(b)           Any Eurodollar Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the term “Interest Period” set forth in Section 1.1, of the length of the next Interest Period to be applicable to such Loans, provided that no Eurodollar Loan under a particular Facility may be continued as such (i) when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent has or the Required Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations or (ii) if an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower is in existence, and provided, further, that if the Borrower shall fail to give any required notice as described above in this paragraph or if such continuation is not permitted pursuant to the preceding proviso such Loans shall be automatically converted to ABR Loans on the last day of such then expiring Interest Period. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof.

 

2.8          Limitations on Eurodollar Tranches. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of Eurodollar Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, (a) after giving effect thereto, the aggregate principal amount of the Eurodollar Loans comprising each Eurodollar Tranche shall be not less than $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof and (b) no more than ten Eurodollar Tranches shall be outstanding at any one time (or, if less, the entire outstanding principal amount of any Loan).

 

2.9          Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Eurodollar Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate determined for such day plus the Applicable Margin.

 

(b)           Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the ABR plus the Applicable Margin.

 

33











 

(c)           (i) If all or a portion of the principal amount of any Loan shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), all overdue Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to in the case of the Loans, the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus 2% and (ii) if all or a portion of any interest payable on any Loan or other amount payable hereunder shall not be paid when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), such overdue amount shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate then applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility plus 2% in each case, with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) above, from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).

 

(d)           Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable from time to time on demand.

 

2.10        Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual days elapsed, except that, with respect to ABR Loans the rate of interest on which is calculated on the basis of the Prime Rate, the interest thereon shall be calculated on the basis of a 365- (or 366-, as the case may be) day year for the actual days elapsed. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of each determination of a Eurodollar Rate. Any change in the interest rate on a Loan resulting from a change in the ABR or the Eurocurrency Reserve Requirements shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Borrower and the relevant Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate.

 

(b)           Each determination of an interest rate by the Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders in the absence of manifest error. The Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Section 2.9(a).

 

2.11        Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If prior to the first day of any Interest Period:

 

(a)       the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower absent a manifest error) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period, or

 

(b)       the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that the Eurodollar Rate determined or to be determined for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders (as conclusively certified by such Lenders) of making or maintaining their affected Loans during such Interest Period,

 

the Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Borrower and the relevant Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given (x) any Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Loans under the relevant Facility that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to Eurodollar Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding Eurodollar Loans under the relevant Facility shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans. Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Administrative Agent, no further Eurodollar

 

34











 

Loans under the relevant Facility shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Borrower have the right to convert Loans under the relevant Facility to Eurodollar Loans.

 

2.12        Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower of the Initial Term Loans from the Initial Term Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Initial Term Loan Percentages of the Initial Term Lenders.

 

(b)           Each payment (including each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held by the Lenders (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6(e) or, in the case of Extended Term Loans, if the applicable Extension Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment). The amount of each such principal prepayment of the Loans (other than any optional prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5) shall be applied first to the scheduled installments of the Loans occurring within the next twelve months in direct order of maturity and second to reduce the then remaining installments of the Loans pro rata based upon the respective then remaining principal amounts thereof; each optional prepayment made pursuant to Section 2.5 shall be applied as directed by the Borrower or, in the absence of such direction, to reduce the remaining installments of the Loans in direct order of maturity, unless, in the case of Extended Term Loans, the applicable Extension Amendment specifies a less favorable treatment. Amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed.

 

(c)           All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to each relevant Lender promptly upon receipt in like funds as received, net of any amounts owing by such Lender pursuant to Section 8.7. If any payment hereunder (other than payments on the Eurodollar Loans) becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If any payment on a Eurodollar Loan becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the maturity thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless the result of such extension would be to extend such payment into another calendar month, in which event such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the preceding two sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension.

 

(d)           Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Borrowing Date therefor, such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon, at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans under the relevant Facility, on demand, from the Borrower.

 

35









 

(e)                                  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower.

 

(f)                                   If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.12(d), 2.12(e), 2.14(e) or 8.7, then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

 

2.13                        Requirements of Law. (a) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender or other Credit Party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

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

 

(ii)                                  shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in, by any Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Eurodollar Rate; or

 

(iii)                               shall impose on such Lender any other condition (other than Taxes);

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Credit Party, by an amount that such Lender or other Credit Party deems to be material, of making, converting into, continuing or maintaining Loans, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay such Lender or such other Credit Party, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such other Credit Party for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If any Lender or such other Credit Party becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this paragraph, it shall promptly notify the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.

 

(b)                                 If any Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company as a consequence of its obligations hereunder (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Lender’s holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy or liquidity)by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material and, in any event, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieve but for such change in Requirement of Law , then from time to time, after

 

36











 

submission by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or by United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, and (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines, requirements and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith or in implementation thereof, shall in each case be deemed to be a change in law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.

 

(d)                                 A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any amounts incurred more than six months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such nine-month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect. The obligations of the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

2.14                        Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.14), the amounts received with respect to this agreement equal the sum which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

 

(b)                                 The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

 

(c)                                  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.14, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

 

(d)                                 The Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Credit Party, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Credit Party or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Credit Party and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the

 

37











 

Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the calculations of such payment or liability and including reasonable supporting evidence shall be prima facie evidence thereof absent manifest error.

 

(e)                                  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so) and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.6(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, in either case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

 

(f)                                   (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than documentation relating to U.S. federal withholding taxes, including such documentation set forth in Section 2.14(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

 

(ii)                                  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

 

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

 

(B)                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

 

(1)                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an

 

38











 

exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. Federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

 

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

 

(3)                                 in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 to the effect that such Non-U.S. Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or

 

(4)                                 to the extent a Non-U.S. Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 or Exhibit F-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Non-U.S. Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Non-U.S. Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Non-U.S. Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

 

(C)                               any Non-U.S. Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Non-U.S. Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. Federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

 

(D)                               if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

 

39











 

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

 

(g)                                  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.14 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

 

(h)                                 Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.14 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under the Loan Documents.

 

(i)                                     For purposes of this Section 2.14, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

 

2.15                        Indemnity. The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Lender for, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from Eurodollar Loans after the Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or (c) the making of a prepayment of Eurodollar Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto. Such indemnification may include an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the amount so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate of interest for such Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurodollar market. A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

2.16                        Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if

 

40











 

requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending offices to suffer no economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a).

 

2.17                        Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that (a) requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), or (b) does not consent to any proposed amendment, supplement, modification, consent or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each of the Lenders or each of the Lenders affected thereby (so long as the consent of the Required Lenders has been obtained), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall not have eliminated the need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 2.15 if any Eurodollar Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein), (viii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), as the case may be, and (ix) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. Each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this paragraph may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee, and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto in order for such assignment to be effective.

 

2.18                        Extensions of Loans. (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, pursuant to one or more offers (each, an “Extension Offer”) made from time to time by the Borrower to all Lenders of Loans with the same maturity date, in each case on a pro rata basis (based on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the respective Loans with the same maturity date) and on the same terms to each such Lender, the Borrower is hereby permitted to consummate from time to time transactions with individual Lenders that accept the terms contained in such Extension Offers to extend the maturity date of each such Lender’s Loans and otherwise modify the terms of such Loans pursuant to the terms of the relevant Extension Offer (including by increasing the interest rate or fees payable in respect of such Loans (and related outstandings) and/or modifying the amortization schedule in respect of such Lender’s Loans) (each, an “Extension”, and each group of Loans, in each case as so extended, as well as the original Loans (not so extended), being a “tranche”; any Extended Term Loans shall constitute a separate tranche of Loans from the tranche of Loans from which they were converted), so long as the following terms are satisfied: (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time the offering document in respect of an Extension Offer is delivered to the Lenders, (ii) except as to pricing (interest rate, fees, funding discounts and prepayment premiums), amortization, maturity, required prepayment dates and participation in prepayments (which shall, subject to immediately succeeding clauses (iii), (iv) and (v), be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer), the Loans of any Lender that agrees to an Extension with respect to such Loans (an “Extending Term Lender”) extended pursuant to any Extension (“Extended Term Loans”) shall have the same terms as the tranche of Loans subject to such Extension Offer (except for covenants or other provisions contained therein applicable

 

41











 

only to periods after the then Latest Maturity Date of the Loans), (iii) the final maturity date of any Extended Term Loans shall be no earlier than the then Latest Maturity Date, (iv) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of any Extended Term Loans shall be no less than 91 days longer than the remaining Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Facility extended thereby, (v) any Extended Term Loans may participate on a pro rata basis or a less than pro rata basis (but not greater than a pro rata basis) in any voluntary or mandatory repayments or prepayments hereunder, in each case as specified in the respective Extension Offer, (vi) if the aggregate principal amount of Loans (calculated on the face amount thereof) in respect of which Lenders shall have accepted the relevant Extension Offer shall exceed the maximum aggregate principal amount of Loans offered to be extended by the Borrower pursuant to such Extension Offer, then the Loans of such Lenders shall be extended ratably up to such maximum amount based on the respective principal amounts (but not to exceed actual holdings of record) with respect to which such Lenders have accepted such Extension Offer, (vii) all documentation in respect of such Extension shall be consistent with the foregoing and (viii) any applicable Minimum Extension Condition shall be satisfied unless waived by the Borrower.

 

(b)                                 With respect to all Extensions consummated by the Borrower pursuant to this Section, (i) such Extensions shall not constitute voluntary or mandatory payments or prepayments for purposes of Section 2.18 and (ii) each Extension Offer shall specify the minimum amount of Loans to be tendered, which shall be with respect to Loans of a Facility an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $100,000,000 (or if less, the remaining outstanding principal amount thereof) (or such lesser minimum amount reasonably approved by the Administrative Agent) (a “Minimum Extension Condition”). The transactions contemplated by this Section 2.18 (including, for the avoidance of doubt, payment of any interest, fees or premium in respect of any Extended Term Loans on such terms as may be set forth in the relevant Extension Offer) shall not require the consent of any Lender or any other Person (other than as set forth in clause (c) below), and the requirements of any provision of this Agreement (including Section 2.12) or any other Loan Document that may otherwise prohibit any such Extension or any other transaction contemplated by this Section shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Section 2.18.

 

(c)                                  The consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) of the Administrative Agent shall be required to effectuate any Extension. No consent of any Lender or any other Person shall be required to effectuate any Extension, other than the consent of the Borrower and each Lender agreeing to such Extension with respect to one or more of its Loans (or a portion thereof). All Extended Term Loans and all obligations in respect thereof shall be Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that are secured by the Collateral on a pari passu basis with all other applicable Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (an “Extension Amendment”) with the Borrower as may be necessary in order to establish new tranches or sub-tranches in respect of Loans so extended and such technical amendments as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower in connection with the establishment of such new tranches or sub-tranches, in each case on terms consistent with this Section. Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Extensions, the respective Loan Parties shall (at their expense) amend (and the Administrative Agent is hereby directed to amend) any Mortgage (i) that has stated within it a maturity date prior to the then Latest Maturity Date so that such stated maturity date is extended to the then Latest Maturity Date (or such later date as may be advised by local counsel to the Administrative Agent), or (ii) covers property in a state where local counsel to the Administrative Agent has advised that because of the establishment of such tranches or sub-tranches and/or the extension of such maturity date, such Mortgage should be amended in the manner specified by such local counsel.

 

42









 

(d)                                 In connection with any Extension, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter period as may be agreed by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice thereof, and shall agree to such procedures (including, regarding timing, rounding and other adjustments and to ensure reasonable administrative management of the credit facilities hereunder after such Extension), if any, as may be established by, or acceptable to, the Administrative Agent, in each case acting reasonably to accomplish the purposes of this Section 2.18.

