CREDIT AGREEMENT

 

This CREDIT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is entered into as of June 14, 2007, among OSI RESTAURANT PARTNERS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (formerly known as OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc., a Delaware corporation, the “Borrower”),
OSI HOLDCO, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as Administrative Agent, Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, each lender from time to time party hereto (collectively, the “Lenders” and individually, a “Lender”), BANK
OF AMERICA, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and GENERAL ELECTRIC CAPITAL CORPORATION, SUNTRUST BANK, COOPERATIEVE CENTRALE RAIFFEISEN – BOERENLEENBANK B.A., “RABOBANK NEDERLAND,” NEW YORK BRANCH, LASALLE BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AND WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Co-Documentation Agents.

 

PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

 

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement (as this and other capitalized terms used in these preliminary statements are defined in Section 1.01 below), Kangaroo Acquisition, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned Subsidiary of Holdings (“Acquisition Sub”), shall
be merged with the Borrower, with the Borrower as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”).

 

The Borrower has requested that substantially simultaneously with the consummation of the Merger, the Lenders extend credit to the Borrower in the form of (i) Term Loans in an initial aggregate principal amount of $1,310,000,000, (ii) a Working Capital RC Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $150,000,000 and (iii) a
Pre-Funded RC Facility in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000. The Working Capital RC Facility may include one or more Swing Line Loans and one or more Letters of Credit from time to time.

 

The proceeds of the Term Loans made on the Closing Date, together with the proceeds of (i) the issuance of the Senior Notes, (ii) the Specified Lease Transactions and (iii) the cash portion of the Equity Contributions, will be used to finance the Debt Prepayment and pay the Merger Consideration and the Transaction Expenses.
Additional proceeds of Working Capital RC Loans made on the Closing Date will be used to fund (i) working capital adjustments, if any, required under the Merger Agreement, seasonal working capital needs and variations from working capital projected on the Closing Date, (ii) amounts not to exceed $11,500,000 to finance the Debt Prepayment and pay the Merger Consideration and the Transaction Expenses, and (iii) any escrow accounts, reserve deposits or similar amounts in respect of the Master Lease
or related Sub-Leases.

 

The proceeds of Working Capital RC Loans and Swing Line Loans made after the Closing Date will be used for working capital, Capital Expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries, including the financing of Permitted Acquisitions; provided that
if, as of the last day of the immediately preceding Test Period (after giving Pro Forma Effect to such Borrowing and any other Borrowing to occur on such date) the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio is greater than or equal to 5.25:1.00, proceeds of Working Capital RC Loans and Swing Line Loans may be utilized solely for working capital and other general

Section 1.06. Times of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

 

Section 1.07. Timing of Payment of Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described
in the definition of Interest Period or in Section 2.05(e)) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 1.08. Currency Equivalents Generally. Any amount specified in this Agreement (other than in Articles II, IX and X) or any of the other Loan Documents to be in Dollars shall also include the equivalent of such amount in any currency other than Dollars, such equivalent
amount to be determined at the rate of exchange quoted by the Reuters World Currency Page for the applicable currency at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on such day (or, in the event such rate does not appear on any Reuters World Currency Page, by reference to such other publicly available service for displaying exchange rates as may be agreed upon by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, or, in the absence of such agreement, such rate shall instead be the arithmetic average of the spot rates of exchange of the
Administrative Agent in the market where its foreign currency exchange operations in respect of such currency are then being conducted, at or about 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such date for the purchase of Dollars for delivery two (2) Business Days later). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely
as a result of changes in rates of exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.08 shall otherwise apply to such Sections, including with respect to determining whether any Indebtedness or Investment may be incurred at any time under such Sections.

 

Section 1.09. Change of Currency. Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify with the Borrower’s consent to appropriately reflect a change in currency of any
country and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency.

 

Section 1.10. Cumulative Growth Amount Transactions. If more than one action occurs on any given date the permissibility of the taking of which is determined hereunder by reference to the amount of the Cumulative Growth Amount immediately prior to the taking of such action,
the permissibility of the taking of such action shall be determined independently and in no event may any two or more such actions be treated as occurring simultaneously.

The Commitments and Credit Extensions

 

Section 2.01. The Loans. (a) The Term Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Term Lender severally agrees to make to the Borrower a single loan denominated in Dollars in a principal
amount equal to such Term Lender’s Term

 

-60-

 

Commitment on the Closing Date. Amounts borrowed under this Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Term Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

 

(b) The Working Capital RC Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Working Capital RC Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower (each such loan, a “Working
Capital RC Loan”) from time to time, on any Business Day until the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Working Capital RC Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Working Capital RC Loans of any Lender, plus such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment. Within the limits of each Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment, and subject
to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(b). Working Capital RC Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

 

(c) The Pre-Funded RC Borrowings. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Pre-Funded RC Lender severally agrees to make loans denominated in Dollars to the Borrower (each such loan, a “Pre-Funded RC Loan”)
from time to time, on any Business Day until the Maturity Date for the Pre-Funded RC Facility, in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Commitment; provided that after giving effect to any Pre-Funded RC Borrowing, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Pre-Funded RC Loans of any Lender shall not exceed such Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Commitment. Within the limits of
each Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c). Pre-Funded RC Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurocurrency Rate Loans, as further provided herein.

 

Section 2.02. Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Loans. (a) Each Term Borrowing, each Working Capital RC Borrowing, each Pre-Funded RC Borrowing, each conversion of Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans from one Type to the other, and
each continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (i) except for notices delivered prior to the Closing Date, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans, and (ii) one
(1) Business Day before the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate Loans or conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of
$1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Except as provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base

 

-61-

 

Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a Term Borrowing, a Working Capital RC Borrowing, a Pre-Funded RC Borrowing, a conversion of Term Loans, Working Capital
RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans, (ii) the requested date of the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans are to be converted, and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest
Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurocurrency Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests
a Borrowing of, conversion to, or continuation of Eurocurrency Rate Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month.

 

(b) Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the applicable Class of Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Borrowing, each Appropriate Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m., in each case on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02
(and, if such Borrowing is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are Swing Line Loans or L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of such Borrowing shall be applied, first, to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings, second, to the payment in full of any such Swing Line Loans, and third,
to the Borrower as provided above. Each Pre-Funded RC Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to fund each Pre-Funded RC Loan to be made by such Pre-Funded RC Lender hereunder solely by requesting the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank (and the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank hereby agrees) to withdraw such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits on deposit with the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank in the Pre-Funded
RC Deposit Account and to pay same over to the Administrative Agent.

 

(c) Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurocurrency Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurocurrency Rate Loan unless the Borrower pays the amount due, if any, under Section 3.05(a) in connection

 

-62-

 

therewith. During the existence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may require that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurocurrency Rate Loans.

 

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

 

(e) After giving effect to all Term Borrowings, all Working Capital RC Borrowings, all Pre-Funded RC Borrowings, all conversions of Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans or Pre-Funded RC Loans as the same Type, there shall not be
more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect (or such greater number as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

 

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date
of any Borrowing.

 

Section 2.03. Letters of Credit. (a) The Letter of Credit Commitment. (i) On and after the Closing Date, the Existing Letters of Credit will constitute Letters of Credit under this Agreement and for purposes
hereof will be deemed to have been issued on the Closing Date. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, (A) each L/C Issuer agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Working Capital RC Lenders set forth in this Section 2.03, (1) from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Closing Date until the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, to issue Letters of Credit denominated in Dollars on a sight basis for the account of the Borrower (provided that
any Letter of Credit may be for the benefit of any Subsidiary of the Borrower) and to amend or renew Letters of Credit previously issued by it, in accordance with Section 2.03(b), and (2) to honor drafts under the Letters of Credit and (B) the Working Capital RC Lenders severally agree to participate in Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Section 2.03; provided that no L/C Issuer shall be obligated to make any L/C Credit
Extension with respect to any Letter of Credit, and no Lender shall be obligated to participate in any Letter of Credit if as of the date of such L/C Credit Extension, (x) the Working Capital RC Exposure of any Lender would exceed such Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment or (y) the Outstanding Amount of the L/C Obligations would exceed the Letter of Credit Sublimit. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower’s ability to obtain Letters of
Credit shall be fully revolving, and accordingly the Borrower may, during the foregoing period, obtain Letters of Credit to replace Letters of Credit that have expired or that have been drawn upon and reimbursed.

 

-63-

 

(ii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if:

 

(A) any order, judgment or decree of any Governmental Authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such L/C Issuer from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any Law applicable to such L/C Issuer or any directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such L/C
Issuer shall prohibit, or direct that such L/C Issuer refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer with respect to such Letter of Credit any restriction, reserve or capital requirement (for which such L/C Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date, or shall impose upon such L/C Issuer any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date (for which such L/C
Issuer is not otherwise compensated hereunder);

 

(B) subject to Section 2.03(b)(iii), the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur more than twelve months after the date of issuance or last renewal, unless the Required Lenders have approved such expiry date;

 

(C) the expiry date of such requested Letter of Credit would occur after the Letter of Credit Expiration Date, unless all the Working Capital RC Lenders have approved such expiry date;

 

(D) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any Laws binding upon such L/C Issuer;

 

(E) such Letter of Credit is in an initial amount less than $50,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the respective L/C Issuer); or

 

(F) any Working Capital RC Lender is a Defaulting Lender at such time, unless such L/C Issuer has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate such L/C Issuer’s risk with respect to the participation in Letters of Credit by such Defaulting Lender, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the L/C Obligations.

 

(iii) An L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit if (A) such L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to such Letter of Credit.

 

(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. (i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon the request of the Borrower delivered to an L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) in the form
of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of Credit Application must be received by the relevant L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as the case may be; or, in each case, such later date and time as the relevant L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in its sole discretion. In the case of a request for
an initial issuance of a Letter

 

-64-

 

of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer: (a) the proposed issuance date of the requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (b) the amount thereof; (c) the expiry date thereof; (d) the name and address of the beneficiary
thereof; (e) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; (f) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing thereunder; and (g) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail reasonably satisfactory to the relevant L/C Issuer (1) the Letter
of Credit to be amended; (2) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (3) the nature of the proposed amendment; and (4) such other matters as the relevant L/C Issuer may reasonably request.

 

(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from the Borrower and, if not, such L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with a
copy thereof. Upon receipt by the relevant L/C Issuer of confirmation from the Administrative Agent that the requested issuance or amendment is permitted in accordance with the terms hereof, then, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, such L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of Credit for the account of the Borrower or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be. Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Working Capital RC Lender shall be deemed to, and
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the relevant L/C Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Letter of Credit.

 

(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit Application, the relevant L/C Issuer shall agree to issue a Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions (each, an “Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit”); provided that
any such Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit must permit the relevant L/C Issuer to prevent any such renewal at least once in each twelve month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the “Nonrenewal Notice Date”) in each such twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the
relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the relevant L/C Issuer for any such renewal. Once an Auto-Renewal Letter of Credit has been issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the relevant L/C Issuer to permit the renewal of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided that the relevant L/C Issuer shall
not permit any such renewal if (A) the relevant L/C Issuer has determined that it would have no obligation at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its renewed form under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of Section 2.03(a)(ii) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is five (5) Business Days before the Nonrenewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent, any Working Capital RC Lender or the Borrower
that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied.

 

-65-

 

(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary thereof, the relevant L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.

 

(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations. (i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall notify promptly the Borrower and the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later
than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day immediately following any payment by an L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit (each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse such L/C Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing, together with interest on the amount so paid or disbursed by such L/C Issuer, to the extent not reimbursed on the date of such payment of disbursement. If the Borrower
does not reimburse such L/C Issuer by such time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the Honor Date, the amount of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a Working Capital RC Borrowing
of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the Working Capital RC Commitments of the Appropriate Lenders and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by an L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent pursuant to
this Section 2.03(c)(i) may be given by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect of such notice.

 

(ii) Each Appropriate Lender (including any Appropriate Lender acting as an L/C Issuer) shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) make funds available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer, in Dollars, at the Administrative Agent’s Office for payments in an amount equal to its Pro
Rata Share of the Unreimbursed Amount not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section 2.03(c)(iii), each Appropriate Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the relevant L/C Issuer.

 

(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a Working Capital RC Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall be deemed to have incurred from the relevant L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default Rate. In such event, each Appropriate Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(ii) shall be deemed payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.03.

 

-66-

 

(iv) Until each Appropriate Lender funds its Working Capital RC Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such amount
shall be solely for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer.

 

(v) Each Working Capital RC Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital RC Loans or L/C Advances to reimburse an L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated by this Section 2.03(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender may have against the relevant L/C Issuer, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Working Capital RC Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital RC Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) is subject
to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for the amount of any payment made by such L/C Issuer under any Letter of Credit, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(vi) If any Working Capital RC Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the relevant L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03(c) by the time specified in Section 2.03(c)(ii), such L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover
from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment is immediately available to such L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the relevant L/C Issuer submitted to any Working Capital RC Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.03(c)(vi) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) If, at any time after an L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of Credit and has received from any Working Capital RC Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such payment in accordance with Section 2.03(c), the Administrative
Agent receives for the account of such L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such
Lender’s L/C Advance was outstanding) in the same funds as those received by the Administrative Agent.

 

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of an L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(i) is required to be returned under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Appropriate Lender shall pay
to the Administrative Agent for the account of such L/C Issuer its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

 

-67-

 

(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer for each drawing under each Letter of Credit issued by it and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:

 

(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Agreement, or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

 

(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan Party may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the relevant L/C Issuer or any other Person, whether in connection with
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto, or any unrelated transaction;

 

(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing
under such Letter of Credit;

 

(iv) any payment by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the relevant L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;

 

(v) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranty or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations any Loan Party in respect of such Letter of Credit; or

 

(vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party;

 

provided that the foregoing shall not excuse any L/C Issuer from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable Law) suffered by the
Borrower that are caused by such L/C Issuer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof.

 

-68-

 

(f) Role of L/C Issuers. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the relevant L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any draft, demand, certificate or other document expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Letter of Credit Application. The Borrower hereby assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude
the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuers, any Agent-Related Person, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of any L/C Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.03(e); provided that anything in such clauses
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against an L/C Issuer, and such L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by such L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or such L/C Issuer’s willful or grossly negligent failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by the beneficiary
of a draft, demand, certificate or other document strictly complying with the terms and conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each L/C Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and no L/C Issuer shall be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign
a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

 

(g) Cash Collateral. (i) If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, as applicable, require the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to Section 8.02(c) or (ii) an Event of Default set forth
under Section 8.01(f) occurs and is continuing, then the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to such Outstanding Amount determined as of the date of such Event of Default), and shall do so not later than 2:00 p.m. on (x) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (i), (1) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice thereof, if such notice is received on such day prior to 12:00 Noon, or (2) if clause (1) above
does not apply, the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice and (y) in the case of the immediately preceding clause (ii), the Business Day on which an Event of Default set forth under Section 8.01(f) occurs or, if such day is not a Business Day, the Business Day immediately succeeding such day. For purposes hereof, “Cash Collateralize” means to pledge and deposit with or deliver to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the relevant L/C Issuer and the Lenders, as collateral for the L/C Obligations, cash or deposit account balances (“Cash Collateral”) pursuant to documentation in form and

 

-69-

 

substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the relevant L/C Issuer (which documents are hereby consented to by the Lenders). Derivatives of such term have corresponding meanings. The Borrower hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the L/C Issuers and the Lenders, a security interest in all such
cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein and all proceeds of the foregoing. Cash Collateral shall be maintained in blocked accounts at DBNY and may be invested in readily available Cash Equivalents. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that any funds held as Cash Collateral are subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) or that the total amount of such funds is less than the aggregate Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations,
the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the deposit accounts at DBNY as aforesaid, an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Outstanding Amount over (b) the total amount of funds, if any, then held as Cash Collateral that the Administrative Agent reasonably determines to be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on
deposit as Cash Collateral, such funds shall be applied, to the extent permitted under applicable Law, to reimburse the relevant L/C Issuer. To the extent the amount of any Cash Collateral exceeds the then Outstanding Amount of such L/C Obligations and so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. To the extent any Event of Default giving rise to the requirement to Cash Collateralize any Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) is cured
or otherwise waived by the Required Lenders, then so long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all Cash Collateral pledged to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the Borrower.

 

(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Working Capital RC Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share a Letter of Credit fee for each Letter of Credit issued
pursuant to this Agreement equal to the remainder of (x) the Applicable Rate times the daily maximum amount then available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (determined without regard to whether any conditions to drawing could then be met) minus (y) the fronting fee paid to the relevant L/C Issuer for each such Letter of Credit for the relevant period pursuant to Section 2.03(i). Such Letter of Credit fees shall be computed
on a quarterly basis in arrears. Such Letter of Credit fees shall be due and payable in Dollars on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily maximum amount of each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately
for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

 

(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuers. The Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account a fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit issued by it equal to 0.125% per annum of the daily maximum amount then available
to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (determined without regard to whether any conditions to drawing could then be met). Such fronting fees shall be (x) computed on a quarterly basis in arrears and (y) due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and

 

-70-

 

thereafter on demand. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly to each L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of such L/C Issuer relating to letters of credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and
charges are due and payable within ten (10) Business Days of demand and are nonrefundable.

 

(j) Conflict with Letter of Credit Application. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of any Letter of Credit Application, the terms hereof shall control.

 

(k) Addition of an L/C Issuer. A Working Capital RC Lender may become an additional L/C Issuer hereunder pursuant to a written agreement among the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Working Capital RC Lender. The Administrative Agent shall notify the Working Capital RC Lenders
of any such additional L/C Issuer.

 

Section 2.04. Swing Line Loans. (a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Swing
Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day (other than the Closing Date) until the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing Line Loans, when aggregated with the Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of Working Capital RC Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender
acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment; provided that (i) after giving effect to any Swing Line Loan, the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Working Capital RC Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of
all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Working Capital RC Commitment then in effect and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Swing Line Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Line Loans at a time when a Working Capital RC Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless
the Swing Line Lender has entered into arrangements reasonably satisfactory to it and the Borrower to eliminate the Swing Line Lender’s risk with respect to the Defaulting Lender’s participation in such Swing Line Loans, including by cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding amount of Swing Line Loans; provided further that, the
Borrower shall not use the proceeds of any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.04, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.04. Each Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Swing Line Loans shall only be denominated in Dollars. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each Working Capital RC Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.

 

(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall

 

-71-

 

specify (i) the amount to be borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written
Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender
has received notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any Working Capital RC Lender) prior to 2:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.04(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, then, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 3:00 p.m. on the borrowing date specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the Borrower.

 

(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans. (i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole and absolute discretion may request, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Working Capital RC Lender make
a Base Rate Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing (which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized
portion of the aggregate Working Capital RC Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Working Capital RC Lender shall make an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount specified in such Committed Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in
Same Day Funds for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 p.m. on the day specified in such Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.04(c)(ii), each Working Capital RC Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a Working Capital RC Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.04(c)(i), the request for Base Rate Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Working Capital RC Lenders fund
its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Working Capital RC Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such participation.

 

(iii) If any Working Capital RC Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid

 

-72-

 

by such Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in Section 2.04(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

 

(iv) Each Working Capital RC Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital RC Loans or to purchase and fund risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or
other right which such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that each Working Capital RC Lender’s obligation to make Working Capital RC Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c) is subject to the conditions
set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.

 

(d) Repayment of Participations. (i) At any time after any Working Capital RC Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such
Lender its Pro Rata Share of such payment (appropriately adjusted, in the case of interest payments, to reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s risk participation was funded) in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line Lender.

 

(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion), each Working Capital
RC Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Working Capital RC Lender funds its Base Rate Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.04 to refinance
such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such Pro Rata Share shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.

 

(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.

 

-73-

 

Section 2.05. Pre-Funded RC Deposits. (a) On the Closing Date and subject to the satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article IV, each Pre-Funded RC Lender on such date shall pay to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s
Pre-Funded RC Deposit. The Pre-Funded RC Deposits shall be held by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank in (or credited to) the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account and applied as necessary to fund Pre-Funded RC Borrowings, and no Person other than the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank shall have a right of withdrawal from the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account or any other right or power with respect to the Pre-Funded RC Deposits. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the funding obligation of each Pre-Funded RC Lender in
respect of its participation in Pre-Funded RC Borrowings shall be satisfied in full upon the funding of its Pre-Funded RC Deposit.

 

(b) Each of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Pre-Funded RC Lender hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) each Pre-Funded RC Lender is funding its Pre-Funded RC Deposit to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank for application in the manner contemplated by Section 2.01(c), (ii) the Pre-Funded RC Deposit
Bank may invest the Pre-Funded RC Deposits in such investments as may be determined from time to time by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank and (iii) the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank has agreed to pay to the Administrative Agent, who shall in turn pay to each Pre-Funded RC Lender, a return on its Pre-Funded RC Deposit (except (x) during periods when such Pre-Funded RC Deposits are used to fund Pre-Funded RC Loans or (y) as otherwise provided in Sections 2.05(d) and (f)) for each Pre-Funded RC Lender
equal at any time to the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits at such time less the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Cost Amount at such time. Such interest will be paid to the Pre-Funded RC Lenders by the Administrative Agent (solely from amounts received by it from the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank) at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits at such time (or at an amount determined in accordance with Section 2.05(d) or (f), as applicable)
less, in each case, the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time to time in arrears on each Pre-Funded RC Interest Payment Date.

