Commitments and Agency Roles







 


You hereby appoint Barclays Bank to act, and Barclays Bank hereby agrees to act, as sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”), in each case for the Credit Facilities.  You hereby appoint each of Barclays Capital, DBSI, GECM and RBC Capital Markets to act, and each of Barclays Capital, DBSI, GECM and RBC Capital Markets hereby agrees to act, as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners (in such capacities, the “Joint Lead Arrangers”) for the Credit Facilities.  Each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will have the rights and authority customarily given to financial institutions in such roles, but shall have no duties other than those expressly set forth herein and in the Loan Documents (as defined below).  It is agreed that Barclays Bank shall have “left” placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Credit Facilities and shall hold the leading role and responsibilities conventionally associated with such “left” placement.  GECM shall have second placement immediately to the right of Barclays Bank.


 


In connection with the Credit Facilities, (i) Barclays Bank is pleased to advise you of its several (but not joint) commitment to provide $23.75 million of the Revolving Facility, (ii) DBTCA is pleased to advise you of its several (but not joint) commitment to provide $23.75 million of the Revolving Facility, (iii) GECC is pleased to advise you of its several (but not joint) commitment to provide $23.75 million of the Revolving Facility, (iv) Royal Bank is pleased to advise you of its several (but not joint) commitment to provide $23.75 million of the Revolving Facility and (v) Jefferies is pleased to advise you of its several (but not joint) commitment to provide $5.0 million of the Revolving Facility, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter (as defined below).  In such capacity, Barclays Bank, DBTCA, GECC, Royal Bank and Jefferies are the “Initial Lenders” and each is an “Initial Lender.”  It is understood and agreed that none of the Commitment Parties is hereby committing to provide any portion of the Term Facility and that any such commitment would be evidenced by a separate agreement from such Commitment Party.


 


Our fees for services related to the Credit Facilities are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”) between Holdings, the Borrower and the Joint Lead Arrangers entered into on the date hereof.  In consideration of the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter by the Joint Lead Arrangers, you jointly and severally agree to pay the fees and expenses set forth in Exhibit A and in the Fee Letter as and when payable in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.  You agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than as expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter) will be paid in connection with the Credit Facilities unless you and we shall so agree.

The Borrower agrees that such information regarding the Credit Facilities and information provided by Holdings, the Borrower or their respective representatives to the Joint Lead Arrangers in connection with the Credit Facilities (including without limitation draft and execution versions of the Loan Documents, such information memorandum, such presentation, publicly filed financial statements and draft or final offering materials relating to contemporaneous or prior securities issuances by Holdings or the Borrower) may be disseminated to potential Lenders and other persons through one or more internet sites (including an IntraLinks or SyndTrak workspace) created for purposes of syndicating the Credit Facilities or otherwise in accordance with the Joint Lead Arrangers’ standard syndication practices (including hard copy and via electronic transmissions).


 


At the request of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Borrower agrees to prepare a version of the information memorandum and presentation that does not contain material non-public information concerning Holdings, the Borrower, their respective affiliates or their securities.  In addition, the Borrower agrees that unless specifically labeled “Private — Contains Non-Public Information,” no information, documentation or other data disseminated to prospective Lenders in connection with the syndication of the Credit Facilities, whether through an internet site (including without limitation an IntraLinks or SyndTrak workspace), electronically, in presentations, at meetings or otherwise will contain any material non-public information concerning Holdings, the Borrower, their respective affiliates or their securities.  The Borrower further agrees that the following documents contain information that is otherwise publicly available (unless the Borrower notifies us promptly that such document contains material non-public information): (x) draft and execution versions of the Loan Documents, (y) administrative materials prepared by the Joint Lead Arrangers for prospective Lenders (including without limitation a lender meeting invitation, lender allocations, if any, and funding and closing memoranda) and (z) notifications of changes in the terms and conditions of the Credit Facilities.

You agree that if at any time prior to the Closing Date any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the information and projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the information and projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances.

Exhibit A-1













  






 


 



	Administrative Agent:	
Barclays Bank PLC will act as sole and exclusive administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the Lenders and will perform the duties customarily associated with such role.


	 	 
	Collateral Agent:	
Barclays Bank PLC will act as sole and exclusive collateral agent (in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”) for the Lenders and will perform the duties customarily associated with such role.


	 	 
	Co-Syndication Agents:	
DBSI and General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) will act as co-syndication agents (in such capacities, the “Co-Syndication Agents”).


	 	 
	Documentation Agent:	RBC Capital Markets will act as documentation agent (in such capacity, the “Documentation Agent” and, together with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Co-Syndication Agents, the “Agents”).
	 	 
	Lenders: 	Barclays Bank PLC, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, General Electric Capital Corporation, Royal Bank of Canada, Jefferies Finance LLC and/or other banks, financial institutions and institutional lenders selected by the Joint Lead Arrangers after consultation with the Borrower (each, a “Lender” and, collectively, the “Lenders”).
	 	 
