   Section 2.02.   Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) The
Borrowing, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A)
telephone, or (B) a Loan Notice; provided that any telephonic notice must be
confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Loan Notice.
Each such Loan Notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later
than 11:00 a.m. (i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or of any
conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans, and (ii) on the
requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans. Each Borrowing of,
conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each
Borrowing of or conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice
(whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is
requesting a Borrowing, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing,
conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued,
(iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be
converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with
respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Loan
Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion
or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, a
one (1) month Eurodollar Rate Loan. Any such automatic conversion to one (1)
month Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate
Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation
of Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Loan Notice, but fails to specify an
Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one
month.

-30-

 

 

(b)   Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage of the
applicable Loans (provided, however, that in the case of Borrowings of
Eurodollar Loans, such notice shall be given to each Lender not later than 11:00
a.m. two Business Days prior to the requested date of such Borrowing), and if no
timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case
of a Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth
in Sections 4.01 and 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so
received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the
Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the
books of BMO with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds,
in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably
acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

 

(c)   Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be
continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Rate Loan. During the existence of a Default, the Required Lenders
may elect not to permit any Loans to be made as, converted to or continued as
Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(d)   The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar
Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate
Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and
the Lenders of any change in BMO’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate
promptly following the public announcement of such change.

 

(e)   After giving effect to the Borrowing, all conversions of Loans from one
Type to the other, and all continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall
not be more than six Interest Periods in effect with respect to the Loans.

   Section 2.03.   Intentionally Omitted.

-31-

 

 

   Section 2.04.   Prepayments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans
in whole or in part without premium (except as set forth below) or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not
later than 11:00 a.m. (A) two Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans;
(ii) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a
whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; or, if less, the entire principal
amount thereof then outstanding, and (iii) the Borrower shall pay a prepayment
premium equal to (A) 3% of each prepayment made on or before August 26, 2014,
(B) 2% of each prepayment made after August 26, 2014, and on or before
August 26, 2015, and (C) 1% of each  prepayment made after August 26, 2015, and
on or before August 26, 2016. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount
of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar
Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each
such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make
such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan
shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together
with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05, if any. Subject
to Section 2.18, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the
Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages.

   Section 2.05.   Reserved.

   Section 2.06.   Reserved.

   Section 2.07.   Reserved.

   Section 2.08.   Repayment of Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders
on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such
date.

   Section 2.09.   Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b)
below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to
the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the applicable Eurodollar Rate
margin identified in the definition of Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the
applicable borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
applicable Base Rate margin identified in the definition of Applicable Rate. 

(b)   (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid within five (5)
days after the date when due (other than at the Maturity Date, whether at stated
maturity or by acceleration, as to which such five (5) day period shall not
apply), such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest
rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.

-32-

 

 

(ii)   If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower
under any Loan Document is not paid within five (5) days after the date when due
(other than at the Maturity Date, whether at stated maturity or by acceleration,
as to which such five (5) day period shall not apply), then upon the request of
the Required Lenders, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

 

(iii)   Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default
exists, the Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all
outstanding Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at
all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

 

(iv)   Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on
past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

(c)   Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

   Section 2.10.   Reserved.

   Section 2.11.   Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of
interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference
to the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days,
as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and
interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed
(which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if
computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for
the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any
portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided
that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject
to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination by the
Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

   Section 2.12.   Evidence of Debt. The Credit Extensions made by each Lender
shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender
and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business. The accounts
or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by
the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure
to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise
affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with
respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the
Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error. Upon the
request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or
records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the
date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with
respect thereto.

-33-

 

 

   Section 2.13.   Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback. 

(a)   General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without
condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower
hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the
respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s
Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on
the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to
each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided
herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such
Lender’s Lending Office and if such payments by Borrower are made to
Administrative Agent by 1:00 p.m., the Administrative Agent will distribute such
funds to Lenders specified in this Section 2.13(a) on that same Business Day.
All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be
deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day (and shall be distributed to
the Lenders in accordance with this Section 2.13(a) on such next succeeding
Business Day) and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If
any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a
Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such
extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case
may be.

(b)   (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the
proposed date of the Borrowing of Loans that such Lender will not make available
to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of the Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available
on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such
event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing
available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand
such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon,
for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the
Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at
(A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in
accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any
administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the case of a
payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate
Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the
Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by
the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable
Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute
such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. Any payment by the Borrower shall
be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that
shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.

-34-

 

 

(ii)   Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not
in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to
the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such
Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from
and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the
date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

(c)   Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to
the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as
provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not
made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the
conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in Article IV are not
satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative
Agent shall promptly return such funds (in like funds as received from such
Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

 

(d)   Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder
to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and
not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment
under Section 10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any
other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its
Loan or to make its payment under Section 10.04(c).

 

(e)   Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to
obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute
a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for
any Loan in any particular place or manner.

