WHEREAS, the Borrower has entered into that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time immediately prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”), with the Lenders from time to time party thereto, the Administrative Agent and the other parties party thereto;

 

WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Existing Credit Agreement be amended into the form attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the “Amended Credit Agreement”; except as otherwise provided herein, all capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms therein) so as to, among other things, (i) extend the Initial Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) extend the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date and (iii) provide for New Incremental Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000 (the “2015 Incremental Term Loans”);

WHEREAS, the Lenders party hereto constitute (i) at least the Requisite Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) all of the Revolving Credit Lenders and (iii) all of the Term Lenders, other than, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), the Non-Consenting Lenders (as defined below);

WHEREAS, on the Effective Date (as defined in Section 3 of this Amendment) each Person party hereto that elects to make 2015 Incremental Term Loans (each, an “Incremental Lender”) severally (and not jointly) agrees to extend 2015 Incremental Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount set forth opposite such Person’s name on

 













 

Schedule I (Commitments) to the Amended Credit Agreement (as in effect on the First Amendment Effective Date) under the caption “2015 Incremental Term Commitment” (such amount, its “New Incremental Term Commitment”); and

 

WHEREAS, the aggregate proceeds of the 2015 Incremental Term Loans shall be used by the Borrower (i) to finance acquisitions permitted under the Existing Credit Agreement, (ii) for general corporate purposes and (iii) to pay the fees, costs and expenses in connection therewith and the entry into this Amendment.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, as well as other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.                            Amendment to Existing Credit Agreement.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Section 3 of this Amendment, on the Effective Date, immediately following the assignment by any Non-Consenting Lenders of its Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Outstandings and/or Term Loans to a Replacement Lender (as defined below) and the making of the 2015 Incremental Term Loans:

 

(a)                                 The Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended in the form of the Amended Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 and any term or provision of the Existing Credit Agreement which is different from that set forth in the Amended Credit Agreement shall be replaced and superseded in all respects by the terms and provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement; and

 

(b)                                 The Schedules to the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended and restated into the form of the schedules attached hereto as Exhibit A-2.

 

SECTION 2.                            Allocations, Reallocations and 2015 Incremental Term Loans.

 

(a)                                 Each Incremental Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make 2015 Incremental Term Loans to the Borrower on the Effective Date, in accordance with Section 2.1(b) of the Amended Credit Agreement, in an amount to be determined by the Administrative Agent, notified to such Incremental Lender prior to the Effective Date and set forth on Schedule I to the Amended Credit Agreement (but in any event not to exceed such Incremental Lender’s New Incremental Term Commitment).

 

(b)                                 The Borrower requests, pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 11.1(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement, that each Non-Consenting Lender assign its Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Outstandings and/or Term Loans, as applicable, to any Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Replacement Lenders”).  Each Replacement Lender shall, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, purchase the Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Outstandings and/or Term Loans, as applicable, of any such Non-Consenting Lender, in each case, in accordance with Section 11.1(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Payment for the purchase of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments, Revolving Credit Outstandings and/or Term Loans, as applicable, shall be made

 

2











 

by the Replacement Lenders to each Non-Consenting Lender on the Effective Date and (without limitation of the right of the Replacement Lenders to require the further execution of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement) the receipt of such payment by such Non-Consenting Lender shall be deemed to effectuate the consummation of such purchase and the Administrative Agent shall reflect such assignment in the Register.  Each Replacement Lender by its signature hereto consents to the amendments to the Existing Credit Agreement set forth in this Amendment.  Subject to the return by each Non-Consenting Lender of its Revolving Note or Term Loan Note (in each case, if any) to the Administrative Agent for cancellation, the Borrower shall, if requested by the applicable Replacement Lender, issue and deliver a new Revolving Note or Term Loan Note to the applicable Replacement Lender (or its designee) in accordance with the terms of Section 11.2(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Each Term Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase Term Loans from, or assign Term Loans to, the Administrative Agent, in each case in an amount determined by the Administrative Agent (and notified to such Term Lender prior to the Effective Date) to be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all assignments of Term Loans by Non-Consenting Lenders, all 2015 Incremental Term Loans made pursuant to Section 2(a) of this Amendment and all such assignments and purchases of Term Loans described in this Section 2(d), the Term Loans will be held by the Term Lenders ratably in accordance with each Lender’s Ratable Portion.  The 2015 Incremental Term Loans shall be treated as Initial Term Loans for all purposes under the Amended Credit Agreement, including without limitation with respect to maturity, prepayments, repayments, interest rate and other economic terms.  Notwithstanding anything in the Amended Credit Agreement to the contrary, the initial Interest Period with respect to the 2015 Incremental Term Loans shall commence on the Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to ensure that all such 2015 Incremental Term Loans are included in the Term Loans outstanding, on a pro rata basis, and the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to mark the Register accordingly to reflect the amendments and adjustments set forth herein.

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Existing Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Lenders party hereto waive the payment of any compensation required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.14 of the Existing Credit Agreement (to the extent any right to such compensation arises in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(e)(ii) of this Amendment).

 

SECTION 3.                            Conditions to Effectiveness.  This Amendment (including the Amended Credit Agreement) shall become effective when the following conditions have been satisfied or waived (the “Effective Date”):

 

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts (or written evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (which may include a facsimile or other electronic transmission) that such party has signed a counterpart) of this Amendment duly executed by (i) each Loan Party, (ii) the Administrative Agent, (iii) the Swing Line Lender and (iv) the Lenders constituting at least the Requisite Lenders under the Existing Credit Agreement, in the case of this clause (iv), prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 9, 2015 (the “Consent Deadline”).

(b)                                 The Replacement Lenders shall have, immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment, paid to each Non-Consenting Lender all amounts required to be paid by the applicable Replacement Lender pursuant to Section 11.1(c) of the Existing Credit Agreement in order to give effect to the transaction contemplated by Section 2(c) of this Amendment.

 

(c)                                  The Borrower shall have paid all fees and reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) of the First Amendment Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, to the extent required pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Existing Credit Agreement or the First Amendment Engagement Letter, as applicable, and invoiced to the Borrower on or before the Effective Date.

 

(d)                                 The Administrative Agent shall have received written opinions of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP and counsel to the Loan Parties in each of the jurisdictions listed on Schedule 3.1(a) to the Existing Credit Agreement, in each case, addressed to the Administrative Agent, the Issuers and the Lenders and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (and each Loan Party hereby instructs such counsel to deliver such opinions to the Administrative Agent).

 

(e)                                  The Administrative Agent shall have received (i) copies of each Constituent Document of each Loan Party, certified as of a recent date by the Secretary of State of the state of organization of such Loan Party, together with certificates of such official attesting to the good standing of each such Loan Party; (ii) a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of each Loan Party certifying the names and true signatures of each officer of such Loan Party that has been authorized to execute and deliver this Amendment or any other Loan Document required to be delivered hereunder and (iii) the resolutions of such Loan Party’s Board of Directors (or equivalent governing body) approving and authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, certified as of the Effective Date by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary as being in full force and effect without modification or amendment; provided that, in lieu of delivering the Constituent Documents required by clause (i), the Borrower may deliver a certificate of an Responsible Officer certifying that there have been no amendments to those Constituent Documents previously delivered to the Administrative Agent in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

(f)                                   The Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate of the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower, stating that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are Solvent on a Consolidated basis, after giving effect to the transactions to occur on the date hereof, including the incurrence of the 2015 Incremental Term Loans and the use of proceeds thereof.

 

(g)                                  No Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

(h)                                 The representations and warranties contained in Article IV of the Amended Credit Agreement and in the other Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) on and as of the Effective Date with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date, in which case such

 

4











 

representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (without duplication of any materiality qualifier contained therein) as of such earlier date.

 

(i)                                     The Administrative Agent shall have received a fully executed and delivered Borrowing Notice with respect to the 2015 Incremental Term Loans.

 

(j) To the extent requested in writing to the Borrower at least 5 Business Days prior to the Effective Date, the Replacement Lenders shall have received, at least three days prior to the Effective Date, all documentation and other information relating to the Loan Parties required by bank regulatory authorities under applicable “know-your-customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.

 

SECTION 4.                            2015 Incremental Term Loans.  The parties hereto hereby agree that the 2015 Incremental Term Loans contemplated by this Amendment constitute 2015 Incremental Term Loans incurred pursuant to (and in accordance with) Section 2.19 of the Existing Credit Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, the incurrence of the 2015 Incremental Term Loans on the Effective Date shall not constitute usage of the “Facility Increase Allowance” under and as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 5.                            Representations. Each Loan Party hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and Lenders that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Amendment (i) has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and (ii) do not require the consent of, authorization by, approval of, notice to, or filing or registration with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person, other than those that have been or will be, prior to the Effective Date, obtained or made, copies of which have been or will be delivered to the Administrative Agent, and which on the Effective Date will be in full force and effect and, with respect to the Collateral, filings required to perfect the Liens created by the Collateral Documents.

 

SECTION 6.                            Effect on Loan Documents.  Except as specifically amended herein, all the Loan Documents shall continue to be in full force and effect and are hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed.  Except as specifically set forth herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of any Lender or the Administrative Agent under any of the Loan Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents or in any way limit, impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that, on and after the Effective Date, this Amendment and each of the other Loan Documents to be executed and delivered by a Loan Party in connection herewith shall constitute a Loan Document for all purposes of the Amended Credit Agreement.  On and after the Effective Date, each reference in the Amended Credit Agreement to “this Agreement”, “hereunder”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement, and each reference in the other Loan Documents to “Credit Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Amended Credit Agreement, and this Amendment and the Amended Credit Agreement shall be read together and construed as a single instrument.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to entitle the Borrower to a further consent to, or a further waiver, amendment, modification or other change of, any of the terms, conditions,

 

5











 

obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Amended Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document in similar or different circumstances.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Amendment does not constitute a novation or termination by any Loan Party of the Indebtedness and Obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 7.                            Indemnification.  The provisions of Section 11.4 of the Amended Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

 

SECTION 8.                            Amendments; Severability.

 

(a)                                 This Amendment may not be amended nor may any provision hereof be waived except pursuant to a writing signed by each party hereto.

 

(b)                                 In case any provision in or obligation hereunder shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

SECTION 9.                            Reaffirmation.  Each of the Loan Parties party hereto, including each Guarantor, hereby (a) acknowledges and agrees that the 2015 Incremental Term Loans and the Incremental Lenders constitute Loans and Lenders, respectively, under the Loan Documents, and that all of such Loan Party’s obligations under the Collateral Documents and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party are reaffirmed and remain in full force and effect on a continuous basis, (b) reaffirms each Lien granted by it to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the guaranties made by it pursuant to the Guaranty, (c) acknowledges and agrees that the grants of security interests by and the guaranties of the Loan Parties contained in the Existing Credit Agreement and the Collateral Documents are, and shall remain, in full force and effect after giving effect to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby, and (d) agrees that the Obligations include the 2015 Incremental Term Loans.

 

SECTION 10.  GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; JURISDICTION; SERVICE OF PROCESS.  THIS AMENDMENT AND ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSY, DISPUTE OR CAUSE OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AMENDMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AMENDMENT.  The provisions of Section 11.12 (Submission to Jurisdiction; Service of Process) of the Amended Credit Agreement are incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis.

 

SECTION 11.  Section Titles.  The section titles contained in this Amendment are and shall be without substantive meaning or content of any kind whatsoever and are not a part of the agreement between the parties hereto, except when used to reference a section.  Any reference to the number of a clause, sub-clause or subsection hereof immediately followed by a reference in

 

6











 

parenthesis to the title of the Section containing such clause, sub-clause or subsection is a reference to such clause, sub-clause or subsection and not to the entire Section; provided, however, that, in case of direct conflict between the reference to the title and the reference to the number of such Section, the reference to the title shall govern absent manifest error.  If any reference to the number of a Section (but not to any clause, sub-clause or subsection thereof) is followed immediately by a reference in parenthesis to the title of a Section, the title reference shall govern in case of direct conflict absent manifest error.

 

SECTION 12.  Execution in Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are attached to the same document.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Amendment by facsimile transmission, electronic mail or by posting on the Approved Electronic Platform shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Amendment signed by all parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

 

SECTION 13.  Tax Treatment.  Solely for purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Loans (including any Initial Term Loans or Revolving Credit Outstandings) as not qualifying as “grandfathered obligations” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i) or 1.1471-2T(b)(2)(i). The Borrower intends to treat this Amendment as resulting in a significant modification of the Initial Term Loans within the meaning of Section 1.1001-3 of the Treasury Regulations.  In addition, the issue price of the Term Loans (including the modified Initial Term Loans) shall be determined based on the amount of cash paid for the New Incremental Term Loans in accordance with Section 1.1273-2(a)(1) of the Treasury Regulations.

ARTICLE II

 

THE FACILITIES

 

Section 2.1          The Commitments

 

(a)           Revolving Credit Commitments.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Agreement, each Revolving Credit Lender severally agrees to make loans in Dollars (each an “Initial Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Revolving Credit Termination Date in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding for all such loans by such Revolving Credit Lender not to exceed such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan in excess of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Available Credit.  Within the limits of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Revolving Credit Lender and the Available Credit, amounts of Revolving Loans repaid may be reborrowed by the Borrower under this Section 2.1.

