ARTICLE II.


THE CREDIT


 


Section 2.1.   Commitments.


 


(a)           [Reserved]


 


(b)           Revolving Loan Commitments.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally, but not jointly, agrees to make revolving loans (each a “Revolving Loan”) to the Borrower during the Revolving Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in (a) such Lender’s aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeding the lesser of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Revolving Borrowing Base and such Lender’s Revolving Maximum Credit Amount or (b) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeding the lesser of the Revolving Borrowing Base and the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow the Revolving Loans and for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of Revolving Loans outstanding and Letters of Credit issued as of the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date are set forth on Schedule I.


 


Section 2.2.   Loans and Borrowings.


 


(a)           Borrowings; Several Obligations.  Each Revolving Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments.  The failure of any Lender to make any Revolving Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.


 


(b)           Types of Loans.  Revolving Loans shall be made as Base Rate Loans unless the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be Eurodollar Rate Loans; provided that the Borrower cannot request Eurodollar Loans (i) during a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.16 or (ii) if more than six Eurodollar Loans would be outstanding immediately after giving effect to the requested Borrowing.


 


(c)           Certain Note Provisions.  After the effectiveness of an assignment made pursuant to Section 10.2(b) and upon the request the applicable assignee, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to the applicable assignee, in exchange for any existing Notes evidencing the Revolving Loans so assigned theretofore delivered to the assigning Lender, new Notes in substantially the form of Exhibit B, as applicable, payable to such assignee, dated the relevant Borrowing date of such Loans so assigned, in a principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Loans so assigned and otherwise duly completed.  In the case of an assignment whereby the assigning Lender retains a portion of its Loans and upon the request of such assigning Lender, the Borrower shall also promptly execute and deliver to such assigning Lender in exchange for any existing Notes theretofore delivered to such Lender new Notes in substantially the form of Exhibit B, payable to such assigning Lender, dated the relevant Borrowing date of such assigning Lender’s Loans, in a principal amount equal to the aggregate 


 




  





-40-











  






principal amount of such assigning Lender’s Loans remaining after the effectiveness of such assignment.  Any and all costs and expenses that arise from this exchange of Notes shall be borne by the Assignee or the assigning Lender.


 


Section 2.3.   Borrowing Procedures.  (a) Requests for Borrowings.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 A.M. on (i) the first Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) the third Business Day, in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing.  Such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event at least one Business Day prior to such Borrowing, with such a Notice of Borrowing.    Each such telephonic and written Notice of Borrowing shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.2 or 2.3, as applicable:


 



	
  

	
(1)

	
the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;







 



	
  

	
(2)

	
[reserved];







 



	
  

	
(3)

	
the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;







 



	
  

	
(4)

	
in the case of a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the initial Interest Period to be applicable to such Borrowing, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”;







 



	
  

	
(5)

	
the amount of the then effective Revolving Borrowing Base, the current aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (without regard to the requested Borrowing) and the pro forma aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (giving effect to the requested Borrowing); and







 



	
  

	
(6)

	
the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed.







 


Each Revolving Loan Borrowing shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $50,000 and not less than $250,000.


 


(b)           Notice to Each Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall give to each Lender prompt notice of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing and, if Eurodollar Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate.  Each Lender shall, before 11:00 A.M. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to the Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 10.11, such Lender’s pro rata share of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment or due waiver on or prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to the Borrower.


 




  





-41-











  






(c)           Defaulting Lenders.  (i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing that such Lender will not make a payment in the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment (or any portion thereof) available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the proposed Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the proposed Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on the date of the proposed Borrowing a corresponding amount.  The Borrower agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such deficient amount (until repaid by such Lender) 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 the interest rate applicable to the Obligations that would have been created when the Administrative Agent made available such amount to the Borrower had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment by the Borrower shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to the Borrower.  In addition, any Lender that shall not have made available to the Administrative Agent any portion of any payment described above shall be deemed a Defaulting Lender and agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent on demand 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 the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter in the case of a payment in respect of any Revolving Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (and such default interest payable by such Lender shall be distributed to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent).  Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Revolving Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation, and promptly paid to the Borrower.  The existence of any Defaulting Lender shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations under any Loan Document, but no other Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any Defaulting Lender to make any payment required under any Loan Document.


 


(i)           Reallocation of Payments.  With respect to any Defaulting Lender which has failed to make payments when due under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity or otherwise), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the ratable payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agents; second, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agents as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and third, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.


 


(ii)           Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.4 and the payments of participation fees pursuant to Section 2.12(b), the “Applicable Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving 


 




  





-42-











  






Loan Commitment of that Defaulting Lender; provided that the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (a) the Revolving Loan Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (b) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans of that non-Defaulting Lender.


 


(d)           Defaulting Lender – Right to Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender to non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.


 


Section 2.4.   Letters of Credit.


 


(a)           General.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein (including Section 2.3(c) and (d)), each Issuing Bank agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the Lenders set forth in this Section 2.4, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars for the Borrower’s own account, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank, which shall reflect the standard operating procedures of such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Revolving Availability Period and before the fifth Business Day prior to the Revolving Maturity Date.

To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrower shall provide to the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (at least five Business Days before the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension or such shorter period as the applicable Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent may agree) a notice requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit substantially in the form of Exhibit I, or identifying the Letter of Credit to be amended, renewed or extended, and specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day), the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with clause (d) of this Section 2.4), the amount of such Letter of Credit, the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit.  If requested by the applicable Issuing Bank, the Borrower also shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit.  A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, 


 




  





-43-

No Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (x) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing the Letter of Credit, or any law applicable to such Issuing Bank any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit the issuance of letters of credit generally or the Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank with respect to the Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Initial Closing Date, or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Initial Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it, (y) except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the such Issuing Bank, the Letter of Credit is in an initial stated amount less than $100,000, in the case of a commercial Letter of Credit, or $500,000, in the case of a standby Letter of Credit or (z) any Lender is at that time a Defaulting Lender, if after giving effect to Section 2.3(c)(iii), any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding, unless such Issuing Bank has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, reasonably satisfactory to such Issuing Bank with the Borrower or such Lender to eliminate such Issuing Bank’s Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or such Letter of Credit and all other LC Exposure as to which such Issuing Bank has Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure.


 


(c)           Notice.  Each Issuing Bank agrees that it shall not permit any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of a Letter of Credit to occur unless it shall have given to the Administrative Agent written notice thereof required under clause (m) of this Section 2.4.


 


(d)           Expiration Date.  Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date that is one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) or such longer period as the Issuing Bank may reasonably agree and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date; provided that if such expiry date is not a Business Day, such Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the next succeeding Business Day; provided, further, that any Letter of Credit may, upon the request of the Borrower, include a provision whereby such Letter of Credit shall be renewed automatically for additional consecutive periods of one year or less (but not beyond the date that is five Business Days prior to the Revolving Maturity Date) unless the applicable Issuing Bank notifies the beneficiary thereof within the time period specified in such Letter of Credit or, if no such time period is specified, at least 30 days prior to the then-applicable expiration date, that such Letter of Credit will not be renewed; provided, further, that such Letter of Credit shall not expire on such expiry date if cash collateralized or backstopped, in each case pursuant to arrangements acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank.

