No change in the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans shall be effective until three Business Days after the date on which the Administrative Agent shall have received the applicable financial statements and a Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 5.2(a) calculating the Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio. At any time the Borrower has not submitted to the Administrative Agent the applicable information as and when required under Section 5.2(a), the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans shall be determined as if the Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio were in excess of 4.50:1.00. Within one Business Day of receipt of the applicable information under Section 5.2(a), the Administrative Agent shall give each Lender telefacsimile or telephonic notice (confirmed in writing) of the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans in effect from such date. In the event that the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.2(a) is shown to be inaccurate (at a time when this Agreement is in effect and unpaid Obligations under this Agreement are outstanding (other than indemnities and other contingent obligations not yet due and payable)), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (x) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent a correct certificate required by Section 5.2(a) for such Applicable Period, (y) the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans shall be determined as if the Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio were in excess of 4.50:1.00 and (z) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent the accrued additional interest owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period. Nothing in this paragraph shall limit the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under Section 2.11 or Section 8. The Applicable Margin for any other Class of Loans shall be as set forth in the applicable Extension Amendment, Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Amendment.

Applicable Reserve Requirement”: at any time, for any Eurodollar Rate Loan, the maximum rate, expressed as a decimal, at which reserves (including any basic marginal, special, supplemental, emergency or other reserves) are required to be maintained with respect thereto against “Eurocurrency liabilities” (as such term is defined in Regulation D) under regulations issued from time to time by the Board or other applicable banking regulator. Without limiting the effect of the foregoing, the Applicable Reserve Requirement shall reflect any other reserves required to be maintained by such member banks with respect to (i) any category of liabilities which includes deposits by reference to which the applicable Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or any other interest rate of a Loan is to be determined, or (ii) any category of extensions of credit or other assets which include Eurodollar Rate Loans. A Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be deemed to constitute Eurocurrency liabilities and as such shall be deemed subject to reserve requirements without benefits of credit for proration, exceptions or offsets that may be available from time to time to the applicable Lender. The rate of interest on Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be adjusted automatically on and as of the effective date of any change in the Applicable Reserve Requirement.

Subject to Section 4.2(b), whenever the Borrower desires the issuance or amendment (to either increase the amount available for drawings under any Revolving Facilty Letter of Credit or to extend the maturity date thereof) of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank an Issuance Notice no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least three Business Days, or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Issuing Bank in any particular instance, in advance of the proposed date of issuance. Such Issuance Notice shall be accompanied by any documentary or other evidence of the proposed beneficiary’s identity as may reasonably be requested by the Issuing Bank in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2, the Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Revolving Facility Letter of Credit only in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard operating procedures. Upon the issuance or cancellation of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or amendment or modification to a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall promptly provide written or telephonic notice to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of such issuance, amendment, modification or cancellation of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and the amount of such Lender’s respective participation in such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(e). Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, an Issuing Bank shall be under no obligation to issue, extend or amend any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit if any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator by its terms shall purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to the applicable Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in particular.

(c) Responsibility of the Issuing Bank with Respect to Requests for Drawings and Payments. In determining whether to honor any drawing under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Bank shall be responsible only to accept the documents delivered under such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit which appear on their face to be in accordance with the terms and conditions of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation regardless of any notice or information to the contrary. As between the Borrower and the Issuing Bank, the Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by the Issuing Bank, by the respective beneficiaries of such Revolving Facility Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit to comply fully with any conditions required in order to draw upon such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Bank, including any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority; none of the above shall affect or impair, or prevent the vesting of, any of the Issuing Bank’s rights or powers hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing and in furtherance thereof, any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit or any documents and certificates delivered thereunder, if taken or omitted in good faith, shall not give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuing Bank to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 2.4(c), the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against the Issuing Bank for any liability arising solely out of the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) Reimbursement by the Borrower of Amounts Drawn or Paid Under Revolving Facility Letters of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank has determined to honor a drawing under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, it shall immediately notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank on or before the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars, in the case of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in Dollars, or Canadian Dollars (or at the option of the Issuing Bank or the Borrower, the Dollar Equivalent thereof in Dollars), in the case of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, and in same day funds equal to the amount of such honored drawing. In the case of any such reimbursement in Dollars of a drawing under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower of the Dollar Equivalent of the amount of the drawing promptly following the determination thereof. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the fourth Business Day (or, in the case of a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars, the third Business Day) following the date such drawing is honored that the Borrower intends to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing with funds other than the proceeds of Revolving Loans, (i) the Borrower shall be deemed to have given a timely Funding Notice to the Administrative Agent requesting Lenders with Revolving Commitments to make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans on the Reimbursement Date in an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of such honored drawing, and (ii) subject to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 4.2, Lenders with Revolving Commitments shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans in the amount of such honored drawing, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Bank for the amount of such honored drawing; and provided further, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by the Issuing Bank on the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such honored drawing, the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Bank, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such honored drawing over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. Nothing in this Section 2.4(d) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender with a Revolving Commitment from its obligation to make Revolving Loans on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and the Borrower shall retain any and all rights it may have against any such Lender resulting from the failure of such Lender to make such Revolving Loans under this Section 2.4(d).

(e) Lenders’ Purchase of Participations in Revolving Facility Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance of each Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, each Lender having a Revolving Commitment shall be deemed to have purchased, and hereby agrees to irrevocably purchase (regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 have been satisfied), from the Issuing Bank a participation in such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit and any drawings honored thereunder in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (with respect to the Revolving Commitments) of the maximum amount which is or at any time may become available to be drawn thereunder. In the event that the Borrower shall fail for any reason to reimburse the Issuing Bank as provided in Section 2.4(d), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each Lender with a Revolving Commitment of the Dollar Equivalent of the unreimbursed amount of such honored drawing and of such Lender’s respective participation therein based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Commitments. Each Lender with a Revolving Commitment shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, an amount in Dollars equal to the Dollar Equivalent of its respective participation and in same day funds, not later than 12:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the first Business Day (under the laws of the jurisdiction in which such office of the Issuing Bank is located) after the date notified by the Issuing Bank. In the event that any Lender with a Revolving Commitment fails to make available to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuing Bank, on such Business Day the amount of such Lender’s participation in such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit as provided in this Section 2.4(e), the Issuing Bank shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon for three Business Days at the rate customarily used by the Issuing Bank for the correction of errors among banks and thereafter at the Base Rate. Nothing in this Section 2.4(e) shall be deemed to prejudice the right of any Lender with a Revolving Commitment to recover from the Issuing Bank any amounts made available by such Lender to the Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) in the event that the payment with respect to a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit in respect of which payment was made by such Lender constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by other Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) for all or any portion of any drawing honored by the Issuing Bank under a Revolving Facility Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent, for distribution to each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under this Section 2.4(e) with respect to such honored drawing, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all payments subsequently received by the Issuing Bank from the Borrower in reimbursement of such honored drawing when such payments are received. Any such distribution shall be made to a Lender at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix A or at such other address as such Lender may request.

(f) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings honored under the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit issued by it and to repay any Revolving Loans made by Lenders pursuant to Section 2.4(d) and the obligations of Lenders under Section 2.4(e) shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms hereof under all circumstances including any of the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Lender may have at any time against a beneficiary or any transferee of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Issuing Bank, Lender or any other Person or, in the case of a Lender, against the Borrower, whether in connection herewith, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction (including any underlying transaction between the Borrower or one of its Subsidiaries and the beneficiary for which any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit was procured); (iii) any draft or other document presented under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by the Issuing Bank under any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document which does not substantially comply with the terms of such Revolving Facility Letter of Credit; (v) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of the Loan Documents or Letter of Credit; (vi) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder (other than payment or performance in full); (vii) any adverse change in the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries; (viii) any breach hereof or any other Loan Document by any party thereto; (ix) any adverse change in the relevant exchange rates or in the availability of Canadian Dollars to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or in the market for Canadian Dollars generally; (x) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; or (xi) the fact that an Event of Default or a Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, in each case, that payment by the Issuing Bank under the applicable Revolving Facility Letter of Credit shall not have constituted gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank under the circumstances in question as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) Indemnification.