 

(f)   No Reborrowing. No amount of the Loans that is paid or prepaid may be
reborrowed.

-35-

 

 

   Section 2.14.   Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by
exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in
respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Loans made by it,
resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate
amount of such Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than
its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and
(b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of the other
Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the
benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in
accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Loans and other amounts owing them, provided that: 

(i)   if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or
subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the
extent of such recovery, without interest; and

 

(ii)   the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any
payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising
from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a
Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any
of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the
Borrower or any Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section
shall apply).

Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively
do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against Borrower rights of setoff and
counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were
a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation.

   Section 2.15.   Reserved.

   Section 2.16.   Increase in Commitments.

(a)   Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may
from time to time request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments by an amount
(for all such requests, in the aggregate) not exceeding $50,000,000; provided
that (I) any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000, and (II) the Borrower may make a maximum of three (3) such requests.
At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the
Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within which each Lender is
requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than ten Business Days
from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders). Any increase of the
Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall be subject to the
agreement of one or more Lenders or Eligible Assignees (who may or may not then
be a Lender hereunder) to provide such increased Commitments pursuant to the
terms hereof.

-36-

 

 

(b)   Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative
Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its
Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than
its Applicable Percentage of such requested increase. Any Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to increase its
Commitment.

 

(c)   Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’
responses to each request made hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase and subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, the
Borrower and/or BMO may also invite additional Eligible Assignees to become
Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower, Administrative Agent and their respective counsel.
Arranger shall use its best efforts to procure such additional or increased
Commitments, and facilitate such increase in the Aggregate Commitments, and
Borrower shall reasonably cooperate with Arranger to obtain new Commitments to
support any such increase in the Commitments, provided that Borrower will
coordinate all such efforts (including, without limitation, any communications
(written, electronic or oral) with any prospective lending source) through the
Arranger. In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional
Commitment.

 

(d)   Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased
in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall
determine the effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final
allocation of such increase. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such increase and the
Increase Effective Date.

 

(e)   Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate
of Borrower dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for
each Lender) signed by a Responsible Officer (i) certifying and attaching the
resolutions adopted by Borrower approving or consenting to such increase, and
(ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the
representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan
Documents are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the
Increase Effective Date, except (1) to the extent that such representations and
warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and (2) except
that for purposes of this Section 2.16, (x) the representations and warranties
contained in subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Section 5.05 shall be deemed to
refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b),
respectively, of Section 6.01; and (y) the representations and warranties
contained in Section 5.13(a) shall be deemed to refer to the most recent update
to Schedule 5.13(a) furnished pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(ii) and shall be true
and correct in all material respects as of the effective date of such update,
(z) the representations and warranties contained in the first and second
sentences of Section 5.21 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent update to
Schedule 5.21 furnished pursuant to Section 6.02(a)(i), and shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the effective date of such update, and
(B) no Default or Event of Default exists. The Applicable Percentages of the
Lenders shall be recalculated concurrently with the effectiveness of any
increase in the Aggregate pursuant to this Section 2.16.

-37-

 

 

(f)   Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 10.01 to the contrary. Without limiting the foregoing, an increase in
Aggregate Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.16 and any amendments to this
Agreement made to evidence such increase shall not require the consent of any
Lender not participating in such increase.

   Section 2.17.   Reserved.

   Section 2.18.   Defaulting Lenders.

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

   (i)   Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in Section 10.01.

   (ii)   Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the
Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall
be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative
Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment of any
amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result
of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement;
third, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts
owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result
of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement,
provided that if an Event of Default exists, such payment shall be applied in
accordance with Section 8.03; and fourth, to that Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and
(y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans
of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the
payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or
other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied to pay
amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by
that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

-38-

 

 

(b)   Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree
in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be
deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the
parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and
subject to any conditions set forth therein that Lender will, to the extent
applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be
necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in
accordance with their applicable Applicable Percentages, whereupon that Lender
will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that except to the extent
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from
Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of
any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Article III

Taxes, Yield Protection and Illegality

   Section 3.01.   Taxes.

(a)   Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of
Taxes. (i) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the
Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent
permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or
withholding for any Indemnified Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Taxes, such Taxes
shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, taking account the
information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

 

(ii)   If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by
applicable Law to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States
federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (A) the
Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by
the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and
documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, and (C)
to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of
Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as
necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required
deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or
deduction been made.

 

(b)   Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.