(e)           Participations.  By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that is the issuer thereof or the Lenders, such Issuing Bank hereby grants to each Lender, and each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit.  In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of such Issuing Bank, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrower on the date due as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.4 of such LC Disbursement, or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason.  Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations and make payment pursuant to this clause (e)  and clause (f) below in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or any reduction or termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.


 


(f)           Reimbursement.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 4:00 P.M., on the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement.  If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof.  Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrower, in Dollars and in the same manner as provided in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.3(a)-(d) and  with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.3(a)-(d) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders pursuant to this clause (f)), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the applicable Issuing Bank the amounts so received by it from the Lenders.  Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to this clause (f), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Bank or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this clause (f) to reimburse such Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear.  Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this clause (f) to reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.


 


(g)           Obligations Absolute.  The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in clause (f) of this Section 2.4 is absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any actual or purported lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by an Issuing Bank 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 or (iv) 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, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.  None of the Agents, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.  The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, nonappealable judgment), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised care in each such determination.  In furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, an Issuing Bank may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and any such acceptance or refusal shall be deemed not to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct.


 


(h)           Disbursement Procedures.  Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement in accordance with clause (f) of this Section 2.4.


 


(i)           Interim Interest.  If an Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date such LC Disbursement is made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement when due pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.4, then the rate per annum then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall apply.  Interest accrued pursuant to this clause (i) shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to clause (f) of this Section 2.4 to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment and shall be payable 


 




  





-46-











  






on demand or, if no demand has been made, on the date on which the Borrower reimburses the applicable LC Disbursement in full.


 


(j)           Cash Collateralization.  If any Event of Default under Section 8.1(a), (d) or (e) shall occur and be continuing, on the Business Day on which the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all Lenders) demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this clause (j), the Borrower shall deposit in an account with the Collateral Agent, in the name of the Collateral Agent and for the benefit of the relevant Secured Parties, an amount of cash in Dollars equal to the portions of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit, as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to the Borrower described in Section 8.1(d) or (e).  The Borrower also shall deposit cash collateral pursuant to this clause (j) as and to the extent required by Section 2.9(d).  Each such deposit shall be held by the Collateral Agent as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations under the Loan Documents.  At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, if any Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure remains outstanding (after giving effect to Section 2.3(c)(iii)), then promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover such Defaulting Lender Fronting Exposure (after giving effect to any cash collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).  The Collateral Agent shall have exclusive dominion and control, including the exclusive right of withdrawal, over such account.  Other than any interest earned on the investment of such deposits, which investments shall be made at the option and sole discretion of the Collateral Agent in Permitted Investments and at the Borrower’s risk and expense, such deposits shall not bear interest.  Interest or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account.  Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Collateral Agent to reimburse the Issuing Banks for LC Disbursements for which they have not been reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrower for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated (but subject to the consent of Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the aggregate LC Exposure of all the Lenders), be applied to satisfy other Obligations under the Loan Documents.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default or the existence of a Defaulting Lender, such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be returned to the Borrower within three Business Days after all Defaults have been cured or waived or after the termination of Defaulting Lender status, as applicable.  If the Borrower is required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder pursuant to Section 2.9(d), such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid) shall be promptly returned to the Borrower as and to the extent that, after giving effect to such return, the Borrower would remain in compliance with Section 2.9(d) and no Default shall have occurred and be continuing.


 


(k)           Designation of Additional Issuing Banks.  The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, designate as additional Issuing Banks one or more Lenders that agree to serve in such capacity as provided below.  The acceptance by a Lender of an appointment as an Issuing Bank hereunder shall be evidenced by an agreement, which shall be in form and 


 




  





-47-











  






substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such designated Lender and, from and after the effective date of such agreement, (i) such Lender shall have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include such Lender in its capacity as an issuer of Letters of Credit hereunder.


 


(l)           Termination of an Issuing Bank.  The Borrower may terminate the appointment of any Issuing Bank as an “Issuing Bank” hereunder by providing notice thereof to such Issuing Bank, with a copy to the Administrative Agent.  Any such termination shall become effective upon the earlier of (i) such Issuing Bank’s acknowledging receipt of such notice and (ii) the fifth Business Day following the date of the delivery thereof; provided that no such termination shall become effective until and unless the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (or its Affiliates) shall have been reduced to zero.  At the time any such termination shall become effective, the Borrower shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the terminated Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.12(b).  Notwithstanding the effectiveness of any such termination, the terminated Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such termination, but shall not issue any additional Letters of Credit or be deemed an Issuing Bank for any other purpose.


 


(m)           Issuing Bank Reports to the Administrative Agent.  Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank shall, in addition to its notification obligations set forth elsewhere in this Section 2.4, report in writing to the Administrative Agent (i) periodic activity (for such period or recurrent periods as shall be requested by the Administrative Agent) in respect of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, including all issuances, extensions, amendments and renewals, all expirations and cancellations and all disbursements and reimbursements, (ii) within five Business Days following the time that such Issuing Bank issues, amends, renews or extends any Letter of Credit, the date of such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension, and the face amount of the Letters of Credit issued, amended, renewed or extended by it and outstanding after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (and whether the amounts thereof shall have changed), (iii) on each Business Day on which such Issuing Bank makes any LC Disbursement, the date and amount of such LC Disbursement, (iv) on any Business Day on which the Borrower fails to reimburse an LC Disbursement required to be reimbursed to such Issuing Bank on such day, the date of such failure and the amount of such LC Disbursement and (v) on any other Business Day, such other information as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request as to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.


 


Section 2.5.   Repayment of Obligations.


 


The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the full outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans (together with all accrued but unpaid interest) on the Revolving Maturity Date.

Section 2.6.            Termination and Reduction of Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount.


 


(a)           The Borrower may at any time terminate in its entirety, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $500,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.9(d), the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans would exceed the Revolving Loan Commitments.


 


(b)           The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount under Section 2.6(a) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.  Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof.  Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be irrevocable.  Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount shall be permanent and may not be reinstated.  Each reduction of the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage.


 


Section 2.7.            Revolving Borrowing Base.


