On March 31, 2014, Actavis plc, a public limited company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (the Ultimate Parent), Actavis Capital S.à r.l., a private limited liability company (société à responsabilité limitée), incorporated under the laws of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg (the Borrower), Actavis, Inc., Nevada corporation (Actavis), Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and a syndicate of banks participating as lenders entered into an amendment agreement (the Term Loan Amendment) to amend and restate the Borrowers existing senior unsecured term loan credit facility, dated October 1, 2013, as amended (such facility, prior to its amendment and restatement pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, the Existing Term Loan Agreement). The Existing Term Loan Agreement, as amended by the Term Loan Amendment, is referred to herein as the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement. The Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement became effective in accordance with its terms on March 31, 2014.
Pursuant to the Term Loan Amendment, certain lenders party thereto have committed to provide additional term loans (the Tranche A-2 Term Loans) on the Closing Date (as defined below) to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion. The Tranche A-2 Term Loans will mature on the date which is five years after the Closing Date. The proceeds of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans will be used to fund the Acquisition (as defined below). The date of the consummation of the Ultimate Parents proposed acquisition (the Acquisition) through a series of merger transactions of Forest Laboratories, Inc. pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 17, 2014, by and among Actavis plc, Tango US Holdings Inc., Tango Merger Sub 1 LLC, Tango Merger Sub 2 LLC and Forest Laboratories, Inc. (the Merger Agreement) (attached as Exhibit 2.1 in the Ultimate Parents Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 19, 2014) is referred to herein as the Closing Date.
Interest Rate and Amortization
The Tranche A-2 Term Loans will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to either (i) a base rate plus an applicable margin per annum varying from 0.125% per annum to 0.875% per annum, depending on the Debt Rating (as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement) or (ii) a Eurodollar rate, plus an applicable margin varying from 1.125% per annum to 1.875% per annum, depending on the Debt Rating.
The outstanding principal amount of Tranche A-2 Term Loans is payable in equal quarterly amounts of 2.50% per quarter prior to the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, with the remaining balance payable on the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.
Guarantees
The Tranche A-2 Term Loans will be jointly and severally guaranteed by (a) Warner Chilcott Limited (Intermediate Parent), (b) Actavis and (c) each subsidiary of Ultimate Parent (other than Actavis) that, at the election of Intermediate Parent, guarantees such obligations or is required to guarantee such obligations pursuant to the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement. As of the Closing Date, Intermediate Parent will also guarantee the term loans outstanding under the Existing Term Loan Agreement.
Representations, Covenants and Events of Default
The Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement also contains certain amendments to the representations and warranties, financial reporting covenants and other affirmative and negative covenants, quarterly total leverage maintenance covenant and events of default (the occurrence of which may trigger an acceleration of amounts outstanding under the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement).
Conditions
The funding of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans on the Closing Date is subject to several conditions, including (i) since February 17, 2014, there shall not have occurred a Company Material Adverse Effect under the Merger Agreement, (ii) consummation of the Acquisition, (iii) receipt of customary closing documents and (iv) other customary closing conditions more fully set out in the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement.
The final termination date for the availability of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans is the Outside Date, as defined in the Merger Agreement.
The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of (i) the Term Loan Amendment, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference and (ii) the Second Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, fax or e-mail to the Administrative Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) will specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) whether the Borrowing is a Tranche A-1 Loan or a Tranche A-2 Loan, (iii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which will be a Business Day), and if applicable, the requested Pre-Funding Date, (iv) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (v) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted, and (vi) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan Notice, then the applicable Loans will be made as Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower fails to give timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, such Eurodollar Rate Loan will be continued with an Interest Period of one month. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the applicable Loans, as described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a Borrowing, each Lender will make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agents Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Loan Notice. If the Pre-Funding Date has been specified, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available not later than 9:00 a.m. on the Business Day on which the Administrative Agent receives evidence that the conditions in Section 4.02 are satisfied (or waived).
(c) Following the Second Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower may require that Lenders transfer funds to the Administrative Agent in advance of the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice to hold in reserve pursuant to Section 2.02(d), by specifying, in the relevant Loan Notice, the date (the Pre-Funding Date) upon which Lenders shall deliver such funds to the Administrative Agent to be held in reserve (which requested Pre-Funding Date may be no earlier than three Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice). In the event the Borrower specifies a Pre-Funding Date in a Loan Notice, then such Loan Notice shall be submitted not later than (i) 12:00 noon three Business Days prior to the Pre-Funding Date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, and (ii) 10:00 a.m. on the Pre-Funding Date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans.