 

(c) Neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any right, title or interest in or to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account or the Pre-Funded RC Deposits and no obligations with respect thereto (except to repay Pre-Funded RC Loans and all related Obligations, it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties hereto that the funding
of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits by the Pre-Funded RC Lenders to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank for deposit in the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account and the application of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits in the manner contemplated by Section 2.02(b) constitute agreements among the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, the Administrative Agent and each Pre-Funded RC Lender with respect to its participation in the Pre-Funded RC Loans and do not constitute any loan or extension of credit to the Borrower). Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that no amount on deposit at any time in the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account shall be the property of any Secured Party (other than the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank) or any of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. In addition, each Pre-Funded RC Lender hereby grants to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank a security interest in, and rights of offset against, its rights and interests in such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Deposit,
and investments thereof and proceeds of any of the foregoing, to secure the obligations of such Pre-Funded RC Lender hereunder. Each Pre-Funded RC Lender agrees that

 

-74-

 

its right, title and interest with respect to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account shall be limited to the right to require its Pre-Funded RC Deposit to be used as expressly set forth herein and that it will have no right to require the return of its Pre-Funded RC Deposit other than as expressly provided herein (each Pre-Funded RC Lender hereby
acknowledges that its Pre-Funded RC Deposit constitutes payment for its obligations under Sections 2.01(c) and 2.02(b) and that the Administrative Agent (on behalf of the respective Pre-Funded RC Lender) will be advancing Pre-Funded RC Loans to the Borrower in reliance on the availability of such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Deposit to discharge such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s obligations in respect thereof).

 

(d) If the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank is not offering Dollar deposits (in the applicable amounts) in the applicable eurodollar interbank market, or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank determines that adequate and fair means do not otherwise exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits (or any part thereof), then the Pre-Funded
RC Deposits (or such parts, as applicable) shall be invested so as to earn a return equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

 

(e) The Borrower shall have the right to elect the Interest Period to be applicable to the Pre-Funded RC Deposits from time to time, which Interest Period shall, at the option of the Borrower, be a one, two or three month period, provided that (in each case):

 

(i) the Pre-Funded RC Deposits shall at all times have the same Interest Period;

 

(ii) the initial Interest Period for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits shall commence on the Closing Date and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable thereto expires, provided that
(x) if any Interest Period for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits begins on a day for which there is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month, and (y) if any Interest Period for the Pre-Funded Deposits would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding Business Day, although if any Interest Period for the Pre-Funded
Deposits would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day; and

 

(iii) until the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of a change in the Interest Period as provided below, each Interest Period for the Pre-Funded Deposits shall be a period of one month.

 

The Borrower shall have the right to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to the Pre-Funded Deposits so long as the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent of such election in writing by 12:30 p.m. on the third Business Day prior to the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect for the Pre-Funded Deposits; provided, however,
if the Borrower has failed to so notify the Administrative Agent of such Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected an Interest Period of one month effective as of the expiration of such current Interest Period.

 

-75-

 

(f) If any Pre-Funded RC Loan is repaid on a day other than on the last day of an Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date applicable to the Pre-Funded RC Deposits, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt thereof, pay over such amounts to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank which will invest the amount so reimbursed in overnight
or short-term cash equivalent investments until the end of the Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date at the time in effect and the Borrower shall pay to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, upon the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank’s request therefor, the amount, if any, by which the interest accrued on a like amount of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits at the LIBOR Rate for the Interest Period in effect therefor shall exceed the interest earned through the investment of the amount so reimbursed for the
period from the date of such repayment or reimbursement through the end of the applicable Interest Period, as determined by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank (such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all parties hereto) and set forth in the request for payment delivered to the Borrower. In the event that the Borrower shall fail to pay any amount due under this Section 2.05(f), the interest payable by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank to the Pre-Funded RC Lenders on
their Pre-Funded RC Deposits under Section 2.05(b) shall be correspondingly reduced and the Pre-Funded RC Lenders shall without further act succeed, ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, to the rights of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank with respect to such amount due from the Borrower. All repayments of Pre-Funded RC Loans that have been funded by the Pre-Funded RC Lenders from the Pre-Funded RC Deposits, in each case received by
the Administrative Agent prior to the termination of the aggregate Pre-Funded RC Commitment, shall be paid over to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank which will deposit same in the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account.

 

(g) (i) If the Administrative Agent and/or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank is enjoined from taking any action referred to in this Section 2.05 and/or in Section 2.01(c) or 2.02(b) (in each case in respect of a Pre-Funded RC Loan), or if the Administrative Agent and/or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank reasonably determines that, by
operation of law, it may reasonably be precluded from taking any such action, or if any Loan Party or Pre-Funded RC Lender challenges in any legal proceeding any of the acknowledgments, agreements or characterizations set forth in any of this Section 2.05 and/or in Section 2.01(c) or 2.02(b) (in each case in respect of Pre-Funded RC Loans), then, in any such case (and so long as such event or condition shall be continuing), and notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to advance any Pre-Funded RC Loan on behalf of the affected Pre-Funded RC Lender or Pre-Funded RC Lenders.

 

(ii) In the event any payment of a Pre-Funded RC Loan shall be required to be refunded to the Borrower after the return of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits to the Pre-Funded RC Lenders as permitted hereunder, each Pre-Funded RC Lender agrees to acquire and fund a participation in such refunded amount equal to the lesser of its applicable Pro
Rata Share thereof and the amount of its Pre-Funded RC Deposit that shall have been so returned. The obligations of the Pre-Funded RC Lenders under this clause (ii) shall survive the payment in full of the Pre-Funded RC Deposits and the termination of this Agreement.

 

-76-

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, following the repayment by the Borrower of any Pre-Funded RC Loan, in no event shall the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank be required to return to any Pre-Funded RC Lender any proceeds of such Pre-Funded RC Lender’s Pre-Funded RC Deposit prior to the 90th day following
such repayment unless the respective Pre-Funded RC Lender shall have sufficiently indemnified the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank (in the sole discretion of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank) for any losses the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank may incur as a result of preference claims brought by any creditor of the Borrower with respect to the proceeds of such repayment.

 

Section 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. (i) Except as otherwise provided below in this Section 2.06(a), the Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily
prepay Term Loans, Working Capital RC Loans and Pre-Funded RC Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:30 p.m. (A) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans; (2) any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be in a principal
amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; and (3) any prepayment of Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding; and provided further, however, that, unless all Pre-Funded RC Loans are to be repaid in full and all Pre-Funded RC Commitments are to be terminated at the time
of such prepayment, voluntary prepayments of Pre-Funded RC Loans only may be made with cash proceeds actually received by the Borrower after the Closing Date (including through capital contributions received from Holdings) from a Permitted Equity Issuance by Holdings or the Borrower. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment, the Class(es) and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and (i) in the case of a prepayment of Term Loans, the manner in which the Borrower elects to have such
prepayment applied to the remaining repayments thereof; provided that in the event such notice fails to specify the manner in which the respective prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.08(a), such prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.08(a), and (ii) in the case of a partial prepayment of Pre-Funded
RC Loans, a certification that such prepayment is being made with new cash equity proceeds as provided above in this Section 2.06(a). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Each prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(a) shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.

 

(ii) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (1) such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment, and (2) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of

 

-77-

 

$100,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and
payable on the date specified therein.

 

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any notice of prepayment under Section 2.06(a)(i) or 2.06(a)(ii) if such prepayment would have resulted from a refinancing in total of a Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or shall otherwise be delayed.

 

(b) Mandatory. (i) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid Term Loans in
an aggregate principal amount equal to (A) 50% of Excess Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year (or, in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2007) covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007) minus (B) the sum of (without duplication) (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans
during such fiscal year, (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Working Capital RC Loans during such fiscal year to the extent the Working Capital RC Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments, and (iii) all mandatory prepayments of Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(iv) in respect of such fiscal year, but in the case of each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to the extent such prepayments are not funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness; provided that
(x) the percentage of Excess Cash Flow specified in clause (A) above shall instead be 25% if the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 5.25:1.00 but greater than 4.00:1.00 and (y) no payment of any Term Loans shall be required under this Section 2.06(b)(i) if the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year covered by such financial statements was less than or equal to 4.00:1.00.

 

(ii) (A) If (x) Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary Disposes of any property or assets (other than any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d) (to the extent constituting a Disposition by any Restricted Subsidiary to a Loan Party), (e), (g), (h), (i), (j) or (n) or
(y) any Casualty Event occurs, which in the aggregate results in the realization or receipt by Holdings, the Borrower or such Restricted Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid on or prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received; provided that
no such prepayment shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(ii) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in accordance with Section 2.06(b)(ii)(B) (which notice may only be provided if no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing);

 

(B) With respect to any Net Cash Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition (other than any Disposition specifically excluded from the application of

 

-78-

 

Section 2.06(b)(ii)(A)) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds in assets useful for its business or its Restricted Subsidiaries within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into
a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve (12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (a) one hundred and eighty (180) days following the date of such legally binding commitment and (b) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that (i) so long as an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower (x) shall not
be permitted to make any such reinvestments (other than pursuant to a legally binding commitment that the Borrower entered into at a time when no Event of Default is continuing) and (y) shall not be required to apply such Net Cash Proceeds which have been previously applied to prepay Working Capital RC Loans to the prepayment of Term Loans until such time as the relevant investment period has expired and no Event of Default is continuing and (ii) if any Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be
or cannot be so reinvested (whether because the applicable reinvestment period has expired or otherwise) at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, an amount equal to any such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.06.

 

(iii) If Holdings, the Borrower or any Restricted Subsidiary incurs or issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to any clause of Section 7.03 (other than clause (t) of said Section), the Borrower shall cause to be prepaid Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of all Net
Cash Proceeds received therefrom on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds.

 

(iv) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall, to the extent that the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of the last day of the fiscal year covered by such financial
statements was equal to or greater than 5.25:1.00, cause to be prepaid Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount equal to the remainder of (A) the lesser of (x) (i) in the case of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, $50,000,000 and (ii) in the case of each fiscal year ending thereafter, $75,000,000 and (y) 100% of Minimum Free Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year (or, in the case of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, for the period commencing on the Closing Date
and ending on December 31, 2007) covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007) minus (B) the sum of (i) all voluntary prepayments of Term Loans during such fiscal year (except to the extent funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness), (ii) all voluntary prepayments of Working Capital RC Loans during such fiscal year (except to the extent funded with the proceeds of Indebtedness)
to the extent the Working Capital RC Commitments are permanently reduced by the amount of such payments and (iii) all repayments or payments of Term Loans during such fiscal year pursuant to Section 2.08(a).

 

(v) Within five (5) Business Days after financial statements have been delivered pursuant to Section 6.01(a) and the related Compliance Certificate has been delivered

 

-79-

 

pursuant to Section 6.02(b), the Borrower shall cause an amount equal to 100% of True Cash Flow, if any, for the fiscal year (or, in the case of the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, for the period commencing on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2007) covered by such financial statements (commencing with the fiscal
year ending December 31, 2007) to be applied (i) first, to repay principal of outstanding Pre-Funded RC Loans and (ii) second, to the extent in excess of the amount required to be applied pursuant to preceding clause (i), to be delivered to the Administrative Agent for deposit by the Administrative Agent into the Capital Expenditures Account, provided that
the maximum amount required to be so delivered to the Administrative Agent and deposited into the Capital Expenditures Account in respect of any fiscal year shall not exceed the remainder of (A) $100,000,000 minus (B) the aggregate amount of funds then on deposit in (or credited to) the Capital Expenditures Account. Amounts repaid or prepaid in respect of Pre-Funded RC Loans or deposited in the Capital Expenditures Account, in each case
pursuant to this Section 2.08(b)(v), may be redrawn or reborrowed, as applicable, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(vi) If for any reason the aggregate Working Capital RC Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate Working Capital RC Commitments then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Working Capital RC Loans and Swing Line Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such
excess; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this Section 2.06(b)(vi) unless after the prepayment in full of the Working Capital RC Loans and Swing Line Loans, such aggregate Outstanding Amount exceeds the aggregate Working Capital RC Commitments then in effect.

 

(vii) If for any reason the aggregate Pre-Funded RC Exposures at any time exceeds the aggregate Pre-Funded RC Commitment then in effect, the Borrower shall promptly prepay or cause to be promptly prepaid Pre-Funded RC Loans in an aggregate amount equal to such excess.

 

(viii) Each prepayment of Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be applied in direct order of maturity to repayments thereof required pursuant to Section 2.08(a) and shall be paid to the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares,
subject to clause (ix) of this Section 2.06(b) in respect of Term Loans. Any prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon.

 

(ix) The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of (x) any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 2.06(b) and (y) any mandatory prepayment of Pre-Funded RC Loans and/or mandatory deposit into the Capital Expenditures Account pursuant
to clause (v) of this Section 2.06(b), in each case at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any such prepayment or deposit. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and/or deposit, as applicable, and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment and/or deposit. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Appropriate Lender of the contents of the Borrower’s prepayment notice and of such Appropriate Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the prepayment. Each Appropriate Lender may reject all or a portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required to be made pursuant to clauses (i) through

 

-80-

 

(iii) of this Section 2.06(b) by providing written notice (each, a “Rejection Notice”) to the Administrative Agent no later than 5:00 p.m. one Business Day after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment.
Each Rejection Notice from a given Lender shall specify the principal amount of the mandatory repayment of Term Loans to be rejected by such Lender (such amounts so rejected, “Rejected Amounts”). If a Lender fails to deliver a Rejection Notice to the Administrative Agent within the time frame specified above or such Rejection Notice fails to specify the principal amount of the Term Loans to be rejected, any such failure will be deemed
an acceptance of the total amount of such mandatory repayment of Term Loans. In the event a Lender rejects all or any portion of its Pro Rata Share of any mandatory prepayment of Term Loans required pursuant to clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 2.06(b), the rejected portion of such Lender’s Pro Rata share of such prepayment shall be retained by the Borrower
(such Rejected Amounts, the “Borrower Retained Prepayment Amounts”).

 

(c) Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.06 shall be made together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurocurrency Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurocurrency Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 3.05(a). Notwithstanding any of the other provisions of this Section 2.06(b), so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if any prepayment of Eurocurrency Rate Loans is required to be made under this Section 2.06(b) (but excluding prepayments required under clauses (vi) or (vii) of this Section 2.06(b)), prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, in lieu of making any payment pursuant to this Section 2.06(b) in respect
of any such Eurocurrency Rate Loan prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor, the Borrower may, in its sole discretion, deposit the amount of any such prepayment otherwise required to be made thereunder into a Cash Collateral Account until the last day of such Interest Period, at which time the Administrative Agent shall be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of such Loans in accordance with this
Section 2.06(b). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall also be authorized (without any further action by or notice to or from the Borrower or any other Loan Party) to apply such amount to the prepayment of the outstanding Loans in accordance with this Section 2.06(b).

 

Section 2.07. Termination or Reduction of Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate the unused Commitments of any Class, or from time to time permanently
reduce the unused Commitments of any Class; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (iii) if, after giving effect to any reduction of the Working Capital RC Commitments, the Letter
of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount of the Working Capital RC Facility, such sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of such excess. The amount of any such Working Capital RC Commitment reduction shall not be applied to the Letter of Credit Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit unless otherwise specified by the Borrower. At the time of any termination or reduction of the Pre-Funded RC Commitments, the Administrative Agent shall request the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank to
(and the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank agrees that it will promptly) withdraw from the Pre-Funded RC Deposit

 

-81-

 

Account and to pay same over to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall return to the Pre-Funded RC Lenders (ratably in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares) their Pre-Funded RC Deposits in an aggregate amount equal to such reduction or the amount
of such Pre-Funded RC Commitment being terminated, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any notice of termination of the Commitments if such termination would have resulted from a refinancing in total of a Facility, which refinancing shall not be consummated or otherwise shall be delayed.

 

(b) Mandatory. The Term Commitment of each Term Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Term Lender’s Term Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a).

 

(c) Application of Commitment Reductions; Payment of Fees. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any termination or reduction of unused portions of the Letter of Credit Sublimit, the Swing Line Sublimit or the unused Commitments of any Class under this Section 2.07.
Upon any reduction of unused Commitments of any Class, the Commitment of each Lender of such Class shall be reduced by such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount by which such Commitments are reduced (other than the termination of the Commitment of any Lender as provided in Section 3.07). All commitment fees accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 

Section 2.08. Repayment of Loans. (a) Term Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Term Lenders (i) on the last Business Day of each March, June, September
and December, commencing with the last Business Day of September, 2007, an aggregate amount equal to 0.25% of the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on the Closing Date (which payments shall be reduced as a result of the application of prepayments in accordance with the order of priority set forth in Section 2.06) and (ii) on the Maturity Date for the Term Loans, the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding on such date.

 

(b) Working Capital RC Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility the aggregate principal amount of all of its Working Capital RC Loans outstanding on such date.

 

(c) Swing Line Loans. The Borrower shall repay its Swing Line Loans on the earlier to occur of (i) the date five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility.

 

(d) Pre-Funded RC Loans. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Appropriate Lenders on the Maturity Date for the Pre-Funded RC Facility the aggregate principal amount of all of its Pre-Funded RC Loans outstanding on such date.

 

Section 2.09. Interest. (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.09(b), (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each

 

-82-

 

Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Eurocurrency Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate; (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate; and (iii) each Swing Line Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable Borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate for Working Capital RC Loans.

 

(b) The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

 

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

 

(d) All computations of interest hereunder shall be made in accordance with Section 2.11.

 

Section 2.10. Fees. In addition to certain fees described in Sections 2.03(h) and (i):

 

(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Working Capital RC Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, a commitment fee equal to the Applicable Rate with respect
to commitment fees times the actual daily amount by which the aggregate Working Capital RC Commitment exceeds the sum of (A) Outstanding Amount of Working Capital RC Loans and (B) the Outstanding Amount of L/C Obligations; provided that any commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Working Capital RC Commitments of a Defaulting Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such
time shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to the extent that such commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the Borrower prior to such time; and provided, further, that no commitment fee shall accrue on any of the Working Capital RC Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting
Lender. The commitment fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof until the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Maturity Date for the Working Capital RC Facility. The commitment fee shall be calculated
quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in effect.

 

(b) Pre-Funded RC Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for account of each Pre-Funded RC Lender in accordance with its Pro Rata

 

-83-

 

Share, a facility fee equal to the sum of (I) the Applicable Rate with respect to Pre-Funded RC Loans maintained as Eurocurrency Rate Loans times the actually daily aggregate amount of the unapplied Pre-Funded RC Deposits from time to time plus (II) a rate per annum equal to the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Cost Amount as in effect from time
to time multiplied by the actual daily aggregate amount of the unapplied Pre-Funded RC Deposits from time to time. The facility fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof until the Maturity Date for the Pre-Funded RC Facility, including at any time during which one or more of the conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date,
and on the Maturity Date for the Pre-Funded RC Facility. The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears.

 

(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed
between the Borrower and the applicable Agent).

 

Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans when the Base Rate is determined by DBNY’s “prime rate” shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty-five (365) days (or three hundred
and sixty six (366) days, as the case may be) and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the
same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one (1) day. In computing interest on any Loan, the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted
to a Eurocurrency Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

Section 2.12. Evidence of Indebtedness. (a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting
solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon.
Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest

 

-84-

 

error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse
thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

 

(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in Section 2.12(a), each Lender and the Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records and, in the case of the Administrative Agent, entries in the Register, evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters
of Credit and Swing Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.

 

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Sections 2.12(a) and (b), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and
payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error; provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 2.13. Payments Generally. (a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall
be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of
such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

 

(b) If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be; provided that, if such
extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Loans to be made in the next succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day.

 

(c) Unless the Borrower or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative Agent hereunder, that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, will not make such payment, the

 

-85-

 

Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower or such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same
Day Funds, then:

 

(i) if the Borrower failed to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the Administrative
Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

 

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower to the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative
Agent (the “Compensation Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. When such Lender makes payment to the Administrative Agent (together with all accrued interest thereon), then such payment amount (excluding the amount of any interest which may have accrued and been paid in respect of such late payment) shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable Borrowing.
If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights
which the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this Section 2.13(c) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

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

 

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to fund any such participation on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on
such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its participation.

 

-86-

 

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

 

(g) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the
Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.04. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of the Lenders in accordance
with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the sum of (a) the Outstanding Amount of all Loans outstanding at such time and (b) the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations outstanding at such time, in repayment or prepayment of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender.

 

Section 2.14. Sharing of Payments. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans held by it, any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them and/or such subparticipations in the participations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans held by them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment
in respect of such Loans or such participations, as the case may be, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into
by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect
of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive
and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this Section 2.14 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing
Lender were the original owner of the Obligations purchased.

ARTICLE III

 

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality

 

Section 3.01. Taxes. (a) Except as provided in this Section 3.01, any and all payments by the Borrower (the term Borrower under this Article III being deemed to include any Subsidiary for whose account a Letter of Credit is issued) to or for the account of any
Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by its net income or net profits (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed
on it in lieu of net income taxes, by the jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) under the Laws of which such Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, is organized or maintains a Lending Office, (ii) taxes imposed on a Lender or Agent solely by reason of any connection between the Lender or Agent and the respective taxing jurisdiction other than by entering into any Loan Document and receiving payments thereunder, and (iii) all liabilities (including additions to tax, penalties and interest)
with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) hereof (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by any Laws to deduct any Taxes or Other Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.01), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Laws, and (iv) within thirty
(30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty (30) days, as soon as possible thereafter), the Borrower shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt is issued therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due
to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify such Agent or Lender, as applicable, for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure.

 

(b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

 

(c) The Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender or such Agent becomes subject to Taxes subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement)
as a result of a change in

 

-88-

 

the place of organization of such Lender or Agent or a change in the lending office of such Lender, except to the extent that any such change is requested or required in writing by the Borrower (and provided that nothing in this clause (c) shall be construed as relieving
the Borrower from any obligation to make such payments or indemnification in the event of a change in lending office or place of organization that precedes a change in Law to the extent such Taxes result from a change in Law).

 

(d) Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, if a Lender or an Agent is subject to withholding tax imposed by any jurisdiction in which the Borrower is formed or organized at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender or such Agent, as the case may be, first becomes a party to this Agreement, withholding tax imposed
by such jurisdiction at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided that, if at the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender becomes a party to this Agreement,
the Lender assignor was entitled to payments under clause (a) of this Section 3.01 in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender assignee on such date.

