Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
Amended and Restated ABL Facility
On September 2, 2011, Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (the Company) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) among the Company, as lead borrower, the borrowers party thereto, the facility guarantors party thereto, Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and collateral agent, the lenders party thereto (the Lenders), Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as co-syndication agents, and Suntrust Bank and U.S. Bank, National Association, as co-documentation agents, in order to amend various terms of the Companys first Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 15, 2010, as amended (the Existing Credit Agreement).
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company and the Lenders agreed to extend the termination date of the asset-based revolving credit facility under the Existing Credit Agreement to September 2, 2016.
The aggregate amount of commitments under the Amended Credit Agreement is $600,000,000. The Company may increase the aggregate amount of commitments up to $900,000,000, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The interest rates under the Amended Credit Agreement are based on: (i) for LIBO loans for any interest period, at a rate per annum equal to (a) the LIBO rate as determined by the Administrative Agent, for such interest period multiplied by the Statutory Reserve Rate (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement) (the Adjusted LIBO Rate), plus an applicable margin of (x) 1.75% if average daily Availability (as defined and described below) is greater than or equal to 40% of the Loan Cap (as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement), (y) 2.00% if average daily Availability is less than 40% of the Loan Cap but greater than or equal to 20% the Loan Cap, or (z) 2.25% if average daily Availability is less than 20% the Loan Cap; and (ii) for prime rate loans, a rate per annum equal to the highest of (a) the variable annual rate of interest then announced by Bank of America, N.A. at its head office as its prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate in effect on such date plus 0.50% per annum, or (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate in effect on September 2, 2011 and on each 30-day period after September 2, 2011, plus 1.00% per annum, plus an applicable margin of (x) 0.75% if average daily Availability is greater than or equal to 40% of the Loan Cap, (y) 1.00% if average daily Availability is less than 40% of the Loan Cap but greater than or equal to 20% the Loan Cap, or (z) 1.25% if average daily Availability is less than 20% the Loan Cap. The Company and the Lenders have agreed that during the period from September 2, 2011 through November 26, 2011, the applicable interest rate margin for LIBO Loans will be 2.00% and the applicable interest rate margin for prime rate loans will be 1.00%. On November 27, 2011, and on the first date of fiscal quarter thereafter, the applicable interest rate margin will be adjusted as described above based on Availability for the most recently ended fiscal quarter preceding such adjustment date. Availability under the Amended Credit Agreement means the lesser of (a) the aggregate commitments of all Lenders minus the outstanding credit extensions and (b) the borrowing base minus the outstanding credit extensions.
Pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement, the Borrowers obligation to pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, a fee on the average daily balance of unused loan commitments has been reduced to 0.375%.
Further, pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement the calculation of the borrowing base has been amended to allow for increased Availability, particularly during the September 1st through December 15th period of each year. In addition, the Borrowers failure to meet the minimum availability threshold set in the Existing Credit Agreement will not result in an event of default pursuant to the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement if the Borrowers comply with a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio. The Amended Credit Agreement also reduces the number of annual field examinations and appraisals required from two per year to one per year, so long as the Borrowers comply with a minimum availability threshold and no event of default exists. The Amended Credit Agreement also reduces the Availability threshold at which the Companys cash is swept into bank accounts controlled by the Lenders.
The Amended Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, subject to limitations and exceptions, and customary covenants restricting the Loan Parties and their subsidiaries ability to, among other things, and subject to various exceptions, (1) declare dividends, make distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock, (2) prepay, redeem or repurchase other debt, (3) incur liens or grant negative pledges, (4) make loans and investments and enter into acquisitions, (5) incur additional indebtedness, (6) make capital expenditures, (7) engage in mergers, acquisitions and asset sales, (8) conduct transactions with affiliates, (9) alter the nature of their businesses, or (10) change their fiscal year. The Loan Parties are also required to comply with various customary affirmative covenants.
Events of default under the Amended Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to, (1) the Loan Parties failure to pay principal, interest, fees or other amounts under the Amended Credit Agreement when due (taking into account any applicable
grace period), (2) any representation or warranty proving to have been materially incorrect when made, (3) covenant defaults subject, with respect to certain covenants, to a grace period, (4) bankruptcy events, (5) a cross default to certain other debt, including a cross default to the Companys term loan debt, provided, however, the Lenders are subject to a 60-day standstill period if the underlying term loan default has occurred as a result of the Companys failure to meet any of the financial maintenance covenants set forth in the term loan agreement, (6) certain undischarged judgments (not paid within an applicable grace period), (7) certain ERISA-related defaults, (8) challenges to and/or the invalidity or impairment of specified security interests and (9) certain change of control events.
The foregoing description of the Amended Credit Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such document, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated into this item 1.01 by reference.

(i) The Total Outstandings shall not at any time cause Availability to be less than zero;

SECTION 2.02 Increase in Total Commitments
(a) Request for Increase. At any time and from time to time prior to the Termination Date, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or would arise therefrom, the Lead Borrower shall have the right to request an increase of the aggregate of the then outstanding Commitments (including the Letter of Credit Sublimit) by an amount as would cause the Total Commitments not to exceed $900,000,000 in the aggregate. The Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall determine the effective date of such requested increase and any such requested increase shall be first made available to all existing Lenders on a pro rata basis. To the extent that, on or before the tenth (10th) day following such request for an increase hereunder, the existing Lenders decline to increase their Commitments, or decline to increase their Commitments to the amount requested by the Lead Borrower, or fail to respond to such request for an increase, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Lead Borrower, will use its reasonable best efforts to arrange for one or more other Persons to become a Lender hereunder and to issue commitments in an amount equal to the amount of the increase in the Total Commitments requested by the Lead Borrower and not accepted by the existing Lenders (each such increase by either means, a Commitment Increase, and each Person issuing, or Lender increasing, its Commitment, an Additional Commitment Lender), provided, however, that (i) no Lender shall be obligated to provide a Commitment Increase as a result of any such request by the Lead Borrower, (ii) any Additional
59
Commitment Lender which is not an existing Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lead Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and (iii) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, at no time shall the Commitment of any Additional Lender under this Agreement be less than $10,000,000.

(b) Conditions to Effectiveness of each Commitment Increase. No Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived:
(i) The Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and any Additional Commitment Lender shall have executed and delivered a joinder to the Loan Documents in such form as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require;
(ii) The Borrowers shall have paid such fees and other compensation to the Additional Commitment Lenders and the Arrangers as the Lead Borrower, the Arrangers and such Additional Commitment Lenders shall agree;
(iii) If requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders an opinion or opinions, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, from counsel to the Borrowers and dated such date;
(iv) A Revolving Credit Note (to the extent requested) will be issued at the Borrowers expense, to each such Additional Commitment Lender, to be in conformity with the requirements of SECTION 2.07 (with appropriate modification) to the extent necessary to reflect the new Commitment of each Additional Commitment Lender; and
(v) The Borrowers and each Additional Commitment Lender shall have delivered such other instruments, documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably have requested in order to effectuate the documentation of the foregoing.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase (with each date of such effectiveness being referred to herein as a Commitment Increase Date), and at such time (i) the Commitments under, and for all purposes of, this Agreement shall be increased by the aggregate amount of such Commitment Increases, (ii) Schedule 1.1(a) shall be deemed modified, without further action, to reflect the revised Commitment Percentages of the Lenders and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed amended, without further action, to the extent necessary to reflect such increased Commitments.
(d) Other Provisions. In connection with Commitment Increases hereunder, the Lenders and the Borrowers agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) the Borrowers shall, in coordination with the Administrative Agent, (x)
60
repay outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of certain Lenders, and obtain Revolving Credit Loans from certain other Lenders (including the Additional Commitment Lenders), or (y) take such other actions as reasonably may be required by the Administrative Agent, in each case to the extent necessary so that all of the Lenders effectively participate in each of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans pro rata on the basis of their Commitment Percentages (determined after giving effect to any increase in the Commitments pursuant to this SECTION 2.02), and (ii) the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders any costs of the type referred to in SECTION 2.16(c) in connection with any repayment and/or Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to preceding clause (i). Without limiting the obligations of the Borrowers provided for in this SECTION 2.02, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will use their best efforts to attempt to minimize the costs of the type referred to in SECTION 2.16(c) which the Borrowers would otherwise incur in connection with the implementation of an increase in the Commitments.
SECTION 2.03 Reserves; Changes to Reserves.
(a) The initial Inventory Reserves and Availability Reserves as of the Effective Date are as set forth in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered pursuant to SECTION 4.01(d) hereof.
(b) The Administrative Agent may hereafter establish additional Reserves or change any of the foregoing Reserves, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment acting in accordance with industry standards for asset based lending in the retail industry, provided that such Reserves shall not be established or changed except upon not less than six (6) Business Days notice to the Borrowers (during which period the Agents shall be available to discuss any such proposed Reserve with the Borrowers).
SECTION 2.04 Making of Revolving Credit Loans.
(a) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.09, SECTION 2.10 and SECTION 2.11, Revolving Credit Loans (other than Swingline Loans) shall be either Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans as the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may request (which request shall substantially be made in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C) subject to and in accordance with this SECTION 2.04. All Swingline Loans shall be only Prime Rate Loans. All Revolving Credit Loans made pursuant to the same Borrowing shall, unless otherwise specifically provided herein, be Revolving Credit Loans of the same Type. Each Lender may fulfill its Commitment with respect to any Revolving Credit Loan by causing any lending office of such Lender to make such Revolving Credit Loan; provided, however, that any such use of a lending office shall not affect the obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with the terms of the applicable Revolving Credit Note. Each Lender shall, subject to its overall policy considerations, use reasonable efforts to select a lending office which will not result in the payment of increased costs by the Borrowers. Subject to the other provisions of this SECTION 2.04 and the provisions of SECTION 2.11, Borrowings of Revolving Credit Loans of more than one Type may be incurred at the same time, but in any event no more than ten (10) Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding at
61
any time and no more than two (2) Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of less than one (1) month may be selected by the Lead Borrower in any thirty (30) day period.
(b) The Lead Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent (w) three (3) Business Days prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, and (x) one (1) Business Days prior telephonic notice (thereafter confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans by the Borrowers. Any such notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, and one Business Day in the case of Prime Rate Loans, prior to the date on which such Borrowing is to be made. Such notice shall be irrevocable (except to the extent set forth in SECTION 2.10 or SECTION 2.11 hereof), shall contain disbursement instructions and shall specify: (i) whether the Borrowing then being requested is to be a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans and, if LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period with respect thereto; (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000, but not less than $5,000,000 in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans; and (iii) the date of the proposed Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day). If no election of Interest Period is specified in any such notice for a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, such notice shall be deemed a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month. If no election is made as to the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, such notice shall be deemed a request for Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its proportionate share of such Borrowing, the date of such Borrowing, the Type of Borrowing being requested and the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto, as appropriate. On the borrowing date specified in such notice, each Lender shall make its share of the Borrowing available at the office of the Administrative Agent at 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 no later than 3:00 p.m., in immediately available funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lenders share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with this SECTION 2.04 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In the event a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, with interest thereon for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to Prime Rate Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lenders Revolving Credit Loan included in such Borrowing. Upon receipt of the funds made available by the Lenders to fund any borrowing hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall disburse such funds in the manner specified in the notice of borrowing delivered by
62
the Lead Borrower and shall use reasonable efforts to make the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrowers no later than 5:00 p.m.
(c) To the extent not paid by the Borrowers when due (after taking into consideration any applicable grace period), the Administrative Agent, without the request of the Lead Borrower, may advance any interest, fee payable pursuant to SECTION 2.19 or other payment to which any Credit Party is entitled from the Loan Parties pursuant hereto or any other Loan Document and may charge the same to the Loan Account notwithstanding that an Overadvance may result thereby. The Administrative Agent shall advise the Lead Borrower of any such advance or charge promptly after the making thereof. Such action on the part of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a waiver of the Administrative Agents rights and the Borrowers obligations under SECTION 2.17(A). Any amount which is added to the principal balance of the Loan Account as provided in this SECTION 2.04(c) shall bear interest at the interest rate then and thereafter applicable to Prime Rate Loans.
SECTION 2.05 Overadvances.
(a) The Agents and the Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Revolving Credit Loan (including, without limitation, any Swingline Loan) or to provide any Letter of Credit if an Overadvance would result.
(b) The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, make Permitted Overadvances to the Borrowers without the consent of the Lenders and each Lender shall be bound thereby. Any Permitted Overadvances may constitute Swingline Loans. The making of a Permitted Overadvance is for the benefit of the Borrowers and shall constitute a Revolving Credit Loan and an Obligation. The making of any such Permitted Overadvance on any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make or permit any Permitted Overadvance on any other occasion or to permit such Permitted Overadvances to remain outstanding.
(c) The making by the Administrative Agent of a Permitted Overadvance shall not modify or abrogate any of the provisions of SECTION 2.13(f) regarding the Lenders obligations to purchase participations with respect to Letter of Credit Disbursements or SECTION 2.22 regarding any Lenders reimbursement obligations with respect to Swingline Loans.
SECTION 2.06 Swingline Loans
(a) The Swingline Lender is authorized by the Lenders, and shall make, Swingline Loans at any time (subject to SECTION 2.06(b)) to the Borrowers up to the amount of the sum of (i) the Swingline Loan Ceiling, upon a notice of Borrowing from Lead Borrower received by the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender (which notice, at the Swingline Lenders discretion, may be submitted prior to 3:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which such Swingline Loan is requested), plus (ii) any Permitted Overadvances; provided that the Swingline Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swingline Loan in its reasonable discretion if any Lender at such time is a Deteriorating
63
Lender, unless the Swingline Lender has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Swingline Lenders risk of full reimbursement with respect to such Swingline Loan. Swingline Loans shall be Prime Rate Loans and shall be subject to periodic settlement with the Lenders under SECTION 2.22 below.
(b) The Lead Borrowers request for a Swingline Loan shall be deemed a representation that the applicable conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 are satisfied (unless such conditions have been waived). If the conditions for borrowing under SECTION 4.02 cannot in fact be fulfilled, (x) the Lead Borrower shall give immediate notice (a Noncompliance Notice) thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Swingline Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide each Lender with a copy of the Noncompliance Notice, and (y) the Required Lenders may direct the Swingline Lender to, and the Swingline Lender thereupon shall, cease making Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) until such conditions can be satisfied or are waived in accordance with SECTION 9.02. Unless the Required Lenders so direct the Swingline Lender, the Swingline Lender may, but is not obligated to, continue to make Swingline Loans commencing one (1) Business Day after the Non-Compliance Notice is furnished to the Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Swingline Loans (other than Permitted Overadvances) shall be made pursuant to this SECTION 2.06(b) if the Total Outstandings would exceed the limitations set forth in SECTION 2.01.
SECTION 2.07 Notes.