 

SECTION 3. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Initial Term Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each Lender that, as of the Closing Date:

 

3.1                               Organization; Powers. Each Loan Party (a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and to own and lease its property and (c) is qualified and in good standing (to the extent such concept is applicable in the applicable jurisdiction) to do business in every jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.2                               Authorizations; Enforceability. The Transactions to be entered into by each Loan Party are within such Loan Party’s powers and (other than with respect to the payment of Dividend) have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action on the part of such Loan Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by each Loan Party and constitutes, and each other Loan Document to which any Loan Party is to be a party, when executed and delivered by such Loan Party, will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Loan Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

3.3                               Governmental Approvals; No Conflicts. The Transactions (i) do not require any consent or approval of, registration or filing with, or any other action by, any Governmental Authority, except (A) such as has been obtained or made and are in full force and effect, (B) filings necessary to perfect or maintain Liens created by the Security Documents, (C) consents, approvals, registrations, filings, permits or actions the failure of which to obtain or perform could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (D) the transfer of the Environmental Permits to the Borrower (which transfers are currently being pursued and which the Borrower believes will be issued in the ordinary course), (ii) do not violate the Organizational Documents of any Loan Party or any Requirement of Law, except, in each case, for any such violation which could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, do not violate or result in a default or require any consent or approval under any Material Contract binding upon any Loan Party or its property, or under the Contribution Agreement or the Subordinated Notes, or give rise to a right under any of the foregoing to require any payment to be made by any Loan Party, except for violations, defaults or the creation of such rights that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect and (iv) do not result in the creation or imposition of any Lien on any property of any Loan Party, except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

43











 

3.4                               Financial Statements; Material Adverse Effect; Pro Forma Financial Statements.

 

(a)                                 Financial Statements. All financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 4.1(b) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied and present fairly and accurately in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations and cash flows of Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates and for the periods to which they relate, except for, in the case of interim financial statements delivered, the absence of footnote disclosures and normal year-end adjustments.

 

(b)                                 No Material Adverse Effect. Since September 8, 2012, there has been no event, change, circumstance or occurrence that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that any adverse change, event or effect arising from or related to any of the following shall not be deemed to constitute and shall not be taken into account in determining whether a material adverse effect has occurred: (i) changes in general economic conditions or changes affecting the industries in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries operates (except to the extent that such changes have a disproportionately adverse effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), (ii) macroeconomic factors, interest rates, currency exchange rates or general financial market conditions (except to the extent that such changes have a disproportionately adverse effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole), (iii) changes in GAAP and other accounting requirements after February 27, 2013 and/or (iv) changes in or effects arising from or relating to changes in laws, rules or regulations applicable to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (except to the extent that such changes have a disproportionately adverse effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole).

 

(c)                                  Pro Forma Financial Statements. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at December 31, 2012 and the related consolidated statement of income for the twelve (12) month period ended on such date (including the notes thereto) (the “Pro Forma Financial Statements”), copies of which have heretofore been furnished to each Lender, has been prepared giving effect (as if such events had occurred on such date) to (i) the Transactions and (ii) the payment of fees and expenses in connection with the foregoing. The Pro Forma Financial Statements have been prepared based on the best information available to the Borrower (on a commercially reasonable basis taking into account the context and available timeframe in which they were prepared) as of the date of delivery thereof, and presents fairly on a pro forma basis the estimated financial position of Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at and for the twelve month period ended on December 31, 2012 assuming that the events specified in the preceding sentence had actually occurred at such date.

 

3.5                               Properties.

 

(a)                                 Generally. Each Loan Party has good title to, a license to or valid leasehold interests in, all its property material to its business, free and clear of all Liens except for Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 and, in the case of all other property, Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.2 and minor irregularities or deficiencies in title that, individually or in the aggregate, do not interfere with its ability to conduct its business as currently conducted or to utilize such property for its intended purpose in either case, except where the failure to have such title or other interest could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The property of the Loan Parties, taken as a whole, (i) is in good operating order, condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and (ii) constitutes all the property which is required for the business and operations of the Loan Parties as presently conducted.

 

(b)                                 No Recovery Event. No Loan Party has received any written notice of, nor has any knowledge of, the occurrence or pendency or contemplation of any Recovery Event affecting all or

 

44











 

any portion of its property, which Recovery Event could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                                  Collateral. No claim has been made and remains outstanding that any Loan Party’s use of any Collateral does or may violate the rights of any third party that could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.6                               Intellectual Property. Each Loan Party owns, licenses or possesses the right to use all of the trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, patents, franchises, licenses and other intellectual property rights (collectively, “IP Rights”) that are necessary for the operation of its respective business, as currently conducted, and such IP Rights do not conflict with the rights of any other Person, except to the extent such failure to own, license or possess or such conflicts, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The conduct of the business of any Loan Party as currently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted does not infringe upon or violate any rights held by any other Person except for such infringements and violations which, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened in writing which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.7                               Capital Stock and Subsidiaries. Each Loan Party has no Subsidiaries other than those set forth on Schedule 3.7. Schedule 3.7 sets forth the name and jurisdiction of incorporation of each Subsidiary and, as to each such Subsidiary, the percentage of each class of Capital Stock owned by any Loan Party. All of the outstanding Capital Stock in such Subsidiaries that are owned by a Loan Party have been validly issued, are fully paid and non-assessable (to the extent such concepts are applicable in the relevant jurisdiction) and are owned free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted pursuant to Section 6.2.

 

3.8                               Litigation; Compliance with Laws; No Default.

 

(a)                                 Except as set forth in Schedule 3.8(a), there are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by or before any Governmental Authority now pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened in writing against or affecting any Loan Party or any business, property or rights of any Loan Party (i) that involve any Loan Document or, as of the Closing Date, any of the other Transactions or (ii) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination and that, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(b)                                 Except for matters covered by Section 3.17, no Loan Party or any of its businesses, operations and Real Property is in violation of, nor will the continued operation of its businesses, operations or the facilities and properties owned, leased or operated by such Loan Party as currently conducted or contemplated by any Contractual Obligation of such Loan Party violate, any Requirements of Law where such violation or default, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(c)                                  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

(d)                                 The Borrower or any Affiliate thereof has obtained all Material Permits; all such Material Permits are valid and in good standing and, where subject to renewal and/or transfer, the Loan Parties have timely submitted complete renewal and/or transfer applications; the Borrower is currently in

 

45











 

compliance with all such Material Permits, other than any non-compliance that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)                                  No Loan Party is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.9                               Federal Reserve Regulations. No Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of buying or carrying Margin Stock (as defined in Regulation U). No part of the proceeds of any Loan will be used, whether directly or indirectly, and whether immediately, incidentally or ultimately, for any purpose that violates the provisions of Regulation T, U or X.

 

3.10                        Investment Company Act. No Loan Party is an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

3.11                        Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans to finance Capital Expenditures and for general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including the payment, within one year of the Closing Date, of a $200,000,000 dividend to the members of the Borrower (the “Dividend”).

 

3.12                        Taxes. Each Loan Party has (a) timely filed or caused to be timely filed all federal Tax Returns and all material state, local and foreign Tax Returns required to have been filed by it and all such Tax Returns are true and correct in all material respects, (b) duly and timely paid, collected or remitted or caused to be duly and timely paid, collected or remitted all Taxes (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) due and payable, collectible or remittable by it and all assessments received by it, except Taxes (i) that are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which such Loan Party has set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP or (ii) which could not, individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect and (c) satisfied all of its withholding tax obligations except for failures that could not be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Loan Party has made adequate provision in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes not yet due and payable. Each Loan Party is unaware of any proposed or pending tax assessments, deficiencies or audits that could be reasonably expected to, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

3.13                        No Material Misstatements. (a) All written information, other than projections and information of a general economic or industry specific nature, that has been made available by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, when taken as a whole, was or is correct in all material respects and did not or does not, when taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto that may have been subsequently delivered) and (b) the financial projections and other forward-looking information (giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto that may have been subsequently delivered) that have been made available by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby have been prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by such Loan Party to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being recognized that such projections are as to future events and are not to be viewed as facts, such projections are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond such Loan Party’s control, that no assurance can be given that any such projections will be

 

46











 

realized and that actual results during the period or periods covered by any such projections may differ significantly from the projected results and such differences may be material).

 

3.14                        Labor Matters. There are no strikes, lockouts or slowdowns against any Loan Party pending or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of each Loan Party have not been in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, or any other Requirement of Law dealing with such matters in any manner which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All payments due from any Loan Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such Loan Party except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The consummation of the Transactions will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound.

 

3.15                        Solvency. Immediately after the consummation of the Transactions, assuming the Dividend is paid on the Closing Date, (a) the sum of the present fair saleable value of the assets owned by the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis, on a going concern basis, is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of the Loan Parties on a consolidated basis as they become absolute and matured, the amount of contingent or unliquidated liabilities having been computed at an amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances existing at the Closing Date, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability, (b) the Loan Parties do not, on a consolidated basis, have unreasonably small capital in relation to their business and (c) the Loan Parties, on a consolidated basis, have not incurred, do not intend to incur, and do not believe they will incur, debts beyond their ability to pay such debts as such debts mature in the ordinary course of business.

 

3.16                        ERISA. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) each Loan Party (and in the case of a Pension Plan, each of their respective ERISA Affiliates) are in compliance with all applicable provisions and requirements of ERISA and the Code and other federal and state laws and the regulations and published interpretations thereunder with respect to each Plan and Pension Plan and have performed all their obligations under each Plan and Pension Plan; (b) no ERISA Event or Foreign Plan Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur; (c) each Plan which is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code has either received from the Internal Revenue Service a favorable determination letter covering such plan’s most recently completed five-year remedial amendment cycle in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2007-44, I.R.B. 2007-28, indicating that such Plan is so qualified and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue Service to be exempt from taxation or, if such Plan is a master or prototype plan, it has received a favorable opinion letter from the Internal Revenue Service or, if such Plan is a volume submitter plan, it has received a favorable advisory letter from the Internal Revenue Service and, there are no circumstances likely to result in revocation of any such letter; (d) no liability to the PBGC (other than required premium payments), the IRS, any Plan or Pension Plan or any trust established under Title IV of ERISA has been or is expected to be incurred by any Loan Party or any of their ERISA Affiliates; (e) no ERISA Event has occurred and the Borrower is not aware of any fact, event or circumstance that could reasonably be expected to constitute or result in an ERISA Event; (f) each Loan Party and each of their respective ERISA Affiliates have complied with the requirements of Section 515 of ERISA with respect to each Multiemployer Plan and are not in “default” (as defined in Section 4219(c)(5) of ERISA) with respect to payments to a Multiemployer Plan; (g) all amounts required by applicable law with respect to, or by the terms of, any retiree welfare benefit arrangement maintained by any Loan Party or to which any Loan Party has an obligation to contribute have been accrued in accordance with ASC Topic 715-60; (h) as of the most recent valuation date for each Multiemployer Plan for which the actuarial report is

 

47











 

available, no Loan Party nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates has any potential liability for a complete withdrawal from such Multiemployer Plan (within the meaning of Section 4203 of ERISA) that, when aggregated with such potential liability for a complete withdrawal from all Multiemployer Plans, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (i) there has been no Prohibited Transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules with respect to any Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; (j) neither any Loan Party nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to, or has any unsatisfied obligation to contribute to, or liability under, any active or terminated Pension Plan other than (i) on the Closing Date, those listed on Schedule 3.16 hereto and (ii) thereafter, Pension Plans not otherwise prohibited by this Agreement; and (k) the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations under each Pension Plan did not, as of the close of its most recent plan year, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such accrued benefits (determined in both cases using the applicable assumptions under Section 430 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder), and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Pension Plans did not, as of the date of the most recent financial statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of all such underfunded Pension Plans (determined in both cases using the applicable assumptions under Section 430 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder).