 


(a)           Calculation of Revolving Borrowing Base. For any purpose of this Agreement, the term “Revolving Borrowing Base” shall be equal, as at any date, to the sum of (a)(i) the product of 90% multiplied by the applicable Revolving Borrowing Base Sum for any Eligible Receivables that are Universal Receivables, plus (ii) the product of 80% multiplied by the applicable Revolving Borrowing Base Sum for all Eligible Receivables except for any Universal Receivables. (b) For purposes of calculating the Revolving Borrowing Base, the “Revolving Borrowing Base Sum” means the sum of, as applicable:


 


(i)           the aggregate amount of Eligible Receivables at such date as set forth on the most recently delivered Accounts Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(n); plus


 


(ii)           the aggregate amount of accrued Receivables meeting the criteria set forth in the definition of “Eligible Receivables” due from Netflix or Amazon within 120 days of the date of determination and not included on the Accounts Report; plus


 


(iii)           30% of the aggregate value of Eligible Inventory at such date as set forth on the most recently delivered Inventory Log delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(o), but not more than $2,500,000 in any event; less


 


(iv)           a reserve for all mandatory payments on licensed content pursuant to the definition of Distributed and Licensed Content or Owned Library Content, including accrued royalties payable, participations and residuals payable, and financing corridors payable, calculated by multiplying (w) the aggregate amount of Eligible 


 




  





-49-











  






Receivables set forth in clause (i) above by (x) the Applicable Reserve Percentage, (y) the percentage of the Group Members’ revenues represented by revenues received from Distributed and Licensed Content and Owned Library Content and (z) 75%; less


 


(v)           a reserve for expected returns of entertainment content sales by the Loan Parties (other than any Loan Party that is a Foreign Subsidiary) equal to the Applicable Reserve Percentage of the amount shown as Eligible Receivables on the Accounts Report from sale of entertainment content at such date of determination. For purposes of this Section 2.7, “Applicable Reserve Percentage” means (1) 35%, from March 31, 2015 to June 30, 2015 and (2) thereafter a percentage, determined by the Administrative Agent (which shall provide notice of such percentage to the Borrower) on a quarterly basis for the next succeeding Fiscal Quarter that is supported by computations reasonably acceptable to the Lenders, equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the average actual returns of entertainment content sales by (y) gross sales, in each case during the 12 months immediately preceding such computation.


 


(b)           The Revolving Borrowing Base shall be computed on each Revolving Measurement Date pursuant to Section 6.1(k).


 


Section 2.8.   Voluntary Prepayments.  The Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal amount of any Revolving Loan in whole or in part at any time; provided, however, that each partial prepayment of principal shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000.  Any prepayments under this Section 2.8 shall be accompanied by (a) any amounts due and payable pursuant to Section 2.17(a) and (b) all accrued and unpaid interest on the amount prepaid and applied in accordance with Section 2.13.


 


Section 2.9.            Mandatory Prepayments.


 


(a)           [Reserved].


 


(b)           Debt Issuances.  Within one Business Day of receipt by any Loan Party of Net Cash Proceeds arising from the incurrence by any Group Member of Indebtedness of the type specified in clause (a) or (b) of the definition thereof (other than any such Indebtedness permitted hereunder in reliance upon any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 7.1), the Borrower shall in each case pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent a prepayment in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13 below.


 


(c)           Asset Sales. Within ten calendar days of receipt on or after the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date by any Group Member of Net Cash Proceeds arising from any Sale by any Group Member of any of Collateral included in the Borrowing Base (other than Sales of property permitted under clauses (a), (c)(i) and (d) of Section 7.4 but provided that a sale of Stock of any Subsidiary shall be deemed a Sale of any such Collateral owned or held by such Subsidiary), the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent a prepayment in an amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in accordance with Section 2.13 below; provided, however, that within ten calendar days of any such receipt, as long as no Default shall be continuing, any Group Member may make Permitted Reinvestments with such Net Cash Proceeds and the Borrower shall not be required to make or 


 




  





-50-











  






cause such payment to the extent (x) such Net Cash Proceeds are intended to be used to make Permitted Reinvestments and (y) on each Reinvestment Prepayment Date for such Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to the Reinvestment Prepayment Amount applicable to such Reinvestment Prepayment Date and such Net Cash Proceeds.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default, the Group Members’ right to make Permitted Reinvestments shall be suspended and all Net Cash Proceeds described above shall, at the direction of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (and automatically upon any Event of Default under Section 8.1(e)) be used to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.13 below.


 


(d)           Reduction of Revolving Loan Commitments.  If, at any time, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans exceeds the lesser of (i) the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount, and (ii) the Revolving Borrowing Base (as most recently determined) (any such date, an “Excess Date” and the amount of any such excess, the “Revolving Loan Excess”), the Borrower shall, as promptly as possible (but in no event later than three days following the Excess Date), either: (x) make a prepayment in respect of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of the Revolving Loan Excess or (y) deliver an Equity Raise Notice in respect of any portion of the Revolving Loan Excess for which it does not have sufficient cash on hand.  If the Borrower delivers an Equity Raise Notice in accordance with the foregoing, it shall have an additional six days from delivery of such Equity Raise Notice to make a prepayment in respect of the outstanding amount of the Revolving Loans in the amount of the Revolving Loan Excess solely from the proceeds of common equity securities of the Borrower.


 


(e)           [Reserved].


 


(f)           Change of Control. In the event that a Change of Control shall occur, not later than the Business Day next following such Change of Control, the Borrower shall immediately prepay the Revolving Loans as set forth in Section 2.13 below and the Commitments of each Lender shall be reduced to zero.


 


Section 2.10.   Interest.  (a) Rate.  All Loans shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date of the such Borrowing until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows: (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate as in effect from time to time and the Applicable Margin, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate as in effect for the applicable Interest Period and the Applicable Margin.


 


(b)           Payments.  Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears (i) if accrued on the principal amount of any Revolving Loan, (A) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, (B) in the case of a Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period therefor; (C) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise), and (D) upon the payment or prepayment of the principal amount on which such interest has accrued, and (ii) if accrued on any other Obligation, on demand from and after the time such Obligation is due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).


 




  





-51-











  






(c)           Default Interest.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Specified Event of Default or upon request from the Required Lenders after the occurrence of any other Event of Default, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the Borrower shall pay interest on the aggregate, outstanding principal amount of all Obligations hereunder (i) with respect to Base Rate Loans, at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate otherwise applicable to Base Rate Loans plus two percent (2.00%), (ii) with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) on and before the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan at a per annum rate equal to the interest rate otherwise applicable to such LIBOR Loan plus two percent (2.00%) and (B) thereafter at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus two percent (2.00%) (and from and after the end of such Interest Period at the interest rate described in clause (i) above) and (iii) if no such per annum rate is applicable to any such Obligations, at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate, plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans, plus two percent (2.00%) (the “Default Rate”), payable on demand.


 


Section 2.11.            Conversion and Continuation Options.  (a)  Option.  The Borrower may elect (i) in the case of any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (A) to continue such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof for an additional Interest Period on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and (B) to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.17(a), and (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans, to convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into Eurodollar Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon three Business Days’ prior notice; provided, however, that, (x) for each Interest Period, the aggregate amount of Eurodollar Rate Loans having such Interest Period must be an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and (y) 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 shall be permitted at any time during which (1) a Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.16.


 


(b)           Procedure.  Each such election shall be made by giving the Administrative Agent at least three Business Days’ prior notice in substantially the form of Exhibit D (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  If the Administrative Agent does not receive a timely Notice of Conversion or Continuation from the Borrower containing a permitted election to continue or convert any Eurodollar Rate Loan, then, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan.  Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their pro rata share.


 


Section 2.12.   Fees.