(d) Upon receipt of an affidavit and indemnity of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lenders Note and upon cancellation of such Note, the
64
Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of such Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and otherwise of like tenor at such Lenders expense.
SECTION 2.08 Interest on Revolving Credit Loans.
(a) Subject to SECTION 2.12, each Prime Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the then Prime Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Prime Rate Loans.
(b) Subject to SECTION 2.09 through SECTION 2.12, each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days) at a rate per annum equal, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans.
(c) Accrued interest on all Revolving Credit Loans shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto, at the Termination Date and after the Termination Date on demand.
SECTION 2.09 Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Credit Loans.
(a) The Lead Borrower shall have the right at any time, on three (3) Business Days prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which notice, to be effective, must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day preceding the date of any conversion), (i) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of Prime Rate Loans to Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans, or (ii) to continue an outstanding Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period, or (iii) to convert any outstanding Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans to a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, subject in each case to the following:
(i) No Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans may be converted into, or continued as, LIBOR Rate Loans at any time when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (nothing contained herein being deemed to obligate the Borrowers to incur Breakage Costs upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default unless the Obligations are accelerated);
(ii) If less than a full Borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans is converted, such conversion shall be made pro rata among the Lenders based upon their Commitment Percentages in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans comprising such Borrowing held by such Lenders immediately prior to such conversion;
(iii) The aggregate principal amount of Prime Rate Loans being converted into or continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral of $1,000,000 and at least $5,000,000;
65
(iv) Each Lender shall effect each conversion by applying the proceeds of its new LIBOR Rate Loan or Prime Rate Loan, as the case may be, to its Revolving Credit Loan being so converted;
(v) The Interest Period with respect to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans effected by a conversion or in respect to the Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans being continued as LIBOR Rate Loans shall commence on the date of conversion or the expiration of the current Interest Period applicable to such continuing Borrowing, as the case may be;
(vi) A Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the applicable Borrower pays all Breakage Costs incurred in connection with such conversion;
(vii) In no event shall more than ten (10) Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans be outstanding at any time or more than two (2) Borrowings of LIBOR Rate Loans having an Interest Period of less than one (1) month be selected by the Lead Borrower in any thirty (30) day period; and
(viii) Each request for a conversion or continuation of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans which fails to state an applicable Interest Period shall be deemed to be a request for an Interest Period of one (1) month.
(b) If the Lead Borrower does not give notice to convert any Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, or does not give notice to continue, or does not have the right to continue, any Borrowing as LIBOR Rate Loans, in each case as provided in SECTION 2.09(a) above, such Borrowing shall automatically be converted to, or continued as, as applicable, a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans, at the expiration of the then-current Interest Period. The Administrative Agent shall, after it receives notice from the Lead Borrower, promptly give each Lender notice of any conversion, in whole or part, of any Revolving Credit Loan made by such Lender.
SECTION 2.10 Alternate Rate of Interest for Revolving Credit Loans.
If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a LIBOR Borrowing, the Administrative Agent:
(A) reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBOR Rate (in accordance with the terms of the definition thereof) for such Interest Period; or
(B) is advised by the Required Lenders that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Required Lenders of making or maintaining their Revolving Credit Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;
66
then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lead Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Lead Borrower and the applicable Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice the Administrative Agent shall deliver promptly upon obtaining knowledge of the same), (i) any Borrowing Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a LIBOR Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a LIBOR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as a Borrowing of Prime Rate Loans unless withdrawn by the Lead Borrower.
SECTION 2.11 Change in Legality.
(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, if any Change in Law occurring after the Effective Date shall make it unlawful for a Lender to make or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan or to give effect to its obligations as contemplated hereby with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan, then, by written notice to the Lead Borrower, such Lender may (x) declare that LIBOR Rate Loans will not thereafter be made by such Lender hereunder, whereupon any request by the Lead Borrower for a LIBOR Borrowing shall, as to such Lender only, be deemed a request for a Prime Rate Loan unless such declaration shall be subsequently withdrawn; and (y) require that all outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender be converted to Prime Rate Loans, in which event all such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be automatically converted to Prime Rate Loans as of the effective date of such notice as provided in SECTION 2.09(b). In the event any Lender shall exercise its rights hereunder, all payments and prepayments of principal which would otherwise have been applied to repay the LIBOR Rate Loans that would have been made by such Lender or the converted LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender, shall instead be applied to repay the Prime Rate Loans made by such Lender in lieu of, or resulting from the conversion of, such LIBOR Rate Loans.
(b) For purposes of this SECTION 2.11, a notice to the Lead Borrower pursuant to SECTION 2.11(a) above shall be effective, if lawful, and if any LIBOR Rate Loans shall then be outstanding, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period; and otherwise such notice shall be effective on the date of receipt by the Lead Borrower.
SECTION 2.12 Default Interest.
Effective upon written notice from the Administrative Agent (which notice shall be given only at the direction of the Required Lenders after the occurrence of any Specified Default) and at all times thereafter while such Specified Default is continuing, interest shall accrue on all Loans and other amounts owing by the Borrowers (after as well as before judgment, as and to the extent permitted by law) at a rate per annum (computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days as applicable) (the Default Rate) equal to the rate (including the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Loans, as applicable) in effect from time to time plus two percent (2.00%) per annum and such interest shall be payable on demand.
SECTION 2.13 Letters of Credit.
67
(a) Upon the terms and subject to the conditions herein set forth, at any time and from time to time after the date hereof and prior to the Termination Date, the Lead Borrower on behalf of the Borrowers may request an Issuing Bank to issue, and subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the applicable Issuing Bank shall issue, for the account of the relevant Borrower, one or more Letters of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued if after giving effect to such issuance (i) the aggregate Letter of Credit Outstandings shall exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit, or (ii) the Total Outstandings would exceed the limitations set forth in SECTION 2.01(a) provided, further, that no Letter of Credit shall be issued unless an Issuing Bank shall have received notice from the Administrative Agent that the conditions to such issuance have been met (such notice shall be deemed given (x) if the Issuing Bank has not received notice that the conditions have not been met within two Business Days of the initial request to the Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent pursuant to SECTION 2.13(h), or (y) if the aggregate undrawn amount under Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank then outstanding does not exceed the amount theretofore agreed to by the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank); and provided further that an Issuing Bank shall not be required to issue any such Letter of Credit in its reasonable discretion if: (A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain the Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Applicable Law relating to the Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over the Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that the Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which the Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Effective Date, or shall impose upon the Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Effective Date and which the Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (B) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally, or (C) any Lender is at such time a Deteriorating Lender hereunder, unless the Issuing Bank has entered into satisfactory arrangements with the Borrowers or such Lender to eliminate the Issuing Banks risk of full reimbursement with respect to such Letter of Credit. A permanent reduction of the Total Commitments shall not require a corresponding pro rata reduction in the Letter of Credit Sublimit; provided, however, that if the Total Commitments are reduced to an amount less than the Letter of Credit Sublimit, then the Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be reduced to an amount equal to (or, at Lead Borrowers option, less than) the Total Commitments. Any Issuing Bank (other than Bank of America or any of its Affiliates) shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing on each Business Day of all Letters of Credit issued on the prior Business Day by such Issuing Bank, provided that (A) until the Administrative Agent advises any such Issuing Bank that the provisions of SECTION 6.10 have been or would be violated, or (B) the aggregate amount of the Letters of Credit issued in any such week exceeds such amount as shall be agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be required to so notify the Administrative Agent in writing only once each week of the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the immediately preceding week as well as the daily amounts outstanding for the prior week, such notice
68
to be furnished on such day of the week as the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank may agree.
(b) Each Standby Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or such other longer period of time as the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank may agree) (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one (1) year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) unless cash collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (in which case, the expiry may extend no longer than twelve months after the Maturity Date), five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date; provided, however, that each Standby Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Lead Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of twelve (12) months or less (but not beyond the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date unless cash collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (in which case, the expiry may extend no longer than twelve months after the Maturity Date)) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof at least thirty (30) days prior to the then-applicable expiration date that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed.
(c) Each Commercial Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of the date which is (i) one (1) year after the date of the issuance of such Commercial Letter of Credit (or such other period as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank) and (ii) unless cash collateralized or otherwise credit supported to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank (in which case, the expiry may extend no longer than twelve months after the Maturity Date), five (5) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.
(d) Drafts drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be reimbursed by the Borrowers by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such drawing not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Lead Borrower receives notice of such drawing and demand for payment by the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that (i) in the absence of written notice to the contrary from the Lead Borrower, and subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, such payments shall be financed when due with a Prime Rate Loan (which may be a Swingline Loan) to the applicable Borrower in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the respective Borrowers obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the resulting Prime Rate Loan or Swingline Loan, and (ii) in the event that the Lead Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent that it will not so finance any such payments, the applicable Borrowers will make payment directly to the applicable Issuing Bank when due. The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit the proceeds from any Loans made pursuant to clause (i) above in reimbursement of a draw under a Letter of Credit to the applicable Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative
69
Agent and the Lead Borrower by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make payment thereunder; provided, however, that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such payment.
(e) If any Issuing Bank shall make any Letter of Credit Disbursement, then, unless the applicable Borrowers shall reimburse such Issuing Bank in full on the date provided in SECTION 2.13(d) above, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest at the rate per annum then applicable to Prime Rate Loans (except as set forth in the immediately succeeding sentence) for each day from and including the date such payment is made to, but excluding, the date that such Borrowers reimburse such Issuing Bank therefor, provided, however, that, if such Borrowers fail to reimburse any Issuing Bank when due pursuant to this SECTION 2.13(e), then interest shall accrue at the Default Rate. Interest accrued pursuant to this paragraph shall be for the account of, and promptly remitted by the Administrative Agent, upon receipt to, the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.13(g) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be calculated, with respect to such Lender, at the rate per annum then applicable to Prime Rate Loans.
(f) Immediately upon the issuance of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Bank (or the amendment of a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof), and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold to each Lender, and each such Lender shall be deemed unconditionally and irrevocably to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lenders Commitment Percentage, in such Letter of Credit, each drawing thereunder and the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect thereto. Upon any change in the Total Commitments pursuant to SECTION 2.02, SECTION 2.15, SECTION 2.17 or SECTION 9.04 of this Agreement, it is hereby agreed that with respect to all Letter of Credit Outstandings, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations hereby created to reflect the new Commitment Percentages of the assigning and assignee Lenders and the Additional Commitment Lenders, if applicable. Any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with a Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create for such Issuing Bank any resulting liability to any Lender.
(g) In the event that any Issuing Bank makes any Letter of Credit Disbursement and the Borrowers shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to such Issuing Bank pursuant to this SECTION 2.13, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Lender, of such failure, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank the amount of such Lenders Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment in dollars and in same day funds. If the applicable Issuing Bank so notifies the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent so notifies the Lenders prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, each such Lender shall make available
70
to the applicable Issuing Bank such Lenders Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in same day funds (or if such notice is received by the Lenders after 11:00 a.m. on the day of receipt, payment shall be made on the immediately following Business Day in same day funds). If and to the extent such Lender shall not have so made its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such payment available to the applicable Issuing Bank, such Lender agrees to pay to such Issuing Bank forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. Each Lender agrees to fund its Commitment Percentage of such unreimbursed payment notwithstanding a failure to satisfy any applicable lending conditions or the provisions of SECTION 2.01 or SECTION 2.06, or the occurrence of the Termination Date. The failure of any Lender to make available to the applicable Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit shall neither relieve any Lender of its obligation hereunder to make available to such Issuing Bank its Commitment Percentage of any payment under any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, nor increase the obligation of such other Lender. Whenever any Lender has made payments to any Issuing Bank in respect of any reimbursement obligation for any Letter of Credit, such Lender shall be entitled to share ratably, based on its Commitment Percentage, in all payments and collections thereafter received on account of such reimbursement obligation.
(h) Whenever the Lead Borrower desires that any Issuing Bank issue a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension (other than automatic renewal or extensions) of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Lead Borrower shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent at least two (2) Business Days prior written (including, without limitation, by telegraphic, telex, facsimile or cable communication) notice (or such shorter period as may be agreed upon in writing by such Issuing Bank and the Lead Borrower) specifying the date on which the proposed Letter of Credit is to be issued, amended, renewed or extended (which shall be a Business Day), the Stated Amount of the Letter of Credit so requested, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof, and the provisions thereof. If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Lead Borrower shall also submit documentation on such Issuing Banks standard form in connection with any request for the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit, provided that in the event of a conflict or inconsistency between the terms of such documentation and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall supersede any inconsistent or contrary terms in such documentation and this Agreement shall control.
(i) Subject to the limitations set forth below, the obligations of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuing Banks for any Letter of Credit Disbursement shall be unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including, without limitation (it being understood that any such payment by the Borrowers shall be without prejudice to, and shall not constitute a waiver of, any rights the Borrowers might have or might acquire hereunder as a result of the payment by the applicable Issuing Bank of any draft or the reimbursement by the Borrowers thereof): (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of a
71
Letter of Credit; (ii) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which a Borrower may have at any time against a beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or against any Issuing Bank or any of the Lenders, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be forged or fraudulent in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; (iv) payment by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand, draft or certificate or other document which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.13, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Loan Partys obligations hereunder; or (vi) the fact that any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; provided, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to reimburse any Issuing Bank to the extent that such payment was made in error due to the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction). No Credit Party shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse such Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Banks failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction or another independent tribunal having jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination. In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the applicable Issuing Bank may, in its reasonable discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit.
(j) If any Specified Default shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day that the Lead Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent (which notice may be given at the election of the Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this paragraph, the applicable Loan Parties shall immediately deposit in the applicable Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings owing by
72
such Loan Parties as of such date, plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon. Each such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent for the payment and performance of the Obligations. The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such Cash Collateral Account. Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Lead Borrower and at the Borrowers risk and expense), such deposits shall not bear interest. Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for payments on account of drawings under Letters of Credit for which it has not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the Letter of Credit Outstandings at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Credit Loans has been accelerated, shall be applied to satisfy the other respective Obligations of the applicable Borrower. If the applicable Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence and continuance of a Specified Default, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned promptly to the respective Borrower but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after all Specified Defaults have been cured or waived.
SECTION 2.14 Increased Costs.
(a) If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any holding company of any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or any Issuing Bank; or
(ii) impose on any Lender or any Issuing Bank or the London interbank market any other condition affecting LIBOR Rate Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Revolving Credit Loan) or to increase the cost in any material amount in excess of those incurred by similarly situated lenders to such Lender or any Issuing Bank of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce the amount in any material respect of any sum received or receivable by such Lender or such Issuing Bank hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lenders or such Issuing Banks capital or on the capital of such Lenders or
73
such Issuing Banks holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Revolving Credit Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company would have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lenders or such Issuing Banks policies and the policies of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lenders or such Issuing Banks holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c) A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this SECTION 2.14 and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount or amounts were determined shall be delivered to the Lead Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt thereof.
(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this SECTION 2.14 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or any Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lenders or such Issuing Banks intention to claim compensation therefor, and provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.
SECTION 2.15 Termination or Reduction of Commitments.
(a) Upon at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Borrower may, at any time, in whole permanently terminate, or from time to time in part permanently reduce, the Commitments. Each such reduction shall be in the principal amount of $5,000,000 or any integral multiple thereof. Each such reduction or termination shall (i) be applied ratably to the Commitments of each Lender and (ii) be irrevocable at the effective time of any such termination or reduction. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for application as provided herein (i) at the effective time of any such termination (but not any partial reduction), all earned and unpaid fees under the Fee Letter and all Unused Fees accrued on the Commitments so terminated, and (iii) at the effective time of any such reduction or termination, any amount by which the Total Outstandings on such date exceed the amount to which the Commitments are to be reduced effective on such date.
74
(b) Upon the Termination Date, the Commitments of the Lenders and the credit facility provided hereunder shall be terminated in full and the Borrowers shall pay, in full and in cash, all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and all other outstanding Obligations then owing by them to the Lenders.
SECTION 2.16 Optional Prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans; Reimbursement of Lenders.
(a) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay without premium or penalty (but subject to payment of Breakage Costs as provided in SECTION 2.16(b) below) (without a commitment reduction) outstanding Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part, (x) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, upon at least two (2) Business Days prior written, telex or facsimile notice to the Administrative Agent, prior to 12:00 p.m., and (y) with respect to Prime Rate Loans, on the same Business Day if written, telex or facsimile notice is received by the Administrative Agent prior to 12:00 p.m., subject in each case to the following limitations:
(i) Subject to SECTION 2.17, all prepayments shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for application (except as otherwise directed by the applicable Borrower), first, to the prepayment of outstanding Swingline Loans, second, to the prepayment of other outstanding Revolving Credit Loans ratably in accordance with each Lenders Commitment Percentage, and third, if a Specified Default then exists, to the funding of a cash collateral deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to 103% of all Letter of Credit Outstandings;
(ii) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans of the Borrowers shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans of the Borrowers are prepaid (except as otherwise directed by the Lead Borrower). Each partial prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (but in no event less than $10,000,000). No prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.16 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrowers reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $5,000,000 (unless all such outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans are being prepaid in full); and
(iii) Each notice of prepayment shall specify the prepayment date, the principal amount and Type of the Revolving Credit Loans to be prepaid and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which such Revolving Credit Loans were made. Each notice of prepayment shall be revocable, provided that, within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written
75
demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated with the revocation of any notice of prepayment. The Administrative Agent shall, promptly after receiving notice from the Lead Borrower hereunder, notify each applicable Lender of the principal amount and Type of the Revolving Credit Loans held by such Lender which are to be prepaid, the prepayment date and the manner of application of the prepayment.
(b) The Borrowers shall reimburse each Lender as set forth below for any loss incurred or to be incurred by the Lenders in the reemployment of the funds (i) resulting from any prepayment (for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, conversion to Prime Rate Loans or acceleration by virtue of, and after, the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) of any LIBOR Rate Loan required or permitted under this Agreement, if such Revolving Credit Loan is prepaid other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan or (ii) in the event that after the Lead Borrower delivers a notice of borrowing under SECTION 2.04 in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, such Revolving Credit Loans are not made on the first day of the Interest Period specified in such notice of borrowing for any reason other than a breach by such Lender of its obligations hereunder or the delivery of any notice pursuant to SECTION 2.09, SECTION 2.10 or SECTION 2.11, or (iii) in the event that after a Borrower delivers a notice of commitment reduction under SECTION 2.15 or a notice of prepayment under SECTION 2.16 in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, such commitment reductions or such prepayments are not made on the day specified in such notice of reduction or prepayment. Such loss shall be the amount (herein, collectively, Breakage Costs) as reasonably determined by such Lender as the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on the amount so paid, not prepaid or not borrowed at a rate of interest equal to the Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Revolving Credit Loan (but specifically excluding any Applicable Margin), for the period from the date of such payment or failure to borrow or failure to prepay to the last day (x) in the case of a payment or refinancing of a LIBOR Rate Loan with Prime Rate Loans other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan or the failure to prepay a LIBOR Rate Loan, of the then current Interest Period for such Revolving Credit Loan or (y) in the case of such failure to borrow, of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan which would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, over (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the London interbank market. Any Lender demanding reimbursement for such loss shall deliver to the Lead Borrower from time to time one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and such amounts shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.
(c) In the event the Borrowers fail to prepay any Revolving Credit Loan on the date specified in any prepayment notice delivered pursuant to SECTION 2.16(a) (whether or not such prepayment notice is revoked), the Borrowers, within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of the notice described below from any Lender, shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Lender, without duplication of any
76
Breakage Costs otherwise due, any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any loss incurred by such Lender as a result of such failure to prepay, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expenses (other than loss of profits) incurred by reason of the acquisition of deposits or other funds by such Lender to fulfill deposit obligations incurred in anticipation of such prepayment. Any Lender demanding such payment shall deliver to the Lead Borrower, from time to time, one or more certificates setting forth the amount of such loss as determined by such Lender and setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined and such amounts shall be due within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of such notice.
(d) Whenever any partial prepayment of Revolving Credit Loans are to be applied to LIBOR Rate Loans, such LIBOR Rate Loans shall be prepaid in the chronological order of their Interest Payment Dates or as the Lead Borrower may otherwise designate in writing.
SECTION 2.17 Mandatory Prepayment; Commitment Termination; Cash Collateral.
The outstanding Obligations shall be subject to prepayment as follows:
(A) If at any time the Total Outstandings causes Availability to be less than zero, the Borrowers will, immediately upon notice from the Administrative Agent: (x) prepay the Revolving Credit Loans in an amount necessary to eliminate such deficiency; and (y) if, after giving effect to the prepayment in full of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans such deficiency has not been eliminated, deposit cash into the Cash Collateral Account in an amount equal to 103% of the Letters of Credit Outstanding.
(B) The Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid daily in accordance with (and to the extent required under) the provisions of SECTION 2.18, to the extent then applicable.
(C) Any Net Proceeds received from a Prepayment Event, whether or not a Cash Dominion Event then exists, shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent on receipt by the Loan Parties and shall be utilized to prepay the Obligations in the order of priority set forth in SECTION 7.03. The Agents shall not be obligated to release their Liens on any Collateral included in such Prepayment Event until such Net Proceeds have been so received (to the extent required in this clause (c)). The application of such Net Proceeds to the Obligations shall not reduce the Total Commitments. If all Obligations then due are paid, any excess Net Proceeds shall be remitted to the operating account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent.
(D) Except as set forth in SECTION 2.17(C) and except during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any Net Proceeds, Cash
77
Receipts and other payments received by the Administrative Agent shall be applied as the Lead Borrower shall direct the Administrative Agent in writing.
(E) The Borrowers shall prepay the Obligations as required pursuant to SECTION 2.15 (b).
(F) Subject to the foregoing, outstanding Prime Rate Loans shall be prepaid before outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans are prepaid. No prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be permitted pursuant to this SECTION 2.17 other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, unless the Borrowers reimburse the Lenders for all Breakage Costs associated therewith within five (5) Business Days of receiving a written demand for such reimbursement which sets forth the calculation of such Breakage Costs in reasonable detail. In order to avoid such Breakage Costs, as long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, at the request of the Lead Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall hold all amounts required to be applied to LIBOR Rate Loans in the Cash Collateral Account and will apply such funds to the applicable LIBOR Rate Loans at the end of the then pending Interest Period therefor (provided that the foregoing shall in no way limit or restrict the Agents rights upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default). No partial prepayment of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans shall result in the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Rate Loans remaining outstanding pursuant to such Borrowing being less than $10,000,000. A prepayment of the Obligations pursuant to SECTION 2.16 or SECTION 2.17 shall not permanently reduce the Total Commitments.
(G) All credits against the Obligations shall be conditioned upon final payment to the Administrative Agent of the items giving rise to such credits. If any item credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Secured Parties against all claims and actual losses resulting from such dishonor or return.
SECTION 2.18 Cash Management.
(a) Within thirty (30) days of the occurrence of Specified Default, or immediately upon the occurrence of any other Cash Dominion Event, the Borrowers, upon the request of any Agent, shall deliver to the Agents a schedule of all DDAs, that to the knowledge of the Responsible Officers of the Loan Parties, are maintained by the Loan Parties, which Schedule includes, with respect to each depository (i) the name and address of such depository; (ii) the account number(s) maintained with such depository; and (iii) a contact person at such depository.
78
(b) Annexed hereto as Schedule 2.18(b) is a list describing, as of the Effective Date, all arrangements to which any Loan Party is a party with respect to the payment to such Loan Party of the proceeds of all credit card charges for sales by such Loan Party.
(c) On or prior to the Effective Date, to the extent not previously delivered, each Loan Party shall:
(i) deliver to the Collateral Agent notifications (each, a Credit Card Notification) substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G which have been executed on behalf of such Loan Party and addressed to such Loan Partys credit card clearinghouses and processors listed on Schedule 2.18(b); and
(ii) enter into a blocked account agreement (each, a Blocked Account Agreement), reasonably satisfactory to the Agents, with any Blocked Account Bank, including, without limitation, with respect to the deposit accounts existing as of the Effective Date listed on Schedule 2.18(c) attached hereto (collectively, the Blocked Accounts).
(d) Each Credit Card Notification and Blocked Account Agreement shall require, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event (and delivery of notice thereof from the Collateral Agent), the ACH or wire transfer on each Business Day (and whether or not there is then an outstanding balance in the Loan Account) of all available cash receipts (the Cash Receipts) to the concentration account maintained by the Administrative Agent at Bank of America (the Concentration Account), from:
(i) the sale of Inventory and other Collateral (whether or not constituting a Prepayment Event);
(ii) all proceeds of collections of Accounts (whether or not constituting a Prepayment Event);
(iii) all Net Proceeds on account of any Prepayment Event (other than, until the Term Loan Financing Facility is repaid in full, a Prepayment Event arising in connection with the Term Loan Priority Collateral);

