SECTION 2.2.3.  Optional Increase.  (a)  Provided that no Default then exists, the Borrowers may on any Business Day prior to the Commitment Termination Date, request from time to time in writing that the then effective Commitment Amount be increased or one or more term loan commitments (a “Term Loan Commitment”) be created in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250,000,000.  Any request under this Section to increase the Commitment Amount or create a Term Loan Commitment shall be submitted by the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent, specify the proposed effective date (which date shall be not less than 5 days after the date of such request) and specify the amount of such increase (which shall be in integral multiples of $1,000,000).  No Lender shall have any obligation, express or implied, to offer to increase its Commitment or offer a Term Loan Commitment.  Only the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and those Lenders agreeing to increase their Commitments (the “Increasing Lenders”) shall be required for an increase in the Commitment Amount pursuant to this Section.

 

(b)           The Borrowers may accept some or all of the offered amounts from the then-current Lenders or designate new lenders which qualify as Eligible Assignees and are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an increase in the Commitment Amount, the Issuer, as additional Lenders hereunder (each, an “Additional Increasing Lender”), which Additional Increasing Lenders may assume all or a portion of the increase in the applicable Commitment Amount or Term Loan Commitment.  The Administrative Agent and KIL shall have discretion to adjust the allocation of the increased Commitment Amount or Term Loan Commitment among Increasing Lenders and Additional Increasing Lenders.  Each Additional Increasing Lender shall become an additional party hereto as an Additional Increasing Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the proposed increase in the applicable Commitment Amount or Term Loan Commitment upon its execution of an instrument of joinder to this Agreement which is in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and which, in any event, contains the representations, warranties, indemnities and other protections afforded herein to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders.

 

(c)           Subject to the foregoing, any increase requested by KIL shall be effective as of the date proposed by KIL and shall be in the principal amount equal to (i) the amount which Increasing Lenders are willing to assume as increases to the amount of their Commitments plus (ii) the amount offered by any Additional Increasing Lenders.  Upon the effectiveness of any such increase, if requested by the applicable Lender, the Borrowers shall issue replacement Notes to each Increasing Lender and new Notes to each Additional Increasing Lender, and the

applicable Percentages of each Lender will be adjusted to give effect to the increase in the applicable Commitment Amount.  To the extent that the adjustment of Percentages results in loss or expenses to any Lender as a result of the prepayment of any LIBO Rate Loan on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrowers shall be responsible for such loss or expenses pursuant to Section 4.4.

 

(d)           If and to the extent that any Lenders and/or other lenders agree, in their sole discretion, to provide any Term Loan Commitment, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized, without obtaining any further consents of the Lenders, to enter into any amendments or supplements (including an amendment and restatement of the Agreement) with the Borrowers to this and any other Loan Document to the extent necessary to implement the creation of a Term Loan Commitment and make term loans hereunder and the Borrowers shall execute and deliver any additional Notes, other amendments or modifications to any Loan Document, and any other certificates, consents or legal opinions as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and to the extent necessary to implement the same; provided that the Term Loans will (i) otherwise be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, (ii) be treated as pari passu Obligations under the Loan Documents securing the obligations and (iii) mature on or after Stated Maturity Date.

34



 

Borrowers shall within five Business Days of receipt of such notice pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to Administrative Agent, at the rate payable under this Agreement for Base Rate Loans.  Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.  No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan.

 

SECTION 2.3.2.  Swingline Loans.  By delivering a telephonic notice to the Swingline Lender (which notice shall promptly be confirmed by telecopy to the Swingline Lender and to the Administrative Agent) on or before 1:00 p.m., New York time, on a Business Day, a Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request that a Borrowing of Swingline Loans be made by 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the same day such Borrowing is requested, in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in $1,000,000 integral multiples thereof, or in the unused amount of the Swingline Loan Commitment Amount.  On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, each such Borrowing shall be comprised of Base Rate Loans, shall bear interest at the rate equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans, and shall be made on the same day such Borrowing is requested (if requested on or before 1:00 p.m., New York time) or on the next Business Day (if requested after 1:00 p.m., New York time).  The Swingline Lender shall make funds in an amount equal to the requested Borrowing available to the Borrowers to the accounts the Borrowers shall have specified in the applicable Borrowing Request.

SECTION 2.5.  Funding.  Each Lender may, if it so elects, fulfill its obligation to make, continue or convert LIBO Rate Loans hereunder by causing one of its foreign branches or Affiliates (or an international banking facility created by such Lender) to make or maintain such LIBO Rate Loan; provided, however, that such LIBO Rate Loan shall nonetheless be deemed to have been made and to be held by such Lender, and the obligation of the Borrowers, to repay such LIBO Rate Loan shall nevertheless be to such Lender for the account of such foreign branch, Affiliate or international banking facility.  In addition, each Borrower and each Lender

hereby consents and agrees that, for purposes of any determination to be made for purposes of Section 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 or 4.4, it shall be conclusively assumed that each Lender elected to fund all LIBO Rate Loans by purchasing Dollar deposits in its LIBOR Office’s interbank eurodollar market.

 

SECTION 2.6.  Letter of Credit Issuance Procedures.  By delivering to the Administrative Agent an Issuance Request on or before 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, KIL may, from time to time irrevocably request, on not less than three Business Days’ notice, in the case of an initial issuance of a Letter of Credit, and not less than three Business Days’ notice prior to the existing Stated Expiry Date (or, if a Letter of Credit has an automatic extension provision, at least three Business Days’ notice prior to the date that such Letter of Credit will, by its terms, be extended or, if earlier, the date on which a notice from the Issuer is required to be delivered to the beneficiary of the Letter of Credit informing the beneficiary that the Letter of Credit will not be extended) in the case of a request for the extension of the Stated Expiry Date of a Letter of Credit, that the Issuer issue, or extend the Stated Expiry Date of, as the case may be, a Letter of Credit in Dollars or a Foreign Currency (provided, that the Dollar Equivalent of the aggregate amount of Foreign Currency Letters of Credit shall not exceed the Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Commitment Amount) in such form as may be requested by KIL and approved by the Issuer, solely for the purposes described in Section 7.1.8.  Each Letter of Credit shall by its terms be stated to expire on a date (its “Stated Expiry Date”) no later than the earlier to occur of (i) 10 days prior to the Stated Maturity Date or (ii) one year from the date of its issuance.  The Issuer will make available to the beneficiary thereof the original of each Letter of Credit which it issues hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.6.1.  Other Lenders’ Participation.  Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer pursuant hereto, and without further action, each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably purchased, to the extent of its Percentage, a participation interest in such Letter of Credit (including the Contingent Liability and any Reimbursement Obligation with respect thereto), and such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be responsible for reimbursing promptly (and in any event within three Business Days following the Disbursement Date) the Issuer for Reimbursement Obligations arising under the Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer which have not been reimbursed by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.6.3.  In addition, such Lender shall, to the extent of its Percentage, be entitled to receive (i) a ratable portion of the Letter of Credit fees payable pursuant to Section 3.3.2 with respect to each Letter of Credit (other than the issuance fees payable to the Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit pursuant to the last sentence of Section 3.3.2) and (ii) from the date that such Lender has reimbursed the Issuer in accordance with the first sentence of this Section, (A) the interest payable pursuant to Section 2.6.2 and, if applicable, (B) the interest payable pursuant to Section 3.2.2 with respect to any Reimbursement Obligation not paid when due.  To the extent that any Lender has reimbursed the Issuer for a Disbursement as required by this Section, such Lender shall be entitled to receive its ratable portion of any amounts subsequently received (from a Borrower or otherwise) in respect of such Disbursement.

