In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later specified date in any Loan Document, the terms “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to but excluding” and the word “through” means “to and including.”  In any other case, the term “including” when used in any Loan Document means “including without limitation.”  The term “documents” means all writings, however evidenced and whether in physical or electronic form, including all documents, instruments, agreements, notices, demands, certificates, forms, financial statements, opinions and reports.

48











 

materiality” applicable in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document.

If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-1 exceeds the lesser of (x) Borrowing Base — Tranche A-1 and (y) the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1 of all Lenders then in effect (any such excess is herein referred to as a “Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1 Overadvance”), Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1, no additional Letters of Credit shall be issued and the Revolving Loans — Tranche A-1 must be repaid immediately and Letters of Credit cash collateralized in an amount sufficient to eliminate any Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1 Overadvance.

Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a)(i), amounts of Revolving Loans — Tranche A-2 repaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1, and

 

(iii)                               in addition, on Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $25,000,000 and by such Lender not to exceed such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment — FILO Tranche (each such loan a “Revolving Loan — FILO Tranche”); provided, however, that, at no time shall any Revolving Credit Lender be obligated to make a Revolving Loan — FILO Tranche in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments — FILO Tranche; provided, further, that no Revolving Loan — FILO Tranche to be made shall exceed the Borrowing Availability — FILO Tranche (any such excess is herein referred to as a “Revolving Loan — FILO Tranche Overadvance”).

For the avoidance of doubt, amounts of Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche repaid may not be reborrowed under this Section 2.1.

 

(b)                                 Subsequent Advances.

(a)                                 Notice From Borrower.  Each Borrowing shall be made on notice given by GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers to Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the date that is one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Borrowing of a Base Rate Loan or 10:00 am on the date that is three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Borrowing of a LIBOR Rate Loan.  Each such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Notice of Borrowing”) duly completed and delivered prior to such Borrowing.  Revolving Loans shall be

 

50











 

made as Base Rate Loans unless, outside of a suspension period pursuant to Section 2.15, the Notice of Borrowing specifies that all or a portion thereof shall be LIBOR Rate Loans.  Each Borrowing of a Revolving Loan — Tranche A shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $250,000.  In the case of (i) the Borrowing on the Closing Date and (ii) each subsequent Borrowing in the event the Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A are greater than or equal to 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment, each Notice of Borrowing shall be accompanied by a Borrowing Base Certificate.

 

(b)                                 Notice to Each Lender.  Administrative Agent shall give to each applicable Lender prompt notice of Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in respect of a tranche in which it participates and, if LIBOR Rate Loans are properly requested in such Notice of Borrowing, prompt notice of the applicable interest rate.  Each such Lender shall, before 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing, make available to Administrative Agent at its address referred to in Section 11.11, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such proposed Borrowing.  Upon fulfillment or due waiver (i) on the Closing Date, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.1 and (ii) on the Closing Date and any time thereafter, of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.2, Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Defaulting Lenders.  Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Lender prior to the date such Lender is required to make any payment hereunder with respect to any Loan or any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit that such Lender will not make such payment (or any portion thereof) available to Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such payment available to Administrative Agent on the date such payment is required to be made in accordance with this Article 2 and Administrative Agent shall, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrowers on such date a corresponding amount.  Borrowers agree to repay to Administrative Agent on demand such amount (until repaid by such Lender) with interest thereon for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the interest rate applicable to the Obligation that would have been created when Administrative Agent made available such amount to Borrowers had such Lender made a corresponding payment available; provided, however, that such payment shall not relieve such Lender of any obligation it may have to Borrowers, Swingline Lender or any L/C Issuer.  In addition, any Defaulting Lender agrees to pay such amount to Administrative Agent on demand together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrowers until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for the first Business Day and thereafter (i) in the case of a payment in respect of a Loan, at the interest rate applicable at the time to such Loan and (ii) otherwise, at the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Such repayment shall then constitute the funding of the corresponding Loan (including any Loan deemed to have been made hereunder with such payment) or participation.  If the Borrowers and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrowers the amount of such interest paid by the Borrowers for such period.  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. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers against any Defaulting Lender.

Each Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and must be repaid in full on the earliest of (i) the funding date of any Borrowing of Revolving Loans and (ii) the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  Within the limits set forth in the first sentence of this clause (a), amounts of Swing Loans repaid may be reborrowed under this clause (a).

 

(b)                                 Borrowing Procedures.  In order to request a Swing Loan, GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers shall give to Administrative Agent a notice to be received not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day of the proposed Borrowing, which may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit D duly completed (a “Swingline Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly but, in any event, prior to such Borrowing, with such a Swingline Request.  In addition, if any Notice of Borrowing requests a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans, the Swingline Lender may, notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in Section 2.2, make a Swing Loan available to Borrower in an aggregate amount not to exceed such proposed Borrowing, and the aggregate amount of the corresponding proposed Borrowing shall be reduced accordingly by the principal amount of such Swing Loan.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Swingline Lender of the details of the requested Swing Loan.  Upon receipt of such notice and subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Swingline Lender may make a Swing Loan available to Borrower by making the proceeds thereof available to Administrative Agent and, in turn, Administrative Agent shall make such proceeds available to Borrower on the date set forth in the relevant Swingline Request.

 

(c)                                  Refinancing Swing Loans.  The Swingline Lender may at any time, and no less frequently than weekly, forward a demand to Administrative Agent (which Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt, forward to each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A) that each Revolving Credit Lender — Tranche A pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swingline Lender, such Revolving Credit Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all or a portion of the outstanding Swing Loans.  Each Revolving Credit Lender — Tranche A shall pay such Pro Rata Share to Administrative Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender.  Upon receipt by Administrative Agent of such payment (other than during the continuation of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(g) or (h)), such Revolving Credit Lender — Tranche A shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1 to Borrowers, which, upon receipt of such payment by the Swingline Lender from Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to refinance such Swing Loan.  In addition, regardless of whether any such demand is made, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(g) or (h), each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Swing Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Swing Loan.  If any payment made by any Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A as a

 

52











 

result of any such demand is not deemed a Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1, such payment shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of such participation.  Such participation shall not be otherwise required to be funded.  Upon receipt by the Swingline Lender of any payment from any Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A pursuant to this clause (c) with respect to any portion of any Swing Loan, the Swingline Lender shall promptly pay over to such Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A all payments of principal (to the extent received after such payment by such Lender) and interest (to the extent accrued with respect to periods after such payment) received by the Swingline Lender with respect to such portion.

 

(d)                                 Obligation to Fund Absolute.  Each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A’s obligations pursuant to clause (c) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever, including (A) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that such Lender, any Affiliate thereof or any other Person may have against the Swingline Lender, any other Secured Party or any other Person, (B) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied or the failure of Borrower to deliver any notice set forth in Section 2.2(a) (each of which requirements the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) and (C) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.

 

Section 2.4                                    Letters of Credit.

 

(a)                                 Commitment and Conditions.  On the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, each L/C Issuer agrees to Issue, at the request of GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers, in accordance with such L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices, and for the account of Borrowers (or, as long as Borrowers remain responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and related fees, costs and expenses, for the account of any Loan Party), Letters of Credit (denominated in Dollars and with face amounts that are multiples of $100,000) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Original Closing Date through the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and seven (7) days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that such L/C Issuer shall not be under any obligation to Issue any Letter of Credit upon the occurrence of any of the following, after giving effect to such Issuance:

 

(i)                                     (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-1 would exceed the Borrowing Availability — Tranche A-1, or (B) the L/C Obligations for all Letters of Credit would exceed the L/C Sublimit;

 

(ii)                                  the expiration date of such Letter of Credit (A) is not a Business Day, (B) is more than one (1) year after the date of issuance thereof or (C) is later than seven (7) days prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that any Letter of Credit with a term not exceeding one (1) year may provide for its renewal for additional periods not exceeding one (1) year as long as (x) each Borrower and such L/C Issuer have the option to prevent such renewal before the expiration of such term or any such period and (y) neither such L/C Issuer nor Borrowers shall permit any such renewal to extend such expiration date beyond the date set forth in clause (C) above; or

 

(iii)                               (A) any fee due in connection with, and on or prior to, such Issuance has not been paid, (B) such Letter of Credit is requested to be Issued in a form that is not acceptable to such L/C Issuer or (C) such L/C Issuer shall not have received, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to it and duly executed by GHLLC on behalf of the

 

53











 

requesting Borrowers (and, if such Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any other Loan Party, such Loan Party), the documents that such L/C Issuer generally uses in the ordinary course of its business for the Issuance of letters of credit of the type of such Letter of Credit (collectively, the “L/C Reimbursement Agreement”).

 

For each such Issuance, the applicable L/C Issuer may, but shall not be required to, (A) determine that, or take notice whether, the conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.2 have been satisfied or waived in connection with the Issuance of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that no Letter of Credit shall be Issued during the period starting on the first Business Day after the receipt by such L/C Issuer of notice from Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders — Tranche A that any condition precedent contained in Section 3.2 is not satisfied and ending on the date all such conditions are satisfied or duly waived, and/or (B) elect to issue Letters of Credit in its own name to the extent permitted by applicable law (which Letters of Credit may not be accepted by certain beneficiaries such as insurance companies).

 

Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary herein, if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to Issue any Letter of Credit unless (w) the Defaulting Lender has been replaced in accordance with Section 11.2, (x) the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender have been reallocated to other Lenders, (y) the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1 of the other Revolving Credit Lenders — Tranche A have been increased by an amount sufficient to satisfy the Administrative Agent that all future Letter of Credit Obligations will be covered by all Revolving Credit Lenders — Tranche A that are not Defaulting Lenders, or (z) if the replacement described in clause (w) and the reallocations described in clauses (x) and (y) cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Letter of Credit Obligations of such Defaulting Lender have been cash collateralized by such Defaulting Lender or the Borrowers.  All or a portion of the Letter of Credit Obligations of a Defaulting Lender (unless such Defaulting Lender is the L/C Issuer that Issued such Letter of Credit) and reimbursement obligations with respect to Swing Loans shall, at the Administrative Agent’s election at any time or upon any L/C Issuer’s or Swingline Lender’s, as applicable, written request delivered to the Administrative Agent (whether before or after the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default), be reallocated to and assumed by the Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their percentage of the total Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A (calculated as if the Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share in such tranche was reduced to zero and each other Lender’s Pro Rata Share in such tranche had been increased proportionately); provided that no Lender shall be reallocated any such amounts or be required to fund any amounts that would cause the sum of its outstanding Revolving Loans — Tranche A, outstanding Letter of Credit Obligations, amounts of its participations in Swing Loans and its pro rata share of unparticipated amounts in Swing Loans to exceed its Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A.

 

(b)                                 Notice of Issuance.  GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers shall give the relevant L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent a notice of any requested Issuance of any Letter of Credit, which shall be effective only if received by such L/C Issuer and Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of such requested Issuance.  Such notice may be made in a writing substantially in the form of Exhibit E duly completed or in a writing in any other form acceptable to such L/C Issuer (an “L/C Request”) or by telephone if confirmed promptly, but in any event within one Business Day and prior to such Issuance, with such an L/C Request.

 

(c)                                  Reporting Obligations of L/C Issuers.  Each L/C Issuer agrees to provide Administrative Agent (which, after receipt, Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A), in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent, each of the following on the following dates:  (i) on or prior to (A) any Issuance of any Letter of Credit by such L/C Issuer, (B) any drawing under any such Letter of Credit or (C) any payment (or

 

54











 

failure to pay when due) by Borrowers of any related L/C Reimbursement Obligation, notice thereof, which shall contain a reasonably detailed description of such Issuance, drawing or payment, (ii) upon the request of Administrative Agent (or any Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A through Administrative Agent), copies of any Letter of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer and any related L/C Reimbursement Agreement and such other documents and information as may reasonably be requested by Administrative Agent and (iii) on the first Business Day of each calendar month, a schedule of the Letters of Credit Issued by such L/C Issuer, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent, setting forth the L/C Obligations for such Letters of Credit outstanding on the last Business Day of the previous calendar month.

 

(d)                                 Acquisition of Participations.  Upon any Issuance of a Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms of this Agreement resulting in any increase in the L/C Obligations, each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A shall be deemed to have acquired, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such L/C Obligations.

