Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 20, 2006, Revlon Consumer Products Corporation (‘‘RCPC’’), the wholly-owned operating subsidiary of Revlon, Inc. (‘‘Revlon’’ and, together with RCPC, the ‘‘Company’’), consummated its previously-announced bank refinancing by replacing its existing $800 million term loan facility provided under its 2004 bank credit agreement with a new 5-year $840 million term loan agreement, dated as of December 20, 2006, among RCPC, as borrower, the lenders party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc. as administrative agent and collateral agent, Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as syndication agent, on terms substantially similar to those previously announced (the ‘‘2006 Term Loan Facility’’). As part of the bank refinancing, RCPC also amended its existing bank credit agreement, dated as of July 9, 2004, among RCPC and certain of its local borrowing subsidiaries, as borrowers, the lenders and issuing lenders party thereto, Citicorp USA, Inc., as multi-currency administrative agent and collateral agent, UBS Securities LLC as syndication agent and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as sole lead arranger and sole bookrunner, to extend to January 2012 its existing $160 million revolving credit facility and provide for other amendments on terms substantially similar to those previously announced (as so amended, the ‘‘2006 Revolving Credit Facility’’ and, together with the 2006 Term Loan Facility, the ‘‘2006 Credit Facilities’’).

Among other things, the 2006 Credit Facilities will result in annual interest savings due to lower interest margins and provide the Company with greater financial and other covenant flexibility including, eliminating the requirement that RCPC redeem all but $25 million of the 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 by October 30, 2007, as well as extend the maturity dates for RCPC’s bank credit facilities to January 2012.

Copies of the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility (set forth in its entirety in Exhibit A to Amendment No. 4 to RCPC’s existing bank credit agreement) and the 2006 Term Loan Facility, and the related Amended and Restated Pledge and Security Agreement and Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement are attached hereto as Exhibits 4.1 through 4.4, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

The following is a description of the 2006 Credit Facilities. Investors should refer to the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and the 2006 Term Loan Facility, respectively. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms have the meanings given to them in the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility or the 2006 Term Loan Facility, as applicable.

The 2006 Revolving Credit Facility extends the maturity of RCPC’s existing $160.0 million asset-based multi-currency revolving credit facility to January 15, 2012. Availability under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility varies based on a borrowing base that is determined by the value of eligible accounts receivable, eligible inventory and eligible real property and equipment in the U.S. and eligible accounts receivable and eligible inventory in the U.K. from time to time. The 2006 Revolving Credit Facility is available to: (i) RCPC in revolving credit loans denominated in U.S. dollars; (ii) RCPC in swing line loans denominated in U.S. dollars up to $30 million; (iii) RCPC in standby and commercial letters of credit denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies up to $60 million; and (iv) RCPC and certain of its international subsidiaries designated from time to time in revolving credit loans and bankers’ acceptances denominated in U.S. dollars and other currencies, in each case subject to borrowing base availability. If the value of the eligible assets is not sufficient to support a $160 million borrowing base under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, RCPC will not have full access to the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility. RCPC’s ability to make borrowings under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility is also conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain conditions precedent and RCPC’s compliance with other covenants in the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, including a fixed charge coverage ratio that applies when the excess borrowing base (representing the difference between (1) the borrowing base under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and (2) the amounts outstanding under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility) is less than $20.0 million.

Borrowings under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility (other than loans in foreign currencies) bear interest at a rate equal to, at RCPC’s option, either (i) the Eurodollar Rate plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) the Alternate Base Rate plus 1.00% per annum (reducing the applicable margins from 2.50% and

1




1.50% per annum, respectively, provided under the previous 2004 bank credit agreement). Loans in foreign currencies bear interest in certain limited circumstances, or if mutually acceptable to RCPC and the relevant foreign lenders, at the Local Rate, and otherwise at the Eurocurrency Rate, in each case plus 2.00%. RCPC pays to the lenders under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility a commitment fee of 0.30% (reduced from 0.50% applicable under the previous 2004 bank credit agreement) of the average daily unused portion of the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, which fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, RCPC pays: (i) to foreign lenders a fronting fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans (which fee is retained by foreign lenders out of the portion of the Applicable Margin payable to such foreign lender); (ii) to foreign lenders an administrative fee of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of specified Local Loans; (iii) to the multi-currency lenders a letter of credit commission equal to the product of (a) the Applicable Margin for revolving credit loans that are Eurodollar Rate loans (adjusted for the term that the letter of credit is outstanding) and (b) the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit; and (iv) to the issuing lender, a letter of credit fronting fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate undrawn face amount of letters of credit, which fee is a portion of the Applicable Margin.

The 2006 Term Loan Facility provides for up to $840 million in term loans which were drawn in full on the December 20, 2006 closing date. The proceeds of the term loans were used to repay in full the outstanding term loans under the Existing Credit Agreement (plus accrued interest of approximately $15.3 million and a prepayment fee of approximately $8.0 million) and the remainder will be available for general corporate purposes, after paying fees and expenses related to the credit agreement refinancing. The 2006 Term Loan Facility will mature on January 15, 2012. Under the 2006 Term Loan Facility, Eurodollar Loans bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 4.00% per annum and Alternate Base Rate loans bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus 3.00% per annum (reducing the applicable margins from 6.00% and 5.00% per annum, under the previous 2004 bank credit agreement).

Prior to the termination date of the 2006 Term Loan Facility, on April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15 of each year (commencing April 15, 2008), RCPC shall repay $2.1 million of the principal amount of the term loans outstanding under the 2006 Term Loan Facility on each respective date. In addition, the term loans under the 2006 Term Loan Facility are required to be prepaid with: (i) the net proceeds in excess of $10.0 million for each twelve-month period ending on each July 9 (or $25.0 million for the twelve-month period ending on July 9, 2007) received during such period from sales of Term Loan First Lien Collateral (as defined below) by RCPC or any of its subsidiary guarantors (subject to carryover of unused annual basket amounts up to a maximum of $25.0 million) (ii) the net proceeds from the issuance by RCPC or any of its subsidiaries of certain additional debt and (iii) 50% of RCPC’s Excess Cash Flow.

Under certain circumstances, RCPC will have the right to request the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility to be increased by up to $50.0 million and the 2006 Term Loan Facility to be increased by up to $200.0 million provided that the lenders are not committed to provide any such increase.

The 2006 Credit Facilities are supported by, among other things, guarantees from Revlon, Inc. and, subject to certain limited exceptions, the domestic subsidiaries of RCPC. The obligations of RCPC under the 2006 Credit Facilities and the obligations under the guarantees are secured by, subject to certain limited exceptions, substantially all of the assets of RCPC and the subsidiary guarantors, including: (i) mortgages on owned real property, including RCPC’s facilities in Oxford, North Carolina and Irvington, New Jersey; (ii) the capital stock of RCPC and the subsidiary guarantors and 66% of the capital stock of RCPC’s and the subsidiary guarantors’ first-tier foreign subsidiaries; (iii) intellectual property and other intangible property of RCPC and the subsidiary guarantors; and (iv) inventory, accounts receivable, equipment, investment property and deposit accounts of RCPC and the subsidiary guarantors. The liens on, among other things, inventory, accounts receivable, deposit accounts, investment property (other than the capital stock of RCPC and its subsidiaries), real property, equipment, fixtures and certain intangible property related thereto secure the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility on a first priority basis and the 2006 Term Loan Facility on a second priority basis, while the liens on the capital stock of RCPC and its subsidiaries and

2




intellectual property and certain other intangible property (the ‘‘Term Loan First Lien Collateral’’) secure the 2006 Term Loan Facility on a first priority basis and the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility on a second priority basis, all as set forth in the Amended and Restated Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement by and among RCPC and the lenders (the ‘‘Intercreditor Agreement’’). The Intercreditor Agreement also provides that the liens referred to above may be shared from time to time, subject to certain limitations, with specified types of other obligations incurred or guaranteed by RCPC, such as foreign exchange and interest rate hedging obligations and foreign working capital lines.

Each of the 2006 Credit Facilities contains various restrictive covenants prohibiting RCPC and its subsidiaries from: (i) incurring additional indebtedness or guarantees, with certain exceptions; (ii) making dividend and other payments or loans to Revlon, Inc. or other affiliates, with certain exceptions, including among others, (a) exceptions permitting RCPC to pay dividends or make other payments to Revlon, Inc. to enable it to, among other things, pay expenses incidental to being a public holding company, including, among other things, professional fees such as legal and accounting fees, regulatory fees such as SEC filing fees, insurance and other miscellaneous expenses related to being a public holding company, (b) subject to certain circumstances, to finance the purchase by Revlon, Inc. of its Class A Common Stock in connection with the delivery of such Class A Common Stock to grantees under the Second Amended and Restated Revlon, Inc. Stock Plan and/or the payment of withholding taxes in connection with the vesting of restricted stock awards under such plan, and (c) subject to certain limitations, to pay dividends or make other payments to finance the purchase, redemption or other retirement for value by Revlon, Inc. of stock or other equity interests or equivalents in Revlon, Inc. held by any current or former director, employee or consultant in his or her capacity as such; (iii) creating liens or other encumbrances on RCPC’s or its subsidiaries’ assets or revenues, granting negative pledges or selling or transferring any of RCPC’s or its subsidiaries’ assets, all subject to certain limited exceptions; (iv) with certain exceptions, engaging in merger or acquisition transactions; (v) prepaying indebtedness and modifying the terms of certain indebtedness and specified material contractual obligations, subject to certain exceptions; (vi) making investments, subject to certain exceptions; and (vii) entering into transactions with affiliates of RCPC other than upon terms no less favorable to RCPC or its subsidiaries than it would obtain in an arms’ length transaction. In addition to the foregoing, the 2006 Term Loan Facility contains a financial covenant limiting the senior secured leverage ratio of RCPC (the ratio of RCPC’s Senior Secured Debt (excluding debt outstanding under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility) to EBITDA, as each such term is defined in the 2006 Term Loan Facility) to 5.5 to 1.0 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending during the period from December 31, 2006 to September 30, 2008, stepping down to 5.0 to 1.0 for each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters ending during the period from of December 31, 2008 to the maturity date of the 2006 Term Loan Facility. Under certain circumstances when the difference between (i) the borrowing base under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) the amounts outstanding under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility is less than $20.0 million for a period of 30 consecutive days or more, the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility requires RCPC to maintain a consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of EBITDA minus Capital Expenditures to Cash Interest Expense for such period, as each such term is defined in the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility) of 1.0 to 1.0.

The events of default under each 2006 Credit Facility include customary events of default for such types of agreements, including: (i) nonpayment of any principal, interest or other fees when due, subject in the case of interest and fees to a grace period; (ii) non-compliance with the covenants in such 2006 Credit Facility or the ancillary security documents, subject in certain instances to grace periods; (iii) the institution of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceedings by or against RCPC, any of RCPC’s subsidiaries or Revlon, Inc., subject in certain instances to grace periods; (iv) default by Revlon, Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (A) in the payment of certain indebtedness when due (whether at maturity or by acceleration) in excess of $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount or (B) in the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to such debt, provided that the amount of debt involved is in excess of $5.0 million in aggregate principal amount, or the occurrence of any other event, the effect of which default or other event is to cause or permit

3




the holders of such debt to cause the acceleration of payment of such debt; (v) a cross default to the other 2006 Credit Facility; (vi) the failure by RCPC, certain of RCPC’s subsidiaries or Revlon, Inc., to pay certain material judgments; (vii) a change of control such that (A) Revlon, Inc. shall cease to be the beneficial and record owner of 100% of RCPC’s capital stock, (B) Ronald O. Perelman (or his estate, heirs, executors, administrator or other personal representative) and his or their controlled affiliates shall cease to ‘‘control’’ RCPC, and any other person or group or persons owns, directly or indirectly, more than 35% of the total voting power of RCPC, (C) any person or group of persons other than Ronald O. Perelman (or his estate, heirs, executors, administrator or other personal representative) and his or their controlled affiliates shall ‘‘control’’ RCPC or (D) during any period of two consecutive years, the directors serving on RCPC’s Board of Directors at the beginning of such period (or other directors nominated by at least 66 2/3% of such continuing directors) shall cease to be a majority of the directors; (viii) the failure by Revlon, Inc. to contribute to RCPC all of the net proceeds it receives from any other sale of its equity securities or RCPC’s capital stock, subject to certain limited exceptions; (ix) the failure of any of RCPC’s, its subsidiaries’ or Revlon, Inc.’s representations or warranties in any of the documents entered into in connection with the such 2006 Credit Facility to be correct, true and not misleading in all material respects when made or confirmed; (x) the conduct by Revlon, Inc., of any meaningful business activities other than those that are customary for a publicly traded holding company which is not itself an operating company, including the ownership of meaningful assets (other than RCPC’s capital stock) or the incurrence of debt, in each case subject to limited exceptions; (xi) any M&F Lenders’ failure to fund any binding commitments by such M&F Lender under any agreement governing any M&F Loan; (xii) the failure to maintain the M&F Loan facility until Revlon, Inc. shall have consummated an additional equity offering resulting in gross proceeds of at least $75 million, the net proceeds of which are contributed to RCPC, and the failure of RCPC to apply such net proceeds to the repayment of outstanding 8 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2008 or certain other indebtedness (including the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility without any reduction in the commitments thereunder); and (xiii) the failure of certain of RCPC’s affiliates which hold RCPC’s or its subsidiaries’ indebtedness to be party to a valid and enforceable agreement prohibiting such affiliate from demanding or retaining payments in respect of such indebtedness.

If RCPC is in default under the senior secured leverage ratio under the 2006 Term Loan Facility or the consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio under the 2006 Revolving Credit Facility, RCPC may cure such default by issuing certain equity securities to, or receiving capital contributions from, Revlon, Inc. and applying the cash therefrom to increase EBITDA for the purpose of calculating the applicable ratio. This cure right may be exercised by RCPC only two times in any four quarter period.

Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On December 20, 2006, Revlon issued a press release (the ‘‘Press Release’’) announcing the consummation of the 2006 Credit Facilities.

Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.1 and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
 
Section 2.2  Obligations of the Company. (a)  The Company agrees that each Term Loan made by each Lender pursuant hereto shall constitute the promise and obligation of the Company to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lender, at the office of the Administrative Agent listed in Section 14.2, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loans made by such Lender pursuant to Section 2.1, which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this Agreement and, in any event, on the Term Loan Termination Date.

33

 


so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recording or any error in such recording shall not in any way affect the Payment Obligations of the Company hereunder.
 
(c)  The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Administrative Agent by any Lender at any time, the Term Loan of such Lender shall be evidenced by a Term Loan Note, payable to the order of such Lender and representing the obligation of the Company to pay a principal amount equal to the amount of the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Term Loan made by such Lender, with interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding under such Term Loan Note as prescribed in Section 7.5.
 
Section 2.3  Procedure for Borrowing Term Loans.

Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender thereof.

The proceeds of the Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent hereunder on the applicable borrowing date shall promptly be made available to the Company by the Administrative Agent’s crediting the account of the Company designated to the Administrative Agent with the aggregate amount actually received by the Administrative Agent from the Lenders and in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
 
(b)  The failure of any Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by it on the applicable borrowing date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Term Loan on such borrowing date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Term Loan to be made by such other Lender on such borrowing date.
 
Section 2.4  Amortization of Term Loans. (a)  The Term Loans of each Lender shall mature in fifteen consecutive quarterly installments, each of which shall be in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage multiplied by the amount set forth below opposite such installment (as such amounts may be reduced from time to time in accordance with Section 7.2(b) or 7.4(b)):

35

 


(iii). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to negotiate for (whether or not in good faith), solicit, provide or commit to provide any Term Facility Increase, and any such Term Facility Increase may be subject to changes in any term herein. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the proposed Term Facility Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Company and the Administrative Agent. Each such Lender (and each of their Affiliates and Related Funds) may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Term Facility Increase by forwarding its commitment to the Administrative Agent therefor in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall allocate, in its sole discretion but in amounts not to exceed for each such Lender the commitment received from such Lender, Affiliate or Related Fund, the Incremental Term Loans to be made as part of the Term Facility Increase to the Lenders from which it has received such written commitments. The Administrative Agent may receive commitments from existing Lenders or their Affiliates or Related Funds and Eligible Assignees (other than any Affiliate of the Company) in connection with such Term Facility Increase. Each Term Facility Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the Company and the Administrative Agent (each a “Term Facility Increase Date”), which shall be in any case on or after the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.2. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day following the Term Facility Increase Date of the effectiveness of the Term Facility Increase on the Term Facility Increase Date and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information in respect of such Term Facility Increase.
 
(b)  The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Term Loans and all other Incremental Term Loans, (ii) shall not have a final maturity earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date or later than the date that is six months after the Term Loan Maturity Date (but may have amortization up to 1% of the principal amount thereof each year prior to such date), (iii) if the pricing with respect to such Incremental Term Loans (including fees, interest and original issue discount) exceeds the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans by more than 0.50%, then the Applicable Margin for the Term Loans will be increased to an amount equal to such pricing minus 0.50%, and (iv) except for any differences permitted hereby, the Incremental Term Loans shall have the same terms and conditions as the Term Loans (it being understood that Incremental Term Loans may be made as part of the existing tranche of Term Loans).

Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each such affected Lender shall take such action as is necessary to effect such conversion.

(f)  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
(g)  Any borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Loans, or conversion to or from Eurodollar Loans, or payments or prepayments of Eurodollar Loans, shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of Loans which are Eurodollar Loans shall be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all Loans which are Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be $2,500,000 or a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iii) there shall not be more than 15 Tranches of Loans which are Eurodollar Loans at any one time outstanding.

Unless the Company shall have notified the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt of such telecopy or telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such Affected Loans, then, as the case may be, any requested Eurodollar Loan shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan, continued as an Alternate Base Rate Loan or converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Affected Loans shall be made.
 
(b)  In the event that the Required determine that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not accurately reflect the cost to them of making or maintaining any Term Loans that the Company has requested that they make or maintain as, or convert to, Eurodollar Loans, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice of such determination to the Company on or before the requested

borrowing, conversion or continuation date for such Term Loans or the next succeeding Interest Period with respect thereto. Unless the Company shall have notified the Administrative Agent promptly after receipt of such telecopy or telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its borrowing request, then any such Eurodollar Loans shall be made as or converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans.
 
Section 7.9  Illegality. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to accept deposits in order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans, (i) such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Company thereof, (ii) the agreements of such Lender hereunder to make, continue or convert to Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended forthwith and (iii) such Lender’s Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall in the case of Eurodollar Loans automatically become Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods).
 
(b)  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
(c)  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
(d)  The Company agrees promptly to pay to any Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by it as a consequence of the Company making any repayment in accordance with this Section 7.9, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans. A certificate as to any such costs payable pursuant to this Section 7.9 submitted by an officer of any Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 7.10  Requirements of Law; Changes of Law. (a) In the event that the adoption of or any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
 
(i)  imposes upon such Lender any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, its Notes or any Loan, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for (w) income and franchise taxes imposed on such Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the jurisdiction of the principal office of such Lender or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or the office of such Lender from which it is making its Loans or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (x) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (w) above, (y) taxes resulting from the substitution of any such system by another system of taxation, provided, however, that the taxes payable by such Lender subject to such other system of taxation are not generally charged to borrowers from such Lender having loans or advances bearing interest at a rate similar to the Eurodollar Rate and (z) Non-Excluded Taxes, Other Taxes, and taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 7.12);

 

41

 


 
(ii)  imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against any Loan made, or assets held by, or credit extended by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or acquisition of funds by or for the account of, any office of such Lender, which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate hereunder; or
 
(iii)  imposes on such Lender any other condition;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of credit or to reduce any amount receivable by it in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay such Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as reasonably determined by it with respect to this Agreement, its Notes or its Loans after taking into account any amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 7.12(a). If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.10(a), it shall promptly notify the Company, through the Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by an officer of a Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
 
(b)  In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards or of any Requirement of Law otherwise regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which is reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, promptly after submission by such Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company of a written request therefor, the Company shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
 
(c)  The agreements in this Section 7.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
Section 7.11  Indemnity. The Company agrees to promptly pay and indemnify each Lender for, and to hold such Lender harmless from, any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur in its reemployment of funds obtained in connection with the making or maintaining of, or converting to, Eurodollar Loans as a consequence of (a) any default by the Company in borrowing such Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given a notice in respect thereof or (b) any default by the Company in converting Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given a notice in respect thereof or (c) any failure by the Company to prepay Eurodollar Loans after the Company has given notice in respect thereof or (d) any payment, prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) or conversion (whether optional or mandatory) of any Eurodollar Loan by the Company on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.11 submitted by an officer of a Lender, through the Administrative Agent, to the Company shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 7.11 shall

 

42

 


survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
Section 7.12  Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Company under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, (i) income and franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the jurisdiction of the principal office of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender or the office of such Lender from which it is making its Loans or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above (all such non-excluded Taxes being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of any Loan, the amounts so payable to it shall (without any obligation on the part of the Company to pay such amounts ratably in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5) be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Company, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Company shall send to the Administrative Agent, for its own account or for the account of the Collateral Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If the Company fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.
 
(b)  In addition, the Company shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(c)  Except as the Company shall otherwise consent, each Lender hereby severally (but not jointly) represents that, under applicable law and treaties in effect on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee, the date such Person became a Transferee), no United States federal taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent or the Company with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender in respect of this Agreement. Each Lender or Transferee which itself is not a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for federal income tax purposes or which is lending from an office that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees severally (but not jointly) that it will:
 
(i)  (1) prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Transferee, prior to the date it becomes a Transferee), deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that

 

43

 


such Lender or Transferee is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement and the Notes, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes;
 
(2)  deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of the such Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and
 
(3)  use its reasonable efforts to obtain such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying that such Lender or Transferee is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Non-Excluded Taxes; or
 
(ii)  in the case of any such Lender or Transferee that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) represent to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (ii) agree to furnish to the Company on or before the date of any payment by the Company, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit Q hereto (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form certifying to such Lender’s or Transferee’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement (and to deliver to the Company and the Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms), and (iii) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender or Transferee to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement; 
 
unless in any such case any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof, has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender or Transferee from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender or Transferee advises the Company that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.12(a) to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the account of any such Lender or Transferee on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to Section 7.12(a) (including, without limitation, the second sentence thereof) to the extent that such amount results from (i) the failure of any such Lender or Transferee to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.12(c) or (ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by any such Lender or Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.12(c)

 

44

 


proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when so made or deemed to be made.
 
(d)  Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the office in which it is booking its Loans) to avoid or to minimize any amounts in respect of taxes which might otherwise be payable pursuant to Section 7.10 or this Section 7.12; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material or otherwise be deemed by such Lender to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies.
 
(e)  In the event that such reasonable efforts pursuant to Section 7.12(c)(i) are insufficient to avoid all withholding taxes which would be payable pursuant to this Section 7.12, then such Lender (the “Taxable Lender”) shall use its reasonable efforts to transfer, at the cost of the Company, to any other Lender (which is not subject to such withholding taxes) its Loans and its Term Loan Commitment hereunder; provided, however, that such transfer shall not be deemed by such Taxable Lender, in its sole discretion, to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies. In the event that the Taxable Lender is unable, or otherwise is unwilling, so to transfer its Loans and Term Loan Commitment, the Company may, at its own cost, designate an alternate bank or other financial institution to purchase the Taxable Lender’s Loans and Term Loan Commitment and, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Taxable Lender shall transfer, at the cost of the Company, its Loans and Term Loan Commitment to such alternate bank or other financial institution and such alternate bank or other financial institution shall become a Lender hereunder.
 
(f)  The agreements in this Section 7.12 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
(g)  If a Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.12, it shall within a reasonable time from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to the Company, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Company, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid or portion thereof over to the Company (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or portion thereof to such taxation authority.
 
Section 7.13  [Intentionally Omitted.]
 
Section 7.14  Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest in respect of the Alternate Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon clause (a) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of the Alternate Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Federal Funds Effective Rate and the Eurodollar Loans shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent will, as soon as practicable, notify the Company and the Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate and of any change in the Alternate Base Rate and the effective date thereof. Any change in the interest rate on an Alternate Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in the

 

45

 


Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective.
 
(b)  Except as set forth in Section 7.8, each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders, in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 7.15  Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.
 
(a)  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders at the office of the Administrative Agent specified in Section 14.2, or at such other location as the Administrative Agent may direct, on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.15(d) promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.
 
(b)  If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment hereunder on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day unless the effect of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.
 