	Purpose/Use of Proceeds: 	The proceeds of the Term Facility will be used to refinance the Existing Indebtedness, fund, in part, certain acquisitions previously identified to the Joint Lead Arrangers and pay all Transaction Costs. Amounts available under the Revolving Facility will be used to provide for the ongoing working capital requirements of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and for general corporate purposes, including future acquisitions that are permitted under the Loan Documents. 
	 	 
	Amount of Credit Facilities:	
$375.0 million of senior secured first lien bank financing (the “Credit Facilities”) to include:

Any such Swing Line Loans will reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis and will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable to loans under the Revolving Facility bearing interest based upon the Base Rate. Each Lender under the Revolving Facility will acquire an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Swing Line Loan.





 


 


 


 


 


 




  






Exhibit A-2

At the Borrower’s option, a portion of the Revolving Facility to be mutually agreed upon may be made available for the issuance of letters of credit (“Letters of Credit”) by Barclays Bank PLC (in such capacity, the “Issuing Bank”) or another Lender acceptable to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

No Letter of Credit will have an expiration date after the earlier of (i) one year after the date of issuance, unless the Issuing Bank otherwise agrees and (ii) five business days prior to the Revolving Facility Maturity Date. Drawings under any Letter of Credit will be reimbursed by the Borrower (whether with its own funds or with the proceeds of Revolving Facility loans) on the next business day. Each Lender under the Revolving Facility will acquire an irrevocable and unconditional pro rata participation in each Letter of Credit.


	 	 
	
Incremental Facility:

	
On or before the Maturity Date of the Credit Facilities, the Borrower will have the right to increase the amount of the Credit Facilities by incurring an incremental term loan facility or increasing the Revolving Facility (each such incremental term loan facility or increase to the Revolving Facility, an “Incremental Facility” and, collectively, the “Incremental Facilities”) in an aggregate amount not to exceed $75.0 million under terms and conditions to be determined; provided that (i) such Incremental Facilities will share pari passu in the guarantees described above and in the collateral described below, (ii) no existing Lender will be obligated to provide any portion of such Incremental Facilities, (iii) no event of default or default exists or would exist after giving effect thereto, (iv) all financial covenants would be satisfied on a pro forma basis on the date of incurrence and for the most recent determination period, after giving effect to such Incremental Facility and other customary and appropriate pro forma adjustment events, including any acquisitions or dispositions after the beginning of the relevant determination period but prior to or simultaneous with the borrowing of such Incremental Facilities, (v) all fees and expenses owing in respect of such increase to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders will have been paid, (vi) if such Incremental Facility is a term loan facility, (a) the yield as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent applicable to the Incremental Facility will not be more than 25 basis points greater than the rate as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent for the applicable existing Term Facility or Term Facilities unless the rate with respect to such existing Term Facility or Term Facilities and the existing Revolving Facility is increased contemporaneously with the funding of such Incremental Facility such that such yield is not more than 25 basis points greater than such rate, (b) the Maturity Date applicable to such Incremental Facility will not be earlier than the latest maturity date of the applicable existing Term Facility or Term Facilities, (c) the weighted average life to maturity of such Incremental Facility will not be shorter than the weighted average life to maturity of the applicable existing Term Facility or Term Facilities and (d) all other terms of such Incremental Facility, if not consistent with the terms of the applicable existing Term Facility or Term Facilities, will be as agreed between the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Facility and (vii) if such Incremental Facility is a revolving facility, such Incremental Facility will be documented solely as an increase to the commitments with respect to the Revolving Facility, without any change in terms other than any change that is more favorable to the Lenders under the Revolving Facility and applies to all loans and commitments under Revolving Facility (it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall be empowered to, on behalf of all the Lenders under the Revolving Facility, execute an amendment to the definitive documentation relating to the Revolving Facility in order to give effect to such a change more favorable to the Lenders under the Revolving Facility). The proceeds of each Incremental Facility will be used for general corporate purposes and permitted acquisitions.





 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 




  






  


Exhibit A-3













  






 



	
Availability:

	Term Facility: One drawing may be made under the Term Facility on the Closing Date.
	 	 
	 	
Revolving Facility: Amounts available under the Revolving Facility may be borrowed, repaid and reborrowed after the Closing Date until the maturity date thereof.


	 	 
	
Closing Date:

	
The date on or before April 30, 2010 on which the borrowings under the Term Facility are made in accordance with the Commitment Letter (the “Closing Date”).


	 	 
	Maturities:	The maturity date (the “Maturity Date”) of each of the Credit Facilities will be as follows: 
	 	 
	 	
(i)         Term Facility: Sixth anniversary of the Closing Date; and


	 	 
	 	
(ii)         Revolving Facility: Fifth anniversary of the Closing Date.


	 	 
	
Amortization:

	
The outstanding principal amount of the Term Facility will be payable in equal quarterly amounts of 1.0% per annum, with the remaining balance, together with all other amounts owed with respect thereto, payable on the Maturity Date of the Term Facility. No amortization will be required with respect to the Revolving Facility.