 

(e)                                  Reimbursement Obligations of Borrower.  Borrowers agree to pay to the L/C Issuer of any Letter of Credit each L/C Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to such Letter of Credit no later than the first Business Day after GHLLC receives notice from such L/C Issuer that payment has been made under such Letter of Credit or that such L/C Reimbursement Obligation is otherwise due (the “L/C Reimbursement Date”) with interest thereon computed as set forth in clause (i) below.  In the event that any L/C Issuer incurs any L/C Reimbursement Obligation not repaid by Borrowers as provided in this clause (e) (or any such payment by Borrowers is rescinded or set aside for any reason), such L/C Issuer shall promptly notify Administrative Agent of such failure (and, upon receipt of such notice, Administrative Agent shall forward a copy to each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A) and, irrespective of whether such notice is given, such L/C Reimbursement Obligation shall be payable on demand by Borrowers with interest thereon computed (i) from the date on which such L/C Reimbursement Obligation arose to the L/C Reimbursement Date, at the interest rate applicable during such period to Revolving Loans — Tranche A-1 that are Base Rate Loans and (ii) thereafter until payment in full, at the interest rate applicable during such period to past due Revolving Loans — Tranche A-1 that are Base Rate Loans.

 

(f)                                   Reimbursement Obligations of the Revolving Credit Lenders.  Upon receipt of the notice described in clause (e) above from Administrative Agent, each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share of such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  By making such payment (other than during the continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.1(g) or (h)), such Lender shall be deemed to have made a Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1 to Borrower, which, upon receipt thereof by such L/C Issuer, Borrowers shall be deemed to have used in whole to repay such L/C Reimbursement Obligation.  Any such payment that is not deemed a Revolving Loan — Tranche A-1 shall be deemed a funding by such Lender of its participation in the applicable Letter of Credit and the related L/C Obligations.  Such participation shall not otherwise be required to be funded.  Upon receipt by an L/C Issuer of any payment from any Lender pursuant to this clause (f) with respect to any portion of any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, such L/C Issuer shall promptly pay over to such Lender all payments received after such payment by such L/C Issuer with respect to such portion.

 

(g)                                  Obligations Absolute.  The obligations of Borrowers and the Revolving Credit Lenders - Tranche A pursuant to clauses (d), (e) and (f) above shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement

 

55











 

irrespective of (i) (A) the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision in any Letter of Credit, any document transferring or purporting to transfer a Letter of Credit, any Loan Document (including the sufficiency of any such instrument), or any modification to any provision of any of the foregoing, (B) any document presented under a Letter of Credit being forged, fraudulent, invalid, insufficient or inaccurate in any respect or failing to comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (C) any loss or delay, including in the transmission of any document, (ii) the existence of any setoff, claim, abatement, recoupment, defense or other right that any Person (including any Loan Party) may have against the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with any Loan Document or any other Contractual Obligation or transaction, or the existence of any other withholding, abatement or reduction, (iii) in the case of the obligations of any Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A, (A) the failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 3.2 to be satisfied (each of which conditions precedent the Revolving Credit Lenders hereby irrevocably waive) or (B) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party and (iv) any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind of any Secured Party or any other Person or any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.4, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any obligation of Borrowers or any Revolving Credit Lender hereunder.

 

(h)                                 Existing Letters of Credit Deemed Issued Hereunder.  The Letters of Credit set forth on Schedule 2.4(h) shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.4 and shall be subject to and governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  Each Letter of Credit, now or hereafter issued, shall be deemed to have been issued under the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1.

 

Section 2.5                                    Reduction and Termination of the Commitments.  All outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A shall terminate (i) on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date —Tranche A or (ii) in connection with an optional repayment pursuant to Section 2.7 in the amount of such prepayment.  All outstanding Revolving Credit Commitments — FILO Tranche shall terminate (i) on the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date — FILO Tranche or (ii) in connection with an optional repayment pursuant to Section 2.7 in the amount of such prepayment.

 

Section 2.6                                    Repayment of Revolving Loan.  Borrowers promise to repay the entire unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans and Swing Loans on or before the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche shall not be repaid prior to the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date.

 

Section 2.7                                    Optional Prepayments; Commitment Reductions.  (i)  On or before the 2nd anniversary of the Closing Date, upon 5 Business Days irrevocable prior written notice to Administrative Agent (provided that such notice may be conditioned on closing the applicable refinancing or Transfer for which such notice was given), Borrowers may prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility and the other Obligations related thereto including the Obligations set forth in Section 2.16(a), and terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment, in whole or in part, subject to the payment of the Termination Fee, and (ii) thereafter, upon 5 Business Days irrevocable prior written notice to Administrative Agent (provided that such notice may be conditioned on closing the applicable refinancing or Transfer for which such notice was given), Borrowers may prepay the Revolving Credit Facility and the other Obligations related thereto, including the Obligations set forth in Section 2.16(a), and terminate the Revolving Credit Commitment, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrowers shall not be entitled to make any prepayment in respect of the Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche (or terminate any portion of the Revolving

 

56











 

Credit Commitment — FILO Tranche) unless (a) Borrowers prepay the entire Revolving Credit Facility (and all Obligations related thereto (other than contingent or indemnification obligations not then asserted or due or that Loan Parties could not reasonably expect to be asserted or come due)), including the Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche (and all of the Obligations related thereto) and (b) terminate the entire Revolving Credit Commitment, including the Revolving Credit Commitment — FILO Tranche.  Any such prepayment made (i) in part shall be in an aggregate amount not less than $10,000,000 and that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 or (ii) in full shall be in an amount equal to the entire remaining balance of the Obligations.

 

Section 2.8                                    Mandatory Prepayments.

 

(a)                                 GHLLC Transfers and Property Loss Events. Subject to clause (c) below, upon receipt on or after the Closing Date by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (excluding the HUD Sub-Facility Entities during all times the HUD Sub-Facility Credit Agreement is in effect) of Net Cash Proceeds arising from (i) any Transfer by any Borrower of any of its ABL Priority Collateral in reliance on Section 8.3(d) or Section 8.5 or (ii) any Property Loss Event with respect to any ABL Priority Collateral of any Loan Party to the extent resulting in the receipt by any Loan Party of Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $1,500,000, such Loan Party shall immediately pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such ABL Priority Collateral.

 

(b)                                 Excess Outstandings.  (i) On any date on which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-1 exceeds the lesser of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1 and the Borrowing Base — Tranche A-1, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, together with the other Obligations then due and payable directly related thereto (including the Obligations set forth in Section 2.16(a)) and (ii) on any date on which the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-2 exceeds the lesser of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-2 and the Borrowing Base — Tranche A-2, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to such excess, together with the other Obligations then due and payable directly related thereto (including the Obligations set forth in Section 2.16(a)).

 

(c)                                  Application of Payments.  Any payments made to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.8, unless specifically stated otherwise, shall be subject to the applicable Termination Fee, if any.  All payments pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall be applied to the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Lease, including the Master Leases, or Constituent Document of any joint venture (each as existing on the Closing Date and not amended, modified or entered into in violation of this Agreement) requires the application of such proceeds in a manner inconsistent with clause (a) above, GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers (1) shall provide notice to Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 6.2(b) hereof, and (2) after such notice, shall apply, or shall cause the applicable Borrower to apply, the proceeds of such insurance as directed in the respective Lease or Constituent Document; provided, however, to the extent there are surplus proceeds after compliance with the requirements of the applicable Lease or Constituent Document, then such surplus proceeds shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.12(b).

 

Section 2.9                                    Interest.

 

(a)                                 Rate.  All Loans and the outstanding amount of all other Obligations (other than pursuant to Secured Hedge Agreements) shall bear interest, in the case of Loans, on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made, and, in the case of such other

 

57












 

Obligations, from the date such other Obligations are due and payable until, in all cases, paid in full, except as otherwise provided in clause (c) below, as follows:  (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin — Tranche A-1 Base Rate Loan, the Applicable Margin — Tranche A-2 Base Rate Loan or the Applicable Margin — FILO Tranche Base Rate Loan, as applicable, (ii) in the case of Base Rate Loans that are Swing Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin — Tranche A-1 Base Rate Loan, (iii) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans that are Revolving Loans, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR — Revolving Loan and the Applicable Margin — Tranche A-1 LIBOR Loan, Applicable Margin — Tranche A-2 LIBOR Loan or the Applicable Margin — FILO Tranche LIBOR Loan, as applicable, each as in effect for the applicable Interest Period, and (iv) in the case of other Obligations, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate and the Applicable Margin — Tranche A-1 Base Rate Loan in effect from time to time.

 

(b)                                 Payments.  Interest accrued shall be payable in arrears commencing on the Closing Date, and

 

(i)                                     if accrued on the principal amount of any Loan,

 

(A)                               with respect to any Loan, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) or upon any prepayment of the principal amount on which such interest has accrued;

 

(B)                               (1) if such Loan is a Base Rate Loan (including a Swing Loan), on the first day of each calendar month commencing on the first day of the calendar month following the making of such Loan, and (2) if such Loan is a LIBOR Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such Loan and, if applicable, on each date during such Interest Period occurring every three months from the first day of such Interest Period; 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).

 

(iii)                               Notice of the amount to be paid shall be sent to GHLLC (for all Borrowers) on or about the first day of each month during which any amount is to be paid, which notice shall include each Obligation then due and owing.

 

(c)                                  Default Interest.  Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in clause (a) above or elsewhere in any Loan Document, effective immediately upon (i) the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 9.1(a),  (g) or (h) or (ii) the delivery of a notice by Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders to Borrowers during the continuance of any other Event of Default and, in each case, for as long as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Obligations (including any Obligation that bears interest by reference to the rate applicable to any other Obligation then due and payable) shall bear interest at a rate that is 2.0% per annum in excess of the interest rate then applicable to such Obligations, payable on demand or, in the absence of demand, on the date that would otherwise be applicable.

 

Section 2.10                             Conversion and Continuation Options.

 

(a)                                 Option.  Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall continue from one Interest Period to the succeeding Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan unless (i) GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers

 

58











 

requests such Loan to be converted to a Base Rate Loan, (ii) such continuation is prohibited by this Section 2.10 or (iii) the last day of such succeeding Interest Period is after the Scheduled Revolving Credit Termination Date (in which case, upon the expiration of the applicable Interest Period, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan).  Borrowers may convert any LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan at any time on any Business Day, upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent of Borrower’s desire to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan, subject to the payment of any breakage costs required by Section 2.16(a).  In the case of Base Rate Loans (other than Swing Loans), Borrowers may convert such Base Rate Loans or any portion thereof into LIBOR Rate Loans at any time on any Business Day upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Administrative Agent; provided, however, that, no conversion in whole or in part of Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans and no continuation in whole or in part of LIBOR Rate Loans shall be permitted at any time at which (1) an Event of Default shall be continuing and Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders shall have determined in their sole discretion not to permit such conversions or continuations or (2) such continuation or conversion would be made during a suspension imposed by Section 2.15.

 

(b)                                 Procedure.  Each such election shall be made by giving Administrative Agent prior notice in accordance with clause (a) above, either (i) in substantially the form of Exhibit F (a “Notice of Conversion or Continuation”) duly completed or (ii) pursuant to an E-System (including “MyAccount”) designated for such purpose by Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation and of the options selected therein.  Each partial conversion or continuation shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders in the applicable Revolving Credit Facility in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Share.

 

Section 2.11                             Fees.

 

(a)                                 Unused Commitment Fee.  (i) Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A-1 exceeds the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-1 (the “Unused Daily Balance — Tranche A-1”) from the Closing Date through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to (A) 0.50% when the Unused Daily Balance — Tranche A-1 is greater than an amount equal to 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment - Tranche A-1 or (B) 0.375% when the Unused Daily Balance — Tranche A-1 is less than or equal to an amount equal to 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment - Tranche A-1, in each case, payable in arrears (x) on the first day of each calendar month and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date and (ii) Borrowers agree to pay to Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Revolving Credit Lender - Tranche A a commitment fee on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A-2 exceeds the sum of the aggregate Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-2 (the “Unused Daily Balance — Tranche A-2”) from the Closing Date through the Revolving Credit Termination Date at a rate per annum equal to (A) 0.50% when the Unused Daily Balance is greater than an amount equal to 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment - Tranche A-2 or (B) 0.375% when the Unused Daily Balance — Tranche A-2 is less than or equal to an amount equal to 50% of the Revolving Credit Commitment - Tranche A-2, in each case, payable in arrears (x) on the first day of each calendar month and (y) on the Revolving Credit Termination Date.  For purposes of this Section 2.11(a), the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to be zero.