(d) If a Pre-Funding Date is specified in a Loan Notice, on the requested Pre-Funding Date, no later than 1:00 p.m., each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Loans requested to be made on the Closing Date, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Administrative Agent designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders and each Lender hereby irrevocably
33
authorizes the Administrative Agent to release such funds (the Pre-Advanced Funds) and use them to fund such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Loans on the Closing Date unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from such Lender prior to 9:00 a.m. on the anticipated Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice that any one or more of the conditions precedent in Section 4.02 has not been satisfied specifying both the conditions precedent that have not been satisfied and its objection thereto. The Pre-Advanced Funds shall be held in reserve by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender, upon the following terms:
(i) The Administrative Agent shall release the Pre-Advanced Funds only as follows: (A) the Administrative Agent shall release the Pre-Advanced Funds of each Lender to fund such Lenders Applicable Percentage of the Loans on the Closing Date, without any further authorization from such Lender, or (B) if for any reason the Closing Date does not occur on or before 11:59 p.m. on the date that is two Business Days after the proposed Closing Date set forth in the Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return to each Lender the portion of the Pre-Advanced Funds delivered by such Lender. In the event any Pre-Advanced Funds remain in reserve at the time of expiration of the Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall return to each Lender the portion of the Pre-Advanced Funds delivered by such Lenders.
(ii) The Administrative Agent shall hold the Pre-Advanced Funds in a non-interest bearing account with Bank of America.
(iii) It is understood and agreed that, except as set forth in Section 2.02(c), the Borrower shall have no right, title or interest in any Pre-Advanced Funds, and shall have no right to give directions to the Administrative Agent with regard to investment, application or release of such funds or otherwise with respect to such funds. Whether or not the Closing Date occurs and whether or not Loans are made on the Closing Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to each Lender an amount (the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount) that is equal to the amount of interest that would have accrued hereunder on its Pre-Advanced Funds (at the rate(s) requested by the Borrower in the Loan Notice) if such Pre-Advanced Funds had been used to fund Loans on the Pre-Funding Date (or, if later, the date such funds were delivered to the Administrative Agent to be placed in reserve) and as if such Loans were outstanding for the period of time that such Pre-Advanced Funds remain in reserve. To the extent that a Lenders Pre-Advanced Funds are used to fund its Applicable Percentage of Loans made on the Closing Date (x) such Loans shall be deemed to have been made by such Lender on the date that such Lender funded its Pre-Advanced Funds and having an Interest Period, if applicable, commencing on the Closing Date and (y) the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender on the first Interest Payment Date following the Closing Date (it being understood that the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount shall be without duplication of interest paid on the Loans). To the extent that all or any part of a Lenders Pre-Advanced Funds are returned to such Lender for any reason and are not used to fund Loans, the Pre-Funding Compensation Amount shall be due and payable by the Borrower to such Lender within one Business Day after demand, together with any amount payable pursuant to Section 3.05.
34
(e) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of an Event of Default, no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Loans without the consent of the Required Lenders.
(f) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent will notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change.
(g) After giving effect to all Borrowings, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there will not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to Loans.
2.03 [Reserved].
2.04 [Reserved].
2.05 [Reserved].
2.06 Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice from it to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay at the Borrowers option either Tranche A-1 Loans or Tranche A-2 Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (ii) any prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans will be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice will specify the date and amount of such prepayment, whether the Loans to be prepaid are Tranche A-1 Loans or Tranche A-2 Loans and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lenders Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, it will make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice will be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan will be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each such prepayment will be applied to the applicable Loans of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages and to the installments thereof as directed by the Borrower, or, in the absence of such direction, in direct order of maturity. Subject to Section 3.05, prior to such prepayment, the Borrower may rescind any notice of termination under this Section 2.06 if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing of all or a portion of the Loans, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.
35
2.07 Termination or Reduction of Tranche A-2 Commitments. Ultimate Parent may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent prior to the Closing Date, permanently reduce (in whole or in part) at Ultimate Parents option, the Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice will be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, and (ii) any such partial reduction will be in an aggregate amount of $10,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Tranche A-2 Lenders of any such notice of termination or reduction. Any such reduction will be applied to the Tranche A-2 Commitments of each Tranche A-2 Lender according to its Tranche A-2 Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued until the date of any such termination will be paid on the date of such termination. The Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitments shall terminate automatically on the earliest of (a) the Outside Date and (b) the termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms.
2.08 Repayment of Loans. (a) The Borrower will repay to each Tranche A-1 Lender in equal consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on the end of the first quarter following the Original Closing Date and on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March thereafter, an amount equal to 2.50% of the stated principal amount of the Tranche A-1 Loans funded by such Lender on the Original Closing Date (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.06 of the Original Credit Agreement, the Existing Credit Agreement or this Agreement), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the applicable Maturity Date; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Tranche A-1 Loans shall be repaid on the applicable Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A-1 Loans outstanding on such date.
