company or any Subsidiary pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrowers, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Company and the Subsidiaries have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable Federal, state, local or foreign law dealing with such matters, except for any such violation that, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which any claim may be made against the Company or any Subsidiary, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary to the extent required by GAAP. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is bound.

SECTION 3.11. Disclosure. The Loan Parties have disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject, and all other matters known to them, that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Information Materials nor any of the other reports, financial statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished)

 

81


contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to forecasts and projected financial information, the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by them to be reasonable at the time made and at the time so furnished and, if furnished prior to the Second Restatement Effective Date, as of the Second Restatement Effective Date (it being understood that such forecasts and projections may vary from actual results and that such variances may be material).

SECTION 3.12. Subsidiaries and Joint Ventures. Schedule 3.12 sets forth, as of the Second Restatement Effective Date, the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of, and the percentage of each class of Equity Interests owned by the Company or any Subsidiary in, (a) each Subsidiary and (b) each joint venture in which the Company or any Subsidiary owns any Equity Interests, and identifies each Designated Subsidiary and each Inactive Subsidiary as such. None of the Subsidiaries set forth on Schedule 1.01A conducts any business operations or owns any assets material to the Company and the Subsidiaries. All the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in each Subsidiary owned by any Loan Party have been (to the extent such concepts are relevant with respect to such Equity Interests) duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non assessable. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12, as of the Second Restatement Effective Date, there is no existing option, warrant, call, right, commitment or other agreement to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party requiring, and there are no Equity Interests in any Subsidiary outstanding that upon exercise, conversion or exchange would require, the issuance by any Subsidiary of any additional Equity Interests or other securities exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or evidencing the right to subscribe for or purchase any Equity Interests in any Subsidiary.

SECTION 3.13. Insurance. Schedule 3.13 sets forth a description of all insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries as of the Second Restatement Effective Date. As of the Second Restatement Effective Date, all premiums due and payable in respect of such insurance have been paid. The Loan Parties believe that the insurance maintained by or on behalf of the Company and the Subsidiaries is adequate.

SECTION 3.14. Federal Reserve Regulations. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors), or extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying margin stock. No part of the proceeds of any Loan or any Letter of Credit will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, in any manner or for any purpose that would entail a violation of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors.

SECTION 3.15. Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions to occur on the Second Restatement Effective Date, (a) the fair value of the assets of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, at a fair valuation, will exceed their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise; (b) the present fair

 

82


saleable value of the property of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries (determined on the basis of such property being liquidated with reasonable promptness in an arm’s-length transaction) will be greater than the amount that will be required to pay the probable liability of their debts and other liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts and other liabilities become absolute and matured; (c) the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries will be able to pay their debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise (it being understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section, contingent liabilities mean the maximum amount of liability that could reasonably be likely to result from pending litigation, asserted claims and assessments, guaranties, indemnification obligations, adjustment of purchase price or other post-closing payment adjustments (including earn-outs and other similar arrangements) and uninsured risks of the Company and its Subsidiaries), as such debts and liabilities become absolute and matured; and (d) the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries will not have unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the businesses in which they are engaged as such businesses are now conducted and are proposed to be conducted following the Second Restatement Effective Date.

SECTION 3.16. Collateral Matters. (a) The Restated Security Agreement, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral and (i) when the Collateral constituting certificated securities (as defined in the UCC) is delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with instruments of transfer duly endorsed in blank, the security interest created under the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the pledgors thereunder in such Collateral, prior and superior in right to any other Person, and (ii) when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the applicable filing offices, the security interest created under the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the remaining Collateral (as defined therein) to the extent perfection can be obtained by filing UCC financing statements, prior and superior to the rights of any other Person, except for rights secured by Liens permitted under Section 6.02.

(b) Each Mortgage, upon execution and delivery thereof by the parties thereto, will create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in all the applicable mortgagor’s right, title and interest in and to the Mortgaged Properties subject thereto and the proceeds thereof, and when the Mortgages have been filed in the jurisdictions specified therein, the Mortgages will constitute a fully perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the mortgagors in the Mortgaged Properties and the proceeds thereof, prior and superior in right to any other Person, but subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02.

(c) Upon the recordation of the IP Security Agreements with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, and the filing of the financing statements referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section, the security interest created under the Restated Security Agreement will constitute a fully

 

83


perfected security interest in all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in the Intellectual Property (as defined in the Restated Security Agreement) in which a security interest may be perfected by filing in the United States of America, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person, but subject to Liens permitted under Section 6.02 (it being understood that subsequent recordings in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office may be necessary to perfect a security interest in such Intellectual Property acquired by the Loan Parties after the Second Restatement Effective Date).

SECTION 3.17. Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Loans and will request the issuance of Letters of Credit only for purposes set forth in Section 5.11.

SECTION 3.18. Credit Card Agreements. Schedule 3.18 (as updated from time to time as permitted by Section 5.16) sets forth a list of all Credit Card Agreements to which any Loan Party is a party. A true and complete copy of each Credit Card Agreement listed on Schedule 3.18 has been delivered to the Administrative Agent, together with all material amendments, waivers and other modifications thereto. All such Credit Card Agreements are in full force and effect, currently binding upon each Loan Party that is a party thereto and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, binding upon other parties thereto in accordance with their terms. The Loan Parties are in compliance in all material respects with each such Credit Card Agreement.

The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender or Issuing Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank 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 it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing (and it is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law, and that such term is used as a matter of market custom and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties), (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or to exercise any discretionary power, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents that the Administrative

 

110


Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion, could expose the Administrative Agent to liability or be contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in the Loan Documents) or in the absence of its own bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment). The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof (stating that it is a “notice of default”) is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower Representative or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection with any Loan Document, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth in any Loan Document or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, (v) the creation, perfection or priority of Liens on the Collateral or the existence of the Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, 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 (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof). The Administrative Agent also shall be entitled to rely, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Loan Documents for being the signatory, sender or authenticator thereof), and may act upon any such statement prior to receipt of written confirmation thereof. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance, extension, renewal or increase of a Letter of Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or an Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Bank unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary

 

111


from such Lender or Issuing Bank prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts

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

Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower Representative. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrowers, to appoint a successor that is an Eligible Successor Agent. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, in consultation with the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which is an Eligible Successor Agent, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article, Section 2.17(d) and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.

Each Lender and Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis

 

112


and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Lender or any Issuing Bank, or any of the Related Parties of any of the foregoing, 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, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may prepare and distribute to the Lenders Reports containing information obtained by the Administrative Agent through the conduct of appraisals and field examinations pursuant to Sections 5.12 and 5.13 and the exercise of its inspection rights under Section 5.09. Each Lender hereby agrees that (a) it has requested a copy of each Report prepared by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent; (b) the Administrative Agent (i) makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness or accuracy of any Report or any of the information contained therein or any inaccuracy or omission contained in or relating to a Report and (ii) shall not be liable for any information contained in any Report; (c) the Reports are not comprehensive audits or examinations, and that any Person performing any field examination will inspect only specific information regarding the Loan Parties and will rely significantly upon the Loan Parties’ books and records, as well as on representations of the Loan Parties’ personnel and that the Administrative Agent undertakes no obligation to update, correct or supplement the Reports; (d) it will keep all Reports confidential and strictly for its internal use, not share the Report with any Loan Party or any other Person except as otherwise permitted pursuant to this Agreement; and (e) without limiting the generality of any other indemnification provision contained in this Agreement, it will pay and protect, and indemnify, defend, and hold the Administrative Agent and any such other Person preparing a Report harmless from and against, the claims, actions, proceedings, damages, costs, expenses, and other amounts (including reasonable attorney fees) incurred by as the direct or indirect result of any third parties who might obtain all or part of any Report through the indemnifying Lender.

The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, and, except solely to the extent of the Borrowers’ rights to consent pursuant to and subject to the conditions set forth in this Article, none of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provisions. Each Lender Party, whether or not a party hereto, will be deemed, by its acceptance of the benefits of the Collateral and of the Loan Guarantee provided under the Loan Documents, to have agreed to the provisions of this Article.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Arrangers nor any Person named on the cover page of this Agreement as a Syndication Agent or a Documentation Agent shall have any duties or obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except in its capacity, as applicable, as a Lender or an Issuing Bank), but all such Persons shall have the benefit of the indemnities provided for hereunder.

114


(b) Notices and other communications to the Lenders and Issuing Banks hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications (including e-mail and internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices under Article II to any Lender or Issuing Bank if such Lender or Issuing Bank, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower Representative (on behalf of the Loan Parties) may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. All such notices and other communications (i) sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if not given during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (b)(i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor.