 

(b)                                 Letter of Credit Fees.  Borrowers agree to pay, with respect to all Letters of Credit issued by any L/C Issuer, (i) to such L/C Issuer, certain fees, documentary and processing

(c)                                  Additional Fees.  Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent and its Related Persons its reasonable and customary fees and expenses in connection with any payments made pursuant to Section 2.16(a) (Breakage Costs) and such other fees as described in the Fee Letter.

 

Section 2.12                             Application of Payments.

 

(a)                                 Application of Voluntary Prepayments.  Unless otherwise provided in this Section 2.12 or elsewhere in any Loan Document, all voluntary prepayments permitted pursuant to Section 2.7 and received by Administrative Agent shall be applied as designated by GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers.

 

(b)                                 Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  Subject to the provisions of clause (c) below with respect to the application of payments during the continuance of an Event of Default, any payment made by Borrowers to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.8 or any other prepayment of the Obligations required to be applied in accordance with this clause (b) (other than in respect of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.1(a), which shall be applied to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans) shall be applied first, to repay the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans — Tranche A (in amounts to be allocated between the Revolving Loans — Tranche A-1 and Revolving Loans — Tranche A-2 as designated by GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers) and the Swing Loans, second, in the case of any payment required pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii), to provide cash collateral to the extent and in the manner required by Section 9.3,and, then, any excess shall be retained by Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Application of Payments During an Event of Default.  Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees to cause each Loan Party 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 clause (a) above, Administrative Agent may, and, upon (1) the direction of the Required Lenders or (2) the termination of any Revolving Credit Commitment or the acceleration of any Obligation pursuant to Section 9.2, shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligation and all proceeds of Collateral first, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or

 

60











 

indemnities then due to Administrative Agent, second, to pay Obligations in respect of any cost or expense reimbursements, fees or indemnities then due to the Revolving Credit Lenders (in their capacity as Lenders) and the L/C Issuers, third, to pay interest then due and payable in respect of the Swing Loans, the Revolving Loans, and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations, fourth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Swing Loans to the extent not reimbursed by Lenders or deemed to be Revolving Loans, fifth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans —Tranche A (in amounts to be allocated between the Revolving Loans — Tranche A-1 and Revolving Loans — Tranche A-2 as designated by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations and to provide cash collateral for Letters of Credit in the manner and to the extent described in Section 9.3, and to pay amounts owing with respect to Secured Hedge Agreements (but paid only to the extent and up to the amount of reserves against the Borrowing Base that have been established for “potential future exposure” as calculated by Administrative Agent in its sole credit judgment) sixth, to repay the outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche, and seventh, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations, including Cash Management Obligations; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, in no event shall the proceeds of any Collateral owned, or any Guarantee Obligations provided, by any Loan Party under any Loan Document be applied to repay or cash collateralize any Excluded Swap Obligation with respect to such Loan Party.

 

(d)                                 Application of Payments Generally.  All payments that would otherwise be allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall instead be allocated first, to repay interest on Swing Loans, on any portion of the Revolving Loans that Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of any Lender and on any L/C Reimbursement Obligation, in each case for which Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, the L/C Issuer has not then been reimbursed by such Lender or Borrower, second, to pay the outstanding principal amount of the foregoing obligations, third, to repay the Revolving Loans — Tranche A and fourth, to the extent the Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A has been terminated, to repay the Revolving Loans — FILO Tranche.  All repayments of any Revolving Loans shall be applied first, to repay such Loans outstanding as Base Rate Loans and then, to repay such Loans outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans with those LIBOR Rate Loans having earlier expiring Interest Periods being repaid prior to those having later expiring Interest Periods.  If sufficient amounts are not available to repay all outstanding Obligations described in any priority level set forth in this Section 2.12, 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 2.12 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.

 

Section 2.13                             Payments and Computations.

 

(a)                                 Procedure.  GHLLC on behalf of each Borrower shall make each payment under any Loan Document not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day when due to Administrative Agent by a single wire transfer for the Revolving Loan to the following account (or at such other account or by such other means to such other address as Administrative Agent shall have notified GHLLC for each Borrower in writing at least five (5) Business Days prior to such payment) in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim:

ABA No. 021-001-033
 Account Number 50271079
 Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas
 Account Name:  HH Cash Flow Collections
 Reference:  Genesis Healthcare LLC HFS# 2922

 

Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause to be distributed immediately available funds relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees to the Lenders, in accordance with the application of payments set forth in Section 2.12.  The Lenders shall make any payment under any Loan Document in immediately available Dollars and without setoff or counterclaim.  Each Revolving Credit Lender — Tranche A shall make each payment for the account of any L/C Issuer or Swingline Lender required pursuant to Section 2.3 or Section 2.4 (A) if the notice or demand therefor was received by such Lender prior to 11:00 a.m. on any Business Day, on such Business Day and (B) otherwise, on the Business Day following such receipt.  Payments received by Administrative Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day.

 

(b)                                 Computations of Interests and Fees.  All computations of interest and of fees shall be made by 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 Administrative Agent (including determinations of a LIBOR — Revolving Loan or Base Rate in accordance with the definitions of LIBOR Rate and Base Rate, respectively) as set forth in the respective definition thereof and shall be conclusive, binding and final for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

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

 

Section 2.14                             Evidence of Debt.

 

(a)                                 Records of Lenders.  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts evidencing Indebtedness of each Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable

 

62











 

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 Administrative Agent, acting as agent of each Borrower solely for this purpose and solely for tax purposes, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as such Lender shall notify Borrower) a record of ownership, in which such Lender shall register by book entry (A) the name and address of each such participant and SPV (and each change thereto, whether by assignment or otherwise) and (B) the rights, interest or obligation of each such participant and SPV in any Obligation, in any Revolving Credit Commitment and in any right to receive any payment hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Records of Administrative Agent.  Administrative Agent, acting as agent of each Borrower solely for tax purposes and solely with respect to the actions described in this Section 2.14, shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 11.11 (or at such other address as Administrative Agent may notify Borrower) (A) a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which Administrative Agent agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer, the Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-1 and the Revolving Credit Outstandings — Tranche A-2, each of their obligations under this Agreement to participate in each Loan, Letter of Credit and L/C Reimbursement Obligation, and any assignment of any such interest, obligation or right and (B) accounts in the Register in accordance with its usual practice in which it shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers (and each change thereto pursuant to Section 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and Section 11.2 (Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect)), (2) the Revolving Credit Commitments of each Lender, (3) the amount of each Loan and each funding of any participation described in clause (A) above, for LIBOR Rate Loans, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (4) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or paid, (5) the amount of the L/C Reimbursement Obligations due and payable or paid and (6) any other payment received by Administrative Agent from any Borrower and its application to the Obligations.

 

(c)                                  Registered Obligations.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Notes evidencing such Loans and, in the case of Revolving Loans, the corresponding obligations to participate in L/C Obligations and Swing Loans) and the L/C Reimbursement Obligations are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their assignees in and to such Loans or L/C Reimbursement Obligations, as the case may be, shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein.  This Section 2.14 and Section 11.2 shall be construed so that the Loans and L/C Reimbursement Obligations are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related regulations (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 Administrative Agent to maintain any such account shall affect the obligations of any Loan Party to repay the Loans in accordance with their terms.  In addition, the Loan Parties, Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender or L/C Issuer, as applicable, for all purposes of this Agreement.  Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender or any L/C Issuer shall be available for access by Borrower, Administrative Agent, such Lender or such L/C Issuer at any reasonable

 

63











 

time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.  No Lender or L/C Issuer 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 or L/C Issuer unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent.

 

(e)                                  Notes.  Upon any Lender’s request, Borrowers shall promptly execute and deliver Notes to such Lender evidencing the Loans of such Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility and substantially in the form of Exhibit B; provided, however, that only one Note for the Revolving Credit Facility shall be issued to each Lender, except (i) to an existing Lender exchanging existing Notes to reflect changes in the Register relating to such Lender, in which case the new Notes delivered to such Lender shall be dated the date of the original Notes and (ii) in the case of loss, destruction or mutilation of existing Notes and similar circumstances.  Each Note, if issued, shall only be issued as means to evidence the right, title or interest of a Lender or a registered assignee in and to the related Loan, as set forth in the Register, and in no event shall any Note be considered a bearer instrument or obligation.

 

Section 2.15                             Suspension of LIBOR Rate Option.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Article 2, the following shall apply:

 

(a)                                 Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair.  In the event that (A) Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the LIBOR — Revolving Loan is determined or (B) Required Lenders, as the case may be, notify Administrative Agent that the LIBOR — Revolving Loan, as the case may be, for any Interest Period will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period by reason of any changes arising after the Closing Date, Administrative Agent shall promptly so notify GHLLC and such Lenders, whereupon the obligation of each such Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until Administrative Agent shall notify GHLLC that the Required Lenders, as the case may be, have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

 

(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 LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to GHLLC through Administrative Agent, the obligation of such Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended as provided in clause (c) below until such Lender shall, through Administrative Agent, notify GHLLC that it has determined that it may lawfully make LIBOR Rate Loans.

 

(c)                                  Effect of Suspension.  If the obligation of any Lender to make or to continue LIBOR Rate Loans is suspended, (A) the obligation of such Lender to convert Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended, (B) such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan at any time such Lender would otherwise be obligated to make a LIBOR Rate Loan, (C) Borrowers may revoke any pending Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion or Continuation to make or continue any LIBOR Rate Loan or to convert any Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan and (D) each LIBOR 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 2.16                             Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements.

 

(a)                                 Breakage Costs.  Borrowers shall compensate each Lender, upon demand from such Lender to such Borrower (with copy to 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 LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender to Borrowers but excluding any loss of the Applicable Margin on the relevant Loans) that such Lender may incur (A) to the extent, for any reason other than solely by reason of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender, a proposed Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR 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 GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers, (B) to the extent any LIBOR Rate Loan is paid (whether through a scheduled, optional or mandatory prepayment) or converted to a Base Rate Loan (including because of Section 2.15) on a date that is not the last day of the applicable Interest Period or (C) as a consequence of any failure by Borrowers to repay LIBOR Rate Loans when required by the terms hereof.  For purposes of this clause (a), each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR 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 L/C Issuer determines that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of (i) increasing the cost to such Lender of making, funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan or to agree to do so or of participating, or agreeing to participate, in extensions of credit, (ii) increasing the cost to such L/C Issuer of Issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or of agreeing to do so or (iii) imposing any other cost to such Lender or L/C Issuer with respect to compliance with its obligations under any Loan Document, then, upon demand by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with copy to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender or L/C Issuer amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or L/C Issuer for such increased cost.

 

(c)                                  Increased Capital Requirements.  If at any time any Lender or L/C Issuer determines that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of, or any change in or in the interpretation, application or administration of, or compliance with, any Requirement of Law (other than any imposition or increase of Reserve Requirements) from any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy, reserves, liquidity requirements, 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 L/C Issuer or any similar requirement (in each case other than any imposition or increase of Reserve Requirements) shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer (or any corporation controlling such Lender or L/C Issuer) as a consequence of its obligations under or with respect to any Loan Document or Letter of Credit to a level below that which, taking into account the capital adequacy policies of such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation, such Lender, L/C Issuer or corporation could have achieved but for such adoption or change, then, upon demand from time to time by such Lender or L/C Issuer (with a copy of such demand to Administrative Agent), Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such reduction.

 

(d)                                 Compensation Certificate.  Each demand for compensation under this Section 2.16 shall be accompanied by a certificate of the Lender or L/C Issuer claiming such

 

65











 

compensation, setting forth the amounts to be paid hereunder, which certificate shall be prima facie evidence of such, absent manifest error.  In determining such amount, such Lender or L/C Issuer may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or L/C Issuer pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date such Lender or L/C Issuer notifies the Borrowers of such Lender’s or L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefore; provided that if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have retroactive effect, then such six month period shall be extended to include such period of retroactive effect.

 

(e)                                  Certain Regulatory Developments.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder, issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof 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 or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case, pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in a Requirement of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

 

Section 2.17                             Taxes.