 

3.17                        Environmental Matters. (a) Except as set forth in Schedule 3.17, and except as could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect:

 

(i)                                     The Loan Parties and their businesses, operations and Real Property are in compliance with all and have not violated any applicable Environmental Law; and no expenditures or operational adjustments will be required during the next five years in order to comply with the applicable Environmental Laws in effect as of the date of this Agreement (including for the avoidance of doubt any requirements under such Environmental Laws that need not be satisfied until after the date of this Agreement);

 

(ii)                                  The Loan Parties possess all Environmental Permits required to conduct their business and operations in accordance with applicable Environmental Law. All such Environmental Permits are valid and in good standing and, where subject to renewal and/or transfer, the Loan Parties have timely submitted complete renewal and/or transfer applications and timely and adequately responded to any requests from any Governmental Authority in connection with such applications; and (z) there are no proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, threatened which could reasonably be expected to affect the validity of any such Environmental Permit or the ability of the Loan Parties to renew, modify or transfer any Environmental Permits as required under any Environmental Law.

Neither any Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agents under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender 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.

 

8.4          Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy or email message, statement, order 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 the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans.

 

8.5          Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders); provided that unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders.

 

81











 

8.6          Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that neither the Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to the Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, 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 investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys in fact or affiliates.

 

8.7          Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent and its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Agent Indemnitee”) (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Aggregate Exposure Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Aggregate Exposure Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by such Agent Indemnitee under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent Indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

8.8          Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity.

 

8.9          Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the

 

82











 

Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or Section 7(f) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders shall assume and 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. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 8 and of Section 9.5 shall continue to inure to its benefit.

 

8.10        Arranger. The Arranger shall not have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.

 

SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS

 

9.1          Amendments and Waivers. Neither this Agreement, any other Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.1. The Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time, (a) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (b) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that (i) no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) forgive the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any amortization payment in respect of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates (which waiver shall be effective with the consent of the Required Lenders)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, in each case without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; (B) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Lender under this Section 9.1 without the written consent of such Lender; (C) reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, release all or substantially all of the Collateral or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; (D) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 2.12 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; or (E) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 8 or any other provision of any Loan Document that affects the Administrative Agent without the written consent of the Administrative Agent, and (ii) in determining whether the requisite percentage of Lenders have consented to any amendment, modification, waiver or other action, any Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as those Lenders who are not Affiliate Lenders, except with respect to (x) any amendment, modification or other action or plan of reorganization which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender and (y) any

 

83











 

amendment, modification, waiver or other action that by its terms adversely affects any Affiliate Lender in its capacity as a Lender in a manner that differs in any material respect from, and is more adverse to such Affiliate Lender than it is to, other affected Lenders, in which case the consent of such Affiliate Lender shall be required. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower may enter into Extension Amendments in accordance with Section 2.18, and such Extension Amendments shall be effective to amend the terms of this Agreement and the other applicable Loan Documents, in each case, without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document.

 

In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended with the written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and the Lenders providing the relevant Replacement Term Loans (as defined below) to permit the refinancing, replacement or modification of all outstanding Loans of a particular Facility (“Replaced Term Loans”) with a replacement term loan tranche hereunder (“Replacement Term Loans”), provided that (a) the aggregate principal amount of such Replacement Term Loans shall not exceed the aggregate principal amount of such Replaced Term Loans, (b) the Applicable Margin for such Replacement Term Loans shall not be higher than the Applicable Margin for such Replaced Term Loans and (c) the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replacement Term Loans shall not be shorter than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Replaced Term Loans at the time of such refinancing.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, with the consent of the Borrower, may amend, modify or supplement any Loan Document without the consent of any Lender or the Required Lenders in order to correct, amend or cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or defect or correct any typographical error or other manifest error in any Loan Document.

 

Furthermore, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, each Affiliate Lender (other than a Debt Fund Affiliate) hereby agrees that, if a proceeding under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law shall be commenced by or against any Borrower or any other Loan Party at a time when such Lender is an Affiliate Lender, such Affiliate Lender irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent to vote on behalf of such Affiliate Lender with respect to the Loans held by such Affiliate Lender in any manner in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, unless the Administrative Agent instructs such Affiliate Lender to vote, in which case such Affiliate Lender shall vote with respect to the Loans held by it as the Administrative Agent directs; provided that such Affiliate Lender shall be entitled to vote in accordance with its sole discretion (and not in accordance with the direction of the Administrative Agent) in connection with any plan of reorganization to the extent any such plan of reorganization proposes to treat any such Affiliate Lender or the Obligations held by it in a manner that is less favorable in any material respect to such Affiliate Lender than the proposed treatment of similar Lenders and the Obligations held by them that are not Affiliates of any Borrower.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring the consent or approval of Required Lenders, Lenders that are Debt Fund Affiliates shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 50% of the amounts actually included in determining whether the “Required Lenders” have consented to any

 

84











 

amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action that is subject to such vote. The voting power of each Lender that is a Debt Fund Affiliate shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

 

9.2          Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three (3) Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telecopy notice, when received, addressed as follows in the case of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and as set forth in an administrative questionnaire delivered to the Administrative Agent in the case of the Lenders, or to such other address as may be hereafter notified by the respective parties hereto:

provided that any notice, request or demand to or upon the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall not be effective until received.

 

Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by the Administrative Agent; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices pursuant to Section 2 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications.

 

9.3          No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

 

9.4          Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made hereunder, in the other Loan Documents and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of the Loans and other extensions of credit hereunder.

 

9.5          Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all its reasonable and documented costs and out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of one New York firm of counsel to the Administrative Agent and one local counsel, as necessary, in each appropriate jurisdiction and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from all documentary and similar Taxes and charges in respect of the Loan Documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not the same are brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, affiliates or creditors or any other Person, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Real Property and the reasonable documented fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Loan Party under any Loan Document (all

 

86











 

the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, and provided, further, that this Section 9.5(d) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses or damages arising from any non-Tax claim. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws for any matters arising from the Transactions, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee, except to the extent such rights are asserted against an Indemnitee found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have engaged in gross negligence or willful misconduct, for claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or expenses resulting from such gross negligence or willful misconduct. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, except to the extent any such damages are found by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. All amounts due under this Section 9.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 9.5 shall be submitted to Evan Zacharias (Telephone No. (302) 634-1405) (Telecopy No. (302) 634-1417), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repayment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

 

9.6          Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section.

 

(b)           (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”), other than a natural person, all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent of:

 

(A)          the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or, if an Event of Default under Section 7(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, any other Person; and provided, further, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless the Borrower shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and

 

87




 






 

(B)                               the Administrative Agent, provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment of all or any portion of a Loan to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

 

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

 

(A)                               except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans under any Facility, the amount of the 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 $1,000,000) unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default 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)                               (1) 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 and (2) the assigning Lender shall have paid in full any amounts owing by it to the Administrative Agent; and

 

(C)                               the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire in which the Assignee designates one or more credit contacts to whom all syndicate-level information (which may contain material non-public information about the Borrower and its Affiliates and their related parties or their respective securities) will be made available and who may receive such information in accordance with the assignee’s compliance procedures and applicable laws, including Federal and state securities laws.

 

For the purposes of this Section 9.6, “Approved Fund” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

 

(iii)                               Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto 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 Sections 2.13, 2.14, 2.15 and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.6 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 paragraph (c) of this Section.

 

(iv)                              The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices 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 principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent

 

88











 

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.

 

(v)                                 Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

 

(c)                                  Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the 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 Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (i) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of Section 9.1 and (ii) directly affects such Participant. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.17 with respect to any Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (i) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 2.13 and 2.14 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (ii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 2.13 or 2.14, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from an adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.7(b) as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 9.7(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement

 

89











 

notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

 

(d)                                 Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. The Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in this paragraph (d).

 

(e)                                  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Loans to any Other Affiliate (including any Debt Fund Affiliate), but only if:

 

(i)                                     the assigning Lender and Other Affiliate purchasing such Lender’s Loans shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 hereto (an “Affiliate Lender Assignment and Assumption”) in lieu of an Assignment and Assumption;

 

(ii)                                  after giving effect to such assignment, Other Affiliates (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not, in the aggregate, own or hold Loans with an aggregate principal amount in excess of 20.0% of the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding (calculated as of the date of such purchase); and

 

(iii)                               such Other Affiliate (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall at all times thereafter be subject to the voting restrictions specified in Section 9.1.

 

(f)                                   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Lender may assign all or any portion of its Loans to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, but only if:

 

(i)                                     (x) such assignment is made pursuant to a Dutch Auction open to all Lenders on a pro rata basis or (y) such assignment is made pursuant to an open market purchase;

 

(ii)                                  no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom;

 

(iii)                               any such Loans shall be automatically and permanently cancelled immediately upon acquisition thereof by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; and

 

(iv)                              in the case of an open market purchase, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans purchased pursuant to open market purchases since the Closing Date shall not, in the aggregate, exceed 20.0% of the principal amount of all Loans then outstanding (calculated as of the date of such purchase).

 

(g)                                  (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not have any right to attend (including by telephone) any meeting or discussions (or portion thereof) among the Administrative Agent or any other Lender to which representatives of the Borrowers are not then present, (ii) Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not have any right to receive any information or material prepared by the Administrative

 

90











 

Agent or any other Lender or any communication by or among the Administrative Agent and one or more other Lenders, except to the extent such information or materials have been made available to the Borrowers or their representatives and (iii) Affiliate Lenders (other than Debt Fund Affiliates) shall not be entitled to receive advice of counsel to the Agents or other Lenders.

 

(ii)                                  Each Lender making an assignment to an Affiliate Lender acknowledges and agrees that in connection with such assignment, (1) such Affiliate Lender then may have, and later may come into possession of, information regarding the Loans or the Loan Parties hereunder that is not known to such Lender and that may be material to a decision by such Lender to assign the Loans (“Excluded Information”), (2) such Lender has independently and, without reliance on the Affiliate Lender, the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to enter into such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information and (3) none of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent, and their respective Affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information. Each Lender entering into such an assignment further acknowledges that the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders.

(a) Except to the extent that this Agreement, any Extension Amendment or a court order expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender or to the Lenders under a particular Facility, if any Lender (a “Benefitted Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it (other than in connection with an assignment made pursuant to Section 9.6), or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefitted Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

 

(b)                                 In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by the Borrower (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

(From the “Commercial Property Policy” by and among PESRM and Certain Insurers, effective as of 3/XX/2013 11:59 PM)

 

a)             Loss or damage, if any, under this Policy, shall be paid to the designated Lender, hereinafter referred to as “the Lender”, as their interests may appear, its successors and assigns in whatever form or capacity its interests may appear and whether said interest be vested in said Lender in its individual or in its disclosed or undisclosed fiduciary or representative capacity, or otherwise, or vested in a nominee or trustee of said Lender.

 

b)             The insurance under this Policy, or any rider or endorsement attached thereto, as to the interest only of the Lender, its successors and assigns, shall not be invalidated nor suspended: (a) by any error, omission, or chance respecting the ownership, description, possession, or location of the subject of the insurance or the interest therein, or the title thereto; (b) by the commencement of foreclosure proceedings or the giving of notice of sale of any of the property covered by this Policy by virtue of any mortgage or trust deed; (c) by any breach of warranty, act, omission, neglect or non-compliance with any of the

 

22











 

provisions of this Policy, including any and all riders now or hereafter attached thereto, by the Named Insured, the borrower, mortgagor, trustor, vendee, owner, tenant, warehouseman, custodian, occupant, or by the agents of either or any of them or by the happening of any event permitted by them or either of them, or their agents, or which they failed to prevent, whether occurring before or after the attachment of this clause, or whether before or after a loss, which under the provisions of this Policy of insurance or of any rider or endorsement attached thereto would invalidate or suspend the insurance as to the Named Insured, excluding herefrom, however, any acts or omissions of the Lender while exercising active control and management of the property.

 

c)              In the event of failure of the Insured to pay any premium or additional premium which shall be or become due under the terms of this Policy or on account of any change in occupancy or increase in hazard not permitted by this Policy, this Insurer agrees to give written notice to the Lender of such non-payment of premium after thirty (30) days from and within one hundred twenty (120) days after due date of such premium and it is a condition of the continuance of the rights of the Lender hereunder that the Lender when so notified in writing by this Insurer of the failure of the Insured to pay such premium shall pay or cause to be paid the premium due within ten (10) days following receipt of the Insurer’s demand in writing therefor. If the Lender shall decline to pay said premium or additional premium, the rights of the Lender under this Lender’s Loss Payable Clause shall not be terminated before ten (10) days after receipt of said written notice by the Lender.