(b) The Borrower will repay to each Tranche A-2 Lender in equal consecutive quarterly installments, commencing on the end of the first quarter following the Closing Date and on the last Business Day of each June, September, December and March thereafter, an amount equal to 2.50% of the stated principal amount of the Tranche A-2 Loans funded by such Lender on the Closing Date (which amounts shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with Section 2.06), with the remaining balance thereof payable on the applicable Maturity Date; provided, however, that the final principal repayment installment of the Tranche A-2 Loans shall be repaid on the applicable Maturity Date and in any event shall be in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of all Tranche A-2 Loans outstanding on such date.
2.09 Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; and (ii) each Base Rate Loan will bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.
(b) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws, payable on demand.
36
(c) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.
(d) Interest on each Loan will be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder will be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.10 Fees. (a) The Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Tranche A-2 Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) in accordance with its Tranche A-2 Applicable Percentage, ticking fees (the Ticking Fees) in US Dollars equal to 0.175% times the actual daily amount of undrawn Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitment of such Tranche A-2 Lender. The Ticking Fee shall accrue from the Second Restatement Effective Date until the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the termination of the Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitments and shall be due and payable in arrears on the earlier of (x) the Closing Date and (y) the date of termination of the Aggregate Tranche A-2 Commitments.
(b) The Borrower will pay or cause to be paid to the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent for their own respective accounts, in US Dollars, fees in the amounts and at the times specified in the Fee Letters. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
(c) The Borrower will pay to the Lenders, in US Dollars, such fees as will have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees will be fully earned when paid and will not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.
2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans will be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest will be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest will accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and will not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made will, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder will be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.12 Evidence of Debt. The Loans made by each Lender will be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender will be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so will not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower
37
hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. The Administrative Agent will provide to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, upon their request, a statement of Loans, payments and other transactions pursuant to this Agreement. Such statement will be deemed correct, accurate, and binding on the Borrower (except for corrections and errors discovered by the Administrative Agent), unless the Borrower or Ultimate Parent notifies the Administrative Agent in writing to the contrary within thirty (30) days after such statement is rendered. In the event a timely written notice of objections is given by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, only the items to which exception is expressly made will be considered to be disputed by the Borrower. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent will control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which will evidence such Lenders Loans to the Borrower in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to a Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
2.13 Payments Generally. (a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower will be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder will be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agents Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender (which is not a Defaulting Lender) its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lenders Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. will be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee will continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower will come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment will be made on the next following Business Day, except (i) as otherwise set forth in the definition of Interest Period, or (ii) that no payment will extend past the applicable Maturity Date, and such extension of time will be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. (i) Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the 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 Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in Same Day Funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of
38
a payment to be made by such Lender, the Overnight Rate, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender will pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent will promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid will constitute such Lenders Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower will be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that will have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments by the Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent will have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender in Same Day Funds 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 Overnight Rate.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) will be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Tranche A-2 Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Borrowing set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent will return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder will not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender will be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein will be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.
39
2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender will, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it, resulting in such Lenders receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Loans and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion will (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as will be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments will be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations will be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section will not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant.
For purposes of this Section 2.14, any calculation of pro rata shares of Loans will be determined on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of all Loans then outstanding.
Each Loan Party 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 Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.
2.15 [Reserved].
2.16 [Reserved].
2.17 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lenders right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that
40
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Ultimate Parent may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and Ultimate Parent, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 of the Original Credit Agreement (in the case of the Tranche A-1 Loans) and Section 4.02 of this Agreement (in the case of the Tranche A-2 Loans) were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.17(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any Ticking Fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) (and the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay any Ticking Fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender (nor shall any Ticking Fee that otherwise would have accrued with respect to that Defaulting Lender accrue)) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(iv) No Default. Operation of the allocations provided in clause (ii) above shall not be deemed to result in a default of the Borrowers or any other Loan Partys obligations to a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date such confirmation is so received or the effective date specified in such notice (and subject to any conditions set forth therein), as applicable, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages, together with
41
any payments reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent to be necessary to compensate the non-Defaulting Lenders for any loss, cost or expense of the type described in Section 3.05 (all of which purchases are hereby consented to by Ultimate Parent and each Lender) whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Ultimate Parent or the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III.
TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.
(i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require any Withholding Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by such Withholding Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.