(h) Additional Issuing Banks. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and such Lender, designate one or more additional Lenders (or Affiliates thereof) to act as an Issuing Bank under the terms of this Agreement (and such designation shall be effective with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit and LC Facility Letters of Credit, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such Lender). From and after the effective date of such designation, any Lender designated as an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 2.4(h) shall have the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement. Any Lender that becomes an Issuing Bank shall not cease to be an Issuing Bank hereunder if it later ceases to be a Lender hereunder.

(i) Resignation and Replacement of Issuing Bank. An Issuing Bank may resign as Issuing Bank upon 30 days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower; provided that such resignation shall be effective only upon the effective date of the replacement of such Issuing Bank with a successor Issuing Bank in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.4(i); provided further that such resignation shall become effective notwithstanding the failure to appoint a successor Issuing Bank if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (and such resignation shall be effective with respect to the Revolving Facility and the LC Facility, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and such Lender). An Issuing Bank may be replaced at any time by written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the replaced Issuing Bank (provided that no consent will be required if the replaced Issuing Bank has no Letters of Credit or reimbursement obligations with respect thereto outstanding) and the successor Issuing Bank. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such replacement of such Issuing Bank. At the time any such replacement or resignation shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the replaced Issuing Bank. From and after the effective date of any such replacement or resignation, (i) any successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the replacement or resignation of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto to the extent that Letters of Credit issued by it remain outstanding and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such replacement or resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

(j) Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, within five Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount; provided that the obligation to so Cash Collateralize the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit will become effective immediately, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 7.1(f).

The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.4(j) in respect of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit shall first be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for unreimbursed drawings in respect of such Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, second be held for the satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, and third if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders holding participations in outstanding Revolving Facility Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding Revolving Facility Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(iii) Termination of Requirement. Without limiting the requirement to Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d), Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.4(j) and such Cash Collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after the date that (i) such Fronting Exposure with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit has been eliminated, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have determined that there exists excess Cash Collateral or (iii) all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

Without duplication of any obligation of the Borrower under Section 9.5, in addition to amounts payable as provided herein, the Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, pay and save harmless the Issuing Bank from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, charges and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel) which the Issuing Bank may incur or be subject to as a consequence, direct or indirect, of (i) the issuance of any LC Facility Letter of Credit by the Issuing Bank, other than as a result of (1) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Issuing Bank as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (2) the wrongful dishonor by the Issuing Bank of a proper demand for payment made under any LC Facility Letter of Credit issued by it, or (ii) the failure of the Issuing Bank to honor a drawing under any such LC Facility Letter of Credit as a result of any act or omission, whether rightful or wrongful, of any present or future de jure or de facto government or Governmental Authority.


62

 

 

(h) Cash Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, within five Business Days following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to the LC Facility Letters of Credit in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount; provided that the obligation to so Cash Collateralize the LC Facility Letters of Credit will become effective immediately, without demand or notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (i) or (ii) of Section 7.1(f).

(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Obligations in respect of the LC Facility Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.5(h) in respect of LC Facility Letters of Credit shall first be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for unreimbursed drawings in respect of such LC Facility Letters of Credit, second, be held for the satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the LC Facility Letters of Credit, and third, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders holding participations in outstanding LC Facility Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding LC Facility Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(iii) Termination of Requirement. Without limiting the requirement to Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d), Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.5(h) and such Cash Collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after the date that (i) such Fronting Exposure with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit has been eliminated, (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have determined that there exists excess Cash Collateral or (iii) all Events of Default have been cured or waived.

2.6 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Loan requested hereunder or purchase a participation required hereby.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all applicable Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (iii) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the Credit Date, at Administrative Agent’s option, such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans for such Class of Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

2.7 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Initial Term Loans and the Revolving Loans, if any, made on the Closing Date shall be applied by the Borrower to fund the uses specified in the recitals hereto. The proceeds of the Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit made after the Closing Date shall be applied by the Borrower for capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, investments and restricted payments, to provide for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, for general corporate purposes and for the issuance of (or to provide credit support for) Letters of Credit. The proceeds of each other Class of Loans made after the Closing Date shall be used for the purposes specified in the applicable Refinancing Amendment or Incremental Amendment.


64

 

 

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

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

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Loans of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments and Loans or (ii) the identity of the other Lenders (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Commitments and Loans except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default)) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided, failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower Obligations in respect of any Loan. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.8.

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an Assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 9.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Note or Notes to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan, Revolving Loan or Swing Line Loan, as the case may be.

2.9 Interest on Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Class of Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) in the case of each Class of Loans other than Swing Line Loans:

(1) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to such Class; or


65

 

 

(2) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin with respect to such Class; and

(ii) in the case of Swing Line Loans, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Loan (except a Swing Line Loan which can be made and maintained as a Base Rate Loan only), and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of such Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Term Loan, the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Loan.


66

 

 

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Loans, including final maturity of the Loans; provided, however, with respect to any voluntary prepayment of a Base Rate Loan, accrued interest shall instead be payable on the applicable Interest Payment Date.

(f) The Borrower agrees to pay to Issuing Bank, with respect to drawings honored under any Letter of Credit, interest on the amount paid by the Issuing Bank in respect of each such honored drawing from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower at a rate equal to, for the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower, (x) in the case of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of LC Facility Letters of Credit, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Initial Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans; provided, however, that upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent at the direction of the Required Lenders, the rate of interest for the period from the applicable Reimbursement Date to but excluding the date such amount is reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower shall be 2% per annum in excess of (x) in the case of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (y) in the case of LC Facility Letters of Credit, the rate of interest otherwise payable hereunder with respect to Term Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

(g) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(f) shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues, and shall be payable on the applicable Reimbursement Date, and thereafter, on demand or, if no demand is made, on the date on which the related drawing under a Letter of Credit is reimbursed in full. Promptly upon receipt by the Issuing Bank of any payment of interest pursuant to Section 2.9(f), the Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, out of the interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of the period from the date such drawing is honored to but excluding the date on which Issuing Bank is reimbursed for the amount of such drawing (including any such reimbursement out of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans), the amount that such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the letter of credit fee that would have been payable in respect of such Letter of Credit for such period if no drawing had been honored under such Letter of Credit. In the event the Issuing Bank shall have been reimbursed by Lenders for all or any portion of such honored drawing, the Issuing Bank shall distribute to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender which has paid all amounts payable by it under Section 2.4(e) or 2.5(e), as applicable, with respect to such honored drawing such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any interest received by the Issuing Bank in respect of that portion of such honored drawing so reimbursed by Lenders for the period from the date on which the Issuing Bank was so reimbursed by Lenders to but excluding the date on which such portion of such honored drawing is reimbursed by the Borrower.


67

 

 

2.10 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.19 and so long as the Administrative Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders, has not delivered a notice to the Borrower after a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing withdrawing such option, the Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Loan of any Class (other than any Swing Line Loan) equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Loan to another Type of Loan; provided, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.19 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Subject to Section 4.2(b), the Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. If on any day a Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

2.11 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(f), the overdue principal amount of all Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Loans or any overdue fees or other amounts owed hereunder shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Loans (or, in the case of any overdue fees or other amounts, at a rate which is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans). Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.11 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.


68

 

 

2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders having Revolving Exposure:

(i) commitment fees equal to (1) the average of the daily difference between (A) the Revolving Commitments and (B) the aggregate principal amount of (x) all outstanding Revolving Loans (for the avoidance of doubt, excluding Swing Line Loans) plus (y) the Revolving Facility Letter of Credit Usage, times (2) 0.375% per annum; and

(ii) such documentary and processing charges for any issuance, amendment, transfer or payment of a Letter of Credit as are in accordance with the Issuing Bank’s standard schedule for such charges and as in effect at the time of such issuance, amendment, transfer or payment, as the case may be.