-39-

 

 

(c)   Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) or (b) above, the Borrower shall, and does hereby, indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and shall make payment in respect thereof
within 10 days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or
attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses
arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. If the Borrower determines in its good faith judgment that a
reasonable basis exists for contesting an Indemnified Tax, the Administrative
Agent and each Lender shall reasonably cooperate, at no cost or expense to
Administrative Agent or Lender, with the Borrower in challenging such
Indemnified Tax; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender
shall be required to make available its Tax returns (or any other information
relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other
Person. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby, indemnify the Administrative
Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written
demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause (ii) of this
subsection; provided that, such Lender shall indemnify the Borrower to the
extent of any payment the Borrower makes to the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this sentence. Any claim against the Borrower pursuant to this Section must be
made within 180 days of the payment by the Administrative Agent or the Lender to
which such claim relates and must provide reasonable detail regarding the amount
of the claim and the reason thereof. A reasonably detailed certificate as to the
amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its
own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(ii)   Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each
Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after written
demand therefor, against any and all Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender
and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result
of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy,
inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such
Lender to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e). A
reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any
amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in
this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the
Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a
Lender the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment,
satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

-40-

 

 

(d)   Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable, after any payment of Taxes
by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as
provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may
be, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to
report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

 

(e)   Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation. (i) Each Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by
applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation
prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction
and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not
payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes,
(B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such
Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of,
applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s
status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

 

(ii)   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is
resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A)   any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or
such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine
whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements; and

 

(B)   each Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or
prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this
Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to
do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(I)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party and/or certifying non-U.S. status,

 

(II)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

 

(III)   executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all
required supporting documentation,

-41-

 

 

(IV)   in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption
for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender
is not (A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section
881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in
section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and
(y) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, or

 

(V)   to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed
originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or
Exhibit I-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each
beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a
partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender
are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a
U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4 on
behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; or

 

(VI)   executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal
withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be
prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

 

(iii)   Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not
be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending
Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes
from amounts payable to such Lender.

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

-42-

 

 

(f)   Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no
time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Lender. If the Administrative Agent any Lender determines, in good faith, that
it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the
Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise
to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest
(other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with
respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant
Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event
the Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
subsection, in no event will the Administrative Agent or any Lender be required
to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this subsection the payment of
which would place the Administrative Agent or any Lender in a less favorable net
after-Tax position than such Person would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This subsection shall not be construed
to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax
returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.

   Section 3.02.   Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it
unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful,
for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans
whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to
determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any
Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of
such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London
interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through
the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue
Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans
shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such
Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is
determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the
interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to
avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until
such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of
such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base
Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be
determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Eurodollar Rate
component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period
therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such

-43-

 

 

Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice
asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates
based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the period
of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without
reference to the Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative is
advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender
to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any
such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on
the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts
referenced pursuant to Section 3.05, if any.

   Section 3.03.   Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders
determine in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a
conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being
offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable
amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Base Rate for any
requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in
connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar
Base Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed
Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify
the Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to
make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended (to the extent of the
affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a
determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Eurodollar Rate
component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until
the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending
request for a Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans suspended (to the extent of the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans or Interest
Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a
request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

   Section 3.04.   Increased Costs.

(a)   Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

 

(i)   impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with
or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender
(except any reserve requirement reflected in the Eurodollar Rate);

 

(ii)   subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified
Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate
of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

-44-

 

 

(iii)   impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such
Lender or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any
such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender), or to reduce the amount of
any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal,
interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower
will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered; provided
that the Borrower shall not be liable to any Lender for costs incurred more than
one hundred eighty (180) days prior to receipt by the Borrower of the
certificate referred to in clause (c) below from such Lender.

(b)   Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law
affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s
holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements or liquidity has or
would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or
on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of
this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender,
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company would
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect
to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time, to the extent that
such reduction in rate of return is not reflected in the Base Rate or the
Eurodollar Rate, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered; provided that the Borrower shall not be liable to any
Lender for costs incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to
receipt by the Borrower of the certificate referred to in clause (c) below from
such Lender. Each Lender shall allocate such cost increases among its customers
in good faith and on an equitable basis.

 

(c)   Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth
the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding
company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this
Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such
certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)   Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or
reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender
notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs
or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor
(except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or
reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be
extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

-45-

 

 

   Section 3.05.   Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly
compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or
expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a)   any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than
a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for
such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration,
or otherwise);

 

(b)   any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or

 

(c)   any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day
of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower
pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from
the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or
from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.
The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such
Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under
this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar
Rate Loan made by it at the Eurodollar Base Rate used in determining the
Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the
London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable
period, whether or not such Eurodollar Rate Loan was in fact so funded.

   Section 3.06.   Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a)   Designation of a Different Lending Office. Each Lender may make any Credit
Extension to the Borrower through any Lending Office, provided that the exercise
of this option shall not affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the
Credit Extension in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If any Lender
requests compensation under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any
additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of
any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to
Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign
its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need
for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case,
would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay
all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any
such designation or assignment.

-46-

 

 

(b)   Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under
Sections 3.04 or 3.05, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional
amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if a Lender gives notice under Section 3.02, the
Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

   Section 3.07.   Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this
Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of
all other Obligations hereunder, and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

Article IV

all reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative

extent invoiced to Borrower prior to or on the Closing Date.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of the last paragraph of
Section 9.03, for purposes of determining compliance with the conditions
specified in this Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall
be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with,
each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved
by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date
specifying its objection thereto.