 

(e) If any Lender or Agent determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund or overpayment credit in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which indemnification or additional amounts have been paid to it by the Loan Parties pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall promptly remit such refund or the amount of
such credit (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.01 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund (or such credit) plus any interest included in such refund by the relevant taxing authority attributable thereto) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant taxing authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the Lender or Agent, as the case may be, agrees promptly to return such refund (or such credit) to such party in the event such party is required to repay such refund (or such credit) to the relevant taxing authority. Such Lender or Agent, as the case may be, shall, at the Borrower’s request, provide the Borrower with
a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence of the requirement to repay such refund (or such credit) received from the relevant taxing authority (provided that such Lender or Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or Agent deems confidential). Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender or Agent to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender or Agent to claim
any tax refund or to make available its tax returns or disclose any information relating to its tax affairs or any computations in respect thereof or require any Lender or Agent to do anything that would prejudice its ability to benefit from any other refunds, credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

 

(f) Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.01(a) with respect to such Lender it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to such Lender’s overall internal policies of general application and legal and regulatory restrictions) to
designate another Lending Office for any

 

-89-

 

Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts are made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further,
that nothing in this Section 3.01(f) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a).

 

(g) The Administrative Agent may deduct and withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents.

 

Section 3.02. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the Eurocurrency Rate, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurocurrency Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall upon demand from such Lender
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurocurrency Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans to such day, or promptly, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurocurrency Rate Loans. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted and all
amounts due, if any, in connection with such prepayment or conversion under Section 3.05(a). Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

 

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

 

Section 3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurocurrency Rate Loans. (a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any Law, in each case after the date hereof, or
such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in the cost to such Lender of agreeing

 

-90-

 

to make or making, funding or maintaining Eurocurrency Rate Loans or (as the case may be) issuing or participating in Letters of Credit, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this Section 3.04(a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount
resulting from (i) Taxes or Other Taxes as to which Section 3.01 shall govern, (ii) changes in taxation of overall net income or overall gross income (including branch profits), and franchise (and similar) taxes imposed in lieu of net income taxes, by the United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or maintains a Lending Office and (iii) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c), then
from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

 

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction of any Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein or in the interpretation thereof, in each case after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent given in accordance with Section 3.06), the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts
as will compensate such Lender for such reduction within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such demand.

 

(c) The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated
to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards,
if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have received at least fifteen (15) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or cost from such
Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest or cost shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of such notice.

 

(d) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation except to the extent set forth in the first sentence of Section 3.06(b).

 

-91-

 

(e) If any Lender requests compensation under this Section 3.04, then such Lender will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office for any Loan or Letter of Credit affected by such event; provided that such efforts
are made on terms that, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.04(e) shall affect or postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.04(a), (b), (c) or
(d).

 

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

 

(i) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

 

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

 

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained.

 

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

 

(b) Upon demand of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, the Borrower shall promptly compensate the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank and hold the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank as a result:

 

(x) any withdrawals from the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account pursuant to the terms of this Agreement prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period or Scheduled Investment Termination Date for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits; or

 

(y) the termination or reduction of any of the Pre-Funded RC Commitments (and the related termination of the investment of the funds held in the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Account) prior to the end of any applicable Interest Period or Schedule Investment Termination Date for the Pre-Funded RC Deposits.

 

Section 3.06. Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. (a) Any Agent, any Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank claiming compensation under this

 

-92-

 

Article III shall deliver a certificate to the Borrower setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder which shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

 

(b) With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that,
if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another Eurocurrency Rate Loans, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans,
until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested.

 

(c) If the obligation of any Lender to make or continue from one Interest Period to another any Eurocurrency Rate Loan, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 3.06(b) hereof, such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be automatically converted into Base Rate Loans on
the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for such Eurocurrency Rate Loans (or, in the case of an immediate conversion required by Section 3.02, on such earlier date as required by Law) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to such conversion no longer exist:

 

(i) to the extent that such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans have been so converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(ii) all Loans that would otherwise be made or continued from one Interest Period to another by such Lender as Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall be made or continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be converted into Eurocurrency Rate Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

 

(d) If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.01, 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurocurrency Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.06 no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly
upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurocurrency Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurocurrency Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurocurrency Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as
to principal amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.

 

-93-

 

Section 3.07. Replacement of Lenders under Certain Circumstances. (a) If at any time (i) the Borrower becomes obligated to pay additional amounts or indemnity payments described in Section 3.01 or 3.04 as a result of any condition described in such Sections
or any Lender ceases to make Eurocurrency Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or Section 3.04, (ii) any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or (iii) any Lender becomes a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, on five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and such Lender, replace such Lender by causing such Lender to (and such Lender shall be obligated to) assign pursuant to Section 10.07(b) (with the assignment
fee to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to one or more Eligible Assignees; provided that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to the Borrower to find a replacement Lender or other such Person; and provided, further, that
(A) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments and (B) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable Eligible Assignees shall have agreed to the applicable departure, waiver or amendment of the Loan Documents.

 

(b) Any Lender being replaced pursuant to Section 3.07(a) above shall (i) execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative
Agent. Pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, (A) the assignee Lender shall acquire all or a portion, as the case may be, of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans and participations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans, (B) all obligations of the Borrower owing to the assigning Lender relating to the Loans and participations so assigned shall be paid in full by the assignee Lender to such assigning Lender concurrently with such assignment and assumption and (C) upon
such payment and, if so requested by the assignee Lender, delivery to the assignee Lender of the appropriate Note or Notes executed by the Borrower, the assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender. Without the consent of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank,
the Pre-Funded RC Deposit funded by any Pre-Funded RC Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment of its Pre-Funded RC Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (if not already applied) pursuant to Section 2.05 in respect of such assignee’s obligations under the Pre-Funded RC Commitment assigned to it.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Lender that acts as an L/C Issuer may not be replaced hereunder at any time that it has any Letter of Credit outstanding hereunder unless arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer (including the furnishing of a back-up standby letter of credit in form and substance,
and issued by an issuer, reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer or the depositing of cash collateral into a cash collateral account in amounts and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to such L/C Issuer) have been made with respect to each such outstanding Letter of Credit and the Lender that acts as the Administrative Agent may not be replaced hereunder except in accordance with the terms of Section 9.09.

 

-94-

 

(d) In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of all affected Lenders in accordance with the terms
of Section 10.01 or all the Lenders with respect to a certain Class of the Loans and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent, waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”.

 

Section 3.08. Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

(i) the Capital Expenditures Account is fully utilized with a zero balance on such date and (ii) the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of such date is greater than or equal to 5.25:1.00, then the aggregate amount of Capital Expenditures permitted to be made by the Borrower and the Restricted Subsidiaries in the succeeding fiscal year pursuant to Sections 7.16(a)(i) and (c) shall be limited to $100,000,000 until the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which no Pre-Funded RC Loans are outstanding
and the amount on deposit in the Capital Expenditures Account is greater than zero and (y) the Rent Adjusted Leverage Ratio as of the last day of any Test Period thereafter is less than 5.25:1.00.

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;

 

(c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and

-145-

 

Section 8.03. Exclusion of Immaterial Subsidiaries. Solely for the purpose of determining whether a Default has occurred under clause (f) or (g) of Section 8.01, any reference in any such clause to any Restricted Subsidiary or Loan Party shall be deemed not
to include any Immaterial Subsidiary (it being agreed that all Immaterial Subsidiaries affected by any event or circumstance referred to in any such clause shall be considered together, as a single consolidated Immaterial Subsidiary, for purposes of determining whether the condition specified above is satisfied).

 

Section 8.04. Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth
in the proviso to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

 

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest, but including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04 and amounts payable under Article III) payable to each of the Administrative
Agent and the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such;

 

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees (other than commitment fees, letter of credit fees and facility fees), indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including Attorney Costs payable under Section 10.04
and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in proportion to the amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

 

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid commitment fees, letter of credit fees, facilities fees and interest on the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause
Third payable to them;

 

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans and L/C Borrowings, the termination value under Secured Hedge Obligations and the Cash Management Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the other Secured Parties in proportion
to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;

 

Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuers, to Cash Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit;

 

Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent
and the other Secured Parties on such date; and

 

-146-

 

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

 

Subject to Section 2.03(c), amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as Cash Collateral
after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above and, if no Obligations remain outstanding, to the Borrower.

 

Section 8.05. Borrower’s Right to Cure. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 8.01, (x) in the event of any Event of Default under any covenant set forth in Section 7.11 and until the expiration of the tenth (10th) day
after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to the applicable fiscal quarter hereunder, Holdings or the Borrower may engage in a Permitted Equity Issuance to any of the Equity Investors and apply the amount of the Net Cash Proceeds thereof to increase Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable quarter; provided that such Net Cash Proceeds (i) are actually received by the Borrower (including through capital contribution of such Net Cash Proceeds by Holdings
to the Borrower) no later than ten (10) days after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered with respect to such fiscal quarter hereunder and (ii) do not exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure such Event of Default under Section 7.11 for any applicable period, and (y) in the event of any Event of Default under Section 7.11(b) and until the expiration of the tenth (10th) day after the date on which financial statements are required to be delivered
with respect to the applicable fiscal year hereunder, the Borrower may direct the Administrative Agent to withdraw amounts from the Capital Expenditures Account solely to cure such Event of Default and the amount of such withdrawal shall be treated as the receipt of cash proceeds from a Permitted Equity Issuance by the Borrower with respect to such applicable fiscal year (and not as an increase to Consolidated EBITDA with respect to such applicable fiscal year); provided that (i) such withdrawal does not
exceed the aggregate amount necessary to cure such Event of Default under Section 7.11(b) for any applicable fiscal year and (ii) such funds are immediately applied to repay (and the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to repay) outstanding Term Loans. The parties hereby acknowledge that this Section 8.05(a) may not be relied on for purposes of calculating any financial ratios other than as applicable to Section 7.11 and shall not result in any adjustment to any amounts other
than the amount of the Consolidated EBITDA referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

 

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.05(a), in each period of four consecutive fiscal quarters, there shall be at least two (2) fiscal quarters in which no cure set forth in Section 8.05(a) is made.

Section 9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Agents. (a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such

 

-147-

 

action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document (which, for purposes of this Article IX, and for purposes of Sections 10.04 and 10.05, shall include the CMBS Intercreditor Agreement) and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall
be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only
an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

 

(b) Each L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and each such L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (i) provided to the Agents in this Article IX with respect
to any acts taken or omissions suffered by such L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by it or proposed to be issued by it and the applications and agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term “Agent” as used in this Article IX and in the definition of “Agent-Related Person” included such L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (ii) as additionally provided herein with respect to such L/C Issuer.

 

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders (in its capacities as a Lender, Swing Line Lender (if applicable), L/C Issuer (if applicable) and a potential Hedge Bank) hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or on trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral
agent” (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.02 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including, Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact
were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

(d) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank under this Agreement, and each of the Pre-Funded RC Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank for the purposes set forth in this Agreement. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “Pre-Funded
RC Deposit Bank”, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX (including, Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank” under this Agreement) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

 

-148-

 

Section 9.02. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents
or of exercising any rights and remedies thereunder) by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact, such sub-agents as shall be deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or sub-agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined
in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction).

 

Section 9.03. Liability of Agents. No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own
gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative
Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest created or purported to be created under the Collateral Documents, or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to
any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

Section 9.04. Reliance by Agents. (a) Each Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex
or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence
of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly
required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

 

-149-

 

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a
Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Closing Date specifying its objection thereto.

 

Section 9.05. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to any Event of Default as may be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article VIII; provided that
unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

 

Section 9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment
or review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation
into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents
and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.

 

-150-

 

Section 9.07. Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation
of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s
own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation
or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment
or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments,
the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 9.08. Agents in their Individual Capacities. DBNY and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Equity Interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting
or other business with each of the Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates as though DBNY were not the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Pre-funded RC Deposit Bank or an L/C Issuer hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, DBNY or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or
such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, DBNY shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank or an L/C Issuer, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include DBNY in its individual capacity.

 

Section 9.09. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as the Administrative Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among
the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall be consented to by the Borrower at all times other than during the existence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f) or (g) (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the

 

-151-

 

Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrower, a successor agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the term “Administrative Agent,” shall mean such successor administrative agent and/or supplemental administrative agent, as the case may be, and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as the Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following the retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint
a successor agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (a) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents
or (b) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges, and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as the Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX shall
continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Administrative Agent.

 

Section 9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative
Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including

of any Lender in any such proceeding.

(y) Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable and (z) contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) and the expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit (or upon cash collateralization of all Letters of Credit in a manner and pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent or receipt of backstop letters of credit, in form and substance and from a financial institution, reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent), (ii) at
the time the property subject to such Lien is transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any other Guarantor (whether as a Disposition or Investment), (iii) subject to Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, or (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release

its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11 In each case as specified in this Section 9.11, the Administrative Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or
to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11

 

Section 9.12. Other Agents; Arrangers and Managers. None of the Lenders or other Persons identified on the facing page or signature pages of this Agreement as a “syndication agent,” “documentation agent”, “joint bookrunner” or “arranger”

Section 9.13. Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. (a) It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations
to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary
in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and
collectively as “Supplemental Administrative Agents”).

 

(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect
to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall run to and be enforceable
by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental

 

-154-

 

Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article 9 and of Section 10.04 and 10.05 that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such
Supplemental Administrative Agent, as the context may require.

 

(c) Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower, Holdings or any other Loan Party be required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable, shall,
or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Administrative
Agent.

The foregoing costs and expenses shall include all reasonable

litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of the Indemnitee; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision.

indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated.

-160-

 

to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.

right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (other than to Disqualified Institutions) (“Assignees”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this Section 10.07(b), participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of:

 

(A) the Borrower, provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing, any Assignee;

 

(B) the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment (i) of all or any portion of a Term Loan or a Pre-Funded RC Loan to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or (ii) to an Agent or

-161-

 

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 

(A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans of any Class, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the
date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 (in the case of the Working Capital RC Facility), or $1,000,000 (in the case of the Pre-Funded RC Facility and in the case of a Term Loan) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default
under Section 8.01(a), (f) or (g) has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its Affiliates or Approved Funds, if any;

 

(B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, unless waived or reduced by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, provided that only one
such fee shall be payable in the event of simultaneous assignments from any Lender or its Approved Funds to one or more other Approved Funds; and

 

(C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

 

This paragraph (b) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.

 

(c) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.07(d), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have
the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this clause (c) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance
with Section 10.07(e). Without the consent of the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, the Pre-Funded RC Deposit funded by any Pre-Funded RC Lender shall not be released in connection with any assignment of its Pre-Funded RC Commitment, but shall instead be purchased by the relevant assignee and continue to be held for application (if not already applied) pursuant to Section 2.05 in respect of such assignee’s obligations under the Pre-Funded RC Commitment assigned to it.

 

-162-

 

(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related
interest amounts) of the Loans, L/C Obligations (specifying the Unreimbursed Amounts), L/C Borrowings and amounts due under Section 2.03, owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof
as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

 

(e) Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents,
the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that
such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that directly affects such Participant. Subject to Section 10.07(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.07(c)
but shall not be entitled to recover greater amounts under such Sections than the selling Lender would be entitled to recover. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as though it were a Lender.

 

(f) Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with Section 10.15 as though it were a Lender.

 

(g) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such

 

-163-

 

Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

 

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the
Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment
obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may
(i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500, assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC.

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (1) any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, in accordance with applicable Law create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it and (2) any Lender that is a Fund may, without
the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, create a security interest in all or any portion of the Loans owing to it and the Note, if any, held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities issued, by such Fund as security for such obligations or securities; provided that unless and until such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section 10.07, (i) no such
pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

 

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank may, upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as an L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, respectively; provided that
on or prior to the expiration of such 30-day period with respect to such resignation, the relevant L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank shall have identified a successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line

 

-164-

 

Lender or Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank reasonably acceptable to the Borrower willing to accept its appointment as successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, as applicable. In the event of any such resignation of an L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, the Borrower shall be entitled
to appoint from among the Lenders willing to accept such appointment a successor L/C Issuer, Swing Line Lender or Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank hereunder; provided that no failure by the Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of the relevant L/C Issuer, the Swing Line Lender or the Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, as the case may be, except as expressly provided above. If an L/C Issuer resigns as an L/C Issuer, it shall retain
all the rights and obligations of an L/C Issuer hereunder with respect to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as an L/C Issuer and all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section 2.03(c)). If the Swing Line Lender resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect
to Swing Line Loans made by it and outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the Lenders to make Base Rate Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.04(c).

 

Section 10.08. Confidentiality. Each of the Agents and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and its and its Affiliates’ directors, officers, employees, trustees,
investment advisors and agents, including accountants, legal counsel and other advisors (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) to the extent requested by any Governmental Authority; (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; (d) to any other party to this Agreement; (e) subject
to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 10.08 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to any pledgee referred to in Section 10.07(g), counterparty to a Swap Contract, Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective Eligible Assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement; (f) with the written consent of the Borrower; (g) to the extent such Information becomes publicly available
other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; (h) to any Governmental Authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any other similar organization) regulating any Lender or its Affiliates; or (i) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender). In
addition, the Agents and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry, and service providers to the Agents and the Lenders in connection with the administration and management of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Commitments and the Credit Extensions. For the purposes of this Section 10.08, “Information”
means all information received from any Loan Party relating to any Loan Party or its business, other than any such information that is publicly available to any Agent or any Lender prior to disclosure by any Loan Party other than as a result of a breach of this Section 10.08; provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential
or (ii) is delivered pursuant to Section 6.01, Section 6.02 or 6.03.

 

-165-

 

Section 10.09. Setoff. (a) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time
to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower (on its own behalf and on behalf of each Loan Party) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Agent, such Lender and/or such Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and
all Obligations owing to such Agent, such Lender and/or such Affiliates hereunder or under any other Loan Document, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Agent or such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. The rights of each Agent and each Lender under this Section 10.09 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Agent and such Lender may have.

 

(b) NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING SUBSECTION (a), AT ANY TIME THAT THE LOANS OR ANY OTHER OBLIGATION SHALL BE SECURED BY REAL PROPERTY LOCATED IN CALIFORNIA, NO LENDER OR AGENT SHALL EXERCISE A RIGHT OF SETOFF, LIEN OR COUNTERCLAIM OR TAKE ANY COURT OR ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION OR INSTITUTE ANY PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY NOTE UNLESS IT IS TAKEN WITH THE CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY Section 10.01 OF THIS AGREEMENT, ALL OF THE LENDERS, OR APPROVED IN WRITING BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, IF SUCH SETOFF OR ACTION OR PROCEEDING WOULD OR MIGHT (PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE SECTIONS 580a, 580b, 580d AND 726 OF THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE OR SECTION 2924 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, IF APPLICABLE, OR OTHERWISE) AFFECT OR IMPAIR THE VALIDITY, PRIORITY, OR ENFORCEABILITY
OF THE LIENS GRANTED TO THE COLLATERAL AGENT PURSUANT TO THE COLLATERAL DOCUMENTS OR THE ENFORCEABILITY OF THE NOTES AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, AND ANY ATTEMPTED EXERCISE BY ANY LENDER OR ANY AGENT OF ANY SUCH RIGHT WITHOUT OBTAINING SUCH CONSENT OF THE REQUIRED LENDERS OR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL BE NULL AND VOID. THIS SUBSECTION (b) SHALL BE SOLELY FOR THE BENEFIT OF EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT HEREUNDER.

 

Section 10.10. Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If any Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the

 

-166-

 

interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize,
prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 

Section 10.11. Counterparts. This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery by telecopier of an executed
counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement and such other Loan Document. The Agents may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by telecopier be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature
delivered by telecopier.

 

Section 10.12. Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersedes all prior agreements, written or oral, on such subject matter. In the
event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement shall control; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Agents or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

 

Section 10.13. Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery
hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by each Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by any Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied (other than Obligations under Secured Hedge
Agreements, Cash Management Obligations or contingent indemnification obligations, in any such case, not then due and payable) or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.

 

Section 10.14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be
affected or impaired thereby. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 10.15. Tax Forms. (a) Each Lender that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to complete

 

-167-

is a party that reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States or (iii) if the Lender is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code an accurate and complete original signed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, certifying that the Lender is not a United States person,
together with a statement certifying that such Lender is not a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, as appropriate. The Lender further agrees to complete and to deliver to the Borrower from time to time, so long as it is eligible to do so, two copies of any successor or additional form required by the Internal Revenue service or reasonably requested by the Borrower in order to secure an exemption from, or reduction in the rate of, U.S. withholding tax.

 

(b) (i) Each Foreign Lender, to the extent it does not act or ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any sums paid or payable to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents (for example, in the case of a typical participation by such Foreign Lender), shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
on the date when such Foreign Lender ceases to act for its own account with respect to any portion of any such sums paid or payable, and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (in either case, in the reasonable exercise of its discretion), (A) two duly signed completed copies of the forms or statements required to be provided by such Foreign Lender as set forth above, to establish the portion of any such sums paid or payable with respect to
which such Foreign Lender acts for its own account that is not subject to United States withholding tax, and (B) two duly signed completed copies of IRS Form W 8IMY (or any successor thereto), together with any information such Foreign Lender chooses to transmit with such form, and any other certificate or statement of exemption required under the Code, to establish that such Foreign Lender is not acting for its own account with respect to a portion of any such sums payable to such Foreign Lender.

 

(c) Each Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to deliver to the Borrower a duly completed and executed copy of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or successor form establishing that such U.S. Lender is a United States person that
is not subject to U.S. backup withholding tax.