(d) All fees referred to in Section 2.12(a), 2.12(b) and 2.12(c)(i) shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year during the Revolving Commitment Period or LC Facility Commitment Period, as applicable, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date (with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit) and on the LC Facility Commitment Termination Date (with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit).

(i) The Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which original written notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, (1) the Revolving Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the Revolving Commitments exceed the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments at the time of such proposed termination or reduction or (2) the LC Facility Commitments in an amount up to the amount by which the LC Facility Commitments exceed the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage at the time of such proposed termination or reduction; provided, any such partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the LC Facility Commitments shall in each case be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.


72

 

 

(ii) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the LC Facility Commitments, as applicable, shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Revolving Commitment or LC Facility Commitment, as applicable, of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof; provided that a notice of termination or partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments or the LC Facility Commitments may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets or the closing of a merger or acquisition transaction, in which case such notice of termination or partial reduction may be revoked or exteneded by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall not, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, reduce, terminate or amend the LC Facility Commitments in whole or in part pursuant to a Repricing Transaction unless such Repricing Transaction is consummated concurrently with a Repricing Transaction in respect of the Initial Term Loans and otherwise complies with clause (c) of this Section 2.14.

(c) Repricing Transaction. In the event that, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans or LC Facility Commitments (i) are voluntarily prepaid or terminated or mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.15(c)(i) substantially concurrently with the incurrence of any long term Indebtedness or commitments in respect of any long term Indebtedness having a Weighted Average Yield that is less than the Weighted Average Yield of the Initial Term Loans (or portion thereof) or LC Facility Commitments (or portion thereof) so prepaid or terminated (other than any long term Indebtedness incurred in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a Change of Control) or (ii) repriced or effectively refinanced through any waiver, consent or amendment to this Agreement the result of which would be the lowering of the Weighted Average Yield of the Initial Term Loans or LC Facility Commitments (or portion thereof) so repriced or refinanced (other than any lowering in connection with any transaction that would, if consummated, constitute a “Change of Control”) (a “Repricing Transaction”), such prepayment, repricing, termination or refinancing will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans and LC Facility Commitments so prepaid, repriced, terminated or refinanced. If all or any portion of the Initial Term Loans or LC Facility Commitments held by any Lender are prepaid or terminated, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.24 as a result of, or in connection with, such Lender not agreeing or otherwise consenting to any waiver, consent or amendment referred to in clause (ii) above (or otherwise in connection with a Repricing Transaction), such prepayment will be made at 101.0% of the principal amount of the Initial Term Loans so prepaid or LC Facility Commitments so terminated, as applicable. It is expressly agreed that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no premium, penalty or call protection under this Section 2.14(c) shall be due in connection with a mandatory prepayment of the Loans of any Class required pursuant to Section 2.15 other than a mandatory prepayment required pursuant to Section 2.15(c)(i) as described above.

75

 

 

(e) Revolving Loans, Swing Line Loans and Letters of Credit.

(i) Subject to clause (ii) below, the Borrower shall from time to time (x) prepay first, the Swing Line Loans, and second, the Revolving Loans and/or (y) Cash Collateralize the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit to the extent necessary so that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments shall not at any time exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect.

(ii) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments exceeds 103% of the Revolving Commitments then in effect solely as a result of fluctuations in the Dollar Equivalent of Revolving Facility Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars as determined by the Administrative Agent on any Revaluation Date, the Borrower shall repay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize Revolving Facility Letters of Credit within five Business Days after the date of such notification to the extent necessary to cause the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments to no longer exceed the Revolving Commitments then in effect (and the Borrower shall not be required to make such repayment or Cash Collateralization to the extent the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments no longer exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect as a result of fluctuations in currency values). If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral under this clause (e)(ii), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower within five Business Days after the date that the Total Utilization of Revolving Commitments no longer exceeds the Revolving Commitments then in effect as a result of fluctuations in currency values, except to the extent applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings for which it has not been reimbursed.

(iii) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(i) or 2.15(e)(ii) as security for the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (iv) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(i) or 2.15(e)(ii), as applicable, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

76

 

 

(v) Termination of Requirement. Without limiting the requirement to Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d), Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided as sort forth in Section 2.15(e)(i) or 2.15(e)(ii) with respect to Revolving Facility Letters of Credit shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(i) or 2.15(e)(ii) and such Cash Collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (i) as set forth above in Section 2.15(e)(ii) or (ii) within three Business Days after the date that (A) the condition described above in Section 2.15(e)(i) is no longer applicable (subject to Section 2.15(e)(ii)) or (B) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have determined that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

(vi) Subject to clause (vii) below, the Borrower shall from time to time Cash Collateralize the LC Facility Letters of Credit to the extent necessary so that the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage shall not at any time exceed the LC Facility Commitments then in effect.

(vii) If the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower at any time that the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage exceeds 103% of the LC Facility Commitments then in effect solely as a result of fluctuations in the Dollar Equivalent of LC Facility Letters of Credit denominated in Canadian Dollars as determined by the Administrative Agent on any Revaluation Date, the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Obligations with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit within five Business Days after the date of such notification to the extent necessary to cause the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage to no longer exceed the LC Facility Commitments then in effect (and the Borrower shall not be required to make such Cash Collateralization to the extent the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage no longer exceeds the LC Facility Commitments then in effect as a result of fluctuations in currency values). If the Borrower is required to provide Cash Collateral under this clause (e)(vii), such amount shall be returned to the Borrower within five Business Days after the date that the LC Facility Letter of Credit Usage no longer exceeds the LC Facility Commitments then in effect as a result of fluctuations in currency values, except to the extent applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for drawings for which it has not been reimbursed.

(viii) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(vi) or 2.15(e)(vii) as security for the Obligations in respect of the Revolving Facility Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ix) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the amount required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(vi) or 2.15(e)(vii), as applicable, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.


77

 

 

(ix) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under Section 2.15(e)(vi) or 2.15(e)(vii) in respect of LC Facility Letters of Credit shall first be applied to reimburse the Issuing Bank for unreimbursed drawings in respect of such LC Facility Letters of Credit, second, be held for the satisfaction of the Obligations in respect of the LC Facility Letters of Credit, and third, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders holding participations in outstanding LC Facility Letters of Credit representing greater than 50% of the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate undrawn amount of all outstanding LC Facility Letters of Credit), be applied to satisfy the Obligations.

(x) Termination of Requirement. Without limiting the requirement to Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d), Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided as sort forth in Section 2.15(e)(vi) or 2.15(e)(vii) with respect to LC Facility Letters of Credit shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.15(e)(vi) or 2.15(e)(vii) and such Cash Collateral (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower (i) as set forth above in Section 2.15(e)(vii) or (ii) within three Business Days after the date that (A) the condition described above in Section 2.15(e)(vi) is no longer satisfied (subject to Section 2.15(e)(vii)) or (B) the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank have determined that there exists excess Cash Collateral.

(f) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.15(a) through 2.15(d), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount, as the case may be. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount required to be prepaid exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

(g) Pro Rata Sharing of Term Loan Prepayments. If at any time that any mandatory prepayment of the Term Loans is required pursuant to this Section 2.15 (other than with the proceeds of any Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness), the Borrower is required to offer to purchase or prepay any Replacement Term Loans, Permitted First Priority Refinancing Debt, Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt pursuant to the documentation governing such indebtedness with such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount, and such Indebtedness is secured on a pari passu basis with the Term Loan Facility, then the Borrower may apply such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount on a pro rata basis (determined on the basis of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loans and other such Loans at such time); provided that (A) the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds allocated to such other Loans shall not exceed the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds required to be allocated to the prepayment of such other Loans pursuant to the terms of the documentation governing such other Loans, and the remaining amount, if any, of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be allocated to the prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof, and the amount of prepayment of the Term Loans that would have otherwise been required pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be reduced accordingly, and (B) to the extent the holders of such other Loans decline to have such Loans repurchased or prepaid, the declined amount shall promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days after the date of such rejection) be applied to prepay the Term Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.