   Section 4.02.   Conditions to all Credit Extensions. The obligation of each
Lender to honor any Request for Credit Extension (other than a Loan Notice
requesting only a conversion of Loans to the other Type, or a continuation of
Loans) is subject to the following conditions precedent:

(c), to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

   Section 5.02.   Authorization; No Contravention. The execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower of each Loan Document to which Borrower is party, have
been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other organizational action,

or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’
rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific
performance or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court

thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and Borrower shall not have rights as a
third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions.

   Section 9.02.   Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the
financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate
thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and
without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

   Section 9.03.   Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not
have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent:

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

 

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

-73-

 

 

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

The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken
by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of
its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice
describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or
a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent.

   Section 9.04.   Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying
upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document
or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website
posting or other distribution) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person,
and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be
fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume
that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the
making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel
(who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts
selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

-74-

 

 

   Section 9.05.   Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform
any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under
any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by
the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

   Section 9.06.   Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.
The Administrative Agent will endeavor to give Borrower advance notice of its
intention to resign. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the
Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States,
or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such
successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent
gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on
behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the
qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such
appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be
made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to
each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the
acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such
successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and
obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already
discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable
to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such
successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent,
its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative
Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

   Section 9.07.   Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and
based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem
appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action
under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

   Section 9.08.   No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunner(s), Arranger(s), Documentation Agent(s),
Syndication Agent(s) or other titles as necessary listed on the cover page
hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

   Section 9.09.   Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial
proceeding relative to the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on
the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise;

(a)   to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and
interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that
are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent under Section 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding;
and(b)   to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Section 10.04.

-76-

 

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

   Section 9.10.   Release of Subsidiary Guarantors. The Lenders irrevocably
authorize the Administrative Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor to the
extent such release is requested by Borrower in accordance the provisions set
forth in Section 6.12(c) hereof and upon the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in such Section 6.12(c) (as reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent). Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to grant releases
pursuant to this Section 9.10. Further, the Administrative Agent is hereby
authorized by the Lenders, upon the request of Borrower, to execute and deliver
to Borrower a document (in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative
Agent) evidencing such release.

   Section 10.01.   Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by
the Borrower therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the
Required Lenders and the Borrower and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent,
and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance

this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver
or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each
affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other
than Defaulting Lenders), except that any waiver, amendment or modification
requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms
affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall

hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail, FpML messaging, and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to
procedures approved by the Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing

willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event
shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any
other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive

may change its address, facsimile, or telephone number for notices and other
communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other
Lender may change its address, facsimile, or telephone number for notices and
other communications hereunder by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative

compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and
state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made

right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

-80-

 

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the

Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising
setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of

whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto in all cases whether or not caused by or
arising in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole
negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim
brought by the Borrower against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such
Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the
Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such

arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other
Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds
thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for
any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such Indemnitee
through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems
in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the

invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent
or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or
otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part
thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in
full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had
not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from

conditions:

(i)   Minimum Amounts. (A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining
amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to
it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

 

(B)   in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade
Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 (and in integral multiples of $1,000,000
in excess thereof) unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents
(each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group and
concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible
Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be
treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such minimum
amount has been met.

 

(ii)   Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned;

 

(iii)   Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment,
except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in
addition:

-84-

 

 

(A)   the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld)
shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
at the time of such assignment; or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an
Affiliate of a Lender, or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be
deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto
by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after having received notice thereof; and

 

(B)   the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a
Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund
with respect to such Lender.

 

(iv)   Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together
with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500; provided,
however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to
waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an
Administrative Questionnaire.

 

(v)   No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in
this clause (B), (C) to a natural person, or (D) to a competitor of the Borrower
listed on Schedule 10.06(b)(v) attached hereto, as such schedule may be updated
from time to time as approved by the Administrative Agent.

 

(vi)   Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee
of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender
hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire its full pro rata share
of all Loans in accordance with its applicable Applicable Percentage.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and
obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under
applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then
the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all
purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

-85-

 

 

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment
and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the
interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and
Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue
to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04 with
respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such
assignment. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and
deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of
rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
subsection (d) of this Section.

(c)   Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax
purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each
Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender
hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the
contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register
information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any
Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by
the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)   Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any
of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or
a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement
(including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it);
provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties
hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement.

-86-

 

 

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to
enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may
provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree
to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the lettered items
of the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to
subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall
be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent
as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to
subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant
also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a
Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though
it were a Lender.

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as
a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters
the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participants interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a
Participant Register.