 

(d) The Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount or any indemnity payment under Section 3.01 to (A) any Foreign Lender to the extent Taxes would not have been imposed but for the failure of such Foreign Lender to satisfy the provisions of Section 10.15(a) or (b) as applicable, or (B) any U.S. Lender
to the extent would not have been imposed but for the failure of such U.S. Lender to satisfy the provisions of Section 10.15(c); provided that (i) if such Lender shall have satisfied the requirement of Section 10.15(a), (b) or (c), as applicable, on the date such Lender became a Lender or ceased to act for its own account with respect to any payment under any of the Loan Documents, nothing in this Section 10.15 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to
Section 3.01 in the event that, as a result of any change in any applicable Law, treaty or governmental rule,

 

-168-

 

regulation or order, or any change in the interpretation, administration or application thereof, such Lender is no longer properly entitled to deliver forms, certificates or other evidence at a subsequent date establishing the fact that such Lender or other Person for the account of which such Lender receives any sums payable under any of
the Loan Documents is not subject to withholding or is subject to withholding at a reduced rate and (ii) nothing in this Section 10.15 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligation to pay any amounts pursuant to Section 3.01 in the event that the requirements of 10.15(a)(ii) have not been satisfied if the Borrower is entitled, under applicable Law, to rely on any applicable forms and statements required to be provided under this Section 10.15 by the Foreign Lender that does not act or has ceased
to act for its own account under any of the Loan Documents, including in the case of a typical participation.

 

Section 10.16. GOVERNING LAW. (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO ANY LOAN DOCUMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE

NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR OTHER DOCUMENT RELATED THERETO.

 

Section 10.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE

Guarantee

 

Section 2.01. Guarantee.  Each
Guarantor irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantees, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety, the due and punctual payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case, whether such Guaranteed Obligations are now existing or hereafter incurred under, arising out of or in connection with any Secured Credit Document, and whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise.  Each of the Guarantors further agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligations may be extended, increased or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to, or further assent from such Guarantor, and that such Guarantor will remain bound upon its guarantee notwithstanding any extension, increase or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.  Each of the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, the applicable Guaranteed Party or any other Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, and also waives, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, notice of acceptance of its guarantee and notice of protest for nonpayment.

 

Section 2.02. Guarantee of Payment.  Each of the Guarantors further agrees that its guarantee hereunder constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not of
collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to any security held for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in favor of any Guaranteed Party or any other Person.  The obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of the obligations of any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or
any other Guaranteed Party, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor whether or not action is brought against any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party and whether or not any other Guarantor, any other guarantor, the Borrower or any other Guaranteed party be joined in any such action or actions.  Any payment required to be made by a Guarantor hereunder may be required by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party on any number of occasions.

 

Section 2.03. No Limitations .  (a)Except
for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.13, but without prejudice to Section 2.04, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
of the Guaranteed Obligations, or otherwise.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly provided in Section 4.13, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of any Secured Credit Document or otherwise;
(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, any Secured Credit Document or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Guarantor under this Agreement; (iii) the release of any security held by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) the failure to perfect any security interest
in, or the release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured party; (vi) the lack of legal existence of the Borrower or any Guarantor or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by Borrower or any Guarantor for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, in any insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan party; or (vii)  any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk
of any Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations).  Each Guarantor expressly authorizes the applicable Secured Parties to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any
sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations all without affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder.

 

(b) Except for termination of a Guarantor’s obligations hereunder as expressly permitted in Section 4.13, but without prejudice to Section 2.04, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense
based on or arising out of any defense of the Borrower of any other Guaranteed Party or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations.  The Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties may in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents, at their election, foreclose
on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Guaranteed Obligations make any other accommodation with the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability
of any Guarantor hereunder except to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, as the case may be, or any security.

 

Section 2.04. Reinstatement .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, each of the Guarantors agrees that (i) its guarantee hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party or otherwise and (ii) the provisions of this Section 2.04 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 2.05. Agreement To Pay; Subrogation .  In furtherance of the foregoing and not in
limitation of any other right that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the applicable Secured
Parties in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation.  Upon payment by any Guarantor of any sums to the Administrative Agent as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Article III.

 

Section 2.06. Information .  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Borrower’s and each other Guaranteed Party’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured Parties will have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

ARTICLE III

 





 

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

 

Section 3.01. Indemnity and Subrogation.  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the Guarantors may have under applicable law (but subject
to Section 3.03), each Guaranteed Party agrees that in the event a payment shall be made by any Guarantor under this Agreement on account of any Guaranteed Obligation owed directly by such Guaranteed Party (i.e., other than any obligation arising under this Agreement), such Guaranteed Party shall indemnify such Guarantor for the full amount of such payment and such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Person to whom such payment shall have been made to the extent of such payment.

 

Section 3.02. Contribution and Subrogation.    At any time a payment by any Subsidiary Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is made under this
Agreement that shall not have been fully indemnified as provided in Section 3.01, the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Party against each other Subsidiary Party shall be determined as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, with the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Party to be revised and restated as of each date on which an unreimbursed payment (a “Relevant Payment”) is made on the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement.  At any time that a Relevant Payment
is made by a Subsidiary Party that results in the aggregate payments made by such Subsidiary Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Subsidiary Party’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Subsidiary Party shall have
a right of contribution against each other Subsidiary Party who has made payments in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Subsidiary Party’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Subsidiary Parties in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal
to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Subsidiary Party and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Subsidiary Parties multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Subsidiary Party.  A Subsidiary Party’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that all contribution rights of such Subsidiary
Party shall be subject to Section 3.03.  As used in this Section 3.02:  (i) each Subsidiary Party’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Party by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Subsidiary Parties; (ii) the “Adjusted Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Party shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Party and (y) zero;
and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Party shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Subsidiary Party’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under this Agreement or any guaranteed obligations arising under any guaranty of any Junior Financing) on such date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
above, any Subsidiary Party that is released from this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.13 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 3.02, and at the time of any such release, if the released Subsidiary Party had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount, same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Subsidiary Parties shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided
above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Subsidiary Parties.  Each of the Subsidiary Parties recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution.  In this connection, each Subsidiary Party has the right to waive its contribution right against any other Subsidiary Party to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Subsidiary Party would remain solvent, in
the determination of the Required Lenders.

 

Section 3.03. Subordination .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
all rights of the Guarantors under Sections 3.01 and 3.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured
Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.  No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Guarantor to make the payments required by Sections 3.01 and 3.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor with respect to its obligations hereunder,
and subject to Section 4.16, each Guarantor shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

 

ARTICLE IV

 





 

Miscellaneous

 

Section 4.01. Notices .  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise
expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.02. Waivers; Amendment .  (a)No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Secured Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right, remedy,
power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Secured Parties hereunder and under the other Secured Credit Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers or privileges that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 4.02, and then such waiver or consent
shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Administrative Agent
and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(c) Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges and affirms that it understands that to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations are secured by real property located in the State of California, such
Guarantor shall be liable for the full amount of the liability hereunder notwithstanding foreclosure on such real property by trustee sale or any other reason impairing such Guarantor’s or any Secured Party’s right to proceed against the Borrower or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

(d) Each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, all rights and benefits under Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.  Each
Guarantor hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, without limiting the generality of the foregoing or any other provision hereof, all rights and benefits which might otherwise be available to such Guarantor under Sections 2809, 2810, 2815, 2819, 2821, 2839, 2845, 2846, 2847, 2848, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433 of the California Civil Code.

 

(e) Each Guarantor waives its rights of subrogation and reimbursement and any other rights and defenses available to such Guarantor by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, of the
California Civil Code, including, without limitation, (1) any defenses such Guarantor may have to this Guaranty by reason of an election of remedies by the Secured Parties and (2) any rights or defenses such Guarantor may have by reason of protection afforded to the Borrower pursuant to the antideficiency or other laws of California limiting or discharging the Borrower’s indebtedness, including, without limitation, Section 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.  In
furtherance of such provisions, each Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies of the Secured Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure destroys such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against a Borrower by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.

 

(f) Each Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with full knowledge of its significance and consequences and that if any of such waivers are determined
to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waivers shall be effective only to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

Section 4.03.  Administrative Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification.  (a)The
parties hereto agree that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Secured Credit Documents, each Guarantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and
the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Credit Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing agreements or instruments contemplated hereby, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appeasable decision to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer, employee, counsel, agent, trustee, investment advisor or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.

 

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Guaranteed Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents.  The provisions of this Section
4.03 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 4.03
shall be payable within ten Business Days of written demand therefor.

 

Section 4.04. Successors and Assigns .  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Guarantor or the Administrative Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 4.05. Survival of Agreement.  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Guaranteed
Parties in the Secured Credit Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Secured Credit Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the relevant Secured Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of the relevant Secured Credit Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Secured Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or default under any other Secured Credit Document or any incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under any Secured Credit Document, and shall continue in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until this Agreement is terminated with respect to such Guarantor or such Guarantor is otherwise released from its obligations under this Agreement
in each case pursuant to Section 4.13.

 

Section 4.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement .  This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent and a counterpart
hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Administrative Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein (and any such assignment or
transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, restated, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.

 

Section 4.07. Severability .  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 4.08. Right of Set-Off .  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Guaranteed Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower and each other Guaranteed Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing
by, such Lender and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all Guaranteed Obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such Guaranteed Obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 4.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

 

Section 4.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process .  (a)This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

 

(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York
sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted
by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Administrative Agent, any L/C Issuer, any Lender or any other Secured Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document against any Guarantor, or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have
to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 4.09.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 4.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 4.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY 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 THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 4.10.

 

Section 4.11. Headings .  Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein
are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

Section 4.12. Obligations Absolute .  All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder and
all obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other Secured Hedge Agreement, any other agreement with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other amendment
or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any other Secured Hedge Agreement or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee guaranteeing all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations or (d) subject to the terms of Section 4.13, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations
or this Agreement.

 

Section 4.13. Termination or Release .  (a)Subject
to Section 2.04, this Agreement and the Guarantees made herein shall terminate with respect to all Guaranteed Obligations when all the outstanding Guaranteed Obligations (other than Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable (to the extent permitted by the terms thereof) and contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the
Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero (other than L/C Obligations that have been fully cash collateralized or supported by a backstop letter of credit in each case in an amount and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer) and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such
Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Restricted Subsidiary of the Borrower or becomes an Excluded Subsidiary; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.

 

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b), the Administrative Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Guarantor, at such Guarantor’s
expense, all documents that such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 4.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent.

 

(d) At any time that the Borrower desires that the Administrative Agent take any of the actions described in the immediately preceding clause (c), it shall, upon request of the Administrative
Agent, deliver to the Administrative Agent an officer’s certificate certifying that the release of the respective Subsidiary Party is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a) or (b).  The Administrative Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of any Subsidiary Party by it as permitted (or which the Administrative Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 4.13.

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Bank by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge
and agree that (i) the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be guaranteed pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long, the other Guaranteed Obligations are so guaranteed and (ii) any release of a Guarantor effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

 

Section 4.14. Additional Restricted Subsidiaries .  Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit
Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that were not in existence or not Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this Agreement as Subsidiary Parties upon becoming a Restricted Subsidiary.  Upon execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Guarantee Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as
a Subsidiary Party herein.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 4.15. Recourse .  This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Guarantor and
pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of such Guarantor contained herein, in the Loan Documents and the other Secured Credit Documents and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

 

Section 4.16. Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations .  Each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary
Party and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Agreement not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of any Debtor Relief Laws (including the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal or state law).  To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor that is a Subsidiary Party and each Secured Party (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement) hereby
irrevocably agrees that the Guaranteed Obligations owing by such Guarantor under this Agreement shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such Debtor Relief Laws (it being understood that it is the intention of the parties to this Agreement and the parties to any guaranty of any Junior Financing that is subordinated to the any of the Guaranteed Obligations, to the maximum extent permitted
under applicable laws, the liabilities in respect of the guarantees of such Junior Financing shall not be included for the foregoing purposes and that, if any reduction is required to the amount guaranteed by any Guarantor hereunder and with respect to such Junior Financing that its guarantee of amounts owing in respect of such Junior Financing shall first be reduced) and after giving effect to any rights to contribution and/or subrogation pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution and/or
subrogation among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors, result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor in respect of such amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance and the maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the Secured Credit Documents shall in no event exceed such amount..  Notwithstanding the provisions of the two preceding sentences, as between the Secured Parties and the holders of such Junior Financing, it is agreed (and the provisions of Junior
Financing Documentation shall so provide) that any diminution (whether pursuant to court decree or otherwise) of any Guarantor’s obligation to make any distribution or payment pursuant to this Agreement shall have no force or effect for purposes of the subordination provisions contained in such Junior Financing Documentation, and that any payments received in respect of a Guarantor’s obligations with respect to such Junior Financing shall be turned over to the holders of the “Senior Indebtedness”
(as defined in such Junior Financing Documentation) (or obligations which would have constituted Senior Indebtedness if same had not been reduced or disallowed) of such Guarantor (which Senior Indebtedness shall be calculated as if there were no diminution thereto pursuant to this Section 4.16 or for any other reason other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the respective obligations which would otherwise have constituted Senior Indebtedness) until all such Senior Indebtedness (or obligations which
would have constituted Senior Indebtedness if same had not been reduced or disallowed) has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash.

Subsidiaries of the Borrower identified therein and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as Administrative Agent.

 

A Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, each Lender from time to time party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent,

Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

B Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee Agreement referred to therein.

 

C  The Guarantors have entered into the Guarantee Agreement in order to induce (x) the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, (y) the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management Banks to provide Cash Management Services.  Section 4.14
of the Guarantee Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Subsidiary Parties under the Guarantee Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Party under the Guarantee
Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

 

Accordingly, the Administrative Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  In accordance with Section 4.14 of the Guarantee Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party and Guarantor under the Guarantee Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as a Subsidiary
Party and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Guarantee Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Guarantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Guarantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  Each reference to a “Guarantor” in the Guarantee Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The Guarantee Agreement is hereby incorporated
herein by reference.

 

Section 2.  The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 3.  This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement
shall become effective when the Administrative Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Administrative Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

 

Section 4.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Guarantee Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 5.  THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 6.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Guarantee Agreement
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 7.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 4.01 of the Guarantee Agreement.

 

Section 8.  The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent.

a lender or other financial counterparts), provided however, that the limitation set forth in clause (G) above shall not affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Grantor of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in any such Equity Interests to the extent that an otherwise applicable prohibition or restriction on such grant is rendered ineffective by any applicable law, including the New York UCC and provided further that the Proceeds from any such Equity Interests shall not be excluded from the
definition of Article 9 Collateral; (ii) (A) promissory notes and instruments evidencing indebtedness owned by a Grantor and listed opposite the name of such Grantor on Schedule II, and (B) any promissory notes and instruments evidencing indebtedness obtained in the future by such Grantor (the “Pledged Debt”); (iii) all other property that may be delivered to and held by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.01; (iv) subject to Section 2.06, all payments of principal or
interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, in exchange for or upon the conversion of, and all other Proceeds received in respect of, the securities referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above; (v) subject to Section 2.06, all rights and privileges of such Grantor with respect to the securities and other property referred to in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above; and (vi) all Proceeds of, and Security Entitlements
in, any of the foregoing (the items referred to in clauses (i) through (vi) above being collectively referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”).

this Section 2.02.

 

(b) Each Grantor will cause any Indebtedness for borrowed money having an aggregate principal amount that is in excess of $5,000,000 owed to such Grantor by any Person to be evidenced by a duly executed promissory note to be pledged

(e) each of the Grantors has the power and authority to pledge the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder in the manner hereby done or contemplated;

 

(f) no consent or approval of any Governmental Authority, any securities exchange or any other Person was or is necessary to the validity of the pledge effected hereby (other than such as have been obtained and are in full force and
effect);

 

(g) by virtue of the execution and delivery by the Grantors of this Agreement, when any Pledged Securities are delivered to the Collateral Agent in accordance with this Agreement, the Collateral Agent will obtain a legal, valid and first-priority
perfected lien upon and security interest in such Pledged Securities as security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, subject only to any Lien permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement; and

 

(h) the pledge effected hereby is effective to vest in the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, the rights of the Collateral Agent in the Pledged Collateral as set forth herein.

“security” within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC of the applicable jurisdiction unless a control agreement, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, has been executed and delivered by the relevant Grantor and the issuer of such interests to the Collateral Agent.

 

Section 2.05. Registration in Nominee Name; Denominations .  If an Event of Default shall

(ii) The Collateral Agent shall promptly (after reasonable advance notice) execute and deliver to each Grantor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor, all such proxies, powers of attorney and other instruments as such
Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to subparagraph (i) above.

Interests of the issuer of any Pledged Securities or received in exchange for Pledged Securities or any part thereof, or in redemption thereof, or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets to which such issuer may be a party or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral, and, if received by any Grantor, shall not be commingled by such Grantor with any of its other funds or property but shall be held separate and apart therefrom, shall be held in trust
for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the applicable Secured Parties and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06,
then all rights of any Grantor to dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor is authorized to receive pursuant to paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06 shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to receive and retain such dividends, interest, principal or other distributions.

to the provisions of this Section 2.06 shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith delivered to the Collateral Agent upon demand in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent).

After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, the Collateral Agent shall promptly repay to each Grantor (without interest) all dividends, interest, principal or other distributions that such Grantor would otherwise be permitted to retain pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(iii) of this Section 2.06
in the absence of an Event of Default and that remain in such account.

 

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the Collateral Agent shall have notified the Borrower of the suspension of the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06,
then all rights of any Grantor to exercise the voting and consensual rights and powers it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (a)(i) of this Section 2.06, and the obligations of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Collateral Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and consensual rights and powers; provided that,
unless otherwise directed by the Required Lenders, the Collateral Agent shall have the right from time to time following and during the continuance of an Event of Default to permit the Grantors to exercise such rights.  After all Events of Default have been cured or waived, each Grantor shall have the exclusive right to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers that such Grantor would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to the terms of paragraph (a)(i) above, and the obligations
of the Collateral Agent under paragraph (a)(ii) of this Section 2.06 shall be reinstated.

 

(d) Any notice given by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower suspending the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a) of this Section 2.06 (i) shall be given in writing, (ii) may be given with respect to one or more of the Grantors
at the same or different times and (iii) may suspend the rights of the Grantors under paragraph (a)(i) or paragraph (a)(iii) in part without suspending all such rights (as specified by the Collateral Agent in its sole and absolute discretion) and without waiving or otherwise affecting the Collateral Agent’s rights to give additional notices from time to time suspending other rights so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 2.06(a), (b) or (c), if a Bankruptcy Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to give any notice referred to in said Section in order to exercise any of its rights described in such Section, and the suspension of the rights of each of the Grantors under each such Section shall be automatic upon the occurrence of such Bankruptcy Event of Default.

 

Section 2.07. Collateral Agent Not a Partner or Limited Liability Company Member .  Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed to make the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party liable as a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Collateral Agent nor any other Secured Party by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the following sentence) shall have any of the duties, obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any partnership.  The parties hereto expressly
agree that, unless the Collateral Agent shall become the absolute owner of Pledged Equity consisting of a limited liability company interest or a partnership interest pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture among the Collateral Agent, any other Secured Party, any Grantor and/or any other Person.

Investment Property, Intellectual Property Collateral, Accounts, promissory notes, chattel paper, Permit or other such rights of a Grantor or give any other party the right to terminate its obligations or such Grantor’s rights under such contract, lease, instrument, franchise, permit, license or other document (whether expressly in such document or otherwise under applicable law) to the extent that such right is not restricted by the Credit Agreement, provided however,
that the limitation set forth in clause (E)above shall not affect, limit, restrict or impair the grant by a Grantor of a security interest pursuant to this Agreement in any such Collateral to the extent that an otherwise applicable prohibition or restriction on such grant is rendered ineffective by any applicable law, including the New York UCC and provided further that the Proceeds from any such contract, lease, instrument or other document shall not be excluded from the definition of Article 9 Collateral

(b) Each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties at any time and from time to time to file in any relevant jurisdiction any initial financing statements (including fixture filings)
with respect to the Article 9 Collateral or any part thereof and amendments thereto that (i) indicate the Collateral as all assets of such Grantor or words of similar effect as being of an equal or lesser scope or with greater detail, and (ii) contain the information required by Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code or the analogous legislation of each applicable jurisdiction for the filing of any financing statement or amendment, including (A) whether such Grantor is an organization, the type of organization
and any organizational identification number issued to such Grantor and (B) in the case of a financing statement filed as a fixture filing, a sufficient description of the real property to which such Article 9 Collateral relates.  Each Grantor agrees to provide such information to the Collateral Agent promptly upon request.

 

(c) The Security Interest is granted as security only and shall not subject the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to, or in any way alter or modify, any obligation or liability of any Grantor with respect to or arising out
of the Article 9 Collateral.

 

(d) Each Grantor hereby further authorizes the Collateral Agent to file filings with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or United States Copyright Office (or any successor office or any similar office in any other country),

Section 3.02. Representations and Warranties .  Holdings and the Borrower jointly and severally represent
and warrant, as to themselves and the other Grantors, to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties that:

 

(a) Subject to Liens permitted by Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, each Grantor has good and valid rights in and title to the Article 9 Collateral with respect to which it has purported to grant a Security Interest hereunder and
has full power and authority to grant to the Collateral Agent the Security Interest in such Article 9 Collateral pursuant hereto and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without the consent or approval of any other Person other than any consent or approval that has been obtained.

 

(b) The Perfection Certificate has been duly prepared, completed, executed and delivered to the Collateral Agent and the information set forth therein, including the exact legal name of each Grantor, is correct and complete in all material
aspects as of the Closing Date.  The Uniform Commercial Code financing statements (including fixture filings, as applicable) or other appropriate filings, recordings or registrations prepared by the Collateral Agent based upon the information provided to the Collateral Agent in the Perfection Certificate for filing in each governmental, municipal or other office specified in Schedule 2 to the Perfection Certificate (or specified by notice from the applicable Grantor to the Collateral Agent after
the Closing Date in the case of filings, recordings or registrations required by Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement), are all the filings, recordings and registrations that are necessary to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Article 9 Collateral in which the Security Interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and
its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording, registration or reregistration is necessary in any such jurisdiction, except as provided under applicable law with respect to the filing of continuation statements.  Each Grantor represents and warrants that fully executed agreements in the form of Exhibit II, Exhibit III and Exhibit IV hereof and containing a description of all Collateral consisting of Intellectual Property with respect to United
States Patents and United States registered Trademarks (and Trademarks for which United States registration applications are pending) and United States registered Copyrights have been delivered to the Collateral Agent for recording by the United States Patent and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261, 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or 17 U.S.C. § 205 and the regulations thereunder, as applicable, and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other
necessary jurisdiction, to protect the validity of and to establish a legal, valid and perfected security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in respect of all Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registration in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions, and no further or subsequent filing, refiling, recording, rerecording,
registration or reregistration is necessary (other than such actions as are necessary to perfect the Security Interest with respect to any Collateral consisting of Patents, Trademarks and Copyrights (or registration or application for registration thereof) acquired or developed after the date hereof).