The Platform is provided “as is” and “as available”. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any its Related Parties warrants, or shall be deemed to warrant, the adequacy of the Platform and expressly disclaim liability for errors or omissions in the Communications. No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made, or shall be deemed to be made, by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the Communications or the Platform.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments. (a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders hereunder and under any other Loan Document are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of any Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for

 

115


which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Except as provided in Sections 2.09(e), 5.16, 9.02(e) and 9.18, and except for the execution and delivery of the Joinder Agreements, none of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof may be waived, amended or modified except (i) in the case of this Agreement, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrowers and the Required Lenders or (ii) in the case of any other Loan Document, pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties that are parties thereto, with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that (A) any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the Company and the Administrative Agent to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency so long as, in each case, (1) such amendment does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or (2) the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that the Required Lenders object to such amendment and (B) no such agreement shall (1) increase the Revolving Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender (provided that the Administrative Agent may make Protective Advances and Overadvances as set forth in Section 2.04 or 2.05, as applicable), (2) reduce or forgive the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce or forgive any interest or fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (3) postpone any scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any date for the payment of any interest, fees or other Obligations payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Revolving Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (4) change Section 2.18(b) or 2.18(d) in a manner that would alter the manner in which payments are shared, without the written consent of each Lender, (5) increase the advance rates set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base or add new categories of eligible assets, without the written consent of each Lender, (6) change any of the provisions of this Section or the percentage set forth in the definition of the term “Required Lenders” or any other provision of any Loan Document specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights thereunder or make any determination or grant any consent thereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, (7) change Section 2.20 without the consent of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender), (8) release any Loan Guarantor from its obligation under its Loan Guarantee (except as otherwise permitted herein or in the other Loan Documents), without the written consent of each Lender, or (9) except as provided in paragraph (c) of this Section or in any Collateral Document, release Collateral having an aggregate value in excess of $20,000,000 without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender hereunder or under any

 

116


other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, as the case may be (it being understood that any change to Section 2.20 shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender and the Issuing Banks). Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended without any additional consents to provide for increased Revolving Commitments in the manner contemplated by Section 2.09. The Administrative Agent may also amend Schedule 2.01 to reflect increases in the Revolving Commitments in the manner contemplated by Section 2.09 or assignments entered into pursuant to Section 9.04.

(c) The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, (i) to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by the Loan Parties on any Collateral (A) upon the termination of all the Revolving Commitments, payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Secured Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and the cash collateralization of all Unliquidated Obligations in a manner satisfactory to each affected Lender, (B) constituting property being sold or disposed of if the Loan Party disposing of such property certifies to the Administrative Agent that the sale or disposition is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), and to the extent that the property being sold or disposed of constitutes 100% of the Equity Interest of a Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent is authorized to release any Loan Guarantee provided by such Subsidiary, (C) constituting property leased to a Loan Party under a lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction not prohibited under this Agreement and (D) as required to effect any sale or other disposition of such Collateral in connection with any exercise of remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Article VII and (ii) to release any Loan Guarantee provided by any Subsidiary that may be dissolved pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(iv) in connection with a voluntary liquidation or dissolution thereof permitted by such Section and, in connection therewith, to release any Liens granted to the Administrative Agent by such Subsidiary on any Collateral, if the Company certifies to the Administrative Agent that such liquidation or dissolution is made in compliance with the terms of this Agreement (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry). The Lenders and the Issuing Banks hereby further irrevocably authorize the release of Liens on the Term Priority Collateral as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. Except as provided above and in paragraphs (b) and (e) of this Section, the Administrative Agent will not release any Liens on Collateral without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders; provided that, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion, release its Liens on Collateral valued in the aggregate not in excess of $10,000,000 during any calendar year without the prior written authorization of the Required Lenders. Any such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly being released) upon (or obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of) all interests retained by the Loan Parties, including the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.

 

117


(d) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each Lender affected thereby,” the consents of Lenders having Credit Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments representing more than 66% of the sum of the total Credit Exposure and unused Revolving Commitments at such time are obtained, but the consents of other necessary Lenders are not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Borrower Representative may elect to replace any Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) an Eligible Assignee which is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of paragraph (b) of Section 9.04, and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement (A) all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Sections 2.15 and 2.17, and (B) an amount, if any, equal to the payment which would have been due to such Lender on the day of such replacement under Section 2.16 had the Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender.

(e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may, without the consent of any Lender Party, consent to a departure by any Loan Party from any covenant of such Loan Party set forth in this Agreement or in any Collateral Document to the extent such departure is consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent set forth in the definition of the term “Collateral and Guarantee Requirement”.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver. (a) The Borrowers shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, including the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their Affiliates, and if deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent, one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, in connection with the syndication and distribution (including, without limitation, via the internet or through a service such as Intralinks) of the credit facility provided for herein, the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of the Loan Documents (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by each Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with

 

118


the enforcement, collection or protection of its rights in connection with the Loan Documents, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit. Subject to the provisions of Sections 5.09, 5.12 and 5.13, expenses subject to reimbursement by the Borrowers under this Section include, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with:

(i) appraisals and insurance reviews;

(ii) field examinations and the preparation of Reports based on the fees charged by a third party retained by the Administrative Agent or the internally allocated fees for each Person employed by the Administrative Agent with respect to each field examination;

(iii) taxes, fees and other charges for (A) lien searches and (B) filing financing statements and continuations, and other actions to perfect, protect, and continue the Administrative Agent’s Liens;

(iv) sums paid or incurred to take any action required of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents that such Loan Party fails to pay or take; and

(v) forwarding loan proceeds, collecting checks and other items of payment, and establishing and maintaining the accounts and lock boxes, and costs and expenses of preserving and protecting the Collateral.

All of the foregoing costs and expenses may be charged to the Borrowers as Revolving Loans or to another deposit account, all as described in Section 2.18(c).

(b) The Borrowers agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”), against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, penalties, incremental taxes, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of the Loan Documents or any agreement or instrument contemplated thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations thereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by an Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on at, to or from any property owned or operated by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any other Environmental Liability related in any way to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or

 

119


proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether such proceeding is initiated against or by any party to this Agreement, or any Affiliate thereof, by an Indemnitee or any third party or whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, penalties, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the bad faith, gross negligence or wilful misconduct of such Indemnitee. This Section shall not apply to any Taxes (other than Other Taxes or any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages or related expenses arising from any non-Tax claim).

(c) To the extent the Borrowers fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, Swingline Lender or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, penalty, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or such sub-agent), such Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), any Issuing Bank or the Swingline Lender in connection with such capacity.

(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee (i) for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems (including the Internet) or (ii) on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the Transactions, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.

(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) the Borrowers may not assign or otherwise transfer any of their rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by a Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any

 

120


Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section), the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the sub-agents of the Administrative Agent and the Related Parties of any of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A) the Borrower Representative; provided that no consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee;

(B) the Administrative Agent;

(C) the Swingline Lender; provided that if the Swingline Lender has not provided written notice of its objection to any proposed assignment within three Business Days of its receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment; and

(D) each Issuing Bank; provided that if any Issuing Bank has not provided written notice of its objection to any proposed assignment within three Business Days of its receipt thereof from the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have consented to such proposed assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Revolving Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent; provided that no such consent of the Borrower Representative shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in which the assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Company, the Subsidiaries and other Affiliates thereof or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable law, including Federal, State and foreign securities laws.

(iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and records of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

122


(v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05, 2.06(d) or (e), 2.07(b), 2.17(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lender, sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignees (“Participants”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant or requires the approval of all the Lenders. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(d) as though it were a Lender.

(ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower Representative’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.17 unless the Borrower Representative is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 2.17(f) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender

 

123


that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain records of the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any Arranger, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any Loan Document is executed and delivered or any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any LC Exposure is outstanding and so long as the Revolving Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Revolving Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different

 

124


counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall become effective as provided in the Second Restatement Agreement and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of any Loan Document held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor against any of and all the Secured Obligations held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under the Loan Documents and although such obligations may be unmatured. The applicable Lender shall notify the Borrower Representative and the Administrative Agent of such set-off or application; provided that any failure to give or any delay in giving such notice shall not affect the validity of any such set-off or application under this Section. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

SECTION 9.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) THE LOAN DOCUMENTS (OTHER THAN THOSE CONTAINING A CONTRARY EXPRESS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISION) SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

(b) Each party hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York County and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each Loan Party hereby irrevocably

 

125


and unconditionally agrees that all claims arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought by it or any of its Affiliates shall be brought, and shall be heard and determined, exclusively in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each party 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. Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Loan Party or any of its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

(c) Each Loan Party hereby 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 any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. 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.