 

d)             Whenever this Insurer shall pay to the Lender any sum for loss or damage under this Policy and shall claim that as to the Insured no liability therefor exists, this Insurer, at its option, may pay the Lender the whole principle sum and interest and other indebtedness due or to become due from the Insured, whether secured or unsecured, (with refund of all interest not accrued), and this Insurer, to the extent of such payment, shall thereupon receive a full assignment and transfer, without recourse, of the debt and all rights and securities held as collateral thereto.

 

e)              If there be any other insurance upon the within described property, this Insurer shall be liable under this Policy as to the Lender for the proportion of such loss or damage that the sum hereby insured bears to the entire insurance of similar character on said property under policies held by, payable to and expressly consented to the Lender. Any Contribution Clause included in any Fallen Building Clause Waiver or any Extended Coverage Endorsement attached to this contract of insurance is hereby nullified, and also any Contribution Clause in any other endorsement or rider attached to this contract of insurance is hereby nullified except Contribution Clauses for the compliance with which the Insured has received reduction in the rate charged or has received extension of the coverage to include hazards other than fire and compliance with such Contribution Clause is made a part of the consideration for insuring such other hazards. The Lender upon the payment to it of the full amount of its claim, will subrogate this Insurer (pro rata with all other insurers contributing to said payment) to all of the Lender’s rights of contribution under said other insurance.

 

f)               This Insurer reserves the right to cancel this Policy at any time, as provided by its terms, but in such case this Policy shall continue in force for the benefit of the Lender for ninety

 

23











 

(90) days after a written notice of such cancellation is received by the Lender and shall then cease.

 

g)              This Policy shall remain in full force and effect as to the interest of the Lender for a period of ten (10) days after its expiration unless an acceptable Policy in renewal thereof with loss thereunder payable to the Lender in accordance with the terms of this Lender’s Loss Payable Clause shall have been issued by some insurance Insurer and accepted by the Lender.

 

h)             Should legal title to and beneficial ownership of any of the property covered under this Policy become vested in the Lender or its agents, insurance under this Policy shall continue for the term thereof for the benefit of the Lender but, in such event, any privileges granted by this Lender’s Loss Payable Clause which are not also granted the Insured under the terms and conditions of this Policy and/or under other riders or endorsements attached thereto shall not apply to the insurance hereunder as respects such property.

 

i)                 All notices herein provided to be given by the Insurer to the Lender in connection with this Policy and this Lender’s Loss Payable Clause shall be mailed to or delivered to the Lender at its office or branch described on the first page of the Policy.

Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, to the extent such Instrument or item of Tangible Chattel Paper has a value in excess of $10,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors, each such Instrument and each item of Tangible Chattel Paper listed in Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate has been properly endorsed, assigned and delivered to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, if any amount then payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, and such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by any Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent exceeds $10,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors, the Grantor acquiring such Instrument or Tangible Chattel Paper, shall promptly (but in any event within five Business Days after receipt thereof) endorse, assign and deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, accompanied by such instruments of transfer or assignment duly executed in blank as the Administrative Agent may from time to time specify.

 

(b)                                 Deposit Accounts. As of the date hereof, the Grantors have no Deposit Accounts other than the accounts listed in Schedule 5 to the Perfection Certificate. The Administrative Agent has a security interest, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, in each Deposit Account specified on Schedule 5 to the Perfection Certificate hereto (behind only the liens of the ABL/SOA Agent and the Supply and Offtake Secured Party), which security interest (other than in the case of an Excluded Deposit Account or a Deposit Account that is Excluded Property) is perfected by Control by virtue of execution and delivery of a Control Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent or, prior to the ABL/SOA Termination Date, the ABL/SOA Agent (as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to each such Deposit Account. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, no Grantor shall hereafter establish or maintain, any Deposit Account (other than an Excluded Deposit Account) unless such account is with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (or an affiliate thereof) and contemporaneously with (i) the establishment thereof or (ii) in the case of any Deposit Account which ceases to qualify as an Excluded Deposit Account in accordance with the definition of “Excluded Deposit Account,” promptly after such time that such Deposit Account ceases to be an Excluded Deposit Account, such Grantor enters into a Control Agreement in favor of the Administrative Agent or, prior to the ABL/SOA Termination Date, the ABL/SOA Agent (as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) with respect to such Deposit Account. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall not give any instructions directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account (excluding Excluded Deposit Accounts) or withhold any withdrawal rights from the Grantors with respect to funds from time to time credited to any Deposit Account

 

10











 

(excluding Excluded Deposit Accounts) unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and upon the cure or waiver of such Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a notice rescinding such instructions and thereupon control of such Deposit Account shall revert to the Grantors. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Grantors shall not grant or purport to grant Control of any Deposit Account (excluding Excluded Deposit Accounts or any Deposit Account that constitutes Excluded Property) to any person other than the Administrative Agent or, prior to the ABL/SOA Termination Date, the ABL/SOA Agent (as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement).

 

(c)                                  Electronic Chattel Paper and Transferable Records. As of the date hereof, no amount under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral is evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any “transferable record” (as that term is defined in Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, or in Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction) other than such Electronic Chattel Paper and transferable records listed in Schedule 8 to the Perfection Certificate. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if at any time any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Pledged Collateral shall be evidenced by any Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record, when acquiring such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record the Grantors shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and shall take such action as the Administrative Agent or, prior to the ABL/SOA Termination Date, the ABL/SOA Agent (as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) may reasonably request to vest in the ABL/SOA Agent, as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) control of such Electronic Chattel Paper under Section 9-105 of the UCC or control under Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or, as the case may be, Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, as so in effect in such jurisdiction, of such transferable record. The requirement in the preceding sentence shall not apply to the extent that such amount, together with all amounts payable evidenced by Electronic Chattel Paper or any transferable record in which the Administrative Agent or, prior to the ABL/SOA Termination Date, the ABL/SOA Agent (as collateral agent and bailee for the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement) has not been vested control within the meaning of the statutes described in the immediately preceding sentence, does not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees with the Grantors that the Administrative Agent will arrange, pursuant to procedures reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and so long as such procedures will not result in the Administrative Agent’s (or the ABL/SOA Agent’s, as bailee and collateral agent for the Administrative Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement) loss of control, for the Grantors to make alterations to the Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record permitted under Section 9-105 of the UCC or, as the case may be, Section 201 of the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act or Section 16 of the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act for a party in control to allow without loss of control, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would occur after taking into account any action by the Grantors with respect to such Electronic Chattel Paper or transferable record.

 

11











 

(d)                                 Letter-of-Credit Rights. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if any Grantor is at any time a beneficiary under a Letter of Credit that is Pledged Collateral now or hereafter issued, the Grantors shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent thereof and the Grantors shall, at the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, either (i) arrange for the issuer and any confirmer of such Letter of Credit to consent to an assignment to the Administrative Agent of the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit or (ii) arrange for the Administrative Agent to become the transferee beneficiary of such Letter of Credit, with the Administrative Agent agreeing, in each case, that the proceeds of any drawing under the Letter of Credit are to be applied as provided in the Intercreditor Agreement. The actions in the preceding sentence shall not be required to the extent that the amount of any such Letter of Credit, together with the aggregate amount of all other Letters of Credit for which the actions described above in clauses (i) and (ii) have not been taken, does not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all Grantors.

 

(e)                                  Pledged Equity Interests.

 

(i)                                     Percentage Pledged Equity Interests. Each Grantor will cause the Pledged Equity Interests constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to constitute at all times 100% of the total number of Equity Interests of each Issuer then outstanding directly owned by such Grantor.

 

(ii)                                  Delivery and Other Perfection. Each Grantor, and without limiting its obligations under Section 3.4, shall:

 

(A)                               if any of the Pledged Equity Interests constituting part of the Collateral are received by such Grantor, forthwith (i) deliver to the Administrative Agent the certificates or instruments representing or evidencing the same (if any), duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by such instruments of assignment and transfer in such form and substance as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all of which thereafter shall be held by the Administrative Agent, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, as part of the Pledged Collateral and (ii) take such other action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to duly record or otherwise perfect the security interest created hereunder in such Pledged Equity Interests (and each Grantor agrees that the Administrative Agent may from time to time attach as Schedule 7 of the Perfection Certificate an updated list of the Pledged Equity Interests reflecting the addition of such Pledged Equity Interests);

 

(B)                               promptly from time to time enter into such control agreements, each in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, as may be required to perfect the security interest created hereby in the Pledged Equity Interests, and will promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent executed copies thereof;

 

12











 

(C)                               to the extent that any Pledged Equity Interests are represented by Certificated Securities, keep full and accurate books and records relating to the Pledged Equity Interests, and stamp or otherwise mark such books and records in such manner as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require in order to reflect the security interests granted by this Agreement; and

 

(D)                               only with respect to Grantors other than the Borrower, agrees to comply with the obligations set forth in Section 5.6(b) of the Credit Agreement, as if it were set forth herein mutatis mutandis.

 

(iii)                               Voting Rights; Dividends.

 

(A)                               Voting Rights. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall have the right to exercise all voting, consensual and other powers of ownership pertaining to the Pledged Equity Interests for any purpose permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents; provided that no such vote shall be cast or such power exercised, and no consent, waiver or ratification shall be given by such Grantor, if in any such case the effect thereof would be to materially impair any of the Pledged Equity Interests or would be in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to each Grantor or cause to be executed and delivered to such Grantor all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend and other orders, and all such instruments, without recourse, as such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the rights and powers that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to this Section.

 

(B)                               Dividends, Etc. Unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any dividends, distributions or proceeds in respect of the Pledged Equity Interests. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, whether or not the Secured Parties or any of them exercise any available right to declare any Obligations due and payable or seek or pursue any other relief or remedy available to them under applicable law or under this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other agreement relating to such Obligation, upon request of the Administrative Agent, all dividends and distributions on the Pledged Equity Interests shall be paid directly to the Administrative Agent and retained by it as part of the Pledged Collateral, subject to the terms of this Agreement, and, if the Administrative Agent shall so request in writing, each Grantor agrees to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent appropriate additional dividend, distribution and other orders and documents to that end, provided that if such Event of Default is cured, any such dividend or distribution theretofore paid to the Administrative Agent shall, upon request of such Grantor (except to the extent theretofore applied to the Obligations), be returned by the Administrative Agent to such Grantor.

 

SECTION 3.3                     Joinder of Additional Guarantors. The Grantors shall cause each of their Subsidiaries (other than an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary) that, from

 

13











 

time to time after the date hereof, shall be required to pledge any assets to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to the provisions of the Credit Agreement and to the extent required thereby, to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (i) a Joinder Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 hereto and (ii) a Perfection Certificate, in each case, within thirty (30) days of the date on which it was acquired or created, and upon such execution and delivery, such Subsidiary shall constitute a “Guarantor” and a “Grantor”, for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor and Grantor herein. The execution and delivery of such Joinder Agreement shall not require the consent of the Grantors hereunder. The rights and obligations of the other Grantors hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Guarantor and Grantor as a party to this Agreement.

