SECTION 2.     AMOUNT AND TERMS OF REVOLVING COMMITMENTS


 


2.1     Revolving Commitments.


 


(a)  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Revolving Lender severally agrees to make revolving credit loans in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount at any one time outstanding which does not exceed the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  The Revolving Borrower shall not request and no Revolving Lender shall be required to make any Revolving Loan if, after making such Revolving Loan, the Total Revolving Loans would exceed the Total Revolving Commitments then in effect.  During the Revolving Commitment Period, the Revolving Borrower may use the Revolving Commitments by borrowing, prepaying the Revolving Loans in whole or in part, and reborrowing, all in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof. Subject to Section 2.11, each Revolving Loan shall be either an ABR Loan or a LIBOR Loan, as determined by the Revolving Borrower and notified to the Revolving Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 2.2 and Section 2.7.  The Revolving Borrower shall repay all outstanding Revolving Loans not later than the Final Termination Date.


 



23










 


(b)  (i)     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Revolving Borrower may request from time to time that the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder be increased by an aggregate amount not to exceed $100,000,000.  The Revolving Borrower may (A) request one or more of the Revolving Lenders to increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment (which request shall be in writing and sent to the Revolving Administrative Agent to forward to such Revolving Lender or Revolving Lenders) and/or (B) arrange for one or more banks or financial institutions not a party hereto (an “Other Lender”) to become parties to and Revolving Lenders under this Agreement; provided that the identification and arrangement of each Other Lender to become a party hereto and a Revolving Lender under this Agreement shall be made in consultation with the Revolving Administrative Agent.  In no event may any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment be increased without the prior written consent of such Revolving Lender, and the failure of any Revolving Lender to respond to the Revolving Borrower’s request for an increase shall be deemed a rejection by such Revolving Lender of the Revolving Borrower’s request.  The aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders hereunder may not be increased if, at the time of any proposed increase hereunder, a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Revolving Lender shall have any obligation whatsoever to increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment, and each Revolving Lender may at its option, unconditionally and without cause, decline to increase its Revolving Commitment.


 


(ii)  If any Revolving Lender is willing, in its sole and absolute discretion, to increase the amount of its Revolving Commitment hereunder (such a Revolving Lender hereinafter referred to as an “Increasing Lender”), it shall enter into a written agreement to that effect with the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit F (a “Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, the amount of the increased Revolving Commitment of such Increasing Lender.  Upon the effectiveness of such Increasing Lender’s increase in Revolving Commitment, Schedule 1.1 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended appropriately to reflect the increased Revolving Commitment of such Increasing Lender.  Any Other Lender which is willing to become a party hereto and a Revolving Lender hereunder (and which arrangement to become a party hereto and a Revolving Lender hereunder has been consulted by the Revolving Borrower with the Revolving Administrative Agent) shall enter into a written agreement with the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent, substantially in the form of Exhibit G (an “Additional Revolving Lender Supplement”), which agreement shall specify, among other things, its agreement to be a party as a Revolving Lender hereunder, its Revolving Commitment hereunder and its agreement to be a party to the Framework Agreement as a Revolving Lender and a Pre-Export Lender and a party to the Pre-Export Credit Agreement as a Pre-Export Lender.


 



24










 


When such Other Lender becomes a Revolving Lender hereunder as set forth in the Additional Revolving Lender Supplement, Schedule 1.1 shall, without further action, be deemed to have been amended as appropriate to reflect the Revolving Commitment of such Other Lender.  Upon the execution by the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Revolving Borrower and such Other Lender of such Additional Revolving Lender Supplement, such Other Lender shall (x) become and be deemed a party hereto and a “Revolving Lender” hereunder for all purposes hereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations as a Revolving Lender set forth in this Agreement, and its Revolving Commitment shall be the amount specified in its Additional Revolving Lender Supplement, (y) become and be deemed a party to the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and a “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations as a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and (z) become and be deemed a party to the Framework Agreement and a “Revolving Lender” and a “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and shall enjoy all rights and assume all obligations as a Revolving Lender and a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Framework Agreement.  Each Other Lender which executes and delivers an Additional Revolving Lender Supplement and becomes a party hereto and a “Revolving Lender” hereunder pursuant to such Additional Revolving Lender Supplement is hereinafter referred to as an “Additional Revolving Lender.”