78

 

 

(h) Foreign Dispositions/Excess Cash Flow. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.15, (i) to the extent that any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Disposition”) or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount so affected will not be required to be applied to prepay Term Loans at the times provided in this Section 2.15 but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount that, in each case, would otherwise be required to be used to make a prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.15, is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount will be promptly (and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after such repatriation) applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.15 and (ii) to the extent that the Borrower has determined in good faith that repatriation to the United States of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount attributable to Foreign Subsidiaries would have material adverse tax cost consequences (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount, such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary; provided that in the case of this clause (ii), on or before the date on which any such Net Cash Proceeds or any such Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount would have been required to be applied to prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.15, the Borrower applies an amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount to such reinvestments or prepayments, as applicable, as if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount (the “Netted Tax Amount”) of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary); provided that, to the extent that the repatriation of any Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount from such Foreign Subsidiary would no longer have an adverse tax consequence, such Foreign Subsidiary shall promptly repatriate (and in any event not later than 10 Business Days after such repatriation) an amount equal to the Netted Tax Amount to the Borrower, which amount shall be applied by the Borrower to prepayment of the Term Loans in accordance with this Section 2.15.


79

 

 

2.16 Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Any prepayment of any Loan pursuant to Section 2.14(a) shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided, in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Loans (or Class thereof) to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied as follows:

(i) first, to repay outstanding Swing Line Loans to the full extent thereof;

(ii) second, to repay outstanding Revolving Loans pro rata among Classes of Revolving Loans to the full extent thereof; and

(iii) third, to prepay the Term Loans pro rata among Classes or Term Loans in direct order of maturity of the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term Loans within each Class.

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any amount required to be used to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.15(a) through 2.15(d) shall be applied to the Class of Term Loans specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment in direct order of maturity of the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of such Class of Term Loans.

(c) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option to refuse its Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (such refused amount of all such Lenders, the “Refused Proceeds”) by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall (i) pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, less the Refused Proceeds, which such remaining amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.16(b)), and (ii) retain any Refused Proceeds or use such Refused Proceeds for any other purpose permitted hereunder.


80

 

 

(d) Application of Prepayments of Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Considering each Class of Loans being prepaid separately, any prepayment thereof shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c).

2.17 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars or Canadian Dollars, as applicable, in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Loan (other than voluntary prepayments of Revolving Loans) shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due related thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/ Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Subject to the provisos set forth in the definition of “Interest Period” as they may apply to Revolving Loans, whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to Revolving Loans only, such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder or of the Revolving Commitment fees hereunder.


81

 

 

(f) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (unless a later time is otherwise specified herein with respect to such payment) to be a non-conforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each applicable Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.11, if applicable, from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.18 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, or by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, amounts payable in respect of Letters of Credit, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or other Obligations owed to it.


82

 

 

2.19 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”, the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date (i) any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) Lenders constituting Required Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Loan as (or continue such Loan as or convert such Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.19(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.19(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected lender to make or maintain Loans as, or to convert Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.


83

 

 

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20.

2.20 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.21 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(a)) shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (regardless of whether the underlying law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order was issued or enacted prior to the date hereof), including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order but excluding solely proposals thereof, or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) or any implementation rules or interpretations of previously issued guidelines, requests or directives, in each case that is issued or made after the date hereof: (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional tax (other than taxes excluded from Section 2.21 pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) of Section 2.21(a) and Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes covered by Section 2.21) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Lender’s obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by a material amount of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) by a material amount with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.20(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) unless it is then the general policy of such Lender to pursue similar compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.


85

 

 

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender (which term shall include the Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.20(b)) shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (B) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender by a material amount as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Loans or Revolving Commitments or Letters of Credit, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans or the Letters of Credit to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with regard to capital adequacy), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.20(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.20 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(b) unless it is then the general policy of such Lender to pursue similar compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.


86

 

 

2.21 Taxes. (a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding (i) net income, net profit, branch profits, and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of the foregoing) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office located in, the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax, or (y) a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection that would not have arisen but for and solely as a result of the Administrative Agent’s, the Arrangers’ or such Lender’s (as applicable) having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document); (ii) taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of this Section; (iii) other withholding taxes imposed by the United States, except to the extent they would not have been imposed but for and solely as a result of a change in applicable Law occurring (x) after the date that such Person became a party to this Agreement, or (y) with respect to an assignment, acquisition, designation of a new applicable lending office or the appointment of another agent for purposes of receiving payments hereunder or other transfer, after the effective date thereof, except to the extent that any predecessor to such Person’s assigned interest was entitled to such amounts (or in the case of a designation of a new applicable lending office, to the extent such Person was entitled to such amounts with respect to its prior applicable lending office); (iv) United States backup withholding taxes under Section 3406 of the Code; (v) taxes that would not have been imposed but for a failure by the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or a Lender (or any financial institution through which any payment is made to such Lender) to comply with the applicable requirements of Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) or any agreement entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b) of the Code, or any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or official interpretations thereof (such Code provisions, regulations and interpretations, collectively, “FATCA”); and (vi) taxes that are attributable solely to a Lender’s, the Administrative Agent’s or the Arrangers’ (as applicable) gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings and all liabilities (including penalties, interest and additions to tax) with respect thereto (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld from or are otherwise imposed on any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes and deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.21) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.

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


87

 

 

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable or remittable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Party or other reasonably satisfactory evidence showing payment thereof. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or the relevant Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.21) paid by such Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or relevant Lender, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any relevant Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefore (which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes for which indemnification is being sought). If the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21(c), it shall pay such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 2.21(c) with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Loan Party held such funds and any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.21(c) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. The agreements in this Section 2.21 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Each Lender, to the extent such Lender is not a “U.S. person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), including, to the extent applicable, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent (and any Transferee) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party and which provides for an exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax,

(ii) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form),

(iii) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-1, to the effect that such Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (4) was not engaged in a conduct of a trade or business within the United States to which the interest payment is effectively connected, and (B) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN;


88

 

 

(iv) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or participating Lender granting a typical participation), a complete and executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2, E-3, or E-4, as applicable, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender shall provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2 or E-4, as applicable, on behalf of such beneficial owner(s) in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide its own certificate; provided, further, that a Person that may be treated as an “exempt recipient” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) (without regard to the third sentence thereof) shall not be required to deliver an IRS Form W-9, except to the extent necessary to avoid U.S. withholding taxes under Treasury Regulations Section 1.1441-1; or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

To the extent a Lender is a “U.S. person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

Such forms shall be delivered by each Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation). In addition, each Lender and the Arrangers shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Person and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and the Arrangers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Lender, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Lender or the Administrative Agent is not legally able to deliver.


89

 

 

(e) A Lender (and to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the Law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers), upon the reasonable request of the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender (and to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent) is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s (and to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent’s) reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would not subject such Lender (or to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent) to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender (or to the extent applicable, the Administrative Agent). In addition, each Lender and the Arrangers shall deliver such requested documentation promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any document previously delivered by such Person and at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Each Lender and the Arrangers shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section (e), the completion, execution and submission of such documentation shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(f) If a payment made to the Arrangers or any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if the Arrangers or such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Arrangers or such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that the Arrangers or such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purpose of this clause (f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.


90

 

 

2.22 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender (which term shall include Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 2.22) agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Loans or Letters of Credit, as the case may be, becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Credit Extensions, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or maintaining of such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Revolving Commitments, Loans or Letters of Credit or the interests of such Lender; provided, such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office pursuant to this Section 2.22 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 for any costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions is given retroactive effect, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect therefor.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7 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 such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 2.23(d); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 2.23(d); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Bank or Swing Line Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Event of 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 such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied and waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or reimbursement obligations with respect to Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iii). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.


91

 

 

(ii) Certain Fees.

(1) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender); provided such Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive fees pursuant to Sections 2.12(a)(ii) and 2.12(b)(ii) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to extent allocable to its Pro Rata Share of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 2.23(d).