(c)  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Lender prior to a borrowing date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the borrowing to be made on such date available to the Administrative Agent on such borrowing date, 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 Company a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as determined by the Administrative Agent multiplied by (ii) such amount multiplied by (iii) a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to the Administrative Agent and of which the denominator is 360. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (c) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days after such borrowing date, Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, within eight Business Days after demand, from the Company.
 
(d)  Unless a Notice of Actionable Default has been delivered pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Company shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the

 

46

 


Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Loan Parties; second, to pay fees and expenses of the Agents then due and payable; third, all other Payment Obligations then due and payable; and fourth, as the Company so designates. All such payments shall be allocated ratably among such of the Agents and the Lenders as are entitled thereto.
 
(e)  The Company hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Payment Obligations (including all funds deposited in the Cash Concentration Account, any other Approved Deposit Account or any Cash Collateral Account) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Section 7.4 or Section 7.15(d), after the delivery of a Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all Notices of Actionable Default then pending pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all payments made to or received by any Agent or Lender constituting proceeds of Collateral shall be applied pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) all other payments made to or received by any Agent or Lender shall be applied in the following order:
 
(i)  first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of any Loans that any Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which such Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Loan Parties;
 
(ii)  second, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agents;
 
(iii)  third, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;
 
(iv)  fourth, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Agents;
 
(v)  fifth, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Lenders;
 
(vi)  sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of all Payment Obligations;
 
(vii)  seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments (and, when applicable, to provide cash collateral) for all Payment Obligations;
 
(viii)  eighth, to pay all other Payment Obligations; and
 
(ix)  ninth, as directed by the Company;
 
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Payment Obligations set forth in any of clauses first through eighth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Payment Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Payment Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of each Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Payment Obligations described in such clauses. The order of payment application set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) above may be amended at any time and from time to time by the

 

47

 


Required Lenders without any notice to or consent of or approval by any Loan Party or any other Person that is not a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that any such amendment adversely affecting any Agent shall also require the prior written consent of such Agent.

ARTICLE VIII

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

In order to induce the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each of them that:

Section 8.1    Corporate Existence. Each Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate (or other requisite legal) power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged, and is (to the extent applicable under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) duly qualified as a foreign corporation and (to the extent applicable under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where all such failures to so qualify and be in good standing would, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.2    Corporate Power. (a) Each Loan Party has the corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Company, to borrow hereunder, and it has taken as of the Closing Date all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Company, to authorize its borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(b)     No consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, stockholders or creditors of the Company or of any Parent of the Company), and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party by or against such Loan Party, except for (i) filing of the Mortgages referred to in Section 9.1(d), (ii) any filings required under the UCC, (iii) any filings required to be made with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, (iv) any filings, notices, consents, licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations, registrations or declarations required under the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the pledge of stock of Foreign Subsidiaries or any assets located in, or created under, the laws of any such jurisdiction or political subdivision and (v) any consents, licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations, exemptions, registrations, filings or declarations that have already been obtained and remain in full force and effect.

(c)     This Agreement has been, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party will be, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, when executed and delivered by it and the other parties thereto, will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms

 

48

 


except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity.

Section 8.3    No Legal Bar to Loans. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party will not violate any Contractual Obligation or material Requirement of Law to which such Loan Party is a party, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company is a party or by which such Loan Party or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company or any of their respective material properties or assets may be bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than under the Security Documents or as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement) on any of their respective material properties or assets pursuant to the provisions of any Contractual Obligation.

Section 8.4    No Material Litigation. No litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority is presently pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against it, any of the other Loan Parties, or any of its or their properties or assets, (a) with respect to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) with respect to the validity or enforceability of the obligations of the Company or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or (c) which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except (in the case of this clause (c) only) for any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which has been disclosed in any of the Company’s or Revlon’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and its reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 or which arises out of the same facts and circumstances, and alleges substantially the same complaints and damages, as any litigation, investigation or proceeding so disclosed and in which there has been no material adverse change since the date of such disclosure.

Section 8.5    No Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material respect in the payment or performance of any material obligations or in the performance of any Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets may be bound, and no Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any material order, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority binding upon or affecting it or by which any of its material properties or assets is bound or affected, and no such order, award or decree would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 8.6    Ownership of Properties; Liens. Except as is or would be permitted pursuant to Section 11.3, the Company and its Subsidiaries has (a) good and marketable title to all its owned, and valid leasehold interests in all its leased, real property and (b) good title to all its owned, and valid leasehold interests in all its leased, personal properties and assets, in each case subject to no Lien.

Section 8.7    Taxes. (a) The Company and each of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of the Company, any other member (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations §1.1502-1(b), or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) of the consolidated, combined or unitary group (if any) of which the Company is or was a member, has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all material tax returns (including, without limitation, information returns) which are required to be filed, and have paid all material taxes (whether or

 

49

 


not shown to be due and payable on such returns) or on any assessments made against them (other than those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves (in accordance with GAAP) have been provided on the books of the Company or such Subsidiary, or other member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group, as the case may be), and no tax Liens which violate Section 11.3(a) have been filed. As of the date hereof, the period within which United States federal income taxes may be assessed against the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has expired without further extension or waiver for all taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2002.

(b)    The Company does not intend to treat the Loans and the related transactions contemplated hereby as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4).

Section 8.8    ERISA. No Reportable Event has occurred during the immediately preceding six-year period with respect to any Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Plan (other than any Multiemployer Plan or any multiemployer health or welfare plan) has complied and has been administered in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except for such non-compliance that would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The amount by which (a) the present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on then current assumptions used to fund such Plan, except that the liability discount rate shall instead be the reasonable expected long term rate of return on plan assets used in the Company’s annual audited financial statements), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto (except with regard to the long term rate of return on plan assets, such rate used in the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the Company’s last fiscal year ending on or before such valuation date), exceeds (b) the value of the assets of each such Plan allocable to such benefits, in the aggregate for all such Plans as to which such present value of accrued benefits exceeds the value of its assets (the “Unfunded Pension Amount”), when aggregated with the Potential Withdrawal Liability (as hereinafter defined), is less than $70,000,000. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has during the immediately preceding six-year period had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any unpaid withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The “Potential Withdrawal Liability” shall mean the withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA to which the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject under ERISA if the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto. Neither the Company nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent where such Reorganization or Insolvency has resulted, or would be reasonably likely to result in an unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect nor, to the best knowledge of the Company, is any such Reorganization or Insolvency reasonably likely to occur.

Section 8.9    Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2003, December 31, 2004 and December 31, 2005 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates and the notes thereto present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such dates, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at

The Company will from time to time cause each Domestic Subsidiary thereof which has not previously done so to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent duly executed supplements and amendments to the Guaranty, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

Security Agreement and, if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 
(b)  The Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, pledge to the Collateral Agent 66% (rounded downward to eliminate any fraction of a share) of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of Stock and Stock Equivalents entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) (“Voting Stock”) and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of Stock and Stock Equivalents not entitled to vote (within the meaning of such regulation) (“Non-Voting Stock”) of each first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor which (in each case) is owned of record by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor and which has not previously been pledged hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors pledge an aggregate amount of Voting Stock that exceeds 66% of the total outstanding Voting Stock (taken as a whole) of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each such pledge shall be granted pursuant to duly executed joinders and amendments to the Pledge and Security Agreement and if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case, as (x) the Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to effectively grant a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in the Pledged Stock delivered thereto under the laws of the State of New York and, if such issuer of Pledged Stock is organized under the laws of the United Kingdom, Canada or Bermuda and, if requested by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion exercised reasonably and in accordance with customary business practices for comparable financing transactions, such other jurisdiction in which the issuer of such Pledged Stock is organized to the extent such jurisdiction constitutes, directly or indirectly, one of the top five net revenue generating markets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (y) is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless either the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall at any time otherwise reasonably request, no such pledge shall be required pursuant to this Section 10.11(b) with respect to the Stock and Stock Equivalents of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary listed on Schedule 8.13(b) which is not pledged on the Closing Date or is acquired or formed after the date hereof and either (A) is listed on Schedule 8.13(b) as being slated for liquidation, dissolution or merger or (B) does not have assets in excess of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to any other currency, the Equivalent thereof).
 
(c)  Each joinder and amendment to the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Security Documents required to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be promptly executed and delivered after the organization, acquisition or identification of any such Subsidiary Guarantor or first-tier Foreign Subsidiary and shall be accompanied by share certificates evidencing the Pledged Stock thereunder (to the extent that such Pledged Stock is certificated), together with an undated stock power for each such share certificate (duly executed in blank and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the pledgor of the Pledged Stock represented by such certificate). Each joinder and amendment to the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Security Documents executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be accompanied by (i) in the case of the pledge of Stock or Stock Equivalents of any Foreign Subsidiary, evidence of the taking of all such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such pledge, and (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, such resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)  In the event that there shall be a change in law that eliminates the adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would have resulted on the date

64

 


hereof (so that such consequences, if any, are immaterial) from the pledge of 66-2/3% or more of the Voting Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) pledge such additional amount of shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary the Voting Stock of which then is pledged hereunder) and (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.11(b), pledge the maximum amount of shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary the Voting Stock of which is pledged thereafter), in each case which can be so pledged without the incurrence of adverse tax consequences and take or cause to be taken such further action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (including, without limitation, the delivery of legal opinions) in order to perfect its security interest in such stock.

Section 10.12  Additional Collateral. The Company will cause each of its Subsidiary Guarantors which has not previously done so to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent duly executed joinders and amendments to the Pledge and Security Agreement and, if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to take such other action as reasonably shall be necessary or as the Administrative Agent reasonably shall request to grant to the Collateral Agent a valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in all Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor (subject to any Liens permitted by Section 11.3). Each such joinder and amendment shall be accompanied by such evidence of the taking of all actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such security interest (including, without limitation, the filing of any necessary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and such resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
 
Section 10.13  Asset Transfers. (a) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will grant to the Collateral Agent a first priority, perfected security interest (subject to any Liens thereon which are permitted to encumber the relevant asset pursuant to Section 11.3) in all properties and assets (whether tangible or intangible) of a type that constitutes Collateral under any Security Document to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party which are sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise distributed to the Company or any such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, by way of merger or consolidation) from any Subsidiary of the Company simultaneously with the effectiveness of such sale, transfer, conveyance or other distribution.
 
(b)  The Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor will take such action from time to time as is necessary (or otherwise reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) to ensure that the Collateral Agent at all times holds a perfected security interest in all Collateral under the Security Documents, except as otherwise permitted hereunder.

Section 10.14  Intellectual Property. (a) The Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, take such action as is necessary (or as otherwise is reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) in order to grant to the Collateral Agent a first priority, perfected security interest in any copyright registration in which the Company or any of the Subsidiary Guarantors may from time to time obtain any interest. The Company will submit, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to submit, to the Administrative Agent, by each January 31st and July 31st of each year following the Closing Date, commencing January 31, 2007 (or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably so requests in writing, more often; provided, however, that, except during such time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not so request more frequently than monthly), a Copyright Security

 

65

 


Agreement (substantially in the form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) confirming the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Copyright acquired or with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor filed an application for copyright registration during the two prior calendar quarters, duly executed and in proper form for recordation in the United States Copyright Office.

 
(b)  The Company will, to the extent permitted by Title 15 of the United States Code, submit, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to submit, to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for registration or recordation, as applicable:
 
(i)  a completed application for trademark registration, in such class or classes as is in conformity with its ordinary business practice then in effect, of each Trademark acquired or adopted and used or intended to be used by it, with respect to any mark which, in the Company’s reasonable judgment, is a Significant Trademark; provided, however, that within 30 days after receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, the Company shall, or shall cause the applicable Subsidiary Guarantor to, submit to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for registration a completed application for trademark registration, in such class or classes as is in conformity with its ordinary business practice then in effect, of any Trademark acquired or adopted and used or intended to be used by it, with respect to any mark which the Required Lenders reasonably deem to be of such significance as to require the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to take such steps as may be necessary or desirable to grant to the Collateral Agent a perfected, first priority security interest in such Trademark to the extent that it has any ownership interest in such Trademark which is registerable by it under trademark or other applicable law; and
 
(ii)  with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Significant Trademark, any appropriate assignment to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor of the interest acquired by it in the United States in such Significant Trademark, including, without limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s predecessors-in-interest of which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is or becomes aware.

The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, use its respective commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all requirements of the Lanham Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as from time to time in effect, or other applicable law necessary in order to validly register and maintain the registration of any such Significant Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, except as permitted pursuant to Sections 10.4, 11.5 and 11.6 hereof. The Company will submit, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to submit, to the Administrative Agent, by each January 31st and July 31st of each year following the Closing Date, commencing January 31, 2007 (or, if the Administrative Agent reasonably so requests in writing, more often; provided, however, that, except during such time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall not so request more frequently than monthly), a Trademark Security Agreement (substantially in the form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement or such other form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) confirming the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Trademark acquired or with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor filed an application for trademark registration during the two prior calendar quarters, duly executed and in proper form for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

(ii)  with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Patent, any appropriate assignment to the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the interest acquired by it in the United States in such Patent, including, without limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the Company’s or such Domestic Subsidiary’s predecessors-in-interest of which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is or becomes aware.
 
The Company will, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to, use its respective commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all requirements of the United States Patent Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, as from time to time in effect, or other applicable law necessary in order to validly obtain and maintain any Patent with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, except as permitted pursuant to Sections 10.4, 11.5 and 11.6 hereof.

The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that any security interest held by the Collateral Agent in any Patent or Trademark which is licensed in accordance with the provisions of this Section

NONE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS OR REPRESENTATIVES (THE “AGENT AFFILIATES”) WARRANT THE ACCURACY, ADEQUACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM AND EACH EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS LIABILITY FOR ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS AND THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS) IS MADE BY THE AGENT AFFILIATES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.
 
(d)  Each of the Lenders and the Company agrees, and the Company shall cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to agree, that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

Section 13.4  The Agents Individually. With respect to its Term Loan Commitment and Loans, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, each in their individual capacity, shall each have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms “Lenders”, “Required Lenders”, and any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Required Lenders. The

 

90

 


Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent or any of their respective Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with, the Company and any Loan Party as if such Person were not acting as an Agent.

 
Section 13.5  Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Company and each Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans. Each Lender also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.
 
Section 13.6  Indemnification. Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), from and against such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, such Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company or another Loan Party.
 

Section 13.7  Successor Agent. Subject to the terms of this Section 13.7, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders. In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan

 

91

 


Documents. After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article XIII as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no Lender has accepted appointment as a successor Administrative Agent within 30 days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Required Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. The resignation and removal of the Collateral Agent shall be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement.

Section 13.8  Concerning the Collateral and the Security Documents.
 
(a)  Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Required Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders and the other Secured Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with the Collateral and with the Security Documents, (ii) execute and deliver each Security Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by Revlon, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein; provided, however, that the Collateral Agent hereby appoints, authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent and each Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens with respect to the Collateral, including any Deposit Accounts maintained by a Loan Party with, and cash and Cash Equivalents held by, the Administrative Agent and Lender, (iv) manage, supervise and otherwise deal with the Collateral, (v) take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens created or purported to be created by the Security Documents and (vi) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, upon receipt of instructions from the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise all remedies given to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the other Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral under the Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable law or otherwise.
 
(b)  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent (without any further notice or consent) to, promptly release or subordinate any Lien as set forth in Section 9 of the Intercreditor Agreement.

The Administrative Agent shall, as soon as practicable, furnish a copy of each such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to each Lender.

(c)      To the extent (a) the consent of any Lender in its capacity as a Lender is required, but not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 14.1(c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver (a “Proposed Change”) and (b) the Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Proposed Change, at the request of the Company and with the consent of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion exercised reasonably), any Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (which Eligible Assignee may be the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent and shall have consented to such Proposed Change) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sell and assign to such Eligible Assignee all of the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and purchase (the “Purchase Amount”); provided, however, that such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) shall not be effective until (A) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative

Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and assignment and (y) to the extent the Term Loan Commitments and Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance are evidenced by a Note or Notes, such Note or Notes; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance or deliver such Note or Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid.

97

 


(c)     Any obligation of the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 14.5 shall survive Full Satisfaction of the Payment Obligations.

Section 14.6     Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect. (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans); provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except (A) with the consent of the Company and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14.6, the consent of the Company shall not be required (x) for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) for any assignment by the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate or Related Fund of the Administrative Agent of the Term Loan Commitment or Loans held on the Closing Date by the Administrative Agent or any such Affiliate or Related Fund if such assignment is made as part of the primary syndication of the Facility.

(b)     The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 14.1(c), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including without limitation the obligations under Section 7.12(c)) of a Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no Transferee (including an assignee that is already a Lender hereunder at the time of the assignment) shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 7.12 than that to which the assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive had no such assignment occurred, (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notification in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Payment Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Solely for purposes of calculating the assignment fee under this Section 14.6(b), multiple assignments on the same date by a Lender to its Affiliates or Related Funds shall constitute one assignment.

(c)      The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the applicable Term Loan Commitments of and principal amount of and interest with respect to the Term Loans owing

 

98

 


to each applicable Lender from time to time (each, a “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.6 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in such Register. The entries in each Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. All information contained in each Register as to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Term Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Term Loans shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 14.6 shall be construed so that the Term Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agent shall act as the Company’s agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in each Register.

(e)     Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the applicable Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Company, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Loans and Term Loan Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Loans or Term Loan Commitment hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Loans or Term Loan Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes.

(f)      In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 14.6, each Lender may do each of the following:

(i)     grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Payment Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Payment Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and

 

99

 


(ii)     assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agent or the Company, (1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 14.6 other than this clause (f) or clause (g) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Payment Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Company from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Payment Obligations, amend this clause (f) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; provided, further, that any such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have complied with the requirements of Section 7.12.

(g)      Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal, interest or fees payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 9 of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other

 

100

 


parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Payment Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; provided, further, that any such participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 7.12.

(h)     This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and, in each case, their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Company shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

Section 14.7     Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans owing to it, or interest thereon, pursuant to a guarantee or otherwise, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans owing to it or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of each such other Lender’s similar Loans, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders which hold such Term Loans; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Company agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such purchasing Lender were the direct holder of such portion. After the delivery of a Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all Notices of Actionable Default then pending, all payments or Collateral (or proceeds thereof) received by any Agent or Lender in contravention of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent to be applied pursuant to Section 7.15(e).

(b)     Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon both the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Payment Obligations owing in connection with this Agreement, each Lender and each of its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of the Company to such or any other Lender or such Affiliate any amount owing from such Lender or such Affiliate to the Company at, or at any time after, the happening of both of the above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may be exercised by such Lender or such Affiliate against the Company or against any

 

101

 


trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, custodian or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Company, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Lender or such Affiliate prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Lender or such Affiliate of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

104

 


leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any Agent or any Lender having become the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) to the extent attributable to acts of the Agents, such Lender or any agent on behalf of such Agent or such Lender.

(b)     The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, indemnify the Agents and the Lenders for, and hold the Agents and the Lenders harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Agents and the Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d)     The Company agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 14.17) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive Full Satisfaction of the Payment Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 14.18     Limitation of Liability. (a) The Company agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Company hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of Revlon and the Company’s Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

 

105

 


(b)     IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY AGENT AFFILIATE’S TRANSMISSION OF APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS THROUGH THE INTERNET OR ANY USE OF THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH LIABILITY OF ANY AGENT AFFILIATE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED PRIMARILY FORM SUCH AGENT AFFILIATE’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT.

55

 


 
Currency Commitment; provided, however, that at no time (after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loans and the use of the proceeds thereof) may the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit exceed the Maximum Multi-Currency Availability. During the Commitment Period, the Company may use the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment by borrowing Revolving Credit Loans, repaying the Revolving Credit Loans in whole or in part and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
 
(b) The Company shall have the right to send to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, after the Closing Date, one or more Facilities Increase Notices to request an increase (each a “Facilities Increase”) in the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment in a principal amount not to exceed $50,000,000 in the aggregate for all such requests; provided, however, that (A) no Facilities Increase shall be requested later than one year prior to the Stated Multi-Currency Termination Date, and (B) no Facilities Increase shall become effective earlier than 10 days after the delivery of the Facilities Increase Notice to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent in respect of such Facilities Increase. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate any Lender to negotiate for (whether or not in good faith), solicit, provide or consent to any increase in the Multi-Currency Commitments, and any such increase may be subject to changes in any term herein. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the proposed Facilities Increase and of the proposed terms and conditions therefor agreed between the Company and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent. Each such Lender (and each of their Affiliates and Related Funds) may, in its sole discretion, commit to participate in such Facilities Increase by forwarding its commitment to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent therefor in form and substance satisfactory to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall allocate, in its sole discretion but in amounts not to exceed for each such Lender the commitment received from such Lender, Affiliate or Approved Fund, the Multi-Currency Commitments to be made as part of the Facilities Increase to the Lenders from which it has received such written commitments. If the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent does not receive enough commitments from existing Lenders or their Affiliates or Approved Funds, it may, after consultation with the Company, allocate to Eligible Assignees any excess of the proposed amount of such Facilities Increase agreed with the Company over the aggregate amounts of the commitments received from existing Lenders. Each Facilities Increase shall become effective on a date agreed by the Company and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (each a “Facilities Increase Date”), which shall be in any case on or after the date of satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 9.3. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company, on or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day following the Facilities Increase Date of the effectiveness of the Facilities Increase on the Facilities Increase Date and shall record in the Register all applicable additional information in respect of such Facilities Increase. On the Facilities Increase Date for any Facilities Increase, each Lender or Eligible Assignee participating in such Facilities Increase shall purchase and assume from each existing Multi-Currency Lender having Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such Facilities Increase Date, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Lender’s Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the new Multi-Currency Commitments (after giving effect to such Facilities Increase), in the aggregate outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit, so as to ensure that, on the Facilities Increase Date after giving effect to such Facilities Increase, each Multi-Currency Lender is owed only its Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the Revolving Credit Loans and participations in Letters of Credit outstanding on such Facilities Increase Date.
 
Section 3.2   Obligations of Company.   (a) The Company hereby agrees that each Revolving Credit Loan made by each Multi-Currency Lender to the Company pursuant

(c) The Company agrees that, upon the request to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent by any Multi-Currency Lender at any time, the Revolving Credit Loans of such Multi-Currency Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note of the Company, substantially in the form of Exhibit B with appropriate insertions as to date and principal amount (a “Revolving Credit Note”), payable to the order of such Multi-Currency Lender and representing the obligation of the Company to pay a principal amount equal to the amount of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment of such Multi-Currency Lender or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans made by such Multi-Currency Lender, with interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from time to time outstanding under such Revolving Credit Note as prescribed in Section 7.5.
 
Section 3.3   Procedure for Borrowing Revolving Credit Loans.   (a) The Company may request a borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans during the Commitment Period on any Working Day, if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans, or on any Business Day, if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are Alternate Base Rate Loans, by submitting an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, (iii) the Available Multi-Currency Commitment (after giving effect to the proposed borrowing), (iv) whether the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans or a combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing and (v) if the Revolving Credit Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans, the length of the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto; provided, however, that any Revolving Credit Loans to be made to the Company on the Closing Date shall be made as Alternate Base Rate Loans. Any such notice of borrowing must be received by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, three Working Days prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, and one Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans. Each borrowing of Revolving Credit Loans shall, subject to Section 7.7(g), be in an aggregate principal amount equal to (x) $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Eurodollar Loans) or (y) the lesser of $2,500,000 (or, if less, the maximum amount which is then
 

 

57

 


 
available to the Company pursuant to Section 3.1) or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof (in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans). Upon receipt of any such notice, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Multi-Currency Lender thereof. Each Multi-Currency Lender will make available to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent at the office of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent specified in Section 14.2 (or at such other location as the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may direct), by 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the requested borrowing date, an amount equal to the Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of such Multi-Currency Lender multiplied by the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans requested to be borrowed in Dollars, in funds immediately available to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent.

(b) The failure of any Multi-Currency Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by it on any requested borrowing date shall not relieve any other Multi-Currency Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Revolving Credit Loan on such borrowing date, but no Multi-Currency Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Multi-Currency Lender to make the Revolving Credit Loan to be made by such other Multi-Currency Lender on such borrowing date.
 
Section 3.4   Use of Proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans.   The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans hereunder shall be used for the purpose of refinancing certain outstanding Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries under the Existing Agreement and other existing Indebtedness, and for general corporate purposes not prohibited hereunder.

Each L/C Participant unconditionally and irrevocably agrees with such Issuing Lender that, if a draft is paid under any Letter of Credit issued by it for which such Issuing Lender is not reimbursed in full by the Company in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender upon demand at such Issuing Lender’s address for notices specified herein an amount equal to such L/C Participant’s Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the Equivalent in Dollars of the amount of such draft, or any part thereof, which is not so reimbursed.