(v) the cash proceeds of all credit card charges.
(e) If, at any time during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, any cash or cash equivalents owned by any Loan Party (other than petty cash accounts funded in the ordinary course of business, the deposits in which shall not aggregate more than $3,000,000 or exceed $10,000 with respect to any one account (or in each case, such greater amounts to which the Administrative Agent may agree), and payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts funded in the ordinary course of business and required by Applicable Law) are deposited to any account, or held or invested in any manner, otherwise than in a Blocked Account that is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement (or a DDA which is swept daily to a Blocked Account), the Collateral Agent
79
may require the applicable Loan Party to close such account and have all funds therein transferred to a Blocked Account, and all future deposits made to a Blocked Account which is subject to a Blocked Account Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Loan Parties shall provide the Collateral Agent with an accounting of the contents of the Blocked Accounts, which shall identify, to the satisfaction of the Collateral Agent, the proceeds from the Term Loan Priority Collateral which were deposited into a Blocked Account and swept to the Concentration Account. Upon the receipt of (x) the contents of the Blocked Accounts, and (y) such accounting, the Collateral Agent agrees, to the extent required by the Intercreditor Agreement, to promptly remit to the agent under the Term Loan Financing Facility the proceeds of the Term Loan Priority Collateral received by the Administrative Agent.
(f) The Loan Parties may close DDAs or Blocked Accounts and/or open new DDAs or Blocked Accounts, subject to the execution and delivery to the Collateral Agent of appropriate Blocked Account Agreements (except with respect to any payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts or unless expressly waived by the Collateral Agent) consistent with the provisions of this SECTION 2.18 and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. The Loan Parties shall furnish the Collateral Agent with prior written notice of their intention to open or close a Blocked Account and the Collateral Agent shall promptly notify the Lead Borrower as to whether the Collateral Agent shall require a Blocked Account Agreement with the Person with whom such account will be maintained. Unless consented to in writing by the Collateral Agent, the Borrowers shall not enter into any agreements with credit card processors other than the ones expressly contemplated herein unless contemporaneously therewith, a Credit Card Notification, is executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent.
(g) The Borrowers may also maintain one or more disbursement accounts (the Disbursement Accounts) to be used by the Borrowers for disbursements and payments (including payroll) in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder.
(h) During the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, the Concentration Account shall at all times be under the sole dominion and control of the Collateral Agent. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, (i) such Borrower has no right of withdrawal from the Concentration Account, (ii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall at all times continue to be collateral security for all of the Obligations, and (iii) the funds on deposit in the Concentration Account shall be applied as provided in this Agreement. In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this SECTION 2.18, during the continuation of a Cash Dominion Event, any Borrower receives or otherwise has dominion and control of any such proceeds or collections, such proceeds and collections shall be held in trust by such Borrower for the Collateral Agent, shall not be commingled with any of such Borrowers other funds or deposited in any account of such Borrower and shall promptly be deposited into the Concentration Account or dealt with in such other fashion as such Borrower may be instructed by the Collateral Agent.
80
(i) Any amounts received in the Concentration Account at any time when all of the Obligations then due have been and remain fully repaid shall be remitted to the operating account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent.
(j) The Collateral Agent shall promptly (but in any event within one Business Day) furnish written notice to each Person with whom a Blocked Account is maintained of any termination of a Cash Dominion Event.
(k) The following shall apply to deposits and payments under and pursuant to this Agreement:
(i) Funds shall be deemed to have been deposited to the Concentration Account on the Business Day on which deposited, provided that such deposit is available to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except that if the Obligations are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. on that Business Day);
(ii) Funds paid to the Administrative Agent, other than by deposit to the Concentration Account, shall be deemed to have been received on the Business Day when they are good and collected funds, provided that such payment is available to the Administrative Agent by 4:00 p.m. on that Business Day (except that if the Obligations or are being paid in full, by 2:00 p.m. on that Business Day);
(iii) If a deposit to the Concentration Account or payment is not available to the Administrative Agent until after 4:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such deposit or payment shall be deemed to have been made at 9:00 a.m. on the then next Business Day;
(iv) If any item deposited to the Concentration Account and credited to the Loan Account is dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, whether or not such return is rightful or timely, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to reverse such credit and charge the amount of such item to the applicable Loan Account and the Borrowers shall indemnify the Secured Parties against all out-of-pocket claims and losses resulting from such dishonor or return;
(v) All amounts received under this SECTION 2.18 shall be applied in the manner set forth in SECTION 2.17(f) and in the priority set forth in SECTION 7.03.