 

SECTION 2.6.2.  Disbursements.  The Issuer will notify KIL and the Administrative Agent promptly of the presentment for payment of any Letter of Credit issued by the Issuer, together with notice of the date (the “Disbursement Date”) such payment shall be made (each

 

36



 

such payment, a “Disbursement”).  Subject to the terms and provisions of such Letter of Credit and this Agreement, the Issuer shall make such Disbursement to the beneficiary (or its designee) of such Letter of Credit.  Prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Disbursement Date, the Borrowers will (or any one of them) reimburse the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Issuer, for all amounts which the Issuer has disbursed under such Letter of Credit (in the currency in which such Disbursement was made), together with interest thereon (in the currency in which such Disbursement was made) at a rate per annum equal to the rate then in effect for Base Rate Loans (with the then Applicable Margin for Loans accruing on such amount) for the period from the Disbursement Date through the date of such reimbursement.  Without limiting in any way the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any separate application for any Letter of Credit, each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally obligated to reimburse the Issuer upon each Disbursement of a Letter of Credit (including Letters of Credit issued for the account of the other Borrowers or a Guarantor), and each Borrower shall be deemed to be the obligor for purposes of each such Letter of Credit issued hereunder (whether the account party on such Letter of Credit is such Borrower or a Guarantor).

 

SECTION 2.6.3.  Reimbursement.  The obligation (a “Reimbursement Obligation”) of each Borrower under Section 2.6.2 to reimburse the Issuer with respect to each Disbursement (including interest thereon), and, upon the failure of the Borrowers to reimburse the Issuer, each Lender’s obligation under Section 2.6.1 to reimburse the Issuer, shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which any Borrower, any Obligor or such Lender, as the case may be, may have or have had against the Issuer or any such Lender, including any defense based upon the failure of any Disbursement to conform to the terms of the applicable Letter of Credit (if, in the Issuer’s good faith opinion, such Disbursement is determined to be appropriate) or any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that after paying in full its Reimbursement Obligation hereunder, nothing herein shall adversely affect the right of any Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, to commence any proceeding against the Issuer for any wrongful Disbursement made by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit as a result of acts or omissions constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuer.

 

SECTION 2.6.4.  Deemed Disbursements.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default of the type described in Section 8.1.9 or, with notice from the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Required Lenders), upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any other Event of Default:

 

(a)           an amount equal to that portion of all Letter of Credit Outstandings attributable to the then aggregate amount which is undrawn and available under all Letters of Credit issued and outstanding hereunder shall, without demand upon or notice to any Borrower, be deemed to have been paid or disbursed, in the applicable currency or currencies, by the Issuer under such Letters of Credit (notwithstanding that such amount may not in fact have been so paid or disbursed); and

 

(b)           upon notification by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers of their obligations under this Section, the Borrowers shall be immediately obligated to reimburse

 

37



 

the Issuer for the amount, and in the currency, deemed to have been so paid or disbursed by the Issuer.

 

Any amounts so payable by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section shall be deposited in cash in an interest bearing account with the Administrative Agent and held as collateral security pursuant to a cash collateral agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent for the Obligations in connection with the Letters of Credit issued by the Issuer.  At such time when the Defaults or Events of Default giving rise to the deemed disbursements hereunder shall have been cured or waived, the Administrative Agent shall return to KIL all amounts then on deposit with the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section which have not been applied to the partial satisfaction of such Obligations.

 

SECTION 2.6.5.  Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  Each Borrower, each other Obligor and, to the extent set forth in Section 2.6.1, each Lender shall assume all risks of the acts, omissions or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof.  The Issuer shall not be (except to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) responsible for:

 

(a)           the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of a Letter of Credit, even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged;

 

(b)           the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or the proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason;

 

(c)           the failure of the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit;

 

(d)           errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; or

 

(e)           any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make a Disbursement under a Letter of Credit.

 

None of the foregoing shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to the Issuer or any Lender.  In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuer in connection with such Letter of Credit in good faith (and not constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct) shall be binding upon each Borrower and each other Obligor and each such Lender, and shall not put the Issuer under any resulting liability to any Borrower, any Obligor or any such Lender, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 2.6.6.  Dollar Equivalent Determinations.  For purposes of determining the amount of Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings and for purposes of calculating fees payable under Section 3.3.2 with respect to Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings, the

 

38



 

principal amount of such Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings shall be deemed to be, as of any date of determination, the Dollar Equivalent thereof at such date.  The initial Dollar Equivalent of any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and/or the Issuer, as the case may be, on the date of issuance thereof.  If a Disbursement is made by the Issuer under any Foreign Currency Letter of Credit, the Dollar Equivalent of such Disbursement shall be determined by the Issuer on the Disbursement Date related thereto, and the Issuer shall notify the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower promptly of such Dollar Equivalent.

 

SECTION 2.7.  Currency Fluctuation, etc.  Not later than 12:00 p.m., New York time, on each Quarterly Payment Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Dollar Equivalent as of such Quarterly Payment Date with respect to each Foreign Currency for which there are at such time outstanding Foreign Currency Letters of Credit or in respect thereof (after giving effect to any Loans to be made or repaid or Letters of Credit to be issued or Reimbursement Obligations to be repaid on such date).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrowers of the Dollar Equivalent so determined and such Dollar Equivalent shall become effective on the first Business Day immediately following the relevant Quarterly Payment Date (a “Reset Date”) and shall remain effective until the next succeeding Reset Date (provided that the Administrative Agent’s failure to notify the Borrowers shall not affect the effectiveness of such determination).

 

SECTION 2.8.  Notes.  Each Borrower agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender, each such Borrower will execute and deliver to such Lender a Note payable to the order of such Lender in a maximum principal amount equal to the amount of Credit Extensions that can be made to a particular Borrower, which shall, in the aggregate, equal such Lender’s Percentage of the original Commitment Amount.  Each Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes each Lender to make (or cause to be made) appropriate notations on the grid attached to such Lender’s Note (or on any continuation of such grid), which notations, if made, shall evidence, inter alia, the date of, the outstanding principal of, and the interest rate and Interest Period applicable to the Loans evidenced thereby.  Such notations shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender to make any such notations shall not limit or otherwise affect any Obligations of any Borrower or any other Obligor.

 

SECTION 2.9.  Register.  Each Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as such Borrower’s agent, solely for the purpose of this Section 2.9, to maintain a register (the “Register”) on which the Administrative Agent will record each Lender’s Commitment, each Lender’s Percentage, the Loans made by each Lender and each repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender and annexed to which the Administrative Agent shall retain a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.11.1.  Failure to make any recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Borrower’s obligation in respect of such Loans.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person in whose name a Loan (and, as provided in Section 2.8, the Note evidencing such Loan, if any) is registered as the owner thereof

for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice or any provision herein to the contrary.

 

ARTICLE III

REPAYMENTS, PREPAYMENTS, INTEREST AND FEES

 

SECTION 3.1.  Repayments and Prepayments.  Each Borrower shall repay in full the unpaid principal amount of its Loans upon the Stated Maturity Date.

 

SECTION 3.1.1.  Payment Terms.  Prior thereto, the Borrowers may (or shall, as applicable) make the repayments and prepayments set forth below.

 

(a)           Each Borrower may, from time to time on any Business Day, make a voluntary prepayment, in whole or in part, of the outstanding principal amount of any of its Loans, and such Borrower may select whether such prepayment shall be allocated to the Base Rate Loans, LIBO Rate Loans or both (and the amounts so allocated to each); provided, however, that:

 

(i)            any such prepayment shall be made first to Base Rate Loans before application to LIBO Rate Loans if such prepayment would minimize the amount of any payments required to be made to the Borrowers pursuant to Section 4.4;

 

(ii)           all such voluntary prepayments shall require at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (unless, in the case of prepayment of any Swingline Loan, notice shall have been given by 1:00 p.m., New York time and payment shall be received by 1:00 p.m. New York time, in which event one Business Day’s notice shall not be required);

 

(iii)          all such voluntary partial prepayments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000.

 

(b)           The Borrowers shall, on each date when any reduction in the Commitment Amount shall become effective, including pursuant to Section 2.2, make a mandatory prepayment of the Loans made to it, and if required Cash Collateralize Letter of Credit Outstandings, equal to the excess, if any, of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans and Letter of Credit Outstandings over the Commitment Amount as so reduced and, as so reduced, applicable to such Borrower.

 

(c)           The Borrowers shall, immediately upon any acceleration of the Stated Maturity Date of any Loans pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, repay all of their Loans, unless, pursuant to Section 8.3, only a portion of all Loans is so accelerated.