 


(a)           Commitment Fees.  The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee on the daily average unused amount of the Revolving Loan Commitment of such Lender, for each day during the period from the date of the Original Credit Agreement until the Revolving Termination Date, in each case at an annual percentage rate equal to: (i) 1.0% for any day during which the percentage determined by dividing (x) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and LC Exposures by (y) the Revolving Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount (such percentage, the 


 




  





-52-











  






“Revolving Utilization”) is equal to or less than 33.3%, (ii) 0.75% for any day during which the Revolving Utilization is more than 33.3% but less than 66.7% and (iii) 0.50% for any day during which the Revolving Utilization is equal to or more than 66.7%.  Accrued commitment fees are payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter and upon termination or expiry of the applicable Revolving Loan Commitments.  For purposes of computing commitment fees, a Revolving Loan Commitment of a Lender shall be deemed to be used to the extent of the outstanding Revolving Loans and LC Exposure of such Lender.


 


(b)           LC Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent in Dollars for the account of each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall accrue at the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Loans on the daily amount of such Lender’s LC Exposure (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Initial Closing Date to and including the later of the date on which such Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, and (ii) to each Issuing Bank in Dollars a fronting fee, which shall accrue at a rate equal to 0.125% per annum (or such lower rate as agreed between the Borrower and the relevant Issuing Bank) on the daily amount of the LC Exposure attributable to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank (excluding any portion thereof attributable to unreimbursed LC Disbursements) during the period from and including the Initial Closing Date to and including the later of the date of termination of the Revolving Loan Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, as well as such Issuing Bank’s standard fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or processing of drawings thereunder.  Participation fees and fronting fees shall be payable on the last Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter of each year, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Initial Closing Date; provided that all such fees shall be payable on the date on which the Revolving Loan Commitments terminate and any such fees accruing after the date on which the Revolving Loan  Commitments terminate shall be payable on demand.  Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this clause (b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand.  All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).


 


(c)           Fee Letters.  The Borrower shall pay all fees described in the Fee Letters in the amount, at the times and to the Persons specified therein.


 


Section 2.13.   Application of Payments.  (a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, all voluntary prepayments of principal received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Revolving Loans.


 


(b)           Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, (i) in the case of a mandatory prepayment consisting of the proceeds of a Sale of Collateral in accordance with Section 2.9(c), such proceeds shall be applied to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to the outstanding advances supported by the amount of Eligible Receivables that consist of such Collateral as of the date of such Sale and permanent reduction of commitments in an equivalent amount and (ii) to the extent not applied pursuant to clause (i) above, any mandatory 


 




  





-53-











  






prepayments made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.9 shall be applied (A) first, to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans and permanent reduction of commitments in an equivalent amount and all amounts then owing with respect to corresponding termination of Secured Hedging Documents and (B) second, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.


 


(c)           Application of Payments During an Event of Default.  The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party and each other Group Member to waive, the right to direct the application during the continuance of an Event of Default of any and all payments in respect of any Obligation and any proceeds of Collateral and agrees that, notwithstanding the provisions of clauses (a) and (b) above, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Collateral Agent, may, and, upon either (i) the direction of the Required Lenders or (ii) the acceleration of any Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2, shall, apply or cause the application of all payments in respect of any Obligation, all proceeds of Collateral (A) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent, (B) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the other Agents, (C) third, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, (D) fourth, to pay interest then due and payable hereunder, (E) fifth, to the ratable payment of the outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans, unreimbursed LC Disbursements and all amounts then owing with respect to Secured Hedging Documents and (F) sixth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.


 


(d)           Application of Payments Generally.  All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on any portion of the Revolving Loans that the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any unreimbursed LC Disbursement, in each case for which the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the Issuing Bank has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or the Borrower, second to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations, third, to repay the Revolving Loans.  All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first, to repay the Revolving Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay the Revolving Loans outstanding as Eurodollar Rate Loans, with those Eurodollar Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.  All repayments of Revolving Loans and amounts owing by the Borrower under Letters of Credit shall be applied to ratably reduce the outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans and unreimbursed LC Disbursements unless otherwise provided in any Loan Document.  If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.13, the available amounts shall be applied, unless otherwise expressly specified herein, to such Obligations ratably based on the proportion of the Secured Parties’ interest in such Obligations.  Any priority level set forth in this Section 2.13 that includes interest shall include all such interest, whether or not accruing after the filing of any petition in bankruptcy or the commencement of any insolvency, reorganization or similar proceeding, and whether or not a claim for post-filing or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding.


 


(e)           Except to the extent otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) the Revolving Loans shall be made and any reduction of the Revolving Loan Commitments shall be 


 




  





-54-











  






made, pro rata according to the respective amounts of the Revolving Loan Commitments; (ii) each payment or prepayment of principal of the Revolving Loans shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them; and (iii) each payment of interest hereunder shall be made for account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts of interest on the Revolving Loans then due and payable to them.


 


Section 2.14.   Payments and Computations.  (a)  Procedure.  Unless otherwise specified under the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document (including fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements) not later than 12:00 noon on the day when due to the Administrative Agent by wire transfer to such account or by such other means to such other address as the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Borrower in writing within a reasonable time prior to such payment in immediately available Dollars and without setoff 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 Lenders or Issuing Bank or participant in a Letter of Credit, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.13.  The Lenders and Issuing Banks shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim.  Payments received by the Administrative Agent after 12:00 noon shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.  Payments to be made directly to any Issuing Bank shall be made as expressly provided herein.


 


(b)           Computations of Interests and Fees.  All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (or, in the case of Base Rate Loans whose interest rate is calculated based on the rate set forth in clause (a) of the definition of “Base Rate”, 365/366 days), 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 of an interest rate or the amount of a fee hereunder shall be made by the Administrative Agent (including determinations of a Eurodollar Rate or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of “Eurodollar Rate” and “Base Rate”, respectively) and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


(c)           Payment Dates.  Unless otherwise specified herein, 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 without any increase in such payment as a result of additional interest or fees; provided, however, that such interest and fees shall continue accruing as a result of such extension of time.


 


(d)           Advancing Payments.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower to the Lenders or the Issuing Banks 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 


 




  





-55-











  






distributed to each Lender or Issuing Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender or Issuing Bank.  If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each applicable Lender and Issuing Bank shall severally repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender or Issuing Bank together with interest thereon (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 or Issuing until the date such Lender or Issuing Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 2.15.             Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Records of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Revolving Loan of such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement.  In addition, each Lender having sold a participation in any of its Obligations or having identified an SPV as such to the Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify the Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (i) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (ii) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder (such records, 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) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that the an Indebtedness of the Borrower is in “registered form” for tax purposes.


 


(b)           Records of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent, acting as agent of the Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.15, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.11 (or at such other address as the Administrative Agent may notify the Borrower) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Administrative Agent agrees to record (i) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.19 and Section 10.2), (ii) the Revolving Loan Commitment of each Lender, (iii) the amount of each Revolving Loan, any LC Disbursements and each funding of any participation described in clause (b)(i) above and for Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (iv) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (v) information received from the Issuing Banks pursuant to Section 2.4(m) and (vi) any other payment received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower and its application to the Obligations.