 

(a)                                 All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority responsible for administering taxes, excluding (i) net income Taxes (however determined) and franchise Taxes (in lieu of net income Taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as a result of a present, former or future connection between the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such Tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, any Loan Document), (ii) any branch profits Taxes imposed by the United States, (iii) any United States withholding Tax that (A) is imposed on amounts payable to a Secured Party at the time such Secured Party becomes a party to this Agreement or designates a new lending office, except to the extent that such Secured Party (or its assignor, if any) was entitled at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from the Loan Party with respect to such withholding Tax pursuant to this Section or (B) or is attributable, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party (as defined below), to such Non-U.S. Lender Party’s failure to comply with Section 2.17(d) or is attributable, in the case of a U.S. Lender Party (as defined below) to such U.S. Lender Party’s failure to comply with Section 2.17(e), and (iv) any United States withholding Tax imposed under FATCA (together the amounts described in clauses (i) through (iv) are the “Excluded Taxes”).  If any such Taxes that are not Excluded Taxes (the “Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party, the amounts payable by the Loan Party shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party (after deduction or withholding of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, payments made to any Secured Party arising under a document or agreement other than a Loan Document (but including any Secured Hedge Agreement or Cash Management Document) shall not be subject to adjustment under this Section 2.17.

 

66











 

(b)                                 The Borrowers shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

 

(c)                                  Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by the Loan Parties, as promptly as possible thereafter the Loan Parties shall send to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Administrative Agent or the relevant Secured Party, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Parties showing payment thereof if such receipt is obtainable, or, if not, other reasonable evidence of payment satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 Each Secured Party that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Non-U.S. Lender Party”) shall deliver to GHLLC and the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a participant, to GHLLC and to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) (i) two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8EXP, W-8BEN (claiming benefits under an applicable treaty) or W-8IMY (together with any applicable underlying forms), whichever is applicable, (ii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender Party claiming exemption from United States federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest,” a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit L and two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions or successors to such forms, in each case properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender Party.  Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender Party on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any participant, on or before the date such participant purchases the related participation).  In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender Party shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender Party.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a Non-U.S. Lender Party shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender Party is not legally able to deliver.

 

(e)                                  Each Secured Party that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “U.S. Lender Party”) shall deliver to GHLLC and the Administrative Agent two accurate and complete original, signed copies of IRS Form W-9, or any subsequent versions or successors to such form.  Such forms shall be delivered by each U.S. Lender Party on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement.  In addition, each U.S. Lender Party shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such U.S. Lender Party.

 

(f)                                   The Borrowers shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and any Secured Party, within 30 days after the written demand therefor, the full amount of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or Secured Party whether or not such Taxes are correctly or legally asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such amount or liability delivered to GHLLC by a Secured Party (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) or by the Administrative Agent on its behalf of on behalf of a Secured Party, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(g)                                  If any Secured Party determines, in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall promptly pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section with respect to the Non-

 

67











 

Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party in the event the Administrative Agent or such Secured Party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the Administrative Agent or Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrowers pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the Secured Party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the Secured Party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes which it deems confidential) to the Borrowers or any other Person.

 

(h)                                 Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Non-Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrowers have not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Non-Excluded Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrowers to do so), and (ii) 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 paragraph (h).  The agreements in this paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.

 

(i)                                     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 GHLLC and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by GHLLC 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 GHLLC or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph, FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

(j)                                    The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Obligations.

Section 2.18                             Substitution of Lenders.

 

(a)                                 Substitution Right.  In the event that any Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility that is not an Affiliate of Administrative Agent (an “Affected Lender”), (i) makes a claim under clause (b) (Increased Costs) or (c) (Increased Capital Requirements) of Section 2.16, (ii) notifies GHLLC pursuant to Section 2.15(b) (Illegality) that it becomes illegal for such Lender to continue to fund or make any LIBOR Rate Loan in the Revolving Credit Facility, (iii) makes a claim for payment pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), (iv) becomes a Defaulting Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility or (v) does not consent to any request made by GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers in good faith for an amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of Required Lenders, Required Lenders — Tranche A or Required Lenders — FILO Tranche, as applicable, is obtained but that requires the consent of other Lenders in the Revolving Credit Facility, Borrowers may substitute for such Affected Lender in the Revolving Credit Facility any Lender or any Affiliate of any Lender or any other Person (other than a Restricted Person) reasonably acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.2(b) (in each case, a “Substitute Lender”).

 

(b)                                 Procedure.  To substitute such Affected Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility, GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers shall deliver a notice to Administrative Agent and such Affected Lender.  The effectiveness of such substitution shall be subject to the delivery to Administrative Agent by GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers (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 substitution, all Obligations owing to such Affected Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility (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 in the Revolving Credit Facility, but shall not include, and Borrowers shall not be assessed any Termination Fee), and (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) payment of the assignment fee set forth in Section 11.2(c) and (B) an assumption agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent whereby the Substitute Lender shall, among other things, agree to be bound by the terms of the Loan Documents and assume the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Affected Lender under the Revolving Credit Facility; provided that (u) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (v) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.16 (as though Section 2.16 were applicable) if any LIBOR Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (w) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent to the extent that an assignment to such replacement financial institution of the rights and obligations being acquired by it would otherwise require the consent of the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.2(b), (x) the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.16 or 2.17, as the case may be, in respect of any period prior to the date on which such replacement shall be consummated, (y) if applicable, the replacement financial institution shall consent to such amendment or waiver and (z) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender.

 

(c)                                  Effectiveness.  Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in clause (b) above, Administrative Agent shall record such substitution or payment in the Register, whereupon (i) in the case of any payment in full in the Revolving Credit Facility, such Affected Lender’s

 

69











 

Revolving Credit Commitments in the Revolving Credit Facility shall be terminated and (ii) in the case of any substitution in the Revolving Credit Facility, (A) 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 with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, except that the Affected Lender shall retain such rights expressly providing that they survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) the Substitute Lender shall become a “Lender” hereunder having a Revolving Credit Commitment in the Revolving Credit Facility in the amount of such Affected Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment in the Revolving Credit Facility and (C) the Affected Lender shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment to evidence such substitution and deliver any Note in its possession with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility; 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 2.19                             Contribution.

 

(a)                                 Right of Contribution.  To satisfy obligations hereunder or otherwise for the benefit of one or more of the other Borrowers, if any Borrower (the “Overpaying Borrower”) (i) makes any payment in excess of its Allocable Share, or (ii) incurs a loss of its Collateral due to the foreclosure (or other realization by Lender) of, or the delivery of deeds in lieu of foreclosure relating to its Collateral and the value of such Collateral exceeded its Allocable Share, then such Overpaying Borrower shall be entitled, after indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all obligations to Lender under the Loan Documents, to contribution from each of the benefited Borrowers, for the amounts so paid, advanced or benefited, up to such benefited Borrower’s then current Allocable Share, or both.  Any such contribution payments shall be made within 10 days after demand therefor.

 

(b)                                 Right of Subrogation After Payment in Full.  If any Borrower (a “Defaulting Borrower”) shall have failed to make a contribution payment as hereinabove provided, after indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility, as the case may be, the Overpaying Borrower shall be subrogated to the rights of Lenders against such Defaulting Borrower, including the right to receive a portion of such Defaulting Borrower’s Collateral in an amount equal to the contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting Borrower failed to make; provided, however, if Lenders return any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Borrower, all subrogated Borrowers shall jointly and severally repay Lenders all such amounts repaid, together with interest thereon at the then-current rate as set forth herein.  At the request of any Borrower or Borrowers, upon indefeasible payment in full and the satisfaction of all obligations under the Revolving Credit Facilities, Lenders shall assign the Collateral, without recourse, to such Borrower or Borrowers; provided, that, if Lenders shall have received conflicting requests from more than one Borrower to receive such Collateral and such requesting Borrowers cannot agree as to the disposition of such Collateral, Lenders shall have no obligation to deliver such Collateral to such requesting Borrowers unless and until such requesting Borrowers shall have agreed as to the disposition of such Collateral and so authorized Lenders jointly in writing.  Upon Lenders’ receipt of such authorization, Lenders shall assign the Collateral in question, without recourse, to Borrowers entitled to receive such Collateral within 90 days thereafter.  Prior to delivering such Collateral, Lenders shall be entitled to receive from the requesting Borrower or Borrowers such other assurances, indemnities and agreements as may be reasonably requested by Lenders.

 

(c)                                  Deemed Guaranty, Waivers.  To the extent any of the obligations of any individual Borrower under this Agreement or the Loan Documents are deemed to constitute a

 

70











 

guaranty, such individual Borrower unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand or notice hereunder or under any Loan Document including:  (i) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, (ii) any notice of acceptance, (iii) any presentment, demand, protest or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any guaranteed obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable,  (iv) any other notice in respect of any guaranteed obligation or any part thereof, and (v) any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any other Borrower.  While the Obligations are outstanding, such individual Borrower further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against any other Borrower by reason of any Loan Document or any payment made thereunder or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff or counterclaim it may have against any other Person or set off any of its obligations to such other Person against obligations of such other Person to any other Borrower.  No obligation of such individual Borrower shall be discharged other than by complete performance or express written waiver.

 

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses to which any individual Borrower may be entitled with respect to any of the obligations of such individual Borrower in the nature of a guaranty under the Revolving Credit Facilities, this Agreement or any other Loan Document arising from the fact that the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facilities are secured, in part, by real property.  Each individual Borrower hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Lenders, even though any such election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed such individual Borrower’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any other Person.

 

Such individual Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Agreement, even if deemed to be in the nature of a guaranty, are primary, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Agreement, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by Administrative Agent):

 

(i)                                     the invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of Borrowers under any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any obligation hereunder or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Obligations or any part thereof;

 

(ii)                                  (A) any delay in enforcing or the absence of any action to enforce Borrowers’ Obligations, or (B) any attempt or the absence of any attempt to collect any obligation hereunder or any part thereof from Borrowers or other action to enforce the same;

 

(iii)                               any sale, exchange, release, surrender or other disposition of, or realization upon, any collateral securing the Obligations, or any amendment, waiver, settlement or compromise of any guaranties of the Obligations, or any other obligation of any Person with respect to the Loan Documents;

 

71











 

(iv)                              the failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any Collateral;

 

(v)                                 any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, dissolution or similar event or proceeding by or against Borrowers or any of their respective properties or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any guaranteed obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

 

(vi)                              any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Transfer of any Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by any Lender to proceed separately against any Collateral in accordance with such Lender’s rights under any applicable law;

 

(vii)                           any other defense, setoff, counterclaim or any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Borrower, Subsidiary of any Borrower, in each case other than the payment in full of the Obligations;

 

(viii)                        the absence, impairment or loss of any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any other Borrower;

 

(ix)                              receipt by any Borrower of any notice or directive given at any time that is inconsistent with this Section 2.19; or

 

(x)                                 any renewal, amendment, modification or extension of this agreement or the other Loan Documents or any assignment or subletting or other changes or actions affecting the interest in the Collateral.

 

This means, among other things:  (i) Lenders may collect from such individual Borrower with respect to such obligation without first foreclosing on any Collateral pledged by any other Borrower and (ii) if Lenders foreclose on any Collateral pledged by any such individual Borrower:  (A) the amount of the obligations under the Revolving Credit Facilities shall be reduced only by the price for which such Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if such Collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (B) Lenders may collect from such individual Borrower with respect to such obligation even if Lenders, by foreclosing on such Collateral, have destroyed any right such individual Borrower may have to collect from any other Loan Party.

 

Section 2.20                             Reserved.

 

Section 2.21                             HUD Revolving Credit Sub-Facility.  Upon the request of GHLLC on behalf of Borrowers, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, the Loan Parties on a Consolidated Basis are Solvent and in compliance with each financial covenant set forth in Article 5 (without giving effect to any cure period applicable thereto) as of the date of such request, Secured Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to amend the amount and certain terms and conditions of the HUD Sub-Facility Credit Agreement then in effect and to enter into necessary intercreditor or other agreements in connection therewith, all consistent with Administrative Agent’s usual and customary business practices.  The HUD Sub-Facility Credit Agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 2.21 (the “HUD Sub-Facility”) has been and will be created to enable one or more Borrowers to own or lease Real Property that is guaranteed by or is otherwise subject to a mortgage, deed of trust or similar encumbrance in favor of HUD and shall be a sub-facility of the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $80,000,000.  Under no

 

72











 

circumstances will the HUD Sub-Facility involve aggregate commitments greater than $80,000,000 outstanding at any time.  Upon any increase in the commitments under the HUD Sub-Facility, (A) in the case of any such increase involving a Genesis Subsidiary becoming a HUD Sub-Facility Entity, the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1 of all Lenders hereunder will be reduced pro rata in an amount such that the sum of the commitments under the HUD Sub-Facility plus the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-1 of all Lenders hereunder will remain constant and (B) in the case of any such increase involving a Skilled Subsidiary becoming a HUD Sub-Facility Entity, the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-2 of all Lenders hereunder will be reduced pro rata in an amount such that the sum of the commitments under the HUD Sub-Facility plus the Revolving Credit Commitments — Tranche A-2 of all Lenders hereunder will remain constant.  Among other terms and conditions, Loan Parties shall (i) remain responsible for the payment in full of all amounts drawn thereunder and for all fees, costs and expenses of Administrative Agent and Secured Parties in connection therewith, (ii) provide all financial statements and other reports and notices required pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents separately for the HUD Sub-Facility Entities, and (iii) ensure that no HUD Sub-Facility Entity is a Subsidiary of any Borrower other than (A) the Parent Companies, (B) Skilled Holdings, (C) Genesis Holdings, or (D) GHLLC; provided, that in any event, each Parent Company, GHLLC, Genesis Holdings, Skilled Holdings (to the extent such each such entity remains an indirect owner of a HUD Sub-Facility Entity) and each other Loan Party that is a direct owner of a HUD Sub-Facility Entity shall guaranty such HUD Sub-Facility.