 

(d)           The Borrowers shall, on each Quarterly Payment Date, Cash Collateralize Foreign Currency Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Dollar Equivalent of all Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Outstandings over 105% of the Foreign Currency Letter of Credit Commitment Amount.

 

40



 

Each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to this Section shall be without premium or penalty, except as may be required by Section 4.4.  No voluntary prepayment of principal of any Loans shall cause a reduction in the Commitment Amount.

 

SECTION 3.1.2.  Special Swingline Loan Provisions.  (a)  All Swingline Loans shall be payable with accrued interest thereon solely to the Swingline Lender for its own account and shall otherwise be subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Loans (unless otherwise specifically set forth herein).  Upon the earlier to occur of (i) seven Business Days after the making of any Swingline Loan, or (ii) the Stated Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall repay all of such Swingline Loans in cash by 1:00 p.m., New York time, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans together with all accrued interest thereon, and shall apply the proceeds of any Borrowing to repay in its entirety the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Swingline Loans together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such repayment.

 

(a)           In the event that any portion of any Swingline Loan is not repaid when due, the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in no event later than 5:00 p.m., New York time, two Business Days after payment was due, notify each Lender in writing of the unreimbursed amount of such Swingline Loan and of such Lender’s Percentage of such unreimbursed amount.  Each of the Lenders shall make a Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the unreimbursed amount of such Swingline Loan, together with accrued unpaid interest thereon (to the extent that there is availability under the Loan Commitment), and pay the proceeds thereof, in immediately available funds, directly to the Swingline Lender, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the next Business Day after the date such Lender is notified by the Administrative Agent.  Loans made by the Lenders to repay unreimbursed Swingline Loans pursuant to this subsection shall constitute Loans hereunder, initially shall be Base Rate Loans and shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement concerning Loans, except that such Loans shall be made upon demand by the Administrative Agent as set forth above rather than upon notice by the Borrowers, and shall be made, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, without regard to satisfaction of conditions precedent to the making of Loans set forth in Article V of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Lender shall be obligated to make such Loans if, prior to the date of the Borrowing of the Swingline Loan to be refunded, the Swingline Lender had received written notice from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the existence and continuance of an Event of Default.  Each Lender’s obligation to make Loans in the amount of its Percentage of any unreimbursed Swingline Loan pursuant hereto is several, and not joint or joint and several.  The failure of any Lender to perform its obligation to make a Loan in the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of any unreimbursed Swingline Loan will not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Loan in the amount of such other Lender’s Percentage of such unreimbursed Swingline Loan.  Any Lender may, but shall have no obligation to any Person to, assume all or any portion of any non-performing Lender’s obligation to make a Loan in the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such unreimbursed Swingline Loan.  The Borrowers agree to accept the Loans hereinabove provided, whether or not such Loans could have been made pursuant to the terms of Section 5.2 hereof or any other Section of this Agreement.

 

41



 

(b)           In the event, for whatever reason, the Administrative Agent determines that the Lenders are not able to, or that it could be disadvantageous for the Lenders to, advance their respective Percentage of Loans for the purpose of refunding Swingline Loans as required hereunder, then each of the Lenders absolutely and unconditionally agrees to purchase and take from the Swingline Lender on demand an undivided participation interest in Swingline Loans outstanding in an amount equal to their respective Percentage of such Swingline Loans.

 

SECTION 3.2.  Interest Provisions.  Interest on the outstanding principal amount of Loans shall accrue and be payable in accordance with this Section 3.2.

 

SECTION 3.2.1.  Rates.  Pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice, a Borrower may elect that Loans comprising a Borrowing accrue interest at a rate per annum:

 

(a)           on that portion maintained from time to time as a Base Rate Loan, equal to the sum of the Alternate Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin;

 

(b)           on that portion maintained as a LIBO Rate Loan, during each Interest Period applicable thereto, equal to the sum of the LIBO Rate (Reserve Adjusted) for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin;

 

(c)           on that portion maintained as a Swingline Loan, equal to the sum of the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans.

 

All LIBO Rate Loans shall bear interest from and including the first day of the applicable Interest Period to (but not including) the last day of such Interest Period at the interest rate determined as applicable to such LIBO Rate Loan.

 

SECTION 3.2.2.  Post-Maturity Rates.  After the date any principal amount of any Loan is due and payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise), or after any other monetary Obligation of a Borrower shall have become due and payable, such Borrower shall pay, but only to the extent permitted by law, interest (after as well as before judgment) on such amounts at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans plus a margin of 2%.

 

SECTION 3.2.3.  Payment Dates.  Interest accrued on each Loan shall be payable in arrears, without duplication:

 

(a)           on the Stated Maturity Date therefor;

 

(b)           with respect to a Loan, on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of principal outstanding on such Loan;

 

(c)           with respect to Base Rate Loans, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter occurring after the date of the initial Borrowing hereunder;

 

42



 

(d)           with respect to LIBO Rate Loans, the last day of each applicable Interest Period (and, if such Interest Period shall exceed three months, on each third month anniversary of such Interest Period); and

 

(e)           on that portion of any Loans the maturity of which is accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such acceleration.

 

Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall be payable upon demand.

 

SECTION 3.3.  Fees.  KIL agrees to pay the fees set forth in this Section 3.3.  All such fees shall be non-refundable.

 

SECTION 3.3.1.  Commitment Fee.  KIL agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender for the period (including any portion thereof when its Commitment is suspended by reason of any Borrower’s inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through the Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee at the rate of the Applicable Commitment Fee per annum, in each case on such Lender’s Percentage of the average daily unused portion of the Commitment Amount (net of Letter of Credit Outstandings.  Such commitment fees shall be payable by KIL, in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the first such day following the Effective Date, and on the Commitment Termination Date.

 

SECTION 3.3.2.  Letter of Credit Fee.  KIL agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of the Issuer and each other Lender, a Letter of Credit fee, in Dollars, in an amount equal to the then Applicable Margin for LIBO Rate Loans, multiplied by the average daily undrawn Stated Amount (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof with respect to Foreign Currency Letters of Credit) of all Letters of Credit outstanding during the applicable period, with such fees being payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date.  KIL further agrees to pay to the Issuer a fronting fee in the amount as set forth in the Fee Letter, dated as of September 15, 2005, between the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, DBSI and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, payable quarterly in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date and customary administrative fees with respect to issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder (as delivered to the Borrowers in writing).

 

SECTION 3.3.3.  Other Fees.  The Borrowers agree to pay to each Lender for its own account upfront fees in such amounts and on such dates as the Borrowers and such Lender have otherwise agreed to.

 

SECTION 3.4.  Guaranty Provisions.  Each Borrower hereby jointly and severally irrevocably guarantees the payment of all Obligations as set forth in this Section 3.4.

 

SECTION 3.4.1.  Guaranty.  Each Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably jointly and severally:

 

43



 

(a)           guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the other Borrowers and each other Obligor, whether for principal, interest, fees, expenses or otherwise (including all such amounts which would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a), and the operation of Sections 502(b) and 506(b) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 502(b) and § 506(b)); and

 

(b)           indemnifies and holds harmless each Lender Party and each holder of a Note for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by such Lender Party or such holder, as the case may be, in enforcing any rights under Section 3.4;

 

provided that in the case of the guaranty of a Borrower of the Obligations of other than its direct or indirect Subsidiaries, such guaranty shall be limited to the maximum amount that can be guaranteed without rendering such guaranty unenforceable under fraudulent conveyance or similar laws.  This guaranty and the provisions of this Section 3.4 constitutes a guaranty of payment when due and not of collection, and each Borrower specifically agrees that it shall not be necessary or required that any Lender Party exercise any right, assert any claim or demand or enforce any remedy whatsoever against the Borrowers or any other Obligor (or any other Person) before or as a condition to the obligations of such Borrower hereunder.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall be jointly and severally liable for the Obligations arising under Letters of Credit issued for Subsidiaries of KIL, notwithstanding that such Borrower is not the account party of any particular Letter of Credit.

 

SECTION 3.4.2.  Acceleration of Guaranty.  Each Borrower agrees that following the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3 such Borrower will pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lender Parties forthwith the full amount which would be payable hereunder by such Borrower.