 

(c) The Security Interest constitutes (i) a legal and valid security interest in all the Article 9 Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, (ii) subject to the filings described in Section 3.02(b),
a perfected security interest in all Article 9 Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected by filing, recording or registering a financing statement or analogous document in the United States (or any political subdivision thereof) and its territories and possessions pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code and (iii) a security interest that shall be perfected in all Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected upon the receipt and recording of this Agreement with the United States Patent
and Trademark Office and the United States Copyright Office, as applicable, within the three month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 261 or 15 U.S.C. § 1060 or the one month period (commencing as of the date hereof) pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 205 and otherwise as may be required pursuant to the laws of any other necessary jurisdiction.  The Security Interest is and shall be prior to any other Lien on any of the Article 9 Collateral, other than (i) any Lien
that is expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement and has priority as a matter of law and (ii) Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d) The Article 9 Collateral is owned by the Grantors free and clear of any Lien, except for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.  None of the Grantors has filed or consented to the
filing of (i) any financing statement or analogous document under the Uniform Commercial Code or any other applicable laws covering any Article 9 Collateral, (ii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument covering any Collateral with the United States Patent and Trademark Office or the United States Copyright Office, or (iii) any assignment in which any Grantor assigns any Article 9 Collateral or any security agreement or similar instrument
covering any Article 9 Collateral with any foreign governmental, municipal or other office, which financing statement or analogous document, assignment, security agreement or similar instrument is still in effect, except, in each case, for Liens expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(e) All Commercial Tort Claims of each Grantor in existence on the date of this Agreement (or on the date upon which such Grantor becomes a party to this Agreement) are described on Schedule III hereto.

 

Section 3.03. Covenants .  (a)The
Borrower agrees to promptly notify the Collateral Agent in writing of any change (i) in the legal name of any Grantor, (ii) in the identity or type of organization or corporate structure of any Grantor, (iii) in the jurisdiction of organization of any Grantor, (iv) in the Location of any Grantor or (v) in the organizational identification number of any Grantor.  In addition, if any Grantor does not have an organizational identification number on the Closing Date (or the date such Grantor becomes a party
to this Agreement) and later obtains one, the Borrower shall promptly thereafter notify the Collateral Agent of such organizational identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to the extent necessary to maintain the security interests (and the priority thereof) of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral intended to be granted hereby fully perfected and in full force and effect.

 

(b) Each Grantor shall, at its own expense, take any and all commercially reasonable actions necessary to defend title to the Article 9 Collateral against all Persons and to defend the Security Interest of the Collateral Agent in the
Article 9 Collateral and the priority thereof against any Lien not expressly permitted pursuant to Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement; provided that, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent any Grantor from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of its assets or properties if such discontinuance is both (x) determined by such Grantor in good faith to be desirable in the conduct of its business and (y) is permitted by the Credit
Agreement.

 

(c) Each year, at the time of delivery of annual financial statements with respect to the preceding fiscal year pursuant to Section 6.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Collateral Agent a certificate executed
by the chief financial officer and the chief legal officer of the Borrower setting forth the information required pursuant to Schedules 1(a), 1(c), 1(e), 1(f) and 2(b) of the Perfection Certificate or confirming that there has been no change in such information since the date of such certificate or the date of the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 3.03(c).

 

(d) The Borrower agrees, on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Grantor, at its own expense, to execute, acknowledge, deliver and cause to be duly filed all such further instruments and documents and take all such actions as the
Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request to better assure, preserve, protect and perfect the Security Interest and the rights and remedies created hereby, including the payment of any fees and taxes required in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the granting of the Security Interest and the filing of any financing statements (including fixture filings) or other documents in connection herewith or therewith.  If any amount payable under or in connection with
any of the Article 9 Collateral that exceeds $5,000,000 shall be or become evidenced by any promissory note or other instrument, such note or instrument shall be promptly pledged and delivered to the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent.

 

(e) At its option, the Collateral Agent may discharge past due taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances at any time levied or placed on the Article 9 Collateral and not permitted pursuant to
Section 7.01 of the Credit Agreement, and may pay for the maintenance and preservation of the Article 9 Collateral to the extent any Grantor fails to do so as required by the Credit Agreement or this Agreement and within a reasonable period of time after the Collateral Agent has requested that it do so, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent within 10 days after demand for any payment made or any reasonable expense incurred by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the
foregoing authorization.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be interpreted as excusing any Grantor from the performance of, or imposing any obligation on the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party to cure or perform, any covenants or other promises of any Grantor with respect to taxes, assessments, charges, fees, Liens, security interests or other encumbrances and maintenance as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

(f) If at any time any Grantor shall take a security interest in any property of an Account Debtor or any other Person the value of which exceeds $5,000,000 to secure payment and performance of an Account, such Grantor shall promptly
assign such security interest to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties.  Such assignment need not be filed of public record unless necessary to continue the perfected status of the security interest against creditors of and transferees from the Account Debtor or other Person granting the security interest.

 

(g) Each Grantor (rather than the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party) shall remain liable (as between itself and any relevant counterparty) to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by
it under each contract, agreement or instrument relating to the Article 9 Collateral, all in accordance with the terms and conditions thereof, and each Grantor jointly and severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties from and against any and all liability for such performance.

 

Section 3.04. Other Actions .  In order to further ensure the attachment, perfection and priority
of, and the ability of the Collateral Agent to enforce, the Security Interest, each Grantor agrees, in each case at such Grantor’s own expense, to take the following actions with respect to the following Article 9 Collateral:

 

(a) Instruments.  If any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any Instruments constituting Collateral and evidencing an amount in excess of $5,000,000, such Grantor
shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.

 

(b) Investment Property.  Except to the extent otherwise provided in Article II, if any Grantor shall at any time hold or acquire any certificated securities, such Grantor
shall forthwith endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the applicable Secured Parties, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Collateral Agent may from time to time reasonably request.  If any securities now or hereafter acquired by any Grantor are uncertificated and are issued to such Grantor or its nominee directly by the issuer thereof, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and following the occurrence of
an Event of Default such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the Collateral Agent’s reasonable request, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, either (i) cause the issuer to agree to comply with instructions from the Collateral Agent as to such securities, without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the registered owner of the securities.  If any
securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, or other investment property are held by any Grantor or its nominee through a securities intermediary or commodity intermediary, upon the Collateral Agent’s request and following the occurrence of an Event of Default, such Grantor shall immediately notify the Collateral Agent thereof and at the Collateral Agent’s request and option, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent shall either (i) cause
such securities intermediary or (as the case may be) commodity intermediary to agree to comply with entitlement orders or other instructions from the Collateral Agent to such securities intermediary as to such security entitlements, or (as the case may be) to apply any value distributed on account of any commodity contract as directed by the Collateral Agent to such commodity intermediary, in each case without further consent of any Grantor or such nominee, or (ii) in the case of financial assets or other Investment
Property held through a securities intermediary, arrange for the Collateral Agent to become the entitlement holder with respect to such Investment Property, with the Grantor being permitted, only with the consent of the Collateral Agent, to exercise rights to withdraw or otherwise deal with such Investment Property.  The Collateral Agent agrees with each of the Grantors that the Collateral Agent shall not give any such entitlement orders or instructions or directions to any such issuer, securities intermediary
or commodity intermediary, and shall not withhold its consent to the exercise of any withdrawal or dealing rights by any Grantor, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  The provisions of this paragraph shall not apply to any financial assets credited to a securities account for which the Collateral Agent is the securities intermediary.

 

(c) Commercial Tort Claims.  If any Grantor shall at any time after the date of this Agreement acquire a Commercial Tort Claim in an amount (taking the greater of the
aggregate claimed damages thereunder or the reasonably estimated value thereof) of $5,000,000 or more, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof in a writing signed by such Grantor and provide supplements to Schedule III describing the details thereof and shall grant to the Collateral Agent a security interest therein and in the proceeds thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d) Letter of Credit Rights.  If any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a letter of credit with a stated amount
of $5,000,000 or more, such Grantor shall promptly notify the Collateral Agent thereof and, at the request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor shall, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent, use its reasonable best efforts to (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such letter of credit to consent to an assignment to the Collateral Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under such letter of credit or (ii) arrange for the Collateral Agent to become
the transferee beneficiary of such letter of credit, with the Collateral Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the letter of credit are to be applied as provided in this Agreement after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

 

ARTICLE IV

 





 

Certain Provisions Concerning Intellectual Property Collateral

 

Section 4.01. Grant of License to Use Intellectual Property .  Without limiting the provision
of Section 3.01 hereof or any other rights of the Collateral Agent as the holder of a Security Interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral, for the purpose of enabling the Collateral Agent to exercise rights and remedies under this Agreement at such time as the Collateral Agent shall be lawfully entitled to exercise such rights and remedies, each Grantor shall, upon request by the Collateral Agent, grant to the Collateral Agent an irrevocable, non-exclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty
or other compensation to the Grantors and exercisable only after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default) to use, license or sublicense any of the Intellectual Property Collateral now owned or hereafter acquired by such Grantor, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license reasonable access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof.  The
use of such license by the Collateral Agent may be exercised, at the option of the Collateral Agent, during the continuation of an Event of Default; provided that any license, sublicense or other transaction entered into by the Collateral Agent in accordance herewith shall be binding upon the Grantors notwithstanding any subsequent cure of an Event of Default.

 

Section 4.02. Protection of Collateral Agent’s Security

 

(a) Except to the extent failure to act, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, with respect to registration or pending application of each item of its Intellectual
Property Collateral for which such Grantor has standing to do so, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all steps, including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental authority located in the United States, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of any registered Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance
of each Patent, Trademark, or Copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes, the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing
of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions, the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition, cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings.

 

(b) Except where failure to do so, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Grantor shall take all steps to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual Property
Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that all licensed users of any of the Trademarks abide by the applicable license’s terms with respect to the standards of quality.

 

(c) Except as could not, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property
Collateral may lapse, be terminated, or become invalid or unenforceable or placed in the public domain (or in case of a trade secret, lose its competitive value).

 

(d) Each Grantor agrees that, should it obtain an ownership or other interest in any Intellectual Property Collateral after the Closing Date (“After-Acquired Intellectual
Property”), (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the case of Trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect thereto.

 

(e) Nothing in this Agreement prevents any Grantor from discontinuing the use or maintenance of any of its Intellectual Property Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement if such Grantor determines in its reasonable
business judgment that such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business.

 

Section 4.03. After-Acquired Property . Once every fiscal quarter of the Borrower, with respect to issued
or registered Patents (or published applications therefore) or Trademarks (or applications therefor), and once every fiscal quarter, with respect to registered Copyrights, each Grantor shall sign and deliver to the Collateral Agent an appropriate Security Agreement Supplement and related grant of security interest with respect to all of its applicable Owned Intellectual Property as of the last day of such period, to the extent that such Intellectual Property is not covered by any previous Security Agreement Supplement
and related grant of security interest so signed and delivered by it.  In each case, it will promptly cooperate as reasonably necessary to enable the Collateral Agent to make any necessary or reasonably desirable recordations with the U.S. Copyright Office or the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, as appropriate.

 

ARTICLE V

 





 

Remedies

 

Section 5.01. Remedies Upon Default .  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, it is agreed that the Collateral Agent shall have the right to exercise any and all rights afforded to a secured party with respect to the Secured Obligations, as applicable, under the Uniform Commercial Code or other applicable law, and also may (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at
a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) occupy any premises owned or, to the extent lawful and permitted, leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice
thereof prior to or promptly after such occupancy; (iii) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral; provided that the Collateral Agent shall provide the applicable Grantor with notice thereof prior to or promptly after such exercise; (iv) withdraw any and all cash or other Collateral from the Cash Collateral Account and to apply such cash and other Collateral to the payment of any and all Secured Obligations
in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of this Agreement; (v) subject to the mandatory requirements of applicable law and the notice requirements described below, sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the Collateral securing the Secured Obligations at a public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for future delivery as the Collateral Agent shall deem appropriate; and (vi) with respect to any Intellectual Property Collateral, on demand,
cause the Security Interest to become an assignment, transfer and conveyance of any of or all such Intellectual Property Collateral by the applicable Grantors to the Collateral Agent, or license or sublicense, whether general, special or otherwise, and whether on an exclusive or nonexclusive basis, any such Intellectual Property Collateral throughout the world on such terms and conditions and in such manner as the Collateral Agent shall determine, provided, however, that such terms shall include all terms and
restrictions that customarily required to ensure the continuing validity and effectiveness of the Intellectual Property at issue, such as, without limitation, quality control and inure provisions with regard to Trademarks, patent designation provisions with regard to patents, and copyright notices and restrictions or decompilation and reverse engineering of copyrighted software.  The Collateral Agent shall be authorized at any sale of securities (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective
bidders or purchasers of such securities to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Collateral for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or sale thereof, and upon consummation of any such sale the Collateral Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Collateral so sold.  Each such purchaser at any sale of Collateral shall hold the property sold absolutely, free from any claim or right
on the part of any Grantor, and each Grantor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay and appraisal which such Grantor now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

 

The Collateral Agent shall give the applicable Grantors 10 days’ written notice (which each Grantor agrees is reasonable notice within the meaning of Section 9-611 of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions) of the Collateral Agent’s intention to make any sale of Collateral.  Such notice, in
the case of a public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale and, in the case of a sale at a broker’s board or on a securities exchange, shall state the board or exchange at which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such board or exchange.  Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Collateral Agent may fix and state in the notice
(if any) of such sale.  At any such sale, the Collateral, or portion thereof, to be sold may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Collateral Agent may (in its sole and absolute discretion) determine.  The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of any Collateral if it shall determine not to do so, regardless of the fact that notice of sale of such Collateral shall have been given.  The Collateral Agent may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned.  In case any sale of all or any part of the Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Collateral Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but the Collateral Agent
shall not incur any liability in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may be sold again upon like notice.  At any public (or, to the extent permitted by law, private) sale made pursuant to this Agreement, any Secured Party may bid for or purchase, free (to the extent permitted by law) from any right of redemption, stay, valuation or appraisal on the part of any Grantor (all said rights being also
hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by law), the Collateral or any part thereof offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to such Secured Party from any Grantor as a credit against the purchase price, and such Secured Party may, upon compliance with the terms of sale, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Grantor therefor.  For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase the Collateral
or any portion thereof shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Collateral Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Grantor shall be entitled to the return of the Collateral or any portion thereof subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Collateral Agent shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default shall have been remedied and the Secured Obligations paid in full (in which case the applicable Grantors shall be entitled to the proceeds of any
such sale pursuant to Section 5.02 hereof).  As an alternative to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Collateral Agent may proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and to sell the Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction or pursuant to a proceeding by a court appointed receiver.  Any sale pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.01 shall be deemed to
conform to the commercially reasonable standards as provided in Section 9-610(b) of the New York UCC or its equivalent in other jurisdictions.

 

Each Grantor irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the Collateral Agent (and all officers, employees or agents designated by the Collateral Agent) as such Grantor’s true and lawful agent (and attorney-in-fact) during the continuance of an Event of Default and after notice to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights
(except in the case of a Bankruptcy Event of Default, in which case no such notice shall be required), for the purpose of (i) making, settling and adjusting claims in respect of Article 9 Collateral under policies of insurance, endorsing the name of such Grantor on any check, draft, instrument or other item of payment for the proceeds of such policies if insurance, (ii) making all determinations and decisions with respect thereto and (iii) obtaining or maintaining the policies of insurance required by Section 6.07
of the Credit Agreement or to pay any premium in whole or in part relating thereto.  All sums disbursed by the Collateral Agent in connection with this paragraph, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, expenses and other charges relating thereto, shall be payable, within 10 days of demand, by the Grantors to the Collateral Agent and shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby.

 

Section 5.02. Application of Proceeds .  The Collateral Agent shall apply the proceeds of any
collection or sale of Collateral, including any Collateral consisting of cash, in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.  The Collateral Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement.  Upon any sale of Collateral by the Collateral Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Collateral Agent or
of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Collateral Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.  It is understood and agreed that the Grantors shall remain jointly and severally liable to the extent of any deficiency between the amount of the proceeds of
the Collateral and the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations.

 

ARTICLE VI

 





 

Indemnity, Subrogation and Subordination

 

Section 6.01. Indemnity .  In addition to all such rights of indemnity and subrogation as the
Grantors may have under applicable law (but subject to Section 6.03), each Guarantor Party (as defined in the Guaranty) agrees that, in the event any assets of any Grantor that is a Subsidiary Party shall be sold pursuant to this Agreement or any other Collateral Document to satisfy in whole or in part an Obligation owing directly by such Guaranteed Party to any Secured Party (i.e., other than pursuant to its capacity as a Guarantor under the Guaranty), such Guaranteed Party shall indemnify such Grantor in an
amount equal to the fair market value of the assets so sold.

 

Section 6.02. Contribution and Subrogation .  At any time a payment by any Subsidiary Party in
respect of the Secured Obligations is made under this Agreement or any other Collateral Document as a result of a sale of assets by such Subsidiary Party that shall not have been fully indemnified as provided in Section 6.01, the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Party against each other Subsidiary Party shall be determined as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence, with the right of contribution of each Subsidiary Party to be revised and restated as of each date on which a payment (a “Relevant
Payment”) is made on the Secured Obligations under this Agreement and not indemnified pursuant to Section 6.01.  At any time that a Relevant Payment is made by a Subsidiary Party that results in the aggregate payments made by such Subsidiary Party in respect of the Secured Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment exceeding such Subsidiary Party’s Contribution Percentage (as defined below) of the aggregate payments made by all Subsidiary Parties in respect of the Secured
Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment (such excess, the “Aggregate Excess Amount”), each such Subsidiary Party shall have a right of contribution against each other Subsidiary Party who has made payments in respect of the Secured Obligations to and including the date of the Relevant Payment in an aggregate amount less than such other Subsidiary Party’s Contribution Percentage of the aggregate payments made to and including the date of the Relevant Payment by all Subsidiary
Parties in respect of the Secured Obligations (the aggregate amount of such deficit, the “Aggregate Deficit Amount”) in an amount equal to (x) a fraction the numerator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of such Subsidiary Party and the denominator of which is the Aggregate Excess Amount of all Subsidiary Parties multiplied by (y) the Aggregate Deficit Amount of such other Subsidiary Party.  A Subsidiary Party’s right of contribution pursuant to the preceding sentences shall arise
at the time of each computation, subject to adjustment to the time of each computation; provided that the contribution rights of such Subsidiary Party shall be subject to Section 6.03.  As used in this Section 6.02:  (i) each Subsidiary Party’s “Contribution Percentage” shall mean the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the Adjusted Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Party by (y) the aggregate Adjusted Net Worth of all Subsidiary Parties; (ii) the “Adjusted
Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Party shall mean the greater of (x) the Net Worth (as defined below) of such Subsidiary Party and (y) zero; and (iii) the “Net Worth” of each Subsidiary Party shall mean the amount by which the fair saleable value of such Subsidiary Party’s assets on the date of any Relevant Payment exceeds its existing debts and other liabilities (including contingent liabilities, but without giving effect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising under the Subsidiary Guaranty
or any guaranteed obligations arising under any guaranty of any Junior Financing or any Permitted Refinancing thereof) on such date.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained above, any Subsidiary Party that is released from this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.13 hereof shall thereafter have no contribution obligations, or rights, pursuant to this Section 6.02, and at the time of any such release, if the released Subsidiary Party had an Aggregate Excess Amount or an Aggregate Deficit Amount,
same shall be deemed reduced to $0, and the contribution rights and obligations of the remaining Subsidiary Parties shall be recalculated on the respective date of release (as otherwise provided above) based on the payments made hereunder by the remaining Subsidiary Parties.  Each of the Subsidiary Parties recognizes and acknowledges that the rights to contribution arising hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of the party entitled to such contribution.  In this connection, each Subsidiary
Party has the right to waive its contribution right against any other Subsidiary Party to the extent that after giving effect to such waiver such Subsidiary Party would remain solvent, in the determination of the Required Lenders.

 

Section 6.03. Subordination .  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
all rights of the Grantors under Sections 6.01 and 6.02 and all other rights of indemnity, contribution or subrogation under applicable law or otherwise shall be fully subordinated to the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations; provided, that if any amount shall be paid to such Grantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time prior to the irrevocable payment in full in cash of all the Secured Obligations, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Secured Parties
and shall forthwith be paid to the Collateral Agent to be credited and applied against the Secured Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with Section 5.02 of this Agreement.  No failure on the part of the Borrower or any Grantor to make the payments required by Sections 6.01 and 6.02 (or any other payments required under applicable law or otherwise) shall in any respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Grantor with respect to its obligations hereunder, and each Grantor
shall remain liable for the full amount of the obligations of such Grantor hereunder.

 

ARTICLE VII

 





 

Miscellaneous

 

Section 7.01. Notices .  All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as otherwise expressly
permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.  All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 7.02. Waivers; Amendment .  (a)No
failure or delay by the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, remedy, power or privilege, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The
rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Collateral Agent, the L/C Issuers and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section 7.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only
in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.  No notice or demand on any Loan Party in any case shall entitle any Loan Party to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances.

 

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent and the Loan Party or Loan Parties with respect to which
such waiver, amendment or modification is to apply, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 7.03. Collateral Agent’s Fees and Expenses; Indemnification .  (a)The
parties hereto agree that the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement of its expenses incurred hereunder as provided in Section 10.04 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan Documents, the Grantors jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Collateral Agent and the other Indemnitees (as defined in Section 10.05 of the Credit
Agreement) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreement or instrument contemplated
hereby, or to the Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer,
employee, counsel, agent, trustee, investment advisor or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.