 


(c)           Registered Obligations.  This Section 2.15 and Section 10.2 shall be construed so that the Revolving Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (and any successor provisions).


 


(d)           Prima Facie Evidence.  The entries made in the Register and in the accounts maintained pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) above shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided, however, that no error in such account and no failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain any such account, which in either case shall be promptly corrected, shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Revolving 


 




  





-56-











  






Loans in accordance with their actual terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No Lender shall, in such capacity, have access to or be otherwise permitted to review any information in the Register other than information with respect to such Lender unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 2.16.   Suspension of Eurodollar Rate Option.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article II, the following shall apply:


 


(a)           Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the Eurodollar Rate is determined or (ii) the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to the Lenders of making or maintaining any Revolving Eurodollar Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that the Required Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall promptly so notify the Borrower once such circumstances no longer exist; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any failure to give such notice.


 


(b)           Illegality.  If any Lender determines that the introduction of, or any change in or in the interpretation of, any Requirement of Law after the date of this Agreement shall make it unlawful, or any 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, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through the Administrative Agent, notify the Borrower that it has determined that it may lawfully make Eurodollar Rate Loans.  The Administrative Agent and each such Lender shall promptly so notify the Borrower once such circumstances no longer exist; provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any failure to give such notice.


 


(c)           Effect of Suspension.  If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue Eurodollar Rate Loans is suspended, (i) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, (ii) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) the Borrower may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any Eurodollar Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a Eurodollar Rate Loan and (iv) each Eurodollar Rate Loan of such Lender shall automatically and immediately (or, in the case of any suspension pursuant to clause (a) above, on the last day of the current Interest Period thereof) be converted into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 2.17.   Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.  (a)  Breakage Costs.  The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to the Administrative Agent), for all Liabilities (including, in each case, those incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to prepare to fund, to fund or to maintain the Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to the Borrower but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans) that such Lender incurs (i) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender, a 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 or in a similar request made by telephone by the Borrower, (ii) to the extent any Eurodollar Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.16) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (iii) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay Eurodollar Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it using a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London interbank market.


 


(b)           Increased Costs.  If at any time any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that the adoption of, after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, or any change, after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, in or in the interpretation, application or administration of any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority, or compliance with any such adoption of or any change in, or in the interpretation, application or administration of, any such Requirement of Law shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank of making, funding or maintaining any Eurodollar Rate Loan or participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or issue any Letter of Credit)  or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) imposing any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b)-(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit or participations therein, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or Issuing Bank with respect to compliance with its obligations, in each case, related to any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such increased cost.


 


(c)           Increased Capital Requirements.  If at any time any Lender or Issuing Bank determines that the adoption of, after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, or any change, after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, in or in the interpretation, application or administration of any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority, or compliance with any such adoption of or any change in, or in the interpretation, application or administration of, any such Requirement of Law, in each case, regarding capital adequacy, reserves, special deposits, compulsory loans, insurance charges against property of, deposits with or for the account of, Obligations owing to, or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or Issuing Bank 




  





-58-











  






or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Eurodollar Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or Issuing Bank as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender or Issuing Bank, such Lender or Issuing Bank could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or Issuing Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or Issuing Bank amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or Issuing Bank for such reduction.


 


(c)           Compensation Certificate.  Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.17 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or Issuing Bank claiming such compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder and stating that it is seeking such compensation from its similarly situated borrowers generally, which certificate shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender or Issuing Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.


 


(d)           Additional Costs.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, regardless of the date enacted or adopted and shall constitute a change in Requirement of Law and (ii) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to “Basel III”, are deemed to have been introduced or adopted after the date of the Original Credit Agreement, regardless of the date enacted or adopted and shall constitute a change in Requirement of Law.


 


Section 2.18.   Taxes. (a)  Payments Free and Clear of Taxes.  Except as otherwise provided in this Section 2.18, each payment by any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of Taxes except as required by a Requirement of Law.  If any Requirement of Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Loan Party, then the applicable Loan Party 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 Requirements of Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party 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 Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.


 


(b)           Other Taxes.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay, and authorizes the Administrative Agent to pay in its name, any stamp, documentary, excise or property Tax, charges or similar levies imposed by any applicable Requirement of Law or Governmental Authority and all Liabilities with respect thereto (including by reason of any delay in payment thereof), in each case arising from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein (collectively, “Other


 




  





-59-











  






Taxes”).  Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes or Other Taxes by any Loan Party pursuant to this Section 2.18, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.11, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing or other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent of payment thereof.


 


(c)           Indemnification.  The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within 30 days after receipt of demand therefor (with copy to the Administrative Agent), each Secured Party for all Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (including any Taxes and Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 2.18) paid by such Secured Party and any Liabilities arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  A certificate of the Secured Party (or of the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Secured Party) claiming any compensation under this clause (c), setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower with copy to the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.


 


(d)           Administrative Agent’s Tax Indemnity.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 30 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 2.15(a) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (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 (d).


 


(e)           Mitigation.  Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall use its reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and Requirements of Law) to change the jurisdiction of its lending office if such a change would reduce any such additional amounts (or any similar amount that may thereafter accrue) and would not, in the sole determination of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or impose any costs (which the Borrower has declined to reimburse) on such Lender.


 


(f)           Tax Forms.  (i) Each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall (w) on or prior to the date such Non-U.S. Lender Party becomes a “Non-U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (x) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (y) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (z) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, by the 


 




  





-60-











  






relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of each of the following, as applicable: (A) Forms W-8ECI (claiming complete exemption from U.S. withholding tax because the income is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business), W-8BEN (claiming complete or partial exemption from U.S. withholding tax under an income tax treaty) or any successor forms; (B) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption under Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code, Form W-8BEN (claiming exemption from U.S. withholding tax under the portfolio interest exemption) or any successor form and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code or (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code; (C) to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender Party is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable, provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender Party is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-Lender Party are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender Party may provide a U.S. certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner, or (D) to the extent the Non-U.S. Lender Party is legally entitled to do so, any other applicable document prescribed by the IRS certifying as to the entitlement of such Non-U.S. Lender Party to such exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to all payments to be made to such Non-U.S. Lender Party under the Loan Documents.  Each Non-U.S. Lender Party 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.


 


(ii)          Each U.S. Lender Party shall (A) on or prior to the date such U.S. Lender Party becomes a “U.S. Lender Party” hereunder, (B) on or prior to the date on which any such form or certification expires or becomes obsolete, (C) after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form or certification previously delivered by it pursuant to this clause (f) and (D) from time to time if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender), provide the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or, in the case of a participant or SPV, the relevant Lender) with two completed originals of Form W-9 (certifying that such U.S. Lender Party is entitled to an exemption from U.S. backup withholding tax) or any successor form.


 


(iii)         If this Agreement (as it may be modified) is not treated as a Grandfathered Obligation and 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 


 




  





-61-











  






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


 


(g)           Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This clause (g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.