 

SECTION 3.4                     Supplements; Further Assurances. Subject to the proviso in Section 3.1, the Grantors shall take such further actions, and execute and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent such additional financing statements, amendments, assignments, agreements, supplements, powers and instruments, as the Administrative Agent may in its reasonable judgment deem necessary or appropriate in order to create, perfect, preserve and protect the Lien on the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and the rights and interests granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, to carry into effect the purposes hereof or better to assure and confirm the validity, enforceability and priority of the Administrative Agent’s Lien on the Pledged Collateral or, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, permit the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights, powers and remedies hereunder with respect to any Pledged Collateral, including the filing of financing statements, continuation statements and other documents (including this Agreement) under the Uniform Commercial Code (or other similar laws) in effect in any jurisdiction with respect to the security interest created hereby and the execution and delivery of Control Agreements, all in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and in such offices wherever required by law to perfect, continue and maintain the validity, enforceability and priority of the Lien on the Pledged Collateral as provided herein and to preserve the other rights and interests granted to the Administrative Agent hereunder, as against third parties, with respect to the Pledged Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Grantors shall make, execute, endorse, acknowledge, file or refile and/or deliver to the Administrative Agent from time to time upon reasonable request by the Administrative Agent such lists, schedules, descriptions and designations of the Pledged Collateral, copies of warehouse receipts, receipts in the nature of warehouse receipts, bills of lading, documents of title, vouchers, invoices, schedules, confirmatory assignments, supplements, additional security agreements, conveyances, financing statements, transfer endorsements, powers of attorney, certificates, reports and other assurances or instruments as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may institute and maintain, in its own name or in the name of the Grantors, such suits and proceedings as the Administrative Agent may be advised by counsel as being necessary, desirable or expedient to prevent any impairment of the Lien on or the perfection thereof in the Pledged Collateral. All of the foregoing shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors.

ARTICLE IV

 

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

 

Each Grantor represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

 

SECTION 4.1                     Title. Except for the Lien granted to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties pursuant to this Agreement and Permitted Liens, each Grantor owns and has rights and, as to Pledged Collateral acquired by it from time to time after the date hereof, will own and have rights in, each item of Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder, free and clear of any and all Liens or claims. For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that any Grantor may, as part of its business, grant licenses to third parties to use Intellectual Property owned or developed by a Grantor. For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such licensing activity shall not constitute a “Lien” on such Intellectual Property. Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender understands that any such licenses may be exclusive to the applicable licensees, and such exclusivity provisions may limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to utilize, sell, lease or transfer the related Intellectual Property or otherwise realize value from such Intellectual Property pursuant hereto.

 

SECTION 4.2                     Validity of Security Interest. The Lien on the Pledged Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties hereunder constitutes and will at all times constitute (a) a legal and valid Lien on all the Pledged Collateral securing the payment and performance of the Obligations, and (b) subject to the filings and other actions described in Schedule 4 to the Perfection Certificate (to the extent required to be listed on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate as of the date this representation is made or deemed made), and subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, (i) a perfected first priority Lien on all Pledged Collateral that is Term Loan Priority Collateral, subject only to Permitted Liens, and (ii) a Lien on all Pledged Collateral that is ABL/SOA Priority Collateral (behind only the liens securing the ABL/SOA Secured Obligations (as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement)), subject only to Permitted Liens (in each case, to the extent such Lien can be perfected by such filings and other actions that are required pursuant to Section 2.2).

 

SECTION 4.3                     Defense of Claims; Transferability of Pledged Collateral. The Grantors shall, at their own cost and expense, defend title to the Pledged Collateral pledged by it hereunder and the security interest therein and Lien thereon granted to the Administrative Agent and the priority thereof against all claims and demands of all persons, at its own cost and expense, at any time claiming any interest therein adverse to the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party other than Permitted Liens.

 

SECTION 4.4                     Other Financing Statements. It has not filed, and has not authorized any third party to file, any valid or effective financing statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) covering or purporting to cover any interest of any kind in the Pledged Collateral, except such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or in favor of any holder of a Permitted Lien with respect to such Permitted Lien or financing statements or public notices relating to the termination statements listed on Schedule 10 to the Perfection Certificate. The Grantors shall not execute, authorize or permit to be filed in any public office any financing

 

15











 

statement (or similar statement, instrument of registration or public notice under the law of any jurisdiction) relating to any Pledged Collateral, except financing statements and other statements and instruments filed or to be filed in respect of and covering the security interests granted by the Grantors to the holder of the Permitted Liens.

 

SECTION 4.5                     Chief Executive Office; Change of Name; Jurisdiction of Organization. (a) Such Grantor will not, except upon 15 days’ (or such later time as agreed to by the Administrative Agent) prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of all additional duly authorized and, where required, executed financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein, (i) change its jurisdiction of organization or the location of its chief executive office or principal place of business from that referred to on Schedule 2(a) or 2(c) to the Perfection Certificate or (ii) change its name.

 

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent may rely on advice of counsel as to whether any or all UCC financing statements of the Grantors need to be amended as a result of any of the changes described in clause (a) above. If the Grantors fail to provide information to the Administrative Agent about such changes on a timely basis, the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible to any party for any failure to maintain a perfected Lien on the Grantors’ property constituting Pledged Collateral, for which the Administrative Agent needed to have information relating to such changes. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to inquire about such changes if the Grantors do not inform the Administrative Agent of such changes, the parties acknowledging and agreeing that it would not be feasible or practical for the Administrative Agent to search for information on such changes if such information is not provided by the Grantors.

 

SECTION 4.6                     Location of Inventory and Equipment. On the date hereof, the Inventory and Equipment (other than mobile goods) are kept at the locations listed in the relevant Schedules to the Perfection Certificate.

SECTION 4.7                     Consents, etc. In the event that the Administrative Agent desires to exercise any remedies, voting or consensual rights or attorney-in-fact powers set forth in this Agreement and determines it necessary to obtain any approvals or consents of any Governmental Authority or any other person therefor, then, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, the Grantors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist and aid

 

16











 

the Administrative Agent to obtain as soon as practicable any necessary approvals or consents for the exercise of any such remedies, rights and powers.

 

SECTION 4.8                     Pledged Collateral. All information set forth herein, including the schedules hereto, and all information contained in any documents, schedules and lists heretofore delivered to any Secured Party, including the Perfection Certificate and the schedules thereto, in connection with this Agreement, in each case, relating to the Pledged Collateral, is accurate and complete in all material respects for the purposes for which it was delivered. The Pledged Collateral described on the schedules to the Perfection Certificate constitutes all of the property of such type of Pledged Collateral required to be so scheduled and owned or held by the Grantors.

 

SECTION 4.9                     Trademarks. (a) Schedule 9(a) to the Perfection Certificate lists all Trademark applications and registrations owned by such Grantor in its own name on the date hereof.

 

(b)                                 On the date hereof, to such Grantor’s knowledge all material Trademarks are valid, subsisting, unexpired and enforceable, have not been abandoned and do not infringe in any material respect the intellectual property rights of any other Person.

 

(c)                                  Except as set forth in Schedule 9(b) to the Perfection Certificate, on the date hereof, none of the Trademarks are the subject of any licensing or franchise agreement pursuant to which such Grantor is the licensor or franchisor.

 

(d)                                 No holding, decision or judgment has been rendered by any Governmental Authority which would limit, cancel or question the validity of, or such Grantor’s rights in, any Trademark in any respect that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(e)                                  No action or proceeding is pending, or, to the knowledge of such Grantor, threatened in writing, on the date hereof (i) seeking to limit, cancel or question the validity of any Trademark or such Grantor’s ownership interest therein, or (ii) which, if adversely determined, would have an adverse effect on the value of any Trademark, except in each case as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(f)                                   Such Grantor (either itself or through licensees) will (i) continue to use each material Trademark in a manner consistent with the use thereof as of the date of this Agreement, except for any change in such manner in the ordinary course of business, (ii) maintain the quality of products and services offered under such Trademark in a manner consistent with such quality as of the date of this Agreement, and (iii) use such Trademark with notices of registration and other notices and legends in a manner consistent with such use as of the date of this Agreement except in each case of the foregoing (i) through (iii) as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(g)                                  Such Grantor will notify the Administrative Agent if it knows, or has reason to know, that any application or registration relating to any material Trademark may become forfeited, abandoned or dedicated to the public, or of any adverse determination or development (including any such determination or development in any proceeding in the United

 

17









 

States Patent and Trademark Office) regarding such Grantor’s ownership of, or right to register or use such Trademark.

 

(h)                                 Whenever such Grantor, either by itself or through any agent, employee, licensee or designee, shall file an application for the registration of any Trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, such Grantor shall report such filing to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after the last day of the fiscal quarter in which such filing occurs. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor shall execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments and documents as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence and perfect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Trademark.

 

(i)                                     In the event that any material Trademark is infringed, misappropriated or diluted by a third party, such Grantor shall take such actions as such Grantor shall reasonably deem appropriate under the circumstances to protect such Trademark.

 

SECTION 4.10                                        Pledged Equity Interests.

As of the date hereof, the Pledged Equity Interests with respect to each Grantor constitute 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of each Subsidiary of the Borrower that are required to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and are directly owned by such Grantor on the date hereof. As of the date hereof, each Grantor hereby represents and warrants that none of the limited liability company interests or limited partnership interests of any Subsidiary in which a security interest is granted by such Grantor hereunder are or represent interests in Issuers that (i) are registered investment companies, (ii) are dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or markets or (iii) are issued by an Issuer that has opted to have them treated as securities under the Uniform Commercial Code of any jurisdiction.

 

(b)                                 The Pledged Equity Interests listed on Schedule 7 to the Perfection Certificate are, and all other Pledged Equity Interests in which such Grantor shall hereafter grant a security interest pursuant to Section 2.1 will be, (i) duly authorized, validly existing, fully paid and non-assessable (in the case of any shares issued by a corporation) and (ii) duly issued and outstanding (in the case of any equity interest in any other entity), and none of such Pledged Equity Interests are or will be subject to any contractual restriction, or any restriction under the charter, by-laws, or other organizational instrument of the respective Issuer, of any nature that might prohibit, impair, delay or otherwise affect the pledge of such Pledged Collateral hereunder, the sale or disposition thereof pursuant hereto or the exercise by the Administrative Agent of rights and remedies hereunder (except for any such restriction contained herein or in the Credit Agreement or permitted thereunder).

REMEDIES

 

SECTION 7.1                            Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may from time to time, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, the following remedies:

 

(i)                                     Personally, or by agents or attorneys, immediately take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, from the Grantors or any other person who then has possession of any part thereof with or without notice or process of law, and for that purpose may enter upon the Grantors’ premises where any of the Pledged Collateral is located, remove such Pledged Collateral, remain present at such premises to receive copies of all communications and remittances relating to the Pledged Collateral and use such communications and remittances and any and all services, supplies, aids and other facilities of the Grantors in connection with such removal and possession;

 

(ii)                                  Demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable in respect of the Pledged Collateral including instructing the obligor or obligors on any agreement, instrument or other obligation constituting part of the Pledged Collateral to make any payment required by the terms of such agreement, instrument or other obligation directly to the Administrative Agent, and in connection with any of the foregoing, compromise, settle, extend the time for payment and make other modifications with respect thereto; provided, however, that in the event that any such payments are made directly to the Grantors, prior to receipt by any such obligor of such instruction, the Grantors shall segregate all amounts received pursuant thereto in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall promptly (but in no event later than one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) pay such amounts to the Administrative Agent;

 

(iii)                               Sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, or direct the Grantors to sell, assign, grant a license to use or otherwise liquidate, any and all investments made in whole or in part with the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment, license or liquidation;

 

(iv)                              Take possession of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, by directing the Grantors in writing to deliver the same to the Administrative Agent at any place or

 

20











 

places so designated by the Administrative Agent, in which event the Grantors shall at their own expense: (a) forthwith cause the same to be moved to the place or places designated by the Administrative Agent and therewith delivered to the Administrative Agent, (b) store and keep any Pledged Collateral so delivered to the Administrative Agent at such place or places pending further action by the Administrative Agent and (c) while the Pledged Collateral shall be so stored and kept, provide such security and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain them in good condition. The Grantors’ obligation to deliver the Pledged Collateral as contemplated in this Section 7.1(iv) is of the essence hereof. Upon application to a court of equity having jurisdiction, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to a decree requiring specific performance by the Grantors of such an obligation;

 

(v)                                 Withdraw all moneys, instruments, securities and other property in any bank, financial securities, deposit or other account of the Grantors constituting Pledged Collateral for application to the Obligations as provided in Article VIII hereof;

 

(vi)                              Exercise any and all rights as beneficial and legal owner of the Pledged Collateral, including perfecting assignment of and exercising any and all other rights and powers with respect to any Pledged Collateral;

 

(vii)                           Exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC, and the Administrative Agent may also in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified in Section 7.2 hereof, sell, assign or grant a license to use the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange, broker’s board or at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices and upon such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party or any of their respective Affiliates may be the purchaser, licensee, assignee or recipient of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof at any such sale and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, for the purpose of bidding and making settlement or payment of the purchase price for all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral sold, assigned or licensed at such sale, to use and apply any of the Obligations owed to such person as a credit on account of the purchase price of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof payable by such person at such sale. Each purchaser, assignee, licensee or recipient at any such sale shall acquire the property sold, assigned or licensed absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Grantors, and the Grantors hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Grantors hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims against the Administrative Agent arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof may have been sold, assigned or licensed at such a private sale was less than the price which might have been

 

21











 

obtained at a public sale, even if the Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer such Pledged Collateral to more than one offeree;

 

(viii)                        the Administrative Agent may require such Grantor to cause the Pledged Equity Interests to be transferred of record into the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee (and the Administrative Agent agrees that if any of such Pledged Equity Interests is transferred into its name or the name of its nominee, the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly give to such Grantor copies of any notices and communications received by it with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests);

 

(ix)                              the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may send to each bank, securities intermediary or issuer party to any Control Agreement a “Notice of Exclusive Control” as defined in and under such agreement or any other similar notice; and

 

(x)                                 exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Receivables and the other Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC.