 

(b)           Term Commitments.  On the Closing Date, the Original Lenders made Term Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount equal to their Term Commitment on the Closing Date (each, an “Original Term Loan”).  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the First Amendment, each 2015 Incremental Lender severally agrees to make a 2015 Incremental Term Loan in Dollars (each, together with each Original Term Loan, an “Initial Term Loan”) to the Borrower on the First Amendment Effective Date, in an amount not to exceed such Term Lender’s Term Commitment on the First Amendment Effective Date.  Amounts of Term Loans repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

 

Section 2.2          Borrowing Procedures

 

(a)           Borrowings.

 

(i)            Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) (i) one Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans

 

63











 

and (ii) three Business Days, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Each such notice shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit C (Form of Notice of Borrowing) (a “Notice of Borrowing”), specifying (A) the date of such proposed Borrowing, (B) the aggregate amount of such proposed Borrowing, (C) whether any portion of the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans and (D) for each Eurodollar Rate Loan, the initial Interest Period or Periods thereof.  Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless, subject to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.3(a) (Swing Loans), if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Revolving Credit Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent may make a Swing Loan available to the Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan.  Each Revolving Credit Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.

 

(ii)           The Administrative Agent shall give to each Revolving Credit Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to Revolving Credit Borrowings and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, the applicable interest rate determined pursuant to Section 2.14(a) (Determination of Interest Rate).  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 am. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), in immediately available funds, such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment (or due waiver in accordance with Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.)) (A) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth Section 3.1 (Conditions Precedent to Initial Loans and Letters of Credit), (B) on the First Amendment Effective Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3 of the First Amendment and (C) at any time (including the Closing Date and the First Amendment Effective Date), of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit), and after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.

 

(b)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date of any proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Borrowing (or any portion thereof), the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section 2.2 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such

 

64











 

Ratable Portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter at the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Borrowing.  If such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have hereunder to the Borrower.

 

(c)           The occurrence of any Revolving Credit Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligations to make such Revolving Loan or payment on such date but no such other Revolving Credit Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make a Loan or a payment required under this Agreement.

 

Section 2.3          Swing Loans

 

(a)           Swing Loans.

Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in full within seven days after its making or, if sooner, upon any Revolving Credit Borrowing hereunder and shall in any event mature no later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

Upon such payment by a Lender, such Lender shall, except as

 

66











 

provided in clause (f) below, be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent shall use such funds to repay the Swing Loans to the Swing Lender.  To the extent that any Lender fails to make such payment available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Lender, the Borrower shall repay such Swing Loan on demand.

 

(f)            Upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), each Revolving Credit Lender shall acquire, without recourse or warranty, an undivided participation in each Swing Loan otherwise required to be repaid by such Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to clause (e) above, which participation shall be in a principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan, by paying to the Swing Lender on the date on which such Lender would otherwise have been required to make a payment in respect of such Swing Loan pursuant to clause (e) above, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Swing Loan.  If all or part of such amount is not in fact made available by any applicable Lender to the Swing Lender on such date, the Swing Lender shall be entitled to recover any such unpaid amount on demand from such Lender together with interest accrued from such date at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day after such payment was due and thereafter at the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans.

(vi)          (A)          any fees due in connection with a requested Issuance have not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such Issuer or (C) the Issuer for such Letter of Credit shall not have received, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and, if applicable, duly executed by the Borrower, applications, agreements and other documentation (collectively, a “Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement”) such Issuer generally employs in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit; or

 

(vii)         the issuance of the Letter of Credit would violate one or more policies of the Issuer applicable to the issuance of letters of credit generally.

 

68











 

None of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the Issuers in their capacity as such) shall have any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit.

 

(b)           In no event shall the expiration date of any Letter of Credit (i) be more than one year after the date of issuance thereof or (ii) be less than five days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term less than or equal to one year may provide for the renewal thereof for additional periods less than or equal to one year, as long as, (x) on or before the expiration of each such term and each such period, the Borrower and the Issuer of such Letter of Credit shall have the option to prevent such renewal and (y) neither the Issuer of such Letter of Credit nor the Borrower shall permit any such renewal to extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the date set forth in clause (ii) above.

 

(c)           In connection with the Issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall give the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days’ prior written notice, in substantially the form of Exhibit E (Form of Letter of Credit Request) (or in such other written or electronic form as is acceptable to the Issuer), of the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Request”).  Such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the Issuer of such Letter of Credit, the currency of issuance and face amount of the Letter of Credit requested (whose Dollar Equivalent shall not be less than $500,000 (or such lesser amount as mutually agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Issuer)), the date of Issuance of such requested Letter of Credit, the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which date shall be a Business Day) and, in the case of an issuance, the Person for whose benefit the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued.  Such notice, to be effective, must be received by the relevant Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second Business Day prior to the requested Issuance of such Letter of Credit.

 

(d)           Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.4, the relevant Issuer shall, on the requested date, Issue a Letter of Credit on behalf of the Borrower in accordance with such Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.  No Issuer shall Issue any Letter of Credit in the period commencing on the first Business Day after it receives written notice from any Revolving Credit Lender that one or more of the conditions precedent contained in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) or clause (a) above (other than those conditions set forth in clauses (a)(i), (a)(vi)(B) and (C) above and, to the extent such clause relates to fees owing to the Issuer of such Letter of Credit and its Affiliates, clause (a)(vi)(A) above) are not on such date satisfied or duly waived and ending when such conditions are satisfied or duly waived.  No Issuer shall otherwise be required to determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) have been satisfied in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit.

 

(e)           The Borrower agrees that, if requested by the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, it shall execute a Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement in respect to any Letter of Credit Issued hereunder.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of any

 

69











 

Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

 

(f)            Each Issuer shall comply with the following:

 

(i)            give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic notice confirmed promptly thereafter in writing), which writing may be a telecopy or electronic mail, of the Issuance of any Letter of Credit Issued by it, of all drawings under any Letter of Credit Issued by it and of the payment (or the failure to pay when due) by the Borrower of any Reimbursement Obligation when due (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit by telecopy, electronic mail or similar transmission to each Revolving Credit Lender);

 

(ii)           upon the request of any Revolving Credit Lender, furnish to such Revolving Credit Lender copies of any Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement to which such Issuer is a party and such other documentation as may reasonably be requested by such Revolving Credit Lender; and

 

(iii)          no later than 10 Business Days following the last day of each calendar month, provide to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender requesting the same) and the Borrower separate schedules for Documentary Letters of Credit and Standby Letters of Credit issued by it, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, setting forth the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations, in each case outstanding at the end of each month and any information requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent relating thereto.

 

(g)           Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuer of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, such Issuer shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit Lender, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from such Issuer, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation, to the extent of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments, in such Letter of Credit and the obligations of the Borrower with respect thereto (including all Letter of Credit Obligations with respect thereto) and any security therefor and guaranty pertaining thereto.

 

(h)           The Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit the amount of all Reimbursement Obligations owing to such Issuer under any Letter of Credit issued for its account in (x) Dollars or (y) with respect to any Letter of Credit issued in an Alternative Currency, in such Alternative Currency (or if requested by the applicable Issuer, the Dollar Equivalent thereof in Dollars), in each case, no later than the date that is the next succeeding Business Day after the Borrower receives written notice from such Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit (the “Reimbursement Date”), irrespective of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the

 

70











 

Borrower may have at any time against such Issuer or any other Person.  In the event that any Issuer makes any payment under any Letter of Credit and the Borrower shall not have repaid such amount to such Issuer pursuant to this clause (h) or any such payment by the Borrower is rescinded or set aside for any reason, such Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such Reimbursement Obligation arose to the Reimbursement Date, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) from the Reimbursement Date until the date of repayment in full, at the rate of interest applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans, and such Issuer shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender of such failure, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer the amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of such payment (or the Dollar Equivalent thereof if such payment was made in any currency other than Dollars) in immediately available Dollars.  If the Administrative Agent so notifies such Revolving Credit Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on any Business Day, such Revolving Credit Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer its Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment on such Business Day in immediately available funds.  Upon such payment by a Revolving Credit Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender shall, except during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default) and notwithstanding whether or not the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan and Letter of Credit) shall have been satisfied (which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive), be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan, to the Borrower in the principal amount of such payment.  Whenever any Issuer receives from the Borrower a payment of a Reimbursement Obligation as to which the Administrative Agent has received for the account of such Issuer any payment from a Revolving Credit Lender pursuant to this clause (h), such Issuer shall pay over to the Administrative Agent any amount received in excess of such Reimbursement Obligation and, upon receipt of such amount, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay over to each Revolving Credit Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the amount of such payment adjusted, if necessary, to reflect the respective amounts the Revolving Credit Lenders have paid in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation.

 

(i)            If and to the extent such Revolving Credit Lender shall not have so made its Ratable Portion of the amount of the payment required by clause (h) above available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer forthwith on demand any such unpaid amount together with interest thereon, for the first Business Day after payment was first due at the Federal Funds Rate and, thereafter, until such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuer, at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans.

 

71









 

(j)                                    The Borrower’s obligation to pay each Reimbursement Obligation and the obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuers with respect to Letters of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, and irrespective of any of the following:

 

(i)                                     any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document, or any term or provision therein;

 

(ii)                                  any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the provisions of any Letter of Credit or any Loan Document;

 

(iii)                               the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the Borrower, any other party guaranteeing, or otherwise obligated with, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof or any other Person may at any time have against the beneficiary under any Letter of Credit, any Issuer, the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other related or unrelated agreement or transaction;

 

(iv)                              any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

 

(v)                                 payment by the Issuer under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

 

(vi)                              any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of the Issuer, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder;

 

(vii)                           any waiver by the Issuer of any requirement that exists for the Issuer’s protection and not the protection of the Borrower or any waiver by the Issuer which does not in fact materially prejudice the Borrower;

 

(viii)                        any honor of a demand for payment presented electronically even if such Letter of Credit requires that demand be in the form of a draft; and

 

(ix)                              any payment made by the Issuer in respect of an otherwise complying item presented after the date specified as the expiration date of, or the

 

72











 

date by which documents must be received under, such Letter of Credit if presentation after such date is authorized by the UCC, the ISP or the UCP, as applicable.

 

Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the relevant Issuer under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not result in any liability of such Issuer to the Borrower or any Lender.  In determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof, the Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary and, in making any payment under any Letter of Credit, the Issuer may rely exclusively on the documents presented to it under such Letter of Credit as to any and all matters set forth therein, including reliance on the amount of any draft presented under such Letter of Credit, whether or not the amount due to the beneficiary thereunder equals the amount of such draft and whether or not any document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be insufficient in any respect, if such document on its face appears to be in order, and whether or not any other statement or any other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit proves to be forged or invalid or any statement therein proves to be inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever, and any noncompliance in any immaterial respect of the documents presented under such Letter of Credit with the terms thereof shall, in each case, be deemed not to constitute willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Issuer.

 

(k)                                 Existing Letters of Credit.  The Existing Letters of Credit were issued to the Borrower under the Existing Credit Agreement prior to the Closing Date for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries.  On the Closing Date (i) such letters of credit, to the extent outstanding, shall be automatically and without further action by the parties thereto be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 for the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries, as applicable, and subject to the terms hereof, (ii) the Dollar Equivalent of the face amount of such letters of credit shall be included in the calculation of Letter of Credit Obligations, (iii) all liabilities of the Borrower with respect to such letters of credit shall constitute Obligations and (iv) all applicable fees specified in this Agreement shall be payable with respect to the Existing Letters of Credit (in substitution for any fees set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement or the applicable letter of credit reimbursement agreements or applications relating to such letters of credit) as if such letters of credit had been issued on the Closing Date; provided, that, no fees shall be payable on the Closing Date under the Agreement pursuant to Section 2.12(b)(iii) (Letter of Credit Fees) in respect of the Existing Letters of Credit.

 

(l)                                     Any Issuer may send a Letter of Credit or conduct any communication to or from the beneficiary via the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication message or overnight courier, or any other commercially reasonable means of communicating with a beneficiary.

 

73











 

(m)                             Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuer and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the ISP shall apply to each Standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the UCP shall apply to each Documentary Letter of Credit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Issuer shall not be responsible to the Borrower for, and the applicable Issuer’s rights and remedies against the Borrower shall not be impaired by, any action or inaction of the applicable Issuer required or permitted under any law, order, or practice that is required or permitted to be applied to any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, including any Requirement of Law or any order of a jurisdiction where the applicable Issuer or the beneficiary is located, the practice stated in the ISP or UCP, as applicable, or in the decisions, opinions, practice statements, or official commentary of the ICC Banking Commission, the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade - International Financial Services Association (BAFT-IFSA), or the Institute of International Banking Law & Practice, whether or not any Letter of Credit chooses such law or practice.

 

(n)                                 Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the applicable Issuer for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit.  The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.

 

(o)                                 Any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any documentation related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.

 

Section 2.5                             Reduction and Termination of the Commitments

 

Upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may terminate in whole or reduce in part ratably the unused portions of the respective Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders; provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.  In addition, all outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate on the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.6                             Repayment of Loans

 

(a)                                 (i)                                     The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Initial Revolving Loans on the Initial Revolving Credit Termination Date or earlier, if otherwise required by the terms hereof.

 

74











 

(ii)                                  The Borrower promises to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of any Extended Revolving Loans on the applicable Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     The Borrower promises to repay the Initial Term Loans on the fifteenth day following the end of each Fiscal Quarter in an amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Initial Term Loans outstanding as of the First Amendment Effective Date; provided, however, that the Borrower shall repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Initial Term Loans on the Initial Term Loan Maturity Date.

 

(ii)                                  The Borrower promises to repay any New Incremental Loans, Extended Term Loans and Refinancing Loans on each date set forth in the applicable Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment.