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SECTION 9.10. 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, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT 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 PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

SECTION 9.12. Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below) with the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential

 

126


information, but in no event less than a commercially reasonable degree of care, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Related Parties, including accountants, legal counsel and other agents and advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable law or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing confidentiality undertakings substantially similar to those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its Related Parties) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or its obligations, (g) on a confidential basis to any rating agency in connection with rating the Company or the Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided for herein, (h) with the consent of the Company, or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of clause (c) above, the party disclosing such information shall provide to the Company prior written notice of such disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law (and to the extent commercially feasible under the circumstances) and shall cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s sole expense, in obtaining a protective order for, or other confidential treatment of, such disclosure, in each case at the Company’s sole expense. For the purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrowers relating to the Company or any Subsidiary or their businesses or the Collateral, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing, on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrowers; provided that, in the case of information received from the Borrowers after the Second Restatement Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.

EACH LENDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT INFORMATION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 9.12 FURNISHED TO IT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY INCLUDE MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES, AND CONFIRMS THAT IT HAS DEVELOPED COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES REGARDING THE USE OF MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION AND THAT IT WILL HANDLE SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THOSE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

 

127


ALL INFORMATION, INCLUDING REQUESTS FOR WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS, FURNISHED BY THE BORROWERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT PURSUANT TO, OR IN THE COURSE OF ADMINISTERING, THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE SYNDICATE-LEVEL INFORMATION, WHICH MAY CONTAIN MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION CONCERNING THE COMPANY, THE SUBSIDIARIES AND ITS OTHER AFFILIATES AND THEIR RESPECTIVE SECURITIES. ACCORDINGLY, EACH LENDER REPRESENTS TO THE BORROWERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT THAT IT HAS IDENTIFIED IN ITS ADMINISTRATIVE QUESTIONNAIRE A CREDIT CONTACT WHO MAY RECEIVE INFORMATION THAT MAY CONTAIN SUCH MATERIAL NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMPLIANCE PROCEDURES AND APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FEDERAL AND STATE SECURITIES LAWS.

SECTION 9.13. Several Obligations; Nonreliance; Violation of Law. The respective obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint and the failure of any Lender to make any Loan or perform any of its obligations hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender from any of its obligations hereunder. Anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, neither any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall be obligated to extend credit to the Borrowers in violation of applicable law.

SECTION 9.14. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors, which information includes the names and addresses of the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrowers and the Loan Guarantors in accordance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.15. Appointment for Perfection. Each Lender hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent for the purpose of perfecting Liens, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the UCC or any other applicable law can be perfected only by possession. Should any Lender (other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof, and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor shall deliver such Collateral to the Administrative Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions.

SECTION 9.16. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively the “Charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect

 

128


thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

SECTION 9.17. No Fiduciary Relationship. Each Loan Party, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, agrees that in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated hereby and any communications in connection therewith, the Company, the Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their 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 Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates, and no such duty will be deemed to have arisen in connection with any such transactions or communications. The Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company, the Subsidiaries and its other Affiliates, and none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or their Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Company, the Subsidiaries or its other Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Loan Party hereby waives and releases any claims that it or any of its Affiliates may have against the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and their Affiliates with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

SECTION 9.18. Intercreditor Agreement. The Lenders and the Issuing Banks acknowledge that the obligations of the Company under the Term Credit Agreement are (and obligations in respect of any other Permitted Term Indebtedness may in the future be) secured by Liens on assets of the Company and the other Loan Parties that constitute Collateral and that the relative Lien priority and other creditor rights of the Lender Parties hereunder and the secured parties under the Term Credit Agreement (or in respect of such other Permitted Term Indebtedness) will be set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby irrevocably (a) consents to the subordination of the Liens on the Term First Priority Collateral securing the Secured Obligations on the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement, (b) authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver the Intercreditor Agreement and any documents relating thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuing Bank, (c) agrees that, upon the execution and delivery thereof, such Lender or Issuing Bank will be bound by the provisions of the Intercreditor

 

129


Agreement as if it were a signatory thereto and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and (d) agrees that no Lender or Issuing Bank shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Bank hereby further irrevocably authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent (i) to take such actions as shall be required to release Liens on the Collateral in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) to enter into such amendments, supplements or other modifications to the Intercreditor Agreement in connection with any extension, renewal, refinancing or replacement of any Secured Obligations and any Permitted Term Indebtedness as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent to give effect thereto, in each case on behalf of such Lender or Issuing Bank and without any further consent, authorization or other action by such Lender or Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall have the benefit of the provisions of Article VIII with respect to all actions taken by it pursuant to this Section or in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement to the full extent thereof. The foregoing provisions are intended as an inducement to the secured parties under the Term Credit Agreement (or in respect of other Permitted Term Indebtedness) to extend credit to the Company and such secured parties are intended third party beneficiaries of such provisions.

SECTION 9.19. Dutch Parallel Debt. (a) Each Loan Party irrevocably and unconditionally undertakes to pay to the Administrative Agent amounts equal to, and in the currency or currencies of, its Corresponding Debt.

(b) The Parallel Debt of each Loan Party:

(i) shall become due and payable at the same time as its Corresponding Debt; and

(ii) is independent and separate from, and without prejudice to, its Corresponding Debt.

(c) For purposes of this Section, the Administrative Agent:

(i) is the independent and separate creditor of each Parallel Debt;

(ii) acts in its own name and not as agent, representative or trustee of the Lender Parties and its claims in respect of each Parallel Debt shall not be held in trust; and

(iii) shall have the independent and separate right to demand payment of each Parallel Debt in its own name (including, without limitation, through any suit, execution, enforcement of security, recovery of guarantees and applications for and voting in any kind of insolvency proceeding in accordance with the Loan Documents).

(d) The Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall be (i) decreased to the extent that its Corresponding Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged

 

130


and (ii) increased to the extent to that its Corresponding Debt has increased, and the Corresponding Debt of a Loan Party shall be (x) decreased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has been irrevocably and unconditionally paid or discharged and (y) increased to the extent that its Parallel Debt has increased, in each case provided that the Parallel Debt of a Loan Party shall never exceed its Corresponding Debt.

(e) All amounts received or recovered by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Section, to the extent permitted by applicable law, shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.18.

(f) This Section applies solely for the purpose of determining the secured obligations in the Collateral Documents governed by Dutch law.

ARTICLE X

Loan Guarantee

SECTION 10.01. Guarantee. Each Loan Guarantor hereby agrees that it is jointly and severally liable for, and absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Lender Parties the prompt payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of the Secured Obligations and all reasonable costs and expenses including, without limitation, all court costs and attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses paid or incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders in endeavoring to collect all or any part of the Secured Obligations from, or in prosecuting any action against, any Borrower, any Loan Guarantor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Secured Obligations (such costs and expenses, together with the Secured Obligations, being collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). Each Loan Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed in whole or in part without notice to or further assent from it, and that it remains bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any such extension or renewal. All terms of this Loan Guarantee apply to and may be enforced by or on behalf of any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of any Lender that extended any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.02. Guarantee of Payment. This Loan Guarantee is a Guarantee of payment and not of collection. Each Loan Guarantor waives any right to require the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party to sue any Borrower, any other Loan Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other Person obligated for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations (each, an “Obligated Party”), or to enforce its rights against any collateral securing all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.03. No Discharge or Diminishment of Loan Guarantee. (a) Except as otherwise provided for herein, the obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any reduction, limitation,

 

131


impairment or termination for any reason (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including: (i) any claim of waiver, release, extension, renewal, settlement, surrender, alteration, or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, by operation of law or otherwise; (ii) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Borrower or any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Obligated Party or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of any Obligated Party; or (iv) the existence of any claim, setoff or other right which any Loan Guarantor may have at any time against any Obligated Party, the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in any unrelated transaction.

(b) The obligations of each Loan Guarantor hereunder are not subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit payment by any Obligated Party, of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof.

(c) Further, the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder are not discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy with respect to all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) any waiver or modification of or supplement to any provision of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations; (iii) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any indirect or direct security for the obligations of any Borrower for all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any obligations of any other guarantor of or other Person liable for any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any action or failure to act by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Lender Party with respect to any collateral securing any part of the Guaranteed Obligations; or (v) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the payment or performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other circumstance, act, omission or delay that might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of such Loan Guarantor or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations).