 


(iii)  In no event shall an increase in a Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender become effective until the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have received an acknowledgement and consent from the Guarantor that the Guaranty Agreement remains valid and enforceable.  In no event shall an increase in a Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender which results in the aggregate Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders hereunder exceeding the amount which is authorized at such time in resolutions previously delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent become effective until the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have received a copy of a customary legal opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent, and the resolutions, in form and substance satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent, of the Board of Directors of the Guarantor authorizing the borrowings by the Revolving Borrower contemplated pursuant to such increase, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Guarantor.  Upon the effectiveness of the increase in a Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment or the Revolving Commitment of an Other Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence and execution by an Increasing Lender of a Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement or by an Additional Revolving Lender of an Additional Revolving Lender Supplement, the Revolving Borrower shall make such borrowing from such Increasing Lender or Additional Revolving Lender, and/or shall make such prepayment of outstanding Revolving Loans, as shall be required to cause the aggregate outstanding Dollar Equivalent principal amount of Revolving Loans owing to each Revolving Lender (including each such Increasing Lender and Additional Revolving Lender) to be proportional to such Revolving Lender’s share of the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder after giving effect to any increase thereof.


 



25










 


The Revolving Borrower agrees to indemnify each Revolving Lender and to hold each Revolving Lender harmless from any loss or expense incurred as a result of any such prepayment in accordance with Section 2.13, as applicable.


 


(iv)  No Other Lender may become an Additional Revolving Lender unless an Additional Revolving Lender Supplement (or counterparts thereof) has been signed by such bank or financial institution and which Additional Revolving Lender Supplement has been agreed to and acknowledged by the Revolving Borrower and acknowledged by the Revolving Administrative Agent.  No consent of any Revolving Lender or acknowledgment of any of the other Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be required therefor.  In no event shall the Revolving Commitment of any Revolving Lender be increased by reason of any bank or financial institution becoming an Additional Revolving Lender, or otherwise, but the aggregate Revolving Commitments hereunder shall be increased by the amount of each Additional Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Upon any Revolving Lender entering into a Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement or any Additional Revolving Lender becoming a party hereto, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall notify each other Revolving Lender thereof and shall deliver to each Revolving Lender a copy of the Additional Revolving Lender Supplement executed by such Additional Revolving Lender and agreed to and acknowledged by the Revolving Borrower and acknowledged by the Revolving Administrative Agent, and the Revolving Commitment Increase Supplement executed by such Increasing Lender and agreed to and acknowledged by the Revolving Borrower and acknowledged by the Revolving Administrative Agent.


 


2.2     Procedure for Revolving Loan Borrowing.  The Revolving Borrower may borrow under the Revolving Commitments during the Revolving Commitment Period on any Business Day; provided, that the Revolving Borrower shall give the Revolving Administrative Agent irrevocable notice (which notice must be received by (a) the Revolving Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of LIBOR Loans or (b) the Revolving Administrative Agent prior to 10:00 A.M., New York City time, one (1) Business Day prior to the requested Borrowing Date, in the case of ABR Loans), specifying (i) the amount and Type of Revolving Loans to be borrowed, (ii) the requested Borrowing Date and (iii) in the case of LIBOR Loans, the length of the initial Interest Period therefor.

Upon receipt of any such notice from the Revolving Borrower, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender thereof.  Each Revolving Lender will make the amount of its pro rata share of each borrowing available to the Revolving Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Borrower at the Funding Office prior to 2:00 P.M., New York City time (the “Borrowing Time”), on the Borrowing Date requested by the Revolving Borrower, in each case in funds immediately available in Dollars to the Revolving Administrative Agent.  Such borrowing will then be made available at 2:00 P.M., New York City time on the Borrowing Date to the Revolving Borrower by the Revolving Administrative Agent crediting the account of the Revolving Borrower on the books of such office with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Revolving Administrative Agent by the Revolving Lenders and in like funds as received by the Revolving Administrative Agent.  Should any such borrowing notice from the Revolving Borrower indicate an account on the books of another bank or financial institution, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall transfer the amounts described in such borrowing notice to such account within a reasonable period of time.

Upon receipt of any such notice the Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof.  If any such notice is given, the amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein, together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid.  Partial prepayments of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to at least $1,000,000 or any larger whole multiple thereof.