 


(h)           Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.18 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, the expiration of a Letter of Credit and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations.


 


(i)           For purposes of this Section 2.18, the term “Lender” shall include any Issuing Bank.


 


Section 2.19.   Substitution of Lenders.  (a)  Substitution Right.  Unless a Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event that any Lender (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) or (c) of Section 2.17, (ii) notifies the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.17(b) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any Eurodollar Rate Loan, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.18(a) or (c), (iv) becomes a Defaulting Lender or (v) does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders, the Borrower may either pay in full such Affected Lender with respect to amounts due with the consent of the Administrative Agent or substitute for such Affected Lender any Lender or any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender or any other Person acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to the Administrative Agent (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).


 




  





-62-











  






(b)           Procedure.  To substitute such Affected Lender or pay in full the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender, the Borrower shall deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender.  The effectiveness of such payment or substitution shall be subject to the delivery to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower (or, as may be applicable in the case of a substitution, by the Substitute Lender) of (i) payment for the account of such Affected Lender, of, to the extent accrued through, and outstanding on, the effective date for such payment or substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender (including those that will be owed because of such payment and all Obligations that would be owed to such Lender if it was solely a Lender) and (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 10.2(c) and (B) an Assignment whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agrees to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Revolving Loans of the Affected Lender.


 


(c)           Effectiveness.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, the Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) the Affected Lender shall sell and be relieved of, and the Substitute Lender shall purchase and assume, all rights and claims of such Affected Lender under the Loan Documents, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations, (ii) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder holding the outstanding Loans of such Affected Lender and (iii) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession; provided, however, that the failure of any Affected Lender to execute any such Assignment or deliver any such Note shall not render such sale and purchase (or the corresponding assignment) invalid.

Section 4.2.            Power and Authority; No Conflicts; Due Execution, Delivery and Enforceability.  (a) Power and Authority; No Conflicts.  The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the consummation of the transactions contemplated therein (i) are within such Loan Party’s corporate or similar powers and, at the time of execution thereof, shall have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or similar action (including, if applicable, consent of holders of its Securities), (ii) do not (A) contravene such Loan Party’s Constituent Documents, (B) violate any applicable Requirement of Law, (C) conflict with, contravene, constitute a default or breach under, or result in or permit the termination or acceleration of, any material Contractual Obligation of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (including other Loan Documents), other than those in the case of clause (B) and clause (C) that (1) would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect and (2) are not created or caused by, or a conflict, breach, default or termination or acceleration event under, any Loan Document or (D) result in the imposition of any Lien (other than in favor of the Collateral Agent) upon any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries and (iii) do not require any Permit of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority or any consent of, or notice to, any Person, other than (A) with respect to the Loan Documents, the filings required to perfect the Liens created by the Loan Documents and (B) those listed on Schedule 4.2 and that have been obtained or made, copies of which have been delivered to the Administrative Agent, and each of which is in full force and effect.

Except as provided in the Constituent Documents delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Initial Closing Date, there are no Contractual Obligations or other understandings to which the Borrower, any Group Member, any Subsidiary of any Group Member or any joint venture of any of them is a party with respect to (including any restriction on) the issuance, voting, Sale or pledge of any Stock or Stock Equivalent of any Group Member or any such Subsidiary or joint venture.


 


Section 4.4.            Financial Statements.

(b)           On the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, (i) no Group Member has any material liability or other obligation (including Indebtedness, Guaranty Obligations, contingent liabilities and liabilities for taxes, long-term leases and unusual forward or long-term commitments) that is not reflected in the Financial Statements referred to in clause (a) above or in the notes thereto and not otherwise permitted by this Agreement and (ii) since the date of the Financial Statements referenced in clause (a) above, there has been no Sale of any material property of the Group Members and no purchase or other acquisition of any material property.


 


(c)           The Current Projections were prepared by the Borrower, in light of the operations of the business of the Group Members and reflect projections for the period beginning on the Second Amendment and Effective Date and ending March 31, 2018 on a quarterly basis for the first year and on a year-by-year basis thereafter (but without taking into account the availability and use of proceeds from the Convertible Notes offering). As of the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, the Current Projections were based upon estimates and assumptions stated therein, all of which the Borrower believed to be reasonable and fair in light of conditions and facts known to such Persons as of the Initial Closing Date and reflected the good faith, reasonable and fair estimates by such Persons of the future consolidated financial performance of the Group Members and the other information projected therein for the periods set forth therein.


 


Section 4.5.   Material Adverse Effect.  Since March 31, 2014, there have been no events, circumstances, developments or other changes in facts that would, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

-68-











  






than those that (a) cannot reasonably be expected to affect the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the other transactions contemplated therein, any Distribution Agreement, any OLC Agreement or any GVE Agreement and (b) would not have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.


 


Section 4.8.            Taxes.  All federal and material state, local and foreign income and franchise and other tax returns, reports and statements (collectively, the “Tax Returns”) required to be filed by any Tax Affiliate have been filed with the appropriate Governmental Authorities in all jurisdictions in which such Tax Returns are required to be filed, all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects, and all taxes, charges and other impositions reflected therein or otherwise due and payable have been paid prior to the date due except Taxes that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Person has set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.  No Tax Return is under audit or examination by any Governmental Authority and no notice of such an audit or examination or any assertion of any claim for taxes has been given or made by any Governmental Authority, except such audit, examination or claim as could not, if adversely determined, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Tax Affiliate from their respective employees for all periods in full and complete compliance with the tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of applicable Requirements of Law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities.

No Group Member is a party to any Contractual Obligation, no Group Member has Constituent Documents containing obligations, and, to the knowledge of any Group Member, there are no applicable Requirements of Law, in each case the compliance with which would have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  No Group Member (and, to the knowledge of each Group Member, no other party thereto) is in default under or with respect to any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member, which Contractual Obligation is material to the operation of the Group Member’s business and which default gives the applicable third party the right to terminate such Contractual Obligation.


 


Section 4.11.            Investment Company Act.  No Group Member is an “investment company” or an “affiliated person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” for, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940.

On the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, no ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remain outstanding.  No ERISA Affiliate would have any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a complete withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan on the date this representation is made.  No ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA that remains outstanding (other than PBGC premiums due but not delinquent).

All facts known to the Borrower or any Group Member and material to the financial condition, business, property or prospects of the Borrower or the Group Members taken as one enterprise have been disclosed to the Lenders.

and provided, further, that (x) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Loan Document of, or any payment to, any Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article IX or the application thereof) or any SPV that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 10.2(f) unless in writing and signed by such Agent or, as the case may be, such SPV in addition to any signature otherwise required, (y) the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.13(c), and (z) the consent of the Supermajority Lenders will be required with respect to amendments and modifications that either (A) change the advance rates in respect of the Loan Documents (including the conditions to the calculation of the Revolving Borrowing Base), (b) alter the definition of Collateral in a manner that is less favorable to the Lenders; or (c) alter Section 2.7 or Revolving Borrowing Base in a manner that is less favorable to the Lenders or affects the amount of Revolving Loans to be made thereunder.