(b) The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, an aggregate fee (the Unused Fee) equal to 0.375% per annum (on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable) of the average daily
81
balance of their respective Unused Commitment, during the Fiscal Quarter just ended (or relevant period with respect to the payment being made through the first Fiscal Quarter ending after the Effective Date or on the Termination Date). The Unused Fee shall be paid in arrears, on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter after the execution of this Agreement and on the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall pay the Unused Fee to the Lenders upon the Administrative Agents receipt of the Unused Fee based upon their pro rata share of an amount equal to the aggregate Unused Fee to all Lenders.
(c) The Borrowers shall pay the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter and on demand after the Termination Date, in arrears, a fee calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as applicable and actual days elapsed (each, a Letter of Credit Fee), equal to the following per annum percentages of the average face amount of the following categories of Letters of Credit outstanding during the three month period then ended:
(i) Standby Letters of Credit: for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, at a per annum rate equal to the then Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans;
(ii) Commercial Letters of Credit: for the account of each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage, at a per annum rate equal to fifty percent (50%) of the then Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans;
(iii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of a Specified Default, at any time that the Administrative Agent is not holding in the Cash Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to 103% of the Letter of Credit Outstandings, as of such date, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, effective upon written notice from the Administrative Agent (which notice may be given at the election of the Administrative Agent or at the direction of the Required Lenders after the occurrence of any Specified Default), the Letter of Credit Fee shall be increased, at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, by an amount equal to two percent (2%) per annum.