(2) With respect to any fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (1) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit or Swing Line Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iii) below, (y) pay to the Issuing Bank the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(iii) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), (y) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment and (z) such reallocation does not cause the aggregate LC Facility Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s LC Facility Commitment. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(iv) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (iii) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 2.23(d).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Swing Line Lender and Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments (without giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iii), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of 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 Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

(c) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender the Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that the participations in any existing Letters of Credit as well as the new, extended, renewed or increased Letter of Credit has been or will be fully allocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in a manner consistent with clause (a)(iii) above and such Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein except to the extent such Defaulting Lender’s participation has been or will be fully Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.23(d).


93

 

 

(d) Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to Section 2.23(a)(iii) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.

(i) Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Bank, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit, to be applied pursuant to clause (ii) below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that such Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.23 in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letters of Credit (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.

(iii) Termination of Requirement. Without limiting the requirement to Cash Collateralize the applicable Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 2.23(d), Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 2.23 following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender) or (ii) the determination by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to the other provisions of this Section 2.23, the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations; provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

(iv) Lender Counterparties. So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Lender shall not be a Lender Counterparty with respect to any Hedge Agreement entered into while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender.


94

 

 

2.24 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.23(b) within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.1 (other than with respect to clause (ix) of Section 9.1) or in connection with any Extension, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required (or, in the case of an Extension, whose consent is required in order to extend the maturity date of all Loans or Commitments of such Class) shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Loans and its Revolving Commitments and LC Facility Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Persons permitted to become Lenders hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (each a “Replacement Lender”) and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased-Cost Lender, a Non-Consenting Lender or a Defaulting Lender; provided, (1) on the date of such assignment, such Terminated Lender shall have received payment from the Replacement Lender or the Borrower in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees owing to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.12; (2) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19(c), 2.20 or 2.21, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation and on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.19(c), 2.20 or 2.21; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender; provided, the Borrower may not make such election with respect to any Terminated Lender that is also an Issuing Bank unless, prior to the effectiveness of such election, the Borrower shall have caused each outstanding Letter of Credit issued thereby to be cancelled or Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect to such Letter of Credit or the Issuing Bank has otherwise entered into arrangements satisfactory to it and the Borrower with respect to such Letter of Credit. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Revolving Commitments and LC Facility Commitments, if any, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided, any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.6; provided that each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.24 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.6.

2.25 Extensions of Loans.

(a) The Borrower may from time to time, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.25, agree with one or more Lenders holding Loans or Commitments of any Class to extend the maturity date (the original maturity date in respect of any such Class, an “Original Maturity Date”) and otherwise modify the economic terms of any such Class or any portion thereof (including, without limitation, by changing the interest rate or fees payable and/or modifying the amortization schedule or call premium in respect of any Loans of such Class or any portion thereof) (each such modification, an “Extension”) pursuant to one or more written offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders under any Class that is proposed to be extended under this Section 2.25, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the relative principal amounts of the outstanding Loans and Commitments of each Lender in such Class) and on the same terms to each such Lender. In connection with each Extension, the Borrower will provide notification to the Administrative Agent (for distribution to the Lenders of the applicable Class), no later than 10 days (or such shorter period as the Administrative Agent may agree) prior to the maturity of the applicable Class or Classes to be extended of the requested new maturity date for the extended Loans and/or Commitments of each such Class (each, an “Extended Maturity Date”) and the due date for Lender responses. In connection with any Extension, each Lender of the applicable Class wishing to participate in such Extension shall, prior to such due date, provide the Administrative Agent with a written notice thereof in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Any Lender that does not respond to an Extension Offer by the applicable due date shall be deemed to have rejected such Extension Offer. After giving effect to any Extension, the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, so extended shall cease to be a part of the Class they were a part of immediately prior to the Extension (the “Original Class”) and shall be a new Class hereunder (the portion of such Original Class that is extended, the “Extended Class,” and the portion of such Original Class that is not extended, the “Non-Extended Class”).

(b) Each Extension shall be subject to the following:

(i) except as to interest rate margins, interest rate floors, fees, original issue discount, call protection, scheduled amortization, voluntary and mandatory prepayments and final maturity date (which shall, subject to clause (ii) below, be determined by the Borrower and set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any Lender extended pursuant to any Extension shall have the same terms as the Loans or Commitments, as applicable, subject to the related Extension Offer, except to the extent necessary to provide for covenants and other terms applicable to any period after the Maturity Date of such Class in effect immediately prior to such Extension (other than that applicable to the Commitments or Loans subject to such Extension);


96

 

 

(ii) the Extended Maturity Date of any Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of a Class being extended pursuant to an Extension shall be later than the Maturity Date of such Class, and the weighted average life to maturity of any Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of a Class being extended pursuant to an Extension shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of such Class;

(iii) the Loans or Commitments being extended pursuant to an Extension may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Extension Amendment;

(iv) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of a Class in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted an Extension Offer exceeds the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans or Commitments, as the case may be, of such Class offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to the relevant Extension Offer, then such Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of such Class shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the relative principal amounts thereof (not to exceed any Lender’s actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders accepted such Extension Offer;

(v) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing, and all written communications by the Borrower generally directed to the applicable Lenders under the applicable Class in connection therewith shall be in form and substance consistent with the foregoing and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent;

(vi) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition (as defined below) shall be satisfied; and

(vii) no Extension shall become effective unless, on the proposed effective date of such Extension, the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 shall be satisfied (with all references in such Section to a Credit Date being deemed to be references to the Extension on the applicable date of such Extension), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate to that effect dated the applicable date of such Extension and executed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower.

(c) The consummation and effectiveness of any Extension will be subject to a condition set forth in the relevant Extension Offer (a “Minimum Extension Condition”) that Lenders of the applicable Class holding a minimum amount of the Loans (to be determined in the Borrower’s discretion and specified in the relevant Extension Offer but in no event less than $5,000,000 unless another amount is agreed to by the Administrative Agent) accept such Extension Offer. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that the provisions of Section 2.18 and Section 9.1 will not apply to Extensions of any Loans or Commitments, as applicable, pursuant to Extension Offers made pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.25, including to any payment of interest or fees in respect of any Loans or Commitments, as applicable, that have been extended pursuant to an Extension at a rate or rates different from those paid or payable in respect of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, of any other Class, in each case as is set forth in the relevant Extension Offer.


97

 

 

(d) On the Original Maturity Date, with respect to each Lender’s Loans or Commitments under any Non-Extended Class, immediately upon the repayment of all amounts owing to such Lender in respect of such Non-Extended Class and the termination of such Lender’s Commitments, if any, thereunder (the “Terminated Loans/Commitments”), at the Borrower’s election (upon prior written notice to the Administrative Agent), such Terminated Loans/Commitments may be deemed to be reallocated, in whole or in part, to one or more Persons who agree to provide Loans or Commitments (“Replacement Loans/Commitments”) hereunder having the same terms and conditions as the Extended class and who are permitted to become Lenders hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, and at all times thereafter, such Replacement Loans/Commitments shall be deemed to be Loans and/or Commitments, as applicable, of the Extended Class; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Loans/Commitments exceed the aggregate principal amount of Terminated Loans/Commitments with respect to the related Non-Extended Class.

(e) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments (collectively, “Extension Amendments”) to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary in order establish new Classes of Loans or Commitments, as applicable, created pursuant to an Extension (including any Replacement Loans/Commitments established on any Original Maturity Date pursuant to clause (d) above), in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.25. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to seek the advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders with respect to any matter contemplated by this Section 2.25 and, if the Administrative Agent seeks such advice or concurrence, the Administrative Agent shall be permitted to enter into such amendments with the Borrower in accordance with any instructions received from such Required Lenders and shall also be entitled to refrain from entering into such amendments with the Borrower unless and until it shall have received such advice or concurrence; provided, however, that whether or not there has been a request by the Administrative Agent for any such advice or concurrence, all such Extension Amendments entered into with the Borrower by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be binding on the Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extension, the appropriate Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (or any other Security Document that the Administrative Agent reasonably requests to be amended to reflect an Extension) that has a maturity date prior to the latest Extended Maturity Date so that such maturity date is extended to the then latest Extended Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent).