 

SECTION 3.4.3.  Guaranty Absolute, etcSection 3.4 shall in all respects be a continuing, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable guaranty of payment, and shall remain in full force and effect until all Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor have been paid in full, all obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall have been paid in full and all Commitments shall have terminated.  Each Borrower guarantees that the Obligations of the other Borrowers and each other Obligor will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and each other Loan Document under which they arise, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of any Lender Party with respect thereto.  The liability of each Borrower under Section 3.4 shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

 

(a)           any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

 

(b)           the failure of any Lender Party:

 

44



 

(i)            to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Borrower, any other Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) under Section 3.4 of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise; or

 

(ii)           to exercise any right or remedy against any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor;

 

(c)           any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the other Borrowers or any other Obligor, or any other extension, compromise or renewal of any Obligation of any other Borrower or any other Obligor;

 

(d)           any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and each Borrower hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, the Obligations of any other Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise;

 

(e)           any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

 

(f)            any addition, exchange, release, surrender or non-perfection of any collateral, or any amendment to or waiver or release or addition of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, held by any Lender Party or any holder of any Note securing any of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor; or

 

(g)           any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any other Borrower, any other Obligor, any surety or any guarantor.

 

SECTION 3.4.4.  Reinstatement, etc.  Each Borrower agrees that Section 3.4 shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment (in whole or in part) of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any Lender Party or any holder of any Note, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Borrower, any other Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

SECTION 3.4.5.  Waiver, etc.  Each Borrower hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor and Section 3.4 and any requirement that any Lender Party or any holder of any Note protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or Lien, or any property subject thereto, or exhaust any right or take any action against any other Borrower, any other

 

45



 

Obligor or any other Person (including any other guarantor) or entity or any collateral securing the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 3.4.6.  Postponement of Subrogation, etc.  No Borrower will exercise any rights which it may acquire by way of rights of subrogation under Section 3.4, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, until the prior payment, in full and in cash, of all Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor.  Any amount paid to any Borrower on account of any such subrogation rights prior to the payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor shall be held by the Borrower in question for the benefit of the Lender Parties and shall immediately be paid to the Administrative Agent and credited and applied against the Obligations of the Borrowers and each other Obligor, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that if (a) any Borrower has made payment to the Lender Parties and each holder of a Note of all or any part of the Obligations of any other Borrower or any other Obligor, and (b) all Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments have been permanently terminated, each Lender Party agrees that, at such Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lender Parties, will execute and deliver to such Borrower appropriate documents (without recourse and without representation or warranty) necessary to evidence the transfer by subrogation to such Borrower of an interest in the Obligations of such other Borrower and each other Obligor resulting from such payment by the Borrower paying any such amount.  In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligations or Commitments remain outstanding, each Borrower shall refrain from taking any action or commencing any proceeding against the other Borrowers or any other Obligor (or its successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise) to recover any amounts in the respect of payments made under the provisions of Section 3.4 to any Lender Party.

 

ARTICLE IV

CERTAIN LIBO RATE AND OTHER PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 4.1.  LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful.  If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, so long as such Lender shall then be taking the same action with respect to all other similar loans it may have outstanding to other borrowers, upon notice thereof to the Borrowers and the Lenders, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers) that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make, continue or maintain any Loan as, or to convert any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan, the obligations of all Lenders to make, continue, maintain or convert any such Loans shall, upon notice of such determination to the Borrowers and Administrative Agent, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and all LIBO Rate Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if required by such law or assertion.  Any Lender affected by such event or condition shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (including to change its applicable lending office with respect to some or all of its LIBO Rate Loans) to avoid the effect of such event or condition, so long as such Lender will not be

materially disadvantaged and such change is not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies.

 

SECTION 4.2.  Deposits Unavailable.  If the Administrative Agent shall have determined that (a) dollar deposits in the relevant amount and for the relevant Interest Period are not available to JPMCB in its relevant market, or (b) by reason of circumstances affecting JPMCB’s relevant market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Loans, then, so long as the Administrative Agent shall then be taking the same action with respect to all other similar loans it may have outstanding to other borrowers, upon notice from the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Section 2.3 and Section 2.4 to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

SECTION 4.3.  Increased LIBO Rate Loan Costs, etc.  Provided that each Lender requesting reimbursement under this Section 4.3 is then taking the same action with respect to all other similar loans it has outstanding to other borrowers of a class similar to the Borrowers (including as to the aggregate amount of credit extensions made to such other borrowers), the Borrowers agree to reimburse each Lender for any increase in the cost to such Lender of, or any reduction in the amount of any sum receivable by such Lender in respect of, making, continuing or maintaining (or of its obligation to make, continue or maintain) any Loans as, or of converting (or of its obligation to convert) any Loans into, LIBO Rate Loans caused by the imposition of any reserve requirements (including all basic, emergency, supplemental, marginal and other reserves and taking into account any transitional adjustments or other scheduled changes in reserve requirements) required by any central bank, regulator or other governmental authority (including the Bank of England) having authority over any Lender, in each case to the extent not already specifically addressed by the provisions of the definition of “LIBOR Reserve Percentage”, except as to any increased cost or reduced amount that results from the imposition of Taxes (liability for which is determined pursuant to Section 4.6).  The Lender requesting reimbursement under this Section shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and KIL in writing of the occurrence of any such event, such notice to state, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor and the additional amount required fully to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount.  Such additional amounts shall be payable by the Borrowers directly to such Lender within ten days of its receipt of such notice, and such notice shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payment to any Lender under this Section 4.3 unless KIL receives notice of such increased costs or reduced amounts within six months after they are incurred or realized.  Any Lender claiming any amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (including to change its applicable lending office with respect to some or all of its LIBO Rate Loans) in order to avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such additional amounts that would thereafter accrue, so long as such Lender will not be materially disadvantaged and such change is not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies.

 

47



 

SECTION 4.4.  Funding Losses.  In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to make, continue or maintain any portion of the principal amount of any Loan as, or to convert any portion of the principal amount of any Loan into, a LIBO Rate Loan) as a result of,

 

(a)           any conversion or repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBO Rate Loans on a date other than the scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant to Section 3.1 or otherwise, including all such loss or expense arising as a result of the provisions of Section 4.11;

 

(b)           the Borrowers’ failure to borrow any LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Borrowing Request therefor; or

 

(c)           any Loans not being continued as, or converted into, LIBO Rate Loans in accordance with the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor due to the Borrowers’ action or inaction,

 

then, upon the written notice of such Lender to KIL (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall, within ten days of its receipt thereof, pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense.  Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.

 

SECTION 4.5.  Increased Capital Costs.  If any change in, or the introduction, adoption, effectiveness, interpretation, reinterpretation or phase-in of, any law or regulation, directive, guideline, decision or request (whether or not having the force of law) of any court, central bank, regulator or other governmental authority after the Effective Date affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by any Lender or any Person controlling such Lender, and such Lender determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the rate of return on its or such controlling Person’s capital as a consequence of its Commitment or the Loans made, or the Letters of Credit issued or participated in, by such Lender is reduced to a level below that which such Lender or such controlling Person could have achieved but for the occurrence of any such circumstance, then, in any such case so long as such Lender shall then be taking the same action with respect to all other similar loans it may have outstanding to other borrowers, within ten Business Days following notice by such Lender to the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall pay directly to such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such controlling Person for such reduction in rate of return; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall have no obligation to make any payment to any Lender under this Section 4.5 unless the Borrowers receive notice of such reduction in rate of return within six months after the reduced rate of return is realized.  A statement of such Lender as to any such additional amount or amounts (including calculations thereof in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole and absolute discretion) shall deem applicable.  Any Lender claiming any amounts payable pursuant to this Section shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (including to change its applicable lending office with respect to some or all of its LIBO Rate Loans) to avoid or materially reduce

 

48



 

any amounts which the Borrowers are obligated to pay pursuant to this Section 4.5, so long as such Lender will not be materially disadvantaged and such change is not inconsistent with such Lender’s internal policies.