(e)   Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled
to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it
were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the
Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

 

(f)   Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

-87-

 

 

   Section 10.07.   Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality
of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed
(a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners,
directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives
solely in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents (it being
understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of
the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such
Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory
authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory
authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to
the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or
similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement
containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to
(i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any
Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c) or (ii) any
actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative
transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent
of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly
available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes
available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective
Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For
purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the
Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of
their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to
disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of
information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof,
all such information shall be deemed to be confidential unless the Borrower or
such Subsidiary has clearly and conspicuously marked such information as
“PUBLIC” in accordance with Section 6.02 hereof. Any Person required to maintain
the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower
or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures
regarding the use of material non-public information and (c) it will handle such
material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including
United States federal and state securities Laws.

-88-

 

 

   Section 10.08.   Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby
authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and
other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any
such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or
not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or
unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the
branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness;
provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such
right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to
the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the
provisions of Section 2.18 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by
such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting
Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which
it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their
respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and
remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided
that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such
setoff and application.

   Section 10.09.   Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid
under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious
interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative
Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if
it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining
whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative
Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent
permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary
prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and
spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the
contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

   Section 10.10.   Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may
be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different
counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when
taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other
Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the
subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except
as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall
have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent
shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed
counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other
electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed
counterpart of this Agreement.

-89-

 

 

   Section 10.11.   Survival of Representations and Warranties. All
representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or
other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or
therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such
representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full
force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall
remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

   Section 10.12.   Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the
legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby
and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic
effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in
this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief
Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agents, then such
provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

   Section 10.13.   Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount
to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, or if any
other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace
a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and
effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such
Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject
to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all
of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related
Loan Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:

(a)   the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee specified in Section 10.06(b);

 

(b)   such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in
the case of all other amounts), it being agreed that no prepayment fee shall be
payable in connection with any such payment;

-90-

 

 

(c)   in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and

 

(d)   such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation
cease to apply.

   Section 10.14.   Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

(a)   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the law of the state of new york pursuant to Section 5-1401 of
the General Obligations Laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to
New York’s principles of conflicts of law).

 

(b)   Submission to Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally
submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the
courts of the State of New York sitting in New York county and of the United
States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate
court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this agreement or any other loan document, or for recognition or enforcement
of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, in such federal court. Each of the parties 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. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other loan document shall
affect any right that the administrative agent or any lender may otherwise have
to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other loan
document against any Borrower or its properties in the courts of any
jurisdiction.

 

(c)   Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any other loan document in any court referred
to in paragraph (b) of this section. Each of the parties hereto hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.

-91-

 

 

(d)   Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of
process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this
agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any
other manner permitted by applicable law.

   Section 10.15.   Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party hereto hereby irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have
to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or any other loan document or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory). Each party hereto (a) certifies that no representative, agent or
attorney of any other person has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such
other person would not, in the event of litigation, seek to enforce the
foregoing waiver and (b) acknowledges that it and the other parties hereto have
been induced to enter into this agreement and the other loan documents by, among
other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this section.

   Section 10.16.   No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with
all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection
with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan
Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its
Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the arranging and other services
regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower and its
Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Arranger, on
the other hand, (B) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting,
regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the
Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks
and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and the Arranger each is and has
been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by
the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an
advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any
other Person and (B) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth
herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (iii) the Administrative Agent, the
Arranger and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of
transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and
its Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Arranger has any
obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases
any claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and the Arranger
with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in
connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.

-92-

 

 

   Section 10.17.   Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other
Documents. The words “execute,” “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of
like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation
Assignment and Assumptions, amendments or other modifications, Committed Loan
Notices, Swing Line Loan Notices, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and
contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative
Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of
the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be,
to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal
Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State
Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on

contained herein to the contrary the Administrative Agent is under no obligation
to agree to accept electronic signatures in any form or in any format unless

by it.

   Section 10.18.   USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT
Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)
hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT
Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. The
Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Administrative
Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations
under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and
regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

   Section 10.19.   Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan
Documents.

   Section 10.20.   Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other Loan
Documents represent the final agreement among the parties and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral
agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements among the
parties.

   Section 10.21.   Release of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of Borrower. Each of
the Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto is hereby
released as a Borrower under the Original Credit Agreement, the Notes issued
thereunder and the other loan documents under the Original Credit Agreement, and
such Person shall have no liability as a borrower or obligor under this
Agreement unless such Person becomes or is required to become a Subsidiary
Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.12 hereof. Nothing in this Section 10.21 shall
release any such Person in its capacity as a Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent
such Person becomes or is required to become a Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to

Form of Amended and Restated Note

_______________, 2014

For Value Received, the undersigned (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to
_____________________ or registered assigns (the “Lender”), in accordance with
the provisions of the Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the principal amount
of the Loan made by the Lender to the Borrower under that certain Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 29, 2014 (as amended, restated,
extended, supplemented or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the
“Agreement;” the terms defined therein being used herein as therein defined),
among the Borrower, the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and Bank of
Montreal, as Administrative Agent.