 


(b)           Each waiver or consent under any Loan Document shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.  No notice to or demand on any Loan Party shall entitle any Loan Party to any notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances.  No failure on the part of any Secured Party 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.

(c)           Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments, consents and waivers hereunder and the outstanding Loans of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders, Supermajority Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment, consent or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders” and “Supermajority Lenders” will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period); provided, that any such amendment, consent or waiver that would increase or extend the term of such Loans of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.


 


(d)           No such amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall (i) alter the ratable treatment of the Secured Hedging Obligations in right of payment to principal on the Revolving Loans or (ii) result in the Secured Hedging Obligations becoming unsecured, in each case, in a manner adverse to such Secured Hedging Counterparty unless such amendment waiver or consent has been consented to in writing by (A) in the case of a Hedging Arrangement between the Borrower and a Secured Hedging Counterparty provided or arranged by a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, (x) such Lender or Affiliate (but only if such Lender is a “Lender” as of the date of such amendment, waiver or consent) or (y) if such Lender is not a “Lender” as of such date, the affected Secured Hedging Counterparty party thereto and (B) in the case of all other Hedging Arrangements evidencing Secured Hedging Obligations, the affected Secured Hedging Counterparty party thereto.


 


Section 10.2.   Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.  (a) Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and each Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender that such Lender has executed it.  Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, the Borrower (except for Article IX), each Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender and, to the extent provided in Section 9.13, each other Indemnitee and Secured Party and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.  Except as expressly provided in any Loan Document (including in Section 9.9, 9.10 and 9.11), none of the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Issuing Banks or the Agents shall have the right to assign any rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein.


 


(b)           Right to Assign.  Each Lender may sell, transfer, negotiate or assign all or a portion of its rights and obligations hereunder (including all or a portion of its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender, (ii) any Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender or (iii) any Eligible Assignee consented to in writing by the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Bank (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof) unless a Default has occurred and is 


 




  





-105-











  






continuing, in which case, no such consent is required; provided, however, that (x) such Sales must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender and (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit subject to any such Sale shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, unless such Sale is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates’ and Approved Funds’) entire interest in the Revolving Loans or is made with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.


 


(c)           Procedure.  The parties to each Sale made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) or (f) below) shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (which shall keep a copy thereof) an Assignment, together with any Note issued pursuant to Section 2.2(c), any existing Note subject to such Sale (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to the Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.18(f) and payment by the assignee of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that (i) no assignment fee shall be due and payable with respect to assignments (x) between Lenders and their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds or (y) involving either of the Agents and/or the Syndication Agent or Documentation Agent, as applicable, (ii) in the case of multiple assignments occurring on the same Business Day to any permitted assignee referenced in clause (b) above and its respective Affiliates or Approved Funds, only one assignment fee shall be due and payable and (iii) unless a Default has occurred and is continuing or as required pursuant to Section 2.19, the costs and expenses associated with the preparation and consummation of the Assignment shall be for the account of the assignor and assignee.  Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, the Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.


 


(d)           Effectiveness.  Effective upon the entry of such record in the Register, (i) such assignee 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, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender, (ii) any applicable Note shall be transferred to such assignee through such entry 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, relinquish its rights (except for those surviving the termination of the Commitments and 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 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 except that each Lender agrees to remain bound by Article IX, Section 10.8 and Section 10.9 to the extent provided in Section 9.13).


 


(e)           Grant of Security Interests.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.


 




  





-106-











  






(f)           Participants and SPVs.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 10.2, each Lender may, (i) with notice to the Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV the option to make all or any part of any Revolving Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by such SPV and the making of Loans pursuant thereto shall satisfy the obligation of such Lender to make such Loans hereunder) and such SPV may assign to such Lender the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (ii) without notice to or consent from the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents (including all its rights and obligations with respect to the Revolving Loans and the Letters of Credit; provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (A) no such SPV or participant shall have a commitment, or be deemed to have made an offer to commit, to make Loans hereunder, and, except as provided in the applicable option agreement, none shall be liable for any obligation of such Lender hereunder; (B) such Lender’s rights and obligations, and the rights and obligations of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties towards such Lender, under any Loan Document shall remain unchanged and each other party hereto shall continue to deal solely with such Lender, which shall remain the holder of the Obligations in the Register, except that (x) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.17 and 2.18, but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.18(f) to the selling Lender and then only to the extent of any amount to which such Lender would be entitled in the absence of any such grant or participation and (y) each such SPV may receive other payments that would otherwise be made to such Lender with respect to Loans funded by such SPV to the extent provided in the applicable option agreement and set forth in a notice provided to the Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (x) or (y) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document; and (C) the consent of such SPV or participant shall not be required (either directly, as a restraint on such Lender's ability to consent hereunder or otherwise) for any amendments, waivers or consents with respect to any Loan Document or to exercise or refrain from exercising any powers or rights such Lender may have under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including the right to enforce or direct enforcement of the Obligations), except for those described in clauses (C) and (D) of Section 10.1(a) with respect to amounts, or dates fixed for payment of amounts, to which such participant or SPV would otherwise be entitled and, in the case of participants, except for those described in Section 10.1(a)(v) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 9.12 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral).  No party hereto shall institute (and the Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (f) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, that each Lender having designated an SPV as such agrees to indemnify each Indemnitee against any Liability that may be incurred by, or asserted against, such Indemnitee as a result of failing to institute such proceeding (including a failure to get reimbursed by such SPV for any such Liability).  The agreement in the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations.


 


Section 10.3.   Costs and Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, any action taken by any Loan Party under or with respect to any Loan Document, even if required under any Loan Document or at the request of any Secured Party, shall be at the

expense of such Loan Party, and no Secured Party shall be required under any Loan Document to reimburse any Loan Party or Group Member therefor.  In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) the Agents and the Joint Lead Arrangers for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by any of them or any of their Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation or administration of, any modification of any term of or termination of, any Loan Document, any commitment or proposal letter therefor, any other document prepared in connection therewith or the consummation and administration of any transaction contemplated therein (including periodic audits in connection therewith and environmental audits and assessments), in each case including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of legal counsel to the Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Revolving Loans by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, (b) the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any of them or any of their Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations (which shall be reimbursed, in addition to the out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such examiners, at the per diem rate per individual charged by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for its examiners), (c) any Acceptable Appraiser in connection with all reports and work related to the Loan Documents and (d) each of the Joint Lead Arrangers, Agents, their Related Persons, each Lender and each Issuing Bank for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work-out,” (ii) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document, any Obligation, with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy or (iii) the commencement, defense, conduct of, intervention in, or the taking of any other action with respect to, any proceeding (including any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding) related to any Loan Party, Loan Document or Obligation (or the response to and preparation for any subpoena or request for document production relating thereto), including fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel).