(b) If any amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant to an Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 5.3(a) in respect of any unreimbursed portion of any payment made by such Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit issued by it is paid to such Issuing Lender within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such L/C Participant shall pay to such Issuing Lender on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, multiplied by the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, as quoted by such Issuing Lender, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such Issuing Lender, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any L/C Participant pursuant to Section 5.3(a) is not in fact made available to such Issuing Lender by such L/C Participant within three Business Days after the date such payment is due, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover from such L/C Participant, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the relevant Issuing Lender submitted to any L/C Participant with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 5.3(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
 
(c) Whenever, at any time after any Issuing Lender has made payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and has received from any L/C Participant its pro rata share of such payment in accordance with Section 5.3(a), such Issuing Lender receives any payment related to such Letter of Credit (whether directly from the Company or otherwise, including proceeds of collateral applied thereto by such Issuing Lender), or any payment of interest on account thereof, such Issuing Lender promptly will distribute to such L/C Participant its pro rata share thereof; provided, however, that in the event that any such payment received by such Issuing Lender shall be required to be returned by such Issuing Lender, such L/C Participant shall return to such Issuing Lender the portion thereof previously distributed by such Issuing Lender to it.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 5.3, the failure of any L/C Participant to make any payment due by it under this Section 5.3 in a timely manner shall not relieve any other L/C Participant of its obligation hereunder to make its own payment in a timely manner, but no L/C Participant shall be responsible for the failure of any other L/C Participant to make any payment pursuant to this Section 5.3 owing by such other L/C Participant on any date.
 
Section 5.4   L/C Reimbursement Obligation of the Company.   The Company agrees to reimburse each Issuing Lender on each date on which such Issuing Lender notifies the Company of the date and amount of a draft presented under any Letter of Credit issued and paid by such Issuing Lender for the amount of (a) such draft so paid and (b) any taxes, fees, charges or other costs or expenses incurred by such Issuing Lender in connection with such payment. Each such payment shall be made to the relevant Issuing Lender at its address for notices specified herein (or, if such Issuing Lender has notified the Company that such Letter of Credit was issued from a different lending office of such Issuing Lender at the request of the Company, the lending office from which such Letter of Credit was issued) in lawful money of the United States or the applicable Denomination Currency, as the case may be, and in immediately available funds. Interest shall be payable on any and all amounts remaining unpaid by the Company under this Section 5.4 from the date such amounts become payable (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) until payment in full at the rate which would be payable on any outstanding Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans which were then overdue.
 

 

62

 


 
Section 5.5   Obligations Absolute.   The Company’s obligations under this Section 5 shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and irrespective of any setoff, counterclaim or defense to payment which the Company may have or have had against the relevant Issuing Lender, any beneficiary of Letter of Credit, any Lender or any other Person. The Company also agrees with each Issuing Lender that such Issuing Lender shall not be responsible for, and the Company’s L/C Reimbursement Obligations under Section 5.4 shall not be affected by, among other things, the validity or genuineness of documents or of any endorsements thereon, even though such documents shall in fact prove to be invalid, fraudulent or forged, or any dispute between or among the Company and any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other party to which such Letter of Credit may be transferred or any claims whatsoever of the Company against any beneficiary of such Letter of Credit or any such transferee. No Issuing Lender shall be liable for any error, omission, interruption or delay in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message or advice, however transmitted, in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it, except for errors or omissions caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Company agrees that any action taken or omitted by any Issuing Lender under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender or the related drafts or documents, if done in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct and in accordance with the standards of care specified in the UCC, shall be binding on the Company and shall not result in any liability of such Issuing Lender to the Company.
 
Section 5.6   Letter of Credit Payments.   If any draft shall be presented for payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit shall promptly notify the Company of the date and amount thereof. The responsibility of such Issuing Lender to the Company in connection with any draft presented for payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it shall, in addition to any payment obligation expressly provided for in such Letter of Credit, be limited to determining that the documents (including each draft) delivered under such Letter of Credit in connection with such presentment are in conformity with such Letter of Credit.
 
Section 5.7   Application.   To the extent that any provision of any Application or other agreement required by the Issuing Lender related to any Letter of Credit is inconsistent with the provisions of the other Loan Documents, the provisions of the other Loan Documents shall apply.
 
Section 5.8   Cash Collateral for Letters of Credit.   (a) If the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Required Multi-Currency Lenders shall so request when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall promptly deposit in a Cash Collateral Account under the direction of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent the amount equal to 105% of Equivalent in Dollars of the sum of the aggregate amount of all Undrawn L/C Obligations (the “Deposit Requirement”). The Company further agrees that, from and after any such request for cash collateralization, so long as such Event of Default is continuing, the Company will deposit from time to time into such Cash Collateral Account any such additional amounts as shall be necessary to cause the amount on deposit therein to be not less than the amount of the Deposit Requirement then in effect.
 
(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may direct the Collateral Agent to apply amounts held in the Cash Collateral Account maintained pursuant to paragraph (a) above to the payment of the Payment Obligations on account of the Letters of Credit in such order as the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall elect, with any amounts remaining on deposit therein
 

 

63

 


 
after giving effect to such application on account of the Letters of Credit to be applied pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement.
 
Section 5.9   Existing Letters of Credit.   Schedule 5.9 (Existing Letters of Credit) contains a schedule of certain letters of credit issued prior to the Closing Date by Citibank, N.A. for the account of any Borrower. On the Closing Date, (i) such letters of credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto converted to Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 5.9 for the account of such Borrower and subject to the provisions hereof, and for this purpose the fees specified in Section 5.4 shall be payable (in substitution for any fees set forth in the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such letters of credit) as if such letters of credit had been issued on the Closing Date, (ii) each of the issuers of such Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be an “Issuing Lender” hereunder solely for the purpose of maintaining such letters of credit, (iii) the Equivalent in Dollars of the face amount of such letters of credit shall be included in the calculation of L/C Obligations and (iv) all liabilities of the Borrowers with respect to such letters of credit shall constitute Payment Obligations. No letter of credit converted in accordance with this Section 5.9 shall be amended, extended or renewed without the prior written consent of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF LOCAL LOAN SUB-FACILITY
 
Section 6.1   Local Loan Commitments.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Local Fronting Lender severally agrees to make loans (and, to the extent provided in Section 6.9, to create Acceptances) under the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment in Dollars and in the Denomination Currency set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1.1 to the Company and to the Local Borrowing Subsidiary for such Denomination Currency from time to time during the Commitment Period (individually, a “Local Loan”; collectively, the “Local Loans”); provided, however, that, after giving effect to the making and the use of proceeds thereof, (i) the aggregate amount of the Local Outstandings of such Local Fronting Lender shall not exceed the amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then in effect and (ii) the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit shall not exceed the Maximum Multi-Currency Availability. The Local Loans made by each Local Fronting Lender generally shall be made by such Local Fronting Lender from a lending office which is located within the jurisdiction of its respective Denomination Currency; provided, however, that, in the event that the Company or the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary so requests and the relevant Local Fronting Lender (in its sole discretion) so agrees, any Local Loans to be made by such Local Fronting Lender may be made from a lending office of such Local Fronting Lender which is not located in the jurisdiction of its Denomination Currency. During the Commitment Period, the Local Borrowers may use the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment by borrowing Local Loans and Acceptances, repaying the Local Loans and Acceptances in whole or in part and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof.
 
Section 6.2   Obligations of Local Borrowers.   (a) Each Local Borrower hereby agrees that each Local Loan made by each Local Fronting Lender to such Local Borrower pursuant hereto shall constitute the promise and obligation of such Local Borrower to pay to such Local Fronting Lender, at the office of such Local Fronting Lender listed on Schedule III hereto (or, if such Local Fronting Lender has notified such Local Borrower that a Local Loan was funded by a different lending office of such Local Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 6.1, the lending office from which such Local Loan was funded), in lawful money of the Denomination
 

 

64

 


 
Currency (or, with respect to Local Loans which are Dollar Loans, in Dollars) and in immediately available funds the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Local Loans made by such Local Fronting Lender pursuant to Section 6.1, which amounts shall be due and payable (whether at maturity or by acceleration) as set forth in this Agreement and, in any event, on the Multi-Currency Termination Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (i) no Local Borrowing Subsidiary organized under the laws of any jurisdiction outside the United States shall pay or be obligated under any Loan Document to pay any amounts other than the Payment Obligations arising from the Local Loans of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary, including any amounts owing by or on account of any other Loan Party pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in respect of any other Secured Obligations and (ii) no assets of any Local Borrowing Subsidiary organized outside of the United States shall be used to pay or secure obligations of the Company, any other Loan Party or any other Local Borrowing Subsidiary under any Loan Document or in respect of any other Secured Obligations.
 
(b) Each Local Borrower hereby agrees that each Local Fronting Lender is authorized to record (i) the date, amount and currency of each Local Loan made by such Local Fronting Lender to such Local Borrower pursuant to Section 6.1, (ii) the date of each interest rate conversion pursuant to Section 7.7 which is applicable to such Local Loan and the principal amount subject thereto, (iii) the date and amount of each payment or prepayment of principal of and interest with respect to each Local Loan made by such Local Borrower to such Local Fronting Lender and (iv) in the case of each Local Loan which bears interest at a rate based upon the relevant Eurocurrency Rate or Eurodollar Rate or (if it is customary in the relevant jurisdiction for Local Rate Loans to be subject to Interest Periods) Local Rate, the interest rate and Interest Period, in the books and records of such Local Fronting Lender and in such manner as is reasonable and customary for it and a certificate of an officer of such Local Fronting Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the information so recorded, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided, however, that the failure to make any such recording or any error in such recording shall not in any way affect the Payment Obligations of the relevant Local Borrower hereunder.
 
Section 6.3   Procedure for Borrowing Local Loans.   Each Local Borrower may request a borrowing of Local Loans under the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment in Dollars or in the relevant Denomination Currency from the applicable Local Fronting Lender during the Commitment Period on any Working Day, if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or on any Business Day, if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Alternate Base Rate Loans or Local Rate Loans, by submitting an irrevocable Notice of Borrowing to the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent), specifying (i) the aggregate principal amount of the relevant currency to be borrowed, (ii) the requested borrowing date, (iii) whether the Local Loans to be borrowed are to be Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of Dollar Loans) or Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans (in the case of other Local Loans) or (in either case) a combination thereof and, if a combination, the respective aggregate amount of each type of borrowing and (iv) if the Local Loans to be borrowed are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or (if it is customary in the relevant jurisdiction for Local Rate Loans to be subject to Interest Periods) Local Rate Loans, the length of the Interest Period or Interest Periods applicable thereto; provided, however, that any Local Loans to be made to the Company or a Local Borrowing Subsidiary on the Closing Date shall be made as Local Rate Loans. Any such notice of borrowing must be received by the relevant Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., local time, three Working Days prior to the requested borrowing date (or such shorter period prior thereto as such Local Fronting Lender may agree) in the case of Eurodollar Loans or
 

 

65

 


 
Eurocurrency Loans, and on the requested borrowing date, in the case of Alternate Base Rate or Local Rate Loans (with the presentation by any third party of any check or draft drawn on the account of the relevant Local Borrower or any other borrowing by way of overdraft being deemed to constitute a notice of borrowing of Local Rate Loans in the amount of such check, draft or other borrowing, to the extent that insufficient funds are then available for the payment thereof in the account of such Local Borrower with the relevant Local Fronting Lender); provided, further, that the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, suspend the right of the Local Borrowers with respect to any one or more Denomination Currencies to borrow Alternate Base Rate Loans or Local Rate Loans on the basis of same-day notice by providing written notice of such suspension to the Company and the affected Local Borrowing Subsidiaries (with a copy to the relevant Local Fronting Lender) not less than two Business Days prior to the effectiveness thereof (or, during such time as any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, on the date of such effectiveness), in which event any such notice of borrowing (other than any notice of borrowing deemed to be made on account of a check, draft or other customary means of borrowing by way of overdraft drawn by such Local Borrower prior to the date of such notice of suspension) of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Local Rate Loans must (until such notice of suspension has been revoked by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) be received by the Local Fronting Lender prior to 11:00 A.M., local time, one Business Day prior to the requested borrowing date. In the event that the relevant Local Fronting Lender determines on the requested borrowing date that the making of such requested Local Loan will not cause the Local Outstandings of such Local Fronting Lender to exceed the amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then in effect (in each case, as has been notified to such Local Fronting Lender by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.8(b)), such Local Fronting Lender will make the requested Local Loan available to the relevant Local Borrower, at the principal lending office of such Local Fronting Lender in the relevant jurisdiction, by 1:00 P.M., local time, on the requested borrowing date, in funds immediately available to such Local Borrower. Promptly following the making of each such Local Loan, such Local Fronting Lender shall provide notice to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of the amount thereof. The minimum amount of each borrowing of Local Loans shall, subject to Section 7.7(g), be in an aggregate principal amount (not to exceed the relevant Currency Sublimit) to be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Local Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.3, no Local Fronting Lender shall be obligated hereunder to advance any Local Loan by way of an overdraft, but rather shall provide overdrafts only if it elects (in its sole discretion) to do so. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Local Loans (as defined in the Existing Agreement) which are outstanding on the Closing Date from a Local Fronting Lender hereunder listed on Schedule 6.3 shall be deemed to be refinanced with “Local Loans” (as defined herein) hereunder.
 
Section 6.4   Currency Conversion and Contingent Funding Agreement.   (a) Each Multi-Currency Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to purchase (in Dollars) an undivided participating interest in its ratable share of such Local Loans and Acceptances made by such Local Fronting Lenders as the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may at any time request; provided, however, that:
 
(i) the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent hereby agrees that, it will not request any such purchase of participating interests unless a Liquidity Event Period has commenced and is continuing or a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;
 
(ii) the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it promptly will request that the Multi-Currency Lenders purchase such participating interest in all
 

 

66

 


 
Local Loans and Acceptances made by any Local Fronting Lender which provides to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent a written certification that an Event of Default described in Section 12.1(a) is continuing with respect to the Local Loans or Acceptances made by such Local Fronting Lender and requesting that such request be made by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent; and
 
(iii) in the event that any of the events specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 12.1(j) shall have occurred with respect to any Local Borrower, each Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to have purchased, automatically and without request, such participating interest in the Local Loans and Acceptances made to such Local Borrower.
 
Any such request by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall be made in writing to each Multi-Currency Lender and shall specify the amount of Dollars (based upon the actual exchange rate at which the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent anticipates being able to obtain the relevant Denomination Currency, with any excess payment being refunded to the Multi-Currency Lenders and any deficiency remaining payable by the Multi-Currency Lenders) required from such Multi-Currency Lender in order to effect the purchase by such Multi-Currency Lender of a participating interest in the amount equal to its Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage multiplied by the aggregate then outstanding principal amount (in the Denomination Currency) of the relevant Local Loans and Acceptances (together with accrued interest thereon and other amounts owing in connection therewith) in such Denomination Currency. Promptly upon receipt of such request, each Multi-Currency Lender shall deliver to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (in immediately available funds) the amount so specified by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall convert such amounts into the relevant Denomination Currency and shall promptly deliver the proceeds of such conversion to the relevant Local Fronting Lender in immediately available funds. From and after such purchase, (i) the outstanding Local Loans and Acceptances in which the Multi-Currency Lenders have purchased such participations shall be deemed to have been converted into Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (with such conversion constituting, for purposes of Section 7.11, a prepayment of such Local Loans and Acceptances before the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto), (ii) any further Local Loans to be made to such Borrower shall be made in Dollars, with each Multi-Currency Lender purchasing a participating interest therein in the manner described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.4(a) immediately upon the making thereof in the amount equal to such Multi-Currency Lender’s Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage thereof (with the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent hereby agreeing to provide prompt notice to each such Multi-Currency Lender of its receipt from the relevant Local Fronting Lender of a notice of borrowing and of making the relevant Local Loan), (iii) no further Acceptances shall be created for the account of such Borrower, (iv) all amounts from time to time accruing, and all amounts from time to time payable, on account of such Local Loans and Acceptances (including, without limitation, any interest and other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Local Loan or Acceptance, as the case may be, had originally been made in Dollars and shall (other than with respect to the portion of the Applicable Margin which, pursuant to Section 7.5, is expressly stated to be paid for the account of the Local Fronting Lender) be distributed by the relevant Local Fronting Lender to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the accounts of the Multi-Currency Lenders, on account of such participating interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 6.4, the failure of any Multi-Currency Lender to purchase its participating interest in any Local Loan or Acceptance shall not relieve any other Multi-Currency Lender of its obligation hereunder to purchase its participating interest in a timely manner, but no Multi-Currency Lender shall be
 

 

67

 


 
responsible for the failure of any other Multi-Currency Lender to purchase the participating interest to be purchased by such other Multi-Currency Lender on any date.
 
(b) If any amount required to be paid by any Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to Section 6.4(a) is paid to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which such Multi-Currency Lender receives notice from the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent that the Local Loan or Acceptance in which such Multi-Currency Lender has purchased a participating interest has been made or created (as the case may be), such Multi-Currency Lender shall pay to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of such amount, times the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate, as quoted by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, during the period from and including the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, times a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days that elapse during such period and the denominator of which is 360. If any such amount required to be paid by any Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to Section 6.4(a) is not in fact made available to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent within three Business Days following the date upon which such Multi-Currency Lender receives notice from the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent that the Local Loan or Acceptance in which such Multi-Currency Lender has purchased a participating interest has been made or created (as the case may be), the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover from such Multi-Currency Lender, on demand, such amount with interest thereon calculated from such due date at the rate per annum applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder. A certificate of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent submitted to any Multi-Currency Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 6.4(b) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Amounts payable by any Multi-Currency Lender pursuant to this Section 6.4(b) shall be paid to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Local Fronting Lender; provided, however, that, if the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) has elected to fund on behalf of such Multi-Currency Lender the amounts owing to such Local Fronting Lender, then the amounts shall be paid to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for its own account.
 
(c) Whenever, at any time after the relevant Local Fronting Lender has received from any Multi-Currency Lender such Multi-Currency Lender’s participating interest in a Local Loan or Acceptance pursuant to clause(a), the Local Fronting Lender receives any payment on account thereof, such Local Fronting Lender will distribute to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the account of such Multi-Currency Lender, such Multi-Currency Lender’s participating interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Multi-Currency Lender’s participating interest was outstanding) in like funds as received; provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by such Local Fronting Lender is required to be returned, such Multi-Currency Lender will return to such Local Fronting Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by such Local Fronting Lender to such Multi-Currency Lender in like funds as such payment is required to be returned by such Local Fronting Lender.
 
(d) Each Multi-Currency Lender’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to clause (a) above shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (a) any set-off, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Multi-Currency Lender may have against the relevant Local Fronting Lender, the relevant Local Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (b) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (c) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the relevant Local Borrower or any
 

 

68

 


 
other Person; (d) any breach of this Agreement by the relevant Local Borrower, any other Local Borrower or any other Lender; or (e) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Multi-Currency Lender shall be obligated to purchase participating interests in any Local Loans made by a Local Fronting Lender to the extent that such Local Loans (at the time when made) caused the amount of Local Loans outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender to be in excess of the Currency Sublimit then in effect with respect to such Local Fronting Lender.
 
Section 6.5   Designation of Additional Denomination Currencies.   (a) The Company may from time to time request that any one or more additional freely available currencies which are freely transferable and freely convertible into Dollars be designated as “Denomination Currencies” hereunder by providing written notice to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent specifying (i) the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary for such currency (which need not be an existing Local Borrowing Subsidiary), (ii) the requested amount of the Currency Sublimit for such Denomination Currency and (iii) specifying the Local Fronting Lender with respect thereto and the Maximum Sublimit to be inserted in Schedule III for such Local Fronting Lender; provided, however, that in no event shall the sum of all Currency Sublimits (after giving effect to the requested designation of an additional Denomination Currency and any concurrent re-allocation of the Currency Sublimits pursuant to Section 6.6) exceed the Aggregate Currency Sublimit then in effect. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to each Multi-Currency Lender a copy of any such notice. Within ten Business Days following the receipt of such notice, each Multi-Currency Lender shall notify the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent in writing whether such designation is acceptable to such Multi-Currency Lender (in its sole discretion) and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent promptly shall notify the Company thereof.
 
(b) In the event that such designation is acceptable to the Required Multi-Currency Lenders, the Company shall cause the requested Local Borrowing Subsidiary to deliver to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (i) a Local Borrowing Subsidiary Joinder Agreement, (ii) such other documents, instruments, agreements and legal opinions as the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent reasonably may request (including, in any event, an opinion of local counsel in the relevant jurisdiction to the effect that no Multi-Currency Lender, other than the relevant Local Fronting Lender, shall be deemed to be doing business in the relevant jurisdiction, or otherwise shall be subject to regulation or taxation therein, solely as a result of the agreements set forth herein; with such legal opinions to be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Required Multi-Currency Lenders) and (iii) a Local Fronting Lender Joinder Agreement from the Local Fronting Lender for such Denomination Currency.
 
(c) From and after the date upon which the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent has received the documents (all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) described in Section 6.5(b), Schedule III hereto shall be deemed to be amended to reflect (i) the designation of such currency as a Denomination Currency, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Currency Sublimit and Maximum Sublimit with respect thereto, (iii) the name and applicable local lending office of the relevant Local Fronting Lender with respect thereto and (iv) the name of the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary.
 
(d) With respect to any Denomination Currency set forth on Schedule III, the Company may designate an additional or different Local Borrowing Subsidiary with respect thereto with the approval of the Required Multi-Currency Lenders and the relevant Local Fronting Lender, which designation shall take effect from and after the date upon which the
 

 

69

 


 
Multi-Currency Administrative Agent has received the documents described in Section 6.5(b)(i) and (ii) with respect to such designated Local Borrowing Subsidiary and from and after such date Schedule III shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the name of the Local Borrowing Subsidiary so designated.
 
(e) The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Multi-Currency Lenders of the effectiveness of any such designation and shall deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the Company a revised version of Schedule III which reflects any such amendment.
 
Section 6.6   Re-Allocation of Currency Sublimits.   (a) The Company (on its own behalf and as agent of the Local Borrowing Subsidiaries) may from time to time (but, unless the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall otherwise agree, not more frequently than two times per calendar month) request that the amount of any one or more Currency Sublimits be increased and/or the amount of any one or more Currency Sublimits be decreased by delivering a written request for such re-allocation to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent. Each such request shall specify the amount (in Dollars) of the increase or decrease, as the case may be, applicable to each affected Currency Sublimit. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall deliver to each affected Local Fronting Lender a copy of such request promptly following receipt thereof.
 
(b) Unless the revised Currency Sublimit of any Local Fronting Lender will, after giving effect to the requested re-allocation of Currency Sublimits, be in excess of the Maximum Sublimit then in effect for such Local Fronting Lender, then the Currency Sublimits shall be deemed to be so re-allocated and Schedule III shall be deemed to be amended to reflect such reallocation; provided, however, that (i) no Local Fronting Lender shall be required to lend more than its Currency Sublimit (as in effect prior to the effectiveness of such re-allocation) until such Local Fronting Lender has received notice from the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of the effectiveness of such re-allocation (which notice the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent agrees to deliver promptly upon such effectiveness) and (ii) after giving effect to such re-allocation, the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit will not exceed the Maximum Multi-Currency Availability then in effect. Promptly following the effectiveness of such re-allocation, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the Company a revised Schedule III which reflects such amendment.
 
(c) In the event that the revised Currency Sublimit of any Local Fronting Lender will (after giving effect to the requested re-allocation of Currency Sublimits) be in excess of the Maximum Sublimit specified for such Local Fronting Lender on Schedule III, then such Local Fronting Lender and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall have ten Business Days to determine whether (in their sole discretion) to approve such increase. In the event that such Local Fronting Lender and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent approve such increase (which approval shall be delivered in writing to the Company and, in the case of the approval of such Local Fronting Lender, to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) then the Currency Sublimit and the Maximum Sublimit of such Local Fronting Lender shall be re-allocated to such higher amounts requested for such Local Fronting Lender in the request delivered to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.6(a). In the event that such Local Fronting Lender and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent do not approve such increase in accordance with the foregoing terms of this Section 6.6(c), then the Currency Sublimit of such Local Fronting Lender shall be increased only to its existing Maximum Sublimit on the date upon which either such Local Fronting Lender or the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent notifies the Company that such increase has not been approved (or, if no such notice is given, at the end of such ten day
 

 

70

 


 
approval period). Promptly following the effectiveness of any such reallocation, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Multi-Currency Lender and the Company a revised Schedule III which reflects such amendment. The Company or the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary shall pay any stamp, recording or other similar tax payable under the laws of the local jurisdiction which is required as a result of any such increase in the Maximum Sublimit of its relevant Local Fronting Lender.
 