The Borrower promises to pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan
from the date of such Loan until such principal amount is paid in full, at such
interest rates and at such times as provided in the Agreement. All payments of
principal and interest shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lender in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office. If any amount is not paid in full when due hereunder, such
unpaid amount shall bear interest, to be paid upon demand, from the due date
thereof until the date of actual payment (and before as well as after judgment)
computed at the per annum rate set forth in the Agreement.

This Amended and Restated Note (this “Note”) is referred to in the Agreement, is
entitled to the benefits thereof and may be prepaid in whole or in part subject
to the terms and conditions provided therein. The Borrower may not reborrow any
portion of the Loan once repaid. Upon the occurrence and continuation of one or
more of the Events of Default specified in the Agreement, all amounts then
remaining unpaid on this Note shall become, or may be declared to be,
immediately due and payable all as provided in the Agreement. The Loan made by
the Lender shall be evidenced by one or more loan accounts or records maintained
by the Lender in the ordinary course of business. The Lender may also attach
schedules to this Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its
Loan and payments with respect thereto.

The Borrower, for itself, its successors and assigns, hereby waives diligence,
presentment, protest and demand and notice of protest, demand, dishonor and
non-payment of this Note.

This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York (without giving effect to New York’s principles of conflicts
of laws).

 

This Note amends, restates and supersedes in its entirety the Note dated as of
August 26, 2013 (the “Existing Note”) from the Borrower and certain of
Borrower’s Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries made payable to the order of the Lender.
Upon execution and delivery by the Borrower of this Note, this Note shall
replace in its entirety the Existing Note, and shall immediately evidence all of
the outstanding indebtedness under the Existing Note. The Borrower hereby agrees
that the indebtedness embodied in and evidenced by this Note is the same
indebtedness embodied and evidenced by the existence of the Existing Note and
that such indebtedness is a continuing obligation of the Borrower, and has been
and continues to be fully enforceable, absolute and in existence. Borrower
acknowledges that the Borrower does not have any offsets, defenses or
counterclaims to the Existing Note, and to the extent the Borrower may have any
claim, the Borrower hereby WAIVES and RENOUNCES any such claim.

Exhibit G

Form of Subsidiary Guaranty

Continuing Guaranty

For Value Received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, and in
consideration of credit and/or financial accommodation heretofore or hereafter
from time to time made or granted to Franklin Street Properties Corp., a
Maryland corporation, (the “Borrower”) by Bank of Montreal, as Administrative
Agent and a Lender and the other lenders party to that certain Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 29, 2014 (as amended, restated,
extended, supplemented, or otherwise modified in writing from time to time, the
“Agreement”) by and among Borrower, Bank of Montreal and the other lenders from
time to time party thereto (Bank of Montreal together with such lenders from
time to time party to the Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the
“Lender”), the undersigned Guarantor (the “Guarantor”) hereby furnishes its
guaranty as follows:

1.   Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees
to Lender the full and prompt payment when due, whether at stated maturity, by
required prepayment, upon acceleration, demand or otherwise, and at all times
thereafter, of the Guaranteed Obligations (as hereafter defined) and the
punctual performance of all of the terms contained in the documents executed by
the Borrower in favor of Lender in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations.
This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance and is not merely a
guaranty of collection. As used herein, the term “Guaranteed Obligations” means
any and all existing and future indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of
every kind, nature and character, direct or indirect, absolute or contingent,
liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary and whether for principal,
interest, premiums, fees indemnities, damages, costs, expenses or otherwise, of
the Borrower to the Lender arising under the Agreement and any instruments,
agreements or other documents of any kind or nature now or hereafter executed in
connection with the Agreement with respect to any loan or letter of credit
thereunder (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and
other modifications thereof and all costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses incurred by the Lender in connection with the collection or enforcement
thereof). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed
Obligations shall include any such indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities of
the Borrower to the Lender arising under the Agreement and any instruments,
agreements or other documents of any kind or nature now or hereafter executed in
connection with the Agreement with respect to any loan or letter of credit
thereunder (including all renewals, extensions, amendments, refinancings and
other modifications thereof) which may be or hereafter become unenforceable or
shall be an allowed or disallowed claim under any proceeding or case commenced
by or against the Guarantor or the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11,
United States Code), any successor statute or any other liquidation,
conservatorship, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, or similar
debtor relief laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions from
time to time in effect and affecting the rights of creditors

 

Exhibit G

(Form of Subsidiary Guaranty)

 

 

 

generally (collectively, “Debtor Relief Laws”), and shall include interest that
accrues after the commencement by or against the Borrower of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Laws. Anything contained herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder at any time shall be
limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render
its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (Title 11, United States
Code) or any comparable provisions of any similar federal or state law.