 

SECTION 4.6.  Taxes.  (a)  All payments by KIL, each other Borrower or any other Guarantor of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding franchise taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s net income, net profits or receipts (such non-excluded items being called “Taxes”).  In the event that any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by KIL, each other Borrower or any other Guarantor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation, then KIL, such Guarantor or such Borrower (as applicable) will:

 

(i)            pay directly to the relevant authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

 

(ii)           promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such authority; and

 

(iii)          pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by each Lender will equal the full amount such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

 

Moreover, if any Taxes are directly asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any payment received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may pay such Taxes and each of KIL, each other Borrower and each other Guarantor will (without duplication) promptly pay such additional amounts (including any penalties, interest or expenses) as is necessary in order that the net amount received by such person after the payment of such Taxes (including any Taxes on such additional amount) shall equal the amount such person would have received had such Taxes not been asserted provided, however, that KIL, each other Borrower or Guarantor shall not be required to pay such additional amounts to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of U.S. federal withholding taxes if such Administrative Agent or Lender fails to comply with the requirements of Section 4.6(c), unless (I) any such failure to deliver a form or forms or a Section 4.6(c) Certificate or the failure of such form or forms or Section 4.6(c) Certificate to establish a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax or inaccuracy or untruth contained therein resulted from a change in any applicable statute, treaty, regulation or other applicable law or any interpretation of any of the foregoing occurring after the date hereof, which change rendered such Lender no longer legally entitled to deliver such form or forms or Section 4.6(c) Certificate or otherwise ineligible for a complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax, or rendered the information or certifications made in such form or forms or Section 4.6(c) Certificate untrue or inaccurate in a material respect, (II) a redesignation of the Lender’s lending office was made at the request of the Borrowers or (III) the obligation to pay any additional amounts or indemnify

 

49



 

any such Lender pursuant to this clause (a) is with respect to an Assignee Lender that becomes an Assignee Lender as a result of an assignment made at the request of the Borrowers.

 

(b)           If either KIL, any other Borrower or any other Guarantor fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, KIL, each other Guarantor and each other Borrower shall jointly and severally indemnify the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by any Lender as a result of any such failure.  For purposes of this Section 4.6, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by KIL, such Guarantor and such Borrower.

 

(c)           Each Lender that is not organized under the laws of the United States or a State thereof shall, not later than the first payment of interest or other amounts hereunder to such Lender, deliver to each Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed and executed copies of (i) Internal Revenue Service Form E-8ECI (or any successor form), (ii) W-8BEN (or any successor form) or (iii) Form W-8BEN (or any successor form) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit P (a “Section 4.6(c) Certificate”), as applicable, in each case establishing a complete exemption”) from U.S. Federal withholding tax on payments of interest hereunder; provided, however, that in the case of a Lender that is not legally entitled to deliver such documentation as of the date of the first payment of interest or other amounts hereunder to such Lender, such Lender shall deliver written notice of its inability to provide such documentation on such date and no such Lender shall be obligated to deliver such documentation earlier than the date of the first payment of interest or other amounts hereunder next following the date as of which such Lender becomes legally entitled to deliver such documentation. Each such Lender shall further deliver two duly completed copies of such documentation prior to the expiration of the most recently delivered documentation (provided such Lender remains legally entitled to deliver such documentation) or when a change in circumstances (other than a change in law) renders such previous documentation obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect.  By the delivery of such documentation, such Lender shall be deemed to have represented that it is entitled to receive payments of interest hereunder without the imposition of U.S. Federal withholding tax.

 

(d)           In addition, any Lender claiming any indemnity payment or additional amount payable pursuant to this Section shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file any certificate or document reasonably requested by KIL or to change the jurisdiction of its applicable lending office if the making of such a filing or change would avoid the need for or reduce the amount of any such indemnity payment or additional amount which may thereafter accrue and such filing or change is not, in the sole determination of such Lender, inconsistent with that Lender’s internal policies.

 

In the event that any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of Taxes as to which it has been paid additional amounts or indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to clause (a) and such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, determines in its sole, good faith judgment that such refund is attributable to such additional amounts or indemnification, then such Lender or Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers and shall within 30 Business Days remit to the Borrowers an amount as such Lender

 

50



 

or Administrative Agent determines to be the proportion of the refunded amount as will leave it, after such remittance, in no better or worse position than it would have been if the Taxes had not been imposed and the corresponding additional amounts or indemnification payment not been made.  Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to disclose information regarding its tax affairs or computations to the Borrowers in connection with this clause (e) or any other provision of this Section 4.6.

 

SECTION 4.7.  Payments, Computations, etc.  (a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by KIL, each other Borrower and each other Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made by KIL, such Guarantor and such Borrower (without duplication) to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment.  All such payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made, without setoff, recoupment, deduction, counterclaim or other defense, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to the Borrowers.  Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such extension.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly remit in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.  All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of 360 days (or, in the case of interest on a Base Rate Loan, 365 days or, if appropriate, 366 days).  Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise required by clause (b) or (c) of the definition of the term “Interest Period”) be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.

 

(b)           Except as otherwise set forth herein, all amounts received as a result of the exercise of remedies under the Loan Documents (including from the proceeds of collateral securing the Obligations) or under applicable law shall be applied upon receipt to the Obligations as follows: (i) first, to the payment of all Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as the Administrative Agent (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Administrative Agent), (ii) second, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clause (b)(i), to the ratable payment of all interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, whether or not permitted as a claim under such law) and fees owing under the Loan Documents, and all costs and expenses owing to the Secured Parties pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash, (iii) third, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) and (b)(ii), to the ratable payment of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, the aggregate Reimbursement Obligations then owing, the cash collateralization of all Letter of Credit Outstandings and credit exposure owing to Secured Parties under Rate Protection Agreements, (iv) fourth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iii), to the ratable payment of all other Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, and (v) fifth, after payment in full in cash of the amounts specified in clauses (b)(i) through (b)(iv),

 

51



 

and following the Commitment Termination Date, to each applicable Obligor or any other Person lawfully entitled to receive such surplus. For purposes of clause (b)(iii), the “credit exposure” at any time of any Secured Party with respect to a Rate Protection Agreement to which such Secured Party is a party shall be determined at such time in accordance with the customary methods of calculating credit exposure under similar arrangements by the counterparty to such arrangements, taking into account potential interest rate (or, if applicable, currency) movements and the respective termination provisions and notional principal amount and term of such Rate Protection Agreement.

 

SECTION 4.8.  Sharing of Payments.  If any Lender shall obtain any payment or other recovery (whether voluntary, involuntary, by application of setoff or otherwise) on account of any Loan or Reimbursement Obligation (other than pursuant to the terms of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6) in excess of its pro rata share of payments then or therewith obtained by all Lenders, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders such participations in Credit Extensions made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment or other recovery ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of the excess payment or other recovery is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, the purchase shall be rescinded and each Lender which has sold a participation to the purchasing Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the ratable extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a)  the amount of such selling Lender’s required repayment to the purchasing Lender to (b)  the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender), of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  Each of KIL, each other Borrower and each other Guarantor agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including pursuant to Section 4.9) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of KIL, such Borrower or such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.  If under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, any Lender receives a secured claim in lieu of a setoff to which this Section applies, such Lender shall, to the extent practicable, exercise its rights in respect of such secured claim in a manner consistent with the rights of the Lenders entitled under this Section to share in the benefits of any recovery on such secured claim.

 

SECTION 4.9.  Setoff.  Each Lender shall, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 8.1.9 or, with the consent of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations owing to it (whether or not then due), and (as security for such Obligations) each of KIL, each other Borrower and each other Guarantor hereby grants to each Lender a continuing security interest in, any and all balances, credits, deposits, accounts or money of each of KIL, such Guarantor and such Borrower then or thereafter maintained with such Lender; provided, however, that any such appropriation and application shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify KIL, such Guarantor or such Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other

 

52



 

rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff under applicable law or otherwise) which such Lender may have.