Each such Fronting Fee shall be payable on the first day of each Fiscal Quarter and on demand after the Termination Date, in arrears.
(e) All fees shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent and other Credit Parties as provided herein. Once due, all fees shall be fully earned and shall not be refundable under any circumstances.
82
SECTION 2.20 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Account.
(a) The Administrative Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of the Borrowers (each, the Loan Account) which will reflect (i) all Revolving Credit Loans and other advances made by the Lenders to the Borrowers or for the Borrowers account, (ii) all Letter of Credit Disbursements, fees and interest that have become payable as herein set forth, and (iii) any and all other monetary Obligations that have become payable.
(b) The Loan Account will be credited with all amounts received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers or from other Persons for the Borrowers account, including all amounts received in the Concentration Account from the Blocked Account Banks during the continuance of a Cash Dominion Event, and the amounts so credited shall be applied as set forth in and to the extent required by SECTION 2.17 or 7.03, as applicable. After the end of each month, the Administrative Agent shall send to the Borrowers a statement accounting for the charges (including interest), loans, advances and other transactions occurring among and between the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrowers during that month. The monthly statements shall, absent manifest error, be deemed presumptively correct.
SECTION 2.21 Payments; Sharing of Setoff.
(a) The Borrowers shall make each payment required to be made hereunder or under any other Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of drawings under Letters of Credit, of amounts payable under SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.23, 9.03 or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without setoff or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 100 Federal Street, Boston, Massachusetts, except payments to be made directly to each Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to SECTIONS 2.14, 2.16(b), 2.23 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto and payments pursuant to other Loan Documents shall be made to the Persons specified therein. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment under any Loan Document shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, except with respect to LIBOR Borrowings, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, if any payment due with respect to LIBOR Borrowings shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, unless that succeeding Business Day is in the next calendar month, in which event, the date of such payment shall be on the last Business Day of subject calendar month, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension.
(b) All funds received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, fees and other
83
amounts then due hereunder, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of SECTION 2.17 or 7.03 ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal, unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit, interest, fees and other amounts then due to such respective parties. For purposes of calculating interest due to a Lender, that Lender shall be entitled to receive interest on the actual amount contributed by that Lender towards the principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans outstanding during the applicable period covered by the interest payment made by the Borrowers. Any net principal reductions to the Revolving Credit Loans received by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the Loan Documents during such period shall not reduce such actual amount so contributed, for purposes of calculation of interest due to that Lender, until the Administrative Agent has distributed to the applicable Lender its Commitment Percentage thereof.
(c) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Lead Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Banks hereunder that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the applicable Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
SECTION 2.22 Settlement Amongst Lenders
(a) The Swingline Lender may, at any time (but, in any event shall weekly, as provided in SECTION 2.22(b)), on behalf of the Borrowers (which hereby authorize the Swingline Lender to act on their behalf in that regard) request the Administrative Agent to cause the Lenders to make a Revolving Credit Loan (which shall be a Prime Rate Loan) in an amount equal to such Lenders Commitment Percentage of the outstanding amount of Swingline Loans made in accordance with SECTION 2.06, which request may be made regardless of whether the conditions set forth in Article IV have been satisfied. Upon such request, each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan for the account of the Swingline Lender. If the Swingline Lender requires a Revolving Credit Loan to be made by the Lenders and the request therefor is received prior to 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if the request therefor is received after 12:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each such Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand, such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such
84
date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
(b) In addition to the settlement of Swingline Loans set forth in clause (a) above, the amount of each Lenders Commitment Percentage of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans shall be computed weekly (or more frequently in the Administrative Agents discretion) and shall be adjusted upward or downward based on all Revolving Credit Loans and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans received by the Administrative Agent as of 3:00 p.m. on the first Business Day (such date, the Settlement Date) following the end of the period specified by the Administrative Agent.
(c) The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the Lenders promptly after a Settlement Date a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Revolving Credit Loans for the period and the amount of repayments received for the period. As reflected on the summary statement, (i) the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender its applicable Commitment Percentage of repayments, and (ii) each Lender shall transfer to the Administrative Agent (as provided below) or the Administrative Agent shall transfer to each Lender, such amounts as are necessary to insure that, after giving effect to all such transfers, the amount of Revolving Credit Loans made by each Lender with respect to Revolving Credit Loans to the Borrowers shall be equal to such Lenders applicable Commitment Percentage of Revolving Credit Loans outstanding as of such Settlement Date. If the summary statement requires transfers to be made to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders and is received prior to 12:00 p.m. on a Business Day, such transfers shall be made in immediately available funds no later than 3:00 p.m. that day; and, if received after 12:00 p.m., then no later than 3:00 p.m. on the next Business Day. The obligation of each Lender to transfer such funds is irrevocable, unconditional and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent. If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made its transfer to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.
SECTION 2.23 Taxes.
(a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, however, that if a Loan Party or an Agent or a Lender shall be required to deduct or remit any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) in the case of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions or remittances for such Taxes (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this SECTION 2.23) the applicable Credit Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the applicable withholding agent shall make such deductions and (iii) the applicable withholding agent shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
85
(b) In addition, the Loan Parties shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law.
(c) The Borrowers shall indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid or payable by such Credit Party on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of the Loan Parties hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this SECTION 2.23) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto to the extent not already paid by the Loan parties pursuant to SECTION 2.23(a); provided that if any Borrower reasonably believes that such Taxes were not correctly or legally asserted, each Lender will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with such Borrower to obtain a refund of such taxes so long as such efforts would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, result in any unreimbursed costs or expenses; provided further, that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate any Lender pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 for any amounts incurred in any fiscal year for which such Lender is claiming compensation if such Lender does not furnish notice of such claim within six (6) months from the end of such fiscal year; provided further, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then the beginning of such six month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by a Credit Party, or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Credit Party, setting forth in reasonable detail the manner in which such amount was determined, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Loan Party to a Governmental Authority, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(e) Each Lender shall (x) prior to the date hereof in the case of each Lender that is a signatory hereto (or the date of Assignment and Acceptance in the case of a Person that becomes a Lender after the date hereof) and (y) at such times as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, provide the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent with any documentation prescribed by law, or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, certifying as to any entitlement of such Lender to an exemption from, or reduction in, withholding tax with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender under the Loan Documents. Unless the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the applicable withholding agent has received forms or other documents indicating that payments under any Loan Document to or for a Lender are not subject to withholding tax or are subject to such tax at a rate reduced by an applicable tax treaty, the applicable Borrower, Administrative Agent or other applicable withholding agent shall withhold amounts required to be withheld by applicable law from such payments at the applicable statutory rate.
86
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(i) Each Lender that is a U.S. Person within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(3) of the Code (a Domestic Lender) shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement two properly completed and duly signed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S., federal backup withholding.
(ii) Each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or before the date on which it becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter when required by law or upon the reasonable request of the applicable Borrower or the Administrative Agent) whichever of the following is applicable:
a. two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States of America is a party;
b. two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms);
c. in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit M-1, or any other form approved by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower, to the effect that such Lender is not (A) a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a 10 percent shareholder of the Lead Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and that no payments in connection with the Loan Documents are effectively connected with such Lenders conduct of a U.S. trade or business and (y) two duly completed and executed original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form);
d. to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Foreign Lender is a partnership, or is a Participant holding a participation granted by a participating Lender), Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the
87
Lender, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, a certificate in the form of Exhibit M-2, M-3 or M-4 (as applicable), Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) or any other required information from each beneficial owner, as applicable (provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more beneficial owners are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, a certificate in a form approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower shall be provided by such Lender on behalf of such beneficial owner(s)); or
e. any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.
Each Lender shall, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of the forms described above, whenever a lapse in time or change in such Lenders circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence so delivered obsolete or inaccurate, promptly (1) deliver to the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) renewals, amendments or additional or successor forms, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, together with any other certificate or statement of exemption required in order to confirm or establish such Lenders status or that such Lender is entitled to an exemption from or reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax or (2) notify Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause (e), a Lender shall not be required to deliver any form that such Lender is not legally eligible to deliver.
(f) The Borrowers shall not be required to indemnify any Foreign Lender or to pay any additional amounts to any Foreign Lender in respect of U.S. Federal withholding tax pursuant to paragraph (a) or (c) above to the extent that the obligation to pay such additional amounts would not have arisen but for a failure by such Foreign Lender to comply with the provisions of paragraph (e) above. Should a Lender become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall, at such Lenders expense, take such steps as such Lender shall reasonably request to assist such Lender to recover such Taxes.
(g) If any Loan Party shall be required pursuant to this SECTION 2.23 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Credit Party to the extent that such Credit Party becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Effective Date (or, if applicable,
88
subsequent to the date such Person becomes a party to this Agreement) as a result of any change in the circumstances of such Credit Party (other than a change in Applicable Law), including without limitation a change in the residence, place of incorporation, principal place of business of such Credit Party or a change in the branch or lending office of such Credit Party, as the case may be, such Credit Party shall use reasonable efforts to avoid or minimize any amounts which might otherwise be payable pursuant to this SECTION 2.23; provided, however, that such efforts shall not include the taking of any actions by such Credit Party that would result in any tax, costs or other expense to such Credit Party (other than a tax, cost or other expense for which such Credit Party shall have been reimbursed or indemnified by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise) or any action which would or might in the reasonable opinion of such Credit Party have an adverse effect upon its business, operations or financial condition or otherwise be disadvantageous to such Credit Party.
(h) If the Administrative Agent or a Lender determines, in its good faith discretion, that it has received a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which any Borrower has paid additional amounts or indemnified a Credit Party pursuant to this SECTION 2.23, it shall pay over such refund with reasonable promptness following the date of its receipt thereof to such Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the such Borrower or other relevant Loan Party under this SECTION 2.23 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such Lender or Administrative Agent and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that such Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or Administrative Agent, agrees to promptly repay the amount paid over to such Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This SECTION 2.23 shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to such Borrower or any other Person.
(i) If a payment made to a Credit Party would be subject to United States federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Credit Party fails to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Credit Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by FATCA and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (A) a certification signed by the chief financial officer, principal accounting officer, treasurer or controller, and (B) other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Loan Parties to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Credit Party has complied with such applicable reporting requirements.
SECTION 2.24 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.
89
(a) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Revolving Credit Loans under SECTION 2.11, or if the Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Revolving Credit Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense. The Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be liable for such costs and expenses of a Lender requesting compensation if (i) such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement on a date after the Effective Date and (ii) the relevant Change in Law occurs on a date prior to the date such Lender becomes a party hereto.
(b) If any Lender requests compensation under SECTION 2.14 or cannot make Revolving Credit Loans under SECTION 2.11 for thirty (30) consecutive days, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to SECTION 2.23, or if any Lender is a Delinquent Lender or otherwise defaults in its obligation to fund Revolving Credit Loans hereunder, then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in SECTION 9.04), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided, however, that (i) the Lead Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Revolving Credit Loans and participations in unreimbursed drawings under Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under SECTION 2.14 or payments required to be made pursuant to SECTION 2.23, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
SECTION 2.25 Designation of Lead Borrower as Borrowers Agent.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrowers agent to obtain Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit, the proceeds of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for its agent, each Borrower
90
shall be obligated to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on account of Revolving Credit Loans so made and Letters of Credit so issued as if made directly by the Lenders to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit are recorded on the books and records of the Lead Borrower and of any other Borrower.
(b) Each Borrower represents to the Credit Parties that it is an integral part of a consolidated enterprise, and that each Loan Party will receive direct and indirect benefits from the availability of the joint credit facility provided for herein, and from the ability to access the collective credit resources of the consolidated enterprise which the Loan Parties comprise. Each Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers as if the Borrower which is so assuming and agreeing were each of the other Borrowers.
(c) The Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a Borrower) on whose behalf the Lead Borrower has requested a Revolving Credit Loan. None of the Agents nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application of such proceeds.
(d) The authority of the Lead Borrower to request Revolving Credit Loans and Letters of Credit on behalf of, and to bind, the Borrowers, shall continue unless and until the Administrative Agent actually receives written notice of: (i) the termination of such authority, and (ii) the subsequent appointment of a successor Lead Borrower, which notice is signed by the respective Financial Officers of each Borrower; and (iii) written notice from such successive Lead Borrower accepting such appointment and acknowledging that from and after the date of such appointment, the newly appointed Lead Borrower shall be bound by the terms hereof, and that as used herein, the term Lead Borrower shall mean and include the newly appointed Lead Borrower.
SECTION 2.26 Security Interests in Collateral.
To secure their Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers have granted (or shall grant) to the Collateral Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a first-priority security interest in (subject only to Permitted Encumbrances (x) having priority by operation of Applicable Law on all ABL Priority Collateral, (y) in favor of the agent under the Term Loan Financing on any Term Loan Priority Collateral) or (z) in favor of the agent ender the Qualifying Senior Secured Debt on any Qualifying Senior Collateral, all of the Collateral pursuant hereto and to the Security Documents, provided that the Collateral shall secure amounts owing with respect to Cash Management Services and the Other Liabilities of the Borrowers only to the extent provided in the Security Documents.
SECTION 2.27 Extension of Commitments.
91
(a) The Lead Borrower, with the prior consent of the Administrative Agent (so long as the Person acting as Administrative Agent has, in its capacity as a Lender, Commitments aggregating at least $50,000,000), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, may at any time and from time to time request that all or a portion of the Commitments of a given Class (each, an Existing Revolver Tranche) be amended to extend the Maturity Date with respect to all or a portion of any principal amount of such Commitments (any such Commitments which have been so amended, Extended Commitments) and to provide for other terms consistent with this SECTION 2.27; provided that (i) the Lead Borrower shall be permitted to make not more than six (6) such requests during the term hereof, and (ii) each Extension Series of Extended Commitments incurred under this SECTION 2.27 shall be in a minimum amount equal to $50,000,000. In order to establish any Extended Commitments, the Lead Borrower, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (so long as the Person acting as Administrative Agent has, in its capacity as a Lender, Commitments aggregating at least $50,000,000), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall provide a notice to each of the Lenders under the applicable Existing Revolver Tranche (each, an Extension Request) setting forth the proposed terms (which shall be determined in consultation with and subject to the prior approval of the Administrative Agent (so long as the Person acting as Administrative Agent has, in its capacity as a Lender, Commitments aggregating at least $50,000,000), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Extended Commitments to be established, which shall (x) be identical as offered to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and offered pro rata to each Lender under such Existing Revolver Tranche and (y) be identical to the Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche from which such Extended Commitments are to be amended, except that: (i) the maturity date of the Extended Commitments shall be later than the maturity date of the Commitments of such Existing Revolver Tranche, (ii) the Extension Amendment may provide for other covenants and terms that apply solely to any period after the Latest Maturity Date that is in effect on the effective date of the Extension Amendment (immediately prior to the establishment of such Extended Commitments); and (iii) all borrowings under the Commitments and repayments thereunder shall be made on a pro rata basis (except for (I) payments of interest and fees at different rates on Extended Commitments (and related outstandings), (II) repayments required upon the maturity date of the non-extending Commitments and (III) repayments, prepayments or payments of borrowings under the non-extending Commitments); provided, further, that (A) the conditions precedent to a Borrowing set forth in SECTION 4.02 shall be satisfied as of the date of such Extension Amendment and at the time when any Loans are made in respect of any Extended Commitment, (B) in no event shall the final maturity date of any Extended Commitments of a given Extension Series at the time of establishment thereof be earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date of any other Commitments hereunder, (C) any such Extended Commitments (and the Liens securing the same) shall be permitted by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement (to the extent the Intercreditor Agreement is then in effect) and (D) all documentation in respect of the such Extension Amendment shall be consistent with the foregoing in all material respects. Any Extended Commitments amended pursuant to any Extension Request shall be designated a series (each, an Extension Series) of Extended Commitments for all purposes of this Agreement; provided that any Extended Commitments amended from an Existing
92
Revolver Tranche may, to the extent provided in the applicable Extension Amendment, be designated as an increase in any previously established Extension Series with respect to such Existing Revolver Tranche.
(b) The Lead Borrower shall provide the applicable Extension Request at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior to the date on which Lenders under the Existing Revolver Tranche are requested to respond. The procedures to accomplish the purposes of this SECTION 2.27 shall be mutually agreed between the Lead Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in each case, acting reasonably. No Lender shall have any obligation to agree to provide any Extended Commitment pursuant to any Extension Request. Any Lender (each, an Extending Revolving Credit Lender) wishing to have all or a portion of its Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche subject to such Extension Request amended into Extended Commitments shall notify the Administrative Agent (each, an Extension Election) on or prior to the date specified in such Extension Request of the amount of its Commitment under the Existing Revolver Tranche which it has elected to request be amended into an Extended Commitment (subject to any minimum denomination requirements as mutually agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower). In the event that the aggregate principal amount of Commitments under the Existing Revolver Tranche in respect of which applicable Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Request exceeds the amount of Extended Commitments requested to be extended pursuant to the Extension Request, Commitments subject to Extension Elections shall be amended to reflect allocations of the Extended Commitments, which Extended Commitments shall be allocated as agreed by Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower.
(c) Following any Extension Request made by the Lead Borrower in accordance with this SECTION 2.27, if the Lenders shall have declined to agree during the period specified in SECTION 2.27(b) above to provide Extended Commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount requested by the Lead Borrower in such Extension Request, the Lead Borrower may request that banks, financial institutions or other institutional lenders or investors other than the Lenders or Extending Revolving Credit Lenders (the New Revolving Commitment Lenders), which New Revolving Commitment Lenders may elect to provide an Extended Commitment hereunder (a New Extended Commitment); provided that such Extended Commitments of such New Revolving Commitment Lenders (i) shall be in an aggregate principal amount for all such New Revolving Commitment Lenders not to exceed the aggregate principal amount of Extended Commitments so declined to be provided by the existing Lenders and (ii) shall be on identical terms to the terms applicable to the terms specified in the applicable Extension Request (and any Extended Commitments provided by existing Lenders in respect thereof); provided further that, as a condition to the effectiveness of any Extended Commitment of any New Revolving Commitment Lender, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to each New Revolving Commitment Lender if such consent would be required under SECTION 9.04(b) for an assignment of Commitments to such Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Extended Commitment provided by New Revolving Commitment Lenders shall be pro rata to each
93
New Revolving Commitment Lender. Upon effectiveness of the Extension Amendment to which each such New Revolving Commitment Lender is a party, (a) the Commitments of all existing Lenders of each Class specified in the Extension Amendment in accordance with this SECTION 2.27 will be permanently reduced pro rata by an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Extended Commitments of such New Revolving Commitment Lenders and (b) the Commitment of each such New Revolving Commitment Lender will become effective. The Extended Commitments of New Revolving Commitment Lenders will be incorporated as Commitments hereunder in the same manner in which Extended Commitments of existing Lenders are incorporated hereunder pursuant to this SECTION 2.27, and for the avoidance of doubt, all Borrowings and repayments of Revolving Credit Loans from and after the effectiveness of such Extension Amendment shall be made pro rata across all Classes of Commitments including such New Revolving Commitment Lenders (based on the outstanding principal amounts of the respective Classes of Commitments) except for (x) payments of interest and fees at different rates for each Class of Commitments (and related outstanding amounts), (y) repayments required on the Termination Date for any particular Class of Commitments and (z) payments, prepayments or repayments of the borrowings under any non-extending Commitments. Upon the effectiveness of each New Extended Commitment pursuant to this SECTION 2.27(c), (a) each Lender of all applicable existing Classes of Commitments immediately prior to such effectiveness will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each New Revolving Commitment Lender, and each such New Revolving Commitment Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Lenders participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the percentage of the outstanding (i) participations hereunder in Letters of Credit and (ii) participations hereunder in Swingline Loans held by each Lender of each Class of Commitments (including each such New Revolving Commitment Lender) will equal the percentage of the aggregate Commitments of all Classes of Lenders represented by such Lenders Commitment and (b) if, on the date of such effectiveness, there are any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding, such Revolving Credit Loans shall on or prior to the effectiveness of such New Extended Commitment be prepaid from the proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans made hereunder under the New Extended Commitments, which prepayment shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Credit Loans being prepaid and any Breakage Costs incurred by any Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
(d) Extended Commitments and New Extended Commitments shall be established pursuant to an amendment (each, an Extension Amendment) to this Agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Extending Revolving Credit Lender and each New Revolving Commitment Lender, if any, providing an Extended Commitment or a New Extended Commitment, as applicable, thereunder, which shall be consistent with the provisions set forth in SECTIONS 2.27(a), (b) and (c) above (but which shall not require the consent of any other Lender). The
94
effectiveness of any Extension Amendment shall be subject to the satisfaction on the date thereof of each of the conditions set forth in SECTION 4.02 and, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, receipt by the Administrative Agent of (i) legal opinions, board resolutions and officers certificates consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date and (ii) reaffirmation agreements and/or such amendments to the Security Documents as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent in order to ensure that the Extended Commitments or the New Extended Commitments, as the case may be, are provided with the benefit of the applicable Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each Extension Amendment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents may be amended pursuant to an Extension Amendment, without the consent of any other Lenders, to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to (i) reflect the existence and terms of the Extended Commitments or the New Extended Commitments, as the case may be, incurred pursuant thereto, (ii) make such other changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without the consent of the Required Lenders) and (iii) effect such other amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Lead Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section, and the Required Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any such Extension Amendment.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no conversion of Loans pursuant to any Extension Request in accordance with this SECTION 2.27 shall constitute a voluntary or mandatory payment or prepayment for purposes of this Agreement.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties

Each Loan Party is qualified to do business in, and is in good standing (where such concept exists) in, every jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the ownership or leasing of its properties makes
95
such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing individually or in the aggregate would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.01 annexed hereto sets forth, as of the Effective Date, each Loan Partys name as it appears in official filings in its state of incorporation or organization, its state of incorporation or organization, organization type, organization number, if any, issued by its state of incorporation or organization, and its federal employer identification number.

SECTION 3.04 Financial Condition.
The Lead Borrower has heretofore furnished to the Agents the Consolidated balance sheet, and statements of operations, stockholders equity, and cash flows for the Lead Borrower and its Subsidiaries (i) as of and for the Fiscal Year ended January 29, 2011, audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, independent public accountants, and (ii) as of and for the Fiscal Quarter ended April 30, 2011, certified by a Financial Officer of the Lead Borrower.

SECTION 3.05 Properties.
(a) Except as disclosed on Schedule 3.05(a), each Loan Party has title to, or valid leasehold interests in or right to use, all its real and personal property material to its business, except for defects which would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Schedule 3.05(b) sets forth with respect to each Loan Party a list of all registrations and issuances of the United States registered Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party and all applications for the registrations or issuance thereof as of the Effective Date. To the knowledge of each Loan Party, each such registration, issuance and application is subsisting except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of each Loan Party, the Intellectual Property owned by each Loan Party is valid and enforceable, and no proceeding is pending challenging the ownership, registration, validity, enforceability or use of any item of Intellectual Property except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party owns or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property used in its business, except to the extent that the failure to so own or have the right to use would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Loan Partys use of Intellectual Property owned by such Loan Party does not infringe upon, misappropriate, dilute or otherwise violate the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements, misappropriations, dilutions or other violations that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No proceeding is pending (or to the knowledge of each Loan Party, threatened) in which any Person is alleging that a Loan Party is infringing, misappropriating, diluting, or otherwise violating the Intellectual Property rights of any Person except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.06 Litigation and Environmental Matters.
(a) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(a), there are no actions, suits or proceedings by or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority pending against or, to the actual knowledge of Responsible Officers of a Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party (i) as to which there is a reasonable expectation of an
97
adverse determination which, if adversely determined, would reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to result in a Material Adverse Effect (other than Disclosed Matters) or (ii) that involve any of the Loan Documents.
(b) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(b), no Loan Party (i) has failed to comply with any Environmental Law or to obtain, maintain or comply with any permit, license or other approval required under any Environmental Law, (ii) has become subject to any Environmental Liability, (iii) has received written notice of any actual or potential claim with respect to any Environmental Liability or (iv) knows of any basis for any Environmental Liability, which, in each case, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(c) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(c), to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no Real Estate or facility owned, operated or leased by any Loan Party is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priorities List promulgated pursuant to CERCLA or similar state Superfund list except to the extent that such filings, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(d) Except as set forth on Schedule 3.06(d), no Lien has been recorded or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened under any Environmental Law with respect to any Real Estate of the Loan Parties, except to the extent such Lien, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(e) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not require any notification, registration, filing, reporting, disclosure, investigation, remediation or cleanup pursuant to any Governmental Real Estate Disclosure Requirements or any other applicable Environmental Law, except for any requirement the noncompliance with which could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(f) Since the Effective Date, there has been no change in the status of the Disclosed Matters that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.07 Compliance with Laws and Agreements.
Each Loan Party is in compliance with all Applicable Law and all Material Indebtedness, and no event of default has occurred and is continuing thereunder, except in each case where the failure to comply or the existence of a default, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Loan Party has obtained all permits, licenses and other authorizations which are required with respect to the ownership and operations of its business, except where the failure to obtain such permits, licenses or other authorizations, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party is in compliance with all terms and conditions of all such permits, licenses, orders and authorizations, except
98
where the failure to comply with such terms or conditions, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.08 Investment Company Status.
No Loan Party is an investment company as defined in, and subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
SECTION 3.09 Taxes.
Each Loan Party has timely filed or caused to be filed all tax returns and reports required to have been filed and has paid or caused to be paid all Taxes required to have been paid by it, except (a) Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings, for which such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP, and as to which no Lien has arisen or (b) to the extent that the failure to do so would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
SECTION 3.10 ERISA.
The Loan Parties and their ERISA Affiliates are in compliance with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code with respect to each Plan except as would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service and nothing has occurred subsequent to the issuance of such determination letter which would cause such Plan to lose its qualified status. Since the Effective Date, no ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken together with all other such ERISA Events for which liability is reasonably expected to occur, would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, except as set forth on Schedule 3.10.

133
Liabilities) shall have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency, and (iii) at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower (with the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any amounts payable to such Delinquent Lender hereunder (whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Delinquent Lender, be retained by the Administrative Agent as cash collateral, and may be utilized by the Administrative Agent, for future funding obligations of the Delinquent Lender in respect of any Revolving Credit Loan or existing or future participating interest in any Swingline Loan or Letter of Credit. The Delinquent Lenders decision-making and participation rights and rights to payments as set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) hereinabove shall be restored only upon the payment by the Delinquent Lender of its Commitment Percentage of any Obligations (other than Other Liabilities), any participation obligation, or expenses as to which it is delinquent, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date when originally due until the date upon which any such amounts are actually paid.
(b) The non-Delinquent Lenders shall also have the right, but not the obligation, in their respective, sole and absolute discretion, to cause the termination and assignment without any further action by the Delinquent Lender for no cash consideration (pro rata, based on the respective Commitments of those Lenders electing to exercise such right), the Delinquent Lenders Commitment to fund future Credit Extensions. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment Percentage of any Delinquent Lender, the Delinquent Lenders share in future Credit Extensions and its rights under the Loan Documents with respect thereto shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Delinquent Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest, including, if so requested, an Assignment and Acceptance. The Borrowers may, on ten (10) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Delinquent Lender, replace such Delinquent Lender (in its capacity as a Lender) by causing such Delinquent Lender to (and such Delinquent Lender shall be obligated to) assign (with the assignment fee to be paid by the Borrowers in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees.
(c) Each Delinquent Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each non-delinquent Lender from and against any and all loss, damage or expenses, including but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and funds advanced by the Administrative Agent or by any non-delinquent Lender, on account of a Delinquent Lenders failure to timely fund its Commitment Percentage of a Revolving Credit Loan or to otherwise perform its obligations under the Loan Documents.

134
and all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank), or (ii) constituting property being sold, transferred or disposed of in a Permitted Disposition upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Net Proceeds thereof to the extent required by this Agreement.

SECTION 9.04 Successors and Assigns.
141
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agents and the Lenders (and any such attempted assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of an Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, Indemnitees, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Any Lender may, with the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and, so long as no Specified Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lead Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than any Person in direct competition with a Loan Partys business) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans at the time owing to it); provided, however, that no such consent of either the Administrative Agent or the Lead Borrower shall be required in connection with any assignment to another Lender or to an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, and provided further that, each assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender, the amount of the Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans of the assigning Lender subject to a partial assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $10,000,000 or, if less, the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lenders Commitment or Revolving Credit Loans; (ii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lenders rights and obligations; and (iii) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00, unless such fee is waived by the Administrative Agent. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to SECTION 9.04(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this SECTION 9.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with SECTION 9.04(e). The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any effective assignment shall give rise to a direct obligation of the Loan
142
Parties to the assignee and that the assignee shall be considered to be a Credit Party for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at one of its offices in Boston, Massachusetts, a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and related interest amounts) of the Revolving Credit Loans and Letter of Credit Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and Credit Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement absent any manifest error, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the processing and recordation fee referred to in SECTION 9.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by SECTION 9.04(a), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Acceptance and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this SECTION 9.04(d).
(e) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Loan Parties or any other Person, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (other than any Person in direct competition with a Loan Partys business or to the Sponsor Group or any of their Affiliates unless the provisions relating to the Sponsor Group and its Affiliates set forth in the definition of Eligible Assignee are satisfied) (a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Revolving Credit Loans owing to it), subject to the following:
(i) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall remain unchanged;
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations;
(iii) the Loan Parties and other Credit Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement;
(iv) any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells a participation in the Commitments, the Revolving Credit Loans and the Letters of Credit Outstandings shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided, however, that such
143
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to SECTION 9.02(b)(ii)i or ii that affects such Participant;
(v) subject to clauses (viii) and (ix) of this SECTION 9.04(e), the Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.14 and SECTION 2.23 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to SECTION 9.04(b);
(vi) to the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 9.08 as though it were a Lender so long as such Participant agrees to be subject to SECTION 2.21(c) as though it were a Lender;
(vii) each Lender, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Loan Parties, shall maintain at its offices a record of each agreement or instrument effecting any participation and a register (each a Participation Register) meeting the requirements of 26 CFR §5f.103 1(c) for the recordation of the names and addresses of its Participants and their rights with respect to principal and interest amounts and other Obligations from time to time. The entries in each Participation Register shall be conclusive and the Loan Parties and the Credit Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in a Participant Register as a Participant for all purposes of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of entitlement to benefits under SECTION 2.14, SECTION 2.23, and SECTION 9.08). The Participation Register shall be available for inspection by the Lead Borrower and any Credit Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice;
(viii) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under SECTION 2.14 or SECTION 2.23 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Lead Borrowers prior written consent; and
(ix) a Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of SECTION 2.23 unless the Lead Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Loan Parties, to comply with SECTION 2.23(e) as though it were a Lender and such Participant is eligible for exemption from, or reduction in, the withholding Tax referred to therein, following compliance with SECTION 2.23(e).
(f) Any Credit Party may at any time pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Credit Party, including any pledge or grant to secure obligations to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under Section 4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. Section
144
341, and this SECTION 9.04 shall not apply to any such pledge or grant of a security interest; provided, however, that no such pledge or grant of a security interest shall release a Credit Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or grantee for such Credit Party as a party hereto.
(g) The Loan Parties authorize each Credit Party to disclose to any Participant or grantee and any prospective Participant or grantee, subject to the provisions of SECTION 9.15, any and all financial information in such Credit Partys possession concerning the Loan Parties which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Credit Party by or on behalf of the Loan Parties in connection with such Credit Partys credit evaluation of the Loan Parties prior to becoming a party to this Agreement.
SECTION 9.05 Survival.
All covenants, agreements, indemnities, representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Revolving Credit Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and, notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect until (i) the Commitments have expired or been terminated, (ii) the principal of and interest on each Revolving Credit Loan and all fees and other Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) shall have been paid in full, (iii) all Letters of Credit shall have expired or terminated (or been cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank) and (iv) all Letter of Credit Outstandings have been reduced to zero (or cash collateralized in a manner satisfactory to the applicable Issuing Bank).