(ii) If any Withholding Agent shall be required by applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the Withholding Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Withholding Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Loan Parties. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Loan Parties shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, except for Other Taxes resulting from an assignment by any Lender pursuant to Section 11.06(b), which assignment is not at the request of Ultimate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting or duplication of the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Loan Party shall, and does hereby, indemnify the
42
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 3.01) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent agrees to give written notice to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the assertion of any claim against such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, relating to such Indemnified Taxes no later than 180 days after the principal officer of such party responsible for administering this Agreement obtains knowledge thereof. Each Loan Party shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this subsection after the Administrative Agent has exercised such remedies provided in clause (ii) of this subsection as the Administrative Agent in its good faith discretion determines to be appropriate. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent 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. The indemnities provided by the Ultimate Parent under this sub-section (c) shall be limited to, and only provided in respect of (A) Indemnified Taxes attributable to payments made by, or on account of, any obligation of any Loan Party in respect of or relating to Tranche A-1 Loans and (B) where the amounts which a Lender for any reason fails to pay to the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (ii) of this sub-section are attributable or related to Tranche A-1 Loans. No indemnity shall be provided by the Ultimate Parent under, in connection with or in respect of, Tranche A-2 Loans or payments or non-payments in respect thereof.
(ii) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 20 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent (on its own behalf or on behalf of such Lender) to set off and apply any and all amounts (including interest and fees) at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Loan Parties or by
43
the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower or Ultimate Parent shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower or Ultimate Parent, as the case may be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and to the Administrative Agent (if applicable), if reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent in writing, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made by the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) the entitlement of such Lender or the Administrative Agent to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Person by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Persons status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdictions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.01(e), the completion, execution and submission of the documentation referred to in this Section 3.01(e) (other than such documentation set forth in Section 3.01(g) and (h)) shall not be required if in such Lenders reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent (if applicable) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Person, and as may be reasonably necessary (including, in the case of any Lender, the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that any Loan Party or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Person.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion reasonably exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund (including, for this purpose, a credit in lieu of a refund) of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall pay to such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Loan Party under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that such Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to
44
such Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan Parties or any other Person.
(g) Additional Withholding Documentation. If a payment made to a Lender under this Agreement may be subject to United States federal withholding tax under FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent, such documentation prescribed by applicable Law and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower, Ultimate Parent or the Administrative Agent to comply with its withholding obligations, to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lenders obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this subsection (g), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Second Restatement Effective Date.
(h) Any Lender that is a United States person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall, on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the expiration, obsolescence or invalidity of any form, documentation or information previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01(h)) deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two properly completed and executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent as will establish its exemption from backup withholding.
(i) Defined Terms. For purposes of this Section 3.01, the term applicable Law includes FATCA.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurodollar Rate Loans in US Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, US Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Ultimate Parent that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower will, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
45
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all such Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower will also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Tranche A-1 Lenders or the Required Tranche A-2 Lenders, as applicable, determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) US Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower, Ultimate Parent and each applicable Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans will be suspended and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs; Additional Reserve Requirements.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law will: (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 reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e));
(ii) subject any Lender to any Tax with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender;
46
and the result of any of the foregoing will be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lenders holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of such Lenders holding company as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for any such reduction suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower and Ultimate Parent will be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower will pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section will not constitute a waiver of such Lenders right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower will not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than three months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower and Ultimate Parent of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the three-month period referred to above will be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required by a central banking or financial regulatory authority with regulatory authority over such Lender to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurodollar funds or deposits (currently known as Eurocurrency liabilities), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocable to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurodollar Rate Loans,
47
such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, that the Borrower and Ultimate Parent shall have received at least 10 days prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender with a reasonably detailed explanation of the regulatory requirements imposing such costs and a calculation of the allocation of such costs to the relevant Loan or Commitment. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 10 days from receipt of a proper notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any reserves described in this clause (e) are based upon the financial strength or creditworthiness of a Lender, for the purposes of calculating the actual costs of a Lender with respect to such reserves, each such Lender shall be deemed to be in the highest applicable category of financial strength or creditworthiness.
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower will promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower;
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent pursuant to Section 11.13; or
(d) with respect to amounts due pursuant to subsection (a) or (b) of this Section as a result of any Change in Law relating to the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act or Basel III, the claim for additional amounts shall be generally consistent with such Lenders treatment of customers of such Lender that such Lender considers, in its reasonable discretion, to be similarly situated as the Borrower and having generally similar provisions in their credit agreements with such Lender.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section 3.05, each Lender will be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender
48
or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender will use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Loan Parties hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender (but in the case of the Ultimate Parent, a Tranche A-1 Lender only) in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Loan Parties are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by the Borrower or Ultimate Parent that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders or (v) any Lender is a Protesting Lender, then the Borrower or Ultimate Parent may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13. Each Lender hereby grants to Ultimate Parent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender, as assignor, any Assignment and Assumption necessary to effectuate any assignment in full of such Lenders interests hereunder (including, subject to Section 2.17(a)(iii), the payment of accrued Ticking Fees) solely in the event that such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender prior to the Closing Date. Ultimate Parent shall notify the Administrative Agent in advance of any exercise of the power of attorney referenced in the preceding sentence.