(d) In connection with any re-allocation made in accordance with this Section 6.6, the Company may designate that the Currency Sublimit applicable to any Local Fronting Lender is to be reduced to zero and that the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary is to cease to be a “Local Borrowing Subsidiary” hereunder. From and after any such designation and repayment of all relevant Local Loans or Acceptances then outstanding, such Local Borrowing Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder, such Local Fronting Lender shall cease to be the “Local Fronting Lender” for the relevant Denomination Currency and (except to the extent that the provisions of Section 6.5 subsequently are complied with) no further Local Loans or Acceptances shall be made to any Borrower in such Denomination Currency.
 
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no such reallocation shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit will exceed the Maximum Multi-Currency Availability then in effect.
 
Section 6.7   Resignation or Removal of a Local Fronting Lender.   (a) In the event that a Local Fronting Lender shall so elect, such Local Fronting Lender shall resign as Local Fronting Lender by giving written notice of its resignation to the Company, the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, with such resignation becoming effective on the date which is the earlier of (i) the date upon which a Local Fronting Lender reasonably acceptable to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent and the Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary) is designated as a substitute Local Fronting Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.7(c) and (ii) such other date upon which such Local Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary otherwise agree; provided, however, that such effective date shall in no event be later than the date which is 30 days following the date upon which such written notice is delivered to the Company. Any Local Loans and Acceptances made by such Local Fronting Lender which are outstanding on such termination date shall be due and payable on such termination date.
 
(b) The Company (on its own behalf and as agent for the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary) at any time may, using its commercially reasonable judgment, request that any Local Fronting Lender cease to be designated as such by giving written notice of such request to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (which notice the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver to such Local Fronting Lender and to each Multi-Currency Lender). Immediately upon receipt of such request, such Local Fronting Lender shall cease to make any additional Local Loans and cease to create any additional Acceptances, and all Local Loans and Acceptances then maintained by such Local Fronting Lender shall be due and payable on the date requested by the Company (which date shall be not earlier than (i) the earlier of (A) 30 days following delivery of such notice, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, Local Rate Loans and Acceptances and (B) the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect thereto, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, and (ii) such other date upon which such Local Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary otherwise agree). From and after the date upon which all such Local Loans and
 

 

71

 


 
Acceptances are repaid (together with accrued interest and other amounts owing to such Local Fronting Lender on account thereof), such Local Fronting Lender shall cease to be a “Local Fronting Lender” with respect to such Denomination Currency.
 
(c) In the event that the Local Fronting Lender with respect to any Denomination Currency shall cease to serve as such pursuant to Section 6.7(a) or (b), the Company (on its own behalf and as agent of the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary) may designate another Local Fronting Lender reasonably acceptable to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent to serve as “Local Fronting Lender” with respect to such Denomination Currency; provided, however, that no Multi-Currency Lender shall be so designated without its agreement (in its sole discretion) to serve as the “Local Fronting Lender” with respect to such Denomination Currency hereunder. Upon any such designation and the receipt by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of a Local Fronting Lender Joinder Agreement, duly executed and delivered by such designated Local Fronting Lender, such Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to be the “Local Fronting Lender” with respect to such Denomination Currency for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
 
(d) During any period when no substitute Local Fronting Lender has been duly appointed in accordance with the terms of Section 6.7(c), the right of the Borrowers to borrow in such Denomination Currency shall be suspended.
 
Section 6.8   Reports.   (a) Each Local Fronting Lender shall deliver to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent on the first Business Day of each calendar week and on the first Business Day of each calendar month (and at any time and from time to time when the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may so request) a statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit P-1, showing (i) the aggregate principal amount of Local Loans in the relevant Denomination Currency outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender as of the close of business on each Business Day during the prior week (or portion thereof), (ii) the aggregate principal amount of Local Loans in Dollars outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender as of the close of business on each Business Day during the prior week (or portion thereof), (iii) the aggregate undiscounted face amount of Acceptances outstanding from such Local Fronting Lender as of the close of business on each Business Day during the prior week (or portion thereof) and (iv) such other matters as are contained therein. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent hereby agrees to deliver a copy of each such statement to the Company promptly following its receipt thereof and of any such statement to any Multi-Currency Lender promptly upon its request therefor.
 
(b) Promptly following any change in the Currency Sublimit in effect for any Local Fronting Lender, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Local Fronting Lender a statement indicating the new Currency Sublimit in effect for such Local Fronting Lender.
 
Section 6.9   Bankers’ Acceptances.   (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Local Fronting Lender may agree (in its sole discretion from time to time) to create bankers’ acceptances under its Currency Sublimit by way of the acceptance and discount of Drafts (the “Acceptances”) pursuant to this Section 6.9; provided, however, that no Local Fronting Lender shall have any obligation to create and/or discount Acceptances, regardless of any prior practice of doing so for the account of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary. Any Acceptances created pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall be denominated in the Denomination Currency for the relevant Local Fronting Lender (and not in Dollars), and shall be for such tenor and in such amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and
 

 

72

 


 
Local Borrowing Subsidiary; provided, however, that in no event shall any Acceptance mature after the date which is 30 days prior to the Multi-Currency Termination Date.
 
(b) Unless the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary and Local Fronting Lender otherwise agree, the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary shall give to the relevant Local Fronting Lender not less than two Business Days’ prior written notice of its intent to borrow by way of Acceptances from any Local Fronting Lender which has agreed to accept and discount Drafts for the account of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary, which notice shall be accompanied by (i) a Draft which has been completed, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary and (ii) such other documents, instruments and certificates as such Local Fronting Lender reasonably may request; provided, however, that, after giving effect to the creation of such Acceptance, the Local Outstandings owing to such Local Fronting Lender shall not exceed the amount equal to its Currency Sublimit then in effect. On the requested borrowing date, the relevant Local Fronting Lender will accept such Draft and discount such accepted Draft in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.9(c).
 
(c) Any Local Fronting Lender may, in its sole discretion, elect to discount Drafts of the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary on the date upon which such Local Fronting Lender accepts such Drafts by discounting such Draft at the rate per annum equal to the Local Rate (which may be a different rate than the Local Rate then payable on account of Local Loans in such Denomination Currency) then in effect plus the Applicable Margin then in effect for Local Rate Loans; provided, however, that, unless the relevant Local Fronting Lender and Local Borrowing Subsidiary otherwise agree, such discount shall be calculated by, first, discounting the aggregate face amount of such Draft at the rate per annum equal to the Local Rate then in effect and, second, discounting the result thereof at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then in effect for Local Rate Loans. Promptly following such discounting (and, in any event, on the date thereof), such Local Fronting Lender shall make available to such Local Borrowing Subsidiary the amount equal to the discounted face amount of such Draft in the manner in which such Local Fronting Lender makes available Local Loans pursuant to Section 6.3.
 
(d) Each Local Borrowing Subsidiary hereby unconditionally agrees to pay to the relevant Local Fronting Lender the aggregate, undiscounted face amount of each Draft accepted by such Local Fronting Lender hereunder on the maturity date thereof (or on such earlier date upon which the obligations of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement shall become or shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). Interest shall accrue on any amount owing pursuant to this Section 6.9(d) which is not paid when due (whether by scheduled maturity, mandatory prepayment, acceleration or otherwise) from the date such amount becomes due until paid in full at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the rate which would then be payable on any overdue Local Rate Loans and shall be payable by such Local Borrowing Subsidiary upon demand by such Local Fronting Lender.
 
(e) Each Multi-Currency Lender hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to purchase undivided participating interests in the Acceptances created by each Local Fronting Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.4.
 
(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the indefeasible prepayment by the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary to the relevant Local Fronting Lender of all or a portion of any outstanding Acceptance shall be deemed to constitute a prepayment of such portion of such Acceptance for all purposes hereunder, regardless of whether
 

 

73

 


 
the relevant Local Fronting Lender has distributed such amount to the holder of the underlying Draft.
 
Section 6.10   Use of Proceeds of Local Loans and Acceptances.   The proceeds of the Local Loans and Acceptances hereunder shall be used by the relevant Borrower for general corporate purposes of such Borrower and its Subsidiaries not prohibited hereunder.

Upon receipt of any such notice, the applicable Administrative Agent will promptly notify each affected Lender thereof. If any such notice is given, the Company will make the prepayment specified therein, and such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each partial prepayment pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, in the case of Swing Line Loans, $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof) and shall comply with Section 7.7(g).

(b) The Company and each Local Borrowing Subsidiary may, subject to Section 7.11, at any time and from time to time, prepay any Local Loans borrowed by it or Acceptances created for its account which are then outstanding, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, upon at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice to the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent), in the case of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, and two Business Days’ irrevocable notice to such Local Fronting Lender, in the case of Alternate Base Rate Loans, Local Rate Loans or Acceptances, specifying (i) the date and amount of such prepayment, (ii) whether the amounts prepaid are on account of Acceptances or Local Loans (and, if on account of Local Loans, whether such Local Loans to be prepaid are denominated in Dollars or in a Denomination Currency, as the case may be) or a combination thereof, and, if a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each and (iii) whether the prepayment is of Eurodollar Loans or Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of any prepayment of any such Loans denominated in Dollars) or Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans (otherwise) or (in either case) a combination thereof, and, if of a combination thereof, the amount of prepayment allocable to each (and, with respect to such Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate Loans, each Tranche thereof); provided, however, that Local Loans borrowed by way of overdrafts may be repaid on same-day notice without regard to any minimum amount of repayment required by this Section 7.2(b), with any deposit of funds (whether by clearance of a check, receipt of a wire transfer or otherwise) in the account of the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary maintained by the Local Fronting Lender with respect to such overdrafts being deemed to constitute such notice of prepayment. If any such notice is given, the relevant Local Borrower will make the prepayment specified therein, and such prepayment shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each partial prepayment of the Local Loans pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall be in such minimum amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrower and shall comply with Section 7.7(g); provided, however, that in no event shall such minimum amount be greater than $500,000 or the Equivalent thereof in the relevant Denomination Currency.
 
Section 7.3   Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions.   (a) Unless the Required Multi-Currency Lenders otherwise agree, if at any time and from time to time the Aggregate Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit exceed the Maximum Multi-Currency Availability at such time, the Company and/or the Local Borrowing Subsidiaries shall immediately repay the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans, the Local Loans, the Acceptances and/or the L/C Reimbursement Obligations (and, to the extent necessary, cause the then outstanding Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully Secured) in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 by the amount equal to such excess.
 
(b) Unless the Required Multi-Currency Lenders otherwise agree, if at any time and from time to time the sum (based on the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.17 or at the request of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) of (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Local Loans denominated in Dollars which are owing by the Local Borrowers to a Local Fronting Lender, (ii) the Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Local Loans denominated in the relevant Denomination Currency which are owing by the Local Borrowers to such Local Fronting Lender and (iii) the Equivalent in Dollars of 105% of the aggregate undiscounted face amount of Acceptances in the relevant Denomination Currency which are owing by the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary to such Local Fronting Lender,
 

 

75

 


 
exceeds the Currency Sublimit for such Local Fronting Lender, such Local Borrowers shall, within three Business Days, repay the Local Loans and Acceptances owing by them to such Local Fronting Lender by the amount equal to such excess.
 
(c) Unless the Required Term Loan Lenders otherwise agree, the Term Loans owing to each Term Loan Lender shall be repaid, without premium, within 100 days after the last day of each fiscal year of the Company by an amount equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow for such fiscal year in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4; provided, however, that any Term Loan Lender may elect to waive its rights to any payment owing to it pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) and, if any Term Loan Lender so elects, the amounts otherwise payable to such Term Loan Lender (if not made from proceeds of Revolving Credit Loans) shall instead be applied to repay the Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment).
 
(d) On the Multi-Currency Termination Date, the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment shall terminate and the Borrowers shall cause all Payment Obligations in respect of the Aggregate Actual Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit to be Fully Satisfied.
 
(e) Promptly following a Net Proceeds Event (and in any event within one Business Day following receipt by the relevant Person of the Net Proceeds from such Net Proceeds Event):
 
(i) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the New Term Loans shall be repaid and the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitments shall be permanently reduced, in the manner set forth in Section 7.4(a), by the amount equal to the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds received from Net Proceeds Events described in clause (a) of such definition;
 
(ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, the New Term Loans and the Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid (without any corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment), in the manner set forth in Section 7.4(a), by the amount equal to the portion of the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds (other than the Net Proceeds from Resale Transactions) received by the Company and its Subsidiaries from all Net Proceeds Events described in clause (b) of such definition; provided, however, that (x) no such prepayment of the New Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Loans shall be required pursuant to this Section 7.3(e)(ii) with respect to any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Term Loan Collateral during any twelve-month period ending on an anniversary of the date hereof to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Net Proceeds, together with all other Net Proceeds described in this Section 7.3(e)(ii) received during such period from any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Term Loan Collateral, is less than $10,000,000 or the Equivalent in any other currency thereof; provided, further, that in the event that the aggregate Net Proceeds described in this clause (x) received during such twelve-month period (the “Annual Net Proceeds”) is less than $10,000,000, the difference between $10,000,000 and the Annual Net Proceeds may be added to the $10,000,000 permitted to be excluded from the prepayment of the New Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to this clause (x) applicable to any subsequent twelve-month period (up to a maximum excluded amount not to exceed $25,000,000 in any such twelve-month period) and (y) for purposes of this Section 7.3(e)(ii) only, the term “Net Proceeds” shall not include the Net Proceeds from any Specified Disposition to the extent that the aggregate amount of Net Proceeds from all
 

 

76

 


 
Specified Dispositions since the Amendment No. 4 Effective Date does not exceed $25,000,000; and
 
(iii) unless the Required Multi-Currency Lenders otherwise agree, the Revolving Credit Loans shall be repaid (without any corresponding reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment) by the Net Proceeds received by the Company and its Subsidiaries from all Net Proceeds Events in respect of Specified Dispositions to the extent excluded from clause (ii) above;
 
provided, however, that any Term Loans prepaid on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date pursuant to this Section 7.3(e) shall be accompanied by a premium in an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee applicable at such time.
 
(f) If, any Borrower would incur costs pursuant to Section 7.11 as a result of any payment due pursuant to this Section 7.3 (other than clause (h) below), such Borrower may deposit the amount of such payment with the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant Lenders, in a Cash Collateral Account under the control of the applicable Administrative Agent, until the end of the applicable Interest Period at which time such payment shall be made (provided that such deposit does not violate any provision of any Indenture then in effect). Each Borrower hereby grants to the applicable Administrative Agent, for the benefit of such Lenders, a security interest (or, if the applicable Borrower is a Local Borrowing Subsidiary organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Australia or any political subdivision thereof, the applicable Administrative Agent shall have a right to apply and setoff such payment toward any amount payable by such Local Borrowing Subsidiary at the end of the applicable Interest Period) in all amounts in which such Borrower has any right, title or interest which are from time to time on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account and expressly waives all rights (which rights such Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees are vested exclusively in the applicable Administrative Agent) to exercise dominion or control over any such amounts.
 
(g) Upon the borrowing of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.1, the Term Loan Commitment of each Term Loan Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced in the amount of the Term Loan made by each Term Loan Lender pursuant to such borrowing. The Aggregate Term Loan Commitment, if any, shall terminate on the Closing Date after the funding of the Term Loans.
 
(h) The Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct, during a Liquidity Event Period or, prior to the delivery of a Notice of Actionable Default, at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the application of all funds in the Cash Concentration Account or any other Approved Deposit Account (or any Cash Collateral Account under the direction of any Loan Party, if any) and agrees that the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may (in its sole discretion exercised reasonably) and, upon the written direction of the Required Multi-Currency Lenders given at any time during such Liquidity Event Period, shall (i) deliver a Blockage Notice (or similar term, as defined in each Deposit Account Control Agreement) to each Deposit Account Bank for each Approved Deposit Account and (ii) apply all available funds in (A) the Cash Concentration Account or any other Approved Deposit Account on a daily basis (but only so long as such Liquidity Event Period or Event of Default, as the case may be, is continuing) as follows: first, to repay the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Loans until such Swing Line Loans have been repaid in full; and second, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans until such Revolving Credit Loans shall have been repaid in full and (B) such Cash Collateral Account for the purposes contemplated under the Loan Documents in its sole discretion exercised reasonably. The Multi-
 

 

77

 


 
Currency Administrative Agent agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to apply such funds in accordance with this Section 7.3(h), and the Borrowers consent to such application. Without diminishing the control of the Collateral Agent (under the direction of the applicable Agent) over amounts from time to time on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account, the applicable Agent shall from time to time (upon the request of the Company so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) direct the Collateral Agent to promptly return to the Company any amounts on deposit in such Cash Collateral Account which are in excess of the amount required to be deposited therein under the Loan Documents. If no Liquidity Event or Event of Default shall be continuing, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall not deliver any Blockage Notice and shall, upon receipt of three Business Days’ prior written notice and a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company that no Liquidity Event or Event of Default is continuing, withdraw all Blockage Notices in effect at such time.
 
Section 7.4   Application of Payments and Commitment Reductions.   (a) Any prepayment of the New Term Loans or reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment required pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(i) shall be applied, first, to the repayment of the New Term Loans then outstanding to the extent required by the New Term Loan Agreement and, second, to the permanent reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment then in effect. Any prepayment of the New Term Loans and Revolving Credit Loans required pursuant to Section 7.3(e)(ii) shall be applied, if in respect of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Term Loan Collateral, to the repayment of the New Term Loans to the extent required by the New Term Loan Agreement, and if in respect of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of Multi-Currency Collateral or any other assets to the repayment of the Revolving Credit Loans (without any permanent reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment).
 
(b) To the extent that any reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment necessitates the prepayment of amounts outstanding thereunder pursuant to Section 7.3, such prepayment shall be applied to repay the Multi-Currency Loans, the Acceptances and/or the L/C Reimbursement Obligations (and, to the extent necessary, cause the then outstanding Undrawn L/C Obligations to be Fully Secured), as the Company and the Local Borrowing Subsidiaries so determine, subject to Section 7.4(c).
 
(c) To the extent that any reduction of the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment necessitates the prepayment of Local Loans and Acceptances outstanding thereunder pursuant to Section 7.3, such prepayment shall be applied, first, to the Local Loans of such Local Borrowers as the Company (on its own behalf and as agent of the Local Borrowing Subsidiaries) may elect and, second, to the Acceptances; provided, however, that, during such time as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such prepayment shall be applied to the Local Loans and (to the extent relevant) Acceptances of such Local Borrowers as the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent may elect.
 
(d) Any prepayment of the Term Loans required pursuant to Section 7.3 shall be applied, first, in the direct order of maturity to the then outstanding installments thereof maturing in the next twelve months and, second, ratably to the remaining installments thereof.
 
Section 7.5   Interest Rate and Payment Dates; Risk Participation Fees; Local Administrative Fee.   (a) The Eurodollar Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

(d) Each Local Rate Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof at a rate per annum equal to the Local Rate applicable to the relevant Denomination Currency plus the Applicable Margin.
 
(e) Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section 7.5 or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12.1(a) or (j) and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, all of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans, Acceptances and unpaid L/C Reimbursement Obligations, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest, fees and other amounts due under the Loan Documents, shall (i) bear interest at a rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) which is equal to 2% above (x) the rate which would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to this Section 7.5 or, (y) if no such rate would otherwise be applicable, if due to a Multi-Currency Lender, the rate applicable to Multi-Currency Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans and, if due to a Term Loan Lender, the rate applicable to Term Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans and (ii) if such amount is on account of a Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan, be converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Local Rate Loan, as the case may be, at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.
 
(f) Interest on each Syndicated Loan accrued to but not including each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto shall be payable in arrears on each such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing on the principal of or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest or any other amount payable in connection with any such Syndicated Loan not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), shall be payable from time to time upon demand of the applicable Administrative Agent acting on the affected Lenders’ behalf.
 
(g) Interest on each Local Loan accrued to but not including each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto shall be payable in arrears to the relevant Local Fronting Lender on each such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that interest accruing on the principal of, or (to the extent permitted by applicable law) interest or any other amount payable in connection with, any Local Loan not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), shall be payable from time to time upon demand of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent acting on the affected Local Fronting Lender’s behalf. Interest on each Local Loan shall be payable to the relevant Local Fronting Lender in the Denomination Currency applicable to it (or, with respect to Local Loans which are denominated in Dollars, in Dollars). On each Interest Payment Date (including, without limitation, each Interest Payment Date with respect to Acceptances), the Local Fronting Lender shall deliver to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary an Interest Allocation Statement, substantially in the form of Exhibit P-2, and the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary shall (in the absence of manifest error) pay the amount specified therein on such Interest Payment Date.

(h) As promptly as is practicable following each date upon which a Local Fronting Lender receives a payment of interest under this Agreement on account of Local Loans and/or Acceptances, such Local Fronting Lender shall convert into Dollars (at the exchange rate then applicable to it) the amount equal to (i) the portion of such payment which constitutes the Applicable Margin thereon (or, with respect to each Multi-Currency Lender which funded the purchase of a participating interest in such Local Loan or Acceptance pursuant to Section 6.4(a), as the case may be, such Multi-Currency Lender’s Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the full amount of such interest payment) minus (ii) 1/4 of 1% per annum on the aggregate undiscounted face amount of the extensions of credit on account of which such interest payment was made (which unconverted amount shall be retained by such Local Fronting Lender for its own account). In consideration of the agreement of the Multi-Currency Lenders to purchase participating interests in the Local Loans and Acceptances, each Local Fronting Lender hereby agrees to pay to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of each Multi-Currency Lender, a risk participation fee in the amount equal to the proceeds received by such Local Fronting Lender from such conversion (other than any such proceeds payable for the account of a Non-Funding Lender, which proceeds shall be retained by such Local Fronting Lender for its own account) or, if no such conversion is required, the amount which would have been converted if such interest had been paid in a Denomination Currency; provided, however, that, in the event that the Multi-Currency Lenders have funded the purchase of participating interests in the extensions of credit on account of which such interest payment was made pursuant to Section 6.4(a), such Local Fronting Lender shall instead pay to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the account of each Multi-Currency Lender which has so funded such purchase, the amount equal to such Multi-Currency Lender’s Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of the proceeds received by such Local Fronting Lender from such conversion. Such amount shall be payable to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent in Dollars on the date upon which such Local Fronting Lender receives the proceeds of such conversion. For purposes of this Section 7.5(h), interest shall be deemed to have been received by the Local Fronting Lender on account of an Acceptance on the last day of the calendar month in which such Acceptance matures.
 
(i) On each date upon which any Local Borrower pays interest to a Local Fronting Lender hereunder on account of any Local Loan and on each date upon which any Acceptance is created by a Local Lender for the account of a Local Borrower hereunder, such Local Borrower shall pay to such Local Fronting Lender (for its own account) a local administrative fee in the amount equal to 1/4 of 1% per annum on the aggregate principal amount of the Local Loans with respect to which such interest is being paid or on the aggregate undiscounted face amount of such Acceptance, as the case may be.
 
Section 7.6   Letter of Credit Fees, Commissions and Other Charges.   (a) The Company shall pay to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the applicable L/C Participants with respect to each Letter of Credit, a letter of credit commission with respect to such Letter of Credit in an amount per annum equal to (i) the Applicable Margin applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Eurodollar Loans on the date of payment of such letter of credit commission (of which 1/4 of 1% per annum shall be for the account of the relevant Issuing Lender and the remainder of such fee shall be for the accounts of the relevant L/C Participants and such Issuing Lender to be shared ratably among them in accordance with their respective Multi-Currency Commitment Percentages) multiplied by (ii) the undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, however, that in no event shall such letter of credit commission in respect of any Commercial Letter of Credit be less than the amount which would be paid in respect of such Commercial Letter of Credit if it had a tenor of 120 days.

(b) Letter of credit commissions which are payable pursuant to clause (a) above shall be non-refundable and shall be payable to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent in arrears on account of the period from the issuance date with respect to such Letter of Credit through the day immediately preceding the next L/C Fee Payment Date (or, if earlier, the expiry date for such Letter of Credit) and on each succeeding L/C Fee Payment Date on account of the period from such L/C Fee Payment Date through the day immediately preceding the next L/C Fee Payment Date (or, if earlier, the expiry date for such Letter of Credit).
 