(f) In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least 10 days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be reasonably established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.25.

2.26 [Reserved].

2.27 Incremental Facility.

(a) Incremental Term Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy to each of the Lenders), to request one or more (i) additional tranches of term loans of the same Class as any existing Class of term loans hereunder or a new Class of term loans (“Incremental Term Loans”) or (ii) incurrences of Incremental Equivalent Debt, in an aggregate principal amount for all such Incremental Term Loans and incurrences of Incremental Equivalent Debt of up to the Incremental Amount.

(b) Terms and Conditions. The following terms and conditions shall apply to any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt: (i) as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt, no event shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from such incurrence that would constitute an Event of Default, (ii) as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt, the representations and warranties contained herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of such date to the same extent as though made on and as of that date, except to the extent such representations and warranties specifically relate to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date; provided that, in each case, such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof; provided further that, if such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt is being incurred in connection with a Permitted Acquisition, if agreed by the lenders or holders, as the case may be, providing such Incremental Term Loans or holders of such Incremental Equivalent Debt, the representations and warranties for which accuracy as of the date of incurrence of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt is required may be limited to a subset of representations and warranties to be agreed by the Borrower and such additional lenders and the reference to “Material Adverse Effect” in such representations and warranties shall be understood for this purpose to refer to “Material Adverse Effect” or similar definition in the main transaction agreement governing such Permitted Acquisition, (iii) the final maturity date of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt shall not be earlier than the Latest Maturity Date then in effect with respect to the Term Loans, and the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt shall be no shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the Term Loans (except to the extent of nominal amortization for periods where amortization has been eliminated as a result of prepayment of the Term Loans), (iv) in the case of Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Debt that is secured on a pari passu basis to the Term Loans, the Weighted Average Yield (excluding any customary arrangement or similar fees in connection therewith that are not paid to all of the participant lenders) to the participating lenders in respect of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt (other than Incremental Equivalent Debt that is unsecured) shall not exceed the Weighted Average Yield for the existing Term Loans by more than 50 basis points; provided that if the Weighted Average Yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt does so exceed the Weighted Average Yield applicable to the existing Term Loans, the Applicable Margin with respect to the existing Term Loans shall be increased so that the Weighted Average Yield in respect of such Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt is no more than 50 basis points higher than the Weighted Average Yield for the existing Term Loans, and (v) the Incremental Term Loans shall be on the same terms as the existing Term Loans, except with respect to changes to maturity, amortization, call protection, mandatory and voluntary prepayments, interest rate floors, Applicable Margin, original issue discount and upfront or other fees permitted by clauses (iii) and (iv) above. Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Debt that ranks pari passu in right of security with the Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or on a less than pro rata basis (but not on a greater than pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory prepayments hereunder, as specified in the applicable Incremental Amendment.


99

 

 

(c) Participation and Documentation. Incremental Term Loans and Incremental Equivalent Debt may be provided by any existing Lender (provided that no existing Lender shall have any obligation to provide any portion of any Incremental Term Loans or Incremental Equivalent Debt) or by any other Person; provided that, in the case of Incremental Term Loans, such other Person is permitted to become a Lender hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6. Incremental Term Loans shall be made pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by Holdings, the Borrower, each Lender or other Person agreeing to provide such Incremental Term Loans and the Administrative Agent. Such Incremental Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including any intercreditor agreement then in effect) as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Borrower shall be permitted at any time and from time to time to add any of their respective Subsidiaries as an additional Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with this Section.

The designation of any Subsidiary of the Borrower as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Intrawest Group Members therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by a Responsible Officer) of the Intrawest Group Members’ investment therein. The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Intrawest Group Member designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall not be deemed to be an Intrawest Group Member for any purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of financial definitions and financial calculations contained herein.

146

 

 

(b) If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to Section 7.3(a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 for such Test Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 7.1(c) that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided, however, that (i) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Section 6.1 and (ii) to the extent that the Cure Amount proceeds are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the covenants in Section 6.1 for the period with respect to which such Cure Amount applies.

(c) If on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the investment of cash in equity of Holdings pursuant to the preceding clause (a), the Borrower would have been in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 6.1 as of the date of the relevant Compliance Certificate, the Event of Default under Section 6.1 shall be deemed to have not occurred. During the pendency of any cure right afforded to the Intrawest Group Members pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Administrative Agent shall not exercise any remedies described under Section 7.1 or otherwise for failure to satisfy the financial covenant set forth in Section 6.1.

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

(b) shall 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 shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall 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;

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

(d) shall 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 shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 7.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender;


148

 

 

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement 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 the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (vii) the filing, re-filing, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times, (viii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral or (ix) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;

(f) shall not be required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Agent; and

(g) shall not be required to (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, except for such expense, indemnity or liability, if any, arising out of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

No requirement in any Loan Document for a Loan Party to provide evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material requested or required by the Administrative Agent shall be construed to mean that the Administrative Agent has any responsibility to request or require such evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material. No Lender shall assert, and each Lender hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, including any predecessor agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

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


149

 

 

8.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

8.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the Issuing Bank and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Issuing Bank and the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) is continuing, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower, the Issuing Bank and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall 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 successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall 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 shall 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 shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.


150

 

 

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

8.8 No Other Duties, Etc.. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arrangers listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in their capacities, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

8.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall 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 2.12 and 9.5) 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, if the Administrative Agent shall 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 2.12 and 9.5.


151

 

 

Nothing contained herein shall 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 or in any such proceeding.

8.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters; Rights Under Hedge Agreements. (a) Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release or evidence the release of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement or any Loan Document or to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, in each case as provided in Section 9.22.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 9.22.

(c) No Hedge Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights to manage or release any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 9.1(xi). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (c).

8.11 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax except to the extent that such Lender has established an exemption from or reduction of such withholding tax by complying with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (e) of Section 2.21 or that such tax has been withheld by a Loan Party. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.21, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, any and all taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 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 Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.


152

 

 

8.12 Intercreditor and Subordination Agreements. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to enter into any Intercreditor Agreement or any other intercreditor or subordination agreement pertaining to any subordinated debt or other debt secured by the Collateral or any portion thereof on its behalf and to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of any such agreement.

Section 9. MISCELLANEOUS

9.1 Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders, the Borrower and each other Loan Party which is a party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party which is a party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents (including amendments and restatements hereof or thereof) for the purpose of adding or removing any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights and obligations of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as may be specified in the instrument of waiver, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, with the consent of Holdings and the Borrower only and without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender, amend, supplement or modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, so long as such amendment, supplement or modification does not adversely affect the rights of any Lender or the Issuing Bank or the Lenders shall have received at least five Business Days’ prior written notice thereof and Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five Business Days of the date of such notice to the Lenders, a written notice from the Requisite Lenders stating that the Requisite Lenders object to such amendment; provided further, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall:

(i) forgive the principal amount of any Loan or any reimbursement obligation in respect of any Letter of Credit, extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable under this Agreement (except (x) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders), and (y) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial ratios in this Agreement shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (i)) or extend the scheduled date of any Installment payment, extend the time for payment of any interest, fees or premium, increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Commitment of any Lender, or, unless Cash Collateralized in an amount equal to the Minimum Collateral Amount with respect thereto, extend the stated expiration date of any Revolving Facility Letter of Credit beyond the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or any LC Facility Letter of Credit beyond the LC Facility Commitment Termination Date, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;


153

 

 

(ii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section without the consent of each Lender, or, except as contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 9.1, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders or reduce the consent required under any provision pursuant to which the consent of Required Lenders is necessary, in each case without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(iii) consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the consent of each Lender, other than to a Successor Borrower;

(iv) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8, or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent, without the consent of the Administrative Agent;