3.07 Survival. All of the Loan Parties obligations under this Article III will survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.
ARTICLE IV.

It is understood and agreed that (1)(A) no increase in consideration shall be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Tranche A-2 Lenders so long as such increase is not funded with the proceeds of (x) any equity issuance of Ultimate Parent or (y) Indebtedness that would cause the Consolidated Leverage Ratio on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the Transactions, to exceed 4.25:1.00 and (B) a decrease in the Cash Election Consideration (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of 20% or less shall not be deemed to be materially adverse to the interests of the Tranche A-2 Lenders and (2) any amendment to the definition of Company Material Adverse Effect shall be deemed materially adverse to the interests of the Tranche A-2 Lenders.

ARTICLE V.

53
5.09 Environmental Compliance. Ultimate Parent and its Subsidiaries conduct in the ordinary course of business a review of the effect of existing Environmental Laws and claims alleging potential liability or responsibility for violation of any Environmental Law on their respective businesses, operations and properties, and as a result thereof Ultimate Parent has reasonably concluded that such Environmental Laws and claims would not, except as specifically disclosed in Actavis SEC Documents, WC SEC Documents or Forest SEC Documents filed or furnished on or before the Second Restatement Effective Date, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(a) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Loan Parties; and
68
(b) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under Debtor Relief Laws, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Tranche A-1 Loans (and, from and after the Closing Date, Tranche A-2 Loans) and all interest and other amounts as aforesaid will automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

ARTICLE IX.
GUARANTEE
9.01 Guarantee of Guaranteed Obligations. (a) Each of the Tranche A-1 Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and each other Tranche A-1 Guarantor, when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations. Each Tranche A-1 Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in this Section 9.01(a), without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding amount of the Tranche A-1 Loans or other Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations and other future increases in the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Tranche A-1 Guarantors liability shall extend to all Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, interest, fees, costs and expenses) that would be owed by any other obligor on the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law involving such other obligor because it is the intention of the Tranche A-1 Guarantors and the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Parties that the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Tranche A-1 Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower or any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor of any portion of such Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations.
(b) On and after the Closing Date, each of the Tranche A-2 Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors, indorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower and each other Tranche A-2 Guarantor, when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations. Each Tranche A-2 Guarantor shall be liable under its guarantee set forth in this Section 9.01(b), without any limitation as to amount, for all present and future Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations, including specifically all future increases in the outstanding amount of the Tranche A-2 Loans or other Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations and other future increases in the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not any such increase is committed, contemplated or provided for by the Loan Documents on the date hereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Tranche A-2 Guarantors liability shall extend to all Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations (including, without limitation, interest, fees, costs and expenses) that would be owed by any other obligor on the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law involving such other obligor because it is the intention of the Tranche A-2 Guarantors and the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Parties that the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by the Tranche A-2 Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower or any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor of any portion of such Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations.
70
9.02 Limitation on Obligations Guaranteed. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the right of recovery against each Guarantor under this Article IX shall not exceed $1.00 less than the lowest amount which would render such Guarantors obligations under this Article IX void or voidable under applicable law, including, without limitation, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to the Guaranty set forth herein and the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor in respect of the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance after giving full effect to the liability under the Guaranty set forth in this Article IX and its related contribution rights but before taking into account any liabilities under any other Guarantee by such Guarantor.
(b) Each Guarantor agrees that Obligations may at any time and from time to time be incurred or permitted in an amount exceeding the maximum liability of such Guarantor under Section 9.02(a) without impairing the Guaranty contained in this Article IX or affecting the rights and remedies of any Guaranteed Party hereunder.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article IX, the indemnities guarantees, obligations, liabilities and undertakings under this Article IX or elsewhere in this Agreement of the Ultimate Parent and any other Guarantor incorporated in Ireland shall be deemed not to be undertaken or incurred to the extent that the same would (but for this Section 9.02(c)):
(i) constitute unlawful financial assistance prohibited by Section 60 of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland; or
(ii) constitute a breach of Section 31 of the Companies Act 1990 of Ireland.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that such indemnities, guarantees, obligations, liabilities or undertakings have been validated under Section 60 (2) to (11) of the Companies Act 1963 of Ireland they shall not constitute unlawful financial assistance under the said Section 60.
9.03 Nature of Guarantee; Continuing Guarantee; Waivers of Defenses
(a) Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall be construed as a continuing guarantee of payment and performance and not merely of collectability. Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, marshaling, demand for payment, notice of dishonor, notice of default and notice of nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the other Guarantors with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Guaranty and the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment, set-off, defense, counterclaim, discharge or termination for any reason (other than a Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations).