(c) In addition to the foregoing fees and commissions, the Company shall pay or reimburse the relevant Issuing Lender directly (and not through the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) in respect of each Letter of Credit for such normal and customary costs and expenses as are incurred or charged by such Issuing Lender in issuing, effecting payment under, amending or otherwise administering any Letter of Credit issued by it.
 
(d) The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall pay to each applicable L/C Participant and the relevant Issuing Lender all fees and commissions (including, without limitation, any fees and commissions paid to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent for the account of each such L/C Participant and such Issuing Lender on the issuance date of any Letter of Credit) received from time to time by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent for their respective accounts pursuant to this Section 7.6 within one Business Day following each L/C Fee Payment Date.
 
Section 7.7   Conversion Options, Minimum Tranches and Maximum Interest Periods.   (a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Syndicated Loans from Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans by giving the applicable Administrative Agent at least one Business Day’s prior irrevocable notice of such election. The Borrowers may elect from time to time and at any time to convert outstanding Syndicated Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans by giving the applicable Administrative Agent at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice of such election; provided, however, that no Syndicated Loan may be converted into a Eurodollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Administrative Agent or the Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Multi-Currency Lenders, as applicable, so elect by notice to the Company. Upon receipt of such notice, the applicable Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each affected Syndicated Lender thereof. On the date on which such conversion is being made, each such affected Syndicated Lender shall take such action as is necessary to effect such conversion. All or any part of the outstanding Syndicated Loans may be converted as provided herein. Each such notice by the Borrowers shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit I (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”),
 
(b) Any Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by giving the applicable Administrative Agent at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice for continuation thereof; provided, however, that no such Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the applicable Administrative Agent or the Required Term Loan Lenders or Required Multi-Currency Lenders, as applicable, so elect by notice to the Company, and, instead, such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to an Alternate Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans. The applicable Administrative Agent shall notify each affected Syndicated Lender promptly that such automatic conversion shall occur. Each such notice by the Borrowers shall be in substantially the form of the Notice of Conversion or Continuation.

(c) Each Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Local Loans from Eurodollar Loans to Alternate Base Rate Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in Dollars) by giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Each Local Borrower may elect from time to time to convert outstanding Local Loans from Eurocurrency Loans to Local Rate Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in a Denomination Currency) by giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local Fronting Lender at least two Business Days’ prior irrevocable notice of such election. Each Borrower may elect from time to time and at any time to convert outstanding Local Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in Dollars) by giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice of such election; provided, however, that no Alternate Base Rate Loans may be converted to Eurodollar Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Required Multi-Currency Lenders so elect by notice to the Company. Each Local Borrower may elect from time to time and at any time to convert outstanding Local Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Loans (in the case of Local Loans which are in a Denomination Currency) by giving (or causing the Company to give) the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice of such election; provided, further, that no Local Rate Loans may be converted to Eurocurrency Loans when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Required Multi-Currency Lenders so elect by notice to the Company. On the date on which such conversion is being made, the relevant Local Fronting Lender shall take such action as is necessary to effect such conversion. All or any part of the outstanding Local Loans may be converted as provided herein.
 
(d) Any Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans or (to the extent applicable) Local Rate Loans may be continued as such upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by giving the relevant Local Fronting Lender (with a copy to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent) at least three Working Days’ irrevocable notice for continuation thereof; provided, however, that no such Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Required Multi-Currency Lenders so elect by notice to the Company and, instead, such Eurodollar Loans shall be automatically converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans and such Eurocurrency Loans shall be automatically converted to Local Rate Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for such Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans. The Multi-Currency Administrative Agent shall notify the relevant Local Fronting Lenders promptly that such automatic conversion shall occur.
 
(e) In the event that a timely notice of conversion or continuation with regard to Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans is not given in accordance with this Section 7.7, then, unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have received timely notice from the Company in accordance with Section 7.2 that such Eurodollar Loans are to be prepaid on the last day of such Interest Period, the Company shall be deemed irrevocably to have requested that such Eurodollar Loans be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans on the last day of such Interest Period.
 
(f) In the event that a timely notice of conversion or continuation with regard to Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans is not given in accordance with this Section 7.7, then, unless the relevant Local Fronting Lender shall have received timely notice from the relevant Borrower in accordance with Section 7.2 that such
 

 

82

 


 
Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, are to be prepaid on the last day of such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed irrevocably to have requested that such Eurodollar Loans be converted into Alternate Base Rate Loans or such Eurocurrency Loans be converted into Local Rate Loans, as the case may be, on the last day of such Interest Period. In the event that a timely notice of continuation with regard to Local Rate Loans which are subject to an Interest Period is not given in accordance with this Section 7.7, then, unless the relevant Local Fronting Lender shall have received timely notice from the relevant Borrower in accordance with Section 7.2 that such Local Rate Loans are to be converted into Eurocurrency Loans or prepaid on the last day of such Interest Period, such Borrower shall be deemed irrevocably to have requested that such Local Rate Loans be continued as such on the last day of such Interest Period for a new Interest Period which is the shortest such Interest Period available to such Borrower from the relevant Local Fronting Lender.
 
(g) Any borrowing or continuation of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or conversion to or from Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, or payments or prepayments of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans shall be $5,000,000 or a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) the aggregate principal amount of each Tranche of Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, Alternate Base Rate Loans, Eurocurrency Loans and Local Rate Loans in each Denomination Currency shall be in such amount as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrower, (iii) the aggregate principal amount of all Syndicated Loans which are Alternate Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Line Loans) shall be $2,500,000 or a whole multiple (to the extent possible) of $500,000 in excess thereof and (iv) there shall not be more than (A) 15 Tranches of Syndicated Loans which are Eurodollar Loans at any one time outstanding and (B) two Tranches (or such other number of Tranches as may be mutually agreed upon by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrowers) of Local Loans which are Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans and (to the extent that an Interest Period is applicable thereto) Local Rate Loans in each Denomination Currency at any one time outstanding.
 
Section 7.8   Inability to Determine Interest Rate.   (a) In the event that the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the relevant Local Fronting Lender shall have determined (which determination, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding upon each Borrower) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant interbank eurocurrency market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate or any relevant Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period with respect to (i) any proposed Loan that the relevant Borrower has requested be made as Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) a Eurodollar Loan that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the Alternate Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Loans, (iii) a Eurocurrency Loan that will result from the requested conversion of all or part of the Local Rate Loans in any Denomination Currency into Eurocurrency Loans, (iv) the continuation of a Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan as such for an additional Interest Period (any such Loan described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), or (iv) of this Section 7.8(a) being herein called an “Affected Loan”), the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the relevant Local Fronting Lender (as the case may be) shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice of such determination, confirmed in writing, to the relevant Borrower (with a copy to the Company, the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent and any affected Lenders) at least two Business Days prior to, as the case may be, the borrowing date for such Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan, the conversion date for such Alternate Base Rate Loan or Local Rate Loan or the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan. Unless the relevant Borrower shall have notified the Designated
 

 

83

 


 
Multi-Currency Administrative Agent (in the case of any Syndicated Loan), the relevant Local Fronting Lender (in the case of any Local Loan) or the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt of such telecopy or telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its request regarding such Affected Loans, then, as the case may be, (x) any requested Eurodollar Loan shall be made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan, continued as an Alternate Base Rate Loan or converted into an Alternate Base Rate Loan or (y) any requested Local Loan which is a Eurocurrency Loan shall be made as a Local Rate Loan, continued as a Local Rate Loan or converted into a Local Rate Loan. Until any such notice has been withdrawn by the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the relevant Local Fronting Lender, as the case may be, no further Affected Loans shall be made.
 
(b) In the event that the Lenders holding the majority of the relevant Commitment determine that the Eurocurrency Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not accurately reflect the cost to them of making or maintaining any Syndicated Loans that a Borrower has requested that they make or maintain as, or convert to, Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, the applicable Administrative Agent shall forthwith give telecopy or telephonic notice of such determination to such Borrower (with a copy to the Company, to the extent that the Company is not such Borrower) on or before the requested borrowing, conversion or continuation date for such Syndicated Loans or the next succeeding Interest Period with respect thereto. Unless the relevant Borrower shall have notified the applicable Administrative Agent promptly after receipt of such telecopy or telephonic notice that it wishes to rescind or modify its borrowing request, then any such Eurodollar Loans shall be made as or converted to Alternate Base Rate Loans.
 
Section 7.9   Illegality.   (a) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender (other than a Local Fronting Lender) to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans as contemplated by this Agreement or to accept deposits in order to make or maintain such Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, (i) such Lender shall promptly notify the applicable Administrative Agent and the Company thereof, (ii) the agreements of such Lender hereunder to make, continue or convert to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended forthwith and (iii) such Lender’s Syndicated Loans then outstanding as Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall in the case of Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, automatically become Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods).
 
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Local Fronting Lender to make or maintain Local Loans as Eurodollar Loans in Dollars or Eurocurrency Loans in the Denomination Currency applicable to it as contemplated by this Agreement or to accept deposits in order to make or maintain such Eurocurrency Loans, (i) such Local Fronting Lender shall promptly notify the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary thereof, (ii) the agreements of such Local Fronting Lender hereunder to make or convert to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be, shall be suspended forthwith, (iii) such Local Fronting Lender’s Local Loans then outstanding as (A) Eurocurrency Loans, if any, shall automatically become Local Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods) or (B) Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall automatically become Alternate Base Rate Loans for the duration of the respective Interest Periods applicable thereto (or, if permitted by applicable law, at the end of such Interest Periods).
 

 

84

 


 
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Multi-Currency Lender to purchase a participating interest in any Local Loan or Acceptance, such Multi-Currency Lender shall use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the office in which it is booking such participating interest) to avoid such prohibition; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Multi-Currency Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Multi-Currency Lender to be material or otherwise be deemed by such Multi-Currency Lender to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies. In the event that such efforts are not sufficient to avoid such prohibition, (i) such Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to be a Non-Funding Lender with respect to such participating interest and the Local Loan or Acceptance, as the case may be, to which it relates (except that such Multi-Currency Lender shall not forfeit its voting rights under this Agreement solely as a result of becoming a Non-Funding Lender pursuant to the provisions of this clause (c)), (ii) such Multi-Currency Lender shall promptly notify the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, the relevant Local Fronting Lender, the Company and the relevant Local Borrowing Subsidiary thereof and (iii) the agreements of such Local Fronting Lender to make further Local Loans (or, to the extent applicable, to make further Local Loans upon such interest rate basis) and Acceptances hereunder shall be suspended forthwith.
 
(d) The Company agrees promptly to pay to any Syndicated Lender, and each Borrower agrees promptly to pay to any Local Fronting Lender, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by it as a consequence of such Borrower making any repayment in accordance with this Section 7.9, including, without limitation, any interest or fees payable by such Lender to lenders of funds obtained by it in order to make or maintain its Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, as the case may be. A certificate as to any such costs payable pursuant to this Section 7.9 submitted by an officer of any Lender, through the applicable Administrative Agent, to the Company (on its own behalf or as agent of the Borrowers) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 7.10   Requirements of Law; Changes of Law.   (a) In the event that the adoption of or any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive or in the interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) issued after the date hereof from any central bank or other Governmental Authority:
 
(i) imposes upon such Lender any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement, its Notes, any Letter of Credit, any Application or any Loan, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender of principal, commitment fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for (w) income and franchise taxes imposed on such Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the jurisdiction of the principal office of such Lender or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein or the office of such Lender from which it is making its Loans or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, (x) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (w) above, (y) taxes resulting from the substitution of any such system by another system of taxation, provided, however, that the taxes payable by such Lender subject to such other system of taxation are not generally charged to borrowers from such Lender having loans or advances bearing interest at a rate similar to the Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Local Rate and (z) Non-Excluded
 

 

85

 


 
Taxes, Other Taxes, and taxes imposed by way of deduction or withholding, which shall be exclusively governed by Section 7.12);
 
(ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against any Loan made, or assets held by, or credit extended by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or acquisition of funds by or for the account of, any office of such Lender, which is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate, the Eurocurrency Rate or the Local Rate, as the case may be, hereunder; or
 
(iii) imposes on such Lender any other condition;
 
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in advances or extensions of credit (including, without limitation, Acceptances) or issuing or participating in Letters of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable by it in respect of its Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans, then, in any such case, the relevant Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amount receivable as reasonably determined by it with respect to this Agreement (including, without limitation, its participating interests in Letters of Credit, Acceptances and Local Loans), its Notes or its Loans after taking into account any amounts paid or payable pursuant to Section 7.12(a). If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.10(a), it shall promptly notify the relevant Borrower, through the applicable Administrative Agent, of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by an officer of a Lender, through the applicable Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error.
 
(b) In the event that any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of any law, rule, regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards or of any Requirement of Law otherwise regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or Governmental Authority, does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under any Acceptance or Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount which is reasonably deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, promptly after submission by such Lender, through the applicable Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower of a written request therefor, such Borrower shall promptly pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such reduction.
 
(c) The agreements in this Section 7.10 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts, the L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
Section 7.11   Indemnity.   Each Borrower agrees to promptly pay and indemnify each Lender for, and to hold such Lender harmless from, any loss or expense which such Lender may sustain or incur in its reemployment of funds obtained in connection with the making or maintaining of, or converting to, Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate
 

 

86

 


 
Loans (including, without limitation, its participating interests therein) as a consequence of (a) any default by such Borrower in borrowing such Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans after such Borrower has given a notice in respect thereof or (b) any default by such Borrower in converting (i) Alternate Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, (ii) Eurocurrency Loans to Local Rate Loans or (iii) Local Rate Loans to Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans, after such Borrower has given a notice in respect thereof or (c) any failure by such Borrower to prepay Eurodollar Loans, Eurocurrency Loans or Local Rate Loans, as the case may be, after such Borrower has given notice in respect thereof or (d) any payment, prepayment (whether optional or mandatory) or conversion (whether optional or mandatory) of any Eurodollar Loan or Eurocurrency Loan (or, to the extent applicable, Local Rate Loan) by such Borrower on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 7.11 submitted by an officer of a Lender, through the applicable Administrative Agent, to the relevant Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The agreements in this Section 7.11 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts, the L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
Section 7.12   Taxes.   (a) All payments made by each Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without reduction for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, (i) income and franchise taxes imposed on the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or such Lender by the jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or by the jurisdiction of the principal office of the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or such Lender or the office of such Lender from which it is making its Loans or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, but not excluding any such tax imposed on or with respect to a Multi-Currency Lender that is required to be withheld by a Local Fronting Lender or Borrower with respect to any payments due to a Multi-Currency Lender from such Local Fronting Lender or Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) any branch profits taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in clause (i) above (all such non-excluded Taxes being called “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If any Non-Excluded Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent, or any Lender hereunder, under the Notes or in respect of any Loan, Draft or Letter of Credit, the amounts so payable to it shall (without any obligation on the part of any Borrower to pay such amounts ratably in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.5) be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the Notes. Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by a Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, such Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agents, for its own account or for the account of the Collateral Agent, or such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt showing payment thereof. If any Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agents the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section 7.12 all payments made by a Local Fronting Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as if such payments were made by the relevant Borrower.
 

 

87

 


 
(b) In addition, each Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.
 
(c) Except as the Company shall otherwise consent, each Lender hereby severally (but not jointly) represents that, under applicable law and treaties in effect on the date of this Agreement (or, in the case of a Transferee, the date such Person became a Transferee), no United States federal taxes will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agents or the Company with respect to any payments to be made to such Lender in respect of this Agreement. Each Lender or Transferee which itself is not a U.S. person as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code for federal income tax purposes or which is lending from an office that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees severally (but not jointly) that it will:
 
(i)     (1) prior to the Closing Date (or, in the case of a Transferee, prior to the date it becomes a Transferee), deliver to the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, as the case may be, certifying in each case that such Lender or Transferee is entitled to receive all payments under this Agreement, the Notes and the Drafts payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes;
 
(2) deliver to the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent two further copies of the such Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, or successor applicable form, or other manner of certification, as the case may be, on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Company; and
 
(3) use its reasonable efforts to obtain such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company, certifying that such Lender or Transferee is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income Non-Excluded Taxes; or
 
(ii) in the case of any such Lender or Transferee that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (i) represent to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent) that it is not a bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10-percent shareholder” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person for purposes of Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, (ii) agree to furnish to the Company on or before the date of any payment by the Company, with a copy to the applicable Administrative Agent, (A) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit Q hereto (any such certificate a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (B) two accurate and complete original signed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or successor applicable form certifying to such Lender’s or Transferee’s legal entitlement at the date of such certificate to an exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the provisions of Section 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments to be made under this Agreement (and to deliver to the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent two further copies of such form on or before the date it expires or becomes obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recently provided form and, if necessary, obtain any extensions of time reasonably requested by the Company or the applicable Administrative Agent for filing and completing such forms), and (iii) agree, to the extent legally entitled to do so, upon
 

 

88

 


 
reasonable request by the Company, to provide to the Company (for the benefit of the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent) such other forms as may be reasonably required to establish the legal entitlement of such Lender or Transferee to an exemption from withholding with respect to payments under this Agreement; 
 
unless in any such case any change in law, rule, regulation, treaty or directive, or in the interpretation or application thereof, has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender or Transferee from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender or Transferee advises the Company that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 7.12(a) to the contrary, the Company shall have no obligation to pay any amount to or for the account of any such Lender or Transferee on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to Section 7.12(a) (including, without limitation, the second sentence thereof) to the extent that such amount results from (i) the failure of any such Lender or Transferee to comply with its obligations pursuant to this Section 7.12(c) or (ii) any representation or warranty made or deemed to be made by any such Lender or Transferee pursuant to this Section 7.12(c) proving to have been incorrect, false or misleading in any material respect when so made or deemed to be made.
 
(d) Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (including reasonable efforts to change the office in which it is booking its Loans) to avoid or to minimize any amounts in respect of taxes which might otherwise be payable pursuant to Section 7.10 or this Section 7.12; provided, however, that such efforts shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any additional costs or legal or regulatory burdens deemed by such Lender to be material or otherwise be deemed by such Lender to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies.
 
(e) In the event that such reasonable efforts pursuant to Section 7.12(c)(i) are insufficient to avoid all withholding taxes which would be payable pursuant to this Section 7.12, then such Lender (the “Taxable Lender”) shall use its reasonable efforts to transfer, at the cost of the Company, to any other Lender (which is not subject to such withholding taxes) its Dollar Loans and its Commitments hereunder; provided, however, that such transfer shall not be deemed by such Taxable Lender, in its sole discretion, to be disadvantageous to it or contrary to its policies. In the event that the Taxable Lender is unable, or otherwise is unwilling, so to transfer its Dollar Loans and Commitments, the Company may, at its own cost, designate an alternate bank or other financial institution to purchase the Taxable Lender’s Dollar Loans and Commitments and, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), the Taxable Lender shall transfer, at the cost of the Company, its Dollar Loans and Commitments to such alternate bank or other financial institution and such alternate bank or other financial institution shall become a Lender hereunder.
 
(f) The agreements in this Section 7.12 shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans, the Notes, the Drafts, the L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.
 
(g) If a Lender or an Administrative Agent receives a refund in respect of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes with respect to which the Company has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 7.12, it shall within a reasonable time from the date of such receipt pay over the amount of such refund to the Company, net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant taxation authority with respect to such refund); provided, however, that the Company,
 

 

89

 


 
upon the request of such Lender or Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid or portion thereof over to the Company (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to such Lender or Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund or portion thereof to such taxation authority.
 
Section 7.13   Commitment Fee.   (a) The Company agrees to pay to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, for the account of each Multi-Currency Lender, a commitment fee from and including the Closing Date in the amount equal to the Commitment Fee Rate on the amount equal to the Multi-Currency Commitment Percentage of such Multi-Currency Lender multiplied by the average daily amount by which the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment exceeds the Aggregate Actual Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit (without taking into account any amount of Swing Line Loans from time to time outstanding) during the period for which such fee is payable.
 
(b) Each commitment fee owing pursuant to Section 7.13(a) shall be payable, in arrears, (x) for each fiscal quarter of the Company (or portion thereof) following the Closing Date, on the date which is two Business Days following the last day of each such fiscal quarter (commencing on September 30, 2004); provided, however, that if the Company shall not have received from the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent the documentation supporting calculations of such commitment fee prior to such date, then, on the date which is two Business Days after the date of the Company’s receipt from the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of such supporting documentation and (y) on the last day of the Commitment Period.
 
Section 7.14   Computation of Interest and Fees.   (a) Interest in respect of the Alternate Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon clause (a) of the definition of “Alternate Base Rate” shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual days elapsed. Interest in respect of the Local Rate Loans and Acceptances shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as the case may be, for the actual days elapsed or on such other basis as may be agreed from time to time by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrowers to reflect customary practices in the relevant jurisdiction. Interest in respect of the Alternate Base Rate Loans bearing interest at a rate based upon the Federal Funds Effective Rate, the Eurodollar Loans, the Eurocurrency Loans, Letter of Credit commissions and commitment fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed (or, in the case of Eurocurrency Loans, such other basis as may be agreed from time to time by the relevant Local Fronting Lender and the relevant Borrower to reflect customary practices in the relevant jurisdiction). The Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent will, as soon as practicable, notify the Company and the Syndicated Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate with respect to Syndicated Loans and of any change in the Alternate Base Rate with respect to Syndicated Loans and the effective date thereof. Each Local Fronting Lender will, as soon as practicable, notify the relevant Borrower and the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of each determination of a Eurocurrency Rate for its Denomination Currency, of a Eurodollar Rate for its Local Loans which are Dollar Loans, of any change in the Local Rate for its Denomination Currency, of any change in the Alternate Base Rate for its Local Loans which are Dollar Loans and (in each case) the effective date thereof. Any change in the interest rate on a Syndicated Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change shall become effective. Any change in the interest rate on a Local Loan which is an Alternate Base Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall become effective as of the opening of business in the jurisdiction of the local lending office of the relevant Local Fronting Lender on the day on which such change shall become effective. Any change in the interest rate on a Local Rate Loan resulting from a change in the Local Rate shall
 

 

90

 


 
become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change in the Local Rate shall become effective.
 
(b) Except as set forth in Section 7.8, each determination of an interest rate by the Designated Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Local Fronting Lender, as the case may be, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the relevant Borrower and the Lenders, in the absence of manifest error.
 
Section 7.15   Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.   (a) Each borrowing by any Local Borrower of Local Loans and Acceptances shall be made from the Local Fronting Lender with respect to the relevant Denomination Currency.
 
(b) On any date when and to the extent that, in the reasonable determination of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, the Borrowers would be able, under the terms and conditions hereof, to reborrow the amount of such payment (or otherwise obtain additional extensions of credit) under the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment and to satisfy any conditions precedent to such reborrowing (or other extension of credit), no portion of any such payment shall be distributed to any Lender (a “Non-Funding Lender”) which has (x) failed to make a Revolving Credit Loan or Refunded Swing Line Loan or to purchase (or otherwise make any payment on account of) any participating interest held by such Non-Funding Lender in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, Acceptance or Local Loan or (y) given notice to the Company, any Local Fronting Lender or the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent that it will not make, or that it has disaffirmed or repudiated any obligation to make, any Revolving Credit Loans or Refunded Swing Line Loans, or to purchase (or otherwise make any payment on account of) any participating interest held by such Non-Funding Lender in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, Acceptance or Local Loan, in any such case by reason of the provisions of the Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act of 1989 or otherwise (other than as the result of a good faith belief that the conditions precedent to borrowing set forth in Section 9.2 have not been satisfied).
 
(c) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Company on account of principal, interest and fees (other than those relating to Local Loans and Acceptances) shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the applicable Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant Lenders (or, in the case of payments on account of Swing Line Loans, to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender) at the office of the applicable Administrative Agent specified in Section 14.2, or at such other location as such Administrative Agent may direct, on or prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available funds. The applicable Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.15(g) promptly upon receipt in like funds as received; provided, however, that payments received by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent on account of interest or fees on the Local Loans and Acceptances may be held by the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent and distributed to the Multi-Currency Lenders not less frequently than weekly.
 
(d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by any Local Borrower on account of principal, interest and fees relating to Local Loans and Acceptances shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and shall be made to the Local Fronting Lender to which such amounts are owing at the office of such Local Fronting Lender specified in Schedule III, or at such other location as such Local Fronting Lender may direct, on or prior to 1:00 P.M., local time at the principal lending office of such Local Fronting Lender. Each such payment shall, to the extent that it is owing on account of Local Loans which are Dollar Loans, be paid in Dollars
 

 

91

 


 
and, otherwise, shall be paid in the relevant Denomination Currency and in immediately available funds. Each Local Fronting Lender shall give prompt notice to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent of amounts from time to time received by it hereunder.
 