(v) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.18 without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;

(vi) (A) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.4, 2.5, 2.23(d) or this clause (vi)(A) or any other provision of this Agreement relating to Letters of Credit, or any definitions used in such provisions to the extent the modification thereof would have the effect of modifying or changing the meaning of Section 2.4, 2.5 or 2.23(d), or any other provision affecting the rights, duties or obligations of any Issuing Bank, without the consent of the Issuing Bank, (B) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.4(j), amend or modify Section 6.1, the proviso to the second sentence of Section 7.1, or Section 7.3 (including, in each case, related definitions to the extent the modification thereof would have the effect of modifying Section 6.1 or Section 7.3) or waive or consent to any waiver of a Financial Covenant Event of Default without the consent of the Required Revolving Lenders or (C) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.5(h) without the consent of the Required LC Facility Lenders;

(vii) except upon satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions, without the written consent of each Lender;

(viii) release all or substantially all of the value of the Guarantee Agreements, without the written consent of each Lender, except (i) to the extent the release of any Subsidiary from a Guarantee Agreement is permitted pursuant to Section 9.22 (in which case such release may be made without the consent of any Lender) or (ii) upon satisfaction of the Termination Conditions;


154

 

 

(ix) amend or modify Section 2.14(b)(iii) without the consent of each Lender holding LC Facility Commitments;

(x) amend or modify the definition of “Priority Lien Obligations” or amend, modify or waive any other provision of this Agreement or the Security Agreement in a manner that would adversely affect the priority Lien status of the Priority Lien Obligations without the consent of the Issuing Bank and each Lender holding Revolving Loans and/or Revolving Commitments; or

(xi) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Agreement or the Security Agreement so as to alter the ratable treatment of Pari Passu Lien Obligations arising under the Loan Documents and Pari Passu Lien Obligations arising under Hedge Agreements or the definitions of “Lender Counterparty,” “Hedge Agreement” or “Obligations” (with respect to the treatment of obligations under Hedge Agreements owed to Lender Counterparties) in each case in a manner adverse to any Lender Counterparty with Obligations then outstanding without the written consent of any such Lender Counterparty;

provided, further, that any Loan Document may be waived, amended, supplemented or modified pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (without the consent of any Lender) solely to grant a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extend an existing Lien over additional property.

Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantee Agreements, Security Documents and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower only and without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered solely to the extent necessary to (i) comply with local Law or advice of local counsel or (ii) cause such Guarantee Agreement, Security Document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.


155

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) (a) through an Extension Amendment on terms consistent with Section 2.25; (b) in connection with any Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Equivalent Debt on terms consistent with Section 2.27; (c) in connection with any Replacement Revolving Commitments, Replacement LC Commitments, Replacement Term Loans or Credit Agreement Refinancing Indebtedness on terms consistent with Section 2.28, and (d) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Loans and Commitments hereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and provide for class voting to the extent appropriate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring the consent or approval of Required Lenders, Lenders that are Affiliated Loan Funds shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts actually included in determining whether the threshold in the definition of Required Lenders has been satisfied. The voting power of each Lender that is an Affiliated Loan Fund shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

9.2 Notices. Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.2(b), all notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telefacsimile), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telefacsimile notice, when received, addressed (a) in the case of Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, as follows and (b) in the case of the Lenders, at its primary address set forth below its name on Appendix A or otherwise indicated to Administrative Agent in writing or, in the case of a Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, in such Assignment and Acceptance or (c) in the case of any party, to such other address as such party may hereafter notify to the other parties hereto:

refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, 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 any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), but excluding, in each case, taxes which shall be governed by Section 2.21; provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or (y) resulted from any dispute that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent, Deed of Trust Trustee, the Issuing Bank, the Swing Line Lender or an Arranger under the Facilities. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to R. Nardone (Telephone No. (212) 798-6110) (Fax No. (212) 798-6120), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


159

 

 

(b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) 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), any Issuing Bank or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (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) or an Issuing Bank in connection with such capacity.

9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement except in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(x)(i) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.


160

 

 

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, no Lender shall be permitted to sell any such participating interest to (i) any of the Fortress/Grove Funds, any of their respective Affiliates (other than any Affiliated Loan Fund) or any of their respective associated investment funds, (ii) a natural person or (iii) any Disqualified Assignee. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting the participation to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.21, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of said Section; and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred unless such transfer was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amount of each Participant’s interest in the Loans held by it (the “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 the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.


161

 

 

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment made by or to an Arranger), the Issuing Bank (with respect to assignments of Revolving Commitments or LC Facility Commitments) (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment made by or to an Arranger) and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment made to or, in connection with the primary syndication of the Facilities (other than assignments to any Disqualified Assignee), by an Arranger) (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof, to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such Assignor and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that assignments made to any Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund will not be subject to the above described consents; provided, further, that (i) no assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests in the Term Loan Facility under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Term Loans) shall have Term Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000, (ii) no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) of Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $2,500,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests in the Revolving Facility under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments) shall have Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments aggregating at least $2,500,000, and (iii) no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) of LC Facility Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $2,500,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests in the LC Facility under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any LC Facility Commitments) shall have LC Facility Commitments aggregating at least $2,500,000, in each case unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided, however, no Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) any of the Fortress/Grove Funds, any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries), unless the additional limitations set forth in Section 9.6(d) are satisfied, (ii) Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except pursuant to Borrower Loan Purchase made in accordance with Section 9.6(i), (iii) any natural person or (iv) any Disqualified Assignee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Assignee is void ab initio unless such assignment or participation, as the case may be, has been approved by the Borrower, in which case such assignee or participant shall not be considered a Disqualified Assignee solely for such particular assignment or participation, as the case may be. In the case of an assignment not approved by the Borrower, such Disqualified Assignee shall be deleted from the Register upon written notification from the Borrower. Except for providing the list of Disqualified Assignees to each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to monitor or enforce such list of Disqualified Assignees.


162

 

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans to any of the Fortress/Grove Funds or any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds, other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (an “Affiliated Lender”), pursuant to an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption in accordance with this Section 9.6(d) (which assignment will not constitute a prepayment of Term Loans for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); provided that:

(i) Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the “Required Lenders” have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all Term Loans held by any Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions, and each Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (ii). Affiliated Loan Funds shall not be subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (ii), and shall be entitled to vote as any other Lender;


163

 

 

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) may not exceed 20% of the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans, and any assignments that cause the Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) in the aggregate to exceed such percentages, as applicable, shall be deemed void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment;

(iv) each of the parties hereto and any Lender participating in any assignment to an Affiliated Lender acknowledge and agree that in connection with such assignment, (A) the assignee then may have, and later may come into possession of Excluded Information, (B) such Lender has, independently and without reliance on such Affiliated Lender, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, (C) none of the Affiliated Lenders or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against such Affiliated Lender, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and any of its affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information and (D) the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders;

(v) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment to an Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Loan Fund) or would result from such assignment; and

(vi) each Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby further agrees that if any Loan Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law, each such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in such proceeding in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such proceeding by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any matter under such proceeding proposes to treat the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents held by other Lenders. Each Affiliated Lender agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing constitutes an irrevocable proxy in favor of the Administrative Agent to vote or consent on behalf of such Affiliated Lender in any proceeding in the manner set forth above; provided that any Affiliated Lender that qualifies as an Affiliated Loan Fund shall not be subject to the limits set forth in this Section 9.6(d)(v).


164

 

 

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (provided, however, that (i) Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) no such fee shall be required to be paid (A) in connection with an assignment by or to any Arranger or any Affiliate thereof or (B) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the applicable Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Loans assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained Loans, upon request, a new Note to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Note or Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section concerning assignments of Loans and Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Loans and Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Loan or Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. Each party hereto also agrees that each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 through its Granting Lender with respect to its granted interest in the Commitments and the Loans outstanding from time to time as if such SPC were a Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.21, such SPC shall have complied with the requirements of said Section; and provided, further, that no SPC shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the interest granted by such Granting Lender to such SPC had no such grant occurred unless such grant was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or a portion of its interests in any Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This Section 9.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. To the extent an SPC provides a Loan, the applicable Lender may maintain a register on behalf of the Borrower and the SPC’s interest must be entered in the register.