 

Section 2.7                             Evidence of Debt

 

(a)                                 Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the Administrative Agent’s, each Lender’s and each Issuer’s interest in each Loan, each Letter of Credit and each Reimbursement Obligation, and in the right to receive any payments hereunder and any assignment of any such interest or rights.  In addition, the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Issuers, (ii) the Commitments of each Lender from time to time, (iii) the amount of each Loan made and, if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit, (v) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Lender hereunder, (vi) the amount that is due and payable, and paid, by the Borrower to, or for the account of, each Issuer, including the amount of Letter of Credit Obligations (specifying the amount of any Reimbursement Obligations) due and payable to an Issuer, and (vii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower, whether such sum constitutes principal or interest (and the type of Loan to which it applies), fees, expenses or other amounts due under the Loan Documents and each Lender’s and Issuer’s, as the case may be, share thereof, if applicable.

 

75











 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including the Notes evidencing such Loans) and the Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations and the right, title, and interest of the Lenders and the Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register.  A Note shall only evidence the Lender’s or a registered assignee’s right, title and interest in and to the related Loan, and in no event is any such Note to be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.  This Section 2.7(b) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations) shall be construed so that the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (or any successor provisions of the Code or such regulations).

 

(c)                                  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts therein maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligations of the Borrower to repay the Loans owing by it in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or as an Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or Issuer shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Issuer at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, in the event that any Lender requests that the Borrower execute and deliver a promissory note or notes payable to such Lender in order to evidence the Indebtedness owing to such Lender by the Borrower hereunder, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver a Note or Notes to such Lender evidencing any Term Loans and Revolving Loans, as the case may be, of such Lender, substantially in the forms of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Note) or Exhibit B-2 (Form of Term Loan Note), respectively.

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.8(a) or (b) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing of all of the Facilities, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

 

(d)                                 If on or prior to the date six months after the First Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Borrower makes any prepayment of Initial Term Loans in connection with any Repricing Transaction in respect of such Term Loans, or (ii) effects any amendment of this Agreement resulting in a Repricing Transaction, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender in respect of the Initial Term Loans, (A) in the case of clause (i), a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the amount of such Initial Term Loans being prepaid and (B) in the case of clause (ii), a payment equal to 1.00% of the aggregate amount of Initial Term Loans outstanding immediately prior to such amendment that are the subject of such Repricing Transaction.

Each acceptance of a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment by a Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lender shall be irrevocable.  Any Lender whose Specified Discounted Prepayment Response is not received by the Auction Agent by the Specified Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined to accept the applicable Borrower Offer of Specified Discounted Prepayment.

 

(C)                               If there is at least one Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lender, the Borrower will make a prepayment of outstanding Loans pursuant to this clause (C) to each Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amount and Tranche of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Specified Discounted Prepayment Response given pursuant to clause (B) of this clause (e)(ii); provided, that, if the aggregate principal amount of any Tranche of Term Loans accepted for prepayment by all Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lenders exceeds the Specified Discounted Prepayment Amount with respect to such Tranche of Term Loans, then such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lenders in accordance with the respective principal amounts of the Term Loans of such Tranche accepted to be prepaid by each such Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Specified Discount Proration”).

(iii)                               (A)  Subject to the proviso to clause (e)(i) above, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, solicit Discount Range Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice in the form of a Discount Range Prepayment Notice; provided, that (1) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans on an individual Tranche basis, (2) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Discount Range Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Tranche of Term Loans subject to such offer and the maximum and minimum percentage discounts to par (the “Discount Range”) of the principal amount of such Term Loans to be prepaid (it being understood that different Discount Ranges and/or Discount Range Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to each Tranche of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as a separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section) and the Type(s) of Term Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans, (3) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (4) each such solicitation shall remain outstanding through the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date (as defined below).

(B)                               The Auction Agent shall review all Discount Range Prepayment Offers which were received on or before the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Response Date and shall determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the Applicable Discount (as defined below) and the Term Loans to be prepaid at such Applicable Discount in accordance with this clause (e)(iii).  The Borrower agrees to accept on the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date all Discount Range Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, in the order from the Submitted Discount that is the largest discount to par to the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par, up to and including the Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range (such Submitted Discount that is the smallest discount to par within the Discount Range being referred to as the “Applicable Discount”) which yields a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment in an aggregate principal amount equal to the lower of (a) the Discount Range Prepayment Amount and (b) the sum of all Submitted Amounts.  Each Lender that has submitted a Discount Range Prepayment Offer to accept prepayment at a discount to par that is larger than or equal to the Applicable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Submitted Amount (subject to any required proration pursuant to the following clause (C)) at the Applicable Discount (each such Lender, a “Participating Lender”).

 

(C)                               If there is at least one Participating Lender, the Borrower will make a prepayment of outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause (C) to each Participating Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amount and Tranche of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Discount Range Prepayment Offer given pursuant to clause (A) of this clause (e)(iii) at the Applicable Discount; provided, that if the Submitted Amount with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans by all Participating Lenders offered at a discount to par greater than the Applicable Discount exceeds the Discount Range Prepayment Amount with respect to such Tranche, then such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Participating Lenders in accordance with the respective Submitted Amount with respect to such Tranche of Term Loans of each such Participating Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Discount Range Proration”).  The Auction Agent shall promptly, and in any case within five Business Days following the Discount Range Prepayment Response Date, notify (a) the Borrower of the respective Lenders’ responses to such solicitation, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount and the aggregate principal amount of the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranche of Term Loans to be prepaid, (b) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Applicable Discount and the aggregate principal amount and the Tranche of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (c) each

Participating Lender of the aggregate principal amount, Tranche and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date and (d) if applicable, each Participating Lender of the Discount Range Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with clause (e)(vi) below (subject to clause (f) below).

 

(iv)                              (A)  Subject to the proviso to clause (e)(i) above, the Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, solicit Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers by providing the Auction Agent with five Business Days’ notice in the form of a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice; provided, that (1) any such solicitation shall be extended, at the sole discretion of the Borrower, to (x) each Lender and/or (y) each Lender with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans on an individual Tranche basis, (2) any such notice shall specify the maximum aggregate principal amount offered to be prepaid (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount”) with respect to each applicable Tranche of Term Loans at a discount (it being understood that different Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amounts may be offered with respect to each Tranche of Term Loans and, in such event, each such offer will be treated as separate offer pursuant to the terms of this Section) and the Type(s) of Term Loans to be prepaid and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Term Loans, (3) the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and whole increments of $500,000 in excess thereof and (4) each such solicitation by the Borrower shall remain outstanding through the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  The Auction Agent will promptly provide each applicable Lender with a copy of such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice and a form of the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer to be submitted by a responding Lender to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) by no later than 5:00 p.m. on the third Business Day (or such longer period as may be specified in the applicable Discount Range Prepayment Offer) after the date of delivery of such notice to such Lenders (the “Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date”).  Each Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer shall (x) be irrevocable, (y) remain outstanding until the Acceptance Date and (z) specify both a discount to par (the “Offered Discount”) at which such Lender is willing to allow prepayment of its then outstanding Term Loan and the maximum aggregate principal amount and Tranches of such Term Loans (the “Offered Amount”) such Lender is willing to have prepaid at the Offered Discount.  Any Lender whose Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer is not received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date shall be deemed to have declined prepayment of any of its Term Loans at any discount with respect to the applicable Borrower Solicitation of Discounted Prepayment Offers.

 

82









 

(B)          The Auction Agent shall promptly provide the Borrower with a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received on or before the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date.  The Borrower shall review all such Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers and select the smallest of the Offered Discounts specified by the relevant responding Lenders in the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers that is acceptable to the Borrower (the “Acceptable Discount”), if any.  If the Borrower elects to accept any Offered Discount as the Acceptable Discount, then as soon as practicable after the determination of the Acceptable Discount, but in no event later than by the third Business Day after the date of receipt by the Borrower from the Auction Agent of a copy of all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers pursuant to the first sentence of this clause (B) (the “Acceptance Date”), the Borrower shall submit an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice to the Auction Agent setting forth the Acceptable Discount.  If the Auction Agent shall fail to receive an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice from the Borrower by the Acceptance Date, the Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers.

 

(C)          Based upon the Acceptable Discount and the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, within three Business Days after receipt of an Acceptance and Prepayment Notice (the “Discounted Prepayment Determination Date”), the Auction Agent will determine (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) the aggregate principal amount and the Term Loans (the “Acceptable Prepayment Amount”) to be prepaid by the Borrower at the Acceptable Discount in accordance with this clause (e)(iv).  If the Borrower elects to accept any Acceptable Discount, then the Borrower agrees to accept all Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offers received by the Auction Agent by the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, in the order from largest Offered Discount to smallest Offered Discount, up to and including the Acceptable Discount.  Each Lender that has submitted a Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer with an Offered Discount that is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount shall be deemed to have irrevocably consented to prepayment of Term Loans equal to its Offered Amount (subject to any required pro rata reduction pursuant to the following sentence) at the Acceptable Discount (each such Lender, a “Qualifying Lender”).  The Borrower will make a prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this clause (e)(iv) to each Qualifying Lender in accordance with the respective outstanding principal amount and Tranche of Term Loans specified in such Lender’s Solicited Discounted Prepayment Offer at the Acceptable Discount; provided, that if the aggregate Offered Amount with respect to any Tranche of Term Loans by all Qualifying Lenders whose Offered Discount is greater than or equal to the Acceptable Discount exceeds the Solicited Discounted Prepayment Amount with respect to such Tranche of Term Loans, then such prepayment shall be made pro rata among the Qualifying Lenders in accordance with the respective Offered Amount with

 

83











 

respect to such Tranche of Term Loans of each such Qualifying Lender and the Auction Agent (in consultation with the Borrower and subject to rounding requirements of the Auction Agent made in its sole reasonable discretion) will calculate such proration (the “Solicited Discount Proration”).  On or prior to the Discounted Prepayment Determination Date, the Auction Agent shall promptly notify (a) the Borrower of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and Acceptable Prepayment Amount comprising the Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and the Tranche of Term Loans to be prepaid, (b) each Lender of the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date, the Acceptable Discount and the Acceptable Prepayment Amount of all Term Loans and the Tranche of Term Loans to be prepaid at the Applicable Discount on such date, (c) each Qualifying Lender of the aggregate principal amount, Tranche and Type of Term Loans of such Lender to be prepaid at the Acceptable Discount on such date and (d) if applicable, each Qualifying Lender of the Solicited Discount Proration.  Each determination by the Auction Agent of the amounts stated in the foregoing notices to the Borrower and Lenders shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error.  The payment amount specified in such notice to the Borrower shall be due and payable by the Borrower on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in accordance with clause (e)(vi) below (subject to clause (f) below).

 

(v)           In connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may require, as a condition to any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment, the payment by the Borrower of fees and expenses of the Auction Agent in connection therewith, as agreed to by the Auction Agent and the Borrower.

 

(vi)          If any Term Loans are prepaid in accordance with clauses (e)(ii) through (iv) of this Section 2.8(e), the Borrower shall prepay such Term Loans on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  The Borrower shall make such prepayment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lenders, the Participating Lenders or the Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date and all such prepayments shall be applied to the remaining principal installments of the relevant Tranche or Tranches of Term Loans on a pro rata basis across such installments.  The Term Loans so prepaid shall be accompanied by all accrued and unpaid interest on the par principal amount so prepaid up to, but not including, the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date.  Each prepayment of the outstanding Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.8(e) shall be paid to the Discounted Prepayment Accepting Lenders, Participating Lenders, or Qualifying Lenders, as applicable, and shall be applied to the relevant Term Loans of such Lenders in the manner specified in the applicable subsection of this Section 2.8(e).  The aggregate principal amount of, and the remaining installments of, each Tranche of Term Loans shall be deemed reduced by the full par value of the

 

84











 

aggregate principal amount of such Tranche of Term Loans prepaid on the Discounted Prepayment Effective Date in any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment.

 

(vii)         To the extent not expressly provided for herein, each Discounted Term Loan Prepayment shall be consummated pursuant to procedures consistent with the provisions in this Section 2.8(e) or as may otherwise be established from time to time by the Auction Agent acting in its reasonable discretion and agreed to by the Borrower.

 

(viii)        Notwithstanding anything in any Loan Document to the contrary, for purposes of this Section 2.8(e), each notice or other communication required to be delivered or otherwise provided to the Auction Agent (or its delegate) shall be deemed to have been given upon the Auction Agent’s (or such delegate’s) actual receipt during normal business hours of such notice or communication; provided, that any notice or communication actually received outside of normal business hours shall be deemed to have been given as of the opening of business on the next succeeding Business Day.

 

(ix)          The Borrower and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the Auction Agent may perform any and all of its duties under this Section 2.8(e) by itself or through any Affiliate of the Auction Agent and expressly consents to any such delegation of duties by the Auction Agent to such Affiliate and the performance of such delegated duties by such Affiliate.  The exculpatory provisions pursuant to this Agreement shall apply to each Affiliate of the Auction Agent and its respective activities in connection with any Discounted Term Loan Prepayment provided for in this Section 2.8(e) as well as activities of the Auction Agent.

 

(f)            The Borrower shall have the right, by written notice to the Auction Agent, to revoke in full (but not in part) its offer to make a Discounted Term Loan Prepayment and rescind the applicable Specified Discounted Prepayment Notice, Discount Range Prepayment Notice or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Notice therefor at its discretion at any time on or prior to the applicable Specified Discounted Prepayment Response Date, Discount Range Prepayment Response Date or Solicited Discounted Prepayment Response Date, respectively (and if such offer is revoked pursuant to the preceding clauses, any failure by the Borrower to make any prepayment to a Lender, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.8(e) (Optional Prepayments) shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default).