(e) If any payment hereunder (other than payments on Eurodollar Loans or Eurocurrency Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. If any payment hereunder on a Eurodollar Loan or a Eurocurrency Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Working Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Working Day unless the effect of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Working Day.
 
(f) Unless the applicable Administrative Agent shall have been notified by telephone, confirmed in writing, by any Syndicated Lender prior to a borrowing date that such Lender will not make the amount which would constitute its Commitment Percentage of the borrowing to be made on such date available to such Administrative Agent on such borrowing date, such Administrative Agent may assume that such Syndicated Lender has made such amount available to such Administrative Agent and, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the relevant Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is made available to the applicable Administrative Agent on a date after such borrowing date, such Syndicated Lender shall pay to such Administrative Agent on demand an amount equal to the product of (i) the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate during such period as determined by such Administrative Agent multiplied by (ii) such amount multiplied by (iii) a fraction of which the numerator is the number of days from and including such borrowing date to the date on which such amount becomes immediately available to such Administrative Agent and of which the denominator is 360. A certificate of the applicable Administrative Agent submitted to any Syndicated Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph (f) shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error. If such amount is not in fact made available to the applicable Administrative Agent by such Syndicated Lender within three Business Days after such borrowing date, such Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such amount, with interest thereon at the rate per annum then applicable to Revolving Credit Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans hereunder, within eight Business Days after demand, from the relevant Borrower.
 
(g) Unless a Notice of Actionable Default has been delivered pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments and any other amounts received by any Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrowers shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans any Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which such Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Loan Parties; second, to pay fees and expenses of the Agents then due and payable; third, all other Payment Obligations then due and payable; and fourth, as the Company so designates. All such payments shall be allocated ratably among such of the Agents, Lenders and Issuing Lenders as are entitled thereto; provided, however, that all such payments received (i) in respect of any Swing Line Loans shall be distributed to the Swing Line Lender, (ii) in respect of any Local Loans to the applicable Loan Fronting Lender and (iii) in respect of any L/C Reimbursement Obligations to the applicable Issuing Lender.
 
(h) The Borrowers hereby irrevocably waive the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Payment Obligations (including all funds
 

 

92

 


 
deposited in the Cash Concentration Account, any other Approved Deposit Account or any Cash Collateral Account) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agree that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, Section 7.4 or Section 7.15(g), after the delivery of a Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all Notices of Actionable Default then pending pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) all payments made to or received by any Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender constituting proceeds of Collateral shall be applied pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement and (ii) all other payments made to or received by any Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender shall be applied in the following order:
 
(i) first, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of any Loans that any Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender or Issuing Lender for which such Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Loan Parties;
 
(ii) second, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agents;
 
(iii) third, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders;
 
(iv) fourth, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Agents;
 
(v) fifth, to pay Payment Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Lenders and Issuing Lenders;
 
(vi) sixth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of all Payment Obligations;
 
(vii) seventh, to pay or prepay principal payments (and, when applicable, to provide cash collateral) for all Payment Obligations;
 
(viii) eighth, to pay all other Payment Obligations; and
 
(ix) ninth, as directed by the Company;
 
provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any of the Payment Obligations set forth in any of clauses first through eighth above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Payment Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Payment Obligations ratably, based on the proportion of each Agent’s and each Lender’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Payment Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Multi-Currency Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Protective Advances and Swing Line Loans until paid in full, second to repay Local Loans until such Loans are paid in full and then to repay the Revolving Credit Loans. The order of payment application set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) above may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Required Lenders without any notice to or consent of or approval by any Loan Party or any other Person that is not a party to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment adversely affecting any Agent shall also require the prior written consent of such Agent, (ii) any such amendment not adversely affecting the Multi-Currency Lenders shall not require the consent of the Required Multi-Currency Lenders and (iii) any such amendment not
 

 

93

 


 
adversely affecting the Term Loan Lenders shall not require the consent of the Required Term Loan Lenders.
 
(i) At the option of the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, principal on the Swing Line Loans, L/C Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums due and payable in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and Protective Advances may be paid from the proceeds of Swing Line Loans or Revolving Credit Loans. The Company, each Lender and each Issuing Lender hereby authorizes the Swing Line Lender to make such Swing Line Loans pursuant to Article IV and the Multi-Currency Lenders to make such Revolving Credit Loans pursuant to Article III from time to time in the amounts of any and all principal payable with respect to the Swing Line Loans, L/C Reimbursement Obligations, interest, fees, expenses and other sums payable in respect of the Revolving Credit Loans and Protective Advances, and further authorizes the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent to give the Multi-Currency Lenders notice of any borrowing with respect to such Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans and to distribute the proceeds of such Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans to pay such amounts. The Borrowers agree that all such Swing Line Loans and Revolving Credit Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it (irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions in Section 9.2, which conditions the Multi-Currency Lenders hereby irrevocably waive for the purposes of this clause (i)) and directs that all proceeds thereof shall be used to pay such amounts.
 
Section 7.16   Interest Act (Canada).   For purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), whenever any interest under this Agreement on account of Local Loans or Acceptances which are made in Canada or made to any Local Borrowing Subsidiary which is organized under the laws of Canada or any Province thereof is calculated using a rate based upon a year of 360 days, such rate determined pursuant to such calculation, when expressed as an annual rate, is equivalent to (x) the applicable rate based upon a year of 360 days, (y) multiplied by the actual number of days in the calendar year in which the period for which such interest is payable ends, and (z) divided by 360. The rates of interest specified in this Agreement are nominal rates and all interest payments and computations are to be made without allowance or deduction for deemed reinvestment of interest.
 
ARTICLE VIII
 
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
In order to induce the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans and to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder, the Company hereby represents and warrants to each of them that:
 
Section 8.1   Corporate Existence.   Each Loan Party is duly organized, validly existing and (to the extent applicable under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization) in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the corporate (or other requisite legal) power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is presently engaged, and is (to the extent applicable under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) duly qualified as a foreign corporation and (to the extent applicable under the laws of the relevant jurisdiction) in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification and where all such failures to so qualify and be in good standing would, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 

 

94

 


 
Section 8.2   Corporate Power.   (a) Each Loan Party has the corporate power, authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each of the Borrowers, to borrow hereunder, and it has taken as of the Closing Date all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of each of the Borrowers, to authorize its borrowings on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
(b) No consent of any other Person (including, without limitation, stockholders or creditors of any Borrower or of any Parent of the Company), and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party is a party by or against such Loan Party, except for (i) filing of the Mortgages referred to in Section 9.1(d), (ii) any filings required under the UCC, (iii) any filings required to be made with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office, (iv) any filings, notices, consents, licenses, permits, approvals, authorizations, registrations or declarations required under the laws of jurisdictions other than the United States or any political subdivision thereof in connection with the pledge of stock of Foreign Subsidiaries or any assets located in, or created under, the laws of any such jurisdiction or political subdivision and (v) any consents, licenses, permits, approvals or authorizations, exemptions, registrations, filings or declarations that have already been obtained and remain in full force and effect.
 
(c) This Agreement has been, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party will be, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each Loan Party. This Agreement constitutes, and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, when executed and delivered by it and the other parties thereto, will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of each Loan Party, enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity.
 
Section 8.3   No Legal Bar to Loans.   The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party will not violate any Contractual Obligation or material Requirement of Law to which such Loan Party is a party, or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company is a party or by which such Loan Party or, to the best knowledge of the Company, any Parent of the Company or any of their respective material properties or assets may be bound, and will not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than under the Security Documents or as contemplated by the Intercreditor Agreement) on any of their respective material properties or assets pursuant to the provisions of any Contractual Obligation.
 
Section 8.4   No Material Litigation.   No litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority is presently pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened against it, any of the other Loan Parties, or any of its or their properties or assets, (a) with respect to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) with respect to the validity or enforceability of the obligations of any Borrower or any Loan Party under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, (c) with respect to the rights of the relevant Issuing Lender, any L/C Participant, or the Agents with respect to any Application or Letter of Credit, (d) with respect to the rights of the relevant Local Fronting Lender or the Multi-
 

 

95

 


 
Currency Lenders with respect to any Local Loan or Acceptance or (e) which would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, except (in the case of this clause (e) only) for any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding which has been disclosed in any of the Company’s or Revlon’s public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003 and its reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2004 or which arises out of the same facts and circumstances, and alleges substantially the same complaints and damages, as any litigation, investigation or proceeding so disclosed and in which there has been no material adverse change since the date of such disclosure.
 
Section 8.5   No Default.   No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default in any material respect in the payment or performance of any material obligations or in the performance of any Contractual Obligation to which it is a party or by which it or any of its material properties or assets may be bound, and no Default hereunder has occurred and is continuing. No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default under any material order, award or decree of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority binding upon or affecting it or by which any of its material properties or assets is bound or affected, and no such order, award or decree would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
Section 8.6   Ownership of Properties; Liens.   Except as is or would be permitted pursuant to Section 11.3, each Borrower and its Subsidiaries has (a) good and marketable title to all its owned, and valid leasehold interests in all its leased, real property and (b) good title to all its owned, and valid leasehold interests in all its leased, personal properties and assets, in each case subject to no Lien.
 
Section 8.7   Taxes.   (a) Each Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and, to the best knowledge of the Company, any other member (as such term is defined in Treasury Regulations §1.1502-1(b), or any similar provision of state, local or foreign law) of the consolidated, combined or unitary group (if any) of which the Company is or was a member, has timely filed or caused to be timely filed all material tax returns (including, without limitation, information returns) which are required to be filed, and have paid all material taxes (whether or not shown to be due and payable on such returns) or on any assessments made against them (other than those being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves (in accordance with GAAP) have been provided on the books of such Borrower or such Subsidiary, or other member of the consolidated, combined or unitary group, as the case may be), and no tax Liens which violate Section 11.3(a) have been filed. As of the date hereof, the period within which United States federal income taxes may be assessed against any Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has expired without further extension or waiver for all taxable years ending on or before December 31, 2002.
 
(b) The Company does not intend to treat the Loans and the Letters of Credit and the related transactions contemplated hereby as being a “reportable transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4).
 
Section 8.8   ERISA.   No Reportable Event has occurred during the immediately preceding six-year period with respect to any Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, and each Plan (other than any Multiemployer Plan or any multiemployer health or welfare plan) has complied and has been administered in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code except for such non-compliance that would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The amount by which (a) the present value of all
 

 

96

 


 
accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan maintained by the Company or any Commonly Controlled Entity (based on then current assumptions used to fund such Plan, except that the liability discount rate shall instead be the reasonable expected long term rate of return on plan assets used in the Company’s annual audited financial statements), as of the last annual valuation date applicable thereto (except with regard to the long term rate of return on plan assets, such rate used in the Company’s annual audited financial statements for the Company’s last fiscal year ending on or before such valuation date), exceeds (b) the value of the assets of each such Plan allocable to such benefits, in the aggregate for all such Plans as to which such present value of accrued benefits exceeds the value of its assets (the “Unfunded Pension Amount”), when aggregated with the Potential Withdrawal Liability (as hereinafter defined), is less than $70,000,000. No Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has during the immediately preceding six-year period had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that resulted or would be reasonably likely to result in any unpaid withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect. The “Potential Withdrawal Liability” shall mean the withdrawal liability under Section 4201 of ERISA to which a Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject under ERISA if such Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the most recent valuation date applicable thereto. No Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has received notice that any Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization or Insolvent where such Reorganization or Insolvency has resulted, or would be reasonably likely to result in an unpaid liability that would be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect nor, to the best knowledge of such Borrower, is any such Reorganization or Insolvency reasonably likely to occur.
 
Section 8.9   Financial Condition.   The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2001, December 31, 2002 and December 31, 2003 and the related audited consolidated statements of operations and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal years ended on such dates and the notes thereto present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such dates, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the fiscal years then ended. The unaudited consolidated condensed balance sheet of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at March 31, 2004 and the related unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations and stockholders’ equity and cash flows for the period ended on such date and the notes thereto present fairly the consolidated financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as of such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the period then ended (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes). All such financial statements, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP (subject, in the case of the interim financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes) applied consistently throughout the periods presented except as disclosed in such financial statements and the notes thereto. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has any material Contingent Obligation or any material obligation, liability or commitment, direct or contingent (including, without limitation, any liability for taxes or any material forward or long-term commitment), which is not (A) reflected in the foregoing statements and the notes thereto or (B) permitted to be incurred under this Agreement.
 
Section 8.10   No Change.   Since December 31, 2005, there has been no material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of either of (a) Revlon or (b) the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole (it being understood that nothing set forth in the Form 10-Q’s of the Company for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2006, June 30, 2006 and September 30, 2006 filed with the SEC or the Form 8-K’s of the Company filed with or furnished to the SEC prior to
 

 

97

 


 
the date hereof during fiscal year 2006 constitutes, either individually or in the aggregate, such a material adverse change).
 
Section 8.11   Federal Regulations.   No Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is engaged or will engage, principally or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of “purchasing” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. No part of the proceeds of the Loans or other extensions of credit hereunder will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulation U or X of such Board of Governors.

Section 10.5   Maintenance of Property; Insurance.   The Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (a) keep all property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, except where the failure to do so would not, in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect and (b) maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies insurance on such of its property and against such liabilities in at least such amounts and against at least such risks as are customarily insured against in the same general area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business and furnish to the Agents, upon written request, and to each Lender which makes a written request through the Administrative Agents, reasonable information as to the insurance carried.

(e) of any of the following events, as soon as possible, and in any event, within 30 days after the Company knows or has reason to know thereof:

(f) of a material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole, or of any event which would be reasonably likely to materially adversely affect the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole to perform their obligations under the Loan Documents; and

111

 


 
so either individually or in the aggregate would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect; and
 
(b) Conduct and complete all investigations, studies, sampling and testing, and all remedial, removal and other actions required under Environmental Laws and promptly comply with all orders and directives of all Governmental Authorities respecting Environmental Laws, except (i) to the extent that the failure to perform any obligations contained in this clause (b) would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) to the extent that such obligations are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and provided that the pendency of any and all such proceedings would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
Section 10.10   Additional Guaranties.   The Company will from time to time cause each Domestic Subsidiary thereof which has not previously done so to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agents duly executed supplements and amendments to the Guaranty, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agents. In the event that there shall be a change in law that eliminates the adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would have resulted on the date hereof (so that such consequences, if any, are immaterial) from the guaranty by any Foreign Subsidiary of the Payment Obligations, the Company will cause each of its Foreign Subsidiaries to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agents duly executed supplements and amendments to the Guaranty, in each case, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.

Such pledge shall be granted pursuant to duly executed joinders and amendments to the Pledge and Security Agreement and, if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.
 

(b) Except to the extent set forth in Section 10.16, the Company will, and will cause each of the Subsidiary Guarantors to, pledge to the Collateral Agent 66% (rounded downward to eliminate any fraction of a share) of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of Stock and Stock Equivalents entitled to vote (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.956-2(c)(2)) (“Voting Stock”) and 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of each class of Stock and Stock Equivalents not entitled to vote (within the meaning of such regulation) (“Non-Voting Stock”) of each first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor which (in each case) is owned of record by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor and which has not previously been pledged hereunder; provided, however, that in no event shall the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors pledge an aggregate amount of Voting Stock that exceeds 66% of the total outstanding Voting Stock (taken as a whole) of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each such pledge shall be granted pursuant to duly executed joinders and amendments to the Pledge and Security Agreement and if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case, as (x) the New Term Loan Administrative Agent deems necessary or advisable in order to effectively grant a valid, perfected and enforceable security interest in the Pledged Stock delivered thereto under the laws of the State of New York and, if such issuer of Pledged Stock is organized under the laws of the United

 

 

112

 


 
Kingdom, Canada or Bermuda and, if requested by the New Term Loan Administrative Agent in its sole discretion exercised reasonably and in accordance with customary business practices for comparable financing transactions, such other jurisdiction in which the issuer of such Pledged Stock is organized to the extent such jurisdiction constitutes, directly or indirectly, one of the top five net revenue generating markets of the Company and its Subsidiaries and (y) is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the New Term Loan Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless either the New Term Loan Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (as defined in the New Term Loan Agreement) shall at any time otherwise reasonably request, no such pledge shall be required pursuant to this Section 10.11(b) with respect to the Stock and Stock Equivalents of any first-tier Foreign Subsidiary listed on Schedule 8.13 which is not pledged on the Closing Date or is acquired or formed after the date hereof and either (A) is listed on Schedule 8.13 as being slated for liquidation, dissolution or merger or (B) does not have assets in excess of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to any other currency, the Equivalent thereof).
 
(c) Each joinder and amendment to the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Security Documents required to be executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be promptly executed and delivered after the organization, acquisition or identification of any such Subsidiary Guarantor or first-tier Foreign Subsidiary and shall be accompanied by share certificates evidencing the Pledged Stock thereunder (to the extent that such Pledged Stock is certificated), together with an undated stock power for each such share certificate (duly executed in blank and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the pledgor of the Pledged Stock represented by such certificate). Each joinder and amendment to the Pledge and Security Agreement and the other Security Documents executed and delivered pursuant to this Section 10.11 shall be accompanied by (i) in the case of the pledge of Stock or Stock Equivalents of any Foreign Subsidiary, evidence of the taking of all such other actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such pledge, and (ii) in the case of any Subsidiary, such resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agents and shall otherwise be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.
 
(d) In the event that there shall be a change in law that eliminates the adverse tax consequences to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that would have resulted on the date hereof (so that such consequences, if any, are immaterial) from the pledge of 66-2/3% or more of the Voting Stock of any Foreign Subsidiary, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, (i) pledge such additional amount of shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary the Voting Stock of which then is pledged hereunder) and (ii) notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.11(b), pledge the maximum amount of shares of such Voting Stock (with respect to each Foreign Subsidiary the Voting Stock of which is pledged thereafter), in each case which can be so pledged without the incurrence of adverse tax consequences and take or cause to be taken such further action as the Administrative Agents may reasonably request (including, without limitation, the delivery of legal opinions) in order to perfect its security interest in such stock.
 
Section 10.12   Additional Collateral.   The Company will cause each of its Subsidiary Guarantors which has not previously done so to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agents duly executed joinders and amendments to the Pledge and Security Agreement and, if applicable, the other Security Documents, in each case, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents, and to take such other action as reasonably shall be necessary or as the Administrative Agents reasonably shall request to grant to the Collateral Agent a valid and enforceable first priority perfected security interest in all Collateral of such Subsidiary Guarantor (subject to any Liens permitted by Section 11.3). Each such joinder
 

 

113

 


 
and amendment shall be accompanied by such evidence of the taking of all actions as may be necessary or appropriate for the perfection and first priority of such security interest (including, without limitation, the filing of any necessary Uniform Commercial Code financing statements) and such resolutions, incumbency certificates and legal opinions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agents, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents.
 
Section 10.13   Asset Transfers.   (a) Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantors will grant to the Collateral Agent a first priority, perfected security interest (subject to any Liens thereon which are permitted to encumber the relevant asset pursuant to Section 11.3) in all properties and assets (whether tangible or intangible) of a type that constitutes Collateral under any Security Document to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is a party which are sold, transferred, conveyed or otherwise distributed to the Company or any such Subsidiary Guarantor (including, without limitation, by way of merger or consolidation) from any Subsidiary of the Company simultaneously with the effectiveness of such sale, transfer, conveyance or other distribution.

The Company will submit, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to submit, to the Administrative Agents, by each January 31st and July 31st of each year following the Closing Date, commencing January 31, 2005 (or, if the New Term Loan Administrative Agent reasonably so requests in writing, more often; provided, however, that, except during such time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the New Term Loan Administrative Agent shall not so request more frequently than monthly), a Copyright Security Agreement (substantially in the form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement or such other form reasonably acceptable to the New Term Loan Administrative Agent) confirming the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Copyright acquired or with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor filed an application for copyright registration during the two prior calendar quarters, duly executed and in proper form for recordation in the United States Copyright Office.

conformity with its ordinary business practice then in effect, of any Trademark acquired or adopted and used or intended to be used by it, with respect to any mark which the Required Lenders (as defined in the New Term Loan Agreement) reasonably deem to be of such significance as to require the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to take such steps as may be necessary or desirable to grant to the Collateral Agent a perfected, first priority security interest in such Trademark to the extent that it has any ownership interest in such Trademark which is registerable by it under trademark or other applicable law; and
 
(ii) with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Significant Trademark, any appropriate assignment to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor of the interest acquired by it in the United States in such Significant Trademark, including, without limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the Company’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s predecessors-in-interest of which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is or becomes aware.

The Company will submit, and will cause each Subsidiary Guarantor to submit, to the Administrative Agents, by each January 31st and July 31st of each year following the Closing Date, commencing January 31, 2005 (or, if the New Term Loan Administrative Agent reasonably so requests in writing, more often; provided, however, that, except during such time as a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the New Term Loan Administrative Agent shall not so request more frequently than monthly), a Trademark Security Agreement (substantially in the form attached to the Pledge and Security Agreement or such other form reasonably acceptable to the New Term Loan Administrative Agent) confirming the security interest of the Collateral Agent in any Trademark acquired or with respect to which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor filed an application for trademark registration during the two prior calendar quarters, duly executed and in proper form for recordation in the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

(ii) with respect to any interest acquired after the date hereof by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in a Patent, any appropriate assignment to the Company or such Domestic Subsidiary of the interest acquired by it in the United States in such Patent, including, without limitation, all previously unrecorded assignments to the Company’s or such Domestic Subsidiary’s predecessors-in-interest of which the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor is or becomes aware.

(xii) release (A) all or substantially all of the Collateral provided for in the Security Documents, (B) the guarantee obligations of Revlon provided for in any Security Document or (C) the guarantee obligations of all or substantially all of the Guarantors (other than Revlon) provided for in the Security Documents.
 
(b) Any waiver, amendment, supplement or modification pursuant to this Section 14.1 shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Lenders and all future holders of any of the Loans, the Notes, the L/C Reimbursement Obligations and all other Payment Obligations. In the case of such waiver, the parties to the Loan Documents, the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agents shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder and under the Notes and the Security Documents, and any Default or any Event of Default waived shall, to the extent provided in such waiver, be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but, no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. The Administrative Agents shall, as soon as practicable, furnish a copy of each such amendment, supplement, modification or waiver to each Lender.
 
(c) To the extent (a) the consent of any Lender in its capacity as a Multi-Currency Lender or a Term Loan Lender, as applicable, is required, but not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 14.1(c) being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, supplement or waiver (a “Proposed Change”) and (b) the applicable Administrative Agent shall have consented to such Proposed Change, at the request of the Company and with the consent of such Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion exercised reasonably), any Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to such Administrative Agent (which Eligible Assignee may be the Lender acting as such Administrative Agent and shall have consented to such Proposed Change) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender shall, upon the request of such Administrative Agent, sell and assign to such Eligible Assignee all of (i) the Multi-Currency Commitments, the Multi-Currency Loans and the Aggregate Actual Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit or (ii) the Term Loan Commitments and the Term Loans, as the case may be, of such Non-Consenting Lender for an amount equal to the principal balance of all applicable Loans held by such Non-Consenting Lender under clause (i) or (ii) above and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of such sale and purchase (the “Purchase Amount”); provided, however, that such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) shall not be effective until (A) such Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to such Administrative Agent and the Company whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof, (B) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received the Purchase Amount from such Eligible Assignee and (C) in the case of clause (ii) above, the Company shall have paid such Non-Consenting Lender an amount equal to the Prepayment Fee, if any, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans subject to such sale and purchase (which sale and purchase shall constitute a prepayment of such Term Loans). Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent (x) an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and assignment and (y) to the extent the Commitments and Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance are evidenced by a Note or Notes, such Note or Notes; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance or deliver such Note or Notes shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid.

(c) Any obligation of the Company or any other Loan Party pursuant to this Section 14.5 shall survive Full Satisfaction of the Payment Obligations.
 
Section 14.6   Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.   (a) Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans, the Local Loans, the Acceptances and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Aggregate Actual Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit and Multi-Currency Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Aggregate Actual Outstanding Multi-Currency Extensions of Credit and Multi-Currency Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than $1,000,000 or an integral
 

 

150

 


 
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Term Loans, and $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof in the case of Multi-Currency Commitments, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Company and the applicable Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of such Lender and (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the applicable Administrative Agent and the Company (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 14.6, the consent of the Company shall not be required (x) for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (y) for any assignment by an Administrative Agent or any Affiliate or Related Fund of an Administrative Agent of the Commitments or Loans held on the Closing Date by an Administrative Agent or any such Affiliate or Related Fund if such assignment is made as part of the primary syndication of the Term Loan Facility and the Multi-Currency Facility.
 