 

Section 2.22                             Defaulting Lenders.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

 

(i)                                     Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.1 unless otherwise agreed by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii)                                  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, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.8 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the applicable L/C Issuer or the applicable Swingline Lenders against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and, sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court

 

73











 

of competent jurisdiction.  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

 

(iii)                               No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fees payable under Section 2.11 for any period during which such Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to such Defaulting Lender).

 

(b)                                 If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

 

ARTICLE 3
 CONDITIONS TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT

 

Section 3.1                                    Conditions Precedent to Loans and Letters of Credit.  The obligation of each Lender to continue any Loan on the Closing Date and the obligation of each L/C Issuer to continue any Letter of Credit on the Closing Date is subject to the satisfaction or due waiver of each of the following conditions precedent:

 

(a)                                 Certain Documents.  Administrative Agent shall have received on or prior to the Closing Date each of the following, each dated on or as of the Closing Date unless otherwise agreed by Administrative Agent, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent:

 

(i)                                     this Agreement and, to the extent not delivered prior to the Closing Date, if amended or amended and restated, the other Loan Documents as of the Closing Date, including Notes requested by any Lender, in each case duly executed;

 

(ii)                                  to the extent not complete and/or delivered prior to the Closing Date, (A) copies of UCC and other appropriate search reports and of all effective prior filings listed therein, together with evidence of the termination of such prior filings and other documents with respect to the priority of the security interest of Administrative Agent in the Collateral, in each case as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, and (B) all Control Agreements that, in the reasonable judgment of Administrative Agent, are required for the Loan Parties to comply with the Loan Documents as of the Closing Date, each duly executed by, in addition to the applicable Loan Party, the applicable financial institution;

 

(iii)                               [Reserved];

 

74

Except for those that would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, (x) each Benefit Plan and, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, Multiemployer Plan, is in compliance with applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code and other Requirements of Law, (y) there are no existing or pending (or to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened) claims (other than routine claims for benefits in the normal course), sanctions, actions, lawsuits or other proceedings (to the knowledge of any Loan Party) or investigation involving any Benefit Plan and, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, Multiemployer Plan, to which any Loan Party incurs or otherwise has or could have an obligation or any Liability and (z) no ERISA Event is reasonably expected to occur.  On the Closing Date, no ERISA Event has occurred in connection with which obligations and liabilities (contingent or otherwise) remain outstanding.  Except for such liabilities that would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, no ERISA Affiliate would have any Withdrawal Liability as a result of a complete withdrawal, as of the Closing Date, from any Multiemployer Plan.

 

(b)                                 Schedule 4.13(b) sets forth, as of the Closing Date, a complete and correct list of, and that separately identifies, all Foreign Pension Plans.  Each Foreign Pension Plan, and each trust thereunder, intended to qualify for tax exempt status under any Requirements of Law so qualifies.  Except for those that would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, each Foreign Pension Plan is in compliance with all requirements of law applicable thereto and the respective requirements of the governing documents for such plan.   No Loan Party has engaged in a transaction which would subject any Loan Party, directly or indirectly, to a tax or civil penalty that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.  With respect to each Foreign Pension Plan, reserves have been established in the financial statements furnished to Lenders in respect of any unfunded liabilities in accordance with applicable law and prudent business practice or, where required, in accordance with ordinary accounting practices in the jurisdiction in which such Foreign Pension Plan is maintained. The aggregate unfunded liabilities with respect to such Foreign Pension Plans will not result in liability of any Loan Party that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 4.14                             Environmental Matters.  Except for such matters as would not reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (i) the operations of each Loan Party are and have been in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, including obtaining, maintaining and complying with all Permits required by any applicable Environmental Law, (ii) no Loan Party is subject to or has received written notice of any Environmental Claim, or to its knowledge been threatened with any potential Environmental Claim, excluding any Environmental Claim which has been fully resolved with no further obligations on the part of said Loan Party, (iii) no Loan Party has received notice from a Governmental Authority that a Lien in favor of such Governmental Authority has attached to any Property of any Loan Party, securing, in whole or part, Environmental Liabilities, (iv) there has been no Release, or to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened Release, on, under or migrating to or from any real property currently, or to the knowledge of any Loan Party, formerly, owned, leased, subleased, operated, or otherwise occupied by any Loan Party that is likely to result in any Loan Party incurring Environmental Liabilities, and (v) to the knowledge of any Loan Party, there are no facts, circumstances or conditions arising out of or relating to the operations of any Loan Party or real property currently or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, formerly owned, leased, subleased, operated or otherwise occupied by or for any Loan Party that would be reasonably expected to result in any Loan Party incurring Environmental Liabilities.

Section 4.15                             Intellectual Property.  To the knowledge of each Loan Party, except as could not reasonably be expected individually or in the aggregate to cause a Material Adverse Effect, (a) each Loan Party owns or licenses all Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operations of its business, (b) the conduct and operations of the businesses of each Loan Party does not infringe, misappropriate, dilute, violate or otherwise impair any Intellectual Property owned by any other Person and (c) no other Person has contested any right, title or interest of any Loan Party in, or relating to, any Intellectual Property, other than, in each case, as cannot reasonably be expected to affect the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated therein.  Except for matters which are not reasonably expected to, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, there is (x) no pending (or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened) action, investigation, suit, proceeding, audit, claim, demand, order or dispute affecting any Loan Party, (y) no judgment or order rendered by any competent Governmental Authority, and (z) no settlement agreement or similar Contractual Obligation entered into by any Loan Party, in each case, with respect to Intellectual Property owned by any Loan Party and/or based on a claim of infringement, misappropriation, dilution, violation or impairment or contest of Intellectual Property owned by a third party, and no Loan Party knows of any valid bases for any such claim

 

Section 4.16                             Title; Real Property.

 

(a)                                 Set forth on Schedule 4.16 is, as of the Closing Date, (i) a complete and accurate list of all material Facilities and other material real property in which any Borrower owns a leasehold, joint venture or other interest setting forth, for each such real property, the current street address (including, where applicable, county/city, state and other relevant jurisdictions), the record owner thereof, the interest of the Borrowers in such real property and, where applicable, each landlord, lessee and sublessee thereof, and (ii) each Contractual Obligation made by a Borrower, whether contingent or otherwise, to Transfer such real property on or after the date hereof.

 

(b)                                 Each Borrower has good and marketable, valid leasehold interests in all leased real property that is purported to be leased by it as set forth on Schedule 4.16 and owns or leases all of its ABL Priority Collateral and other material personal property (except, in the case of such other material personal property, as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect) regardless of the location of such personal property, in each case, free and clear of Liens other than Liens permitted under Section 8.2 (other than Section 8.2(c)) and such real property and personal property constitutes all property necessary to conduct the business as currently conducted.

 

Section 4.17                             Full Disclosure.  The information (other than projections and statements of a general economic or general industry nature) prepared or furnished in writing by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any Loan Document or any other transaction contemplated therein, when furnished and taken as a whole, does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein, in light of the circumstances when made, not materially misleading, when considered in their entirety; provided, however, that projections contained therein are not to be viewed as factual and that actual results during the periods covered thereby may differ from the results set forth in such projections by a material amount.

 

Section 4.18                             Patriot Act; OFAC.

 

(a)                                 No Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries (and, to the knowledge of each Loan Party, no direct or indirect parent or joint venture thereof) is in violation in any material respects of any United States Requirements of Law relating to terrorism, sanctions or money laundering

 

84











 

(the “Anti-Terrorism Laws”), including (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended), and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the United States Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing and the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (31 U.S.C. 5318 et seq.) (the “Patriot Act”).

 

(b)                                 No Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries (or officer or director thereof) and, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no direct or indirect parent or joint venture thereof (or director or officer of such direct or indirect parent or joint venture), (i) is currently the subject of any Sanctions, (ii) is located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction, or (iii) is or has been (within the previous five years) engaged in any transaction with any Person who is now or was then the subject of Sanctions or who is located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction.  No Loan, nor the proceeds from any Loan, is being or has been used, directly or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, indirectly, to lend, contribute, provide or has otherwise made available to fund any activity or business in any Designated Jurisdiction or to fund any activity or business of any Person located, organized or residing in any Designated Jurisdiction or who is the subject of any Sanctions, or in any other manner that will result in any violation by any Person (including any Lender or the Administrative Agent) of Sanctions.  No part of the proceeds of the Loans made hereunder will be used by any Loan Party or its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office or anyone else acting in an official capacity in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended.

 

Section 4.19                             Eligible Accounts.  Administrative Agent and Lenders may rely, in determining which Accounts are Eligible Accounts, on all statements and representations made by the Borrowers with respect to any Account or Accounts.  With respect to the Eligible Accounts, the Borrowers represent that:

 

(a)                                 The Eligible Accounts are genuine and in all respects what they purport to be, and are not evidenced by a judgment;

 

(b)                                 The Eligible Accounts arise out of a completed, bona fide sale and delivery of goods or rendition of Medical Services to a Patient by a Borrower in the ordinary course of its business and in accordance with the terms and conditions of all purchase orders, contracts, certification, participation, certificate of need, or other documents relating thereto and forming a part of the contract between such Borrower and the Account Debtors;

 

(c)                                  The Eligible Accounts are for a liquidated amount maturing as stated in an electronically generated or a duplicate claim or invoice covering such sale or rendition of Medical Services, a copy of which has been furnished or is available to Administrative Agent;

 

(d)                                 To the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge, the Eligible Accounts are, and Lenders’ security interest in such Accounts is, not, and will not (by voluntary act or omission by the Borrowers), be in the future, subject to any offset, Lien, deduction, defense, dispute, counterclaim or any other adverse condition, and such Eligible Account are absolutely owing to a Borrower and are not contingent in any respect or for any reason;

 

(e)                                  To the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge, there are no facts, events or occurrences that in any way impair the validity or enforceability of the Eligible Accounts or tend

 

85











 

to reduce the amount payable thereunder from the face amount of the claim or invoice and statements delivered to Lenders with respect thereto;

 

(f)                                   To the best of the Borrowers’ knowledge, (i) each Account Debtor under the Eligible Account had the capacity to contract at the time any contract or other document giving rise to the Account was executed and (ii) such Account Debtor is solvent; and

 

(g)                                  The Eligible Accounts are being billed and forwarded to each Account Debtor for payment in accordance with applicable Requirements of Law and compliance and conformance with any and requisite procedures, requirements and regulations governing payment by such Account Debtor with respect to such Accounts, and such Accounts if due from a Medicaid, Medicare, TRICARE or an Approved Insurer are properly payable directly to a Borrower.

 

Section 4.20                             Use of Proceeds.  Borrowers shall use the proceeds (i) to pay certain fees and expenses related to the Skilled Acquisition and the Skilled Refinancing and (ii) for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Section 4.21                             Insurance.   Schedule 4.21 sets forth, as of the Closing Date, a true, complete and correct description of all insurance maintained by each Loan Party for itself or its Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date.  As of the Closing Date, such insurance is in full force and effect and all premiums have been duly paid.  As of the date hereof, the Loan Parties have insurance in such amounts and covering such risks and liabilities as is customary with companies in the same or similar businesses operating in the same or similar locations.

 

Section 4.22                             Reportable Transactions.