 

SECTION 4.10.  Defaulting Lender.  (a) Upon any Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Administrative Agent shall endeavor to promptly notify each other Lender of the amount owed or potentially owed, as the case may be, by such Defaulting Lender and (ii) the Commitment Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the unutilized portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Percentage thereof then in effect (the “Unutilized Portion”); provided, however, that, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, KIL may request a non-defaulting Lender to, whereupon such non-defaulting Lender may (in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Lender), by promptly notifying KIL and the Administrative Agent, increase its Commitment in an amount equal to the Unutilized Portion, in which case, upon receipt by KIL and the Administrative Agent of such notice, (x) the Commitment of such non-defaulting Lender shall be so increased and (y) the amount of the Commitment Amount then in effect shall be equal to the amount of the Commitment Amount in effect immediately prior to the time such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender and (iii) the Percentage of such Defaulting Lender shall be reduced to zero.

 

(b)           No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees accrued on and after the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)           Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any payments hereunder on account of any Loans or Notes until all amounts that are due and payable with respect to any Loans as to which such Defaulting Lender is not a Lender or a participant shall have been paid in full.

 

(d)           Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to release any Defaulting Lender from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement or otherwise or to prejudice the rights which KIL, the Borrowers or any other Lender or the Administrative Agent may have against any such Defaulting Lender.

 

SECTION 4.11.  Replacement Lender.  In the event that (a) KIL, any other Borrower or any other Guarantor becomes obligated to pay any additional material amounts to any Lender pursuant to Section 4.3 or 4.5 (which amounts are not due or payable to all Lenders generally under such Sections) or such Lender is not able to make LIBO Rate Loans pursuant to Section 4.1, as a result of any event or condition described in any of such Sections, or any Lender is subject to a withholding tax for which it seeks a gross up pursuant to Section 4.6  or (b) any Lender fails to consent to an election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification to this Agreement or other Loan Document requiring more Lenders than the Required Lender’s consent and such election, consent, amendment, waiver or other modification is otherwise consented to by Lenders holding more than 70% of the then aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans, Letters of Credit Outstandings and the unfunded portion of the Commitments without giving effect to the Loans, Letter of Credit Outstandings and Commitments attributable to such non-consenting Lender (any such Lender so qualifying under clause (a) or (b), an “Affected Lender”), then, unless such Affected Lender has removed or cured the conditions creating the cause of such obligation to pay such additional amounts or agrees (in the case of Taxes) not to require any Obligor to pay such gross up amount under Section 4.6, in the case of clause (a) or

 

53



 

otherwise consents, in the case of clause (b), KIL may designate one or more Eligible Assignees (and such Affected Lender agrees to be replaced by such Eligible Assignees upon and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section) reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and Issuer (such Eligible Assignee or Eligible Assignees, upon becoming a lender or lenders, each called a “Replacement Lender”) to have assigned to it pursuant to Section 10.11.1, and to purchase, such Affected Lender’s rights and obligations with respect to its entire Loans and Commitment hereunder, without recourse to or warranty by, or expense to, such Affected Lender for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount payable to such Affected Lender with respect to its Loans hereunder, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid fees in respect of such Affected Lender’s Loans and Commitment owing to such Affected Lender; provided that the Borrowers may not request the assignment of more than 30% of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount as a result of the failure to consent to an amendment, consent, wavier or other modification to the Credit Agreement.  KIL agrees that, so long as the Borrowers are not then obligated to pay any gross up for Taxes under a Loan Document to the Administrative Agent, it will first designate the Administrative Agent as the Replacement Lender in the case of an Affected Lender that has required the Borrowers (or any Obligor) to pay any gross up for Taxes under a Loan Document and the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but be under no obligation) to have assigned to it an equal amount of the Loans and Commitments (and corresponding rights and obligations) of the Affected Lender being replaced.  In the event KIL is unable to find a Replacement Lender, KIL may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, pay the Affected Lender and amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of its Loans, plus any accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid fees in respect of such Lender’s Loans and Commitment owing to such Affected Lender and the Commitment Amount shall be irrevocably and automatically reduced by the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment; provided that the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount may not be reduced below $455,000,000 as a result of the removal of such Lender or Lenders.  Upon any assignment and purchase by the Replacement Lender and payment of all other amounts owing to the Affected Lender being replaced hereunder (including under Section 4.6), and the payment to the Administrative Agent of the processing fee due to it under Section 10.11.1 or the repayment by KIL of such Affected Lender’s Loans and subsequent reduction of the Commitment Amount pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Affected Lender shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder, and the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Affected Lender with respect to its Loans and Commitment hereunder; provided that the rights of such Affected Lender pursuant to Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 10.3 and 10.4, and the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender pursuant to Article IX and Sections 10.3 and 10.4, shall survive any assignment described in this Section.  Each Lender hereby grants to the Administrative Agent an irrevocable power of attorney (which power is coupled with an interest) to execute and deliver, on behalf of such Lender as assignor, any assignment agreement necessary to effectuate any assignment of such Lender’s interests hereunder in the circumstances contemplated by this Section.

SECTION 7.1.9.  Priority of Lenders’ Liens.  Each Borrower will, and will cause their Restricted Subsidiaries to, do all things requested by the Administrative Agent that are reasonably necessary to ensure that at all times the claims of the Secured Parties against the Obligors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that provide for Collateral Documents are prior to and superior to the claims of all other creditors, except as expressly permitted in this Agreement.

SECTION 7.2.  Negative Covenants.  Each of the Borrowers agrees with the Administrative Agent, the Issuer and each Lender that, until all Commitments have terminated and all Obligations have been paid and performed in full, each of the Borrowers will perform the obligations set forth in this Section 7.2.

 

SECTION 7.2.1.  Business Activities.  KIL will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, engage in any business activity, except those described in the first recital, the development and sale of time sharing and resort home properties, and (in each case), such activities as may be incidental or related thereto and reasonable extensions thereof.

82



 

by the Administrative Agent (with respect to which the Administrative Agent agrees that it will comply, except as otherwise provided in this Section or as otherwise advised by counsel), to exercise such powers hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as may be reasonably incidental thereto.  Each Lender and the Issuer hereby indemnify (which indemnity shall survive any termination of this Agreement) the Administrative Agent according to such Lender’s Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and as to which the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed by an Obligor; provided, however, that no Lender or Issuer shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, costs or expenses which are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final proceeding to have resulted solely from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or omit to take, any action hereunder, under the Notes or under any other Loan Document, or to prosecute or defend any suit in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, unless it is indemnified hereunder to its satisfaction.  If any indemnity in favor of the Administrative Agent shall be or become, in the Administrative Agent’s determination, inadequate, the Administrative Agent may call for additional indemnification from the Lenders and cease to do the acts indemnified against hereunder until such additional indemnity is given.

 

SECTION 9.2.  Funding Reliance, etc.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender by 5:00 p.m., New York time, on the day prior to a Borrowing that such Lender will not make available the amount which would constitute its Percentage of such Borrowing on the date specified therefor, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such amount available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender severally and each Borrower jointly and severally agree to repay the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date the Administrative Agent made such amount available to the applicable Borrower to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable at the time to Loans comprising such Borrowing.

 

SECTION 9.3.  Exculpation.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to any Secured Party for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or in connection herewith or therewith, except for its own willful misconduct or gross negligence, nor responsible for any recitals or warranties herein or therein, nor for the effectiveness, enforceability, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor for the creation, perfection or priority of any Liens purported to be created by any of the Loan Documents, or the validity, genuineness, enforceability, existence, value or sufficiency of any collateral security, nor to make any inquiry respecting the performance by any Obligor of its obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  Any such inquiry which may be made by the Administrative

 

83



 

Agent shall not obligate it to make any further inquiry or to take any action.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon advice of counsel concerning legal matters and upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement or writing which the Administrative Agent believes to be genuine and to have been presented by a proper Person.