In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral, the Agents, on behalf of themselves and the other Credit Parties, may require such indemnities as they shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed or revoked, (y) any obligations that may thereafter arise with respect to the Other Liabilities, and (z) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under SECTION 9.03 hereof.
SECTION 9.06 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and
145
supersede any and all contemporaneous or previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08 Right of Setoff.
If any Specified Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Secured Party, each Participant and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, but excluding any payroll, trust and tax withholding accounts) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Secured Party, Participant or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Loan Parties against any and all of the Obligations of the Loan Parties now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or other Loan Document to the extent such are then due and owing, although such Obligations may be otherwise fully secured; provided that such Secured Party shall provide the Lead Borrower with written notice promptly after its exercise of such right of setoff. The rights of each Secured Party under this SECTION 9.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Credit Party may have. No Credit Party will, or will permit its Participant to, exercise its rights under this SECTION 9.08 without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders.

SECTION 9.12 Headings.
Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 9.13 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Revolving Credit Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Revolving Credit Loan under Applicable Law (collectively, the Charges), shall be found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final order to exceed the maximum lawful rate (the Maximum Rate) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Lender holding such Revolving Credit Loan in accordance with Applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan hereunder, together with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect of such Revolving Credit Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Revolving Credit Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.
SECTION 9.14 Additional Waivers.
(a) The Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or under Applicable Law, (ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release of any Loan Party from, any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral or other security held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.
(b) The obligations of each Loan Party to pay the Obligations in full hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than the payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination
148
whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document).
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Loan Party, other than the payment in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. The Collateral Agent and the other Credit Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against any other Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder except to the extent that all the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and performed in full after the termination of Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. Pursuant to Applicable Law, each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to Applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.
(d) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each Borrower is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment in full in cash of all the Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations for then unasserted claims) and the termination of all Commitments to any Loan Party under any Loan Document. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited against the payment of the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, to the extent that any Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of
149
the Obligations constituting Revolving Credit Loans made to another Loan Party hereunder (an Accommodation Payment), then the Loan Party making such Accommodation Payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Loan Parties in an amount equal to a fraction of such Accommodation Payment, the numerator of which fraction is such other Loan Partys Allocable Amount and the denominator of which is the sum of the Allocable Amounts of all of the Loan Parties. As of any date of determination, the Allocable Amount of each Loan Party shall be equal to the maximum amount of liability for Accommodation Payments which could be asserted against such Loan Party hereunder without (a) rendering such Loan Party insolvent within the meaning of Section 101 (31) of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act (UFTA) or Section 2 of the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act (UFCA), (b) leaving such Loan Party with unreasonably small capital or assets, within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code, Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA, or (c) leaving such Loan Party unable to pay its debts as they become due within the meaning of Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or Section 4 of the UFTA, or Section 5 of the UFCA.
(e) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by any Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such Credit Partys rights of subrogation and reimbursement against such Loan Party by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. Each Loan Party waives all rights and defenses that such Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate which means, among other things: (i) a Credit Party may collect from any Loan Party without first foreclosing on any Real Estate or personal property Collateral pledged by a Loan Party; (ii) if any Credit Party forecloses on any Real Estate pledged by any Loan Party, the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that Real Estate is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the Real Estate is worth more than the sale price; and (iii) the Credit Parties may collect Obligations from a Loan Party even if a Credit Party, by foreclosing on any such Real Estate, has destroyed any right any Loan Party may have to collect from the other Loan Parties. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Loan Party may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Estate. These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Each Loan Party hereby absolutely, knowingly, unconditionally, and expressly waives any and all claim, defense or benefit arising directly or indirectly under any one or more of Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive of the California Civil Code or any similar law of California.
(f) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other waiver or other provision set forth in this Agreement, each Loan Party waives all rights under the provisions of Nevada Revised Statutes 40.430 to the extent the waiver is permitted by Nevada Revised Statutes 40.495 or other Applicable Law in order to allow the enforcement of the Obligations against each such Loan Party prior to exercising rights against any Collateral or any other Loan Party.
150
(g) Each Loan Party hereby agrees to keep each other Loan Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of its business, affairs, finances, and financial condition, and its ability to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect thereto. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to undertake to keep itself apprised at all times as to the status of the business, affairs, finances, and financial condition of each other Loan Party, and of the ability of each other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, and in particular as to any adverse developments with respect to any thereof. Each Loan Party hereby agrees, in light of the foregoing mutual covenants to inform each other, and to keep themselves and each other informed as to such matters, that the Credit Parties shall have no duty to inform any Loan Party of any information pertaining to the business, affairs, finances, or financial condition of any other Loan Party, or pertaining to the ability of any other Loan Party to perform its Obligations under the Loan Documents, even if such information is adverse, and even if such information might influence the decision of one or more of the Loan Parties to continue to be jointly and severally liable for, or to provide Collateral for, the Obligations of one or more of the other Loan Parties. To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Loan Party hereby expressly waives any duty of the Credit Parties to inform any Loan Party of any such information.
(h) Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that such Person does not have any offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against any Credit Party for any actions or omissions under the Existing Credit Agreement, and that if any such Person now has, or ever did have, any such offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims against any such Credit Party for any actions or omissions under the Existing Credit Agreement, or any of its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives, predecessors, successors, or permitted assigns, whether known or unknown, at law or in equity, from the Closing Date through the Effective Date, each such Person expressly WAIVES any such offsets, defenses, claims, or counterclaims, and each such Person expressly RELEASES each Credit Party and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives, predecessors, successors, and permitted assigns from any liability therefor.
SECTION 9.15 Confidentiality.
Each of the Credit Parties agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to their and their Affiliates directors, officers, employees and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors involved with the financing (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and agree to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority, (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or by any subpoena or similar legal process (the Credit Parties agreeing to furnish the Lead Borrower with notice of such process and an opportunity to contest such disclosure as long as furnishing such notice and opportunity would not result in the Credit Parties violation of Applicable Law), (d) to any other party to this Agreement, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of
151
this Section, to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement and any actual or prospective counterparty or advisors to any swap or derivative transactions relating to the Loan Parties and the Obligations so long as such Person or any of their Affiliates is not a competitor of any Loan Party, (g) with the consent of the Loan Parties, (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or to the knowledge of such Credit Party, the breach of any other Persons obligation to keep the information confidential, or (ii) becomes available to any Credit Party on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Loan Parties, or (i) to the extent that such Information is independently developed by such Credit Party. For the purposes of this Section, the term Information means all information received from or on behalf of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates relating to their business. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 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.
SECTION 9.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.
In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Loan Parties each acknowledge and agree that: (i) the credit facility provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arms-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other hand, and each of the Loan Parties is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or thereof); (ii) in connection with the process leading to such transaction, each Credit Party is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the financial advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person; (iii) none of the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates has assumed or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Loan Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document (irrespective of whether any of the Credit Parties or any of their respective Affiliates has advised or is currently advising any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates on other matters) and none of the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates has any obligation to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; (iv) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and none of the Credit Parties or their respective Affiliates has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (v) the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates have not provided and will not provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) and each of the Loan Parties has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate.

152

Each Credit Party hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the Act), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrowers, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower and other information that will allow such Credit Party to identify such Borrower in accordance with the Act.

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
Reference is made to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 2, 2011 (as modified, amended, supplemented or restated and in effect from time to time, the Credit Agreement) by and among (i) Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation, as a Borrower and as agent (in such capacity, the Lead Borrower) for the other Borrowers party thereto (collectively, with the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers), (ii) the other Borrowers party thereto, (iii) the Facility Guarantors party thereto, (iv) Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent), and as collateral agent (in such capacity the Collateral Agent, and collectively with the Administrative Agent, the Agents) for its own benefit and the benefit of the other Secured Parties, (v) Wells Fargo Capital Finance, LLC and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Co-Syndication Agents, (vi) SunTrust Bank and U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents, and (vii) the Lenders party thereto (collectively, the Lenders).

(the Assignor) and (the Assignee) agree as follows:
1. | The Assignor hereby sells and assigns to the Assignee, and the Assignee hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, that interest in and to the Assignors rights and obligations as a Lender under the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof which represents the applicable percentage interest(s) specified on Schedule I hereto of all outstanding rights and obligations of the Lenders under the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, such interest in each of the Assignors outstanding Commitments, if any, and the Revolving Credit Loans (and related Obligations) owing to it and its participations in Swingline Loans and Letters of Credit). After giving effect to such sale and assignment, the Assignors and the Assignees Commitments and the amount of the Loans owing to the Assignor and the Assignee and the amount of Letters of Credit participated in by the Assignor and the Assignee will be as set forth in Section 2 of Schedule I hereto. |

The ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each ABL Lender, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and each Term Lender, as applicable, each agree to hold all Control Collateral and Cash Collateral that is part of the Collateral in their respective possession, custody, or control (or in the possession, custody, or

In the event that (a) the Term Agent or any Term Lender receives any Collateral or Proceeds of the Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement, or (b) the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender receives any Collateral or Proceeds of the Collateral in violation of the terms of this Agreement, then the Term Agent, such Term Lender, the ABL Agent, or such ABL Lender, as applicable, shall promptly pay over such Proceeds or Collateral to (i) in the case of clause (a), the ABL Agent, or (ii) in the case of clause (b), the Term Agent, in each case, in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, for application in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

Section 3.4 Insurance. Proceeds of Collateral include insurance proceeds and, therefore, the Lien Priority shall govern the ultimate disposition of casualty insurance proceeds. The ABL Agent and the Term Agent each shall be named as additional insured or loss payee, as applicable, with respect to all insurance policies relating to Collateral. The ABL Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, as against the Term Agent, to adjust settlement of insurance claims in the event of any covered loss, theft or destruction of ABL Priority Collateral.

If any stay or other order that prohibits the ABL Agent and other ABL Secured Parties from commencing and continuing to Exercise Any Secured Creditor Remedies with respect to ABL Priority Collateral has been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction, such 120-day period shall be tolled during the pendency of any such stay or other order. The ABL Agent and the ABL Secured parties shall not be obligated to pay any amounts to the Term Agent or the Term Secured Parties (or any Person claiming by, through or under the Term Secured Parties, including any purchaser of the Term Priority Collateral) or to

The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, expressly acknowledges and agrees that (i) any ABL Credit Agreement includes a revolving commitment, that in the ordinary course of business the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders will apply payments and make advances thereunder, and that no application of any Payment Collateral or Cash Collateral or the release of any Lien by the ABL Agent upon any portion of the Collateral in connection with a permitted disposition under any ABL Credit Agreement shall constitute the Exercise of Secured Creditor Remedies under this Agreement; (ii) the amount of the ABL Obligations that may be outstanding at any time or from time to time may be increased or reduced and subsequently reborrowed, and that the terms of the ABL Obligations may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and that the aggregate amount of the ABL Obligations may be increased, replaced or refinanced, in each event, without notice to or consent by the Term Secured Parties and without affecting the provisions hereof; and (iii) all Payment Collateral or Cash Collateral received by the ABL Agent may be applied, reversed, reapplied, credited, or reborrowed, in whole or in part, to the ABL Obligations at any time; provided, however, that from and after the date on which the ABL Agent (or any ABL Lender) commences the Exercise of Any Secured Creditor Remedies (other than, prior to the acceleration of any of the Term Obligations, the exercise of its rights in accordance with Section 7.02 of the Original ABL Credit Agreement or any similar provision of any other ABL Credit Agreement), all amounts received by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender shall be applied as specified in this Section 4.1.

provided that in the event the Term Agent receives, in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, any Proceeds of any ABL Priority Collateral and the Lien granted in favor of the ABL Agent or the ABL Lenders in respect of such ABL Priority Collateral has been voided, avoided or otherwise invalidated by a court of competent jurisdiction and the provisions of Section 5.3 would not be effective, then such Proceeds received by the Term Agent with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral shall be applied to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of the Term Obligations in accordance with the Term Documents until the Discharge of the Term Obligations shall have occurred.

Priority Collateral as a result of such defect shall be applied to the extent permitted by applicable law, to the payment, on a pro rata basis, of the ABL Obligations in accordance with the ABL Documents until the Discharge of the ABL Obligations shall have occurred.