Section 4.23                             Security Documents. The Security Agreement is effective to create in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal and valid security interest (with the priority specified in the Intercreditor Agreement) in the Collateral as provided in the Security Agreement (including any proceeds of any item of Collateral), subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens.  In the case of (i) deposit accounts and securities accounts, when a Control Agreement is executed in connection therewith and (ii) the other Collateral described in the Security Agreement, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 4.23 (which financing statements have been duly completed and delivered to Administrative Agent), recordation of the security interest of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties has been made in the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the Copyright Office, and such other filings as are specified on Schedule 4.23 are made, the Administrative Agent shall have a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral (including any proceeds of any item of Collateral) (solely to the extent a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected through the filing of financing statements in the offices specified on Schedule 4.23 and the other filings specified on Schedule 4.23 or the execution of a Control Agreement), as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except with respect to Liens permitted by Section 8.2).

 

Section 4.24                             Schedules Deemed Updated.  To the extent that any of the terms and conditions in any of the Loan Documents shall be subject to any amendment, consent, or waiver entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 and after giving effect thereto the failure to update schedules to address the express subject of such amendment, consent, or waiver would result in the representations made thereafter contradicting or being in conflict with any of the terms or conditions of

 

86











 

this Agreement, then the schedules shall be deemed updated to the extent necessary to avoid such contradiction or conflict, provided that (i) the Loan Parties complied with each applicable disclosure and notice provisions (if any) and (ii) the substantive information and/or events giving rise to the disclosure do not violate the terms of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents or require further the consent of, or waiver by, the Administrative Agent and/or Lenders.  For avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.24 is intended merely to operate mechanically to avoid technical contradictions or conflicts and does not and shall not permit any substantive changes to schedules that are not otherwise expressly addressed and permitted in any amendment, consent, or waiver entered into in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1.

Section 5.6                                    Investments to Cure Financial Covenant Defaults.

 

(a)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event the Loan Parties fail to comply with the requirements of the covenant as set forth in Section 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 (each, a “Financial Cure Covenant”) as at the last day of any Fiscal Quarter (a Fiscal Quarter ending on such day, a “Curable Period”), after the Closing Date until the expiration of the 10th day subsequent to the date the certificate calculating the Financial Cure Covenants is required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1(d) with respect to the period ending on the last day of such Fiscal Quarter, the Loan Parties shall have the right (the “Cure Right”) to include any cash equity contribution made to Ultimate Parent or LLC Parent (which cash equity must consist of cash or Cash Equivalents not included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA — ABL, and Consolidated EBITDA — Term Loan pursuant to which Borrowers failed (or would have failed) to comply with any Financial Cure Covenant) after the beginning of such Fiscal Quarter and prior to the end of the Curable Period in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA — ABL, and Consolidated EBITDA — Term Loan with respect to Sections 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 and 5.4 (the “Cure Amount”).  Upon the receipt by Ultimate Parent or LLC Parent of cash in an amount equal to the Cure Amount pursuant to the exercise of such Cure Right, the Financial Cure Covenants shall be recalculated giving effect to the following pro forma adjustments (without duplication):

 

(i)                                     Consolidated EBITDA — ABL, Consolidated EBITDA — Term Loan, unrestricted cash or Cash Equivalents, as applicable, for the Curable Period shall be increased, solely for the purpose of measuring the Financial Cure Covenants for such Fiscal Quarter and for applicable subsequent periods which include such Fiscal Quarter, and disregarded for any other purpose under this Agreement (including determining the availability of any baskets and step-downs), by an amount equal to the Cure Amount (for avoidance of doubt, to the extent the Cure Amount was included in the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA — ABL, and Consolidated EBITDA — Term Loan pursuant to which Borrowers failed (or would have failed) to comply with any Financial Cure Covenant, no additional pro forma adjustment for such amounts is permitted); and

 

(ii)                                  if, after giving effect to the foregoing recalculations, the Loan Parties shall then be in compliance with the requirements of the Financial Cure Covenants, the Loan Parties shall be deemed to have satisfied the requirements of the Financial Cure Covenants as of the relevant date of determination with the same effect as though there had been no failure to comply therewith at such date, and the applicable breach or default of the Financial Cure Covenants which had occurred shall be deemed cured for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Limitations on Exercise of Cure Right, etc.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) in no event shall the Borrowers be entitled to exercise the Cure Right more than twice in any consecutive four Fiscal Quarter period or more than three times during the term of this Agreement; (B) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount which, if added to Consolidated EBITDA — ABL, Consolidated EBITDA — Term Loan, unrestricted cash or Cash Equivalents, as applicable, for the Curable Period, would cause the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Financial Cure Covenants for the relevant determination period ending on the last day of such Curable Period (it being understood and agreed that for purposes of calculating such amount no effect shall be given to any pricing, financial ratio-based conditions or any baskets with respect to covenants under this Agreement on account of receipt of such proceeds) and (C) such proceeds shall not result in any reduction of Indebtedness for purposes of calculating compliance with any of the financial covenants for such Fiscal Quarter.

To the extent Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Required Lender”, “Required Lenders — FILO Tranche” or “Required Lenders — Tranche A” and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Required Lenders, Required Lenders — FILO Tranche or Required Lenders — Tranche A, as applicable.

 

Section 10.7                             Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges that it shall, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any Lender or L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons or upon any document (including the Disclosure Documents) solely or in part because such document was transmitted by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons, conduct its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Loan

Party and make and continue to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.  Except for documents expressly required by any Loan Document to be transmitted by Administrative Agent to the Lenders or L/C Issuers, Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or L/C Issuer with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party that may come in to the possession of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons.

 

Section 10.8                             Expenses; Indemnities.

 

(a)                                 Each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Pro Rata Share with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Loan Party) that may be incurred by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.

 

(b)                                 Each Lender further agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and each of its Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by any Loan Party), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Pro Rata Share with respect to the Revolving Credit Facilities of the Liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document, any Related Document, including the Term Loan Agreement and the Term Loan Documents and the Skilled RE Credit Agreement and the Skilled RE Loan Documents, or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable to Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Person, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.

 

Section 10.9                             Resignation of Administrative Agent or L/C Issuer.

 

(a)                                 Administrative Agent may resign at any time upon 30 days (10 days if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and the Borrower (unless such notice is waived by the Borrower).  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent.  If, within 30 days (10 days if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) after the retiring Administrative Agent having given notice of resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed by the Required Lenders that has accepted such appointment, then the retiring Administrative Agent 

 

130











 

may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.  Each appointment under this clause (a) shall be subject to the prior consent of Borrower, which may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed but shall not be required during the continuance of a Default.

 

(b)                                 With effect from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents, (ii) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent, the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of Administrative Agent and make all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the retiring Administrative Agent and its Related Persons shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such retiring Administrative Agent was, or because such Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 10.4, the retiring Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring Administrative Agent).

 

(c)                                  Any L/C Issuer may resign at any time by delivering notice of such resignation to Administrative Agent, effective on the date set forth in such notice or, if no such date is set forth therein, on the date such notice shall be effective.  Upon such resignation, the L/C Issuer shall remain an L/C Issuer and shall retain its rights and obligations in its capacity as such (other than any obligation to Issue Letters of Credit but including the right to receive fees or to have Lenders participate in any L/C Reimbursement Obligation thereof) with respect to Letters of Credit issued by such L/C Issuer prior to the date of such resignation and shall otherwise be discharged from all other duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 10.10                      Release of Collateral or Guarantors.  Each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby consents to the release and hereby directs Administrative Agent to release (or, in the case of clause (b)(ii) below, release or subordinate) the following:

 

(a)                                 any Loan Party from its Obligation if all of the Securities of such Loan Party owned by any other Loan Party are Transferred in a Transfer permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Transfer, such Loan Party would not be required to become a party to this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.10;

 

(b)                                 any Lien held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is Transferred by a Loan Party in a Transfer permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), to the extent all Liens required to be granted in such Collateral pursuant to Section 7.10 after giving effect to such Transfer have been granted, (ii) any property subject to a Lien permitted hereunder in reliance upon Section 8.2(i) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Loan Parties, upon (A) termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, (B) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans, all L/C Reimbursement 

 

131











 

Obligations and all other Obligations that Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable by the holder of such Obligation, (C) deposit of cash collateral with respect to all contingent Obligations (or, in the case of any L/C Obligation, a back-up letter of credit has been issued), in amounts and on terms and conditions and with parties satisfactory to Administrative Agent and each Indemnitee that is owed such Obligations and (D) to the extent requested by Administrative Agent, receipt by the Secured Parties of liability releases from the Loan Parties each in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent;

 

(c)                                  in connection with any transaction permitted by the Loan Documents, which results in any Borrower (other than a Parent Company, GHLLC, SGH Partnership, LLC, Genesis Partnership, LLC, Genesis Holdings or Skilled Holdings) becoming a Skilled HUD RE Entity, (x) to the extent necessary to comply with requirements of Law related to HUD and (y) to the extent the Loan Parties are in compliance with the Collateral Coverage Requirement after giving effect to such transaction, the security interest in any Collateral owned by such Guarantor shall be automatically released (and its Guarantee Obligations shall be terminated); provided that, GHLLC or the applicable Loan Party shall provide the Administrative Agent such certifications as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request in order to demonstrate compliance with the Collateral Coverage Requirement with respect to any release or termination under this clause (c).  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to the preceding sentence of this Section 10.10(c) shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent (other than as to the Administrative Agent’s authority to execute and deliver such documents); and

 

(d)                                 each Lender and L/C Issuer hereby directs Administrative Agent, and Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guaranties and Liens when and as directed in this Section 10.10.

 

Section 10.11                      Additional Secured Parties.  The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender or L/C Issuer as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent) this Article 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff), Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) and Section 11.21 (Non-Public Information; Confidentiality) and the decisions and actions of Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, Required Lenders — FILO Tranche or Required Lenders — Tranche A (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 10.8 only to the extent of Liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of Pro Rata Share or similar concept, (b) except as set forth specifically herein, each of Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (c) except as set forth specifically herein, such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE 11
 MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 11.1                             Amendments, Waivers, Etc.

 

(a)                                 No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document (other than the Control Agreements, the L/C Reimbursement Agreements and the Secured Hedge Agreements) and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (1) in the case of an amendment, consent or waiver to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or granting a new Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties or extending an existing Lien over additional property, by Administrative Agent and Borrower, (2) in the case of any other waiver or consent, by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and (3) in the case of any other amendment, by the Required Lenders (or by Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders) and Borrower; provided, however, except as otherwise permitted herein that no amendment, consent or waiver described in clause (2) or (3) above, shall, unless in writing and signed by each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender, except in the case of (x) clauses (ii), (iii)(A), and (iv) below and (y) any amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of all the Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than the other affected Lenders, in which case such Defaulting Lender’s consent shall be required) directly and adversely affected thereby (or by the Administrative Agent with the consent of such Lender), in addition to any other Person the signature of which (unless specifically noted below) is otherwise required pursuant to any Loan Document, do any of the following:

 

(i)                                     waive any condition specified in Section 3.1, except any condition referring to any other provision of any Loan Document;

(iii)                               reduce (including through release, forgiveness or assignment) (A) the principal amount of, or the interest rate on, any outstanding Loan owing to such Lender, (B) any fee or accrued interest payable to such Lender or (C) if such Lender is a Revolving Credit Lender — Tranche A, any L/C Reimbursement Obligation or any obligation of Borrowers to repay (whether or not on a fixed date) any L/C Reimbursement Obligation; provided, however, that this clause (iii) does not apply to (x) any change to any provision increasing any interest rate or fee during the continuance of an Event of Default or to any payment of any such increase or (y) any modification to any financial covenant set forth in Article 5 or in any definition set forth therein or principally used therein;

 

(iv)                              waive or postpone any scheduled maturity date or other scheduled date fixed for the payment, in whole or in part, of principal of or interest on any Loan or fee owing to such Lender or for the reduction of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment; provided, however, that this clause (iv) does not apply to any change to mandatory prepayments, including those required under Section 2.8, or to the application of any payment, including as set forth in Section 2.12;

 

133











 

(v)                                 except as provided in Section 10.10, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or all or substantially all of the Guarantors from their guaranty of the Obligations;

 

(vi)                              reduce the proportion of Lenders required for the Lenders (or any subset thereof) to take any action hereunder or change the definition of the terms “Required Lenders”, “Pro Rata Share” or “Pro Rata Outstandings”;

 

(vii)                           amend Section 2.12 (Application of Payments), Section 10.10 (Release of Collateral or Guarantors) but only to the extent that such amendment relates to the Administrative Agent’s ability to release ABL Priority Collateral, Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) or this Section 11.1; or

 

(viii)                        amend the percentage set forth in the definition “Borrowing Base”, “Borrowing Base — Tranche A-1”, or Borrowing Base — Tranche A-2 (but not the actual calculation of the Borrowing Base and/or the application of liquidity factors and reserves in accordance with such definitions) to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to the Borrowers under the Borrowing Base;

 

and provided, further, that (w) any change to the definition of “Eligible Account” to the extent that any such change results in more credit being made available to the Borrowers under the Borrowing Base shall require the consent of the Supermajority Lenders, (x) any change to (A) the definition of the term “Required Lender” shall require the consent of the Lenders, (B) the definition of “Supermajority Lenders” shall require the consent of the Lenders, (C) the definition of the term “Required Lender — FILO Tranche” shall require the consent of the Revolving Credit Lenders — FILO Tranche, or (D) the definition of the term “Required Lender — Tranche A” shall require the consent of the Revolving Credit Lenders — Tranche A, (y) no amendment, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties under any Loan Document of, or any payment to, Administrative Agent (or otherwise modify any provision of Article 10 or the application thereof), the Swingline Lender, any L/C Issuer or any SPV that has been granted an option pursuant to Section 11.2(e) unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender, such L/C Issuer or, as the case may be, such SPV in addition to any signature otherwise required and (z) the consent of Borrowers shall not be required to change any order of priority set forth in Section 2.12.  No amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement or any Loan Document altering the ratable treatment of Obligations arising under Secured Hedge Agreement resulting in such Obligations being junior in right of payment to principal of the Loans or resulting in Obligations owing to any Secured Hedging Counterparty being unsecured (other than releases of Liens in accordance with the terms hereof), in each case in a manner adverse to any Secured Hedging Counterparty, shall be effective without the written consent of such Secured Hedging Counterparty or, in the case of a Secured Hedge Agreement provided or arranged by Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, Administrative Agent.