SECTION 10.04. Defenses Waived. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor hereby waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor or the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any Borrower or any Loan Guarantor, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Guarantor irrevocably waives acceptance hereof, presentment, demand, protest and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any Obligated Party or any other Person. Each Loan Guarantor confirms that it is not a surety under any state law and shall not raise any such law as a defense to its

 

132


obligations hereunder. The Administrative Agent may, at its election, foreclose on any Collateral held by it by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such Collateral in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise act or fail to act with respect to any collateral securing all or a part of the Guaranteed Obligations, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with any Obligated Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any Obligated Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of such Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guarantee except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and indefeasibly paid in cash. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Loan Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though that election may operate, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Loan Guarantor against any Obligated Party or any security.

SECTION 10.05. Rights of Subrogation. No Loan Guarantor will assert any right, claim or cause of action, including, without limitation, a claim of subrogation, contribution or indemnification that it has against any Obligated Party, or any Collateral, until the Loan Parties and the Loan Guarantors have fully performed all their obligations to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the other Lender Parties.

SECTION 10.06. Reinstatement; Stay of Acceleration. If at any time any payment of any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, each Loan Guarantor’s obligations under this Loan Guarantee with respect to that payment shall be reinstated at such time as though the payment had not been made and whether or not the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders or the other Lender Parties are in possession of this Loan Guarantee. If acceleration of the time for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of any agreement relating to the Guaranteed Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Loan Guarantors forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10.07. Information. Each Loan Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that each Loan Guarantor assumes and incurs under this Loan Guarantee, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender shall have any duty to advise any Loan Guarantor of information known to it regarding those circumstances or risks.

SECTION 10.08. Taxes. The provisions of Section 2.17 shall apply mutatis mutandis to all payments by the Loan Guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations.

SECTION 10.09. Maximum Liability. The provisions of this Loan Guarantee are severable, and in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law

 

133


affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Loan Guarantor under this Loan Guarantee would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or unenforceable on account of the amount of such Loan Guarantor’s liability under this Loan Guarantee, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Loan Guarantee to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by the Loan Guarantors or the Lenders, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding (such highest amount determined hereunder being the relevant Loan Guarantor’s “Maximum Liability”). This Section with respect to the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Lenders to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Loan Guarantor nor any other Person or entity shall have any right or claim under this Section with respect to such Maximum Liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of any Loan Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Loan Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the Maximum Liability of each Loan Guarantor without impairing this Loan Guarantee or affecting the rights and remedies of the Lenders hereunder; provided that nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Loan Guarantor’s obligations hereunder beyond its Maximum Liability.

SECTION 10.10. Contribution. In the event any Loan Guarantor (a “Paying Guarantor”) shall make any payment or payments under this Loan Guarantee or shall suffer any loss as a result of any realization upon any collateral granted by it to secure its obligations under this Loan Guarantee, each other Loan Guarantor (each a “Non-Paying Guarantor”) shall contribute to such Paying Guarantor an amount equal to such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Applicable Share of such payment or payments made, or losses suffered, by such Paying Guarantor. For purposes of this Section, each Non-Paying Guarantor’s “Applicable Share” with respect to any such payment or loss by a Paying Guarantor shall be determined as of the date on which such payment or loss was made by reference to the ratio of (a) such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder) or, if such Non-Paying Guarantor’s Maximum Liability has not been determined, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Non-Paying Guarantor from the Borrowers after the Original Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means) to (b) the aggregate Maximum Liability of all Loan Guarantors hereunder (including such Paying Guarantor) as of such date (without giving effect to any right to receive, or obligation to make, any contribution hereunder), or to the extent that a Maximum Liability has not been determined for any Loan Guarantor, the aggregate amount of all monies received by such Loan Guarantors from the Borrowers after the Original Effective Date (whether by loan, capital infusion or by other means). Nothing in this provision shall affect any Loan Guarantor’s several liability for the entire amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (up to such Loan Guarantor’s Maximum Liability). Each of the Loan Guarantors covenants and agrees that its right to receive any contribution under this Loan Guarantee from a Non-Paying Guarantor shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. This provision is for the benefit of both the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Loan Guarantors and may be enforced by any one, or more, or all of them in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

134


SECTION 10.11. Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Loan Party as a Loan Guarantor under this Article X is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all other liabilities of each Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party or in respect of any obligations or liabilities of the other Loan Parties, without any limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

The Company is hereby appointed by each of the Borrowers as its contractual representative (herein referred to as the “Borrower Representative”) hereunder and under each other Loan Document, and each of the Borrowers irrevocably authorizes the Borrower Representative to act as the contractual representative of such Borrower with the rights and duties expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. The Borrower Representative agrees to act as such contractual representative upon the express conditions contained in this Article XI. Additionally, the Borrowers hereby appoint the Borrower Representative as their agent to receive all of the proceeds of the Loans in the Funding Account(s), at which time the Borrower Representative shall promptly disburse such Loans to the appropriate Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, and their respective Related Parties, shall not be liable to the Borrower Representative or any Borrower for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 11.02. Powers. The Borrower Representative shall have and may exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Borrower Representative by the terms of each thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Borrower Representative shall have no implied duties to the Borrowers, or any obligation to the Lenders to take any action thereunder except any action specifically provided by the Loan Documents to be taken by the Borrower Representative.

SECTION 11.03. Employment of Agents. The Borrower Representative may execute any of its duties as the Borrower Representative hereunder and under any other Loan Document by or through authorized officers.

SECTION 11.04. Notices. Each Borrower shall immediately notify the Borrower Representative of the occurrence of any Default hereunder referring to this Agreement describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Borrower Representative receives such a notice, the Borrower

 

135


Representative shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. Any notice provided to the Borrower Representative hereunder shall constitute notice to each Borrower on the date received by the Borrower Representative.

SECTION 11.05. Successor Borrower Representative. Upon the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Representative may resign at any time, such resignation to be effective upon the appointment of a successor Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt written notice of such resignation to the Lenders.

SECTION 11.06. Execution of Loan Documents; Borrowing Base Certificate. The Borrowers hereby empower and authorize the Borrower Representative, on behalf of the Borrowers, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders the Loan Documents and all related agreements, certificates, documents, or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Loan Documents, including without limitation, the Borrowing Base Certificates and the Compliance Certificates. Each Borrower agrees that any action taken by the Borrower Representative or the Borrowers in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Borrower Representative of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Borrowers.

SECTION 11.07. Reporting. Each Borrower hereby agrees that such Borrower shall furnish promptly after each fiscal month to the Borrower Representative any certificate or report requested by the Borrower Representative, on which the Borrower Representative shall rely to prepare the Borrowing Base Certificates and Compliance Certificates required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

(A) any ABL Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any Term Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral;

(B) any Term Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any ABL Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral;

(C) any Term Lien on any Term Priority Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be senior in all respects and prior to any ABL Lien on any Term Priority Collateral; and

(D) any ABL Lien on any Term Priority Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Term Lien on any Term Priority Collateral;

provided that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(1) any ABL Lien on any ABL Priority Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, possession, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, insofar as such ABL Lien secures ABL Excess Amounts, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to all Term Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral (other than any Term Lien insofar as such Term Lien secures Term Excess Amounts); and

Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them will (and hereby waives any right to) contest or question the validity or enforceability of, or join or otherwise support any other Person in contesting or questioning the validity or enforceability of, in any proceeding, including any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, (a) the existence, perfection, priority, validity or enforceability of any ABL Lien (whether securing ABL Obligations or any ABL Excess Amounts) or any Term Lien (whether securing Term Obligations or any Term Excess Amounts), (b) the validity or enforceability of any ABL Obligations (or any ABL Excess Amounts) or any Term Obligations (or any Term Excess Amounts) or (c) the enforceability of this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent or impair the right of any Secured Party to enforce this Agreement.

SECTION 2.03. No New Liens. (a) Whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, each Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that no Secured Party shall accept any additional Lien under any Collateral Document on any asset of any Grantor to secure Obligations of any Class unless such Grantor has granted or concurrently grants a Lien on such asset to secure Obligations of the other Class (all such Liens to have the relative priorities set forth herein based on whether the assets subject to such Liens constitute ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral and whether such Liens secure ABL Excess Amounts or Term Excess Amounts); provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (i) Liens on any asset of any Grantor granted to secure Obligations of any Class if such asset is expressly excluded from the grant of a security interest by such Grantor pursuant to the Collateral Documents of the other Class and (ii) additional Liens on any asset of any Grantor granted to secure Obligations of any Class if, prior to such grant, such Grantor has offered in writing to grant a Lien on such asset to secure Obligations of the other Class and the Agent of such other Class has affirmatively declined in writing to accept such Lien or has failed to respond to such offer within 30 days thereof, in which case such Agent shall be deemed to have declined to accept such Lien. To the extent that the foregoing provisions are not complied with for any reason, without limiting any other rights and remedies available to the other Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties, each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that any amounts received by or distributed to such Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties pursuant to or as a result of Liens granted in contravention of this Section shall be subject to Section 4.02.