(b) Each Tranche A-1 Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Tranche A-1 Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations of
71
each other Tranche A-1 Guarantor and of any other guarantee of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Tranche A-1 Guarantor, any Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower and any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor or any other Person or against any other guarantee for the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower and any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower and any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Tranche A-1 Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party against any Tranche A-1 Guarantor. For the purposes hereof demand shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(c) Each Tranche A-2 Guarantor agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Tranche A-2 Guarantor hereunder are independent of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations of each other Tranche A-2 Guarantor and of any other guarantee of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations and when making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Tranche A-2 Guarantor, any Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Party may, but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower and any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor or any other Person or against any other guarantee for the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by any Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Party to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower and any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor or any other Person or to realize upon any such guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower and any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor or any other Person or any such guarantee or right of offset, shall not relieve any Tranche A-2 Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of any Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Party against any Tranche A-2 Guarantor. For the purposes hereof demand shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings.
(d) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by any Guaranteed Party from the Borrower and any of the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment remain liable for the applicable Guaranteed Obligations until the applicable Discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor agrees that its obligations under and in respect of the Guaranty contained in this Article IX shall not be affected by, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and hereby waives all, rights, claims or defenses that it might otherwise have (now or in the future) with respect to each of the following (whether or not such Guarantor has knowledge thereof):
(i) the validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Second Amendment Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Guaranteed Party;
72
(ii) any renewal, extension or acceleration of, or any increase in the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of, or any consent to departure from, the Loan Documents;
(iii) any failure or omission to assert or enforce or agreement or election not to assert or enforce, delay in enforcement, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy (whether arising under any Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any other guaranty of or security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iv) any change, reorganization or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any corresponding restructuring of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(v) any settlement, compromise, release, or discharge of, or acceptance or refusal of any offer of payment or performance with respect to, or any substitutions for, the Guaranteed Obligations or any subordination of the Guaranteed Obligations to any other obligations; and
(vi) any other circumstance whatsoever which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations or which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of such Guarantor under this Article IX.
(f) In addition each Guarantor further waives any and all other defenses, set-offs or counterclaims (other than a defense of payment or performance in full hereunder) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by it, the Borrower or any other Guarantor or Person against any Guaranteed Party, including, without limitation, failure of consideration, breach of warranty, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury.
9.04 Rights of Reimbursement, Contribution and Subrogation. In case any payment is made on account of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Guarantor or is received or collected on account of the Guaranteed Obligations from any Guarantor:
(a) If such payment is made by a Tranche A-1 Guarantor in respect of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations of another Tranche A-1 Guarantor, such Tranche A-1 Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed
73
Obligations (and each Tranche A-1 Guarantor hereby waives its right to exercise such rights until a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations), (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Tranche A-1 Guarantor, and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Tranche A-1 Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Tranche A-1 Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Tranche A-1 Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Tranche A-1 Guarantors (other than the Tranche A-1 Guarantor whose primary obligations were so guaranteed by the other Tranche A-1 Guarantors) based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.
(b) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Tranche A-1 Guarantor against any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor whether under Section 9.04(a) or otherwise, such Tranche A-1 Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations (and each Tranche A-1 Guarantor hereby waives its right to subrogation until a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Tranche A-1 Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.04) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations. Any right of subrogation of any Tranche A-1 Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Tranche A-1 Guarantors, and not against the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Tranche A-1 Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Tranche A-1 Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Tranche A-1 Guarantors or of the Tranche A-1 Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations that may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Administrative Agent.
(c) If such payment is made by a Tranche A-2 Guarantor in respect of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations of another Tranche A-2 Guarantor, such Tranche A-2 Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations (and each Tranche A-2 Guarantor hereby waives its right to exercise such rights until a Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations), (A) to demand and enforce reimbursement for the full amount of such payment from such other Tranche A-2 Guarantor, and (B) to demand and enforce contribution in respect of such payment from each other Tranche A-2 Guarantor which has not paid its fair share of such payment, as necessary to ensure that (after giving effect to any enforcement of reimbursement rights provided hereby) each Tranche A-2
74
Guarantor pays its fair share of the unreimbursed portion of such payment. For this purpose, the fair share of each Tranche A-2 Guarantor as to any unreimbursed payment shall be determined based on an equitable apportionment of such unreimbursed payment among all Tranche A-2 Guarantors (other than the Tranche A-2 Guarantor whose primary obligations were so guaranteed by the other Tranche A-2 Guarantors) based on the relative value of their assets and any other equitable considerations deemed appropriate by the court.