Each such Lender may exercise its option to refuse such amount by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the last Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender that does not notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the last Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option (each such Lender, a “Non-Declining Lender”)).

Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere herein, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b) or (f) (Events of Default) and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and the amount of all other Obligations then due and payable shall bear interest at a rate that is two percent per annum in excess of the rate of interest applicable to such Loans or other Obligations from time to time.  Such interest shall be payable on the date that would otherwise be applicable to such interest pursuant to clause (b) above or otherwise on demand.

 

Section 2.11       Conversion/Continuation Option

 

(a)           The Borrower may elect (i) at any time on any Business Day to convert Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans) or any portion thereof to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) at the end of any applicable Interest Period, (A) to convert Eurodollar Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Base Rate Loans or (B) to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans, or any portion thereof, for an additional Interest Period; provided, however, that (i) the aggregate amount of the Base Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) the aggregate amount of the Eurodollar Rate Loans for each Interest Period must be in the amount of at least $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each conversion or continuation shall be allocated among the Loans of each Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion.  Each such election shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit F (Form of Notice of Conversion or Continuation) (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) and shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior written notice specifying (A) the amount and type of Loan being converted or continued, (B) in the case of a conversion to or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the applicable Interest Period and (C) in the case of a conversion, the date of such conversion.

 

(b)           The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of Eurodollar Rate Loans upon the expiration of any applicable Interest Period shall be permitted at any time at which (i) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or (ii) the continuation of, or conversion into, a Eurodollar Rate Loan would violate any provision of Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans).  If, within the time period required under the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent does not receive a Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue any Eurodollar Rate Loans for an additional Interest Period or to convert any such Loans, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loans shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Loans.  Each Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be irrevocable.

Section 2.12       Fees

 

(a)           Unused Commitment Fee.  The Borrower agrees to pay in immediately available Dollars to each Revolving Credit Lender a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Revolving Credit Lender exceeds the sum of (A) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and (B) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Ratable Portion of the outstanding amount of the aggregate Letter of Credit Obligations (the “Unused Commitment Fee”) from the Closing Date through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate, payable in arrears (x) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

(b)           Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the following amounts with respect to Letters of Credit issued by any Issuer:

 

(i)            to the applicable Issuer of a Letter of Credit, with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuer, an issuance fee not greater than 0.25% per annum of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (A) (1) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (2) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date or (B) on such other dates as agreed to by the Borrower and the applicable Issuer;

 

(ii)           to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Credit Lenders, with respect to each Letter of Credit, a fee accruing in Dollars at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans that are Eurodollar Rate Loans on the Revolving Credit Lenders’ Ratable Portion of the Dollar Equivalent of the maximum undrawn face amount of such Letter of Credit, payable in arrears (1) on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing on the first such Business Day following the issuance of such Letter of Credit and (2) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and

 

(iii)          to the Issuer of any Letter of Credit, with respect to the issuance, amendment or transfer of each Letter of Credit and each drawing made thereunder, customary documentary and processing charges in accordance with such Issuer’s standard schedule for such charges in effect at the time of issuance, amendment, transfer or drawing, as the case may be.

 

(c)           Defaulting Lender Fees.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above (without prejudice to the rights of the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees); provided, that (i) to the extent that a Ratable Portion of the Letter of

 

90











 

Credit Obligations or Swing Loans of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.18(a) (Defaulting Lender), such fees that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders, pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, and (ii) to the extent any portion of such Letter or Credit Obligations or Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated and the Borrower has not provided cash collateral, such fees will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to the Issuer and the Swing Lender as their interests appear (and the pro rata payment provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will automatically be deemed adjusted to reflect the provisions of this Section 2.12(c) (Fees)).

 

(d)           Additional Fees.  The Borrower has agreed to pay to the Agents and the Arrangers, as applicable, additional fees, the amount and dates of payment of which are embodied in the Fee Letter, the Engagement Letter and the First Amendment Engagement Letter.

 

Section 2.13       Payments and Computations

 

(a)           The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder (including fees and expenses) not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the day when due, in the currency specified herein (or, if no such currency is specified, in Dollars) to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) in immediately available funds without set-off or counterclaim.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the applicable Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in clause (f) or (g) below, as applicable, for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices; provided, however, that amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.16 (Taxes) shall be paid only to the affected Lender or Lenders and amounts payable with respect to Swing Loans shall be paid only to the applicable Swing Lender.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

(b)           All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or 365/366 days in the case of Obligations bearing interest at the Base Rate and the Applicable Unused Commitment Fee Rate), in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest and fees are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of a rate of interest hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

(c)           Each payment by the Borrower of any Loan, Reimbursement Obligation (including interest or fees in respect thereof) and each reimbursement of various costs, expenses or other Obligation shall be made in the currency in which such Loan was made, such Letter of Credit issued or such cost, expense or other Obligation 

 

91











 

was incurred; provided, however, that (i) the Letter of Credit Reimbursement Agreement  for a Letter of Credit may specify another currency for the Reimbursement Obligation in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) other than for payments in respect of a Loan or Reimbursement Obligation, Loan Documents duly executed by the Administrative Agent or any Hedging Contract may specify other currencies of payment for Obligations created by or directly related to such Loan Document or Hedging Contract.

 

(d)           Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of any Eurodollar Rate Loan to be made in the next calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.  All repayments of any Loans denominated in Dollars shall be applied to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans as notified by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing (which writing may be by telecopy or electronic mail) not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day prior to the scheduled date of such payment, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Eurodollar Interest Periods; provided, however, that if the Borrower fails to so notify the Administrative Agent, such payment shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans.

 

(e)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders prior to the date on which any payment is due hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each applicable Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon (in the case of the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter, at the rate applicable to Base Rate Loans) for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.

 

(f)            Except for payments and other amounts received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with the provisions of clause (g) below (or required to be applied in accordance with Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments)), all payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied as follows: first, to pay principal of, and interest on, any portion of the Loans the Administrative Agent may have advanced pursuant to the express provisions of this Agreement on behalf of any Lender, for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower,

 

92









 

second, to pay all other Obligations then due and payable and third, as the Borrower so designates.  Payments in respect of Swing Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to the applicable Swing Lender; payments in respect of Revolving Loans received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Revolving Credit Lender in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Facility; payments in respect of Term Loans in any Tranche received by the Administrative Agent shall be distributed to each Term Lender holding Term Loans in such Tranche in accordance with such Lender’s Ratable Portion of such Tranche; and all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders and Issuers as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.  Subject to Section 2.22(c) (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), each repayment or prepayment of Loans shall be applied ratably among Tranches of Loans then outstanding, except as may otherwise be set forth in any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment (it being understood that the Net Cash Proceeds of any Loan Agreement Refinancing Debt shall be applied solely to each applicable Tranche of Refinanced Debt pro rata among the Lenders holding Term Loans in the applicable Tranches).  All payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligation shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto and, for such payments allocated to the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Ratable Portions.

 

(g)           The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to direct the application of any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and clause (f) above, the Administrative Agent may, and, upon either (A) the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or (B) the acceleration of the Obligations pursuant to Section 9.2 (Remedies) shall, apply all payments in respect of any Obligations and all funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account and all other proceeds of Collateral in the following order:

 

(i)            first, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent;

 

(ii)           second, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Agents (other than the Administrative Agent), the Lenders and the Issuers;

 

(iii)          third, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees then due to the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuers;

 

(iv)          fourth, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations;

 

93











 

(v)           fifth, to pay or prepay principal amounts on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, to provide cash collateral for outstanding Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts in the manner described in Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit) and to pay Cash Management Obligations and amounts owing with respect to Hedging Contracts, ratably to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and Letter of Credit Undrawn Amounts, Cash Management Obligations and Obligations owing with respect to Hedging Contracts; and

 

(vi)          sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations;

 

provided, however, that if sufficient funds are not available to fund all payments to be made in respect of any Obligation described in any of clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above, the available funds being applied with respect to any such Obligation (unless otherwise specified in such clause) shall be allocated to the payment of such Obligation ratably, based on the proportion of each Agent’s and each Lender’s or Issuer’s interest in the aggregate outstanding Obligations described in such clauses; provided, further, that payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be allocated first to pay interest on and principal of any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to repay Swing Loans until such Loans are repaid in full and then to repay the Revolving Loans.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v) and (vi) above may at any time and from time to time be changed by the agreement of the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Secured Party that is not a Lender or Issuer or by any other Person that is not a Lender or Issuer.  The order of priority set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above may be changed with respect to amounts owing to any Agent only with the prior written consent of such Agent.

 

(h)           If any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments in respect of the Obligations and any proceeds of Collateral due to it from or for the benefit of the Borrower to the Non-Defaulting Lenders for application to, and reduction of, their Ratable Portion of all Obligations until such Non-Defaulting Lenders have been repaid in full.  Such Defaulting Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to distribute such payments to the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with Section 2.9(c) (Mandatory Prepayments) and this Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations).  This Section 2.13(h) (Payments and Computations) shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction of the Borrower as to its desired application of payments.

 

Section 2.14       Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans

 

(a)           Determination of Interest Rate

 

94











 

The Eurodollar Rate for each Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be determined by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of “Eurodollar Rate.”  The Administrative Agent’s determination shall be presumed to be correct absent manifest error and shall be binding on the Borrower and the Lenders.

 

(b)           [Reserved]

 

(c)           Illegality

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order after the Closing Date shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make Eurodollar Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans and to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and each such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.  If, at any time after a Lender gives notice under this clause (d), such Lender determines that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.  The Borrower’s right to request, and such Lender’s obligation, if any, to make Eurodollar Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.

 

(d)           Breakage Costs

 

In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10 (Interest), the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason (other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender) a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion or Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion or continuation or a successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 2.11 (Conversion/Continuation Option), (ii) if for any reason any Eurodollar Rate Loan is prepaid (including mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.9 (Mandatory Prepayments)) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in clause (d) above or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when

 

95











 

required by the terms hereof.  The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written statement as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and this statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes as to the amount of compensation due to such Lender, absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.15       Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy

 

(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) or any Issuer;

 

(ii)           subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of “Excluded Taxes” and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

 

(iii)          impose on any Lender or any Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

(b)           Capital Adequacy.  If at any time any Lender determines that a Change in Law shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s (or any corporation controlling such Lender’s) capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or under or in respect of any Letter of Credit to a level below that which such Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change, compliance or interpretation, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such

 

96











 

reduction.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes absent manifest error; provided, that such Lender’s demand for payment of such costs hereunder, and such method of allocation is not inconsistent with its treatment of other borrowers which, as a credit matter, are similarly situated to the Borrower and which are subject to similar provisions.

 

Section 2.16       Taxes

 

(a)           Issuer.  For Purposes of this Section 2.16, the term “Lender” includes any Issuer.

 

(b)           Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of the Borrower under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes, except as required by law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(c)           Payments of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority, in accordance with applicable law, or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

 

(d)           Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after 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) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any 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.  A certificate as to the amount of 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.

 

(e)           Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and

 

97











 

without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations), (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).

 

(f)            Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.16, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(g)           Status of Lenders.  (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.16(g) (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)           Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,

 

(A)          any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9

 

98











 

certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;

 

(B)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(i)            in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

(ii)           executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

 

(iii)          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 L-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or 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 IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

(iv)          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 L-2 or Exhibit L-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

 

99











 

exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit L-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C)          any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)          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 clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

 

(h)           Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If a Recipient determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund or credit of any Indemnified Taxes as to which additional amounts have been paid or as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.16, it shall pay over such refund or credit to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid), net of expenses of such Recipient; provided, however, that the Borrower, upon the request of the Recipient,

 

100











 

shall repay to such Recipient the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) that is required to be repaid after receipt of written notice setting forth in reasonable detail a calculation of such amount and certifying that the Recipient is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified Recipient be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place such Recipient in a less favorable after-tax position than such party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any Recipient to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person or to require any Recipient to apply for a refund of Taxes.

 

(i)            Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.16 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

 

Section 2.17       Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lenders

 

(a)           Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy), or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes), then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) 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 judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes), as the case may be, in the future, and (ii) 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.

 

(b)           Replacement of Lenders.  (i) In the event that (i)(A) any Lender makes a claim under Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy), (B) it becomes illegal for any Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan and such Lender notifies the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), (C) any Loan Party is required to make any payment pursuant to Section 2.16 (Taxes) that is attributable to a particular Lender or (D) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender and (ii) in the case of clause (i)(A) above, as a consequence of increased costs in respect of which such claim is made, the effective rate of interest payable to such Lender under this Agreement with respect to its Loans materially exceeds the effective average annual rate of interest payable to the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), the Borrower may substitute any Lender and, if reasonably

 

101











 

acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Eligible Assignee (a “Substitute Institution”) for such Affected Lender hereunder, after delivery of a written notice (a “Substitution Notice”) by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender within a reasonable time (in any case not to exceed 90 days) following the occurrence of any of the events described in clause (i) above that the Borrower intends to make such substitution.