 

15

SECTION 2.04. Revolving Nature of ABL Obligations. The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (a) the ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment and that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder, (b) the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, (c) all cash collateral received by the ABL Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time and from time to time and (d) the advance rates under the ABL Credit Agreement may be reduced, and Reserves (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) may be imposed, under the terms of the ABL Credit Agreement, in each case without altering or otherwise affecting the Lien priorities set forth in this Agreement.

Enforcement

SECTION 3.01. Exercise of Remedies. (a) Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to such Collateral has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them will:

(i) enforce or exercise, or seek to enforce or exercise, any rights or remedies with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral of any Secured Party of the other Class (including the exercise of any right of set-off or enforcement of any right under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement) or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure); provided that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that this Section shall not in any way prohibit any Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties from (A) commencing, or joining in filing of a petition for commencement of, any involuntary Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of the type described in clause (a) or (b) of the definition of such term or (B) exercising any of its rights during an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to the extent expressly permitted by Article VI;

(ii) subject to the proviso set forth in paragraph (a)(i) of this Section, commence or join with any Person (other than the Senior Secured Parties upon the request thereof) in commencing, or file with any court documents that seek to commence, or petition for or vote in favor of, any action or proceeding with

 

16


respect to any rights or remedies with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral of any Secured Party of the other Class (including any foreclosure action or seeking or requesting relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding to enable the commencement and pursuit thereof);

(iii) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by any Secured Party of the other Class with respect to, or any other enforcement or exercise by any Secured Party of such other Class of any rights and remedies relating to, any Senior Priority Collateral of such Secured Party, whether under the Credit Documents of such other Class or otherwise and including any Disposition of any such Senior Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise; and

(iv) contest, protest or object to the forbearance by any Secured Party of the other Class from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action with respect to, or any other enforcement or exercise by any Secured Party of such other Class of any rights or remedies relating to, any Senior Priority Collateral of such Secured Party;

provided that, in each case under this Section, the Junior Liens on such Collateral shall attach to all Proceeds of such Collateral resulting from actions taken by any Senior Secured Party in accordance with this Agreement, subject to the relative Lien priorities set forth in Section 2.01.

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including paragraph (a)(i) of this Section), until the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to such Collateral has occurred, whether or not any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding has been commenced, the Senior Secured Parties in respect of such Collateral shall have the exclusive right to enforce and exercise rights and remedies (including the exercise of any right of set-off, any right under any lockbox agreement, control agreement, landlord waiver or bailee’s letter or similar agreement or arrangement and the right to credit bid their debt) with respect to any of their Senior Priority Collateral and, in the course of such exercise, make related determinations regarding the release, Disposition or restrictions with respect to any such Collateral, without any consultation with or the consent of any Junior Secured Party; provided that the Junior Liens on such Collateral shall remain on the Proceeds of such Collateral so released or Disposed of, subject to the relative Lien priorities set forth in Section 2.01. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to any of its Senior Priority Collateral, each Senior Secured Party may enforce the provisions of the applicable Senior Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as it may determine in its sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the right of any agent appointed by any Senior Secured Party to sell or otherwise Dispose of such Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or other Disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and of a secured creditor under Bankruptcy Laws of any applicable jurisdiction.

 

17


(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Secured Parties of any Class may:

(i) file a claim or statement of interest with respect to Obligations of such Class in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding;

(ii) take any action in order to create, perfect, preserve, protect or prove (but not enforce) their Junior Liens on any Collateral, provided that no such action is, or could reasonably be expected to be, (A) adverse to the priority status of any Senior Liens on such Collateral or the rights of any Senior Secured Party to exercise remedies in respect thereof or (B) otherwise inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including the automatic release of Junior Liens provided in Section 5.01;

(iii) file any responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of any Secured Party of such Class, including any claims secured by Junior Priority Collateral thereof, or the avoidance of any Liens on the Collateral securing Obligations of such Class, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement;

(iv) exercise their rights and remedies as unsecured creditors to the extent (and only to the extent) provided in paragraph (e) of this Section;

(v) vote on any plan of reorganization (including to accept or reject any plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition or extension), file any proof of claim with respect to Obligations or Liens of such Class, and make other filings and make any arguments and motions, in each case, to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement; and

(vi) join (but not exercise any control with respect to) any judicial foreclosure proceeding or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to any Collateral initiated by any Senior Secured Party with respect thereto, to the extent that any such action could not reasonably be expected to restrain, hinder, limit, delay for any significant period or otherwise interfere with the exercise of rights or remedies with respect to such Collateral by the Senior Secured Parties (it being understood that no Junior Secured Party shall be entitled to receive any Proceeds thereof unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby).

Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that it will not take or receive any Senior Priority Collateral of any Secured Party of the other Class or any Proceeds of any such Collateral in connection with the enforcement or exercise of any right or remedy (including any right of set-off) with respect to such Collateral in its capacity as a creditor, or in connection with any insurance policy relating to any such Collateral or any Condemnation Proceeds relating to any such Collateral, in each case to the extent such action is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting

 

18


the generality of the foregoing, until the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to such Collateral has occurred, except as expressly provided in this paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section (but subject to Section 4.02) and Sections 5.07, 5.08, 5.09, 6.03(b) and 6.03(c), the sole right of the Secured Parties of any Class with respect to any of the Senior Priority Collateral of the Secured Parties of the other Class is to hold a Junior Lien on such Collateral and to receive a share of the Proceeds thereof, if any, after such Discharge of Senior Obligations has occurred.

(d) Subject to paragraphs (a) and (c) of this Section and Sections 5.07, 5.08, 5.09, 6.03(b) and 6.03(c), each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties:

(i) agrees that neither such Agent nor any of its Related Secured Parties will take any action that (A) could reasonably be expected to restrain, hinder, limit, delay or otherwise interfere with (1) any enforcement or exercise of remedies with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral of any Secured Party of the other Class, including any Disposition of such Senior Priority Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, or (2) the realization by any Secured Party of the other Class of the full value of any of its Senior Priority Collateral or (B) otherwise would be prohibited hereunder, including any Disposition of any such Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise;

(ii) waives any and all rights such Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties may have as junior lien creditors or otherwise to object to the manner in which any Secured Party of the other Class seeks to enforce or collect any Obligations of such other Class or to enforce or realize on its Senior Liens on any Collateral undertaken in accordance with this Agreement, regardless of whether any action or failure to act by or on behalf of any Secured Party of such other Class is adverse to the interests of such Agent or any of its Related Secured Parties; and

(iii) acknowledges and agrees that no covenant, agreement or restriction contained in any Collateral Document or other Credit Document of any Class shall be deemed to restrict in any way the rights and remedies of any Secured Party of the other Class with respect to any Collateral subject to its Senior Liens as set forth in this Agreement and the Credit Documents of such other Class.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Secured Parties of any Class may, in accordance with the terms of the Documents of such Class and applicable law, enforce rights and exercise remedies against the Company and any other Grantor as unsecured creditors; provided that no such action is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including the limitations set forth in paragraphs (a) and (d) of this Section and in Article VI); provided further that in the event any Secured Party becomes a judgment Lien creditor in respect of any Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor with respect to any of its Obligations, such judgment Lien shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement, including the relative Lien priorities set forth in Section 2.01.

 

19


(f) Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by any Secured Party of any Class of the required or permitted payments of interest, principal and other amounts owed in respect of Obligations of such Class so long as such receipt is not the direct or indirect result of the enforcement or exercise by any Secured Party of such Class of rights or remedies as a secured creditor (including the right of set-off) against, or otherwise holding a Junior Lien on, the Senior Priority Collateral of any Secured Party of the other Class or enforcement in contravention of this Agreement of any Junior Lien on any such Collateral (it being agreed that any such enforcement or exercise permitted by this Agreement shall be subject to Section 4.02).

The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, agrees that to the extent that Proceeds of any Term Priority Collateral are deposited into any Deposit Accounts or lockboxes and are subsequently applied to repay or prepay the ABL Obligations, in the absence of the ABL Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), the sole remedy of the Term Secured Parties with regard to such Proceeds shall be to proceed directly against the Grantors unless, prior to the time such proceeds are applied to repay or prepay the ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent has actually received a Notification of Proceeds. For purposes of the foregoing, a “Notification of Proceeds” means a notice in writing from the Term Collateral Agent or any Grantor to the ABL Agent containing the following information: (a) the Term Priority Collateral being sold or otherwise Disposed; (b) the proposed date of the sale or other Disposition; (c) the approximate amount of Proceeds therefrom; and (d) the name and contact information of the buyer or transferee of such Term Priority Collateral or, in the case of an auction, of the auctioneer.