 

(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.

Section 11.2                             Assignments and Participations; Binding Effect.

 

(a)                                 Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Borrowers and Administrative Agent and when Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Lender and L/C Issuer that such Lender or L/C Issuer has executed it.  Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, but only to the benefit of, Borrowers (except for Article 10), Administrative Agent, each Lender and L/C Issuer and, to the extent provided in Section 10.11, 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 10.9), none of Borrower, any L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent 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 aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments (but not its Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A-1, Revolving Credit Commitment — Tranche A-2 or Revolving Credit Commitment — FILO Tranche separately) and its rights and obligations with respect to Loans and Letters of Credit) to (i) any existing Lender (other than a Restricted Person), (ii) any Affiliate of any existing Lender (other than a Restricted Person) or (iii) any other Person (other than a Restricted Person) acceptable (which acceptance shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to Administrative Agent and, as long as no Event of Default is continuing, Borrower; provided, however, that (x) such Transfers must be ratable among the obligations owing to and owed by such Lender with respect to the Revolving Credit Facility and (y) for the Revolving Credit Facility, the aggregate outstanding principal amount (determined as of the effective date of the applicable Assignment) of the Loans, Revolving Credit Commitments and L/C Obligations subject to any such Transfer shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000, unless such Transfer is made to an existing Lender or an Affiliate of any existing Lender, is of the assignor’s (together with its Affiliates) entire interest in the Revolving Credit Facility or is made with the prior consent of Borrowers and Administrative Agent.

 

(c)                                  Procedure.  The parties to each Transfer made in reliance on clause (b) above (other than those described in clause (e) below) shall execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment via an electronic settlement system designated by Administrative Agent (or if previously agreed with Administrative Agent, via a manual execution and delivery of the assignment) evidencing such Transfer, together with any existing Note subject to such Transfer (or any affidavit of loss therefor acceptable to Administrative Agent), any tax forms required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.17(d) and payment of an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500; provided, that (1) if a Transfer by a Lender is made to an Affiliate of such assigning Lender, then no assignment fee shall be due in connection with such Transfer, and (2) if a Transfer by a Lender is made to an assignee that is not an Affiliate of such assignor Lender, and concurrently to one or more Affiliates of such assignee, then only one assignment fee of $3,500 shall be due in connection with such Transfer.  Upon receipt of all the foregoing, and conditioned upon such receipt and, if such assignment is made in accordance with clause (iii) of Section 11.2(b), upon Administrative Agent (and Borrower, if applicable) consenting to such Assignment, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment, Administrative Agent shall record or cause to be recorded in the Register the information contained in such Assignment.  This Section 11.2(c) shall be construed so that the Loans are at all times maintained in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.

 

(d)                                 Effectiveness.  Subject to the recording of an Assignment by Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Section 2.14(b), (i) the assignee thereunder shall become a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations under the Loan Documents have been assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment, shall have the rights and obligations of a 

 

135











 

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 Revolving Credit 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 10, Section 11.8 (Right of Setoff) and Section 11.9 (Sharing of Payments, Etc.) to the extent provided in Section 10.11 (Additional Secured Parties)).

 

(e)                                  Participants and SPVs.  In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 11.2, each Lender may, (x) with notice to Administrative Agent, grant to an SPV (other than a Defaulting Lender) the option to make all or any part of any Loan that such Lender would otherwise be required to make hereunder (and the exercise of such option by 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 (other than a Defaulting Lender) the right to receive payment with respect to any Obligation and (y) without notice to or consent from Administrative Agent or Borrower, sell participations to one or more Persons (other than a Defaulting Lender) 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 Letters of Credit); provided, however, that, whether as a result of any term of any Loan Document or of such grant or participation, (i) 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, (ii) 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 (A) each such participant and SPV shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements) and 2.17 (Taxes), but only to the extent such participant or SPV delivers the tax forms such Lender is required to collect pursuant to Section 2.17(d) 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 (B) 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 Administrative Agent by such SPV and such Lender, provided, however, that in no case (including pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above) shall an SPV or participant have the right to enforce any of the terms of any Loan Document, and (iii) 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 (iii) and (iv) of Section 11.1(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 11.1(a)(v) (or amendments, consents and waivers with respect to Section 10.10 to release all or substantially all of the Collateral).  No party hereto shall institute (and each Borrower shall cause each other Loan Party not to institute) against any SPV grantee of an option pursuant to this clause (e) any bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation or similar proceeding, prior to the date that is one (1) year and one (1) day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper of such SPV; provided, however, 

 

136











 

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 termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and the payment in full of the Obligations.

 

(f)                                   Market Flexibility.  Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Administrative Agent reserves the right, prior to or after the execution of Loan Documents, to syndicate, sell, assign, transfer, participate, deposit with a trust or issue mortgage pass-through certificates or other securities evidencing a beneficial interest in a rated or unrated public offering or private placement, or otherwise securitize all or a portion of the Revolving Credit Facility to one or more financial institutions or investors (collectively, the “Secondary Market Investors”) in the public or private markets that will become parties to, or otherwise acquire an interest in, such Loan Documents or the Revolving Credit Facility (any such transaction, a “Secondary Market Transaction”) in one or more transactions managed by GECC.

 

GECC may commence such efforts at any time or from time to time.  To the extent a Secondary Market Transaction is pursued by GECC, Permitted Investors and Borrowers agree to actively assist and cooperate with GECC and Administrative Agent to facilitate the Secondary Market Transaction in a timely and orderly manner. Such assistance may include (i) using reasonable efforts to ensure that such efforts benefit materially from existing banking and investment relationships of Borrowers and the Permitted Investors and their respective Affiliates, (ii) direct contact, during the Secondary Market Transaction efforts, between senior management, representatives and advisors and potential Secondary Market Investors, (iii) assistance in the preparation of information to be used in connection with such efforts (including review of any offering memorandum, prospectus, filing with respect to the Secondary Market Transaction and indemnification of Administrative Agent and GECC with respect to untrue or misleading statements contained therein of which Borrowers, Permitted Investors or their respective Affiliates were aware), (iv) hosting or participating in one or more meetings with potential Secondary Market Investors, (v) providing such financial and other information as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent, and (vi) providing such legal opinions as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or GECC.

 

In furtherance of such efforts of GECC, Borrowers agree (at their own cost and expense) to implement any changes or modifications reasonably necessary to facilitate the marketability of the Revolving Credit Facility, whether or not actually associated with a specific Secondary Market Transaction, which changes and modifications may include a bifurcation of the Revolving Credit Facility (or any pool or sub-pool thereof) into two or more separate and distinct financings, the obligations for which may be assigned to, or undertaken by, separate pools of borrowers (such as the HUD Sub-Facility); provided, however, the overall economics to the Loan Parties shall not be materially adversely affected by any such action.

 

(g)                                  Assignments to Federal Reserve Banks.  In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.2, any Lender may (without notice or consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers or any other Person and without payment of any fee) assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans to any U.S. Federal Reserve Bank or other comparable foreign central bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve System or similar foreign regulation and any operating circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or other comparable foreign central bank.  No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

137











 

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

 

Section 11.3                             Costs and Expenses.  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 therefor except as expressly provided therein.  In addition, Borrowers agree to pay or reimburse upon demand (a) Administrative Agent for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with the investigation, development, preparation, negotiation, syndication, execution, interpretation, administration, amendment, amendment and restatement or other modification, of any Loan Document and/or term in 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 and documented fees, charges and disbursements of a single legal counsel to Administrative Agent or such Related Persons, taken as a whole (and a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, of another firm of counsel for such affected Person), reasonable out-of-pocket and documented fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with Intralinks® or any other E-System and allocated to the Revolving Credit Facilities by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, and reasonable out-of pocket fees, charges and disbursements for and of the auditors, appraisers, and printers retained by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, in each case, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses not invoiced prior to the Closing Date, (b) Administrative Agent for all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and UCC filings and fees for post-closing UCC and judgment and tax lien searches and wire transfer fees and audit expenses (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 Administrative Agent for its examiners), and for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by it or any of its Related Persons in connection with internal audit reviews, field examinations and Collateral examinations, and (c) each of Administrative Agent, its Related Persons, and each Lender and L/C Issuer for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with (i) the enforcement or preservation of any right or remedy under any Loan Document (including amendments and other modifications related to any restructuring in the nature of a work-out), any Obligation, and/or with respect to the Collateral or any other related right or remedy, or (ii) 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 

 

138











 

for document production relating thereto), including the fees and disbursements of a single counsel, a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, another firm of counsel for such affected Person.

 

Section 11.4                             Indemnities.

 

(a)                                 Borrowers agree to jointly and severally indemnify, hold harmless and defend Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer, each Secured Hedging Counterparty, each Person that each L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder 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 Related Document, including the Term Loan Agreement and the Term Loan Documents and the Skilled RE Credit Agreement and the Skilled RE Loan Documents, any Disclosure Document, any Obligation (or the repayment thereof), any Letter of Credit, the use or intended use of the proceeds of any Loan or the use of any Letter of Credit, any transaction contemplated by a Related Document, including the Term Loan Agreement and the Term Loan Documents and the Skilled RE Credit Agreement and the Skilled RE Loan Documents, or any securities filing of, or with respect to, any Loan Party; provided, however, with respect to Liabilities arising from any Related Document, such Liabilities (A) shall be claimed by the Indemnitee under such Related Document to the extent arising thereunder (by way of example, if the Liability of a Lender arises solely as a result of such Lender also being a lender under the Term Loan Facility, such Lender must seek indemnity pursuant to the Term Loan Documents and not this Agreement), and (B) shall be claimed without duplication of any indemnity provided under any Related Document, (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 in connection with any of the foregoing, (iii) any actual or prospective investigation, litigation or other proceeding, whether or not brought by any such Indemnitee or any of its Related Persons, any holders of Securities or creditors (and including attorneys’ fees in any case of a single counsel and a single local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions) for all such Indemnitees, taken as a whole, and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest, another firm of counsel for such affected Person), whether or not (A) any such Indemnitee, Related Person, holder or creditor is a party thereto and (B) any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrowers, their equity holders, their respective Affiliates, their respective creditors or any other Person, or is 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 Borrowers shall not have any liability under this Section 11.4 to any Indemnitee with respect to any Indemnified Matter, and no Indemnitee shall have any liability with respect to any Indemnified Matter other than (to the extent otherwise liable), to the extent such liability (A) has resulted primarily 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, or (B) has resulted from a material breach in bad faith of this Agreement by such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.  Furthermore, each Loan Party waives and agrees not to assert against any Indemnitee, and shall cause each other Loan Party to waive 

 

139











 

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.