 


Section 10.4.   Indemnities.  (a) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Joint Lead Arranger, each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Bank, each Person that an Issuing Bank causes to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, each Person (other than the Borrower) party to a Secured Hedging Document and each of their respective Related Persons (each such Person being an “Indemnitee”) from and against all Liabilities (including brokerage commissions, fees and other compensation) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of (i) any Loan Document, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Revolving Loan or Letter of Credit, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Loan Party, (ii) any commitment letter, proposal letter or term sheet with any Person or any Contractual Obligation, arrangement or understanding with any broker, finder or consultant, in each case entered into by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with any of the foregoing and any Contractual Obligation entered into in connection with any E-Systems or other Electronic Transmissions and this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding relating to any of the matters described in clause (i) or (ii) of this Section 10.4, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including 


 




  





-108-











  






reasonable attorneys’ fees in any case), whether or not any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto, and whether or not based on any securities or commercial law or regulation or any other Requirement of Law or theory thereof, including common law, equity, contract, tort or otherwise, or (iv) any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Indemnified Matters”); provided, however, that the Borrower shall not have any liability under this Section 10.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter (to the extent such Indemnitee would otherwise be liable) other than, to the extent such liability has resulted solely from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Furthermore, the Borrower waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive and not assert against any Indemnitee, any right of contribution with respect to any Liabilities that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any Related Person.


 


(ab           Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes all Environmental Liabilities, including those arising from, or otherwise involving, any property of any Related Person or any actual, alleged or prospective damage to property or natural resources or harm or injury alleged to have resulted from any Release of Hazardous Materials on, upon or into such property or natural resource or any property on or contiguous to any real property of any Related Person, whether or not, with respect to any such Environmental Liabilities, any Indemnitee is a mortgagee pursuant to any leasehold mortgage, a mortgagee in possession, the successor-in-interest to any Related Person or the owner, lessee or operator of any property of any Related Person through any foreclosure action, in each case except to the extent such Environmental Liabilities (i) are incurred solely following foreclosure by any Secured Party or following any Secured Party having become the successor-in-interest to any Loan Party and (ii) are attributable solely to acts of such Indemnitee.


 


Section 10.5.   Survival.  Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17, Section 2.18, Article IX, Section 10.3, Section 10.4 or this Section 10.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (a) survive the termination of the Commitments, issuance of any Letters of Credit and the payment in full of other Obligations and (b) inure to the benefit of any Person that at any time held a right thereunder (as an Indemnitee or otherwise) and, thereafter, its successors and permitted assigns.


 


Section 10.6.            Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.  In no event shall any Indemnitee be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  The Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive, release and agree) 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.


 


Section 10.7.            Lender-Creditor Relationship.  The relationship between the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Agents, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of lender and creditor.  No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture 


 




  





-109-











  






relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.


 


Section 10.8.            Right of Setoff.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank each Lender and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them are hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by the Borrower), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured.  Each of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender, Issuing Bank or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights under this Section 10.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.


 


Section 10.9.            Sharing of Payments, Etc.  If any Lender, directly or through an Affiliate or branch office thereof, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) other than pursuant to Sections 2.17, 2.18 and 2.19 and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Secured Parties such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Secured Parties to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been received by the Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of the Borrower, applied to repay the Obligations in accordance herewith); provided, however, that (a) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender or Issuing Bank in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or Issuing Bank without interest and (b) such Lender or Issuing Bank shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender or Issuing Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.


 


Section 10.10.          Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.  No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any Obligation.  To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a 


 




  





-110-











  






trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 10.17.            Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement 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.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or Electronic Transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.


 


Section 10.18.            Entire Agreement.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement of the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter thereof and any prior letter of interest, commitment letter, fee letter, confidentiality and similar agreements involving any Loan Party and any of the Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates relating to a financing of substantially similar form, purpose or effect.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Agreement shall govern (unless such terms of such other Loan Documents are necessary to comply with applicable Requirements of Law, in which case such terms shall govern to the extent necessary to comply therewith).

The Borrower agrees, and shall cause each other Loan Party to agree, that it shall not, and none of its Affiliates shall, issue any press release or other public disclosure (other than any document filed with any Governmental Authority relating to a public offering of the Securities of any Loan Party) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to SG, OneWest Bank, FSB or of any of their Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least two Business Days’ prior notice to SG and OneWest Bank, FSB and without the prior consent of SG and OneWest Bank, FSB except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with SG and OneWest Bank, FSB prior thereto.


 


Section 10.20.            Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.  (a) Each Lender and each Issuing Bank acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Securities and agrees to use such information in compliance with all relevant policies, procedures and Contractual Obligations and applicable Requirements of Laws (including United States federal and state security laws and regulations).


 


(b)           Each Lender, each Issuing Bank and each Agent agrees to use all reasonable efforts to maintain, in accordance with its customary practices, the confidentiality of information obtained by it pursuant to any Loan Document and designated in writing by any Loan Party as confidential, except that such information may be disclosed (i) with the Borrower’s prior written consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, each Issuing Bank or Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any Issuing Bank causes to issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are 


 




  





-114-











  






instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, Issuing Bank or Agent, as the case may be, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than any Loan Party, (iv) to the extent disclosure is required by applicable Requirements of Law or other legal process or requested or demanded by any Governmental Authority, (v) to the extent necessary or customary for inclusion in league table measurements or in any tombstone or other advertising materials (provided that disclosure in any tombstone or other advertising materials shall be limited to matters previously disclosed in any press release made by or on behalf of a Loan Party or otherwise consented to in writing by the Borrower), (vi) to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, any examiner or any nationally recognized rating agency or otherwise to the extent consisting of general portfolio information that does not identify the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 10.2(f) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Secured Hedging Document or any Hedging Agreement permitted hereunder and to their respective Related Persons, in each case to the extent such assignees, participants, counterparties or Related Persons agree to be bound by provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section 10.20 and (viii) in connection with the exercise of any remedy under any Loan Document.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 10.20 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 10.20 shall govern.


 


Section 10.21.   USA Patriot Act; OFAC.  Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, each other Group Member and each shareholder of the Borrower holding 10% or more of the outstanding common shares, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.  In addition, Borrower agrees to (a) ensure that no Person who owns a controlling interest in or otherwise controls Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower is or shall be listed on the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Person List or other similar lists maintained by OFAC, the Department of the Treasury or included in any Executive Order of the President of the United States, (b) not to use or permit the use of proceeds of the Obligations to violate any of the foreign asset control regulations of the OFAC or any enabling statute or Executive Order of the President of the United States relating thereto, and (c) comply, or cause its Subsidiaries to comply, with the applicable laws.


 


Section 10.22.   Effect of Amendment and Restatement.  As of the Second Amendment and Restatement Effective Date, this Agreement shall amend, and restate as amended, the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, but shall not constitute a novation thereof or in any way impair or otherwise affect the rights or obligations of the parties thereunder (including with respect to Revolving Loans and Revolving Commitments and representations and warranties made thereunder) except as such rights or obligations are amended or modified hereby.  The First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement as amended and restated hereby shall be deemed to be a continuing agreement among the parties, and all documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to or in connection with the First Amended and Restated Credit Agreement not amended and restated in connection with the entry of the parties into this Agreement shall