 

(c) Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents.  The provisions of this Section 7.03 shall remain operative and in full force
and effect regardless of the termination of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party.  All amounts due under this Section 7.03 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.

 

Section 7.04. Successors and Assigns .  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties hereto
is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of any Grantor or the Collateral Agent that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 7.05. Survival of Agreement .  All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties
made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer
or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding (except if such Letter of Credit is cash collateralized or subject to a backstop letter of credit in each case in
an amount and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer) and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated.

 

Section 7.06. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Several Agreement .  This Agreement may be executed
in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement.  This Agreement shall become effective as to any Loan Party when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of such Loan Party shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart
hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent, and thereafter shall be binding upon such Loan Party and the Collateral Agent and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of such Loan Party, the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that no Loan Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment
or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.  This Agreement shall be construed as a separate agreement with respect to each Loan Party and may be amended, modified, supplemented, waived or released with respect to any Loan Party without the approval of any other Loan Party and without affecting the obligations of any other Loan Party hereunder.

 

Section 7.07. Severability .  Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.  The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid
provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 7.08. Right of Set-Off .  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided
by Law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender and its Affiliates is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, any such notice being waived by the Borrower and each Loan Party to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Lender
and its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the respective Loan Parties against any and all obligations owing to such Lender and its Affiliates hereunder, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured or denominated in a currency different from that of the applicable deposit or Indebtedness.  Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and
the Collateral Agent after any such set off and application made by such Lender; provided, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.  The rights of each Lender under this Section 7.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender may have.

 

Section 7.09. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process .  (a)  This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the State of New York.

 

(b) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any
action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Collateral Agent, any L/C Issuer or any Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any Grantor or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.

 

(c) Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 7.09.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 7.01.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party
to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 7.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL .  EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS
SECTION 7.10 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 

Section 7.11. Headings . Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience
of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

 

Section 7.12. Security Interest Absolute .  All rights of the Collateral Agent hereunder, the
Security Interest, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute
a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

 

Section 7.13. Termination or Release .  (a)This
Agreement, the Security Interest and all other security interests granted hereby shall terminate when all the outstanding Secured Obligations (other than Secured Obligations in respect of Secured Hedge Agreements and Cash Management Obligations not yet due and payable (to the extent permitted by the terms thereof) and contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable) have been indefeasibly paid in full and the Lenders have no further commitment to lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations
have been reduced to zero (except if such Letter of Credit is fully cash collateralized or supported by a backstop letter of credit in each case in an amount and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer) and the L/C Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) A Subsidiary Party shall automatically be released from its obligations hereunder and the Security Interest in the Collateral of such Subsidiary Party shall be automatically released upon the consummation of any transaction permitted by the Credit Agreement as a result of which such Subsidiary Party ceases to be a Subsidiary of the
Borrower; provided that the Required Lenders shall have consented to such transaction (to the extent required by the Credit Agreement) and the terms of such consent did not provide otherwise.

 

(c) Upon any sale or other transfer by any Grantor of any Collateral that is permitted under the Credit Agreement, or upon the effectiveness of any written consent to the release of the security interest granted hereby in any Collateral pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement, the security interest in such Collateral shall
be automatically released.

 

(d) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c), the Collateral Agent shall promptly execute and deliver to any Grantor, at such Grantor’s expense, all documents (including relevant certificates,
securities and other instruments) that such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination or release.  Any execution and delivery of documents pursuant to this Section 7.13 shall be without recourse to or warranty by the Collateral Agent.

 

(e) At any time that the respective Grantor desires that the Collateral Agent take any action described in the immediately preceding paragraph (d), it shall, upon request of the Collateral Agent, deliver to the Collateral Agent an officer’s
certificate certifying that the release of the respective Collateral is permitted pursuant to paragraph (a), (b) or (c).  The Collateral Agent shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of Collateral by it as permitted (or which the Collateral Agent in good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 7.13.

 

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, each Cash Management Bank and each Hedge Bank by the acceptance of the benefits under this Agreement hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary under any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be secured pursuant to this Agreement only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Secured Obligations are so secured and (ii) any release of Collateral effected in the manner permitted by this Agreement shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

 

Section 7.14 Additional Restricted Subsidiaries .  Pursuant to Section 6.11 of the Credit Agreement, certain Restricted Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties that were not in existence or not
Restricted Subsidiaries on the date of the Credit Agreement are required to enter in this Agreement as Subsidiary Parties upon becoming Restricted Subsidiaries.  Upon execution and delivery by the Collateral Agent and a Restricted Subsidiary of a Security Agreement Supplement, such Restricted Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Party hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Subsidiary Party herein.  The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require
the consent of any other Loan Party hereunder.  The rights and obligations of each Loan Party hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Loan Party as a party to this Agreement.

 

Section 7.15 Collateral Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact .  Each Grantor hereby appoints the Collateral Agent the attorney-in-fact of such Grantor for the purpose of carrying out the provisions
of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Collateral Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof at any time after and during the continuance of an Event of Default, which appointment is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and (unless a Bankruptcy Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing) delivery of notice by the Collateral Agent to the Borrower of its intent to exercise such rights, with full power of substitution either in the Collateral Agent’s name or in the name of such Grantor (a) to receive, endorse, assign and/or deliver any and all notes, acceptances, checks, drafts, money orders or other evidences of payment relating to the Collateral or any part thereof; (b) to demand, collect, receive payment of, give receipt for and give discharges and releases of all or
any of the Collateral; (c) to sign the name of any Grantor on any invoice or bill of lading relating to any of the Collateral; (d) to send verifications of Accounts to any Account Debtor; (e) to commence and prosecute any and all suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect or otherwise realize on all or any of the Collateral or to enforce any rights in respect of any Collateral; (f) to settle, compromise, compound, adjust or defend any actions, suits or
proceedings relating to all or any of the Collateral; (g) to notify, or to require any Grantor to notify, Account Debtors to make payment directly to the Collateral Agent or the Cash Collateral Account and adjust, settle or compromise the amount of payment of any Account; and (h) to use, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with all or any of the Collateral, and to do all other acts and things necessary to carry out the purposes of this Agreement, as fully and completely
as though the Collateral Agent were the absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes; provided that nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Collateral Agent to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by the Collateral Agent, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered
thereby.  The Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts actually received as a result of the exercise of the powers granted to them herein, and neither they nor their officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to any Grantor for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct or that of any of their Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, counsel, agents or attorneys-in-fact.

 

Section 7.16 General Authority of the Collateral Agent .  By acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured Party (whether or not a signatory hereto)
shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement and such other Collateral Documents against any Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder relating
to any Collateral or any Grantor’s obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral Document against any Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents.

 

Section 7.17 Mortgages .  In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of a Mortgage and the terms thereof are inconsistent with
the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall control in the case of Fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall control in the case of all other Collateral.

 

Section 7.18 Recourse; Limited Obligations .  This Agreement is made with full recourse to each Grantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the
part of such Grantor contained herein, in the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.  It is the desire and intent of each Grantor and the Secured Parties that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Grantor to the fullest extent permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, and in furtherance of the foregoing, it
is noted that the obligations of each Grantor that is a Subsidiary Party have been limited as expressly provided in the Subsidiary Guaranty and are limited hereunder as and to the same extent provided therein.

EXHIBIT I to the

Security Agreement





 

SUPPLEMENT NO. __ dated as of [●], to the Security Agreement dated as of June 14, 2007, among OSI RESTAURANT PARTNERS, LLC (the “Borrower”), OSI HOLDCO, INC. (“Holdings”), the Subsidiaries
of the Borrower identified therein and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH, as Collateral Agent for the Secured Parties (as defined below).

 

A Reference is made to (i) the Credit Agreement dated as of June 14, 2007 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among the Borrower, Holdings, each Lender (as defined in the Credit
Agreement) from time to time party thereto, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, Pre-Funded RC Deposit Bank, Swing Line Lender and an L/C Issuer, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and General Electric Capital Corporation, SunTrust Bank, Cooperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., “Rabobank Nederland”, New York Branch, LaSalle Bank National Association, Wachovia Bank, National Association and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents,
(ii) the Guaranty (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (iii) each Secured Hedge Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and (vi) the Cash Management Obligations (as defined in the Credit agreement).

 

B Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement and the Security Agreement referred to therein.

 

C The Grantors have entered into the Security Agreement in order to induce (x) the Lenders to make Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue Letters of Credit, (y) the Hedge Banks to enter into and/or maintain Secured Hedge Agreements and (z) the Cash Management Bank to provide Cash Management Services.  Section 7.14
of the Security Agreement provides that additional Restricted Subsidiaries of the Borrower may become Subsidiary Parties under the Security Agreement by execution and delivery of an instrument substantially in the form of this Supplement.  The undersigned Restricted Subsidiary (the “New Subsidiary”) is executing this Supplement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement to become a Subsidiary Party under
the Security Agreement in order to induce the Lenders to make additional Loans and the L/C Issuers to issue additional Letters of Credit and as consideration for Loans previously made and Letters of Credit previously issued.

 

Accordingly, the Collateral Agent and the New Subsidiary agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  In accordance with Section 7.14 of the Security Agreement, the New Subsidiary by its signature below becomes a Subsidiary Party (and accordingly, becomes a Grantor) and Grantor under the Security Agreement with the same force and effect as if originally
named therein as a Subsidiary Party and the New Subsidiary hereby (a) agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Security Agreement applicable to it as a Subsidiary Party and Grantor thereunder and (b) represents and warrants that the representations and warranties made by it as a Grantor thereunder are true and correct on and as of the date hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the New Subsidiary, as security for the payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations does hereby create
and grant to the Collateral Agent, its successors and assigns, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, their successors and assigns, a security interest in and lien on all of the New Subsidiary’s right, title and interest in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Security Agreement) of the New Subsidiary.  Each reference to a “Grantor” in the Security Agreement shall be deemed to include the New Subsidiary.  The Security Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

 

Section 2.  The New Subsidiary represents and warrants to the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties that this Supplement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against
it in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 3.  This Supplement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Supplement
shall become effective when the Collateral Agent shall have received a counterpart of this Supplement that bears the signature of the New Subsidiary and the Collateral Agent has executed a counterpart hereof.  Delivery of an executed signature page to this Supplement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Supplement.

 

Section 4.  The New Subsidiary hereby represents and warrants that (a) set forth on Schedule I attached hereto is a true and correct schedule of the location of any and all Collateral of the New Subsidiary and (b) set forth under its signature hereto is the
true and correct legal name of the New Subsidiary, its jurisdiction of formation and the location of its chief executive office.

 

Section 5.  Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Security Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 6.  THIS SUPPLEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 7.  In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Supplement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and in the Security Agreement
shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 8.  All communications and notices hereunder shall be in writing and given as provided in Section 7.01 of the Security Agreement.

 

Section 9.  The New Subsidiary agrees to reimburse the Collateral Agent for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with this Supplement, including the reasonable fees, other charges and disbursements of counsel for the Collateral Agent.

in accordance with the terms of the Credit Documents, each Secured Hedge Agreement and any agreement evidencing any Cash Management Obligations (collectively, the "Secured Credit Documents" and individually, a "Secured Credit Document").

 

Section 1.03. Maintenance of Mortgaged Property. The Mortgagor will maintain the Improvements and the Personal Property in the manner required by the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 1.04. Insurance. If any portion of Improvements constituting part of the

 

Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified as a special flood hazard area by Federal

 

Emergency Management Agency or other applicable agency, Mortgagor will purchase flood

 

insurance in an amount satisfactory to the Mortgagee, but in no event less than the maximum limit of coverage available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, as amended.

 

Section 1.05. Casualty Condemnation/Eminent Domain. The Mortgagor shall give the Mortgagee prompt written notice of any casualty or other damage to the Mortgaged Property or any proceeding for the taking of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof or interest therein
under power of eminent domain or by condemnation or any similar proceeding in accordance with, and to the extent required by, the Credit Agreement. Any Net Cash Proceeds received by or on behalf of the Mortgagor in respect of any such casualty, damage or taking shall be applied or reinvested in accordance with the Credit Agreement.





 

Section 1.06. Assignment of Leases and Rents. (a) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably

 

and absolutely grants, transfers and assigns all of its right, title and interest in all Leases, together with any and all extensions and renewals thereof for purposes of securing and discharging the performance by the Mortgagor of the Secured Obligations. The Mortgagor has not assigned or executed any assignment of, and will not assign
or execute any assignment of, any Leases or the Rents payable thereunder to anyone other than the Mortgagee.

 

(b) All Leases shall be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage. The Mortgagor will not enter into, modify or amend any Lease if such Lease, as entered into, modified or amended, will not be subordinate to the lien of this Mortgage.

 

(c) Subject to Section 1.07(d), the Mortgagor has assigned and transferred to the

 

Mortgagee all of the Mortgagor's right, title and interest in and to the Rents now or hereafter

 

arising from each Lease heretofore or hereafter made or agreed to by the Mortgagor, it being

 

intended that this assignment establish, subject to Section 1.07(d), an absolute transfer and

 

assignment of all Rents and all Leases to the Mortgagee and not merely to grant a security

 

interest therein. Subject to Section 1.07(d), the Mortgagee may in the Mortgagor's name and

 

stead (with or without first taking possession of any of the Mortgaged Property personally or by

 

receiver as provided herein) operate the Mortgaged Property and rent, lease or let all or any

 

portion of any of the Mortgaged Property to any party or parties at such rental and upon such

 

terms as the Mortgagee shall, in its sole discretion, determine, and may collect and have the

 

benefit of all of said Rents arising from or accruing at any time thereafter or that may thereafter

 

become due under any Lease.

 

(d) So long as an Event of Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the

 

Mortgagee will not exercise any of its rights under Section 1.07(c), and the Mortgagor shall

 

receive and collect the Rents accruing under any Lease; but after the happening and during the

 

continuance of any Event of Default, the Mortgagee may, at its option, receive and collect all

 

Rents and enter upon the Premises and Improvements through its officers, agents, employees or

 

attorneys for such purpose and for the operation and maintenance thereof. Notwithstanding the

 

preceding sentence, the Mortgagor's right to receive and collect the rents accruing under any

 

Lease shall automatically be reinstated once the Event of Default is no longer continuing. The

 

Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each tenant, if any, and each successor, if

 

any, to the interest of any tenant under any Lease, respectively, to rely upon any notice of a

 

claimed Event of Default sent by the Mortgagee to any such tenant or any of such tenant's

 

successors in interest, and thereafter to pay Rents to the Mortgagee without any obligation or





 

right to inquire as to whether an Event of Default actually exists and even if some notice to the

 

contrary is received from the Mortgagor, who shall have no right or claim against any such

 

tenant or successor in interest for any such Rents so paid to the Mortgagee. Each tenant or any

 

of such tenant's successors in interest from whom the Mortgagee or any officer, agent, attorney

 

or employee of the Mortgagee shall have collected any Rents, shall be authorized to pay Rents to

 

the Mortgagor only after such tenant or any of their successors in interest shall have received

 

written notice from the Mortgagee that the Event of Default is no longer continuing, unless and

 

until a further notice of an Event of Default is given by the Mortgagee to such tenant or any of its

 

successors in interest.

 

(e) The Mortgagee will not become a mortgagee in possession so long as it does not enter and take actual possession of the Mortgaged Property. In addition, the Mortgagee shall not be responsible or liable for performing any of the obligations of the landlord under any Lease, for any waste by any tenant, or others, for any dangerous or
defective conditions of any of the Mortgaged Property, for negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of any of the Mortgaged Property or any other act or omission by any other person.

 

(f) The Mortgagor shall furnish to the Mortgagee, within thirty days after a request by the Mortgagee to do so, a written statement containing the names of all tenants, subtenants and concessionaires of the Premises or Improvements, the terms of any Lease, the space occupied and the rentals and/or other amounts payable thereunder.

 

Section 1.07. Security Agreement. This Mortgage is both a mortgage of real property

 

and a grant of a security interest in personal property, and shall constitute and serve as a

 

"Security Agreement" within the meaning of the uniform commercial code as adopted in the

 

state wherein the Premises are located ("UCC"). The Mortgagor has hereby granted unto the

 

Mortgagee a security interest in and to all the Mortgaged Property described in this Mortgage

 

that is not real property, and simultaneously with the recording of this Mortgage, the Mortgagor

 

has filed or will file UCC financing statements, and will file continuation statements prior to the

 

lapse thereof, at the appropriate offices in the jurisdiction of formation of the Mortgagor to

 

perfect the security interest granted by this Mortgage in all the Mortgaged Property that is not

 

real property to the extent perfection can be obtained by the filing of UCC financing statements.

 

The Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent,

 

for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, and to file the same

 

in the appropriate offices (to the extent it may lawfully do so), and to perform each and every act

 

and thing reasonably requisite and necessary to be done to perfect the security interest

 

contemplated by the preceding sentence. The Mortgagee shall have all rights with respect to the

 

part of the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of a security interest afforded by the UCC in

 

addition to, but not in limitation of, the other rights afforded the Mortgagee hereunder and under

 

the Guarantee and Security Agreement.

 

Section 1.08. Filing and Recording. Mortgagor will cause this Mortgage, the UCC

 

financing statements referred to in Section 1.07, any other security instrument creating a security

 

interest in or evidencing the lien hereof upon the Mortgaged Property and each UCC

 

continuation statement and instrument of further assurance to be filed, registered or recorded

 

and, if necessary, refiled, rerecorded and reregistered, in such manner and in such places as may

 

be required by any present or future law in order to publish notice of and fully to perfect the lien





 

hereof upon, and the security interest of the Mortgagee in, the Mortgaged Property until this

 

Mortgage is terminated and released in full in accordance with Section 3.04 hereof. The

 

Mortgagor will pay all filing, registration and recording fees, all Federal, state, county and

 

municipal recording, documentary or intangible taxes and other taxes, duties, imposts,

 

assessments and charges, and all reasonable expenses incidental to or arising out of or in

 

connection with the execution, delivery and recording of this Mortgage, UCC continuation

 

statements any mortgage supplemental hereto, any security instrument with respect to the

 

Personal Property, Permits, Plans and Warranties and Proceeds or any instrument of further

 

assurance.

 

Section 1.09. Further Assurances. Upon request by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagor will,

 

at the cost of the Mortgagor and without expense to the Mortgagee, do, execute, acknowledge

 

and deliver all such further acts, deeds, conveyances, mortgages, assignments, notices of

 

assignment, transfers and assurances as the Mortgagee shall from time to time reasonably require

 

for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto the Mortgagee the

 

property and rights hereby conveyed or assigned or intended now or hereafter so to be, or which

 

the Mortgagor may be or may hereafter become bound to convey or assign to the Mortgagee, or

 

for carrying out the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of this Mortgage, or for

 

filing, registering or recording this Mortgage, and on demand, the Mortgagor will also execute

 

and deliver and hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent,

 

for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to file to the extent

 

it may lawfully do so, one or more financing statements, chattel mortgages or comparable

 

security instruments reasonably requested by the Mortgagee to evidence more effectively the lien

 

hereof upon and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property and to perform each and

 

every act and thing reasonably requested to be done to accomplish the same.

 

Section 1.10. Additions to Mortgaged Propert y. All right, title and interest of the

 

Mortgagor in and to all extensions, improvements, betterments, renewals, substitutes and

 

replacements of, and all additions and appurtenances to, the Mortgaged Property hereafter

 

acquired by or released to the Mortgagor or constructed, assembled or placed by the Mortgagor

 

upon the Premises or the Improvements, and all conversions of the security constituted thereby,

 

immediately upon such acquisition, release, construction, assembling, placement or conversion,

 

as the case may be, and in each such case without any further mortgage, conveyance, assignment

 

or other act by the Mortgagor, shall become subject to the lien and security interest of this

 

Mortgage as fully and completely and with the same effect as though now owned by the

 

Mortgagor and specifically described in the grant of the Mortgaged Property above, but at any

 

and all times the Mortgagor will execute and deliver to the Mortgagee any and all such further

 

assurances, mortgages, conveyances or assignments thereof as the Mortgagee may reasonably

 

require for the purpose of expressly and specifically subjecting the same to the lien and security

 

interest of this Mortgage.

 

Section 1.11. No Claims Against Mortgagee. Nothing contained in this Mortgage shall

 

constitute any consent or request by the Mortgagee, express or implied, for the performance of

 

any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the

 

Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, nor as giving the Mortgagor any right, power or

 

authority to contract for or permit the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of













 

any materials or other property in such fashion as would permit the making of any claim against the Mortgagee in respect thereof.





 

Section 1.12. Fixture Filing. (a) Certain portions of the Mortgaged Property are or will

 

become "fixtures" (as that term is defined in the UCC) on the Land or the Improvements, and this Mortgage, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said UCC
upon such portions of the Mortgaged Property that are or become fixtures.

 

(b) The real property to which the fixtures relate is described in Exhibit A attached

 

hereto. The record owner of the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto is the

 

Mortgagor. The name, type of organization and jurisdiction of organization of the debtor for

 

purposes of this financing statement are the name, type of organization and jurisdiction of

the secured party for purposes of this financing statement is the name of the Mortgagee set forth

 

in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address of the Mortgagor/debtor is the

 

address of the Mortgagor set forth in the first paragraph of this Mortgage. The mailing address

 

of the Mortgagee/secured party from which information concerning the security interest

 

hereunder may be obtained is the address of the Mortgagee set forth in the first paragraph of this

Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagor shall, upon demand of the

 

Mortgagee, forthwith surrender to the Mortgagee actual possession of the Mortgaged Property

 

and, if and to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, the Mortgagee itself, or by such

 

officers or agents as it may appoint, may then enter and take possession of all the Mortgaged

 

Property without the appointment of a receiver or an application therefor, exclude the Mortgagor

 

and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have access to the books, papers and

 

accounts of the Mortgagor.