 

The Administrative Agent acknowledges that, in connection with any exercise of remedies pursuant to this Section 7.1, it is subject to all applicable Requirements of Law (including Environmental Laws.

 

(b)                                 Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs each Issuer of any Pledged Equity Interests pledged by such Grantor hereunder to (i) comply with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (x) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (y) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or further instructions from such Grantor, and each Grantor agrees that each Issuer shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged Equity Interests directly to the Administrative Agent; provided that, the Administrative Agent shall not take any such action referred to in this clause (b) unless, subject to the Intercreditor Agreement, an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

 

SECTION 7.2                               Notice of Sale. Each Grantor acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent notice of sale or other disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be required by law, ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Grantors of the time and place of any public sale or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to take place shall be commercially reasonable notification of such matters. No notification need be given to the Grantors if they have signed, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, a statement renouncing or modifying any right to notification of sale or other intended disposition.

 

SECTION 7.3                               Waiver of Notice and Claims. Each of the Grantors hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, notice or judicial hearing in connection with the Administrative Agent’s taking possession or the Administrative Agent’s disposition of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, including any and all prior notice and hearing for any prejudgment remedy or

 

22











 

remedies and any such right that such Grantor would otherwise have under law, and each of the Grantors hereby further waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, (i) all damages occasioned by such taking of possession, (ii) all other requirements as to the time, place and terms of sale or other requirements with respect to the enforcement of the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder and (iii) all rights of redemption, appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or moratorium now or hereafter in force under any applicable law. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any incorrect or improper payment made pursuant to this Article VII in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Administrative Agent. Any sale of, or the grant of options to purchase, or any other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral shall operate to divest all right, title, interest, claim and demand, either at law or in equity, of the Grantors therein and thereto, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against the Grantors and against any and all persons claiming or attempting to claim the Pledged Collateral so sold, optioned or realized upon, or any part thereof, from, through or under the Grantors.

 

SECTION 7.4                               Certain Sales of Pledged Collateral.

 

(a)                                 Each of the Grantors recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in law, rules, regulations or orders of any Governmental Authority, the Administrative Agent may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who meet the requirements of such Governmental Authority. Each of the Grantors acknowledges that any such sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Administrative Agent than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such restricted sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that, except as may be required by applicable law, the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales.

 

(b)                                 Each of the Grantors further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 7.4 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.4 is specifically enforceable against the Grantors. Each of the Grantors agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants, except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and any right to assert such other defenses is hereby waived by such Grantor. Each of the Grantors shall reimburse the Secured Parties upon demand for the costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, transfer taxes and any other charges) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with any sale, disposition, repair, replacement, alteration, addition, improvement or retention of any Pledged Collateral hereunder.

 

SECTION 7.5                               No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

 

(a)                                 No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent to exercise, no course of dealing with respect to, and no delay on the part of the Administrative Agent in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, privilege or remedy; nor shall the Administrative Agent be required to look first to, enforce or exhaust any other security,

 

23











 

collateral or guaranties. All rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law or otherwise available.

 

(b)                                 In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have instituted any proceeding to enforce any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by foreclosure, sale, entry or otherwise, and such proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason shall have been determined adversely to the Administrative Agent, then and in every such case, the Grantors, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder with respect to the Pledged Collateral, and all rights, remedies, privileges and powers of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

(c)                                  This Agreement and the Liens on the Pledged Collateral shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Grantors in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise. Each of the Grantors agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, and its employees, directors, officers and agents on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, costs and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties or their respective its employees, directors, officers and agents in connection with such reinstatement, rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

 

SECTION 7.6                                Deficiency. If the proceeds of, or other realization upon, the Pledged Collateral by virtue of the exercise of remedies under this Article VII are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such exercise and the payment in full of the Obligations, the Grantors shall remain liable for any deficiency.

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 9.1                                 Concerning the Administrative Agent.

 

(a)                                 The Administrative Agent has been appointed as administrative agent pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The actions of the Administrative Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall have the right hereunder to make demands, to give notices, to exercise or refrain from exercising any rights, and to take or refrain from taking action (including the release or substitution of the Pledged Collateral), in accordance with this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Administrative Agent may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. The Administrative Agent may resign and a successor Administrative Agent may be appointed in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as the Administrative Agent by a successor Administrative Agent, that successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under this Agreement, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation, the provisions hereof shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it under this Agreement while it was the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent, in its individual capacity, accords its own property consisting of similar property, instruments or interests, it being understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Secured Parties shall have responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any person with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

 

(c)                                  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notice, statement, certificate, order or other document or any telephone message believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and, with

 

25











 

respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement and its duties hereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by it.

 

(d)                                 If any item of Pledged Collateral also constitutes collateral granted to the Administrative Agent under any other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type, in the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and the provisions of such other deed of trust, mortgage, security agreement, pledge or instrument of any type in respect of such collateral, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

SECTION 9.2                             Administrative Agent May Perform; Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. If the Grantors fail to perform any covenants contained in this Agreement and such failure results in an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) do the same or cause it to be done or remedy any such breach, and may expend funds for such purpose; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall in no event be bound to inquire into the validity of any tax, Lien, imposition or other obligation that the Grantors fail to pay or perform as and when required hereby and that the Grantors do not contest in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The Grantors shall pay any and all amounts so expended by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement. Neither the provisions of this Section 9.2 nor any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.2 shall prevent any such failure to observe any covenant contained in this Agreement nor any breach of representation or warranty from constituting an Event of Default. The Grantors hereby appoint the Administrative Agent their attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority in the place and stead of the Grantors and in the name of the Grantors, or otherwise, from time to time during the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument consistent with the terms of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement and the other Security Documents which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, including, in the case of any Trademarks, execute and deliver, and have recorded, any and all agreements, instruments, documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may request to evidence the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interest in such Trademarks and the goodwill and the general intangibles of such Grantor relating thereto or represented thereby (but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall have no liability to the Grantors or any third party for failure to so do or take action). The foregoing grant of authority is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and such appointment shall be irrevocable for the term hereof. The Grantors hereby ratify all that such attorney shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof.

 

SECTION 9.3                               Continuing Security Interest; Assignment. This Agreement shall create a continuing Lien on the Pledged Collateral and (i) shall be binding upon the Grantors, their respective successors and assigns and (ii) inures, together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and each of their respective successors, transferees and permitted assigns. No other persons (including any other creditor of the Grantors) have any interest herein or any right or benefit with respect hereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (ii), any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer any indebtedness held by it secured by this Agreement to any other person, and such other person shall thereupon become vested with

 

26











 

all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Secured Party, herein or otherwise, subject however, to the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

 

SECTION 9.4                                 Termination; Release. When all the Obligations have been paid in full (other than those expressly stated to survive such payment in full), this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement or upon any sale, transfer or other disposition of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in a transaction or series of transactions not prohibited by the provisions of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, upon any Pledged Collateral becoming property of an Excluded Subsidiary or a Foreign Subsidiary), the Pledged Collateral (or any part thereof) shall automatically be released from the Lien of this Agreement and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. Upon such release or any such sale, transfer or disposition of Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, the Administrative Agent shall, upon the request and at the sole cost and expense of the Grantors, assign, transfer and deliver to the Grantors, against receipt and without recourse to or warranty by the Administrative Agent except as to the fact that the Administrative Agent has not encumbered the released assets, such of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof to be released (in the case of a release) as may be in possession of the Administrative Agent and as have been sold or otherwise applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and, with respect to any other Pledged Collateral, proper documents and instruments (including UCC-3 termination financing statements or releases) acknowledging the termination hereof or the release of such Pledged Collateral, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 9.5                                 Modification in Writing. No amendment, modification, supplement, termination or waiver of or to any provision hereof, nor consent to any departure by the Grantors therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be made in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent. Any amendment, modification or supplement of or to any provision hereof, any waiver of any provision hereof and any consent to any departure by the Grantors from the terms of any provision hereof in each case shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given. Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement or any other document evidencing the Obligations, no notice to or demand on the Grantors in any case shall entitle the Grantors to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

 

SECTION 9.6                                  Notices. Unless otherwise provided herein or in the Credit Agreement, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be given in the manner and become effective as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as to the Grantors, addressed to it at the address of the Grantors set forth in Section 4.2 of the Guarantee Agreement and as to the Administrative Agent, addressed to it at the address set forth in the Credit Agreement, or in each case at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to the other party complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 9.6.

 

SECTION 9.7                                 Governing Law, Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. Sections 9.11, 9.12 and 9.16 of the Credit Agreement are incorporated herein, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth herein in their entirety.

 

27









 

SECTION 9.8                                   Severability of Provisions. Any provision hereof which is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

SECTION 9.9                                    Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of a counterpart by electronic means shall be effective as manual delivery thereof.

 

SECTION 9.10                             Business Days. In the event any time period or any date provided in this Agreement ends or falls on a day other than a Business Day, then such time period shall be deemed to end and such date shall be deemed to fall on the next succeeding Business Day, and performance herein may be made on such Business Day, with the same force and effect as if made on such other day.

 

SECTION 9.11                             No Credit for Payment of Taxes or Imposition. No Grantor shall be entitled to any credit against the principal, premium, if any, or interest payable under the Credit Agreement, and no Grantor shall be entitled to any credit against any other sums that may become payable under the terms thereof or hereof, by reason of the payment of any Tax on the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof.

 

SECTION 9.12                             No Claims Against Administrative Agent. Nothing contained in this Agreement constitutes any consent or request by the Administrative Agent, express or implied, for the performance of any labor or services or the furnishing of any materials or other property in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof, nor as giving the Grantors 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 Administrative Agent in respect thereof or any claim that any Lien based on the performance of such labor or services or the furnishing of any such materials or other property is prior to the Lien hereof.

 

SECTION 9.13                              No Release. Nothing set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of the rights or remedies hereunder, shall relieve the Grantors from the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Grantors’ part to be performed or observed under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral or from any liability to any person under or in respect of any of the Pledged Collateral; or shall impose any obligation on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to perform or observe any such term, covenant, condition or agreement on the Grantors’ part to be so performed or observed; or shall impose any liability on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for any act or omission on the part of the Grantors relating thereto or for any breach of any representation or warranty on the part of the Grantors contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or under or in respect of the Pledged Collateral or made in connection herewith or therewith. Anything herein to the contrary

 

28











 

notwithstanding, neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under any contracts, agreements and other documents included in the Pledged Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Grantors thereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any such contract, agreement or other document included in the Pledged Collateral hereunder. The obligations of the Grantors contained in this Section 9.13 shall survive the termination hereof and the discharge of the Grantors’ other obligations under this Agreement, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

SECTION 9.14                               Obligations Absolute. All obligations of the Grantors hereunder are absolute and unconditional irrespective of:

 

(i)                                     any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any Specified Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document;

 

(ii)                                  any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement, any Specified Swap Agreement or any other Loan Document;

(b)                                 The meanings given to terms defined herein shall be equally applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms.