(b) The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment. Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 14.1(c), the receipt by the applicable Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations (including without limitation the obligations under Section 7.12(c)) of a Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no Transferee (including an assignee that is already a Lender hereunder at the time of the assignment) shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Section 7.12 than that to which the assignor Lender would have been entitled to receive had no such assignment occurred, (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notification in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Payment Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto). Solely for purposes of calculating the assignment fee under this Section 14.6(b), multiple assignments on the same date by a Lender to its Affiliates or Related Funds shall constitute one assignment.
 
(c) Each Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 14.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recording of the names and addresses of the Term Loan Lenders and the Multi-Currency Lenders, as applicable, and the applicable Commitments of and principal amount of and interest with respect to the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to each applicable Lender from time to time (each, a “Register”). Any assignment pursuant to this Section 14.6 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in such Register. The entries in each Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agents and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. All information contained in each
 

 

151

 


 
Register as to any Lender shall be available for inspection by the Company, the Administrative Agents or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and L/C Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and their assignees in and to such Loans and L/C Obligations shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the applicable Register. A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or an assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation. This Section 14.6 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code or such regulations). Solely for purposes of this and for tax purposes only, the Administrative Agents shall act as the Company’s agent for purposes of maintaining such notations of transfer in each Register.
 
(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the applicable Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the applicable Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Company. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Company, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the applicable Administrative Agent, new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Loans and Commitments assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Loans or Commitments hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Loans or Commitments retained by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes.
 
(f) In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 14.6, each Lender may do each of the following:
 
(i) grant to a Special Purpose Vehicle the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder and the exercise of such option by any such Special Purpose Vehicle and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy (once and to the extent that such Loans are made) the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans thereunder, provided, however, that (x) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment or an offer to commit by such a Special Purpose Vehicle to make Loans hereunder and no such Special Purpose Vehicle shall be liable for any indemnity or other Payment Obligation (other than the making of Loans for which such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have exercised an option, and then only in accordance with the relevant option agreement) and (y) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain responsible to the other parties for the performance of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement and shall remain the holder of the Payment Obligations for all purposes hereunder; and
 
(ii) assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to (A) without notice to or consent of the Administrative Agents or the Company, any Federal Reserve Bank (pursuant to Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board) and (B) without consent of the Administrative Agents or the Company,
 

 

152

 


 
(1) any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of, the holders of such Lender’s securities and (2) any Special Purpose Vehicle to which such Lender has granted an option pursuant to clause (i) above;
 
provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 14.6 other than this clause (f) or clause (g) below. Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Payment Obligations). The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Company from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agents and the Lenders, Issuing Lenders and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Payment Obligations, amend this clause (f) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest. Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.9(d),  7.10 and 7.12 as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make under Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender any payment in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; provided, further, that any such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have complied with the requirements of Section 7.12.
 
(g) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans, the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Line Loans, the Local Loans, the Acceptances and the Letters of Credit). The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for the payment of principal, interest or fees payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 9 of the Intercreditor Agreement. In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Payment Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Company, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Each
 

 

153

 


 
participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 7.9(d), 7.10 and 7.12 to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender) in excess of the amount the Company would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold; provided, further, that any such participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 7.12.
 
(h) Any Issuing Lender may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Issuing Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Company, the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent, such Issuing Lender and such other Issuing Lender. If any Issuing Lender ceases to be an Issuing Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 14.6, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuing Lender’s obligations to issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Article V shall terminate and such Issuing Lender shall be an Issuing Lender hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.
 
(i) This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Company, the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent and when the Administrative Agents shall have been notified by each Lender and Issuing Lender that such Lender or Issuing Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agents, the Collateral Agent and each Lender and Issuing Lender and, in each case, their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.
 
Section 14.7   Adjustments; Set-off.   (a) On the date of occurrence of any Event of Default specified in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of Section 12.1(j), each Multi-Currency Lender shall be deemed to have purchased an interest in the Payment Obligations owing to each other Multi-Currency Lender (and, to the extent necessary after giving effect to any actual recoveries on such Payment Obligations, shall actually fund such purchase) such that, after giving effect to all such purchases or deemed purchases, each Multi-Currency Lender is owed directly or through such purchase or deemed purchase the portion of the aggregate amount of Payment Obligations then outstanding with respect to the Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment equal to such Lender’s ratable share of all Payment Obligations then outstanding with respect to such Aggregate Multi-Currency Commitment. Each Multi-Currency Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to purchase such Payment Obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.7(a) shall be irrevocable and unconditional.
 
(b) Unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Syndicated Lender (a “benefitted Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of any of its Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations owing to it under any Commitment, or interest thereon, pursuant to a guarantee or otherwise, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to and collateral received by any other Syndicated Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, owing to it under such Commitment or interest thereon, such benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Syndicated Lenders such portion of each such other Syndicated Lender’s similar Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, or shall provide such other Syndicated Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be necessary to cause such benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral or proceeds ratably
 

 

154

 


 
with each of the Syndicated Lenders which hold such Commitment; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. Each Borrower agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another Lender’s Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including, without limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such purchasing Lender were the direct holder of such portion. After the delivery of a Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all Notices of Actionable Default then pending, all payments or Collateral (or proceeds thereof) received by any Agent, Lender or Issuing Lender in contravention of this Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent to be applied pursuant to Section 7.15(h).
 
(c) Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in addition to any rights and remedies of the Syndicated Lenders provided by law, upon both the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Payment Obligations owing in connection with this Agreement, each Syndicated Lender and each of its Affiliates shall have the right, without prior notice to the Company, any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of the Company to such or any other Syndicated Lender or such Affiliate any amount owing from such Syndicated Lender or such Affiliate to the Company at, or at any time after, the happening of both of the above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may be exercised by such Syndicated Lender or such Affiliate against the Company or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, custodian or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of the Company, or against anyone else claiming through or against the Company or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Syndicated Lender or such Affiliate prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Syndicated Lender or such Affiliate of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Syndicated Lender agrees promptly to notify the Company and the Administrative Agents after any such set-off and application made by such Syndicated Lender or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
 
(d) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Local Fronting Lenders provided by law, upon both the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the obligations owing in connection with this Agreement, each Local Fronting Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to any Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply against any indebtedness, whether matured or unmatured, of such Borrower to such Local Fronting Lender any amount owing from such Local Fronting Lender to such Borrower at, or at any time after, the happening of both of the above mentioned events, and such right of set-off may be exercised by such Local Fronting Lender against such Borrower or against any trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receiver, custodian or execution, judgment or attachment creditor of such Borrower, or against anyone else claiming through or against such Borrower or such trustee in bankruptcy, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, receivers, or execution, judgment or attachment creditor, notwithstanding the fact that such right of set-off shall not have been exercised by such Local Fronting Lender prior to the making, filing or issuance, or service upon such Local Fronting Lender of, or of notice of, any such petition, assignment for the benefit of creditors, appointment or application for the appointment of a receiver, or issuance of
 

 

155

 


 
execution, subpoena, order or warrant. Each Local Fronting Lender agrees promptly to notify such Borrower and the Administrative Agents after any such set-off and application made by such Local Fronting Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
 
Section 14.8   Delegation by each Local Borrowing Subsidiary.   Each Local Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as the agent of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for the purpose of giving notices and taking other actions delegated to such Local Borrowing Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Local Borrowing Subsidiary hereby irrevocably grants to the Company such Local Borrowing Subsidiary’s power-of-attorney, and hereby authorizes the Company, to act in place of such Local Borrowing Subsidiary with respect to matters delegated to such Local Borrowing Subsidiary pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to take such other actions as are reasonably incidental thereto.

Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Security Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or any contiguous real estate, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Lien in favor of any Governmental Authority for Environmental Liabilities and Costs and (iv) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by the Collateral Agent, at the direction of the Administrative Agents, any Lender or any Issuing Lender, or any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender having become the successor in interest to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
 

 

159

 


 
and (y) to the extent attributable to acts of the Agents, such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any agent on behalf of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender.
 
(b) The Company shall, and shall cause each other Loan Party to, indemnify the Agents, the Lenders and each Issuing Lenders for, and hold the Agents, the Lenders and each Issuing Lender harmless from and against, any and all claims for brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation made against the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders for any broker, finder or consultant with respect to any agreement, arrangement or understanding made by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
 
(c) The Company, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Company, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Company’s choice. In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Company to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Company shall promptly do so and lead such defense, and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be reasonable for a secondary counsel; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to reimburse the Indemnitees for the fees and expenses of more than one joint counsel for the Administrative Agents and the Collateral Agent and one joint counsel for the other Indemnitees unless such representation shall result in a conflict of interest among the Indemnitees. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Company’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.
 
(d) The Company agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 14.17) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive Full Satisfaction of the Payment Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
Section 14.18   Limitation of Liability.   (a) The Company agrees that no Indemnitee shall have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective equity holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and in the other Loan Documents, except to the extent such liability is determined in a final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In no event, however, shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including, without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings). The Company hereby waives, releases and agrees (each for itself and on behalf of Revlon and the Company’s Subsidiaries) not to sue upon any such claim for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.
 
(b) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY AGENT AFFILIATE HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY LOAN PARTY, LENDER, ISSUING LENDER OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DIRECT OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, LOSSES OR EXPENSES (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR ANY

 ARTICLE V          REMEDIAL PROVISIONS

 Section 5.1          Code and Other Remedies
 
During the continuance of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent may in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Secured Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived to the extent permitted by applicable law), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral, and may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver any Collateral (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other applicable law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the Collateral Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Collateral Agent at places that the Collateral Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The Collateral Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 5.1, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Collateral Agent and any other Secured Party hereunder, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, in such order as the Intercreditor Agreement shall prescribe, and only after such application and after the payment by the Collateral Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, need the Collateral Agent account for the surplus, if any, to any Grantor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 days before such sale or other disposition.

 

23

 


 Section 5.2          Accounts and Payments in Respect of General Intangibles

Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent, segregated from other funds of such Grantor. Each such deposit of Proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit.
 
(b)  At the Collateral Agent’s request, during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall deliver to the Collateral Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the agreements and transactions that gave rise to the Accounts or payments in respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices and shipping receipts.

(e)  Upon the request of the Collateral Agent at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Grantor shall notify Account Debtors that the Accounts or General Intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Collateral Agent and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Collateral Agent. In addition, the Collateral Agent may at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default enforce such Grantor’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.
 
(f)  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each Grantor shall remain liable under each of the Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of this Agreement or the receipt by the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party of any payment relating thereto, nor shall the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any Grantor under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to

All such Proceeds while held by the Collateral Agent in a Cash Collateral Account (or by such Grantor in trust for the Collateral Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the Secured Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 Section 5.5          Registration Rights
 
(a)  Each Grantor recognizes that the Collateral Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any Pledged Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
 
(b)  Each Grantor agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Section 5.5 valid and binding and in compliance with all other applicable Requirements of Law. Each Grantor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 5.5 will cause irreparable injury to the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties, that the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 5.5 shall be specifically enforceable against such Grantor, and such Grantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreements or that the Secured Obligations have been paid in full.

 Section 5.6          Deficiency
 
Each Grantor shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency in accordance with Section 14.5 of the Credit Agreements.

 Section 5.7          Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property
 
(a)  Each Grantor hereby grants to the Collateral Agent, solely to the extent necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to exercise the rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Security Documents, an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Grantors) to, during the continuance of an Event

 

26

 


of Default, use, license or sublicense any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property, now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor and wherever the same may be located, which license shall include reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) any security interest granted to the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party hereunder or any other Security Document on any Intellectual Property of any Grantor, and the exercise of any rights and remedies (including any sale, transfer or disposal) by the Collateral Agent related thereto, shall be subject to the license granted in the foregoing sentence at all times and (ii) the Collateral Agent may exercise such license for the benefit of any Secured Party (including the Multi-Currency Secured Parties with respect to the sale, transfer or disposal of any Multi-Currency Collateral), regardless of the priority of Liens on any Collateral granted to such Secured Party, in accordance with the Intercreditor Agreement.

 
(b)  Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, any security interest granted hereunder in any Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property shall be subject to the license granted under the preceding paragraph (a), as such license may be exercised for the benefit of the Secured Parties holding such license, and any sale or transfer of such Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property upon any exercise of remedies under this Agreement shall be made expressly subject to such license.
 
ARTICLE VI          THE COLLATERAL AGENT
 
Section 6.1          Collateral Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact
 
(a)  Subject to the last sentence of this Section 6.1(a), each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of such Grantor or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any appropriate action and to execute any document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor hereby gives the Collateral Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any of the following:
 
(i)  in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and indorse and collect any check, draft, note, acceptance or other instrument for the payment of moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Collateral Agent for the purpose of collecting any such moneys due under any Account or General Intangible or with respect to any other Collateral whenever payable;
 
(ii)  in the case of any Intellectual Property, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any agreement, instrument, document or paper as the Collateral Agent may request to evidence the Collateral Agent’s security interests in such Intellectual Property and the goodwill and General Intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby;

 

27

 


 
(iii)  pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against the Collateral, effect any repair or pay any insurance called for by the terms of this Agreement (including all or any part of the premiums therefor and the costs thereof);
 
(iv)  execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 5.1 (Code and Other Remedies) or 5.5 (Registration Rights), any endorsement, assignment or other instrument of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; or
 
(v)  (A) direct any party liable for any payment under any Collateral to make payment of any moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Collateral Agent or as the Collateral Agent shall direct, (B) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any moneys, claims and other amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral, (C) sign and indorse any invoice, freight or express bill, bill of lading, storage or warehouse receipt, draft against debtors, assignment, verification, notice and other document in connection with any Collateral, (D) commence and prosecute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect any Collateral and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral, (E) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against such Grantor with respect to any Collateral, (F) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Collateral Agent may deem appropriate, (G) assign any Copyright, Patent or Trademark (along with the goodwill of the business to which any such Trademark pertains) throughout the world for such term or terms, on such conditions, and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall in its sole discretion determine, including the execution and filing of any document necessary to effectuate or record such assignment and (H) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any Collateral as fully and completely as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Collateral Agent’s option and such Grantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts and things that the Collateral Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Collateral Agent’s and the other Secured Parties’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as fully and effectively as such Grantor might do.
 
Anything in this clause (a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent agrees that it shall not exercise any right under the power of attorney provided for in this clause (a) unless an Event of Default shall be continuing.
 
(b)  If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Collateral Agent, at its option, but without any obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement.
 
(c)  The reasonable expenses of the Collateral Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 6.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Revolving Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans under the Existing Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Collateral Agent to the date reimbursed by the relevant Grantor, shall be payable by such Grantor to the Collateral Agent on demand.
 

(d)  Each Grantor hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and agencies contained in this

 

28

 


Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released.

Section 6.2          Duty of Collateral Agent
 
The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Collateral Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
Section 6.3          Authorization of Financing Statements
 
Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent (and, to the extent authorized by the Collateral Agent, its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives), at any time and from time to time, to file or record financing statements, amendments to financing statements, and other filing or recording documents or instruments with respect to the Collateral in such form and in such offices as the Collateral Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement under the laws of any jurisdiction of the United States, and such financing statements and amendments may described the Collateral covered thereby as “all assets of the debtor”, “all personal property of the debtor” or words of similar effect. Each Grantor hereby also authorizes the Collateral Agent and its Affiliates, counsel and other representatives, at any time and from time to time, to file continuation statements with respect to previously filed financing statements. A photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement shall be sufficient as a financing statement or other filing or recording document or instrument for filing or recording in any jurisdiction.
 
Section 6.4          Authority of Collateral Agent
 
Each Grantor acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Collateral Agent under this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Collateral Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Collateral Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, be governed by the Intercreditor Agreement, the Credit Agreements and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the Collateral Agent and the Grantors, the Collateral Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and no Grantor shall be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. To the extent that the Intercreditor Agreement conflicts with any other Loan Document with regard to the authority of the Collateral Agent, the Intercreditor Agreement shall control.

 

29

 


 
ARTICLE VII          MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 7.1          Amendments in Writing
 
None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified unless the same (i) shall be in writing signed by each Grantor, the Collateral Agent and each Administrative Agent and (ii) shall have been approved by the Required Secured Parties pursuant to Section 14.1 of each Credit Agreement; provided, however, that this Agreement may be supplemented in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (but no existing provisions may be modified and no Collateral may be released) through Pledge Amendments and Joinder Agreements, in substantially the form of Annex 1(Form of Pledge Amendment) and Annex 2 (Form of Joinder Agreement) respectively, in each case duly executed by the Collateral Agent and each Grantor directly affected thereby in accordance with Section 10.11 (Additional Stock Pledges) or Section 10.12 (Additional Collateral) of the Credit Agreements.
 
Section 7.2          Notices
 
All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Collateral Agent or any Grantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 14.2 (Notices) of the Credit Agreements; provided, however, that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Grantor shall be addressed to the Company’s notice address set forth in such Section 14.2 (Notices).
 
Section 7.3         No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies
 
Neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 7.1 (Amendments in Writing)), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy that the Collateral Agent or such other Secured Party would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.
 
Section 7.4         Amendment and Restatement; Effectiveness
 
(a)  This Agreement shall not become effective until the Closing Date.

This Agreement is not in any way intended to constitute a novation of the obligations and liabilities existing under the Existing Pledge and Security Agreement or evidence payment or performance of all or any portion of such obligations and liabilities.

 

30

 


 
(c)  The terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Agents’ and the Lenders’ rights and remedies under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall apply to (i) all of the Multi-Currency Payment Obligations and all obligations of the Grantors incurred under the Multi-Currency Loan Documents and (ii) all of the Term Loan Payment Obligations and all obligations of the Grantors incurred under the Term Loan Documents.
 
(d)  Each Grantor hereby reaffirms the Liens granted pursuant to the Multi-Currency Loan Documents to Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Multi-Currency Secured Parties, which Liens shall continue in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement and any renewals thereof and shall continue to secure the Multi-Currency Secured Obligations.
 
(e)  On and after the Closing Date, (i) all references to the Existing Pledge and Security Agreement (or to any amendment or any amendment and restatement thereof) in the Loan Documents shall be deemed to refer to the Existing Pledge and Security Agreement, as amended and restated hereby, (ii) all references to any section (or subsection) of the Existing Pledge and Security Agreement in any Multi-Currency Loan Document (but not herein) shall be amended to become, mutatis mutandis, references to the corresponding provisions of this Agreement and (iii) except as the context otherwise provides, on or after the Closing Date, all references to this Agreement herein (including for purposes of indemnification and reimbursement of fees) shall be deemed to be reference to the Existing Pledge and Security Agreement, as amended and restated hereby.
 
(f)  This amendment and restatement is limited as written and is not a consent to any other amendment, restatement, waiver or other modification, whether or not similar, and, except as expressly provided herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect unless otherwise specifically amended by this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
 
Section 7.5         Successors and Assigns
 
This Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Grantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Collateral Agent and each other Secured Party and their successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Collateral Agent.
 
Section 7.6         Counterparts
 
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signature pages may be detached from multiple counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document. Delivery of an executed counterpart by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.
 
Section 7.7         Severability

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or

 

31

 


unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 7.8         Section Headings
 
The Article and Section titles contained in this Agreement are, and shall be, without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not part of the agreement of the parties hereto.
 
Section 7.9         Entire Agreement
 
This Agreement together with the other Loan Documents represents the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.
 
Section 7.10         Governing Law
 
This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
 
Section 7.11         Additional Grantors
 
If, pursuant to Section 10.10 (Additional Guaranties) of the Credit Agreements, the Company shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that is not a Grantor to become a Grantor hereunder, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Annex 2 (Form of Joinder Agreement) and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Grantor party hereto on the Closing Date.
 
Section 7.12         Release of Collateral
 
(a)  At the time provided in Section 9.1(a) of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created hereby and this Agreement and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Collateral Agent and each Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At the request and sole expense of any Grantor following any such termination, the Collateral Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral of such Grantor held by the Collateral Agent hereunder and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

(b)  If the Collateral Agent shall be directed or permitted pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement to release any Lien created hereby upon any Collateral (including any Collateral sold or disposed of by any Grantor in a transaction permitted by the Credit Agreements), such Collateral shall be released from the Lien created hereby to the extent provided under, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in, Section 9.1 of the Intercreditor Agreement (and, upon such release, shall no longer constitute “Collateral” under the Loan Documents). In connection therewith, the Collateral Agent, at the request and sole expense of the Company, shall execute and deliver to the Company all releases or other documents,

 

32

 


including, without limitation, UCC termination statements, reasonably necessary or desirable for the release of the Lien created hereby on such Collateral. At the request and sole expense of the Company, a Grantor (and its Subsidiaries) shall be released from its obligations hereunder and the Lien granted by such Grantor (and its Subsidiaries) on the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement shall be released in the event that all the capital stock of such Grantor shall be sold or disposed to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreements; provided, however, that the Company shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least ten Business Days (or such shorter period reasonably acceptable to the Collateral Agent) prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release identifying the relevant Grantor and the terms of the sale or other disposition in reasonable detail, including the price thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a certification by the Company in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent stating that such transaction is in compliance with the Credit Agreements and the other Loan Documents.

Section 7.13         Reinstatement
 
Each Grantor further agrees that, if any payment made by any Grantor or other Person and applied to the Multi-Currency Payment Obligations or the Term Loan Payment Obligations is at any time annulled, avoided, set aside, rescinded, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential or otherwise required to be refunded or repaid, or the proceeds of Collateral are required to be returned by any Secured Party to such Grantor, its estate, trustee, receiver or any other party, including any Grantor, under any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or repayment, any Lien or other Collateral securing such liability shall be and remain in full force and effect, as fully as if such payment had never been made or, if prior thereto the Lien granted hereby or other Collateral securing such liability hereunder shall have been released or terminated by virtue of such cancellation or surrender), such Lien or other Collateral shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect any Lien or other Collateral securing the obligations of any Grantor in respect of the amount of such payment.

2.1

Appointment.  Each Secured Party hereby appoints Citicorp as the Collateral Agent hereunder and authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Collateral Documents as are delegated to the Collateral Agent under such documents and to exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby authorizes the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, each of the Collateral Documents to which the Collateral Agent is a party, to exercise all rights, powers and remedies that the Collateral Agent may have under such documents and to act as agent for the Secured Parties under such Collateral Documents.

2.2

Actions; Direction of Administrative Agents.  

(a)

Except as set forth in Section 2.2(b), the Collateral Agent shall take, or refrain from taking, any action as directed in writing (i) by the applicable Administrative Agent as designated in the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, or any other Loan Document with respect to such action, (ii) collectively by the Administrative Agents or (iii) in the absence of such events, with respect to any Collateral (and any provision of the Collateral Documents related thereto), (A) until the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral, by the Senior Agent and (B) thereafter, the Junior Agent.  

(b)

From and after the receipt of any Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, the Collateral Agent shall take, or refrain from, taking any action, with respect to any Collateral (and any provision of the Collateral Documents related thereto), as directed in writing (i) until the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral, by the Senior Agent and (ii) thereafter, the Junior Agent.  Each Administrative Agent, in the event all of the Events of Default giving rise to any Notice of Actionable Default issued by such Administrative Agent has been cured or waived or otherwise has ceased to exist pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, shall withdraw such Notice of Actionable Default by written notice to the Collateral Agent.

(c)

Each Administrative Agent shall promptly send to the other Administrative Agent a copy of any written directions given by such Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided, however, that the failure to comply with this Section 2.2(c) shall not impair any of the rights, powers and remedies of such Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Collateral Document.

(d)

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein or in the Collateral Documents, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to take, or refrain from taking, any action (i) to the extent the Collateral Agent has received a written advice from its counsel that such action is in conflict with any applicable law, Collateral Document or order of any Governmental Authority or (ii) with respect to which the Collateral Agent, in its reasonable judgment, has not received adequate security or indemnity hereunder or under the Collateral Documents.

(e)

Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall impair the right of the Collateral Agent in its discretion to take or omit to take any action which is deemed proper by the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents and which it believes in good faith is not inconsistent with any




 

7







direction of the applicable Administrative Agent delivered pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided, however, the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to take any discretionary action under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document unless so directed by the applicable Administrative Agent.

2.3

Limitation on Duties.  

(a)

The Collateral Agent shall be obliged to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into any Collateral Document against the Collateral Agent.  The Collateral Agent shall, upon receipt of any written direction pursuant to Section 2.2, exercise the rights and powers vested in it by any Collateral Document with respect to such direction, and the Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted in accordance with such direction.  If the Collateral Agent shall seek directions from any Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to any action under any Collateral Document, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take, or refrain from taking, such action until it shall have received such direction.