 

(b) If the Mortgagor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof after such demand by the Mortgagee, the Mortgagee may to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon the Mortgagee the right to immediate possession or requiring Mortgagor to deliver
immediate possession of the Mortgaged Property to the Mortgagee, to the entry of which judgment or decree the Mortgagor hereby specifically consents. The Mortgagor will pay to the Mortgagee, upon demand, all reasonable expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to the Mortgagee's attorneys and agents; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by this Mortgage.

 

(c) Upon every such entry or taking of possession, the Mortgagee may, to the extent not

 

prohibited by applicable law, hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Mortgaged

 

Property, conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper

Mortgagee, all as may from time to time be directed or determined by Mortgagee to be in its best

 

interest and the Mortgagor hereby appoints the Mortgagee as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact

 

and agent, for the Mortgagor and in its name, place and stead, in any and all capacities, to

 

perform any of the foregoing acts. The Mortgagee may collect and receive all the Rents, issues,

 

profits and revenues from the Mortgaged Property, including those past due as well as those

 

accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (i) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and

 

operating the Mortgaged Property (including reasonable compensation for the services of all

 

persons employed for such purposes), (ii) the costs of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals,

 

replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions, (iii) the costs of

Obligations that are then due shall have been paid and all Events of Default fully cured, the

 

Mortgagee will surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property back to the Mortgagor, its

 

successors or assigns without recourse and without representation and warranty. The same right





 

of taking possession shall, however, arise again if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.

 

Section 2.04. Right To Cure Mortgagor's Failure to Perform. Should the Mortgagor fail

 

in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition required by this

 

Mortgage or the Credit Agreement (with respect to the Mortgaged Property), the Mortgagee may

 

with notice to the Mortgagor pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs

 

or expenses incurred by the Mortgagee in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall

 

be, within ten days of written demand, repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and if not so

 

repaid shall accrue interest at the Default Rate. The Mortgagee shall be the judge using

 

reasonable discretion of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. The

 

Mortgagee is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Premises or

 

the Improvements or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such

 

defaulted term, covenant or condition without having any obligation to so perform or observe

 

and without thereby becoming liable to the Mortgagor, to any person in possession holding under

 

the Mortgagor or to any other person.

 

Section 2.05. Right to a Receiver. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,

 

the Mortgagee, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter

 

of right and without notice to the Mortgagor to the appointment of a receiver to take possession

 

of and to operate the Mortgaged Property and to collect and apply the Rents. The receiver shall

 

have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged

 

Property is located. The Mortgagor shall pay to the Mortgagee within ten days of written

 

demand all reasonable expenses, including receiver's fees, reasonable attorney's fees and

 

disbursements, costs and agent's compensation incurred pursuant to the provisions of this

 

Section 2.05; and all such expenses shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall be within ten

 

days of written demand repaid by the Mortgagor to the Mortgagee and if not so repaid shall

 

accrue interest at the Default Rate.

 

Section 2.06. Foreclosure and Sale. (a)  If an Event of Default shall occur and be

 

continuing, the Mortgagee may, upon ten Business Days written notice to the Mortgagor, elect to

 

sell the Mortgaged Property or any part of the Mortgaged Property by exercise of the power of

 

foreclosure or of sale granted to the Mortgagee by applicable law or this Mortgage. In such case,

 

the Mortgagee may commence a civil action to foreclose this Mortgage, or it may proceed and

 

sell the Mortgaged Property to satisfy any Secured Obligation. The Mortgagee or an officer

 

appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the Mortgaged Property, may sell all or such parts

 

of the Mortgaged Property as may be chosen by the Mortgagee at the time and place of sale fixed

 

by it in a notice of sale, either as a whole or in separate lots, parcels or items as the Mortgagee

 

shall deem expedient, and in such order as it may determine, at public auction to the highest

 

bidder. The Mortgagee or an officer appointed by a judgment of foreclosure to sell the

 

Mortgaged Property may postpone any foreclosure or other sale of all or any portion of the

 

Mortgaged Property by public announcement at such time and place of sale, and from time to

 

time thereafter may postpone such sale by public announcement or subsequently noticed sale.

 

Without further notice, the Mortgagee or an officer appointed to sell the Mortgaged Property

 

may make such sale at the time fixed by the last postponement, or may, in its discretion, give a

 

new notice of sale. Any person, including the Mortgagor or the Mortgagee or any designee or

 

affiliate thereof, may purchase at such sale.

 

 (b) The Mortgaged Property may be sold subject to unpaid taxes not yet due or payable and Permitted Encumbrances, and, after deducting all costs, fees and expenses of the Mortgagee (including costs of evidence of title in connection with the sale), the Mortgagee or an officer that makes any sale shall apply the proceeds of sale
in the manner set forth in Section 2.08.

 

(c) Any foreclosure or other sale of less than the whole of the Mortgaged Property or any defective or irregular sale made hereunder shall not exhaust the power of foreclosure or of sale provided for herein; and subsequent sales may be made hereunder until the Secured Obligations have been satisfied, or the entirety of the Mortgaged Property
has been sold.

 

(d) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Mortgagee may instead of,

 

or in addition to, exercising the rights described in Section 2.06(a) above and either with or

 

without entry or taking possession as herein permitted, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in

 

equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to specifically enforce payment of

 

some or all of the Secured Obligations, or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or

 

agreement of this Mortgage or any other Secured Credit Document or any other right or (ii) to

 

pursue any other remedy available to the Mortgagee, all as the Mortgagee shall determine most

 

effectual for such purposes.





 

Section 2.07. Other Remedies.(a)In case an Event of Default shall occur and be

 

continuing, the Mortgagee may also exercise, to the extent not prohibited by law, any or all of

 

the remedies available to a secured party under the UCC.

 

(b) In connection with a sale of the Mortgaged Property or any Personal Property and the application of the proceeds of sale as provided in Section 2.08, to the extent permitted by applicable law the Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive up to the principal amount of the Secured Obligations, plus all other charges,
payments and costs due under this Mortgage, and to recover a deficiency judgment for any portion of the aggregate principal amount of the Secured Obligations remaining unpaid, with interest.

 

Section 2.08. Application of Sale Proceeds and Rents. After any foreclosure sale of all

 

or any of the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagee shall receive and apply the proceeds of the sale

 

together with any Rents that may have been collected and any other sums that then may be held

 

by the Mortgagee under this Mortgage in accordance with Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement.

 

The Mortgagee shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds,

 

moneys or balances in accordance with the Security Agreement. Upon any sale of the

 

Mortgaged Property by the Mortgagee (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute

 

or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Mortgagee or of the officer making the sale

 

shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Mortgaged Property so sold

 

and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the

 

purchase money paid over to the Mortgagee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the

 

misapplication thereof.

 

Section 2.09. The Mortgagor as Tenant Holding Over. If the Mortgagor remains in

 

possession of any of the Mortgaged Property after any foreclosure sale by the Mortgagee, at the

 

Mortgagee's election the Mortgagor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith





 

surrender possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed or evicted according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.

 

Section 2.10. Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption

 

Laws. The Mortgagor waives, to the extent not prohibited by law, (i) the benefit of all laws now

 

existing or that hereafter may be enacted (x) providing for any appraisement or valuation of any

 

portion of the Mortgaged Property and/or (y) in any way extending the time for the enforcement

 

or the collection of amounts due under any of the Secured Obligations or creating or extending a

 

period of redemption from any sale made in collecting said debt or any other amounts due the

 

Mortgagee, (ii) any right to at any time insist upon, plead, claim or take the benefit or advantage

 

of any law now or hereafter in force providing for any homestead exemption, stay, statute of

 

limitations, extension or redemption, or sale of the Mortgaged Property as separate tracts, units

 

or estates or as a single parcel in the event of foreclosure or notice of deficiency and (iii) all

 

rights of redemption, valuation, appraisement, stay of execution, notice of election to mature or

 

declare due the whole of or each of the Secured Obligations and marshaling in the event of

 

foreclosure of this Mortgage.

 

Section 2.11. Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case the Mortgagee shall proceed to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Mortgage by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall be discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall be determined adversely
to the Mortgagee, then and in every such case the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of the Mortgagee shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.





 

Section 2.12. Suits To Protect the Mortgaged Propert y. The Mortgagee shall have power

 

(a) to institute and maintain suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Mortgaged Property by any acts that may be unlawful or in violation of this Mortgage, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property and in the Rents arising therefrom and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation
or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security or be prejudicial to the interest of the Mortgagee hereunder.

 

Section 2.13. Filing Proofs of Claim. In case of any receivership, insolvency,

 

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting

 

the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be entitled to file such proofs

 

of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the

 

Mortgagee allowed in such proceedings for the Secured Obligations secured by this Mortgage at

 

the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any interest accrued, late charges and

 

additional interest or other amounts due or that may become due and payable hereunder after

 

such date.

 

Section 2.14. Possession by Mortgagee. Notwithstanding the appointment of any receiver, liquidator or trustee of the Mortgagor, any of its property or the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgagee shall be entitled, to the extent not prohibited by law, to remain in possession and
control of all parts of the Mortgaged Property now or hereafter granted under this Mortgage to the Mortgagee in accordance with the terms hereof and applicable law.





 

Section 2.15. Waiver.(a) No delay or failure by the Mortgagee, any L/C Issuer, any

 

Lender, any Hedge Bank or any Cash Management Bank to exercise any right, power, remedy or

 

privilege accruing upon any breach or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right,

 

power, remedy or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Event of Default

 

or acquiescence therein; and every right, power, remedy and privilege given by this Mortgage to

 

the Mortgagee may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by

 

the Mortgagee. No consent or waiver by the Mortgagee to or of any breach or Event of Default

 

by the Mortgagor in the performance of the Secured Obligations shall be deemed or construed to

 

be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Event of Default in the performance of the

 

same or of any other Secured Obligations by the Mortgagor hereunder. No failure on the part of

 

the Mortgagee to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default,

 

irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall constitute a waiver by the Mortgagee of its

 

rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any future Event of

 

Default by the Mortgagor.

 

(b) Even if the Mortgagee (i) grants some forbearance or an extension of time for the

 

payment of any sums secured hereby, (ii) takes other or additional security for the payment of

 

any sums secured hereby, (iii) waives or does not exercise some right granted herein or under the

 

Secured Credit Documents, (iv) releases a part of the Mortgaged Property from this Mortgage,

(v) agrees to change some of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of any of the

Secured Credit Documents, (vi) consents to the filing of a map, plat or replat affecting the

Premises, (vii) consents to the granting of an easement or other right affecting the Premises or

(viii) makes or consents to an agreement subordinating the Mortgagee's lien on the Mortgaged

Property hereunder; no such act or omission shall preclude the Mortgagee from exercising any

other right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any breach

or Event of Default then made or of any subsequent default; nor, except as otherwise expressly

provided in an instrument executed by the Mortgagee, shall this Mortgage be altered thereby. In

the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or part of the Mortgaged

Property, the Mortgagee is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any vendee or

transferee with reference to the Mortgaged Property secured hereby, or with reference to any of

the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might

deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any

liabilities, obligations or undertakings.

 

Section 2.16. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE MORTGAGOR AND THE

 

MORTGAGEE EACH WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY

 

APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY

contemplated hereby, or to the Mortgaged Property, whether or not any Indemnitee is a party

 

thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent

 

that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of

 

competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross

in this Mortgage shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any

 

respect, such validity, illegality or unenforceability shall, at the option of the Mortgagee, not

















 

affect any other provision of this Mortgage, and this Mortgage shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.





 

Section 3.02. Notices. All communications and notices hereunder shall (except as

 

otherwise expressly permitted herein) be in writing and given as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement. All communications and notices hereunder to any Subsidiary Party shall be given to it in care of the Borrower as provided in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

successors and assigns of the Mortgagee.

 

Section 3.04. Satisfaction and Cancelation. (a) The conveyance to the Mortgagee of

 

the Mortgaged Property as security created and consummated by this Mortgage shall be null and

to lend under the Credit Agreement, the L/C Obligations have been reduced to zero and the L/C

 

Issuers have no further obligations to issue Letters of Credit under the Credit Agreement.

 

(b) Upon a sale or financing by the Mortgagor of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property that is permitted by the Credit Agreement, the lien of this Mortgage shall be automatically released from the applicable portion of the Mortgaged Property.

 

(c) In connection with any termination or release pursuant to paragraph (a), the Mortgage shall be marked "satisfied" by the Mortgagee, and this Mortgage shall be canceled of record at the request and at the expense of the Mortgagor. The Mortgagee shall execute any documents (without recourse, representation or warranty) reasonably requested
by the Mortgagor to accomplish the foregoing or to accomplish any release contemplated by this Section 3.04 and the Mortgagor will pay all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, disbursements and other charges, incurred by the Mortgagee in connection with the preparation and execution of such documents.

 

(d) At any time the Mortgagor desires the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof be

 

released as provided in this Section 3.04, the Mortgagor shall, upon request by the Mortgagee,

 

deliver to the Mortgagee an officer's certificate certifying the release of the Mortgaged Property

 

(or the portion thereof, as applicable) is permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The

 

Mortgagee shall have no liability whatsoever to any Secured Party as the result of any release of

 

the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof by it as permitted (or which the Mortgagee in

 

good faith believes to be permitted) by this Section 3.04 and the Credit Agreement.

 

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Mortgage, each Cash

 

Management Bank and each Hedge Bank by the acceptance of benefits under this Mortgage

 

hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) the obligations of the Borrower or any Subsidiary under

 

any Secured Hedge Agreement and the Cash Management Obligations shall be secured pursuant

 

to this Mortgage only to the extent that, and for so long as, the other Secured Obligations are so

 

secured and (ii) any release of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property effected in the





 

manner permitted by this Mortgage shall not require the consent of any Hedge Bank or Cash Management Bank.

 

Section 3.05. Definitions. As used in this Mortgage, the singular shall include the plural

 

as the context requires and the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

 

(a) "including" shall mean "including but not limited to"; (b) "provisions" shall mean

 

"provisions, terms, covenants and/or conditions"; (c) "lien" shall mean "lien, charge,

 

encumbrance, security interest, mortgage or deed of trust"; (d) "obligation" shall mean

 

"obligation, duty, covenant and/or condition"; and (e) "any of the Mortgaged Property" shall mean "the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or interest therein". Any act that the Mortgagee is permitted to perform hereunder may be performed at any time and from time to time by the Mortgagee or any person or entity designated by the Mortgagee.
Any act that is prohibited to the Mortgagor hereunder is also prohibited to all lessees of any of the Mortgaged Property. Each appointment of the Mortgagee as attorney-in-fact for the Mortgagor under the Mortgage is irrevocable, with power of substitution and coupled with an interest. Subject to the applicable provisions hereof, the Mortgagee has the right to refuse to grant its consent, approval or acceptance or to indicate its satisfaction, in its sole discretion, whenever such consent, approval, acceptance
or satisfaction is required hereunder.

 

Section 3.06. Multisite Real Estate Transaction. The Mortgagor acknowledges that this

 

Mortgage may be one of a number of Other Mortgages and Collateral Documents that secure the

 

Secured Obligations. The Mortgagor agrees that the lien of this Mortgage shall be absolute and

 

unconditional and shall not in any manner be affected or impaired by any acts or omissions

 

whatsoever of the Mortgagee, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the lien

 

hereof shall not be impaired by any acceptance by the Mortgagee of any security for or

 

guarantees of any of the Secured Obligations hereby secured, or by any failure, neglect or

 

omission on the part of the Mortgagee to realize upon or protect any Secured Obligation or

 

indebtedness hereby secured or any collateral security therefor including the Other Mortgages

 

and other Collateral Documents. The lien hereof shall not in any manner be impaired or affected

 

by any release (except as to the property released), sale, pledge, surrender, compromise,

 

settlement, renewal, extension, indulgence, alteration, changing, modification or disposition of

 

any of the Secured Obligations secured or of any of the collateral security therefor, including the

 

Other Mortgages and other Collateral Documents or of any guarantee thereof, and the Mortgagee

 

may at its discretion foreclose, exercise any power of sale, or exercise any other remedy

 

available to it under any or all of the Other Mortgages and other Collateral Documents without

 

first exercising or enforcing any of its rights and remedies hereunder. Such exercise of the

 

Mortgagee's rights and remedies under any or all of the Other Mortgages and other Collateral

 

Documents shall not in any manner impair the indebtedness hereby secured or the lien of this

 

Mortgage and any exercise of the rights or remedies of the Mortgagee hereunder shall not impair

 

the lien of any of the Other Mortgages and other Collateral Documents or any of the Mortgagee's

 

rights and remedies thereunder. The Mortgagor specifically consents and agrees that the

 

Mortgagee may exercise its rights and remedies hereunder and under the Other Mortgages and

 

other Collateral Documents separately or concurrently and in any order that it may deem

 

appropriate and waives any rights of subrogation.

 

Section 3.07. No Oral Modification. This Mortgage may not be changed or terminated

 

orally. Any agreement made by the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee after the date of this

 

Mortgage relating to this Mortgage shall be superior to the rights of the holder of any intervening or subordinate Mortgage, lien or encumbrance.

 

Section 3.08. Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process. (a) The Mortgagor hereby

 

irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive

 

jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York sitting in New York City and of the

 

United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from

 

any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Mortgage or any other

 

Secured Credit Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the

 

parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any

 

such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State or, to the extent

 

permitted by law, in such Federal court. The Mortgagor hereto agrees that a final judgment in

 

any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by

 

suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Mortgage or any

 

other Secured Credit Document shall affect any right that the Mortgagee, any L/C Issuer, any

 

Lender, any Hedge Bank or any Cash Management Bank may otherwise have to bring any action

 

or proceeding relating to this Mortgage or any other Secured Credit Document against the

 

Mortgagor in the courts of any jurisdiction, including but not limited to the courts of the State in

 

which the Mortgaged Property is located.

 

(b) The Mortgagor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it

 

may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying

 

of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Mortgage or any other

 

Secured Credit Document in any court referred to in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.08. The

 

Mortgagor hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense

 

of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

(c) The Mortgagor irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 3.02 of this Mortgage. Nothing in this Mortgage or any other Secured Credit Document will affect the right of any Secured Party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 3.09. Recourse. This Mortgage is made with full recourse to the Mortgagor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and agreements on the part of the Mortgagor contained herein, in the Loan Documents and the Secured Hedge Agreements
and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith.

 

Section 3.10. Reduction of Secured Amount. In the event that the maximum principal

 

amount secured by this Mortgage is less than the aggregate of the Secured Obligations, then the

 

amount secured hereby shall be reduced only by the last and final sums that the Mortgagor or

 

any other Loan Party repays with respect to the Secured Obligations and shall not be reduced by

 

any intervening repayments of the Secured Obligations. So long as the balance of the Secured

 

Obligations exceeds the amount secured hereby, any payments of the Secured Obligations shall

 

not be deemed to be applied against, or to reduce, the portion of the Secured Obligations secured

 

by this Mortgage.









 

Section 3.11. Future Advances. This Mortgage is given to secure the Secured

 

Obligations under, or in respect of, the Secured Credit Documents and shall secure not only

 

obligations with respect to presently existing indebtedness under the foregoing documents and

 

agreements but also any and all other indebtedness which may hereafter be owing to the Secured

 

Parties under the Secured Credit Documents, however incurred, whether interest, discount or

 

otherwise, and whether the same shall be deferred, accrued or capitalized, including future

 

advances and re-advances, pursuant to the Credit Agreement or the other Secured Credit

 

Documents, whether such advances are obligatory or to be made at the option of the Secured

 

Parties, or otherwise, to the same extent as if such future advances were made on the date of the

 

execution of this Mortgage. The Lien of this Mortgage shall be valid as to all indebtedness

 

secured hereby, including future advances, from the time of its filing for record in the recorder's

 

office of the county in which the Mortgaged Property is located. This Mortgage is intended to

 

and shall be valid and have priority over all subsequent Liens and encumbrances, including

 

statutory Liens, excepting solely taxes and assessments levied on the real estate, to the extent of

 

the maximum amount secured hereby, and Permitted Encumbrances related thereto. Although

 

this Mortgage is given to secure all future advances made by the Mortgagee and/or the other

 

Secured Parties to or for the benefit of the Borrower, the Mortgagor and/or the Mortgaged

 

Property, whether obligatory or optional, the Mortgagor and the Mortgagee hereby acknowledge

 

and agree that the Mortgagee and the other Secured Parties are obligated by the terms of the

 

Secured Credit Documents to make certain future advances, including advances of a revolving

 

nature, subject to the fulfillment of the relevant conditions set forth in the Secured Credit

 

Documents.

corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its

organization and (b) has the corporate power and authority to conduct the business in which it is

engaged and to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under each of the Credit Documents

to which it is a party. The Company and each of the Delaware LLC Subsidiary Guarantors (a) is

a limited liability company legally existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of

Delaware and (b) has the power and authority wider its limited liability company agreement and

the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act to conduct the business in which it is engaged and

a party.





2.           The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Credit Documents to

which each of the Company and the Covered Guarantors is a party have been duly authorized by

all requisite corporate action under the Delaware General Corporation Law or limited liability 

company action under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, as the case may be, on the

part of the Company or such Covered Guarantor. -Hach of the Company and the Covered

Guarantors has duly executed and delivered each of the Credit Documents to which it is a party.





3.           Each of the Credit Documents to which each of the Loan Parties is a party

constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each such person as is party thereto and is

enforceable against each such person in accordance with its terms.





4.           The execution and delivery by each of the Company and the Covered Guarantors

of the Credit Documents to which such person is party and the performance by such person of its

obligations thereunder will not violate the certificate of incorporation, certificate of formation,

by-laws, or limited liability company agreement, as applicable, of such person. The execution

and delivery by each of the Loan Parties of the Credit Documents to which such person is party

and the performance by such person of its obligations thereunder (a) will not violate any Covered

Laws and (b) will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default or result in the

creation of a Lien under, any of the agreements listed on Schedule III hereto.