 

(ii)           If the Substitution Notice was properly issued under this Section 2.17, the Affected Lender shall sell, and the Substitute Institution shall purchase, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents and the Substitute Institution shall assume, and the Affected Lender shall be relieved of, the Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments and all other prior unperformed obligations of the Affected Lender under the Loan Documents (other than in respect of any damages (which pursuant to Section 11.5 (Limitation of Liability), do not include exemplary or punitive damages, to the extent permitted by applicable law) in respect of any such unperformed obligations).  Such purchase and sale (and the corresponding assignment of all rights and claims hereunder) shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and shall be effective on (and not earlier than) the later of (i) the receipt by the Affected Lender of its Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings, the Term Loans, together with any other Obligations owing to it, (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to it and the Borrower whereby the Substitute Institution shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (iii) the payment in full to the Affected Lender in cash of all fees, unreimbursed costs and expenses and indemnities accrued and unpaid through such effective date.  Upon the effectiveness of such sale, purchase and assumption, the Substitute Institution shall become a “Lender” hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement having a Commitment in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Commitment assumed by it and such Commitment of the Affected Lender shall be terminated; provided, however, that all indemnities under the Loan Documents shall continue in favor of such Affected Lender.

 

(iii)          Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes an Affected Lender and its rights and claims are assigned hereunder to a Substitute Institution pursuant to this Section 2.17(b), it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such assignment, together with any Note (if such Loans are evidenced by a Note) evidencing the Loans subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such assignment invalid.

 

Section 2.18       Defaulting Lender

 

(a)           Reallocation of Defaulting Lender Commitment.  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions

 

102











 

shall apply with respect to any outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans:

 

(i)            the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the date such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s Ratable Portion of the Revolving Credit Outstandings may not in any event exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation and (B) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Issuer, any Swing Lender or any other Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that to the extent that amounts are reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance with this clause (i) and any cash collateral was provided pursuant to clause (ii)(A) below with respect to any such Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, the cash collateral requirement pursuant to such clause (ii)(A) will terminate and the each applicable Issuer and Swing Lender will cause any cash collateral posted with respect to their respective Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, as the case may be, to be returned to the Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral;

 

(ii)           to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Ratable Portion of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Obligations and any outstanding Swing Loans cannot be so reallocated, the Borrower will promptly, and in no event later than 10 Business Days after any demand by the Administrative Agent (at the direction of the Issuer and/or the Swing Lender, as the case may be), (A)(x) cash collateralize the obligations of the Borrower to the Issuers in respect of such Letter of Credit Obligations, in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated portion of such Letter of Credit Obligations on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuer and (y) in the case of such outstanding Swing Loans, prepay (subject to clause (iii) below) and/or cash collateralize (on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Swing Lender) in full the unreallocated portion thereof, or (B) make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, and to the Issuers and the Swing Lender, as the case may be, in their sole discretion to protect them against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender, in each case without duplications with respect to any prior actions taken with respect to such Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans pursuant to clause (b) below; and

 

(iii)          any amount paid by the Borrower for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal,

 

103









 

interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated, non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder in respect of the Revolving Credit Facility and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuer or the Swing Lender (pro rata as to the respective amounts owing to each of them) under this Agreement, third to the payment of post-default interest and then current interest due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them, fourth to the payment of fees then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such fees then due and payable to them, fifth to pay principal and Reimbursement Obligations then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them, sixth to the ratable payment of other amounts then due and payable to the Non-Defaulting Lenders, and seventh after the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

(b)           Termination of Defaulting Lender Commitments.  The Borrower may terminate the unused amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon not less than 10 Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.13 (Payments and Computations) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts); provided, that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuer, the Swing Lender or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.

 

(c)           Cure.  If the Borrower, Administrative Agent, the Issuer and the Swing Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the closing date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any amounts then held in the segregated account referred to in Section 2.18(a) (Defaulting Lender)), (i) such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to

 

104











 

cause such Lender’s Ratable Portion to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender; provided, that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender and (ii) the cash collateral requirements set forth in this Section 2.18 will terminate and the each applicable Issuer and Swing Lender will cause any cash collateral posted with respect to their respective Letter of Credit Obligations or Swing Loans, as the case may be, to be returned to the Borrower subject to any terms relating to such cash collateral; provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

(d)           Notices.  The Administrative Agent will promptly send to each Lender and Issuer a copy of any notice to the Borrower provided for in this Section 2.18.

 

Section 2.19       Facility Increases.

 

(a)           Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including Section 2.22 (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), the Borrower may request, from any Lender or any New Lender, with at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) new term loans under one or more new term loan credit facilities to be included in this Agreement (the “New Incremental Term Loan”) and/or (ii) increases in the amount of Revolving Credit Commitments (any such new commitments, collectively, the “New Incremental Revolving Commitments” and, any loans made thereunder, the “New Incremental Revolving Loans”, together with the New Incremental Term Loans, the “New Incremental Loans”), the proceeds of which, in each case, may be used for general corporate purposes (such increase of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, a “Facility Increase”).

 

(b)           Terms.  The terms of such New Incremental Term Loans, the New Incremental Revolving Commitments or New Incremental Revolving Loans, as the case may be, shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders or New Lenders providing such New Incremental Loans; provided, that:

 

(i)            such New Incremental Term Loans shall (A) have a final maturity no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date and a Weighted Average Life to Maturity no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any existing Tranche of Term Loans; (B) have Applicable Margins and amortization schedules determined by the Borrower and the Lenders or New Lenders with respect thereto (provided, that in the event the All-in Yield applicable to any New Incremental Term Loans shall be more than 0.50% higher than the All-in Yield then applicable to any existing Tranche of Term Loans, the Applicable Margin with respect to any such existing Tranche of Term Loans shall be increased so

 

105











 

that the All-in Yield applicable to any such existing Tranche of Term Loans following the applicable effective date of the Facility Increase is equal to the All-in Yield applicable to the New Incremental Term Loans minus 0.50%), provided, that in determining the applicable All-in Yield for the Initial Term Loans and the New Incremental Term Loan, (1) OID or upfront fees payable generally to all lenders providing such New Incremental Term Loan in lieu of OID (which shall be deemed to constitute like amounts of OID) payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under the Initial Term Loans or any New Incremental Term Loan in the initial primary syndication thereof shall be included (with OID being equated to interest based on an assumed four-year life to maturity), (2) any arrangement, structuring or other fees payable in connection with the New Incremental Term Loan that are not shared with all Lenders providing such New Incremental Term Loan shall be excluded; (3) any amendments to the Applicable Margin on the Initial Term Loans that became effective subsequent to the Closing Date but prior to the time of such New Incremental Term Loan shall also be included in such calculations and (4) if the New Incremental Term Loans include an interest rate floor greater than the interest rate floor applicable to the Initial Term Loans, such increased amount shall be equated to the applicable interest rate margin for purposes of determining whether an increase to the Applicable Margin for the Initial Term Loans shall be required, to the extent an increase in the interest rate floor for the Initial Term Loans would cause an increase in the interest rate then in effect thereunder, and in such case the interest rate floor (but not the Applicable Margin) applicable to the Initial Term Loans, respectively, shall be increased by such amount; and (C) otherwise be on terms, to the extent not identical to the terms of the Initial Term Loans, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; and

 

(ii)           such New Incremental Revolving Commitments and New Incremental Revolving Loans shall be identical to the Revolving Credit Commitments and the Revolving Loans.

 

(c)           Procedures.  In connection with any Facility Increase after the First Amendment Effective Date:

 

(i)            such Facility Increase shall be in an aggregate principal amount not in excess of the Facility Increase Allowance; provided, that each request for New Incremental Loans shall be for a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) the entire amount that may be requested under this Section 2.19(c); and

 

(ii)           in the event there are Lenders and New Lenders that have committed to New Incremental Loans in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Administrative Agent shall have the right to allocate such commitments on a basis the Administrative Agent reasonably determines is appropriate in consultation with the Borrower.  Upon the applicable Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Effective Date, the Administrative Agent shall

 

106











 

promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such New Incremental Loans.

 

(d)           New Incremental Notes.

 

(i)            The Borrower may from time to time, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, specifying in reasonable detail the proposed terms thereof, request to issue one or more series of senior secured notes which shall have the same Lien priority as the Obligations (such notes, collectively, “New Incremental Notes”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the Facility Increase Allowance (at the time of issuance); provided, that any such issuance of New Incremental Notes shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 and (y) the entire amount that may be requested under this Section 2.19(d).

 

(ii)           As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any New Incremental Notes pursuant to this Section, (A) the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate dated as of the date of issuance of the New Incremental Notes signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrower (to the extent the Borrower is an issuer of New Incremental Notes) approving or consenting to the effectiveness of such New Incremental Notes, and certifying that the conditions precedent set forth in the following clauses (B) through (F) have been satisfied, (B) such New Incremental Notes shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor, (C) such New Incremental Notes will be secured only by the Collateral and subject to a Senior Intercreditor Agreement, (D) such New Incremental Notes shall have a final maturity no earlier than 91 days after the Latest Maturity Date, (E) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such New Incremental Notes shall not be shorter than that of any outstanding Tranche of Term Loans, and (F) such New Incremental Notes shall not be subject to any mandatory redemption or prepayment provisions or rights (except to the extent any such mandatory redemption or prepayment is required to be applied pro rata to the Term Loans and other Indebtedness that is secured on a pari passu basis with the Obligations).

 

(iii)          The effectiveness of any New Incremental Notes shall also be subject, to the extent reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to receipt by the Administrative Agent of board resolutions, officers’ certificates and/or reaffirmation agreements, including any supplements or amendments to the Collateral Documents providing for such New Incremental Notes to be secured thereby.  The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to secure any New Incremental Notes with the Collateral and/or to make such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the issuance of such New Incremental Notes, in each case on terms consistent with this Section 2.19(d).

 

107











 

Section 2.20       Amend and Extend Transactions

 

(a)           Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including Section 2.22 (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), the Borrower and any Lender may agree, by at least 10 Business Days’ (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (each such notice, an “Extension Notice”), to extend (an “Extension”) (i) the Revolving Credit Termination Date of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche (any such Revolving Credit Commitment that has been so extended, any “Extended Revolving Commitment” and any credit extensions issued pursuant thereto, an “Extended Revolving Loan”) and/or (ii) the maturity date of such Lender’s Term Loans of any Tranche (any such Term Loan that has been so extended, the “Extended Term Loan”, and collectively, with the Extended Revolving Loans, the “Extended Loans”)  to the extended maturity date specified in such Extension Notice and Extension Amendment.

 

(b)           Terms.  The terms of such Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders providing such Extended Loans; provided, that:

 

(i)            the final maturity date of (A) any Extended Term Loan shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Term Loan and (B) any Extended Revolving Commitment shall be no earlier than the Latest Maturity Date of any Revolving Credit Commitment;

 

(ii)           the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the (A) Extended Term Loans shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Loans of any existing Tranche of Term Loans and (B) Extended Revolving Commitments shall be no shorter than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Revolving Credit Commitments of any existing Tranche of Revolving Credit Commitments;

 

(iii)          the Extended Loans will rank pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with the Loans of any existing Tranche;

 

(iv)          none of the obligors or guarantors with respect to the Extended Loans shall be a Person that is not a Loan Party;

 

(v)           no Extended Loans shall be secured by or receive the benefit of any collateral, credit support or security that does not secure or support the Loans of any existing Tranche, as applicable;

 

(vi)          the interest rate margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discounts and premiums applicable to any Extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the lenders providing such Extended Loans;

 

108











 

(vii)         no Extended Term Loans may be optionally prepaid prior to the date on which the related non-extended Term Loans are repaid unless such optional prepayment is accompanied by a pro rata (or greater) optional prepayment of the related non-extended Loans; and

 

(viii)        to the extent the terms of the Extended Loans are inconsistent with the terms set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (i) through (vii) above), such terms shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)           Procedures.  In connection with any Extension:

 

(i)            the Borrower shall offer to all Lenders holding Loans in the applicable Tranche the opportunity to participate in any Extension on a pro rata basis and on the same terms and conditions to each of such Lenders (each such offer, an “Extension Offer”);

 

(ii)           any Extension consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.20 (Amend and Extend Transactions), shall be in a minimum amount of $50,000,000; provided that the Borrower may, at its election, specify as a condition to consummating any such Extension (which may be waived by the Borrower in the Borrower’s sole discretion) that a higher minimum amount (to be determined and specified in the relevant Extension Offer) be applied; and

 

(iii)          if the aggregate principal amount of Loans of such Tranche (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans of such Tranche offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders in such Tranche shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer.

 

Section 2.21       Refinancing Transactions

 

(a)           Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, including Section 2.22 (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), the Borrower may obtain, from any Lender or any New Lender, Refinancing Loans in respect of all or any portion of the Term Loans (or Tranche of Term Loans) then outstanding under this Agreement (which for purposes of this Section 2.21 (Refinancing Transactions) shall be deemed to include any then outstanding Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans).

 

(b)           Terms.  The terms of such Refinancing Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and the applicable Lenders or New Lenders providing such Refinancing Loans; provided, that:

 

109











 

(i)            such Refinancing Loans shall have a final maturity no earlier than the Refinanced Debt; and

 

(ii)           other terms of such Refinancing Loans, if not the same as the terms of the Refinanced Debt, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(c)           Procedures.  Each incurrence of Refinancing Loans pursuant to this Section 2.21 (Refinancing Transactions) shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than the lesser of (x) $50,000,000 and (y) the entire remaining amount of any outstanding Tranche of Term Loans.