(e) Until the Discharge of Obligations of the other Class has occurred, if any Secured Party of any Class shall, at any time, receive any insurance Proceeds (including Proceeds of the business interruption insurance) or Condemnation Proceeds in contravention of this Agreement, it shall segregate and hold in trust and forthwith pay over such insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds over to the Agent of the other Class in accordance with the terms of Section 4.02.

(f) Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees to cooperate with the Agent and Secured Parties of the other Class in connection with any Condemnation or Casualty for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Section. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Agent agrees promptly to execute and deliver to the Agent of the other Class such acknowledgements, releases, consents, endorsements and other documents as the Agent of such other Class may reasonably request to accomplish the purposes of this Section (including any such request made at the request of any insurer). In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section and any other provision hereof, the provisions of this Section shall control.

SECTION 5.03. Certain Provisions Regarding Credit Documents. (a) The ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the Term Documents may be Amended, and Indebtedness thereunder may be Refinanced, without the consent of any ABL Secured Party, and the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that the ABL Documents may be Amended, and Indebtedness thereunder may be Refinanced, without the consent of any Term Secured Party. No Amendment of any Credit Document shall affect the lien subordination or other provisions of this Agreement. Nothing in this paragraph shall affect any covenant of any Grantor under the Credit Documents of any Class that restricts the ability of such Grantor to Amend any Credit Document of the other Class or to effect a Refinancing of any Indebtedness thereunder.

(b) In the event any Indebtedness under the Credit Documents of any Class is Refinanced, the holders of such Refinancing Indebtedness shall bind themselves in a writing addressed to the Agent of the other Class, for the benefit of the Secured Parties of such other Class, to the terms of this Agreement.

 

24


(c) The Agent of each Class agrees that each Collateral Document of such Class executed by it shall include the following language (or language to similar effect approved by the Agent of the other Class):

“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement dated as of June 14, 2012 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”), among JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent for, and acting on behalf of, the ABL Secured Parties identified therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its capacity as administrative and collateral agent for, and acting on behalf of, the Term Secured Parties identified therein. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.”

SECTION 5.04. Bailee for Perfection. (a) Each Agent agrees to hold that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control, or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees (such Collateral being called the “Pledged or Controlled Collateral”), as collateral agent for its Related Secured Parties and as gratuitous bailee for the Agent of the other Class (such bailment being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-106(d)(3), 8-301(a)(2) and 9-313(c) of the UCC) solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Credit Documents of such other Class, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section.

(b) No Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to its Related Secured Parties or to any Secured Party of the other Class to ensure that the Pledged or Controlled Collateral is genuine or owned by any of the Grantors or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person. The duties or responsibilities of any Agent to any Secured Party of the other Class under this Section shall be limited solely to holding the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in its possession or under its control as gratuitous bailee in accordance with this Section and delivering such Pledged or Controlled Collateral upon the Discharge of Obligations of the applicable Class as provided in Section 4.03.

(c) No Agent acting pursuant to this Section shall have by reason of any Credit Document, this Agreement or any other document or agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect any Secured Party or any liability to any Secured Party, absent gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Agent (such absence to be presumed unless otherwise determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

25


(d) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, so long as the Discharge of Obligations of the applicable Class has not occurred, each Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Pledged or Controlled Collateral in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Credit Documents of the applicable Class. Upon the Discharge of such Obligations, such Agent shall, at the expense of the Grantors, take such other actions as are reasonably requested by the other Agent in connection with such other Agent obtaining a first-priority interest in, or possession or control of, such Pledged or Controlled Collateral.

SECTION 5.05. When Discharge of Obligations Deemed Not to Have Occurred. If any Grantor shall enter into any Refinancing of Obligations of any Class that is permitted by the Credit Documents of the other Class, where obligations under such Refinancing are secured by Liens on Collateral subject to Senior Liens securing such Refinanced Obligations, then a Discharge of Obligations of such Class shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement and, from and after the date on which the Notice of New Obligations is delivered to the Agent of the other Class in accordance with the next sentence, (a) the obligations under such Refinancing of Obligations of any Class shall automatically be treated as Obligations of such Class (to the same extent as the Refinanced Obligations), (b) the Liens securing such Refinancing of Obligations of any Class shall be treated as Senior Liens (to the same extent as the corresponding Liens securing the Refinanced Obligations) for all purposes of this Agreement, including for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein, and (c) the collateral agent for such Refinancing of Obligations of any Class (the “New Agent”) shall be the Agent of such Class (and, where applicable, the Senior Agent) for all purposes of this Agreement (to the same extent as the Agent for the Refinanced Obligations). Upon receipt of a notice (the “Notice of New Obligations”) stating that any Grantor has Refinanced any Obligations of any Class as provided above (which notice shall include the identity of the New Agent), the original Agents shall promptly enter into such documents and agreements (including Amendments to this Agreement) as the Company or such New Agent shall reasonably request in order to provide to such New Agent the rights contemplated hereby, in each case consistent in all material respects with the terms of this Agreement. The New Agent shall agree in a writing addressed to the remaining original Agent, for the benefit of its Related Secured Parties, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section are intended to ensure that (i) the Liens on any Collateral securing any Refinancing of any Obligations of any Class will have the same priorities relative to the Liens on such Collateral securing Obligations of the other Class as the Liens that secured such Refinanced Obligations prior to such Refinancing and (ii) the parties benefited by the Liens on any Collateral securing any Refinancing of any Obligations of any Class will have the same rights and obligations relative to the parties holding Liens on such Collateral securing Obligations of the other Class as the parties that were benefited by the Liens that secured such Refinanced Obligations, and such provisions shall be construed accordingly.

SECTION 5.06. Obligations Purchase Right. Without prejudice to the enforcement of any remedies of any Secured Party, whether under the Credit Documents or otherwise, the Agent of each Class, on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees

 

26


that, in the event a Purchase Event shall have occurred with respect to Obligations of such Class (the “Subject Obligations”), the Secured Parties of the other Class (or any of them) may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Company and the Agent of such first Class, require the Secured Parties holding the Subject Obligations (the “Subject Secured Parties”) to assign and delegate to the Secured Parties of such other Class, without warranty or representation or recourse, all (but not less than all) of the Subject Obligations (including all, but not less than all, unfunded commitments under the applicable Credit Documents, if any, that are in effect); provided that (i) such assignment and delegation shall not conflict with any applicable law, and (ii) the Secured Parties of such other Class shall have paid to the Agent of such first Class, for the account of the Subject Secured Parties, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to 100% of the principal of all Indebtedness included in such Subject Obligations plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus all accrued and unpaid fees and all the other Subject Obligations then outstanding (which shall include, with respect to (A) the aggregate face amount of the letters of credit, cash collateral in an amount equal to 105% thereof, (B) any Swap Obligations, 100% of the aggregate amount of such Swap Obligations (giving effect to any netting arrangements) that the Company or a Subsidiary would be required to pay if the relevant Swap Agreements giving rise to such Swap Obligations were terminated at such time, and (C) the Banking Services Obligations, 100% of the aggregate amount of the Banking Services Obligations (giving effect to any netting arrangements) that the Company or Subsidiary would be required to pay if the Banking Services giving rise to the Banking Services Obligations were terminated at such time). In order to effectuate the foregoing, the Agent of such first Class shall calculate, upon the written request of the Agent of such other Class from time to time, the amount in cash (and, with respect to clause (A) above, cash collateral) that would be necessary so to purchase the Subject Obligations. Following exercise of any such purchase right by the Secured Parties of any Class in accordance with the terms of this Section, the Secured Parties shall cooperate in consummating promptly thereafter such assignment and delegation using the applicable assignment forms set forth in the Credit Documents of the applicable Class.

SECTION 5.07. Sharing of Information; Rights of Access and Use. (a) Subject to confidentiality limitations imposed by law, contract or otherwise, each Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, that if any of them obtains actual possession of any books and records of any Grantor (whether such books and records are in the form of a writing or stored in electronic form), then, upon request of the Agent of the other Class and reasonable prior notice, such Agent or such Related Secured Party in possession thereof will permit the requesting Agent, or its designated representatives and agents, to examine such books and records if and to the extent the requesting Agent delivers to such Agent or such Related Secured Party a certificate of its duly authorized officer to the effect that (i) such books and records contain, or are reasonably expected to contain, information that, in the good faith opinion of the requesting Agent, is necessary or useful to the exercise of rights and remedies with respect to the Senior Liens of the requesting Agent and (ii) the requesting Agent is entitled to receive and use such information as against the applicable Grantor or its suppliers, customers and contracts and under applicable law, and, in doing so, will comply, and will cause its Affiliates to comply, with all obligations imposed by law, contract or otherwise in respect of the disclosure or use of such information.