165

 

 

(h) [Reserved].

(i) Purchases of Term Loans by the Borrower.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily purchase Term Loans from one or more Lenders and simultaneously cancel or retire such Term Loans and the Lenders shall be permitted to sell or assign such Term Loans to the Borrower (in each case, a “Borrower Loan Purchase”) subject to all the other requirements of this Section 9.6(i).

(ii) The Borrower may conduct one or more modified “Dutch auctions” (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans; provided that (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Lenders having or holding Term Loans and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to customary procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 9.6(i) and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent.

(iii) The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of a Responsible Officer stating that no Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such purchase and assignment or would result from such purchase and assignment.


166

 

 

(iv) The Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Revolving Loans to acquire such Term Loans.

(v) On and after the effective date of such Borrower Loan Purchase (the “Borrower Loan Purchase Effective Date”), (i) the Term Loans purchased by the Borrower shall be deemed cancelled or retired for all purposes and shall no longer be deemed outstanding (and may not be resold by the Borrower) for all purposes of this Agreement and all other Loan Documents (notwithstanding any provisions herein or therein to the contrary), including, but not limited to, (A) the making of, or the application of, any payments to the Lenders under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (B) the making of any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (C) the providing of any rights to the Borrower as a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (D) the determination of the Required Lenders and (E) the calculation of the amount of Indebtedness hereunder, and (ii) no interest or fees of any type shall accrue from and after a Borrower Loan Purchase Effective Date on any Term Loans purchased by the Borrower on such Borrower Loan Purchase Effective Date. For clarification purposes, the Borrower shall never be deemed to be a Lender hereunder.

(vi) The Lenders hereby consent to the transactions described in this Section 9.6(i) and waive the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 2.17(c), 2.18 and 9.6) and any other Loan Document that might otherwise result in a breach of this Agreement or create an Event of Default as a result of or in connection with the consummation of any Borrower Loan Purchase. The Lenders acknowledge that purchases made by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.6(i) may result in the retirement of Term Loans on a non-pro rata basis among the Lenders. The Lenders further acknowledge that any payment made to a Lender in connection with a Borrower Loan Purchase is solely for the account of such Lender and no ratable sharing of such proceeds is required under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(vii) All Borrower Loan Purchases and subsequent cancellation or retirement of such Term Loans by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.6(i) shall be used to prepay the Term Loans in direct order of maturity of the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term Loans.

(viii) Each of the parties hereto and any Lender participating in any Borrower Loan Purchase pursuant to this Section 9.6(i) acknowledge and agree that in connection with any such Borrower Loan Purchase, (A) the Borrower then may have, and later may come into possession of Excluded Information, (B) such Lender has, independently and without reliance on the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such Borrower Loan Purchase notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, (C) none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent nor any Affiliate of the foregoing shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agents and any Affiliate of the foregoing, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information and (D) the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agents or the other Lenders.


167

 

 

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off. (a)   If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

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

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of Holdings, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), each of Holdings, and the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers are arm’s-length commercial transactions between Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, on the other hand, (B) each of Holdings and the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) each of Holdings, and the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and each Arranger is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of Holdings, the Borrower and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each of Holdings, and the Borrower hereby waives and releases any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

9.14 Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to keep confidential all non-public information provided to it by any Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement that is designated by such Loan Party as confidential (“Information”); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Administrative Agent or any Lender from disclosing any such information (a) to the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or any affiliate of any thereof, (b) to any Participant or Assignee (each, a “Transferee”) or prospective Transferee that agrees to comply with the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions, (c) to any of its or its affiliates’ employees, directors, agents, attorneys, accountants and other professional advisors, (d) to any financial institution that is a direct or indirect contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisor (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisor to such contractual counterparty agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section or substantially equivalent provisions), (e) upon the request or demand of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it, (f) to the extent required in response to any order of any court or other Governmental Authority or to the extent otherwise required pursuant to any Requirement of Law, (g) in connection with any litigation or similar proceeding, (h) that has been publicly disclosed other than in breach of this Section, (i) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about a Lender’s investment portfolio in connection with ratings issued with respect to such Lender, (j) to any other party hereto, (k) with the consent of the Borrower or (l) in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; provided that, in the event a Lender receives a summons or subpoena to disclose confidential information to any party, such Lender shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify the Borrower thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and to afford the Loan Parties an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as the Loan Parties may deem reasonable. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

9.15 Accounting Changes. In the event that any “Accounting Change” (as defined below) shall occur and such change results in a change in the method of calculation of financial covenants, standards or terms in this Agreement, and either the Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so request, then the Borrower and the Lenders agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions of this Agreement so as to equitably reflect such Accounting Change with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the Borrower’s financial condition shall be the same after such Accounting Change as if such Accounting Change had not been made. Until such time as such an amendment shall have been executed and delivered in accordance with Section 9.1, all financial covenants, standards and terms in this Agreement shall continue to be calculated or construed as if such Accounting Change had not occurred. “Accounting Change” refers to any change in accounting principles required by the promulgation of any rule, regulation, pronouncement or opinion by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, any other generally accepted accounting authority which provides regulation standard or, if applicable, the SEC.

9.16 WAIVERS OF JURY TRIAL. HOLDINGS, THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK AND THE LENDERS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

9.17 Conversion of Currencies. (a) If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.

(b) The obligations of the Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Borrower agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss. The obligations of the Borrower contained in this Section 9.17 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.

9.18 [Reserved].

9.19 [Reserved].

9.20 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

9.21 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Bank or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part 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, the Issuing Bank 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 shall 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 and the Issuing Bank 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 Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the Issuing Bank under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

9.22 Releases of Collateral and Guarantees. Each of the Lenders (including in its capacity as a potential Lender Counterparty) and the Issuing Bank irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to be the agent for the representative of the Lenders with respect to the Guarantee Agreements, the Collateral and the Security Documents; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not owe any fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or any other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Obligations with respect to any Hedge Agreements, and the Administrative Agent agrees that:

(a) The Administrative Agent’s Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document shall be automatically and fully released (A) upon satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, (B) at the time the Property subject to such Lien is sold (other than to any other Loan Party or other Person that would be required pursuant to any Security Document to grant a Lien on such Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties after giving effect to such Disposition) as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (C) if the Property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement pursuant to clause (b) below, (D) with respect to the property of any Unrestricted Subsidiary upon the designation of such Person as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with Section 5.16, or (E) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 9.1.


172

 

 

(b) Any Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) in connection with a Replacement Secured Financing described in Section 6.2(u), (ii) with respect to any Guarantor that is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary upon such designation in accordance with Section 5.16, or (iii) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such transaction as permitted by the Loan Documents; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any other Indebtedness expressly subordinated to the Obligations.

(c) At the request of the Borrower, it will subordinate or release its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document in connection with the incurrence of any Indebtedness that is permitted by Section 6.2(c), (f) or (u) (including, in the case of Indebtedness permitted by Section 6.2(u), the Capital Stock of the owner of the assets subject to such Replacement Secured Financing so long as arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent are made to ensure the Administrative Agent maintains an interest in the residual value of the assets subject to such Replacement Secured Financing through a Lien on an indirect parent of the owner of such assets).

(d) At the request of the Borrower, it will subordinate its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.3(e), (f), (g), (i), (j), (s) or (y), or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.1) have otherwise consented.

(e) On the date that the Termination Conditions are satisfied, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without the need to deliver any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(f) It will promptly execute, authorize or file such documentation as may be reasonably requested by any Grantor to release or subordinate, or evidence the release or subordination (in registrable form, if applicable), its Liens with respect to any Collateral or the guarantee obligations of any Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.22; provided that the foregoing shall be at the Borrower’s expense.

9.23 Time. Time is of the essence in all respects hereof.