(b)

The Collateral Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as with similar property for its own account.  The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder and under the Collateral Documents are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral (for itself and for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not impose any duty upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such powers.  The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers at the direction of the applicable Administrative Agent, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Secured Party or any Loan Party for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

2.4

Resignation and Removal.  

(a)

The Collateral Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Company.  The Collateral Agent may be removed at any time by the Administrative Agents, acting jointly, or the Required Secured Parties, by giving written notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Company.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Administrative Agents, acting jointly, or the Required Secured Parties shall have the right to appoint a successor Collateral Agent.  If no successor Collateral Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days following the notice of resignation or removal, then the retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor Collateral Agent.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Company (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).

(b)

Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Collateral Agent by a successor Collateral Agent, such successor Collateral Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreements and the Collateral Documents.  Promptly after any retiring Collateral




 

8







Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Collateral Agent, the retiring Collateral Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Collateral Agent its rights as Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents and to protect and maintain the Liens held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (including delivery of any Collateral in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent).  After such resignation, the retiring Collateral Agent shall continue to have the benefit of Section 8 as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under this Agreement, the Credit Agreements and the Collateral Documents.  

(c)

If no Person has accepted appointment as a successor Collateral Agent within 30 days following the notice of resignation or removal, the retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Administrative Agents, jointly, shall assume and perform all of the duties of the retiring Collateral Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Administrative Agents or the Required Secured Parties shall appoint a successor Collateral Agent as provided for above.

Section 3.

Priority of Liens

3.1

Lien Subordination.  Notwithstanding the date, manner or order of grant, attachment or perfection of any Junior Lien in respect of any Collateral or of any Senior Lien in respect of any Collateral and notwithstanding any provision of the UCC, any applicable law, any Collateral Document, any alleged or actual defect or deficiency in any of the foregoing or any other circumstance whatsoever, the Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of such Collateral hereby agrees that:

(a)

any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be and shall remain senior and prior to any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral (whether or not such Senior Lien is subordinated to any Lien securing any other obligation); and

(b)

any Junior Lien in respect of such Collateral, regardless of how acquired, whether by grant, statute, operation of law, subrogation or otherwise, shall be junior and subordinate in all respects to any Senior Lien in respect of such Collateral.  

3.2

Prohibition on Contesting Liens.  In respect of any Collateral, the Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of such Collateral agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to:

(a)

contest, or support any other Person in contesting, in any proceeding (including any Insolvency Proceeding), the priority, validity or enforceability of any Senior Lien on such Collateral; or

(b)

demand, request, plead or otherwise assert or claim the benefit of any marshalling, appraisal, valuation or similar right which it may have in respect of such Collateral or the Senior Liens on such Collateral, except to the extent that such rights are expressly granted in this Agreement.

3.3

New Liens.  

(a)

The parties hereto agree that, prior to the payment in full of the Secured Claims, any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party securing any Secured Claim (and which asset is not also subject to a Lien securing all of the Secured Claims in accordance with the priorities set forth herein) shall immediately be released upon demand by any Agent or assigned to the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2.1, and, at all times prior to such release or assignment, the Secured Party to whom such Lien was granted shall be acting as a sub-agent of the Collateral Agent for the sole purpose of perfecting the Lien on such asset.

(b)

Each Loan Party hereby agrees not to grant, or to permit any of its Subsidiaries to grant, except as expressly permitted by either Credit Agreement, as the case may be, any Lien on any of its respective assets securing the Senior Claims or the Junior Claims, as the case may be, to any Person other than the Collateral Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, subject to the priorities set forth in Section 2.1.

3.4

Separate Liens.  Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Collateral Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Junior Claims in respect of any Collateral are fundamentally different from the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral, and the Junior Claims and Senior Claims in respect of any Collateral must be separately classified in any Insolvency Proceeding.  To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is held that, in respect of any Collateral, the Junior Claims and the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Junior Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of any Collateral (with the effect that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Senior Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Secured Parties), the Senior Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of post-petition interest before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral, with the Junior Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the Senior Secured Parties amounts otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Secured Parties).

Section 4.

Exercise of Remedies

4.1

Remedies.

(a)

Prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of any Collateral, whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against any Loan Party, with respect to such Collateral:

(i)

no Junior Secured Party shall (or direct the Collateral Agent to) (A) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies, (B) institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies, including any action of




 

10







foreclosure, contest, protest, (C) object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought by Collateral Agent or any Senior Secured Party or any other exercise of any rights and remedies relating to such Collateral under the Collateral Documents or otherwise, or (D) object to the forbearance by the Senior Secured Parties from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to such Collateral; and

(ii)

the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, shall have the exclusive right to (and the exclusive right to direct the Collateral Agent to) enforce rights, exercise remedies and make determinations regarding release, disposition (including under §363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code) or restrictions with respect to such Collateral without any consultation with, or the consent of, any Junior Secured Party.

(b)

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to any Collateral, the Senior Agent, on behalf of the Senior Secured Parties, in respect of such Collateral may enforce (and direct the Collateral Agent to enforce) the provisions of the Senior Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion.  Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of such Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under any Bankruptcy Law.

(c)

The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of any Collateral agrees that, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral, it will not take or receive any such Collateral or any proceeds of such Collateral in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) with respect to such Collateral.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, prior to the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of any Collateral, the sole right of the Junior Agent and the Junior Secured Parties with respect to such Collateral shall be the right to receive a share of the proceeds thereof pursuant to Section 5.1.

(d)

The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of any Collateral (i) agrees that neither it nor any Junior Secured Party will take any action that would hinder any exercise of remedies undertaken by any Senior Secured Party in respect of such Collateral under the Collateral Documents, including any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition of such Collateral, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, and (ii) hereby waives any and all rights it or any Junior Secured Party may have as a junior creditor or otherwise to object to the manner in which any Senior Secured Party may seek to enforce or collect the Senior Claims or the Liens granted in any of such Collateral.

4.2

Exercise of Remedies as Unsecured Creditors.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Junior Secured Party may exercise its rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Loan Parties in accordance with the terms of the Junior Documents and applicable law.  In the event any Junior Secured Party in respect of any Collateral becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of such Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to any Lien on such Collateral securing any Senior Claim in respect of such Collateral on the same basis and to the same extent as the other Liens on such Collateral securing the Junior Claims are subordinated to those securing the Senior Claims under this Agreement.  Nothing in this




 

11







Agreement modifies any rights or remedies which any Senior Secured Party in respect of any Collateral may have with respect to such Collateral.

Section 5.

Application of Payments; Subrogation

5.1

Proceeds of Collateral.  From and after the receipt by the Collateral Agent of any Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, proceeds of any Collateral received by any party hereto shall be applied to the Secured Claims as follows:

(b)

second, to pay Secured Claims in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Senior Agent and the Collateral Agent;

eighth, to pay all other Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral;

(i)

ninth, to pay interest on and then principal of any portion of the Junior Claims that the Junior Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Junior Secured Party for which the Junior Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Junior Secured Party or the Loan Parties;

(q)

seventeenth, as directed by the Company (subject to applicable laws);

provided, however, that, if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments required to be made in any of clauses first through sixteenth above, the available funds being applied to the Secured Claims specified in any such clause (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Secured Claims ratably, based on the proportion of each Agent’s and each Secured Party’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Secured Claims described in such clause; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Multi-Currency Lenders shall be allocated first to repay Swing Loans until such Loans are paid in full, second to repay Local Loans until such Loans are paid in full and then to repay the Revolving Credit Loans. The order of payment application set forth in clauses (a) through (p) above may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Required Secured Parties without any notice to or consent of or approval by any Loan Party (unless such amendment is of the type described in Section 12.3(iv)) or any other Person that is not a party to the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as the case may be; provided, however, that (i) any such amendment adversely affecting any Agent shall also require the prior written consent of such Agent, (ii) any such amendment not adversely affecting the Multi-Currency Lenders shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Term Loan Agreement) and (iii) any such amendment not adversely affecting the Term Loan Lenders shall only require the consent of the Required Lenders (as defined in the Existing Credit Agreement).

5.2

Proceeds of Non-Collateral.  From and after the receipt by the Collateral Agent of any Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, any payment received by any party to the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, from a Loan Party that does not constitute proceeds of any Collateral shall be applied pursuant to Section 7.15(h) (or other applicable successor provision) of the Existing Credit Agreement or Section 7.15(h) (or other applicable successor provision) of the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable.

5.3

Payments Over.  Unless and until all Secured Claims shall have been paid in full, (a) any payment received by any party hereto at any time in contravention of the Existing Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Agreement or this Agreement and (b) from and after the receipt of any Notice of Actionable Default and prior to the withdrawal of all pending Notices of Actionable Default, any Collateral or proceeds thereof or any payment received by any Secured Party from proceeds of any Collateral shall be segregated and held in trust and forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent for application in accordance with the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable (in the case of clause (a) above), or Section 5.1 (in the case of clause (b) above) in the same form as received, with any necessary




 

13







endorsements or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  The Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for any such Person.  This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

5.4

Subrogation.  The Junior Agent in respect of any Collateral, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, hereby waives any rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any payment hereunder until the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral shall have been paid in full.  Upon payment in full of such Senior Claims, the Junior Secured Parties shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Secured Parties to receive payments or distributions applicable to such Senior Claims.

Section 6.

Insolvency Proceedings

6.1

Voting of Claims.  Until the payment in full of all Senior Claims in respect of any Collateral, the Senior Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, to vote the claim of any Junior Secured Party in respect of such Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding if such Junior Secured Party has not voted its claim on or prior to 10 days before the expiration of the time to vote any such claim.  In the event that Senior Agent exercises such right to vote, no Junior Secured Party shall be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.

6.2

Waivers.  In the event an Insolvency Proceeding shall be commenced by or against any Loan Party, in respect of any part of the Senior Collateral or proceeds thereof or any Senior Lien which may exist thereon, each of the Junior Secured Parties in respect of such Collateral hereby agrees that such Person shall not, until the payment in full of the Senior Claims in respect of such Collateral:

(a)

seek any relief from, or modification of, the automatic stay as provided in §362 of the Bankruptcy Code or seek or accept any form of adequate protection under either or both of §362 and §363 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to the Senior Collateral, except (i) replacement Liens, which Liens at all times shall (A) also secure the Senior Claims and (B) be subordinated to the Senior Liens in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Agreement, and (ii) the accrual or the current payment of interest and out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and other professional advisors, incurred by the Junior Agent (which the Junior Secured Parties agree will constitute adequate protection of their claims and interests);

(b)

oppose or object to any adequate protection sought by or granted to any Senior Secured Parties with respect to the Senior Collateral;

(c)

oppose or object to the use of any Senior Collateral constituting cash collateral by any Loan Party, unless the Senior Secured Parties shall have opposed or objected to such use of such cash collateral;

(d)

oppose or object to any financing with respect to any Loan Party provided under any Bankruptcy Law (regardless of whether any Indebtedness thereunder is senior to the Junior Claims or secured by Liens on the Senior Collateral that are senior in priority to the Junior Liens on such Collateral), unless (i) the Senior Agent or the Senior Secured Parties shall have opposed or objected to such financing or (ii) any Indebtedness thereunder is secured by any Collateral on which the Junior Secured Parties have a first-priority Lien under this Agreement and




 

14







the Liens on such Collateral securing such Indebtedness would be senior in priority to such first-priority Liens of the Junior Secured Parties;

(e)

object to (i) the amount of the Senior Claims allowed or permitted to be asserted under any Bankruptcy Law or (ii) the extent to which the Senior Claims are deemed secured claims, including under §506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code;

(f)

oppose or object to any protection provided to the Senior Secured Parties, including any form of adequate protection under §362 or §363 of the Bankruptcy Code and the payment of amounts equal to interest and expenses allowed under §506(b) and (c) of the Bankruptcy Code to any Senior Secured Parties; or

(g)

object to the treatment of the Senior Claims under a chapter 11 plan of reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code or similar plan or reorganization or arrangement under any other applicable Insolvency Proceeding, except on the grounds that the present value of all property received by the Senior Secured Parties exceeds the amount of the claims of the Senior Secured Parties in such Insolvency Proceeding.

6.3

No Waiver by Senior Secured Parties.  Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit any Senior Secured Party from, with respect to the Senior Collateral, objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding (or otherwise) to any action taken by any Junior Secured Party, including the seeking by such Junior Secured Party of adequate protection with respect to such Collateral or the asserting by such Junior Secured Party of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Documents (or otherwise) with respect to such Collateral.

Indemnification.  Each Secured Party agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Company), from and against such Secured Party’s ratable share of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial




 

15







and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, such Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents; provided, however, that no Secured Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or such Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  

8.2

Expenses.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Secured Party agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Collateral Documents, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Company or another Loan Party.

Section 9.

Release of Collateral

9.1

At the request of the Company, the Collateral Agent shall, and each of the Administrative Agents and the Secured Parties hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent (without any further notice or consent to or of any Secured Party) to, promptly release (or, in the case of clause (b) below, release or subordinate as required by the holders of any Lien specified thereunder) any Lien held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against any of the following:

(a)

all of the Collateral, and all Loan Parties, upon receipt of (i) a written notice from each of the Administrative Agents that the Payment Obligations (as defined in each Credit Agreement) have been paid in full and (ii) a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Company that (A) all Designated Eligible Obligations have been paid in full or have been Undesignated prior to or concurrently with the delivery of such certificate and (B) all other Secured Claims, if any, then due and payable have been paid in full; provided, however, that, if the Collateral Agent has received a notice to the contrary from any Secured Party with respect to its Secured Claims, such notice shall also have been withdrawn;

(b)

any part of the Collateral that is subject to a Lien permitted by Sections 11.3(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (o) or (p) of the Credit Agreements;

(c)

any part of the Collateral sold or disposed of by a Loan Party if such sale or disposition is permitted by the Credit Agreements (or pursuant to a valid waiver or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by the Credit Agreements); and

any Pledged Collateral that has been cancelled, replaced or repaid in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreements.

9.2

Each of the Administrative Agents and the Secured Parties hereby authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to release (or subordinate) Liens pursuant to this Section 9 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release

(or subordination).  Each of the Agents and the Secured Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Loan Parties may use the Collateral to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreements.  Each Administrative Agent hereby agrees to give the notice referred to in Section 9.1(a)(i) when the Payment Obligations (as defined in each Credit Agreement), as applicable, have been paid in full.

Section 10.

Designated Eligible Obligations  

10.1

Designation/Revocation.  From time to time, as long as (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) in the case of any Multi-Currency Designated Obligation, after giving effect to the designation thereof and any Designated Eligible Obligations Reserve to be established with respect thereto, the Available Multi-Currency Commitment is equal to or greater than zero, the Company may designate any obligation of the type defined as “Designated Eligible Obligations” in either Credit Agreement, and solely to the extent permitted therein, to be secured by the Collateral as either Multi-Currency Eligible Obligations or Term Loan Eligible Obligations (or change such designation without notice to or consent of any holder of such Designated Eligible Obligations) by delivery to the Collateral Agent (with a copy to each Administrative Agent) of a certificate of a Responsible Officer, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A or such other form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agents (the “Certificate of Designation/Revocation”); provided, however, that a Person providing or maintaining Designated Eligible Obligations described in clauses (iii) or (iv) of the definition thereof that is not a Multicurrency Lender, a Term Loan Lender or an Affiliate of a Multicurrency Lender or a Term Loan Lender shall be reasonably acceptable to the Multi-Currency Administrative Agent or the Term Loan Administrative Agent, as applicable, as the administrative agent for the Secured Parties whose Collateral will secure such Designated Eligible Obligations on a first-priority basis.  The Company may revoke such designation at any time by delivering to the Collateral Agent a subsequent Certificate of Designation/Revocation (with a copy to each Administrative Agent) and, immediately upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such certificate, without notice to or consent of any holder of such Designated Eligible Obligation or any other Secured Claim, the applicable Designated Eligible Obligation shall become Undesignated and shall no longer constitute a “Designated Eligible Obligation,” a “Secured Obligation” or a “Secured Claim” for any purpose under any Collateral Document, whether or not any amounts or commitments are then outstanding in respect thereof and whether or not any other Secured Claims are being paid in full at such time.  The Collateral Agent shall maintain a copy of each Certificate of Designation/Revocation received by it and a record of designations, revocations and the names and addresses of the representatives of the holders of the Designated Eligible Obligations stated therein, which record shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Secured Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in such record as a holder of Designated Eligible Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until such Designated Eligible Obligations are Undesignated.  Upon request and at the expense of the Company or any Secured Party, the Collateral Agent shall provide a copy of such record to the Company or such Secured Party.

10.2

Rights of Eligible Obligations Holders.  The benefit of the Loan Documents and of the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Collateral shall extend to and be available in respect of any Secured Claim arising under any Designated Eligible Obligation solely on the condition and understanding, as among the Agents and all Secured Parties, that (a) the Designated Eligible Obligations shall be entitled to the benefit of the Loan Documents and the Collateral to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to such extent the Agents shall hold, and have the right and power to act with respect to, the




 

17







Guaranty and the Collateral on behalf of and as agent for the holders of the Designated Eligible Obligations, but the Agents are otherwise acting solely as agents for the applicable Lenders and Issuing Lenders and shall have no fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, duty of care, duty of disclosure or other obligation whatsoever to any holder of Designated Eligible Obligations, (b) all matters, acts and omissions relating in any manner to the Guaranty, the Collateral, or the omission, creation, perfection, priority, abandonment or release of any Lien on any asset of any Loan Party, shall be governed solely by the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no separate Lien, right, power or remedy with respect to the Loan Parties or any of their assets shall arise or exist in favor of any Secured Party under any separate instrument or agreement or in respect of any Designated Eligible Obligation, (c) each Secured Party shall be bound by all actions taken or omitted, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (including release of any or all of the Collateral pursuant to Section 9 and any amendments or waivers of any Loan Documents in accordance with Section 14.1 (or other applicable successor provision) of each Credit Agreement) and the other Loan Documents, by the applicable Agent and, to the extent required by the applicable Credit Agreement, the Required Lenders (as defined thereunder) (or such lesser percentage of the applicable Lenders required to direct, or consent to, such action as set forth herein or therein), each of whom shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion and exclusively in its own interest given its own Multi-Currency Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as the case may be, and its own interest in the Payment Obligations (as defined in the applicable Credit Agreement) owing to it arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, without any duty or liability to any other Secured Party or as to any Designated Eligible Obligation and without regard to whether any Designated Eligible Obligation remains outstanding or is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral or becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, (d) no holder of Designated Eligible Obligations and no other Secured Party (except the Agents and the Lenders to the extent set forth in this Agreement) shall have any right to be notified of, or to direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including any release or amendment referred to above) and (e) no holder of any Designated Eligible Obligation shall exercise any right of setoff, banker’s lien or similar right with respect to the Collateral without the consent of the Administrative Agents.

11.2

The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, acknowledges that it and each Junior Secured Party has, independently and without reliance on the Senior Agent or any Senior Secured Party, and based on documents and information deemed by it appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement, the Junior Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and agrees that it will continue to make its own credit decision in taking or not taking any action under the Junior Documents or this Agreement.

(c)

no Senior Secured Party shall have any duty to any Junior Secured Party to act or refrain from acting in a manner which allows, or results in, the occurrence or continuance of an event of default or default under any agreements with any Loan Party (including the Junior Documents), regardless of any knowledge thereof which they may have or be charged with.

11.4

No Waiver of Lien Priorities.

(a)

No right of any Senior Secured Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of any Loan Party or by any act or failure to act by any Senior Secured Party, or by any noncompliance by any Person with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Agreement, any of the Senior Documents or any of the Junior Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any Senior Secured Party may have or be otherwise charged with.

(b)

Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a) (except as set forth in any Loan Document), each Senior Secured Party, may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Junior Secured Party, without incurring any liability to any Junior Secured Party and without impairing or releasing the lien priorities and other benefits provided in this Agreement (even if any right of subrogation or other right or remedy of any Junior Secured Party is affected, impaired or extinguished thereby) do any one or more of the following:

(c)

The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, also agrees that no Senior Secured Party shall have any duty or liability to any Junior Secured Party, and the Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, hereby waives all claims against each Senior Secured Party arising out of any and all actions which any Senior Secured Party may take or permit or omit to take with respect to: (i) the Senior Documents, (ii) the collection of the Senior Claims, (iii) the foreclosure upon, or sale, liquidation or other disposition of, the Senior Collateral, (iv) the release of any Lien in respect of any Senior Collateral, or (v) the maintenance or preservation of the Senior Collateral, the Senior Claims or otherwise.

11.5

Obligations Unconditional.  All rights, interests, agreements and obligations hereunder of the Senior Agent and the Senior Secured Parties in respect of any Collateral and the Junior Agent and the Junior Secured Parties in respect of such Collateral shall remain in full force and effect regardless of:

(d)

the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of any Loan Party; or




 

20

any other circumstances which otherwise might constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party in respect of any Secured Claim or of any Junior Secured Party in respect of this Agreement.

11.6

Attorney-in-Fact.  The Junior Agent, on behalf of each Junior Secured Party, in respect of any Collateral hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Senior Agent in respect of such Collateral and any officer or agent (including the Collateral Agent) of such Senior Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Junior Agent or such holder or in such Senior Agent’s own name, from time to time in such Senior Agent’s discretion, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including any financing statements, endorsements or other instruments or transfer or release.  Notwithstanding the grant of the foregoing power of attorney, nothing in this Section 11.6 is intended to in any way relieve any Loan Party of its obligations to comply with requirements of law or applicable obligations with respect to the release of Collateral under any Collateral Document.

11.7

Consent of Loan Parties.  Each Loan Party hereby consents to the provisions of this Agreement and the intercreditor arrangements provided for herein and agrees that the obligations of the Loan Parties under any Senior Document, Junior Document, Loan Document or other Collateral Document shall not in any way be diminished or otherwise affected by such provisions or arrangements.  All references to any Loan Party shall include reference to such Loan Party as a debtor and debtor in possession and any receiver or trustee for such Loan  Party in any Insolvency Proceeding.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees that, if, pursuant to Section 10.10 (Additional Guaranties) (or other applicable successor provision) of the Existing Credit Agreement or the Term Loan Agreement, as applicable, the Company shall be required to cause any Subsidiary that is not a Loan Party to become a Loan Party, or if for any reason the Company desires any such Subsidiary to become a Loan Party, such Subsidiary shall execute and deliver to the Collateral Agent an Intercreditor Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Intercreditor Supplement) attached hereto and shall thereafter for all purposes be a party hereto and have the same rights, benefits and obligations as a Loan Party party hereto on the Closing Date.

Section 12.

12.2

Continuing Nature.  This Agreement shall continue to be effective until the payment in full of all Secured Claims.  This is a continuing agreement of lien subordination and the Senior Secured Parties may continue, at any time and without notice to any Junior Secured Party, to extend credit and other financial accommodations and lend monies constituting Senior Claims on the faith hereof.  The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding.

12.3

Amendments; Waivers.  Except as set forth in Section 5.1, no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to be made unless the same (i) shall be in writing signed by each Agent and (ii) shall have been

approved by the Required Secured Parties (other than any amendments or modifications requested by any successor Collateral Agent not adversely affecting the Secured Parties) pursuant to Section 14.1 of each Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the consent of any Loan Party shall not be required for amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement, except that the Company’s consent shall be required for those that (i) affect any obligation or right of any Loan Party hereunder or that would impose any additional obligations on any Loan Party (including such changes under Section 10 or this Section 12.3), (ii) change the ability of any Collateral Agent to release Collateral pursuant to Section 9, (iii) change the rights of the Loan Parties to make payments in respect of any Secured Claims (except with respect to proceeds of Collateral while a Notice of Actionable Default is pending) or (iv) adversely affect the rights of the holders of Multi-Currency Eligible Obligations in relation to those of the Multi-Currency Lenders or the rights of the holders of Term Loan Eligible Obligations in relation to those of the Term Loan Lenders.  In the case of a waiver of any provision of this Agreement, such waiver shall be effective only with respect to the specific instance involved and shall in no way impair the rights of the parties making such waiver or the obligations of the other parties in any other respect or at any other time.  The Administrative Agents shall notify the Company of any amendment, modification or waiver effected hereunder; provided, however, that the failure of any Administrative Agent to deliver such notice shall not render any such amendment, modification or waiver ineffective.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the consent of any holder of any Designated Eligible Obligation shall not be required for amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions of this Agreement to which the Company has consented, whether or not such amendments, modifications or waivers adversely affect the rights of such holder.

12.4

Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts.  The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.

(b)

Each party hereto hereby irrevocably consents to the service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and documents in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the mailing (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) or delivering of a copy of such process to such party at its address specified in Section 12.5 (Notices).  Each party hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

(c)

Nothing contained in this Section 12.4 shall affect the right of any Agent or any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company or any other Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.