 

Section 2.22       Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally

 

(a)           Amendment Documents.  The terms of any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans shall be established pursuant to an amendment to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each applicable Lender or New Lender providing such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans and the Administrative Agent (each such amendment, an “Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment”).  Each such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment and all other documentation in respect of such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Effective Date”) of such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment, which shall be promptly notified to the Lenders.  Upon the Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Effective Date, each applicable Lender or New Lender providing any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loan shall become a “Lender”, and such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loan shall be a “Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower shall agree to such procedures, if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent to accomplish the purposes of Sections 2.19 (Facility Increase), 2.20 (Amend and Extend Transactions), 2.21 (Refinancing Transactions) and this Section 2.22 (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), as appropriate.

 

(b)           No Obligation to Participate.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any New Incremental Loans or Refinancing Loans (or to agree to extend the maturity date of any Loan), unless it so agrees in its sole discretion.  Any Affiliated Lender that has committed to providing New Incremental Term Loans or Refinancing Loans shall be subject to the same restrictions set forth in Section 11.2(j) (Assignments and Participations) as they would otherwise be subject to with respect to any purchase by or assignment to such Affiliated Lender of Loans.  Affiliated Lenders may not provide New Incremental Revolving Commitments or New Incremental Revolving Loans.

 

110











 

(c)           Pro Rata Treatment.  The repayment (other than in connection with a scheduled repayment or a repayment at maturity) and the prepayment of any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans shall be made on a pro rata basis with all other outstanding Loans; provided, that if the applicable Lenders providing such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans so agree, such Lenders may participate on a less than pro rata basis in any repayment or prepayment hereunder; provided, further, that the Net Cash Proceeds of any Refinancing Loans shall be applied solely to each applicable Tranche of Refinanced Debt.

 

(d)           Effectiveness of Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment.  No Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment shall become effective unless all of the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            no Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment shall become effective unless the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 (Conditions Precedent to Each Loan) are satisfied as of the date of such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment (including the condition that as of the date of such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment, no event shall have occurred and be continuing or would result from the consummation of such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment that would constitute an Event of Default or a Default);

(i)                                     within forty-five (45) days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), cause each such Subsidiary that is (x) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary that is a Material Domestic Subsidiary, (y) a non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary that is a Domestic Subsidiary that has guaranteed the Indebtedness of any Loan Party or (z) a Foreign Subsidiary that has guaranteed the Indebtedness of any Domestic Loan Party, to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent a guaranty or guaranty supplement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, guaranteeing the Obligations of the Borrower; provided, that no such Subsidiary acquired in a Proposed Acquisition permitted hereunder shall be required to become a Guarantor to the extent that restrictions in any existing documents or instruments (not created in contemplation of such acquisition) evidencing Indebtedness would prevent such Subsidiary from becoming a Guarantor; provided, further, that any refinancing of such Indebtedness shall not contain such restrictions and such Subsidiary shall promptly become a Guarantor following any such refinancing or repayment of such Indebtedness; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Subsidiary acquired after the Closing Date, if the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent in writing within forty-five (45) days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), that it intends to merge such Subsidiary into a Loan Party, the Borrower shall have an additional forty-five (45) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), to effectuate such merger; provided, however, that if such Subsidiary is not merged with such Loan Party within such time period, the Borrower shall cause such Subsidiary to become a Guarantor within such period.

 

(ii)                                  cause each such Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7.11 to furnish to the Administrative Agent a description of the real properties owned and leased by such Subsidiary in detail reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent;

(iii)                               within ninety (90) days after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), cause each such Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7.11, at the request of the Administrative Agent, to duly execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent Mortgages, Mortgage Supporting Documents, joinders, amendments, Flood Certificate Documents and other Collateral Documents, as specified by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (consistent with the Mortgages, Mortgage Supporting Documents, Flood Certificate Documents and other Collateral Documents delivered under this Agreement), granting a Lien in substantially all of the personal property of such Subsidiary, all owned Real Property with a value in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $15,000,000 in the aggregate (excluding any owned Real Property with a value of less than $1,000,000 individually) for all such Subsidiaries (provided, that, if a mortgage tax will be owed, the amount secured by the Mortgage shall be limited to the fair market value of the property at the time the Mortgage is entered into), in each case, securing the Obligations of such Subsidiary under its Guaranty;

 

(iv)                              within thirty (30) days (or ninety (90) days in the case of the formation or acquisition of a Foreign Subsidiary) after such formation or acquisition (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its reasonable discretion), (x) cause each such Subsidiary that is required to become a Guarantor pursuant to this Section 7.11 to deliver any and all certificates, instruments and other documents representing all Pledged Stock, Pledged Debt Instruments and all other Stock, Stock Equivalents and other debt Securities owned by such Subsidiary accompanied by undated Stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed or endorsed in blank and (y) cause each Loan Party that is a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary that is required to provide a guaranty pursuant to this Section 7.11 to deliver any and all certificates, instruments or other documents representing the outstanding Stock or Stock Equivalents of such Subsidiary held by such direct or indirect parent, accompanied by undated Stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed in blank and instruments evidencing the intercompany debt issued by such Subsidiary and held by such direct or indirect parent, endorsed in blank to the Administrative Agent;

 

(v)                                 In furtherance of the foregoing, and subject to the grace periods set forth above, take and cause such Subsidiary and each Loan Party that is a direct or indirect parent of such Subsidiary to take whatever action (including the recording of Mortgages, the filing of UCC financing statements, the giving of notices and the endorsement of notices on title documents and delivery of Pledged Stock and Pledged Debt Instruments) as may be necessary in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent to vest in the Administrative Agent (or in any representative of the Administrative Agent designated by it) valid, perfected and enforceable first-priority Liens on the properties purported to be subject to the

 

135











 

Mortgages and other Collateral Documents delivered pursuant to this Section 7.11, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.), enforceable against all third parties in accordance with their terms; and

 

(vi)                              deliver to the Administrative Agent a signed copy of an opinion, addressed to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, of counsel for the Loan Parties reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent as to such matters set forth in this Section 7.11 as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

 

(b)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, (i) no Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO shall be obligated to guarantee the obligations of the Borrower (unless such Subsidiary or FSHCO is a guarantor of any Indebtedness of any Domestic Loan Party) and (ii) (A) no assets of any Foreign Subsidiary shall be required to be pledged to support obligations of the Borrower (unless such assets are pledged to support any Indebtedness of any Domestic Loan Party) and (B) no more than 65% of the voting stock (within the meaning of Section 956 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) of any Foreign Subsidiary or FSHCO shall be required to be pledged by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries to support the obligations of the Borrower (unless such stock has been pledged to support any Indebtedness of any Domestic Loan Party).

 

(c)                                  Upon the acquisition of (x) any personal property by any Loan Party (other than property that would constitute Excluded Property (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement)) or (y) fee owned Real Property with a value in excess of $5,000,000 individually or $15,000,000 in the aggregate (excluding any owned Real Property with a value of less than $1,000,000 individually) in the aggregate for all Loan Parties (provided, that if a mortgage tax will be owed, the amount secured by the Lien referred to below shall be limited to the fair market value of the property at the time the applicable Mortgage is entered into), and such personal property and/or fee owned Real Property shall not already be subject to a valid, perfected and enforceable first-priority Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, subject only to Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (Liens, Etc.), the Borrower shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after such acquisition and shall, if requested by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders, cause such assets to be subjected to a Lien securing the Obligations and will take, or cause the relevant Loan Party to take, such actions as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and perfect or record such Lien, including, without limitation, executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent Mortgages, Mortgage Supporting Documents, Flood Certificate Documents, joinders, amendments and other Collateral Documents, as specified by and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (consistent with the Mortgages, Mortgage Supporting Documents, Flood Certificate Documents and other Collateral Documents in effect on the Closing Date, if applicable).

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the Administrative Agent shall not take a security interest in those assets as to which the Administrative Agent shall

 

136











 

determine, in its reasonable discretion, that the cost of obtaining such Lien (including any mortgage, stamp, intangibles or other tax) are excessive in relation to the benefit to the Lenders of the security afforded thereby and (y) Liens required to be granted pursuant to this Section 7.11 shall be subject to exceptions and limitations consistent with those set forth in the Collateral Documents as in effect on the Closing Date (to the extent appropriate in the applicable jurisdiction).

 

Section 7.12                      Cash Collateral Accounts

 

The Administrative Agent may establish one or more Cash Collateral Accounts with such depositaries and securities intermediaries as it in its sole discretion shall determine.  The Borrower agrees that each such Cash Collateral Account shall meet the requirements set forth in the definition of “Cash Collateral Account”.  Without limiting the foregoing, funds on deposit in any Cash Collateral Account may be invested (but the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to make any such investment) in Cash Equivalents at the direction of the Administrative Agent and, except during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent agrees with the Borrower to issue Entitlement Orders for such investments in Cash Equivalents as requested by the Borrower; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for, or bear any risk of loss of, any such investment or income thereon.  None of the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party or Person claiming on behalf of or through the Borrower, any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have any right to demand payment of any funds held in any Cash Collateral Account at any time prior to the termination of all outstanding Letters of Credit and the payment in full of all then outstanding and payable monetary Obligations.

 

Section 7.13                      Designation of Unrestricted Subsidiaries

 

The board of directors of the Borrower may at any time designate any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary or any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary; provided, however, that (i) immediately before and after such designation, no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such designation, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be in compliance, on a Pro Forma Basis, with the covenants set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) (and, as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of any such designation, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the calculations demonstrating such compliance), (iii) no Subsidiary may be designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary if it is a “Restricted Subsidiary” for the purpose of any Indenture and (iv) no Unrestricted Subsidiary that is designated as a Subsidiary may be redesignated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary at any time prior to twelve (12) months after being so designated as a Subsidiary.  The designation of any Subsidiary as an Unrestricted Subsidiary shall constitute an Investment by the Borrower therein at the date of designation in an amount equal to the net book value of the Borrower’s Investment therein.  The designation of any Unrestricted Subsidiary as a Subsidiary shall constitute the incurrence at the time of designation of any Indebtedness or Liens of such Subsidiary existing at such time.

 

137











 

Section 7.14                      Post-Closing Matters

Section 9.2                             Remedies

 

During the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent (a) may, and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower declare that all or any portion of the Commitments be terminated, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan and each Issuer to Issue any Letter of Credit shall immediately terminate and (b) may and, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, shall, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans, all interest thereon and all other amounts and Obligations payable under this Agreement to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or further notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided, however, that upon the occurrence of the Events of Default specified in Section 9.1(f) (Events of Default), (x) the Commitments of each Lender to make Loans and the commitments of each Lender and Issuer to Issue or participate in Letters of Credit shall each automatically be terminated and (y) the Loans, all such interest and all such amounts and Obligations shall automatically become and be due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or

 

157











 

any notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.  In addition to the remedies set forth above, the Administrative Agent may exercise any remedies provided for by the Collateral Documents in accordance with the terms thereof or any other remedies provided by applicable law.

 

Section 9.3                             Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit

 

At any time (i) upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date, (ii) after the Revolving Credit Termination Date when the aggregate funds on deposit in Cash Collateral Accounts shall be less than 105% of the Letter of Credit Obligations and (iii) as may be required by Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s office referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.), for deposit in a Cash Collateral Account, (x) in the case of clauses (i) and (ii) above, the amount required to that, after such payment, the aggregate funds on deposit in the Cash Collateral Accounts equals or exceeds 105% of the sum of all outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations and (y) in the case of clause (iii) above, the amount required by Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments).  The Administrative Agent may, from time to time after funds are deposited in any Cash Collateral Account, apply funds then held in such Cash Collateral Account to the payment of any amounts, in accordance with Section 2.9(d) (Mandatory Prepayments) and Section 2.13(g) (Payments and Computations), as shall have become or shall become due and payable by the Borrower to the Issuers or Lenders in respect of the Letter of Credit Obligations.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly give written notice of any such application; provided, however, that the failure to give such written notice shall not invalidate any such application.

 

Section 9.4                             Rescission

 

If at any time after termination of the Commitments or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified herein) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than non-payment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Commitments or the acceleration and their consequences may be rescinded and annulled; provided, however, that such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders and the Issuers to a decision that may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and such provisions are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.

Section 9.5                                   Right to Cure

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 9.1(d)(i) (Events of Default), in the event that the Borrower fails to comply with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) for any period, at any time on or before the tenth day after the date of delivery of a Notice of Intent to Cure by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 6.1(c) (Financial Statements), the Borrower and Holdings shall have the right to issue Permitted Cure Securities to the Permitted Holders for cash (the “Cure Right”), and upon the receipt by the Borrower (including through capital contributions by Holdings to the Borrower) of such cash (the “Cure Amount”), the covenant set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA in accordance with the definition thereof for the Fiscal Quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised in an amount equal to such Cure Amount (and such increase shall be included in each period that includes such Fiscal Quarter); provided, however, that such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the existence of a Default or an Event of Default under the covenant set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) with respect to any period that includes the Fiscal Quarter for which such Cure Right was exercised and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document.

 

(b)                                 If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to clause (a) above, the Borrower shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) for such Fiscal Quarter, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the covenant set forth in Article V (Financial Covenant) as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable Default or Event of Default under Section 9.1(d)(i) (Events of Default) that had occurred shall be deemed cured; provided, however, that (i) the Borrower may not exercise the Cure Right more than (A) two times in any four Fiscal Quarter period and (B) five times during the term of this Agreement, (ii) with respect to any exercise of the Cure Right, the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause the Borrower to be in compliance with Article V (Financial Covenant) and (iii) to the extent that the Cure Amount proceeds are used to repay Indebtedness, such Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been repaid for purposes of calculating the covenant in Article V (Financial Covenant) for the period with respect to which such Cure Amount applies.