2.   No Setoff or Deductions; Taxes; Payments. The Guarantor shall to the extent
permitted by applicable Laws make all payments hereunder without setoff or
counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified
Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Guarantor to withhold or deduct
any Taxes, such Taxes shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws
as determined by the Guarantor taking account the information and documentation
to be delivered pursuant to the Agreement. To the extent that the withholding or
deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the
Guarantor shall be increased in accordance with Section 3.01 of the Agreement so
that after any required withholding or deduction the Lender receives an amount
equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction for
Indemnified Taxes been made. The obligations of the Guarantor under this
paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and
termination of this Guaranty.

 

3.   Rights of Lender. The Guarantor consents and agrees that the Lender may, at
any time and from time to time, without notice or demand, and without affecting
the enforceability or continuing effectiveness hereof: (a) amend, extend, renew,
compromise, discharge, accelerate or otherwise change the time for payment or
the terms of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof; (b) take, hold,
exchange, enforce, waive, release, fail to perfect, sell, or otherwise dispose
of any security for the payment of this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Obligations;
(c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as the
Lender in its sole discretion may determine; and (d) release or substitute one
or more of any endorsers or other guarantors of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor
consents to the taking of, or failure to take, any action which might in any
manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor under this Guaranty or
which, but for this provision, might operate as a discharge of the Guarantor.

G-2

 

 

4.   Certain Waivers. The Guarantor waives to the fullest extent permitted by
law (a) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the
Borrower or any other guarantor, or the cessation from any cause whatsoever
(including any act or omission of the Lender) of the liability of the Borrower;
(b) any defense based on any claim that the Guarantor’s obligations exceed or
are more burdensome than those of the Borrower; (c) the benefit of any statute
of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; (d) any right to
require the Lender to proceed against the Borrower, proceed against or exhaust
any security for the Guaranteed Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the
Lender ’s power whatsoever and any defense based upon the doctrines of
marshalling of assets or of election of remedies; (e) any benefit of and any
right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Lender;
(f) any fact or circumstance related to the Guaranteed Obligations which might
otherwise constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this
Guaranty and (g) any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from
or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating
guarantors or sureties, other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations
have been fully performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

The Guarantor expressly waives all presentments, demands for payment or
performance, notices of nonpayment or nonperformance, protests, notices of
protest, notices of dishonor and all other notices or demands of any kind or
nature whatsoever with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, and all notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty or of the existence, creation or incurrence of new
or additional Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty shall not be affected by the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any instrument or agreement evidencing any Guaranteed
Obligations, or by the existence, validity, enforceability, perfection,
non-perfection or extent of any collateral therefor, or by any fact or
circumstance relating to the Guaranteed Obligations which might otherwise
constitute a defense to the obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty,
and the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or
hereafter acquire in any way relating to any or all of the foregoing.

5.   Obligations Independent. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are
those of primary obligor, and not merely as surety, and are independent of the
Guaranteed Obligations and the obligations of any other guarantor, and a
separate action may be brought against the Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty
whether or not the Borrower or any other person or entity is joined as a party.

6.   Subrogation. The Guarantor shall not exercise any right of subrogation,
contribution, indemnity, reimbursement or similar rights with respect to any
payments it makes under this Guaranty until all of the Guaranteed Obligations
and any amounts payable under this Guaranty have been indefeasibly paid and
performed in full and any commitments of the Lender or facilities provided by
the Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations are terminated. If any
amounts are paid to the Guarantor in violation of the foregoing limitation, then
such amounts shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Lender and shall
forthwith be paid to the Lender to reduce the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured.

G-3

 

 

7.   Termination; Reinstatement. This Guaranty is a continuing and irrevocable
guaranty of all Guaranteed Obligations now or hereafter existing and shall,
unless earlier released in accordance with the Agreement, remain in full force
and effect until all Guaranteed Obligations and any other amounts payable under
this Guaranty are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and any commitments of the
Lender or facilities provided by the Lender with respect to the Guaranteed
Obligations are terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Guaranty shall
continue in full force and effect or be revived, as the case may be, if any
payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantor is made, or the Lender
exercises its right of setoff, in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and such
payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required
(including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or otherwise, all as
if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred and whether or
not the Lender is in possession of or has released this Guaranty and regardless
of any prior revocation, rescission, termination or reduction. The obligations
of the Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive termination of this
Guaranty.

 

8.   Subordination. The Guarantor hereby subordinates the payment of all
obligations and indebtedness of the Borrower owing to the Guarantor, whether now
existing or hereafter arising, including but not limited to any obligation of
the Borrower to the Guarantor as subrogee of the Lender or resulting from the
Guarantor’s performance under this Guaranty, to the indefeasible payment in full
in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations. During the continuance of an Event of
Default under the Agreement, any such obligation or indebtedness of the Borrower
to the Guarantor shall be enforced and performance received by the Guarantor as
trustee for the Lender and the proceeds thereof shall be paid over to the Lender
on account of the Guaranteed Obligations, but without reducing or affecting in
any manner the liability of the Guarantor under this Guaranty.