(d) If and whenever any right of reimbursement or contribution becomes enforceable by any Tranche A-2 Guarantor against any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor whether under Section 9.04(c) or otherwise, such Tranche A-2 Guarantor shall be entitled, subject to and upon (but not before) a Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations (and each Tranche A-2 Guarantor hereby waives its right to subrogation until a Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations), to be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Tranche A-2 Guarantors entitled to reimbursement or contribution from any other Tranche A-2 Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.04) to any security interest that may then be held by the Administrative Agent upon any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations. Any right of subrogation of any Tranche A-2 Guarantor shall be enforceable solely after a Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations and solely against the Tranche A-2 Guarantors, and not against the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Parties, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Party shall have any duty whatsoever to warrant, ensure or protect any such right of subrogation or to obtain, perfect, maintain, hold, enforce or retain any collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations for any purpose related to any such right of subrogation. If subrogation is demanded by any Tranche A-2 Guarantor, then, after Discharge of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Tranche A-2 Guarantors making such demand, or to a representative of such Tranche A-2 Guarantors or of the Tranche A-2 Guarantors generally, an instrument satisfactory to the Administrative Agent transferring, on a quitclaim basis without any recourse, representation, warranty or any other obligation whatsoever, whatever security interest the Administrative Agent then may hold in whatever collateral securing or purporting to secure any of the Tranche A-2 Guaranteed Obligations that may then exist that was not previously released or disposed of or acquired by the Administrative Agent.
(e) The obligations of the Guarantors under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents, including their liability for the Guaranteed Obligations and the enforceability of the security interests granted thereby, are not contingent upon the validity, legality, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of any right of reimbursement, contribution or subrogation arising under this Section 9.04 or otherwise. The invalidity, insufficiency, unenforceability or uncollectability of any such right shall not in any respect diminish, affect or impair any such obligation or any other claim, interest, right or remedy at any time held by any Guaranteed Party against any Guarantor. The Guaranteed Parties make no representations or warranties in respect of any such right and shall have no duty to assure, protect, enforce or ensure any such right or otherwise relating to any such right.
9.05 Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agents Office in US Dollars and in Same Day Funds.
75

Each Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all obligations and Indebtedness of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent owing to such Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor as subrogee of the Guaranteed Parties or resulting from such Guarantors performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. If the Administrative Agent so requests, any such obligation or Indebtedness of Ultimate Parent or Intermediate Parent to such Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Guaranteed Parties and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty.

No Guaranteed Party shall have any obligation to disclose or discuss with any Guarantor its assessment, or any Guarantors assessment, of the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Guarantor.

9.08 Bankruptcy, Etc. (a) Until a Discharge of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations, no Tranche A-1 Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, commence or join with any other Person in commencing any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law against the Borrower or any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Tranche A-1 Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar Person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any interest, fees, costs, expenses or other Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations accruing or arising after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced.

9.10 Reinstatement. (a) If at any time payment of any of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Obligations or any portion thereof is rescinded, disgorged or must otherwise be restored or returned by any Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Tranche A-1 Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any other Tranche A-1 Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or if any Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party repays, restores, or returns, in whole or in part, any payment or property previously paid or transferred to the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party in full or partial satisfaction of any Tranche A- 1 Guaranteed Obligation, because the payment or transfer or the incurrence of the obligation is so satisfied, is declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any state or federal law (collectively, a Voidable Transfer), or because such Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with an assertion that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, and, subject to Section 11.04, as to all reasonable costs, expenses and attorneys fees of the Tranche A-1 Guaranteed Party related thereto, the liability of each Tranche A-1 Guarantor hereunder will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist as though the Voidable Transfer had never been made.

Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

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

78
The Administrative Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as will be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent will believe in good faith will be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 11.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent will be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or a Lender.
The Administrative Agent will not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction (or waiver) of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders will have the right, in consultation with Ultimate Parent and the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which will be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor will have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and will have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent notifies Ultimate Parent and the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation will nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent will instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successors appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor will succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent will be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent will be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agents resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 11.04 will 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 the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Arrangers, the Syndication Agent or the Co-Documentation Agents will have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
80
10.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party is pending, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan will then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent will have made any demand on such Loan Party) will be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent will consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 11.04.