 

SECTION 9.4.  Successor.  The Administrative Agent may resign as such at any time upon at least 60 days’ prior notice to KIL and all Lenders.  If the Administrative Agent at any time shall resign, the Required Lenders may appoint another Lender as a successor Administrative Agent which, with the prior written consent of KIL, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, shall thereupon become the Administrative Agent hereunder.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be one of the Lenders or a commercial banking institution organized under the laws of the U.S. (or any State thereof) or a U.S. branch or agency of a commercial banking institution, and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive from the retiring Administrative Agent such documents of transfer and assignment as such successor Administrative Agent may reasonably request, and shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of (i) this Article IX shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and (ii) Section 10.3 and Section 10.4 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

 

SECTION 9.5.  Loans by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers with respect to (x) the Credit Extensions made by either of them or any of their respective Affiliates, and (y) the Notes held by either of them or any of their respective Affiliates as any other Lender and may exercise the same as if it were not the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with any Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of KIL as if such Agent were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, including being a counterparty to a Rate Protection Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.6.  Credit Decisions.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such Lender’s review of the financial information of the Borrowers, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and such other documents, information and investigations as such Lender has deemed appropriate, made its own credit decision to extend its Commitment.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently of each Agent and each other Lender, and based on such other documents, information and investigations as it shall deem appropriate at any time, continue to make its own credit decisions as to exercising or not exercising from time to time any rights and privileges available to it under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

84



 

SECTION 9.7.  Copies, etc.  The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to each Lender of each notice or request required or permitted to be given to such Agent by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement unless concurrently delivered to the Lenders by a Borrower.  The Administrative Agent will distribute to each Lender each document or instrument received for its account and copies of all other communications received by the Administrative Agent from each Borrower for distribution to the Lenders by such Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.8.  Administrative Agent Independent Rights.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that (i) the Administrative Agent will be a joint and several creditor of each and every Obligation of each Borrower and the Obligors under the Credit Agreement and each other Loan Document, (ii) subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall have its own independent right to demand performance by a Borrower and each other Obligor of the Obligations under this Agreement and each other Loan Document and (iii) any payments made directly to the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations shall have been deemed to have been made by such Borrower or such other Obligor for the benefit of the Lender Parties.

 

SECTION 9.9.  The Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents and the Co-Lead Arrangers.  Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, none of the Syndication Agent, the Co-Documentation Agents or the Co-Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, shall have any rights, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any Loan Document or otherwise exist against any Syndication Agent, Co-Documentation Agent or Co-Lead Arranger.

SECTION 10.8.  Execution in Counterparts, Effectiveness, etc.  This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which shall constitute together but one and the same agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective when (i) counterparts hereof executed on behalf of the Borrowers, the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and each Lender (or notice thereof satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) shall have been received by the Administrative Agent and notice thereof shall have been given by the Administrative Agent to KIL and each Lender, (ii) the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 shall have been satisfied or waived in full, and (iii) the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of amounts payable under the Fee Letters, the applicable Lender) shall have received for its own account, or for the account of such Lender, as the case may be, all fees, costs and expenses due and payable pursuant to Sections 3.3 and 10.3, if then invoiced.

 

SECTION 10.9.  Governing Law; Entire Agreement.  THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (OTHER THAN THE FOREIGN PLEDGE AGREEMENTS, THE MORTGAGES AND THE DEBENTURES) SHALL EACH BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT MADE UNDER AND GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including the Fee Letters) constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.  In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any Debentures or the Mortgages the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

SECTION 10.10.  Successors and Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that:

 

(a)           neither any Borrower nor any other Obligor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of all Lenders; and

 

(b)           the rights of sale, assignment and transfer of the Lenders are subject to Section 10.11.

 

SECTION 10.11.  Sale and Transfer of Loans and Note; Participations in Loans and Note.  Each Lender may assign, or sell participations in, its Loans, Letters of Credit participations and Commitment to one or more other Persons in accordance with this Section 10.11.

 

SECTION 10.11.1.  Assignments.  (a)  Each Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or participation therein, or other Obligation may (i) be assigned in any amount to another Lender or to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of the assigning Lender or another Lender with the giving of

 

89



 

notice to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent or (ii) be assigned in an aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 (or such lesser amount as shall constitute the aggregate amount of the Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit and participations therein, and other Obligations of the assigning Lender) to any other Eligible Assignee (treating any two or more Approved Funds with the same investment advisor as a single Eligible Assignee) (each such assignee in clauses (i) and (ii) being an “Assignee Lender”) with the giving of notice to the Borrowers and with the consent of the Borrowers (unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), the Issuer (other than an assignment of a Term Loan Commitment) and the Administrative Agent (which consent of the Borrowers, the Issuer and the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided that, in the case of any assignment to an Affiliate or Approved Fund of the assigning Lender, the Borrowers and Guarantors shall not be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 or 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no assignment to an Affiliate or Approved Fund been made.  To the extent of any such assignment in accordance with either clause (i) or (ii) above, the assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to its Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or participations therein, or other Obligations or the portion thereof so assigned.  The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, a Lender Assignment Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 (provided that (i) no such processing and recordation fee shall be payable if the Assignee Lender is an Affiliate of the assignor or a Person under common management with the assignor, and (ii) only one such fee shall be required in connection with a simultaneous assignment to a group of Approved Funds with the same investment advisor) and such forms (including an administrative questionnaire if the Assignee Lender was not previously a Lender), certificates or other evidence, if any, with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters as the Assignee Lender under such Lender Assignment Agreement may be required to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.6 (with a copy of such forms, certificates or other evidence delivered to the Borrowers).  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recordation, from and after the effective date specified in such Lender Assignment Agreement, (y) the Assignee Lender thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Lender Assignment Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (z) the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Lender Assignment Agreement, relinquish its rights (other than any rights which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of a Lender Assignment Agreement covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto; provided that, anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, if such Lender is the Issuer with respect to any outstanding Letters of Credit such Lender shall continue to have all rights and obligations of the Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit until the cancellation or expiration of such Letters of Credit and the reimbursement of any amounts drawn thereunder).  The Commitments hereunder shall be modified to reflect the Commitment of such Assignee Lender and any remaining Commitment of such assigning Lender and the assigning Lender shall, upon the effectiveness of such assignment or as promptly thereafter as practicable, surrender its applicable Notes, if any, to Administrative Agent for cancellation, and thereupon new Notes shall, if so requested by the Assignee Lender and/or the assigning Lender, be issued to the

 

90



 

Assignee Lender and/or the assigning Lender, to reflect the new Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of the Assignee Lender and/or the assigning Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 10.11.1(a) 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 10.11.2.

 

(b)           Upon its receipt of a Lender Assignment Agreement executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee Lender representing that it is an Eligible Assignee, together with the processing and recordation fee (if so required) referred to in Section 10.11.1(a) and any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters that such Assignee Lender may be required to deliver to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 4.6, the Administrative Agent shall, if the Administrative Agent (and if necessary, the Borrower) has consented to the assignment evidenced thereby (in each case to the extent such consent is required pursuant to Section 10.11.1(a)), (a) accept such Lender Assignment Agreement by executing a counterpart thereof as provided therein (which acceptance shall evidence any required consent of the Administrative Agent to such assignment), (b) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (c) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain a copy of each Lender Assignment Agreement delivered to and accepted by it as provided in this Section 10.11.1(b).

 

(c)           If the consent of the Borrowers to an assignment or to an Eligible Assignee is required hereunder (including a consent to an assignment which does not meet the minimum assignment thresholds specified in Section 10.11.1(a)), the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given their consent ten Business Days after the date notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrowers prior to such fifth Business Day.

 

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, any Lender may (without requesting the consent of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent) pledge its Loans to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings made by such Lender from such Federal Reserve Bank.

 

SECTION 10.11.2.  Participations.  Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions (each of such commercial banks and other financial institutions being herein called a “Participant”) participating interests in any of the Loans, Loan Commitment, Letter of Credit Commitment and Letter of Credit Outstandings participated in by it, or other interests of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that:

 

(a)           no participation contemplated in this Section 10.11 shall relieve such Lender from its Commitment or its other obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

 

(b)           such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of its Commitment and such other obligations;

 

91



 

(c)           each Obligor and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents;

 

(d)           no Participant, unless such Participant is an Affiliate of such Lender, or is itself a Lender, shall be entitled to require such Lender to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and no Lender shall take or refrain from taking any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document upon the instruction or in accordance with the direction of any Participant except that such Lender may agree with any Participant that such Lender will not, without such Participant’s consent, take any actions of the type described in clause (b) or (c) of Section 10.1; and

 

(e)           no Obligor shall be required to pay any amount under Section 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, or 4.6 that is greater than the amount which it would have been required to pay had no participating interest been sold.