Section 10.5                      Lender Credit Decision

 

Each Lender and each Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and each other Loan Party in connection with the making and continuance of the Loans and with the issuance of the Letters of Credit.  Each Lender and each Issuer also acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender and based on

 

162











 

such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and other Loan Documents.  Except for the documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders or the Issuers, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any Affiliate thereof or any employee or agent of any of the foregoing.

 

Section 10.6                      Indemnification

 

Each Lender agrees to indemnify each Agent and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting their obligation to do so), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Ratable Portion of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against, such Agent or any of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Agent’s or its Affiliate’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limiting the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse such Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of financial and legal advisors) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the Borrower or another Loan Party.

 

Section 10.7                      Successor Administrative Agent

 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation (such 30-day period, the “Lender Appointment Period”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, selected from among the Lenders.  In either case, such appointment shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Borrower (which approval may not be unreasonably withheld and shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default).  In addition and

 

163











 

without any obligation on the part of the retiring Administrative Agent to appoint, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuers, a successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent may at any time upon or after the end of the Lender Appointment Period notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the Issuers that no qualifying Person has accepted appointment as successor Administrative Agent and the effective date of such retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation (which effective date shall be no earlier than three Business Days after the date of such notice).  Upon the resignation effective date established in such notice and regardless of whether a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed and accepted such appointment and the Borrower has approved such successor Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nonetheless become effective and (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) 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 and each Issuer directly, until such time as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this paragraph.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Prior to any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  After such resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to have the benefit of this Article X as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Any resignation pursuant to this Section 10.7 (Successor Administrative Agent) by a Person acting as Administrative Agent shall, unless such Person shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders and the Issuers otherwise, also act to relieve such Person and its Affiliates of any obligation to advance or issue new, or extend existing, Swing Loans or Letters of Credit where such advance, issuance or extension is to occur on or after the effective date of such resignation.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (i) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Issuer and Swing Lender, (ii) the retiring Issuer and Swing Lender shall be discharged from all of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) the successor Swing Lender shall enter into an Assignment and Acceptance and acquire from the retiring Swing Lender each outstanding Swing Loan of such retiring Swing Lender for a purchase price equal to par plus accrued interest and (iv) the successor Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangement satisfactory to the retiring Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring Issuer with respect to such Letters of Credit.

 

164









 

In addition to the foregoing, if a Revolving Credit Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, any Issuer and/or any Swing Lender may, upon prior written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, resign as Issuer or Swing Lender, respectively, effective at the close of business New York time on a date specified in such notice (which date may not be less than 30 days after the date of such notice); provided, that such resignation by any such Issuer will have no effect on the validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit then outstanding or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Letter of Credit or otherwise to such Issuer; and provided further, that such resignation by any such Swing Lender will have no effect on its rights in respect of any outstanding Swing Loans or on the obligations of the Borrower or any Lender under this Agreement with respect to any such outstanding Swing Loan.

 

Section 10.8                      Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents

 

(a)                                 Each Lender and each Issuer agrees that any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders, Issuers and other Secured Parties.

(b)                                 Each of the Lenders and the Issuers hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent to

(ii)                                  any assets that are subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.2(i) (Liens, Etc.);

 

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

 

(iv)                              the security interests in any Digital Cinema Equipment granted prior to the Closing Date.

 

provided, that in case of clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, no such release shall occur if such Lien continues to secure any Loan Agreement Refinancing Debt.

 

(c)                                  Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Secured Party hereby agree that (i) no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under any of the Loan Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Collateral Documents may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in accordance with the terms thereof, and (ii) in the event of a foreclosure or similar enforcement action by the Administrative Agent on any of the Collateral pursuant to a public or private sale or other disposition (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code), the Administrative Agent (or any Lender, except with respect to a “credit bid” pursuant to Section 363(k), Section 1129(b)(2)(a)(ii) or otherwise of the Bankruptcy Code) may be the purchaser or licensor of any or all of such Collateral at any such sale or other disposition and the Administrative Agent, as agent for and representative of Secured Parties (but not any Lender or Lenders in its or their respective individual capacities) shall be entitled, upon instructions from Requisite Lenders, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Collateral sold at any such sale or disposition, to use and apply any of

 

166











 

the Obligations as a credit on account of the purchase price for any collateral payable by the Administrative Agent at such sale or other disposition.

 

Each of the Secured Parties hereby directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 10.8 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.

(a)                                 Each Lender and each Issuer understands that each Agent, acting in its individual capacity, and its Affiliates (collectively, the “Agents’ Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research) (such services and businesses are collectively referred to in this Section 10.10(a) as “Activities”) and may engage in the Activities with or on behalf of one or more of the Group Members or their respective Affiliates.  Furthermore, the Agents’ Group may, in undertaking the Activities, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for its own account or on behalf of others (including the Group Members and their Affiliates and including holding, for its own account or on behalf of others, equity, debt and similar positions in the Borrower, other Group Members or their respective Affiliates), including trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of one or more of the Group Members or their Affiliates.

Neither the Administrative Agent nor any member of the Agents’ Group shall have any duty to disclose to any Agent, Lender or any Issuer or use on behalf of the Agents, Lenders or Issuers, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use any information whatsoever about or derived from the Activities or otherwise (including any information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Group Members or any Affiliate of any Group Members) or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with the Activities, except that the Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Agent, each Lender and each Issuer such documents as are expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by the Administrative Agent to the Agents, Lenders or the Issuers.

Each Agent and each Lender and each Issuer agrees that no member of the Agents’ Group is or shall be required to restrict its activities as a result of the Person serving as an Agent being a member of the Agents’ Group, and that each member of the Agents’ Group may undertake any Activities without further consultation with or notification to any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer.

Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(c)                                  If, in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, waiver or termination requiring the consent of all Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Lenders, the consent of Requisite Lenders is obtained but the consent of any Revolving

Credit Lender or Term Lender whose consent is required is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is not obtained as described in this Section 11.1 being referred to as a “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, at the Borrower’s request, an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right to purchase from such Non-Consenting Lender, and such Non-Consenting Lender agrees that it shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, sell and assign to the Lender acting as the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Revolving Credit Commitments and Revolving Credit Outstandings of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender and all of the Term Loans of such Non-Consenting Lender if such Non-Consenting Lender is a Term Lender, in each case, for an amount equal to the principal balance of all such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by the Non-Consenting Lender, and, in the case of a Repricing Transaction to which said Non-Consenting Lender did not consent, the prepayment premium set forth in Section 2.8(d) (Optional Prepayments) (if on or prior to the date six months after the First Amendment Effective Date) and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of sale; provided, however, that such purchase and sale shall be recorded in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent and not be effective until (x) the Administrative Agent shall have received from such Eligible Assignee an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower whereby such Eligible Assignee shall agree to be bound by the terms hereof and (y) such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received payments of all Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, held by it and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees with respect thereto through the date of the sale.  Each Lender agrees that, if it becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, it shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance to evidence such sale and purchase and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by Notes) subject to such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, however, that the failure of any Non-Consenting Lender to execute an Assignment and Acceptance shall not render such sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall be recorded in the Register.

 

(d)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment shall not require the consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders providing the New Incremental Loans, Extended Loans and Refinancing Loans, as applicable (such Loans, the “Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans”)).  Each of the parties hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment which shall be promptly notified to each Lender by the Administrative Agent, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to reflect the existence of the terms of the Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans.  Any Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to implement the terms of any such Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loan, including any amendments necessary to establish Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Loans as new Tranches in

 

173











 

respect of Loans so provided and such other technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new Tranches, in each case on terms not inconsistent with Sections 2.19 (Facility Increase), 2.20 (Amend and Extend Transactions), 2.21 (Refinancing Transactions) and 2.22 (Incremental/Extended/Refinancing Amendments Generally), as applicable.

 

Section 11.2                      Assignments and Participations

 

(a)                                 Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (other than to any Disqualified Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all of its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, the Revolving Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit); provided, however, that (i) if any such assignment shall be of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, such assignment shall cover the same percentage of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, (ii) the aggregate amount being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event (if less than the assignor’s entire interest) be less than (x) in the case of Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments, $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (y) in the case of Term Loans, $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, except, in either case, (A) with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or (B) if such assignment is being made to a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender (other than any Disqualified Institution), (iii) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender (other than any Disqualified Institution), such assignment shall be subject to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iv) if such Eligible Assignee is not, prior to the date of such assignment, a Revolving Credit Lender or an Affiliate of a Revolving Credit Lender, any such assignment with respect to Revolving Credit Outstandings and Revolving Credit Commitments shall be subject to the prior consent of each Issuer and Swing Lender; provided, however 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 5 Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.2, the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment occurring when any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a), (b) or (f) (Events of Default) shall have occurred and be continuing and (v) no Revolving Credit Commitments or Revolving Loans may be assigned to any Affiliated Lender.  Any such assignment need not be ratable as among the Term Loan Facility and the Revolving Credit Facility.

 

(b)                                 The parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note (if the assigning Lender’s Loans are evidenced by a Note) subject to such assignment.  Upon the execution, delivery, acceptance and

 

174











 

recording in the Register of any Assignment and Acceptance and, other than in respect of assignments made pursuant to Section 2.17(b) (Mitigation Obligations; Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.1(c) (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.), the receipt by the Administrative Agent from the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 (and, in the case of an Affiliated Lender or a Person that, after giving effect to such assignment, would become an Affiliated Lender, satisfaction of the requirements set forth in clause (j) below) from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment, (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender, and if such Lender were an Issuer, of such Issuer hereunder and thereunder, and (ii) the Notes (if any) corresponding to the Loans assigned thereby shall be transferred to such assignee by notation in the Register and (iii) the assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations under this Agreement have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the payment in full of the Obligations) and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents, other than those relating to events or circumstances occurring prior to such assignment (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).

 

(c)                                  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.8 (Notices, Etc.) a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and shall record in the Register the names and addresses of the Lenders and Issuers and the principal amount of the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations owing to each Lender from time to time and the Commitments of each Lender.  Any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall not be effective until such assignment is recorded in the Register.

 

(d)                                 Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record or cause to be recorded the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.  Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by such assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent new Notes to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the assigning Lender has surrendered any Note for exchange in connection with the assignment and has retained Commitments or Loans hereunder, new Notes to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitments and Loans retained by it hereunder.  Such new Notes shall be dated the same date as the surrendered Notes and be in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1 (Form of Revolving Note) or Exhibit B-3 (Form of Term Loan Note), as applicable.

 

175









 

(e)           In addition to the other assignment rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may do each of the following:

 

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

 

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

 

provided, however, that no such assignment or grant shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder except as expressly provided in clause (i) above and except, in the case of a subsequent foreclosure pursuant to an assignment as collateral, if such foreclosure is made in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 11.2 other than this clause (e) or clause (f) below.  Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other senior debt of any such Special Purpose Vehicle, such party shall not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, any Special Purpose Vehicle that has been granted an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or liquidation proceeding (such agreement shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations).  The terms of the designation of, or assignment to, such Special Purpose Vehicle shall not restrict such Lender’s ability to, or grant such Special Purpose Vehicle the right to, consent to any amendment or waiver to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or to the departure by the Borrower from any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document without the consent of such Special Purpose Vehicle except, as long as the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,

 

176











 

Issuers and other Secured Parties shall continue to, and shall be entitled to continue to, deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement, to the extent any such consent would reduce the principal amount of, or the rate of interest on, any Obligations, amend this clause (e) or postpone any scheduled date of payment of such principal or interest.  Each Special Purpose Vehicle shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Increased Cost and Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) and Section 2.16 (Taxes) as if it were such Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.16 (Taxes) to any such Special Purpose Vehicle and any such Lender in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest if such Special Purpose Vehicle had not been assigned the rights of such Lender hereunder; provided, further, that such Special Purpose Vehicle shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

 

(f)            Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a natural Person, an Affiliated Lender, a Defaulting Lender or a Disqualified Institution) (each, a “Participant”) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Term Loans, Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit).  The terms of such participation shall not, in any event, require the participant’s consent to any amendments, waivers or other modifications of any provision of any Loan Documents, the consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or to the exercising or refraining from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce the obligations of the Loan Parties), except if any such amendment, waiver or other modification or consent would (i) reduce the amount, or postpone any date fixed for, any amount (whether of principal, interest or fees) payable to such participant under the Loan Documents, to which such participant would otherwise be entitled under such participation or (ii) result in the release of all or substantially all of the Collateral other than in accordance with Section 10.8(b) (Concerning the Collateral and the Collateral Documents).  In the event of the sale of any participation by any Lender, (w) such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents shall remain unchanged, (x) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties for the performance of such obligations, (y) such Lender shall remain the holder of such Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement and (z) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Each participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) and Section 2.16 (Taxes) as if it were a Lender; provided, however, that anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not, at any time, be obligated to make any payment under Section 2.14(c) (Illegality), Section 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or Section 2.16 (Taxes) to the participants in the rights and obligations of any Lender (together with such Lender)

 

177











 

in excess of the amount the Borrower would have been obligated to pay to such Lender in respect of such interest had such participation not been sold (i) except to the extent such entitlement to receive any greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation or (ii) unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent to such greater payments; provided, further, that such participant in the rights and obligations of such Lender shall have no direct right to enforce any of the terms of this Agreement against the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

 

(g)           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 Participant’s 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.