 

SECTION 2.                            GUARANTEE

 

2.1                               The Guarantee. The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantee, as a primary obligor and not as a surety to each Secured Party and their respective successors and assigns, the prompt payment in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, demand, by acceleration or otherwise) of the principal of and interest on (including any interest, fees, costs or charges that would accrue but for the provisions of the Title 11 of the United States Code or any other insolvency

 

2











 

laws (the “Bankruptcy Code”) after any bankruptcy or insolvency petition under the Bankruptcy Code) the Loans made by the Lenders to, and the Notes held by each Lender of, the Borrower, and all other Secured Obligations from time to time owing to the Secured Parties by any Loan Party under any Loan Document or Specified Swap Agreement entered into with a counterparty that is a Secured Party, whether or not enforceable as against the Borrower, whether now or hereafter existing, and whether due or to become due, including principal, interest (including interest at the contract rate applicable upon default accrued or accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code, or any applicable provisions of comparable state or foreign law, whether or not such interest is an allowed claim in such proceeding), fees and costs of collection, in each case, strictly in accordance with the terms thereof (such obligations being herein collectively called the “Guaranteed Obligations”). The Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that if the Borrower or other Loan Party(ies) shall fail to pay in full when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Loan Parties will promptly pay the same in cash, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

 

2.2                               Rights of Secured Parties. Each Guarantor agrees that any Secured Party, upon such terms as it deems appropriate, without notice or demand to or on any person and without affecting the validity or enforceability hereof or giving rise to any reduction, limitation, impairment, discharge or termination of any Guarantor’s liability hereunder, from time to time may, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (i) renew, extend, accelerate, increase the rate of interest on, or otherwise change the time, place, manner or terms of payment of any Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) settle, compromise, release or discharge, or accept or refuse any offer of performance with respect to, or substitutions for, any Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement relating thereto and/or subordinate the payment of the same to the payment of any other obligations; (iii) request and accept other guaranties of any Guaranteed Obligations and take and hold security for the payment hereof or any Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) release, surrender, exchange, substitute, compromise, settle, rescind, waive, alter, subordinate or modify, with or without consideration, any security for payment of any Guaranteed Obligations, any other guaranties of any Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligation of any person (including any other Guarantor) with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) enforce and apply any security now or hereafter held by or for the benefit of such Secured Party in respect hereof or any Guaranteed Obligations and direct the order or manner of sale thereof, or exercise any other right or remedy that such Secured Party may have against any such security, in each case as such Secured Party in its discretion may determine consistent with the applicable Loan Document or the applicable Specified Swap Agreement and any applicable security agreement, including foreclosure on any such security pursuant to one or more judicial or non-judicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable, and even though such action operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of any Guarantor against the Borrower or any security for its Guaranteed Obligations; and (vi) exercise any other rights available to it under the Loan Documents and any Specified Swap Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not affect the right of any Loan Party to consent to any amendment, modification or waiver to any Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

2.3                               Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 2.1 shall constitute a guarantee of payment and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Requirements of Law, are absolute, irrevocable and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable

 

3











 

discharge or defense of a surety or Loan Party (except for payment in full or an amendment or waiver adopted in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantors hereunder which shall remain absolute, irrevocable and unconditional under any and all circumstances as described above:

 

(a)                                 at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

 

(b)                                 any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of this Agreement or the Notes, if any, or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be done or omitted;

 

(c)                                  the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be amended in any respect, or any right under the Loan Documents, any Specified Swap Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein shall be amended or waived in any respect or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor shall be released or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

 

(d)                                 any Lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected; or

 

(e)                                  the release of any other Loan Party pursuant to Section 2.10, Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement or Section 9.14 of the Credit Agreement.

 

The Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that any Secured Party exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein or therein, or against any other person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations. The Guarantors waive (i) any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, waiver, termination or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party upon this Guarantee or acceptance of this Guarantee, and the Guaranteed Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Guarantee, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Secured Parties shall likewise be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guarantee, (ii) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any Guarantor including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrower or any other Guarantor from any cause other than payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than any Unasserted Contingent Obligations), and (iii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal. This Guarantee shall be construed as a continuing, absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to any right of offset with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations at any time or from time to time held by Secured Parties, and the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit by the Secured Parties or any other person at any time of any right or remedy against the Borrower or against any other person which may be or become liable in respect of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or against any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and be binding in accordance with and to the extent of its terms upon the Guarantors and the successors and assigns thereof, and shall inure to the benefit of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns,

 

4











 

notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of this Agreement there may be no Guaranteed Obligations outstanding until payment in full thereof (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations, or any amendment or waiver adopted in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement or any other express provision set forth in a Loan Document).

 

2.4                               Reinstatement. The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 2 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or other Loan Party in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise.

 

2.5                               Subrogation; Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that, until the payment and satisfaction in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations) and the expiration and termination of the Commitments of the Lenders under this Agreement, it shall waive any claim and shall not exercise any right or remedy, direct or indirect, arising by reason of any performance by it of its guarantee in Section 2.1, whether by subrogation or otherwise, against the Borrower or any other Loan Party of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any Indebtedness of any Guarantor permitted pursuant to Section 6.1(b) of the Credit Agreement shall be subordinated to such Guarantor’s Secured Obligations in the manner set forth in the intercompany note evidencing such Indebtedness.

 

2.6                               Remedies. Subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, the Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Guarantors and the Lenders, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes, if any, may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 7 of the Credit Agreement) for purposes of Section 2.1, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 2.1.

 

2.7                               Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 2 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring a motion-action under New York CPLR Section 3213.

 

2.8                               Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 2 is a continuing guarantee of payment, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.

 

2.9                               General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any state corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company law, or any applicable state, federal or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Guarantor under Section 2.1 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, voidable, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 2.1, then, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Guarantor, any other Loan Party or any other person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount (after giving effect to the right of contribution established in Section 2.11) that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

 

5











 

2.10                        Release of Loan Parties. If, in compliance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents, all of the Capital Stock of any Guarantor are sold or otherwise transferred (a “Transferred Guarantor”) to a person or persons, none of which is the Borrower, a Guarantor or an Affiliate thereof, such Transferred Guarantor shall, upon the consummation of such sale or transfer, be automatically released from its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 9.5of the Credit Agreement) and its obligations to pledge and grant any Collateral owned by it pursuant to any Security Document shall be automatically released, and, so long as the Borrower shall have provided the Administrative Agent such reasonable certifications or reasonable documents as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, the Administrative Agent shall take such actions as are necessary or reasonably requested by the Borrower to effect each release described in this Section 2.10 in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Security Documents.

 

2.11                        Right of Contribution. Each Guarantor hereby agrees that to the extent that a Guarantor shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Guarantor shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Guarantor hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Each Guarantor’s right of contribution shall be subject to the terms and conditions of Section 2.5. The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall in no respect limit the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and each Guarantor shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full amount of the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

2.12                        Default; Remedies; Bankruptcy; Etc. (a) The Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder are independent of and separate from the Obligations of such Guarantor. If any Obligation of the Borrower is not paid when due, or upon any Event of Default hereunder or upon any default by the Borrower as provided in any other Loan Document or Specified Swap Agreement, the Administrative Agent may, at its sole election, proceed directly and at once, without notice, against any Guarantor to collect and recover the full amount or any portion of the Obligations of the Borrower then due, without first proceeding against the Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) of its Guaranteed Obligations, or against any Collateral under the Loan Documents or joining the Borrower or any other guarantor (including the Guarantors) in any proceeding against any Guarantor. At any time after maturity of the Guaranteed Obligations of a Guarantor, the Administrative Agent may (unless such Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full (other than Unasserted Contingent Obligations)), without notice to such Guarantor and regardless of the acceptance of any Collateral for the payment thereof, appropriate and apply toward the payment of such Guaranteed Obligations (a) any indebtedness due or to become due from any Secured Party to such Guarantor and (b) any moneys, credits or other property belonging to such Guarantor at any time held by or coming into the possession of any Secured Party or any of its respective Affiliates.

 

(b)                                 So long as any Guaranteed Obligations remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent acting pursuant to the instructions of Required Lenders, commence or join with any other person in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency case or proceeding of or against the Borrower or any other Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced, limited, impaired, discharged, deferred, suspended or terminated by any case or proceeding, voluntary or involuntary, involving the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization, liquidation or arrangement of the Borrower or any other Guarantor or by any defense which the Borrower or any other Guarantor may have by reason of the order, decree or decision of any court or applicable body resulting from any such proceeding (except as described in Section 2.9). Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations which accrues after the commencement of any case or proceeding referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (or, if interest on any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of such case or proceeding, such interest as would have

 

6











 

accrued on such portion of the Guaranteed Obligations if such case or proceeding had not been commenced) shall be included in the Guaranteed Obligations because it is the intention of the Guarantors and the Secured Parties that the Guaranteed Obligations which are guaranteed by Guarantors pursuant hereto should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve the Borrower of any portion of such Guaranteed Obligations. Guarantors will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay the Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of the Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such case or proceeding is commenced. In the event that all or any portion of any Guaranteed Obligations are paid by the Borrower, the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment or payments are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from any Secured Party as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Guaranteed Obligations for all purposes hereunder.

 

2.13                        Keepwell. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its obligations under this Guarantee in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 2.13 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 2.13, or otherwise under this Guarantee, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 4.15. Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 2.13 constitute, and this Section 2.13 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.

 

SECTION 3.                            REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

As of the date hereof, each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as to itself to each Lender that each of the representations and warranties contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement are true, insofar as they refer to such Guarantor, or to the assets, operations, conditions, agreements, business or actions of such Guarantor, as one of the Loan Parties, or to the Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

 

SECTION 4.                            MISCELLANEOUS

 

4.1                               Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Guarantee may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except in accordance with Section 9.1 of the Credit Agreement.

 

4.2                               Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any Guarantor hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 9.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or demand to or upon any Guarantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1.

 

4.3                               No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 4.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a

 

7











 

waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law.

 

4.4                               Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Administrative Agent for all its documented costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in Section 2 or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which such Guarantor is a party, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent.

 

(b)                                 Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Guarantee.

 

(c)                                  Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Guarantee to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 9.5 of the Credit Agreement.

 

(d)                                 The agreements in this Section 4.4 shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

4.5                               Successors and Assigns. This Guarantee shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each Guarantor and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Guarantee without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

4.6                               Set-Off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without notice to any Guarantor, any such notice being expressly waived by each Guarantor to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any Obligations becoming due and payable by any Guarantor (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to apply to the payment of such Obligations, by setoff or otherwise, any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender, any affiliate thereof or any of their respective branches or agencies to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the relevant Guarantor and the Administrative Agent after any such application made by such Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such application.

 

4.7                               Counterparts. This Guarantee may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Guarantee on any number of separate counterparts (including by email or telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

 

4.8                               Severability. Any provision of this Guarantee which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or

 

8











 

unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

4.9                               Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Guarantee are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

 

4.10                        Integration. This Guarantee and the other Loan Documents represent the entire agreement of the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents.

 

4.11                        GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTEE AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES UNDER THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

4.12                        Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:

 

(a)                                 submits for itself and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof;

 

(b)                                 consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same;

 

(c)                                  agrees that service of process in any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such Guarantor at its address referred to in Section 4.2 or at such other address of which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto;

 

(d)                                 agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by law; and

 

(e)                                  waives, to the maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any indirect, special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages.