 

9.   Stay of Acceleration. In the event that acceleration of the time for
payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is stayed, in connection with any
case commenced by or against the Guarantor or the Borrower under any Debtor
Relief Laws, or otherwise, all such amounts shall nonetheless be payable by the
Guarantor immediately upon demand by the Lender.

 

10.   Expenses. The Guarantor shall pay on demand all out-of-pocket expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way relating to the
enforcement or protection of the Lender’s rights under this Guaranty or in
respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, including any incurred during any
“workout” or restructuring in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations and any
incurred in the preservation, protection or enforcement of any rights of the
Lender in any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws. The obligations of the
Guarantor under this paragraph shall survive the payment in full of the
Guaranteed Obligations and termination of this Guaranty.

G-4

 

 

11.   Miscellaneous. The Lender’s books and records showing the amount of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or
proceeding, and shall be binding upon the Guarantor and conclusive, absent
manifest error, for the purpose of establishing the amount of the Guaranteed
Obligations. No provision of this Guaranty may be waived, amended, supplemented
or modified, except by a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent
(with approval of the Required Lenders) and the Guarantor. No failure by the
Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law or in equity. The unenforceability or invalidity of any
provision of this Guaranty shall not affect the enforceability or validity of
any other provision herein. Unless otherwise agreed by the Lender and the
Guarantor in writing, this Guaranty is not intended to supersede or otherwise
affect any other guaranty now or hereafter given by the Guarantor for the
benefit of the Lender or any term or provision thereof. Capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Agreement.

 

12.   Condition of Borrower. The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it has
the sole responsibility for, and has adequate means of, obtaining from the
Borrower and any other guarantor such information concerning the financial
condition, business and operations of the Borrower and any such other guarantor
as the Guarantor requires, and that the Lender has no duty, and the Guarantor is
not relying on the Lender at any time, to disclose to the Guarantor any
information relating to the business, operations or financial condition of the
Borrower or any other guarantor (the guarantor waiving any duty on the part of
the Lender to disclose such information and any defense relating to the failure
to provide the same).

 

13.   Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if and
to the extent any payment is not made when due hereunder, the Lender may setoff
and charge from time to time any amount so due against any or all of the
Guarantor’s accounts or deposits with the Lender.

 

14.   Representations and Warranties. The Guarantor represents and warrants that
(a) it is organized and resident in the United States of America; (b) it is duly
organized and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
organization and has full capacity and right to make and perform this Guaranty,
and all necessary authority has been obtained; (c) this Guaranty constitutes its
legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms;
(d) the making, existence, and performance of this Guaranty does not and will
not violate the provisions of any applicable law, regulation or order, and does
not and will not result in the breach of, or constitute a default or require any
consent under, any material agreement, instrument, or document to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its property may be bound or affected; and
(e) all consents, approvals, licenses and authorizations of, and filings and
registrations with, any governmental authority required under applicable law and
regulations for the making and performance of this Guaranty have been obtained
or made and are in full force and effect.

G-5

 

 

15.   Governing Law; Assignment; Jurisdiction; Notices. This Guaranty shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of
New York. This Guaranty shall (a) bind the Guarantor and its successors and
assigns, provided that the Guarantor may not assign its rights or obligations
under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of the Lender (and any
attempted assignment without such consent shall be void), and (b) inure to the
benefit of the Lender and its successors and permitted assigns under the
Agreement. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably (i) submits to the non exclusive
jurisdiction of any United States Federal or State court sitting in the State of
New York, City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty, and (ii) waives to the fullest extent permitted by
law any defense asserting an inconvenient forum in connection therewith. Service
of process by the Lender in connection with such action or proceeding shall be
binding on the Guarantor if sent to the Guarantor by registered or certified
mail at its address specified below or such other address as from time to time
notified by the Guarantor. The Guarantor agrees that, subject to the
Section 10.07 of the Agreement, the Lender may disclose to any assignee of or
participant in, or any prospective assignee of or participant in, any of its
rights or obligations of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, any and all
information in the Lender’s possession concerning the Guarantor this Guaranty
and any security for this Guaranty. All notices and other communications to the
Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand
or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by
telecopier to the Guarantor at its address set forth below or at such other
address in the United States as may be specified by the Guarantor in a written
notice delivered to the Lender at such office as the Lender may designate for
such purpose from time to time in a written notice to the Guarantor.

 

16.   Waiver of Jury Trial; Final Agreement. To the extent allowed by applicable
law, the Guarantor and the Lender each irrevocably waives trial by jury with
respect to any action, claim, suit or proceeding on, arising out of or relating
to this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations. This Guaranty represents the
final agreement between the parties and may not be contradicted by evidence of
prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements between the parties. There
are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.