 

27


(b) The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, agrees that if the ABL Agent takes any enforcement action with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent and the other Term Secured Parties (i) shall cooperate with the ABL Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties and subject to the condition that the Term Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that, in the judgment of the Term Agent, could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability, loss or damage to the Term Agent or the other Term Secured Parties) in its efforts to enforce its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral and to assemble and sell the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) shall not take any action designed or intended to hinder or restrict in any respect the ABL Agent from enforcing its security interest in the ABL Priority Collateral or selling or assembling the ABL Priority Collateral and (iii) in the event that the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party shall acquire control or possession of any of the Term Priority Collateral, shall permit the ABL Agent, or its designated representatives or agents, upon reasonable advance notice, to use the Term Priority Collateral (including (x) equipment, processors, computers and other machinery related to the storage or processing of records, documents or files and (y) Intellectual Property), for a period not to exceed 120 days, for purposes of (A) assembling the ABL Priority Collateral, (B) selling (by public auction, private sale or a “store closing,” “going out of business” or similar sale, whether in bulk, in lots or to customers in the ordinary course of business or otherwise and which sale may include augmented Inventory of the same type sold in the Grantors’ business) any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral (including any ABL Priority Collateral located on any real property constituting Term Priority Collateral) in the ordinary course of business or otherwise, (C) removing any or all of the ABL Priority Collateral located in or on any real property constituting Term Priority Collateral or (D) taking reasonable actions to protect, secure and otherwise enforce the rights of the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties in and to the ABL Priority Collateral; provided that nothing contained in this paragraph shall restrict the rights of the Term Agent or the other Term Secured Parties from selling or otherwise Disposing of any Term Priority Collateral prior to the expiration of such 120-day period if the purchaser, assignee or transferee thereof agrees to be bound by the provisions of this paragraph. If any stay or other order prohibiting the enforcement or exercise of rights or remedies with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such 120-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. The rights of the ABL Agent, and its designated representatives and agents, set forth in clause (iii) above as to the Term Priority Collateral shall be irrevocable and royalty and rent free and shall continue at the ABL Agent’s option for a period of up to 120 days as to any such Term Priority Collateral, beginning upon the earlier of (1) the date that is five days after the date on which the Term Agent has notified the ABL Agent that the Term Agent has acquired possession or control of such Term Priority Collateral and (2) the date the ABL Agent provides the Term Agent with written notice that it intends to exercise its rights under such clause with respect to such Term Priority Collateral.

 

28


(c) During the period of actual use or control by the ABL Agent, or its designated representatives or agents, of any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Secured Parties shall be (i) responsible for the ordinary course third party expenses related thereto, including costs with respect to heat, light, electricity and water with respect to that portion of any premises so used or controlled, or that arise as a result of such use or control, provided that the ABL Secured Parties shall not be obligated to pay any fee to the Term Secured Parties (or any Person claiming by, through or under the Term Secured Parties, including any purchaser of any Term Priority Collateral) or to any Grantor, for or in respect of the use by the ABL Agent, or its designated representatives or agents, of any Term Priority Collateral, and (ii) be obligated to repair at their expense any physical damage to such Term Priority Collateral resulting from such use or control, and to leave such Term Priority Collateral in substantially the same condition as it was at the commencement of such use or control, ordinary wear and tear excepted. In addition, the ABL Agent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Term Agent, and its officers, directors, employees and agents, from any liability, cost, expense, loss or damages, including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket legal fees and expenses, arising from any claim by a third party against the Term Agent to the extent such liability, cost, expense, loss or damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the ABL Agent, or its designated agents or representatives, pursuant to the exercise of its rights of access and use under paragraph (b) of this Section, to the extent not covered by insurance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the ABL Agent or the other ABL Secured Parties have any liability to the Term Agent or the other Term Secured Parties pursuant to this paragraph as a result of the condition of any Term Priority Collateral existing prior to the date of the exercise by the ABL Agent of its rights under paragraph (b) of this Section, and the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties shall have no duty or liability to maintain the Term Priority Collateral in a condition or manner better than that in which it was maintained prior to the use or control thereof by the ABL Agent, or its designated representatives or agents, or for any diminution in the value of the Term Priority Collateral that results solely from ordinary wear and tear resulting from the use or control of the Term Priority Collateral by the ABL Agent, or its designated representatives or agents, in the manner and for the time periods specified under this Section. Without limiting the rights granted under this Section, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, agrees to cooperate with the Term Agent (at the sole cost and expense of the Term Agent and the other Term Secured Parties and subject to the condition that the ABL Secured Parties shall have no obligation or duty to take any action or refrain from taking any action that, in the judgment of the Term Agent, could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any liability, loss or damage to the ABL Agent or the ABL Secured Parties) in connection with any efforts made by the Term Agent to sell the Term Priority Collateral.

(d) Neither the Agent nor any other Secured Party of any Class shall have any responsibility or liability for the acts or omissions of the Agent or any other Secured Party of the other Class made or arising in connection with the use or occupancy by the Agent or any other Secured Party of such other Class of any of the Term Priority Collateral.

 

29


(e) The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, acknowledges and consents to the ABL Agent recording a memorandum of this Agreement (including the access rights set forth in this Agreement), in form reasonably acceptable to the ABL Agent, in the real property records of each county in which any real property constituting Term Priority Collateral is located. Upon the termination of the applicable access period referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section with respect to any such real property, the ABL Agent shall promptly take any actions reasonably requested by the Term Agent to remove such memoranda from the real property records relating to such real property.

SECTION 5.08. Consent to License of Intellectual Property. (a) The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, (i) acknowledges and consents to the grant to the ABL Agent by the Grantors of a limited, nonexclusive royalty-free license pursuant to the ABL Security Agreement (an “Intellectual Property License”) and (ii) agrees that the Term Liens on the Intellectual Property constituting Collateral shall be subject to the Intellectual Property License.

(b) The Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, agrees that if any Term Secured Party becomes the owner of any Intellectual Property as a result of the exercise of rights or remedies by such Term Secured Party with respect to its Senior Lien thereon, then, upon request of the ABL Agent, such Term Secured Party shall promptly provide written confirmation of the grant to the ABL Agent of, and does hereby irrevocably grant to the ABL Agent, a limited, nonexclusive royalty-free license in the form substantially similar to the Intellectual Property License (a “Successor Intellectual Property License”) to use any such Intellectual Property. Any license so granted by any Term Secured Party shall be binding on its successors and assigns (including any purchaser at a foreclosure sale). No Term Secured Party shall make any sale or transfer of any such Intellectual Property unless the purchaser or transferee thereof agrees in writing to provide a Successor Intellectual Property License to the ABL Agent upon request.

SECTION 5.09. Permits and Licenses. The Term Agent agrees that if the ABL Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the Term Agent in order to realize on any ABL Priority Collateral, the Term Agent shall take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law, and as shall be reasonably requested by the ABL Agent to make such rights available to the ABL Agent, subject to the Term Liens. The ABL Agent agrees that if the Term Agent shall require rights available under any permit or license controlled by the ABL Agent in order to realize on any Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Agent shall take all such actions as shall be available to it (at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors), consistent with applicable law, and as shall be reasonably requested by the Term Agent to make such rights available to the Term Agent, subject to the ABL Liens.

ARTICLE VI

Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings

SECTION 6.01. Cash Collateral and DIP Financing. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, if any Grantor shall be subject to any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and the ABL Agent shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code) that constitutes ABL Priority Collateral (any such use being referred to as “Cash Collateral Usage”) or to permit any Grantor to obtain financing from the ABL Secured Parties, or any of them, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (any such financing being referred to as a “DIP Financing”), then the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, agrees that none of them will raise any objection to such Cash Collateral Usage or such DIP Financing, insofar as its rights with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral are affected. To the extent the ABL Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral are subordinate to or pari passu with any such DIP Financing meeting the foregoing requirements, the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, shall subordinate, and hereby subordinates, to the same extent the Term Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, that neither the Term Agent nor any other Term Secured Party will request adequate protection or any other relief in connection with its rights as a holder of Liens on the ABL Priority Collateral (except as expressly agreed by the ABL Agent or to the extent permitted by Section 6.03(b)).