5.           Except as may be required in order to perfect the Liens contemplated by the

Collateral Documents, under the Covered Laws, no consent, approval, license or exemption by,

 or order or authorization of, or filing, recording or registration with, any governmental authority

 is required to be obtained by the Loan Parties in connection with the execution and delivery of

the Credit Documents to which each such person is party or the performance by each such person

 of its obligations thereunder.





6.           We are not representing any of the Loan Parties in any pending litigation in which

it is a named defendant that challenges the validity or enforceability of, or seeks to enjoin the

performance of, the Credit Documents.





7.           None of the Loan Parties is an "investment company" within the meaning of the

Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.





8.           Neither the making of the loans under the Credit Agreement nor the application of

the proceeds thereof on the date hereof as provided in the Credit Agreement will violate

Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System as in effect on

the date hereof.





9.           Each of the Security Agreement and the Capital Expenditures Account Security

Agreement creates a security interest in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the

Secured Parties in the Collateral described therein to the extent that a security interest is such

Collateral (the "Article 9 Collateral") can be created under Article 9 of the New York Uniform

Commercial Code ("New York Article 9").





10.           Upon the proper filing of the financing statements attached as Schedule IV

(collectively, the "Delaware Financing Statements") in the office of the Secretary of State of the 

State of Delaware (the "Delaware Filing Office"), the security interest in the Article 9 Collateral

granted by Holdings, the Company, the Delaware Corporate Subsidiary Guarantors and the

Delaware LLC Subsidiary Guarantors under the Security Agreement will be perfected to the

extent a security interest in such Article 9 Collateral can be perfected under Delaware Article 9

by the filing of a financing statement in the Delaware Filing Office.





11.           Upon the delivery and assuming continuous possession in the State of New York

to the Collateral Agent of the certificates representing the Pledged Equity listed on Schedule V

(the "Certificated Pledged Equity") and the related stock powers pursuant to the Security

Agreement and assuming that neither the Collateral Agent nor any of the Secured Parties have

"notice of an adverse claim" (within the meaning of Section 8-105 of the New York Uniform

Commercial Code) with respect to such Certificated Pledged Equity at the time such Certificated

Pledged Equity is delivered to the Collateral Agent, the respective security interests in such

Certificated Pledged Equity created in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the

Secured Parties under the Security Agreement will constitute perfected security interests in such

Certificated Pledged Equity, free of any "adverse claim" (as defined in the New York Uniform

Commercial Code).





12.           Assuming (i) the due execution and delivery of the Capital Expenditures Account

Security Agreement by the Collateral Agent and the Account Custodian (as defined in the

Capital Expenditures Account Security Agreement), (ii) that the Account Custodian is a "bank"

and that Account 59171 maintained by the Company at the Account Custodian's office as set

forth in Section 2.01 of the Capital Expenditures Account Security Agreement (the "Capital

Expenditures Account") subject to the Capital Expenditures Account Security Agreement is a

"deposit account" (as those terms are defined in the New York Uniform Commercial Code) and

(iii) other than the Capital Expenditures Account Security Agreement, that there is no other

agreement or understanding which governs the rights and obligations of the parties to the Capital

Expenditures Account Security Agreement with respect to the Capital Expenditures Account, the

security interest in such Capital Expenditures Account in favor of the Collateral Agent for the

benefit of the Secured Parties under the Capital Expenditures Account Security Agreement

constitutes a perfected security interest.

(y) until the holders of Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash in respect of all amounts constituting Senior Indebtedness, any payment or distribution of any kind or character to which such Payee would otherwise be entitled shall be made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 





 

(ii) In the event that any Event of Default then exists or would result

 

therefrom, no payment by any Payor, or demand by any Payee, shall be made on account

 

of any amount owing in respect of the Note (including, without limitation, any payment pursuant to Section 7.13(a) of the Credit Agreement).

 





 

(iii) If any payment or distribution of any kind or character (whether in cash,

 

securities or other property) in respect of this Note shall (despite these subordination

 

provisions) be received by any Payee in violation of clause (i) or (ii) above before all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full in cash, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness (or their representatives), ratably according
to the respective aggregate amounts remaining unpaid thereon, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness of the relevant Payor in full in cash.

 





 

To the fullest extent permitted by law, no present or future holder of Senior

 

Indebtedness shall be prejudiced in its right to enforce the subordination of this Note by any act

 

or failure to act on the part of any Payor or by any act or failure to act on the part of such holder

 

or any trustee or agent for such holder. Each Payee and each Payor hereby agrees that the

 

subordination of this Note is for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties,

 

the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties are obligees under this Note to the same extent

 

as if their names were written herein as such and the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral

 

Agent may, on behalf of itself and the other Secured Parties, proceed to enforce the

 

subordination provisions herein.

 





 

If a Payee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in any proceeding or other action referred to in clause (i) of the second preceding paragraph prior to 30 days
before the expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then any of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness (or their representative) is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of such Payee.

 





 

Subject to the prior payment in full in cash of all Senior Indebtedness, each Payee

 

shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or

 

distributions of assets of the respective Payor applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all

 

amounts owing on the Note shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no

 

payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness by or on behalf of a Payor or

 

by or on behalf of the holder of the Note which otherwise would have been made to the holder of

 

the Note shall, as between such Payor, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness,





  



  







  









 

and the holder of the Note, be deemed to be payment by such Payor to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness,

 





The holders of the Senior Indebtedness may, without in any way affecting the

obligations of any Payee with respect thereto, at any time or from time to time and in their

absolute discretion, change the manner, place or terms of payment of, change or extend the time

of payment of, or renew or alter, any Senior Indebtedness, or amend, modify or supplement any

agreement or instrument governing or evidencing such Senior Indebtedness or any other

document referred to therein, or exercise or refrain from exercising any other of their rights

under the Senior Indebtedness including, without limitation, the waiver of default thereunder and

the release of any collateral securing such Senior Indebtedness, all without notice to or assent

from any Payee.





If any Payee shall acquire by indemnification, subrogation or otherwise, any lien,

estate, right or other interest in any of the assets or properties of any Payor, that lien, estate, right

or other interest shall be subordinate in right of payment to the Senior Indebtedness and the lien

of the Senior Indebtedness as provided herein, and each Payee hereby waives any and all rights it

may acquire by subrogation or otherwise to any lien of the Senior Indebtedness or any portion

thereof until such time as all Senior Indebtedness has been indefeasibly repaid in full in cash.





If, at any time, all or part of any payment with respect to Senior Indebtedness

theretofore made (whether by any other Loan Party or any other Person or enforcement of any

right of setoff or otherwise) is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the holders of Senior

Indebtedness for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, the insolvency,





bankruptcy or reorganization of any other Loan Party or such other Persons), the subordination provisions set forth herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, all as though such payment had not been made.





The indebtedness evidenced by this Note owed by any Payor that is neither a Guarantor nor the Borrower shall not be subordinated to, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with, any other obligation of such Payor.





Nothing contained in the subordination provisions set forth above is intended to or

will impair, as between each Payor and each Payee, the obligations of such Payor, which are

absolute and unconditional, to pay to such Payee the principal of and interest on this Note as and

when due and payable in accordance with its terms, or is intended to or will affect the relative

rights of such Payee and other creditors of such Payor other than the holders of Senior

Indebtedness.





Each Payee is hereby authorized (but not required) to record all loans and advances made by it to any Payor (all of which shall be evidenced by this Note), and all repayments or prepayments thereof, in its books and records, such books and records constituting prima
facie evidence of the accuracy of the information contained therein.

 

Each Payor hereby waives presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind in connection with this Note. All payments under this Note shall be made without offset, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.





  



  







  





 THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS THEREOF.

liability for interest therein. It is agreed and understood that the entity serving as Account

 

Custodian may earn fees associated with the investments outlined above in accordance with the

event shall the Account Custodian be deemed an investment manager or adviser in respect of any

 

selection of investments hereunder. It is understood and agreed that the Account Custodian or its

facilitate the assignment or other transfer by the Collateral Agent of any or all of its rights

 

hereunder, including, without limitation, (i) to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made

 

payable to the Grantor and representing any interest payment or other distribution in respect of

may deem commercially reasonable, (iii) direct the Account Custodian to withdraw any

 

Collateral from the Account and transfer the same to the Collateral Agent, and (iv) apply the

law, at least 10 days' written notice to the Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the

 

time after which any private sale or other disposition is to be made shall constitute reasonable

 

notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral

 

regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or

 

private sale from time to time (by announcement, in the case of any public sale, at the time and

 

place fixed therefore), and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place

 

to which it was so adjourned.

or complying with orders or other directives originated by the Collateral Agent or (ii) any action

 

taken or not taken by it (or them) under or in connection with this Agreement, except for the

and the Grantor (in each case, for itself or any Person and/or entity claiming through it) hereby

any action taken or omitted to be taken under this Agreement, except to the extent caused by the

Custodian be liable for indirect, special or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever

 

(including lost profits and lost business opportunity) even if it is advised of the possibility of

 

such damages and regardless of the form of action in which any such damages may be claimed.

faith, shall not be liable for any error of judgment in any action taken,

 

suffered or omitted by, or for any act done or step taken, suffered or

 

omitted by, or for any mistake of fact or law, unless such action

 

constitutes gross negligence or willful misconduct on its (or their) part (as

 

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-

 

appealable decision);





 

(D)           may consult with legal counsel selected by it (or other experts for the

 

Collateral Agent or the Grantor), and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it or them in good faith in accordance with the advice of such experts;

(H)           shall not be obligated or required by any provision of this Agreement to

 

expend or risk the Account Custodian's own funds, or to take any action

 

(including but not limited to the institution or defense of legal

 

proceedings) which in its or their judgment may cause it or them to incur

 

or suffer any expense or liability; provided, however, if the Account

 

Custodian elects to take any such action it shall be entitled to security or

 

indemnity by the Grantor for the payment of the costs, expenses (including

 

but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) and liabilities which may be

 

incurred therein or thereby, reasonably satisfactory to the Account

 

Custodian; and





 

(I)           shall not be liable for any delay or failure to act as may be required

 

hereunder when such delay or failure is due to any act of God, interruption or other circumstances beyond its control.





 

(ii)           The Account Custodian has no interest in the Account Proceeds (or any

 

Collateral which may be deemed to exist) deposited hereunder but is serving as Account Custodian only and has only possession thereof.

(iii)           The Account Custodian makes no representation as to the validity, value,

 

genuineness or collectibility of any security or other document or instrument held by or delivered

 

to it.

 

(b)           Resignation.                      (i) The Account Custodian may at any time resign and be

 

discharged by giving written notice thereof to the Grantor and the Collateral Agent. Before such

 

resignation shall become effective, the Collateral Agent shall appoint (with the consent of the

 

Grantor, except upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default under

 

Section 8.01(f) or 8.01(g) of the Credit Agreement, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed)

 

a successor Account Custodian by written instrument, one copy of which instrument shall be

 

delivered to each of the resigning Account Custodian, the Grantor and the successor Account

 

Custodian. If no successor Account Custodian shall have been so appointed and have accepted

 

appointment within thirty (30) days after the giving of the notice of resignation, the resigning

 

Account Custodian may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a

 

successor Account Custodian. Each such successor Account Custodian shall be knowledgeable

(c)           Successor Account Custodian.                                                      (i)
Any successor Account Custodian

 

appointed as provided above shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Grantor, the

 

Collateral Agent and its predecessor Account Custodian an instrument accepting such

 

appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the resignation of the predecessor Account

 

Custodian shall become effective and such successor Account Custodian without any further act,

 

deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations

 

of its predecessor under this Agreement, and with like effect as if originally named as Account

 

Custodian. The predecessor Account Custodian shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the

 

successor Account Custodian or its designee any Account Proceeds (and any Collateral) in its

 

possession and any related agreements, documents and statements held by it, and the Grantor, the

 

Collateral Agent and the predecessor Account Custodian shall execute and deliver such

 

instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly

 

vesting and confirming in the successor Account Custodian all such rights, powers, duties and

 

obligations.





 

(ii)           No successor Account Custodian shall accept appointment as provided in

 

this Section 7.01(c) unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Account Custodian is eligible under the provisions of Section 7.01(b)(i) above.





 

(d)           Merger or Consolidation of Account Custodian. Without the execution or

 

filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, any corporation or

which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking association resulting from any

merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Account Custodian shall be a party, or any

 

corporation or banking association succeeding to substantially all of the corporate trust business

 

of the Account Custodian shall be the successor of the Account Custodian hereunder, if and only

 

if such corporation or banking association shall be eligible under the provisions of Section

 

7.01 (b)(i) above.





 

The Account Custodian shall be bound only by the terms of this Agreement and

 

shall not be bound by or incur liability with respect to the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or understanding between the Grantor and the Collateral Agent to which the Account Custodian is not a party. The Account Custodian shall not have any duties hereunder except those specifically set forth herein.

(b)           Without limitation of its indemnification obligations under the other Loan

hereof, also shall include the Account Custodian) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless

 

from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the

 

reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or

 

asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, the

 

execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of this Agreement or any claim, litigation,

 

investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing agreement or instrument

 

contemplated hereby, or to the Account Proceeds or Collateral, whether or not any Indemnitee is

 

a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the

 

extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court

 

of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross

 

negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any Affiliate, director, officer,

 

employee, counsel, agent, trustee, investment advisor or attorney-in-fact of such Indemnitee.





 

(c)           Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be additional

 

Secured Obligations secured hereby and by the other Collateral Documents. The provisions of

 

this Section 8.01 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of the termination

 

of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, the consummation of the transactions

 

contemplated hereby, the repayment of any of the Secured Obligations, the invalidity or

 

unenforceability of any term or provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any

 

investigation made by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party. All

 

amounts due under this Section 8.01 shall be payable within 10 days of written demand therefor.





 

(d)           Without limiting the application of the foregoing provisions of this Section

including, without limitation, all fees and taxes in connection with the recording or filing of instruments and documents in public offices, payment or discharge of any taxes or Liens upon or in respect of the Account, the Account Proceeds or any Collateral and all other fees, costs and expenses in connection with protecting or maintaining the Account, the Account Proceeds and the Collateral Agent's interest therein and protecting, maintaining or preserving the Account Proceeds and the Collateral and the Collateral
Agent's interest therein, whether through judicial proceedings or otherwise, or in defending or prosecuting any actions, suits or proceedings arising out of or relating to the Account, the Account Proceeds and the Collateral.

 

The provisions of this Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Account Custodian.

Section 9.02. Waivers; Amendment.                                                             (a)
No failure or delay by the

 

Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian, any L/C Issuer, any Lender, any Hedge Bank or any

 

Cash Management Bank in exercising any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under

 

any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial

 

exercise of any such right, remedy, power or privilege or any abandonment or discontinuance of

 

steps to enforce such a right, remedy, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise

 

thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,

 

powers and privileges of the Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian, the L/C Issuers, the

 

Lenders, the Hedge Banks and the Cash Management Banks hereunder and under the other Loan

 

Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would

 

otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by

 

the Grantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by

 

paragraph (b) of this Section 9.02, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the

 

specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the

 

foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a













  



  







  





Exhibit L 

Page 14

waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian, any Lender or any L/C Issuer may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. No notice or demand on the Grantor in any case shall entitle the Grantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

(b)           Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended

or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian and the Grantor, subject to any consent required in accordance with Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement.





 

Section 9.03. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Agreement

any of the parties hereto is referred to, such reference shall be deemed to include the permitted

successors and assigns of such party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf

of the Grantor, the Collateral Agent or the Account Custodian that are contained in this

Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.

 

Section 9.04. Survival of Agreement. All covenants, agreements,

 

representations and warranties made by the Grantor in the Loan Documents and in the

 

certificates or other instruments prepared or delivered in connection with or pursuant to this

 

Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the

 

Lenders and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of

 

any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by any

 

Lender or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian,

 

any L/C Issuer or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect

 

representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended under the Credit Agreement, and

 

shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any

 

Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under any Loan Document is outstanding and

 

unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired

 

or terminated.





 

Section 9.05. Counterparts; Effectiveness, Several Agreement. This

 

Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually signed counterpart of this Agreement. This Agreement
shall become effective as to the Grantor when a counterpart hereof executed on behalf of the Grantor shall have been delivered to the Collateral Agent and a counterpart hereof shall have been executed on behalf of the Collateral Agent and the Account Custodian, and thereafter shall be binding upon the Grantor, the Collateral Agent and the Account Custodian and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Grantor, the Collateral Agent, the Account Custodian and the other
Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Grantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein or in the Collateral (and any such assignment or transfer shall be void) except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement or the Credit Agreement.





 

Section 9.06. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be

 

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to









  



  







  









 

Exhibit L 

 

Page 15

 

the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. The parties shall endeavor in good faith
negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

Section 9.07. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of

 

Process. (a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and governed by

the law of the State of New York. Regardless of any provisions in any other agreement, for the purposes of the New York UCC, New York is the Account Custodian's jurisdiction and the Account shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.





 

(b)           The Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and

 

its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York

 

sitting in New York City and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New

 

York, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or

 

relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for recognition or enforcement of any

 

judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all

 

claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New

 

York State or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto

 

agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be

 

enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that the Collateral

 

Agent, the Account Custodian, any L/C Issuer, any Lender, any Hedge Bank or any Cash

 

Management Bank may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this

 

Agreement or any other Loan Document against the Grantor or its properties in the courts of any

 

jurisdiction.





 

(c)           The Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest

 

extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to

 

the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement

 

or any other Loan Document in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section 9.07. Each

 

of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the

 

defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such

 

court.





 

(d)           Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in

 

the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

 

Section 9.08. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO

 

HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM,

 

DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR

 

IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS

 

OF THE PARTIES HERETO WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING,





  



  







  









 

Exhibit L 

 

Page 16

 

AND WHETHER FOUNDED IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION 9.08 WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE
OF THE CONSENT OF THE SIGNATORIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.





 

Section 9.09. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of

 

Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and

 

are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this

 

Agreement.





 

Section 9.10. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Collateral

 

Agent and the Account Custodian hereunder, the Security Interest, the grant of a security interest

 

in the Collateral and all obligations of the Grantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional

 

irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan

 

Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured

 

Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change

 

in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured

 

Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the

 

Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, the Secured Hedge Agreements or any other

 

agreement or instrument, (c) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Lien on other

 

collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent under or departure from any

 

guarantee, securing or guaranteeing all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other

 

circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the

 

Grantor in respect of the Secured Obligations or this Agreement.

 

Section 9.11. General Authority of the Collateral Agent.                                                                                                   By

 

acceptance of the benefits of this Agreement and any other Collateral Documents, each Secured

 

Party (whether or not a signatory hereto) shall be deemed irrevocably (a) to consent to the

 

appointment of the Collateral Agent as its agent hereunder and under such other Collateral

 

Documents, (b) to confirm that the Collateral Agent shall have the authority to act as the

 

exclusive agent of such Secured Party for the enforcement of any provisions of this Agreement

 

and such other Collateral Documents against the Grantor, the exercise of remedies hereunder or

 

thereunder and the giving or withholding of any consent or approval hereunder or thereunder

 

relating to any Collateral or the Grantor's obligations with respect thereto, (c) to agree that it

 

shall not take any action to enforce any provisions of this Agreement or any other Collateral

 

Document against the Grantor, to exercise any remedy hereunder or thereunder or to give any

 

consents or approvals hereunder or thereunder except as expressly provided in this Agreement or

 

any other Collateral Document and (d) to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and

 

any other Collateral Documents.

 

Section 9.12. Recourse. This Agreement is made with full recourse to

 

the Grantor and pursuant to and upon all the warranties, representations, covenants and

 

agreements on the part of the Grantor contained herein, in the Loan Documents and the Secured

 

Hedge Agreements and otherwise in writing in connection herewith or therewith. It is the desire





  



  







  









 

Exhibit L

accordance with Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act the Account Custodian, like all financial

 

institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required

a relationship or opens an account with Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas. The parties to

 

this Agreement agree that they will provide the Account Custodian with such information as it

 

may request in order for the Account Custodian to satisfy the requirements of the USA Patriot

 

Act.





 

Section 9.14. Instructions. For purposes of sending and receiving

 

instructions or directions hereunder, all such instructions or directions shall be, and the Account Custodian may conclusively rely upon such instructions or directions, delivered, and executed by representatives of the Grantor and/or the Collateral Agent designated on Schedule I attached hereto and made a part hereof (each such representative,

Schedule 5.06

Litigation





In April 2007, the Borrower was served with a putative class action complaint captioned Gerald D. Wells, Jr. et al. v. OSI Restaurant Partners, Inc., Case No. 07-1431, that was filed in the United States District Court for the District
of Pennsylvania alleging violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act, or FACTA. In addition, the Borrower had previously been provided with a copy of a putative class action complaint captioned Saunders v. Roy’s Family of Restaurants, Inc., Case No. SACV07-164 CJC (ANx), that was filed in the United States District Court for the Central District of California also alleging violations of FACTA, but have not yet been formally served
in the suit. FACTA restricts, among other things, the credit and debit card data that may be included on the electronically printed receipts provided to retail customers at the point of sale. The suits allege that the defendants violated a provision of FACTA by including more information on the electronically printed credit and debit card receipts provided to customers than is permitted under FACTA. Both complaints seek monetary damages, including statutory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and
injunctive relief. These lawsuits are among a number of lawsuits with similar allegations that have been filed recently against large retailers and foodservice operators, among others, as a result of the implementation of FACTA, which became fully effective as of December 4, 2006.





The Borrower is currently examining information relating to the allegations in these complaints and is evaluating developing judicial interpretations of the statute. While the Borrower intends to vigorously defend against these actions, both of these cases are in the preliminary stages of litigation,
and as a result, the ultimate outcome of these cases and their potential financial impact on us are not determinable at this time. However, based on facts, events and circumstances known to the Borrower as of the Closing Date, the Borrower does not believe that it is likely that any such monetary damages, including statutory damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees and injunctive relief, arising out of the foregoing, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.  This Schedule 5.06 does not limit the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.06 with respect to any facts, events or circumstances arising after the Closing Date or any changes in facts, events or circumstances from those known to the Borrower as of the Closing Date.