	 	 
	
Interest Rate:

	All amounts outstanding under the Credit Facilities will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at a rate per annum equal to, 
	 	 
	 	(i)   with respect to loans made under the Term Facility: (a)the Base Rate plus 2.75-3.00% per annum; or 
	 	 
	 	
(b)   the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.75-4.00% per annum;


	 	 
	 	
(ii) with respect to loans made under the Revolving Facility:


	 	 
	 	
(a)   the Base Rate plus 2.75% per annum (such rate in any event to match the rate on Base Rate Loans for the Term Facility on the Closing Date, whether higher or lower than this rate); or





 


 


 


 


 


 




  






Exhibit A-4













  






 



	 	
(b)   the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus 3.75% per annum (such rate in any event to match the rate on Eurodollar Rate Loans for the Term Facility on the Closing Date, whether higher or lower than this rate);


	 	 
	 	
provided, however, that at no time will the Base Rate be deemed to be less than 3.00% per annum or the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate be deemed to be less than 2.00% per annum.


	 	 
	 	As used herein, the terms “Base Rate” and “reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate” will have meanings customary and appropriate for financings of this type, and the basis for calculating accrued interest and the interest periods for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be customary and appropriate for financings of this type.
	 	 
	 	Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any default or event of default, interest on all amounts (including without limitation principal) will accrue at a rate of 2.0% per annum plus the rate otherwise applicable to such amounts and will be payable on demand (the “Default Interest Rate”); provided that if such a default or event of default does not relate to a payment, financial covenant or bankruptcy default or event of default, the Default Interest Rate will apply to all amounts only at the request of the Required Lenders (as defined below under the caption “Amendments and Required Lenders”).
	 	 
	
Interest Payments:

	
Quarterly for loans bearing interest based upon the Base Rate; except as set forth below, on the last day of selected interest periods (which will be one, two, three and six months or, if consented to by the applicable Lenders, nine or twelve months) for loans bearing interest based upon the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (and at the end of every three months, in the case of interest periods longer than three months); and upon prepayment, in each case payable in arrears and computed on the basis of a 360-day year with respect to loans bearing interest based upon the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate (365/366-day year with respect to loans bearing interest based upon the Base Rate).


	 	 
	Funding Protection and Taxes:	Customary for transactions of this type, including breakage costs, gross-up for tax withholding, compensation for increased costs and compliance with capital adequacy and other regulatory restrictions. 



 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 


 




  






Exhibit A-5













  






 



	Commitment Fees:	Commitment fees equal to 0.75% per annum times the daily average undrawn portion of the Revolving Facility (reduced by the face amount of Letters of Credit issued and outstanding) will accrue from the Closing Date and will be payable quarterly in arrears; provided that if the ratio of (1) consolidated indebtedness of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as of the date of such financial statements to (2) consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its subsidiaries for the twelve-month period ended as of such date (as reflected in the most recent quarterly or annual financial statements delivered to the Lenders) is less than a level to be agreed, the rate at which the commitment fees accrue will decrease from 0.75% per annum to 0.50% per annum. Swing Line Loans will, for purposes of the commitment fee calculations only, not be deemed to be a utilization of the Revolving Facility.
	 	 
	Closing Fees:	Closing fees to each Lender party to the Loan Documents for the Credit Facilities on the Closing Date, as fee compensation for the funding of such Lender’s loans under the Credit Facilities and unfunded commitment under the Revolving Facility, in an amount expected to be approximately 1.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s loans under the Term Facility (or such higher amount as the Borrower may agree in connection with the initial syndication of the Term Facility) and 2.00% of the stated principal amount of such Lender’s funded and unfunded commitment under the Revolving Facility (which will include the face amount of any issued but undrawn Letter of Credit), payable to such Lender out of the proceeds of its loans as and when funded on the Closing Date.
	 	 
	Letter of Credit Fees:	A fee per annum equal to (i) the applicable margin then in effect for loans bearing interest at the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate made under the Revolving Facility, times (ii) the average daily maximum aggregate amount available to be drawn under all Letters of Credit, will be payable quarterly in arrears to the Lenders under the Revolving Facility. In addition, a fronting fee, to be mutually agreed upon between the issuer of each Letter of Credit and the Borrower, will be payable to such issuer, as well as certain customary fees assessed thereby.
	 	 
	Voluntary Prepayments:	The Credit Facilities may be prepaid in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that loans bearing interest based upon the reserve adjusted Eurodollar Rate will be prepayable only on the last day of the applicable interest period unless the Borrower pays any related breakage costs. Voluntary prepayments of the Term Facility will be applied to scheduled amortization payments and the payment at final maturity on a pro rata basis and may not be reborrowed. 
	 	 
	Mandatory Prepayments:	The Borrower will make the following mandatory prepayments (subject to certain basket amounts to be negotiated in the Loan Documents):

	 	3.  Incurrence of Indebtedness: Prepayments in an amount equal to 100.0% of the net cash proceeds received from the incurrence of indebtedness by Holdings, the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries (other than certain indebtedness otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents) payable no later than the business day following the date of receipt.

All security arrangements will be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and will be perfected on the Closing Date.