 

(f)            Each Lender that sells a participating interest in any Loan, Commitment or other interest to a Participant shall, as agent of the Borrowers solely for the purpose of this Section 10.11.2, record in book entries maintained by such Lender the name and the amount of the participating interest of each Participant entitled to receive payments in respect of such participating interests.

 

Each Obligor acknowledges and agrees that each Participant, for purposes of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.8, 4.9, 10.3 and 10.4, shall be considered a Lender.

 

SECTION 10.12.  Other Transactions.  Nothing contained herein shall preclude any Agent, the Issuer or any other Lender from engaging in any transaction, in addition to those contemplated by this Agreement or any other Loan Document, with KIL or any of its Affiliates in which KIL or such Affiliate is not restricted hereby from engaging with any other Person.

 

SECTION 10.13.  Forum Selection and Consent to Jurisdiction.  ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF ANY AGENT, THE ISSUER, THE LENDERS, OR THE OBLIGORS SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK OR IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT ANY SUIT SEEKING ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ANY COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE BROUGHT, AT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S OPTION, IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH COLLATERAL OR OTHER PROPERTY MAY BE FOUND.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH LITIGATION.  EACH

 

92



 

BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY APPOINTS CT CORPORATION SYSTEMS (THE “PROCESS AGENT”), WITH AN OFFICE ON THE DATE HEREOF AT 111 EIGHTH AVENUE, 13th FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10011, UNITED STATES, AS ITS AGENT TO RECEIVE, ON SUCH PERSON’S BEHALF AND ON BEHALF OF SUCH PERSON’S PROPERTY, SERVICE OF COPIES OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT AND ANY OTHER PROCESS WHICH MAY BE SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING.  SUCH SERVICE MAY BE MADE BY MAILING OR DELIVERING A COPY OF SUCH PROCESS TO SUCH PERSON IN CARE OF THE PROCESS AGENT AT THE PROCESS AGENT’S ABOVE ADDRESS, AND EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AUTHORIZES AND DIRECTS THE PROCESS AGENT TO ACCEPT SUCH SERVICE ON ITS BEHALF.  AS AN ALTERNATIVE METHOD OF SERVICE, EACH BORROWER FURTHER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS BY PERSONAL SERVICE WITHIN OR WITHOUT THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH BORROWER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE OR HEREAFTER MAY HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH LITIGATION BROUGHT IN ANY SUCH COURT REFERRED TO ABOVE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH LITIGATION HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.  TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH BORROWER HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OF FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS PROPERTY, EACH BORROWER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

SECTION 10.14.  Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH AGENT, THE ISSUER, THE LENDERS, EACH BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ANY RIGHTS THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, OR ARISING OUT OF, UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENTS (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTIONS OF THE AGENTS, THE ISSUER, THE LENDERS OR THE BORROWERS.  EACH BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS RECEIVED FULL AND SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THIS PROVISION (AND EACH OTHER PROVISION OF EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT TO WHICH IT IS A PARTY) AND THAT THIS PROVISION IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE AGENTS, THE ISSUER, AND THE LENDERS ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

 

SECTION 10.15.  Judgment Currency.  The Obligations of each Borrower and each other Obligor in respect of any sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder, under the Notes or under or in respect of any other Loan Document shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum was originally denominated (the “Original Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent of any sum

 

93



 

adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchases the Original Currency with the Judgment Currency.  If the amount of Original Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent, each Borrower agrees as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, against such loss, and if the amount of Original Currency so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, each Lender and the Administrative Agent agree to remit any excess to the applicable Obligor.  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due under any Loan Document in another currency into Dollars or into a Foreign Currency, as the case may be, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the applicable Secured Party could purchase such other currency with Dollars or with such Foreign Currency, as the case may be, in New York City, at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given, together with any premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with such purchase.

 

SECTION 10.16.  Confidentiality.  Each of the Lenders and the Agents shall keep confidential all non-public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of or in connection with this Agreement which has been identified as such by KIL in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices.  Subject to Sections 10.11.1 and 10.11.2, such Lenders and Agents may make disclosure (i) to prospective Assignee Lenders or Participants in connection with the contemplated assignment or participation of all or any part of their Loans and Commitment so long as any such information so disclosed is identified as confidential and such prospective Assignee Lender or Participant is instructed to maintain the confidentiality thereof, (ii) to their examiners, Subsidiaries, outside auditors, counsel and other professional advisors in connection with this Agreement and (iii) as required or requested by any governmental authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall endeavor to notify KIL of any request by any governmental agency or representative thereof (other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such governmental agency) for disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such information; and provided, further, that in no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by any Obligor.

 

SECTION 10.17.  Schedules.  The information set forth in the Schedules (including the Disclosure Schedule) to this Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the specific provisions of this Agreement and is not intended to constitute, and shall not be construed as constituting, representations or warranties of the party to which such Schedules relate except as and to the extent provided in this Agreement.  Inclusion of information in the Schedules shall not be construed as an admission that such information is material for purposes of the specific provisions of this Agreement to which such information relates.  Information included in the Schedules that is not required to be so included under the specific provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be included for information purposes only and information of a similar nature need not be included elsewhere, at the discretion of the party providing such information.  Any

 

94



 

information disclosed by a party in any Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosed in all the Schedules of such party and for all purposes under this Agreement to the extent the specific provisions of this Agreement require such disclosure.

 

SECTION 10.18.  Replacement of Lenders.  Each Lender or the ultimate parent company thereof may be rated by S&P, Moody’s or Thompson’s Bank Watch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)).  If a proposed Assignee Lender or its ultimate parent entity is not so rated, then the Borrowers may withhold their consent to any assignment to such Assignee Lender pursuant to Section 10.11.1.  In the event that S&P, Moody’s or Thompson’s BankWatch (or InsuranceWatch Ratings Service, in the case of Lenders that are insurance companies (or Best’s Insurance Reports, if such insurance company is not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)) shall downgrade the long-term certificate of deposit rating or long-term senior unsecured debt rating of any rated Lender or its ultimate parent company, and the resulting rating shall be below BBB-, Baa3 or C (or BB, in the case of Lender that is an insurance company (or B, in the case of an insurance company not rated by InsuranceWatch Ratings Service)), then the Issuer and KIL shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, to replace such Lender with an Assignee Lender in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.11.1, and such Lender hereby agrees to transfer and assign without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 10.11.1) all its interests, rights and obligations in respect of its Commitments, outstanding Loans and participating interest in Letter of Credit Outstanding under this Agreement to such Assignee Lender; provided, however, that (i) no such assignment shall conflict with any law, rule and regulation or order of any governmental authority, (ii) such Assignee Lender shall pay to such Lender in immediately available funds on the date of such assignment the principal of and interest and fees (if any) accrued to the date of payment on the Loans made, and Letters of Credit participated in, by such Lender hereunder and all other amounts accrued for such Lender’s account or owed to it hereunder and (iii) KIL and the Issuer agree that the certificate of deposit rating and long-term senior unsecured debt rating of each Lender or the ultimate parent company thereof that is a signatory to this Agreement on the Effective Date (or, if no such rating is available, the “individual” rating by IBCA Limited (and, if neither rating is available for such original Lender, then such rating of the parent holding company of such Lender)) is acceptable, and following the Effective Date such Lender shall be subject to this Section only if the applicable rating is downgraded below that in effect on the Effective Date.

 

SECTION 10.19.  Effect of Amendment and Restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement.  On the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety.  The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (a) this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, whether executed and delivered in connection herewith or otherwise, do not constitute a novation, payment and reborrowing, or termination of the “Obligations” (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement) under the Existing Credit Agreement as in effect prior to the Effective Date and which remain outstanding, (b) such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing (as amended and restated hereby and which are hereinafter subject to the terms herein) and (c) the Liens and security interests as granted under the applicable Loan Documents securing payment of such “Obligations” are in all respects continuing and in full force and effect

 

95



 

(as assigned to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

 

SECTION 10.20.  USA PATRIOT Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) 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 “Patriot 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 Lender or the Administrative Agent as applicable, to identify the Borrowers in accordance with the Patriot Act.

 

96



 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their respective officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and year first above written.