 

4.13                        Acknowledgements. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges that:

 

(a)                                 it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Guarantee and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party;

 

(b)                                 neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor arising out of or in connection with this Guarantee or any of the other Loan Documents, and the relationship between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent

 

9











 

and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and

 

(c)                                  no joint venture is created hereby or by the other Loan Documents or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated hereby among the Lenders or among the Guarantors and the Lenders.

 

4.14                        Additional Guarantors. Each Subsidiary of the Borrower that is required to become a party to this Guarantee pursuant to Section 5.10 of the Credit Agreement shall become a Guarantor for all purposes of this Guarantee upon execution and delivery by such Subsidiary of an Assumption Agreement in the form of Annex 1 hereto.

 

4.15                        Releases. At such time as the Loans and the other Obligations shall have been paid in full, this Guarantee and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party. At the request and sole expense of any Guarantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver to such Guarantor such documents as such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

 

4.16                        WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTEE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.

(c)                                  Other than as set forth in the first proviso to the second sentence of the immediately preceding clause (b), any First Priority Secured Party with physical possession of or control over Common Collateral shall not have any duty or liability to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of such Common Collateral and, except for gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, each Second Priority Secured Party hereby waives and releases such Person from all claims and liabilities arising pursuant to such Person’s role as bailee with respect to such Common Collateral.

Except with respect to the JPMVEC Separate Assets and Collateral, until the occurrence of the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, the parties hereto agree that there shall be no Lien, and no Grantor shall have any right to create any Lien, on any asset of such Grantor securing any Secured Obligation of such Grantor if such asset is not also subject to a Lien securing each other Secured Obligation of such Grantor, except that nothing contained in this Section 2.04 shall preclude (i) the First Priority Secured Parties from being granted Adequate Protection Liens regardless of whether any Adequate Protection Liens are granted to the holders of any other Secured Obligations or (ii) the Second Priority Secured Parties from being granted Adequate Protection Liens in accordance with Section 5.04. If any Secured Party shall (nonetheless and in breach hereof) acquire or hold any Lien on any assets of any Grantor securing the Secured Obligations of such Grantor (other than the Liens described in clauses (i) and (ii) above), which assets are not also subject to a Lien securing the other Secured Obligations of such Grantor as required by the first sentence of this Section 2.04, then such Secured Party shall, without the need for any further consent of any other Secured Party, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Finance Document, be deemed to hold and have held such Lien for the benefit of the Secured Parties holding Secured Obligations that are required to have a Lien on such assets by the first sentence of this Section 2.04 (and each such Lien so deemed to have been held shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of this Agreement, including the lien subordination

 

19











 

provisions set forth in Section 2.01) and the applicable Grantors shall promptly grant additional Liens on such assets to the other Secured Parties.

Upon the occurrence of the Termination Date in respect of any Class of Secured Obligations, the Representative in respect of such Class of Secured Obligations shall deliver a written notice to the Representatives of the other Classes of Secured Obligations then outstanding stating that such Termination Date has occurred to the satisfaction of the Secured Parties of such Class of Secured Obligations.

No Secured Party shall, in or in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding, file any pleadings or motions, take any position at any hearing or proceeding of any nature, or otherwise take any action whatsoever, in each case to challenge, contest or otherwise object to the scope, validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of any Liens held by any other Secured Party, the value of any claims of any other Secured Party under Section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and no Secured Party shall support any other Person doing any of the foregoing; provided that the Second Priority Representative with respect to each Type of Common Collateral may (i) file a proof of claim in an Insolvency Proceeding and (ii) file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition of any motion or other pleadings made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims of the Second Priority Representative with respect to its Lien on Common Collateral, in each case, subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement and only if consistent with the terms and limitations imposed on them hereby.

 

Section 5.02.                          Financing Matters.

 

(a)                                 With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, prior to the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, if any Grantor becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding, and if the First Priority Representative consents (or does not object) to the use of such Common Collateral (for the avoidance of doubt, including to the use of cash collateral) by any Grantor during any Insolvency Proceeding or provides financing to any Grantor under the Bankruptcy Code or consents (or does not object) to the provision of such financing to any Grantor by any third party (any such financing, whether provided by the First Priority Secured Parties or any third party, being referred therein as a “DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party (i) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, and will not support any other Person objecting to, the use of such Common Collateral or to such DIP Financing, (ii) shall only request or accept adequate protection in connection with the use of such Common Collateral or such DIP Financing as permitted by Section 5.04, (iii) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens and any Adequate Protection Liens provided in respect thereof, (A) to such DIP Financing with the same terms and conditions as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (B) to any adequate protection, including Adequate Protection Liens, provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (C) to any “carve-out” for professional and United States Trustee fees agreed to by the First Priority Representative (or the other First Priority Secured Parties) and, if not the First Priority Secured Parties, the Person providing such DIP Financing, as applicable, and (iv) agrees that any notice of such events found to be adequate by the bankruptcy court shall be adequate notice.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Section 5.02(a) shall only be applicable as to the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to any DIP Financing to the extent the amount of such DIP Financing does not exceed the sum of (i) the aggregate available principal amount (including any issued and outstanding letters of credit) of the ABL Secured Obligations, plus (ii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan Secured Obligations Refinanced thereby plus (iii) $50,000,000.

Section 5.03.                          Relief from the Automatic Stay. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that none of them will, until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, (a) seek relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding or take any action in violation thereof, or support any other Person seeking such relief or taking such action, in each case in respect of such Common Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Priority Representative or (b) object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, any relief from the automatic stay or from any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding requested by any First Priority Secured Party.

 

Section 5.04.                          Adequate Protection. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that none of them shall object to, contest, or support any other Person objecting to or contesting, (i) any request by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on a claim of a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party under section 506(b) or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement, in any Insolvency Proceeding, (x) the Second Priority Representative and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, with respect to each Type of Common Collateral, may seek, support, accept or retain adequate protection (A) only if the First Priority Secured Parties are granted adequate protection that includes liens on additional or replacement collateral and superpriority claims and (B) in the form of (1) additional or replacement Liens on such collateral, subordinated to the Liens securing the First Priority Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Second Priority Liens are so subordinated to the First Priority Liens under this Agreement and (2) superpriority claims junior in all respects to the superpriority claims granted to the First Priority Secured Parties, and (y) in the event the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, receives adequate protection, including in the form of additional collateral, then the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that the First Priority Representative shall have a senior Lien and claim on such adequate protection as security for the First Priority Obligations and that any Lien on any additional collateral securing the Second Priority Obligations shall be subordinated to the Liens on such collateral securing the First Priority Obligations and any DIP Financing (and all obligations relating thereto) and any other Liens granted to the First Priority Secured Parties as adequate protection, with such subordination to be on the same terms that the other Liens securing the Second Priority Obligations are subordinated to such First Priority Obligations under this Agreement.

 

Section 5.05.                          Avoidance Issues. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, if any First Priority Secured Party is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Grantor, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be paid or disgorged for any reason, including because it was found to be a fraudulent or preferential transfer, any amount (a “Recovery”), whether received as proceeds of security, enforcement of any right of set-off or otherwise, then the First Priority Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred, and the First Priority Obligations Payment Date shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to such Recovery.

Section 5.06.                          Asset Dispositions in an Insolvency Proceeding.

 

(a)                                 With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, agrees that (a) none of them shall, in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, oppose any sale or disposition of any such Common Collateral that is supported by the First Priority Secured Parties, and (b) they will be deemed to have consented under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (and otherwise) to any such sale supported by the First Priority Secured Parties and to have automatically and unconditionally released their Liens on such assets.

 

(b)                                 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, each Secured Party shall expressly have the right to bid or credit bid any of its Secured Obligations for or purchase the Common Collateral at any public, private or judicial foreclosure or sale of any Common Collateral (including a “partial credit bid”) or in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise; provided that any such credit bid or partial credit bid of the Second Priority Obligations must provide for the payment in full in cash of the First Priority Obligations on closing of any resulting disposition (to the extent then outstanding).

 

Section 5.07.                          Separate Grants of Security and Separate Classification. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, each Secured Party acknowledges and agrees that (i) the grant of Liens pursuant to the First Priority Security Documents constitutes a separate and distinct grant of Liens from the grant of each of the Liens granted pursuant to any of the Second Priority Security Documents, (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in such Common Collateral, the First Priority Obligations and Second Priority Obligations are fundamentally different and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or confirmed in an Insolvency Proceeding and (iii) it will object to, and not vote in favor of, any plan of reorganization that does not separately classify each such Class. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties in respect of such Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, subject to Sections 2.01 and 4.01, all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the relevant Grantors in respect of such Common Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of such Common Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), the First Priority Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to distributions to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of Post-Petition Interest (at the applicable non-default rate) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties), with the Second Priority Secured Parties hereby acknowledging and agreeing to turn over to the First Priority Secured Parties distributions otherwise received or receivable by them in respect of such Common Collateral to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Second Priority Secured Parties.

 

Section 5.08.                          Plans of Reorganization. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, if the claims of the First Priority Secured Parties and the claims held by the Second Priority Secured Parties constitute only one secured claim pursuant to any plan of reorganization proposed in an Insolvency Proceeding (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), notwithstanding the objection to, and vote against, such plan by such Secured Parties in accordance with Section 5.07, no Second Priority Secured Party shall support or vote in favor of such plan of reorganization (and each shall vote and shall be deemed to have voted to reject any plan of reorganization) unless such plan (i) pays off, in cash in full, all First Priority Obligations or (ii) is supported by the First Priority Representative. If any such Second Priority Secured Party votes in favor of any plan or reorganization in violation of this Section 5.08, such Second Priority Secured Party irrevocably agrees that such vote shall be deemed unauthorized, void and of no force and effect and the First Priority Representative shall be, and shall be

 

33











 

deemed, such party’s “authorized agent” under Bankruptcy Rules 3018(c) and 9010, and that the First Priority Representative shall be authorized and entitled to withdraw such vote and submit a superseding ballot on behalf of such Second Priority Secured Party that is consistent herewith.

 

Section 5.09.                          Other Matters. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, to the extent that the Second Priority Representative or any other Second Priority Secured Party has or acquires rights under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any of such Common Collateral, the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, not to assert any of such rights in violation of this Agreement; provided that if requested by the First Priority Representative, the Second Priority Representative shall timely exercise such rights in the manner requested by the First Priority Representative, including any rights to payments in respect of such rights.

 

Section 5.10.                          No Waiver of Rights of First Priority Secured Parties. With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Priority Representative or any other First Priority Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by any Second Priority Secured Party in respect of the Common Collateral, other than any action taken by such Second Priority Secured Party that is expressly permitted by this Agreement.

 

Section 5.11.                          Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Grantor shall include such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the rights and obligations hereunder of the First Priority Secured Parties and the Second Priority Secured Parties with respect to each Type of Collateral shall be fully enforceable as between such parties regardless of the pendency of Insolvency Proceedings or any related limitations on the enforcement of this Agreement against any Grantor.

(b)                                 With respect to each Type of Common Collateral, (i) until the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, in the event the First Priority Representative enters into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Priority Security Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of, any First Priority Security Document or changing in any manner the rights of any parties thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Second Lien Security Document without the consent of or action by any Second Priority Secured Party (with all such amendments, waivers and modifications subject to the terms hereof); provided that (other than with respect to amendments, modifications or waivers that secure additional extensions of credit and add additional secured creditors and do not violate the express provisions of the Second Priority Documents), (A) no such amendment, waiver or consent shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of any Second Priority Security Document, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is permitted by Section 4.02, (B) any such amendment, waiver or consent that materially and adversely affects the rights of the Second Priority Secured Parties and does not affect the First Priority Secured Parties in a like or similar manner shall not apply to the Second Priority Security Documents without the consent of the Second Priority Representative and (C) notice of such amendment, waiver or consent shall be given to the Second Priority Representative no later than 30 days after its effectiveness, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness and validity thereof and (ii) to the extent Exhibit A is changed pursuant to Section 8.16 hereof, each of the First Lien Security Documents and the Second Lien Security Documents shall automatically be deemed amended or modified to reflect such changes to Exhibit A.