 

(b)                                 Without limiting the foregoing, “Indemnified Matters” includes (i) [reserved]; (ii) any claims, proceedings or causes of action brought by any resident of a Facility; and (iii) any loss, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or suffered by any Indemnitee as a result of any (x) breach by a Borrower of any contract or lease with a resident of a Facility or (y) violation of any applicable Requirement of Law governing a Facility or the uses described in Section 4.1(b).

 

Section 11.5                             Survival.  Any indemnification or other protection provided to any Indemnitee pursuant to any Loan Document (including pursuant to Section 2.17 (Taxes), Section 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), Section 9.3 (Actions in Respect of Letters of Credit), Article 10 (Administrative Agent), Section 11.3 (Costs and Expenses), Section 11.4 (Indemnities) or this Section 11.5) and all representations and warranties made in any Loan Document shall (A) survive the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments 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 11.6                             Limitation of Liability for Certain Damages.  In addition to, and not in substitution for or limitation of, the obligations in Section 11.4, in no event shall any party hereto be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).  Each party hereto hereby waives, releases and agrees (and shall cause each other party hereto 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 11.7                             Lender-Creditor Relationship.  The relationship between the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and Administrative Agent, 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 relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time, a Loan Party shall have a claim based on any theory of the existence (actual or implied) of a fiduciary relationship with any Secured Party by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, each Loan Party expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each and every claim it may have against Secured Parties in respect of any such fiduciary relationship claim.

 

Section 11.8                             Right of Setoff.  Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender, each L/C Issuer and each Affiliate (including each branch office thereof) of any of them is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Loan Party), 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 Administrative Agent, such Lender, such L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of any Loan Party 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; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the

 

140












 

Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  Each of Administrative Agent, each Lender and each L/C Issuer agrees promptly to notify Borrowers and Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender or its Affiliates; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights under this Section 11.8 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuers and their Affiliates and other Secured Parties may have.

 

Section 11.9                             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 2.16 (Breakage Costs; Increased Costs; Capital Requirements), 2.17 (Taxes) and 2.18 (Substitution of Lenders) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed by, 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 Administrative Agent and applied in accordance with this Agreement (or, if such application would then be at the discretion of 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 L/C Issuer in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender or L/C Issuer without interest and (b) such Lender 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 were the direct creditor of Borrowers in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 11.10                      Marshaling; Payments Set Aside; Protective Advances.  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 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 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.  Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 11.10, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of a Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent is authorized by Loan Parties and the Secured Parties, from time to time in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion (but Administrative Agent shall have absolutely no obligation to), to make Base Rate Loans to Borrowers on behalf of the Revolving Credit Lenders, which Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable (i) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, (ii) to enhance the likelihood of, or maximize the amount of, repayment of the Loans and other Obligations, or (iii) to pay any other amount chargeable to or required to be paid by the Loan Parties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, payments of principal, interest, fees, reimbursable expenses, taxes or insurance (any of such Loans are in this clause (c) referred to as “Protective Advances”); provided, that the amount of Revolving Credit Outstanding — Tranche A plus Protective Advances shall not exceed the Revolving Commitments — Tranche A then in effect.  Protective Advances may be made even if the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article 3 have not been satisfied.  Protective Advances shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments then in effect at any time without the prior consent of Required Lenders — Tranche A.  Each Protective Advance shall be secured by the Liens on the Collateral in favor of the 

 

141











 

Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and shall constitute Obligations hereunder.  The Loan Parties shall pay the unpaid principal amount and all unpaid and accrued interest of each Protective Advance on the earlier of the Revolving Credit Termination Date and the date on which demand for payment is made by Administrative Agent.  Each Loan Party agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent, on demand, for all costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with such payment or performance and agrees that such amounts shall constitute Obligations.  Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Administrative Agent in good faith.  In addition to and not in limitation of any other provision set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, Loan Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that the powers conferred on Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s interest (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Administrative Agent to exercise any such powers.

Section 11.12                      Electronic Transmissions.

 

(a)                                 Authorization.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), each of Administrative Agent, the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the L/C Issuers and each of their Related Persons is authorized (but not required) to transmit, post or otherwise make or communicate, in its sole discretion, Electronic Transmissions in connection with any Loan Document and the transactions contemplated therein.  Each Loan Party and each Secured Party hereby acknowledges and agrees, and each Loan Party shall cause each other Loan Party to acknowledge and agree, that the use of Electronic Transmissions is not necessarily secure and that there are risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and abuse and each indicates it assumes and accepts such risks by hereby authorizing the transmission of Electronic Transmissions.

 

(b)                                 Signatures.  Subject to the provisions of Section 11.11(a), (i)(A) no posting to any E-System shall be denied legal effect merely because it is made electronically, (B) each E-Signature on any such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “signature” and (C) each such posting shall be deemed sufficient to satisfy any requirement for a “writing”, in each case including pursuant to any Loan Document, any applicable provision of any UCC, the federal Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act and any substantive or procedural Requirement of Law governing such subject matter, (ii) each such posting that is not readily capable of bearing either a signature or a reproduction of a signature may be signed, and shall be deemed signed, by attaching to, or logically associating with such posting, an E-Signature, upon which each Secured Party and Loan Party may rely and assume the authenticity thereof, (iii) each such posting containing a signature, a reproduction of a signature or an E-Signature shall, for all intents and purposes, have the same effect and weight as a signed paper original and (iv) each party hereto or beneficiary hereto 

 

143











 

agrees not to contest the validity or enforceability of any posting on any E-System or E-Signature on any such posting under the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law requiring certain documents to be in writing or signed; provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit such party’s or beneficiary’s right to contest whether any posting to any E-System or E-Signature has been altered after transmission.

 

(c)                                  Separate Agreements.  All uses of an E-System shall be governed by and subject to, in addition to Section 11.11 and this Section 11.12, separate terms and conditions posted or referenced in such E-System and related Contractual Obligations executed by Secured Parties and Loan Parties in connection with the use of such E-System.

 

(d)                                 Limitation of Liability.  All E-Systems and Electronic Transmissions shall be provided “as is” and “as available”.  None of Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of any E-Systems or Electronic Transmission, and each disclaims all liability for errors or omissions therein.  No Warranty of any kind is made by Administrative Agent or any of its Related Persons in connection with any E-Systems or Electronic Communication, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third-party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects.  Each Loan Party and each Secured Party agrees (and each Loan Party shall cause each other Loan Party to agree) that Administrative Agent has no responsibility for maintaining or providing any equipment, software, services or any testing required in connection with any Electronic Transmission or otherwise required for any E-System.

 

Section 11.13                      Governing Law.  This Agreement, each other Loan Document that does not expressly set forth its applicable law, and the rights, remedies and obligations of the parties hereto and thereto, and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to this Agreement or such Loan Document, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties, shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of law provisions (other than Section 5-1401 of the General Obligations Law).

 

Section 11.14                      Jurisdiction.

 

(a)                                 Submission to Jurisdiction.  Any legal action or proceeding with respect to any Loan Document shall be brought exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Loan Party hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall limit the right of Administrative Agent to commence any proceeding in the federal or state courts of any other jurisdiction to the extent Administrative Agent determines that such action is necessary or appropriate to exercise its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents.  The parties hereto (and, to the extent set forth in any other Loan Document, each other Loan Party) hereby irrevocably waive any objection, including any objection to the laying of venue or based on the grounds of forum non conveniens, that any of them may now or hereafter have to the bringing of any such action or proceeding in such jurisdictions.

 

(b)                                 Service of Process.  Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of any and all legal process, summons, notices and other documents and other service of process of any kind and consents to such service in any suit, action or proceeding brought in the United States of America with respect to or otherwise arising out of or in connection with any Loan 

 

144











 

Document by any means permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, including by the mailing thereof (by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid) to the address of Borrowers specified in Section 11.11 (and shall be effective when such mailing shall be effective, as provided therein).  Each Loan Party agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

(c)                                  Non-Exclusive Jurisdiction.  Nothing contained in this Section 11.14 shall affect the right of Administrative Agent or any Lender to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Requirements of Law or commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against any Loan Party in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 11.15                      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO, OR DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH, ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED THEREIN OR RELATED THERETO (WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO RELATED PERSON OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.15.

 

Section 11.16                      Severability.  Any provision of any Loan Document being held illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall not affect any part of such provision not held illegal, invalid or unenforceable, any other provision of any Loan Document or any part of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provision of this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent then such provision shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

 

Section 11.17                      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 11.18                      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 Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer 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).

Section 11.19                      Usury.  Notwithstanding any other provision herein, the aggregate interest rate charged with respect to any of the Obligations, including all charges or fees in connection therewith deemed in the nature of interest under applicable law shall not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate.  If the rate of interest (determined without regard to the preceding sentence) under this Agreement at any time exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder shall bear interest at the Highest Lawful Rate until the total amount of interest due hereunder equals the amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect.  In addition, if when the Loans made hereunder are repaid in full the total interest due hereunder (taking into account the increase provided for above) is less than the total amount of interest that would have been due hereunder if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect, then to the extent permitted by law, Borrowers shall pay to Administrative Agent an amount equal to the difference between the amount of interest paid and the amount of interest which would have been paid if the Highest Lawful Rate had at all times been in effect.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of Lenders and Borrowers to conform strictly to any applicable usury laws.  Accordingly, if any Lender contracts for, charges, or receives any consideration that constitutes interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate, then any such excess shall be cancelled automatically and, if previously paid, shall at such Lender’s option be applied to the outstanding amount of the Loans made hereunder or be refunded to Borrowers.

 

Section 11.20                      Use of Name.  Each party hereto agrees 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 Securities) using the name, logo or otherwise referring to the other party or of any of its Affiliates, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated therein to which the Secured Parties are party without at least two (2) Business Days’ prior notice to such other party and without the prior consent of such other party except to the extent required to do so under applicable Requirements of Law and then, only after consulting with such other party prior thereto.

 

Section 11.21                      Non-Public Information; Confidentiality.

 

(a)                                 Each Lender and L/C Issuer acknowledges and agrees that it may receive material non-public information hereunder concerning the Loan Parties and their Affiliates and Subsidiaries 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, L/C Issuer and Administrative 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 Borrowers’ consent, (ii) to Related Persons of such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or to any Person that any L/C Issuer causes to Issue Letters of Credit hereunder, that are advised of the confidential nature of such information and are instructed to keep such information confidential, (iii) to the extent such information presently is or hereafter becomes available to such Lender, L/C Issuer or Administrative 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 (and the Loan Parties consent to the publication of such tombstone or other advertising materials by Administrative Agent, any Lender, any L/C Issuer or any of their Related Persons), (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 borrowers, (vii) to current or prospective assignees, SPVs grantees of any option described in Section 11.2(e) or participants, direct or contractual counterparties to any Hedge 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 11.21 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 11.21 and those of any other Contractual Obligation entered into with any Loan Party (whether or not a Loan Document), the terms of this Section 11.21 shall govern.

 

Section 11.22                      Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender subject to the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that, pursuant to Section 326 thereof, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, including the name and address of Borrowers and other information allowing such Lender to identify Borrowers in accordance with such act.

 

Section 11.23                      Agent for Loan Parties.

 

(a)                                 Each of the entities comprising Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes GHLLC as its agent to request and receive advances in respect of the Loans (and to otherwise act on behalf of each such entity pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) from Administrative Agent in the name or on behalf of each such entity.  Administrative Agent may disburse proceeds of the Loans to the bank account of any one or more of such entities without notice to any of the other entities comprising Borrowers or any other Person at any time obligated on or in respect of the Obligations.

 

(b)                                 Each of the entities comprising Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes GHLLC as its agent to receive statements of account and all other notices from Administrative Agent or the Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

(c)                                  Each of the entities comprising Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes GHLLC as its agent to execute and deliver the Loan Documents, the Environmental Indemnity, any amendments to or waivers of any of the foregoing and any other agreements, documents, instruments, records or filings delivered under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity, in the name of or on behalf of such entity.  Each of the entities comprising Borrowers hereby ratifies any and all Loan Documents and any and all other agreements, documents, instruments, records or filings previously executed and delivered by GHLLC under or in connection with this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Environmental Indemnity in such Borrower’s name or on its behalf.

 

(d)                                 No purported termination of the appointment of GHLLC as agent for Borrowers shall be effective without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

 

Section 11.24                      Existing Agreements Superseded; Exhibits and Schedules.

(c)                                  Each Loan Party agrees that each Loan Document (other than this Agreement) to which it is a party shall remain in full force and effect following the execution and delivery of this Agreement and that all references in the Environmental Indemnity and any of the Loan Documents to the “Credit Agreement” shall be deemed to refer to this Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