In exercising remedies, whether as a secured creditor or otherwise, the ABL Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the Term Agent or to any Term Lender, and the Term Agent shall have no obligation or liability to the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender, regarding the adequacy of any Proceeds or for any action or omission, save and except solely for an action or omission that breaches the express obligations undertaken by each Party under the terms of this Agreement so long as such exercise of remedies is conducted in a commercially reasonable manner, in accordance with mandatory provisions of applicable law and does not breach the provisions of this Agreement.
(e) Turnover of Cash Collateral After Discharge. Upon the Discharge of ABL Obligations, the ABL Agent shall (at the ABL Borrowers expense) deliver to the Term Agent or shall execute such documents as the Term Agent may reasonably request to enable the Term Agent to have control over any Cash Collateral or Control Collateral still in the ABL Agents possession, custody, or control in the same form as received with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

Each of the ABL Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, and the Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law that might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

24

(c) The ABL Obligations and the Term Obligations may be refinanced, in whole or in part, in each case, without notice to, or the consent (except to the extent a consent is required to permit the refinancing transaction under any ABL Document or any Term Document) of the ABL Agent, the ABL Lenders, the Term Agent or the Term Lenders, as the case may be, all without affecting the Lien Priorities provided for herein or the other provisions hereof, provided, however, that the holders of such refinancing Indebtedness (or an authorized agent or trustee on their behalf) bind themselves in writing to the terms of this Agreement pursuant to such documents or agreements (including amendments or supplements to this Agreement) as the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, shall reasonably request and in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as the case may be, and any such refinancing transaction shall be in accordance with any applicable provisions of both the ABL Documents and the Term Documents.

(a) If the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations (an ABL Recovery), then the ABL Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such ABL Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such ABL Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such ABL Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement.

No priority or right of the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the ABL Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender may have.
(b) If the Term Agent or any Term Lender is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Borrower, any Guarantor, or any other Person any payment made in satisfaction of all or any portion of the Term Obligations (a Term Recovery), then the Term Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Term Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Term Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect in the event of such Term Recovery, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair, or otherwise affect the obligations of the Parties from such date of reinstatement. All rights, interests, agreements, and obligations of the ABL Agent, the Term Agent, the ABL Lenders, and the Term Lenders under this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall continue irrespective of the commencement of, or any discharge, confirmation, conversion, or dismissal of, any Insolvency Proceeding by or against any Borrower or any Guarantor or any other circumstance which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of any Borrower or any Guarantor in respect of the ABL Obligations or the Term Obligations. No priority or right of the Term Agent or any Term Lender shall at any time be prejudiced or impaired in any way by any act or failure to act on the part of any Borrower or any Guarantor or by the noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions, or covenants of any of the Term Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which the Term Agent or any Term Lender may have.

INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS
Section 6.1 DIP Financing.
(a) If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, and the ABL Agent or the ABL Lenders shall seek to provide any Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any financing under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or
27
consent to any order for the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (each, a DIP Financing), with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be ABL Priority Collateral) (it being understood that the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing with respect to the Term Priority Collateral in competition with the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties without the consent of the Term Agent), then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide adequate protection for the Liens of the Term Agent securing the Term Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the Term Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the Term Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and, as to the Term Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and any Lien on Term Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the Term Agent on the Term Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on ABL Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders securing the ABL Obligations on ABL Priority Collateral and (iii) if the ABL Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL Obligations, the Term Agent also may seek to obtain an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Term Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of the ABL Agent and the Term Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(a) shall not prevent the Term Agent and the Term Lenders from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.
(b) If any Borrower or any Guarantor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding in the United States at any time prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, and the Term Agent or the Term Lenders shall seek to provide any Borrower or any Guarantor with, or consent to a third party providing, any DIP Financing, with such DIP Financing to be secured by all or any portion of the Term Priority Collateral (including assets that, but for the application of Section 552 of the Bankruptcy Code would be Term Priority Collateral) (it being understood that the Term Agent and the Term Secured Parties shall not propose any DIP Financing with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral in competition with the ABL Agent and the ABL Secured Parties without the consent of the ABL Agent), then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, agrees that it will raise no objection and will not support any objection to such DIP Financing or to the Liens securing the same on the grounds of a failure to provide adequate protection for the Liens of the ABL Agent securing the ABL Obligations or on any other grounds (and will not request any adequate protection solely as a result of such DIP Financing), so long as (i) the ABL Agent retains its Lien on the Collateral to secure the ABL Obligations (in each case, including Proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and, as to the ABL Priority Collateral only, such Lien has the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code and any Lien on ABL Priority Collateral securing such DIP Financing is junior and subordinate to the Lien of the ABL Agent on the ABL Priority Collateral, (ii) all Liens on Term Priority Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the Term Agent and the Term
28
Lenders securing the Term Obligations on Term Priority Collateral and (iii) if the Term Agent receives an adequate protection Lien on post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the Term Obligations, the ABL Agent also may seek to obtain an adequate protection Lien on such post-petition assets of the debtor to secure the ABL Obligations, provided that (x) such Liens in favor of the Term Agent and the ABL Agent shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.1(c) hereof and (y) the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.1(b) shall not prevent the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders from objecting to any provision in any DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization.
(c) All Liens granted to the ABL Agent or the Term Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding, whether as adequate protection or otherwise, are intended by the Parties to be and shall be deemed to be subject to the Lien Priority and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Relief From Stay. Until the Discharge of ABL Obligations has occurred, the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the ABL Priority Collateral without the ABL Agents express written consent. Until the Discharge of Term Obligations has occurred, the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, agrees not to seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any portion of the Term Priority Collateral without the Term Agents express written consent. In addition, neither the Term Agent nor the ABL Agent shall seek any relief from the automatic stay with respect to any Collateral without providing 7 business days prior written notice to the other, unless such period is agreed by both the ABL Agent and the Term Agent to be modified or unless the ABL Agent or the Term Agent, as applicable, makes a good faith determination that either (A) the ABL Priority Collateral or the Term Priority Collateral, as applicable, will decline speedily in value, or (B) the failure to take any action will have a reasonable likelihood of endangering the ABL Agents or the Term Agents ability to realize upon its Collateral.
Section 6.3 No Contest. The Term Agent, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of ABL Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (a) any request by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above), or (b) any objection by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender to any motion, relief, action, or proceeding based on a claim by the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(b) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the ABL Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement. The ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, agrees that, prior to the Discharge of Term Obligations, none of them shall contest (or support any other Person contesting) (i) any request by the Term Agent or any Term Lender for adequate protection of its interest in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above), or (ii) any objection by the Term Agent or any Term Lender to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim by the Term Agent or any Term Lender that its interests in the Collateral (unless in contravention of Section 6.1(a) above) are not adequately protected (or any other similar request under any law applicable to an
29
Insolvency Proceeding), so long as any Liens granted to the Term Agent as adequate protection of its interests are subject to this Agreement.
Section 6.4 Asset Sales. The Term Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the ABL Agent of any ABL Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. The ABL Agent agrees, on behalf of itself and the ABL Lenders, that it will not oppose any sale consented to by the Term Agent of any Term Priority Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar provision under the law applicable to any Insolvency Proceeding) so long as the proceeds of such sale are applied in accordance with this Agreement. If such sale of Collateral includes both ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral and the Parties are unable after negotiating in good faith to agree on the allocation of the purchase price between the ABL Priority Collateral and Term Priority Collateral, either Party may apply to the court in such Insolvency Proceeding to make a determination of such allocation, and the courts determination shall be binding upon the Parties.
Section 6.5 Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. Each Term Lender, the Term Agent, each ABL Lender and the ABL Agent acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the ABL Security Documents and the Term Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Term Obligations are fundamentally different from the ABL Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that the claims of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of ABL Obligation claims and Term Obligation claims against the Credit Parties (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the ABL Priority Collateral or Term Priority Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the other Secured Parties), the ABL Secured Parties or the Term Secured Parties, respectively, shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest that is available from each pool of Priority Collateral for each of the ABL Secured Parties and the Term Secured Parties, respectively, before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the other Secured Parties, with the other Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the respective other Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the aggregate recoveries.
Section 6.6 Enforceability. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be and shall be enforceable under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
Section 6.7 ABL Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the ABL Agent hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of the Term Agent and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
30
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any ABL Document;
(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the ABL Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any ABL Document;
(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the ABL Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or
(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than payment in full of the ABL Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the ABL Obligations, or of any of the Term Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.
Section 6.8 Term Obligations Unconditional. All rights of the Term Agent hereunder, all agreements and obligations of the ABL Agent and the Credit Parties (to the extent applicable) hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Term Document;
(ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any portion of the Term Obligations, or any amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding or restatement of any Term Document;
(iii) any exchange, release, voiding, avoidance or non perfection of any security interest in any Collateral, or any other collateral, or any release, amendment, waiver or other modification, whether by course of conduct or otherwise, or any refinancing, replacement, refunding, restatement or increase of all or any portion of the Term Obligations or any guarantee or guaranty thereof; or
(iv) any other circumstances that otherwise might constitute a defense (other than payment in full of the Term Obligations) available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party in respect of the Term Obligations, or of any of the ABL Agent or any Credit Party, to the extent applicable, in respect of this Agreement.
Section 6.9 Adequate Protection. Except to the extent expressly provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.3, nothing in this Agreement shall limit the rights of the ABL Agent and the ABL Lenders, on the one hand, and the Term Agent and the Term Lenders, on the other hand, from seeking or requesting adequate protection with respect to their respective interests in the applicable Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding, including adequate protection in the form of a cash payment, periodic cash payments, cash payments of interest, additional collateral or otherwise; provided that (a) in the event that the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the ABL Lenders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the ABL Obligations and such
31
adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute Term Priority Collateral, then the ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the ABL Lenders, agrees that the Term Agent shall have the right to seek or request a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the Term Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations shall be subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing the Term Obligations and (b) in the event that the Term Agent, on behalf of itself or any of the Term Lenders, seeks or requests adequate protection in respect of the Term Obligations and such adequate protection is granted in the form of additional collateral comprising assets of the type of assets that constitute ABL Priority Collateral, then the Term Agent, on behalf of itself and each of the Term Lenders, agrees that the ABL Agent shall have the right to seek or request a senior Lien on such collateral as security for the ABL Obligations and that any Lien on such collateral securing the Term Obligations shall be subordinate to the Lien on such collateral securing the ABL Obligations.

MISCELLANEOUS

The Term Agent, for and on behalf of itself and the Term Lenders, agrees that no payment to the ABL Agent or any ABL Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement shall entitle the Term Agent or any Term Lender to exercise any rights of subrogation in respect thereof until the Discharge of ABL Obligations shall have occurred.

BURLINGTON COAT FACTORY ANNOUNCES
SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY REFINANCING
| Interest Rates and Fees Reduced |
| Facility extended to 2016 |
| Companys New Capital Structure Has No Significant Debt Maturities Through 2016 |
BURLINGTON, NEW JERSEY, September 9, 2011 Burlington Coat Factory Investments Holdings, Inc. and its operating subsidiaries (the Company), a nationwide retailer based in Burlington, New Jersey, today announced that on September 2, 2011, Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (BCFWC) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the Amended Credit Agreement) governing BCFWCs asset-based revolving credit facility. The Amended Credit Agreement is more fully described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company today with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Highlights of the Amended Credit Agreement include the following:
| Maturity Date: Extended to September 2, 2016. |
| Commitments: Remain at $600,000,000 in the aggregate and, subject to certain conditions, may be increased to $900,000,000. |
| Interest Rates and Fees: Interest rates and other bank fees are lower than under the previous credit agreement governing BCFWCs revolving credit facility. |
The Companys other long term debt was replaced in February 2011 with a new $1.0 billion senior secured term loan facility which matures in 2017 and $450 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due 2019. With the completion of the Amended Credit Agreement, the Company now has no significant debt amortization or maturity over the next five years.
We are pleased to announce the successful refinancing of our revolving credit facility, Thomas A. Kingsbury, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer, stated. We believe that its terms reflect our improved performance and credit risk profile. Additionally, we feel that this new facility, combined with the term loan refinancing and public debt offering we completed in February, provides us with substantial liquidity and flexibility to meet our operating and capital requirements over the next five years.
As of August 31, 2011, the Company operated 462 stores in 44 states and Puerto Rico, principally under the name Burlington Coat Factory.
Statements made in this press release that are forward-looking (within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995) are not historical facts and involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: general economic conditions; consumer demand; consumer preferences; weather patterns; competitive factors, including pricing and promotional activities of major competitors; the availability of desirable store locations on suitable terms; the availability, selection and purchasing of attractive merchandise on favorable terms; import risks; the Companys ability to control costs and expenses; unforeseen computer related problems; any unforeseen material loss or casualty; the effect of inflation; and other factors that may be described in the Companys filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise its forward-looking statements even if experience or future changes make it clear that any projected results expressed or implied will not be realized.