SECTION 6.02. Relief from the Automatic Stay. Until the Discharge of Senior Obligations with respect to any Collateral has occurred, no Junior Secured Party with respect to such Collateral shall seek, or join or otherwise support any other Person in seeking, relief from or modification of the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of such Collateral without the prior written consent of the Senior Agent with respect to such Collateral. No Junior Secured Party shall oppose, or join or otherwise support any other Person opposing, any motion of any Senior Secured Party seeking relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of such Senior Secured Party’s Senior Priority Collateral.

SECTION 6.03. Adequate Protection. (a) Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest, or join or otherwise support any other Person contesting, (i) any request by the Agent or any other Secured Party of the other Class for adequate protection with respect to its Senior Liens on any Collateral or (ii) any objection by the Agent or any other Secured Party of the other Class to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Agent or such other Secured Party of the other Class claiming a lack of adequate protection with respect to its Senior Liens on any Collateral.

 

31


(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this Section, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding:

(i) if the Agent or any other Secured Party of any Class is granted adequate protection in the form of an additional Lien on Collateral of a type that would constitute Senior Priority Collateral of the Agent and other Secured Parties of such Class, then (A) the Agent of the other Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such Collateral, which Lien will be junior and subordinate to the Liens securing the Senior Obligations (and, in the case of any such Lien on additional collateral that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral, to any Cash Collateral Usage and/or DIP Financing (and all obligations related thereto) permitted by the ABL Credit Agreement) on the same basis as the other Liens on Collateral securing the Junior Obligations are so junior and subordinate to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement and (B) subject to clause (ii) below, the Agent of such first Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall contest, or join or otherwise support any other Person contesting, (1) any request by the Agent of such other Class, for itself or on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, for adequate protection pursuant to the preceding clause (A) or (2) any motion, relief, action or proceeding in support of a request for adequate protection pursuant to the preceding clause (A); and

(ii) if any Agent or any other Secured Party of any Class is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral of a type that would constitute Junior Priority Collateral of the Agent and other Secured Parties of such Class, then the Agent of such Class, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that the Agent of the other Class shall be entitled to be granted adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral as security for the Obligations of such other Class (and, in the case of any additional collateral that would constitute ABL Priority Collateral, for any DIP Financing (and all obligations related thereto) provided by the ABL Secured Parties) and that any Lien on such additional collateral securing the Junior Obligations shall be junior and subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing the Senior Obligations (and any such DIP Financing and related obligations) and to any other Liens granted to the Senior Secured Parties as adequate protection on the same basis as the other Liens on Collateral securing the Junior Obligations are so junior and subordinate to the Liens on such Collateral securing the Senior Obligations under this Agreement; provided that, to the extent the Agent of such other Class is not granted such adequate protection in the applicable form, any such additional collateral and any amounts recovered by or distributed to the Agent or any other Secured Party of such first Class pursuant to or as a result of any Lien on such additional collateral granted to or for the benefit of the Agent or any Secured Party of such first Class shall be subject to Section 4.02.

(c) Except as expressly set forth in Sections 6.01 and 6.07 and in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, nothing herein shall limit (i) the rights of the Agent of any Class, or any of its Related Secured Parties, to seek adequate protection with respect to its or their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments or otherwise) or (ii) the right of the Agent of the other Class, or any of its Related Secured Parties, to object to such request for adequate protection.

 

32


SECTION 6.04. No Waiver. Subject to Sections 3.01(c) and 3.01(e), nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the Senior Agent or any other Senior Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by any such Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Party of adequate protection or the asserting by any such Junior Agent or any other Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the applicable Junior Credit Documents or otherwise, in each case to the extent affecting the Senior Agent’s or such Senior Secured Parties’ rights in its Senior Priority Collateral.

SECTION 6.05. Avoidance Issues. If any Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor any amount paid in respect of its Senior Obligations (a “Recovery), then such Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of the applicable Senior Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.

SECTION 6.06. Post-Petition Amounts. (a) The Term Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, that none of them shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of ABL Obligations consisting or alleged to consist of Post-Petition Amounts to the extent of the value of the Senior Priority Collateral of the ABL Agent and the other ABL Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the Term Liens of the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party on such Collateral.

(b) The ABL Agent agrees, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, that none of them shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by the Term Agent or any other Term Secured Party for allowance in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding of Term Obligations consisting or alleged to consist of Post-Petition Amounts to the extent of the value of the Senior Priority Collateral of the Term Agent and the other Term Secured Parties, without regard to the existence of the ABL Liens of the ABL Agent or any other ABL Secured Party on such Collateral.

SECTION 6.07. Asset Dispositions. Each Junior Agent, on behalf of itself and its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them will, in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, oppose or object to, or join or otherwise support any other Person in opposing or objecting to, any Disposition of any Senior Priority Collateral of any Grantor that is supported by the Senior Agent (and will not so oppose or object to any related bidding procedures and other related matters supported by the Senior Agent), and each Junior Agent and its Related Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented

 

33


under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any comparable provisions of any other Bankruptcy Law) to any such Disposition of Senior Priority Collateral (and any such related bidding procedures and other related matters) supported by the Senior Agent.

SECTION 6.08. Waiver. (a) Until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them (i) will assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) senior to or on a parity with the ABL Liens on any ABL Priority Collateral for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any ABL Collateral and (ii) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any ABL Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral.

(b) Until the Discharge of the Term Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, agrees that none of them (i) will assert or enforce any claim under Section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) senior to or on a parity with the Term Liens on any Term Priority Collateral for costs or expenses of preserving or disposing of any Term Collateral and (ii) waives any claim it may now or hereafter have arising out of the election by any Term Secured Party of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any successor provision) with respect to any Term Priority Collateral.

SECTION 6.09. Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each of the ABL Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other ABL Secured Parties, and the Term Agent, for itself and on behalf of the other Term Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that (a) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Collateral Documents and the Term Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (b) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the ABL Priority Collateral and the Term Priority Collateral, the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (other than any such plan of reorganization that provides for the payment in full and in cash of the aggregate amount of (and accrued interest, fees and expenses under) the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations). To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims as contemplated hereunder), then each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the provisions hereof (including Sections 2.01 and 4.01), all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral, with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Senior Priority Collateral of any Class is sufficient to satisfy the Senior Obligations of such Class, the Senior Secured Parties of such Class shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims constituting the Senior

 

34


Obligations of such Class, all Post-Petition Amounts included in the Senior Obligations of such Class before any distribution is made in respect of the Junior Obligations in respect of such Collateral, with the Junior Secured Parties in respect of such Collateral being required to (and hereby agreeing to) turn over to the Senior Agent in respect of such Collateral amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.

SECTION 6.10. Voting. Each Agent, for itself and on behalf of its Related Secured Parties, acknowledges and agrees that no Agent or other Secured Party shall be required to vote to approve any plan of reorganization with respect to any Grantor for any reason or to agree that any provision of any Credit Document shall survive the effectiveness of a plan of reorganization with respect to any Grantor in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding.

SECTION 6.11. Reorganization Securities. If, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of any reorganized Grantor secured by Liens upon any assets of such reorganized Grantor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization, on account of both the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same assets, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.

All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

The New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, hereby agree as follows:

1. The New Subsidiary hereby acknowledges, agrees and confirms that, by its execution of this Agreement, the New Subsidiary will be deemed to be a Loan Party under the Credit Agreement and a Loan Guarantor for all purposes of the Credit Agreement and shall have all of the obligations of a Loan Party and a Loan Guarantor thereunder, in each case as if it had executed the Credit Agreement. The New Subsidiary hereby ratifies, as of the date hereof, and agrees to be bound by, all of the terms, provisions and conditions contained in the Credit Agreement, including (a) all of the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in Article III of the Credit Agreement, (b) all of the covenants set forth in Articles V and VI of the Credit Agreement and (c) all of the guaranty obligations set forth in Article X of the Credit Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary hereby guarantees, jointly and severally with the other Loan Guarantors, to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the other Lender Parties, as provided in Article X of the Credit Agreement (and subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.10 of the Credit Agreement), the prompt payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof, and agrees that if any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not paid or performed in full when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) the New Subsidiary will, jointly and severally together with the other Loan Guarantors, promptly pay and perform the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

1 

Shall be a Domestic Subsidiary.


2. The New Subsidiary hereby waives acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the guaranty by the New Subsidiary upon the execution of this Agreement by the New Subsidiary.

3. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement shall become effective when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the New Subsidiary shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the New Subsidiary, the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the New Subsidiary may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the New Subsidiary shall be null and void), except as expressly contemplated by the Credit Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

4. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, BUT GIVING EFFECT TO FEDERAL LAWS APPLICABLE TO NATIONAL BANKS.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