Nothing contained herein will be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
10.10 Guaranty Matters.

The Borrower will indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Arranger, the Syndication Agent, each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each an Indemnitee) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, which shall be limited to one primary counsel, one local counsel in Ireland and Luxembourg and, if necessary, one local counsel in each other appropriate jurisdiction and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one special conflicts counsel to all affected Indemnitees, taken as a whole) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by Ultimate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to Ultimate Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by a Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity will not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnitee (or its respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents), (y) result from a claim brought by a Loan Party against an Indemnitee for a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnitees obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) result from a claim of any Indemnitee solely against one or more Indemnitees (and not by one or more Indemnitees against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any Arranger to the extent acting in their capacity as such and to the extent otherwise entitled to be indemnified hereunder) that have not resulted from the action or inaction of Ultimate Parent or its
86
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions to the contrary, this Section 11.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from a non-Tax claim.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lenders ratable share (based on the percentage of the principal amount of all Loans at such time represented by such Lenders outstanding Loans at such time, and 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, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) 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) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, none of the parties to this Agreement shall assert, and each party hereto hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, 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, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients (excluding any Indemnitee) of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby except to the extent that such damages are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, however, that in no event will any Indemnitee have any liability for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages). The indemnities in this Section 11.04(b) shall not abrogate, modify or diminish the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to keep certain information confidential in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.07.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section will be payable not later than ten Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section will survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
11.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
87
thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied will be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence will survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
11.06 Successors and Assigns. (a) Successors and Assigns Generally. 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, except that Ultimate Parent may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (except in connection with a transaction not prohibited by Section 7.03 in accordance with the terms thereof) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (e) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with
88
respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if a Trade Date is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing, Ultimate Parent otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum amount has been met.
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment so assigned.
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of Ultimate Parent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) or 8.01(f) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that Ultimate Parent shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parents Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B), or (C) to a natural person. No such assignment of Tranche A-2 Commitments shall be made at any time prior to the initial funding of the Tranche A-2 Loans hereunder on the Closing Date to any Person that is not an Eligible Pre-Closing Lender.
89
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and shall, 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 Lenders 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 3.01, 3.04, 3.05 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection 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 subsection (e) of this Section 11.06.
(c) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of Ultimate Parent and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this subsection (c), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(d) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agents Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the Register). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and, solely with respect to the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, any Lender, such Lender, in each case at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
90
(e) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Ultimate Parent, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or Ultimate Parent or any of Ultimate Parents Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Loan Parties, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participants interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the Participant Register); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participants interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under this Agreement) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register. 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.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 11.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (f) of this Section, Ultimate Parent and the Borrower agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 as if it were a Lender. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.
(f) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 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 Ultimate Parents prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Ultimate Parent and the Borrower are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 3.01(e), Section 3.01(g) and Section 3.01(h) as though it were a Lender.
(g) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s), if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
91
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (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 requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it or its Affiliates (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any 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 provisions substantially the same as 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 advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of Ultimate Parent or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties.
For purposes of this Section, Information means all information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary relating to Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary; provided that, in the case of information received from Ultimate Parent or any Subsidiary after the Closing Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section will be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning Ultimate Parent or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States federal and state securities Laws.
Subject to any applicable requirements of United State federal, state or local Laws or regulations, including securities Laws or regulations, neither the Administrative Agent nor any
92
Lender will make or cause to be made, whether orally, in writing or otherwise, any public announcement or statement that is intended for the general public and not targeted primarily to reach audiences in the banking industry and the banking industrys customers with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any of the provisions of this Agreement, without the prior written approval of Ultimate Parent as to the form, content and timing of such announcement or disclosure, which approval may be given or withheld in the Ultimate Parents sole discretion.
11.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default will have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of its obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender (but in the case of the Ultimate Parent, excluding in all cases obligations arising under or in respect of or in connection with Tranche A-2 Loans), irrespective of whether or not such Lender will have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.17 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11.08, if at any time any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrower or any other Loan Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents will not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the Maximum Rate). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender will receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest will be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
93
11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which will constitute an original, but all of which when taken together will constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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. The amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement in the form of this Agreement will become effective upon the satisfaction (or waiver) of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of the Second Amendment Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of any Loan Document by facsimile or other electronic transmission (including pdf or tif) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of such Loan Document.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith will survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default on the Closing Date, and will continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder will remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
11.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction will not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as applicable, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
11.13 Replacement of Lenders. In the event (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, (iv) any Lender refuses to consent to any amendment, waiver or other modification of this Agreement or any other Loan Document requested by a Loan Party that requires the consent of a greater percentage of the Lenders than the Required Lenders and such amendment, waiver or other modification is consented to by the Required Lenders, or (v) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives a Loan Party the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then any Loan Party may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
94
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an assignee that will assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrower will have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in Section 11.06(b);
(b) such Lender will have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender will not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the applicable Loan Party to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.
(a) GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (I) THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DEFINITION OF COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT (AS DEFINED IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT) AND WHETHER OR NOT A COMPANY MATERIAL ADVERSE EFFECT HAS OCCURRED AND (II) THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER THE TRANSACTIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE MERGER AGREEMENT) HAVE BEEN CONSUMMATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED SOLELY IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHER PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW.