 

(h)           Any Issuer may at any time assign its rights and obligations hereunder to any other Lender by an instrument in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, such Issuer and such Lender, subject to the provisions of Section 2.7(b) (Evidence of Debt) relating to notations of transfer in the Register.  If any Issuer ceases to be a Lender hereunder by virtue of any assignment made pursuant to this Section 11.2, then, as of the effective date of such cessation, such Issuer’s obligations to Issue Letters of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4 (Letters of Credit) shall terminate and such Issuer shall be an Issuer hereunder only with respect to outstanding Letters of Credit issued prior to such date.

 

(i)            The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Acceptance shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

 

178











 

(j)            Any Lender may, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at any time, assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement to a Person who is or will become, after such assignment, an Affiliated Lender through (x) Dutch auctions open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis in accordance with procedures of the type described in Section 2.8(e)(iii) (Optional Prepayments) or (y) open market purchases on a non-pro rata basis, in each case subject to the following limitations:

 

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

 

(ii)           each Affiliated Lender that (A) purchases any Term Loans pursuant to this clause (j) shall represent and warrant to the seller and (B) sells any Term Loan hereunder shall represent and warrant to the buyer, in each case, that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally and could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in any such purchase or the price of the Term Loans being purchased (other than Lenders who elect not to receive such information);

 

(iii)          the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders shall not exceed 20% of the original principal amount of all Term Loans at such time outstanding (after giving effect to any substantially simultaneous cancellations thereof) (such percentage, the “Affiliated Lender Cap”);

 

(iv)          as a condition to each assignment pursuant to this clause (j), the Administrative Agent shall have been provided a notice in the form of Exhibit R (Form of Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance) to this Agreement in connection with each assignment to an Affiliated Lender or a Person that upon effectiveness of such assignment would constitute an Affiliated Lender;

 

Each Affiliated Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within 10 (ten) Business Days) if it acquires any Person who is also a Lender, and each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent promptly (and in any event within ten Business Days) if it becomes an Affiliated Lender.  Such notice shall contain the type of information required and be delivered to the same addressee as set forth in Exhibit R (Form of Affiliated Lender Assignment and Acceptance).

 

179











 

In addition, Holdings or the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries may make open market purchases of Term Loans provided, that (A) any such purchased Term Loans shall be retired and cancelled immediately upon the acquisition thereof, (B) Holdings, the Borrower and/or the applicable Subsidiary shall represent and warrant to the buyer that it does not possess material non-public information with respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or the securities of any of them that has not been disclosed to the Lenders generally and could reasonably be expected to have a material effect upon, or otherwise be material to, a Lender’s decision to participate in any such purchase or the price of the Term Loans being purchased (other than Lenders who elect not to receive such information), (C) no proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility or New Incremental Notes may be used to acquire such Term Loans, (D)  no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom and (E), the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans purchased and remaining outstanding pursuant to open market purchases since the Closing Date shall not, in the aggregate, exceed 20.0% of the principal amount of all Term Loans then outstanding (calculated as of the date of such purchase).

 

(k)           Notwithstanding anything in Section 11.1 (Amendments, Waivers, Etc.) or the definition of “Requisite Lenders,” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the Requisite Lenders have (i) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of any Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, or subject to Section 11.2(l) (Assignments and Participations), any plan of reorganization pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) otherwise acted on any matter related to any Loan Document, or (iii) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under any Loan Document, no Affiliated Lender shall have any right to consent (or not consent), otherwise act or direct or require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to take (or refrain from taking) any such action and:

 

(i)            all Loans held by any Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether the Requisite Lenders have taken any actions; and

 

(ii)           all Loans held by Affiliated Lenders shall be deemed to be not outstanding for all purposes of calculating whether all Lenders have taken any action unless the action in question affects such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner than its effect on other Lenders.

 

(l)            Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliated Lender hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency law shall be commenced by or against the Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliated Lender, such Affiliated Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliated Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliated Lender in such proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who

 

180











 

are not Affiliated Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliated Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliated Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided, that such Affiliated Lender shall be entitled to vote in its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any Obligations held by such Affiliated Lender in a disproportionately adverse manner to such Affiliated Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations held by Lenders that are not Affiliated Lenders.

 

Section 11.3       Costs and Expenses

 

(a)           The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all of Administrative Agent’s reasonable out-of-pocket audit, legal, appraisal, valuation, filing, document duplication and reproduction and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature (including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of the Administrative Agent’s counsel, Latham & Watkins LLP, local legal counsel, auditors, accountants, appraisers, printers, insurance and environmental advisors, and other consultants and agents) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with any of the following: (i) the Administrative Agent’s audit and investigation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in connection with the preparation, negotiation or execution of any Loan Document or the Administrative Agent’s periodic audits of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as the case may be, (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution or interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit)), any Loan Document or any proposal letter or commitment letter issued in connection therewith, or the making of the Loans hereunder, (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the Liens under any Loan Document (including any reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses for local counsel in various jurisdictions), (iv) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent’s rights and responsibilities hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (v) the protection, collection or enforcement of any Obligation or the enforcement of any Loan Document, (vi) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (vii) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent is served or deposition or other proceeding in which the Administrative Agent is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (viii) any amendment, consent, waiver, assignment, restatement, or supplement to any Loan Document or the preparation, negotiation and execution of the same.

 

(b)           The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and Issuers upon demand for all out-of-

 

181











 

pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement), incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lenders or such Issuers in connection with any of the following: (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or Obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of an Event of Default, (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding, (iii) in commencing, defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, any Loan Party, any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any other Loan Document or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above; provided, however, that the Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Issuers for the expenses of counsel shall be limited to one outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and one outside counsel to the Lenders and the Issuers and, in each case, any reasonably appropriate local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, and if the interests of any Lender or group of Lenders (other than all of the Lenders) are distinctly or disproportionately affected, one additional outside counsel for such Lender or group of Lenders.

 

Section 11.4       Indemnities

 

(a)           The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Arranger, Lender, Issuer (including each Person obligated on a Hedging Contract that is a Loan Document if such Person was a Lender or Issuer at the time of it entered into such Hedging Contract) and each of their respective Affiliates, and each of the directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, representatives, attorneys, consultants and advisors of or to any of the foregoing (including those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III (Conditions to Loans and Letters of Credit) (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, losses, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and expenses, joint or several, of any kind or nature (including fees, disbursements and expenses of financial and legal advisors to any such Indemnitee) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in connection with or arising out of any investigation, litigation or proceeding, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any such Indemnitee or any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors or the Borrower or any such Subsidiary, Indemnitee, director, security holder or creditor is a party thereto, whether direct, indirect, or consequential and whether based on any federal, state or local law or other statutory regulation, securities or commercial law or regulation, or under common law or in equity, or on contract, tort or otherwise, in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Obligation, any Letter of Credit, any Disclosure Document, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant to any thereof,

or the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit or in connection with any investigation of any potential matter covered hereby (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to an Indemnitee (i) with respect to any Indemnified Matter that has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of that Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order, (ii) with respect to a dispute among Indemnitee (other than a claim against any Agent or its affiliates solely in its capacity as Agent, except to the extent such claim is found by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lead Arranger or affiliate, as applicable); or (iii) arising from a material breach of the obligations of an Indemnitee under this Agreement as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” include (i) all Environmental Liabilities and Costs arising from or connected with the past, present or future operations of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries involving any property subject to a Collateral Document, or damage to real or personal property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Contaminants on, upon or into such property or migrating from such property, (ii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Remedial Action concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, (iii) any costs or liabilities incurred in connection with any Environmental Lien on Real Property or any asset owned or leased by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (iv) any costs or liabilities concerning the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including their operations and owned or leased Real Property, incurred in connection with any other matter under any Environmental Law, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (49 U.S.C. § 9601 et seq.) and applicable state property transfer laws, whether, with respect to any such matter, such Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries by virtue of foreclosure, except, with respect to those matters referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above, to the extent (x) incurred following foreclosure by any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer, or any Agent, any Lender or any Issuer having become the successor in interest to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and (y) to the extent attributable solely to acts or omissions of any Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any agent on behalf of such Agent, such Lender or such Issuer or any other Indemnitee.

 

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

 

183











 

(c)           The Borrower, at the request of any Indemnitee, shall have the obligation to defend against any investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, in each case contemplated in clause (a) above, and the Borrower, in any event, may participate in the defense thereof with legal counsel of the Borrower’s choice.  In the event that such Indemnitee requests the Borrower to defend against such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, the Borrower shall promptly do so and such Indemnitee shall have the right to have legal counsel of its choice participate in such defense.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by such Indemnitee in defending against any such investigation, litigation or proceeding or requested Remedial Action, shall vitiate or in any way impair the Borrower’s obligation and duty hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee.

 

(d)           The Borrower agrees that any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 11.4) or any other Loan Document shall (i) survive payment in full of the Obligations and (ii) inure to the benefit of any Person that was at any time an Indemnitee under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

 

Section 11.5       Limitation of Liability

 

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

 

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

 

184









 

Section 11.6       Right of Set-off

 

Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default each Lender and each Affiliate of a Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness at any time owing by such Lender or its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and even though such Obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders (and that, it shall, to the extent lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders) exercise its set-off rights under this Section 11.6 against any deposit accounts of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries maintained with such Lender or any Affiliate thereof.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 11.6 are in addition to the other rights and remedies (including other rights of set-off) that such Lender may have.

 

Section 11.7       Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

(a)           If any Lender (directly or through an Affiliate thereof) obtains any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) of the Loans owing to it, any interest thereon, fees in respect thereof or amounts due pursuant to Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses) and Section 11.4 (Indemnities) (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) or otherwise receives any Collateral or any “Proceeds” (as defined in the Pledge and Security Agreement) of Collateral (other than payments pursuant to Section 2.14 (Special Provisions Governing Eurodollar Rate Loans), 2.15 (Increased Costs and Capital Adequacy) or 2.16 (Taxes)) (in each case, whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off (including pursuant to Section 11.6 (Right of Set-off)) or otherwise) in excess of its Ratable Portion of all payments of such Obligations obtained by all the Lenders, such Lender (a “Purchasing Lender”) shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders (each, a “Selling Lender”) such participations in their Loans or other Obligations as shall be necessary to cause such Purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the sharing provisions under this Section 11.7 shall not apply to any amounts received by any Lender under any terms and provisions hereof that expressly permit a non-pro rata payment to one or more Lenders, including, without limitation, Section 2.8(e) (Optional Prepayments) and Section 11.2(j) (Assignments and Participations).

 

(b)           If all or any portion of any payment received by a Purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Purchasing Lender, such purchase from each

 

185











 

Selling Lender shall be rescinded and such Selling Lender shall repay to the Purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Selling Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Selling Lender’s required repayment in relation to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the Purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the Purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.

 

(c)           The Borrower agrees that any Purchasing Lender so purchasing a participation from a Selling Lender pursuant to this Section 11.7 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 11.9       No Waiver; Remedies

 

No failure on the part of any Lender, Issuer or Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

 

Section 11.10     Binding Effect

 

This Agreement shall become effective as provided in Section 3 of the First Amendment and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuer and, in each case, their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lenders.

The parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such respective jurisdictions.  The Borrower and each other Group Member irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against any Agent, any Lender, any Issuer or any Related Party of the foregoing in any way relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York; provided, that nothing in this

Section 11.18     Confidentiality; Fiduciary Duty

 

Each Lender and each Agent agrees to keep information obtained by it pursuant hereto and the other Loan Documents confidential in accordance with such Lender’s or Agent’s, as the case may be, customary practices and agrees that it shall only use such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and not disclose any such information other than (a) to such Lender’s or such Agent’s, as the case may be, Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ partners, trustees, advisors, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents that are or are expected to be involved in the

 

190











 

evaluation of such information in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are advised of the confidential nature of such information, (b) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any other Loan Party or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.18, (c) to the extent disclosure is required by law, regulation or judicial order or requested or required by bank regulators or auditors, (d) (i) to current or prospective assignees, participants and Special Purpose Vehicle grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(f) (Assignments and Participations), contractual counterparties in any Hedging Contract permitted hereunder and to their respective legal or financial advisors, in each case and to the extent such assignees, participants, grantees or counterparties agree to be bound by, and to cause their advisors to comply with, the provisions of this Section 11.18; provided, that no such disclosure shall be made by such Lender or such Agent or any of their respective Affiliates to any such Person that is a Disqualified Institution; (ii) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) surety, reinsurer, guarantor or credit liquidity enhancer (or their advisors) to or in connection with any swap, derivative or other similar transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Obligations or to the Borrower and its obligations or to this Agreement or payments hereunder; (iii) to any rating agency when required by it; (iv) to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization or (v) in connection with establishing a due diligence defense.

Each Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lenders”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and/or their Affiliates.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lenders, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Loan Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or

 

191











 

fiduciary of any Loan Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person.  Each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each Loan Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Loan Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies the Borrower that, pursuant to Section 326 of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, including the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

Section 11.21     Independence of Covenants

 

All covenants hereunder shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or would otherwise be within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

 

Section 11.22     Electronic Execution of Assignments

 

The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment Agreement shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as an original 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 the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

192











 

withheld) for such use of the Borrower’s name, product photographs, logo or trademark, and any such authorization shall be subject to such quality control requirements, usage instructions and guidelines in relation thereto that may be in effect from time to time or other instructions by the Borrower in writing.

Schedule 4.7

 

Litigation

 

On May 28, 2015, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Beginning in May of 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, Florida, New York, and Kansas and from the District of Columbia, regarding similar inquiries under those states’ antitrust laws. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.