 


(b)  If, on any day, the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans hereunder and Pari Passu Indebtedness (after converting all such amounts into the then Dollar Equivalent thereof) exceeds the then current Series 2002-1 Invested Amount outstanding under the Series 2002-1 VFC (after giving effect to any increases or decreases therein on such day), the Revolving Borrower shall prepay Revolving Loans and/or Pari Passu Indebtedness in an amount sufficient to comply with Section 5.2(a).  Any such prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and the Revolving Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.


 


(c)  If, on any date, the Total Loans outstanding on such date exceed the Total Revolving Commitments in effect on such date, the Revolving Borrower immediately shall prepay the Revolving Loans in the amount of such excess.  Any such prepayment of Revolving Loans pursuant to this Section 2.6(c) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the amount prepaid and the Revolving Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.15.


 


2.7     Interest Rate Conversion and Continuation Options.


 


(a)  The Revolving Borrower may elect from time to time to convert LIBOR Loans to ABR Loans by giving the Revolving Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date; provided, that any such conversion of LIBOR Loans may only be made on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto.  The Revolving Borrower may elect from time to time to convert ABR Loans to LIBOR Loans by giving the Revolving Administrative Agent prior irrevocable notice of such election no later than 10:00 A.M., New York City time, on the fourth (4th) Business Day preceding the proposed conversion date (which notice shall specify the length of the initial Interest Period therefor), provided that no ABR Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Revolving Administrative Agent or the Required Revolving Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such conversions.  Upon receipt of any such notice the Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof.


 



31










 


(b)  Any LIBOR Loan may be continued as such upon the expiration of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto by the Revolving Borrower giving irrevocable notice to the Revolving 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 Revolving Loans; provided, that no LIBOR Loan may be continued as such when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Revolving Administrative Agent has or the Required Revolving Lenders have determined in its or their sole discretion not to permit such continuations, and provided, further, that if the Revolving 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, any such LIBOR 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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Revolving Lender thereof.


 


2.8     Limitations on LIBOR Borrowings.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all borrowings, conversions and continuations of LIBOR Loans and all selections of Interest Periods shall be in such amounts and be made pursuant to such elections so that, after giving effect thereto, (a) the aggregate principal amount of the LIBOR Loans comprising each LIBOR Borrowing shall be equal to $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, and (b) no more than fifteen (15) LIBOR Borrowings shall be outstanding at any one time.







2.9     Interest Rates and Payment Dates.


 


(a)  Each LIBOR Loan shall bear interest for each day during each Interest Period with respect thereto at a rate per annum equal to (i) the LIBO Rate determined for such day plus (ii) the Applicable Margin.


 


(b)  Each ABR Loan shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) the ABR plus (ii) the Applicable Margin minus (iii) one percent (1%).


 


(c)  During the continuance of an Event of Default all outstanding Revolving Loans (whether or not overdue) shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate that would otherwise be applicable thereto pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section plus two percent (2%).  If all or a portion of any interest payable on any Revolving Loan or any commitment fee or other amount payable hereunder (other than any amount to which the preceding sentence is applicable) 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 interest rate then applicable to the ABR Loans plus two percent (2%) from the date of such non-payment until such amount is paid in full (as well after as before judgment).


 



32










 


(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 Revolving Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Revolving Borrower and the relevant Revolving Lenders of each determination of a LIBO Rate.  Any change in the interest rate on a Revolving Loan resulting from a change in the ABR shall become effective as of the opening of business on the day on which such change becomes effective. The Revolving Administrative Agent shall as soon as practicable notify the Revolving Borrower and the relevant Revolving Lenders of the effective date and the amount of each such change in interest rate. Interest shall accrue on each Revolving Loan for the day on which the Revolving Loan is made, and shall not accrue on any Revolving Loan (or portion of a Revolving Loan) for the day on which such Revolving Loan is paid.  For purposes of calculating accrued interest on all Revolving Loans, interest shall accrue on the first day of each Interest Period, but not the last day of such period.


 


(b)  Each determination of an interest rate by the Revolving Administrative Agent pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Lenders in the absence of manifest error.  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Revolving Borrower, deliver to the Revolving Borrower a statement showing the quotations used by the Revolving Administrative Agent in determining any interest rate pursuant to Sections 2.6(a) and (b).


 


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


 


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


 


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


 



33










 


the Revolving Administrative Agent shall give telecopy or telephonic notice thereof to the Revolving Borrower and the relevant Revolving Lenders as soon as practicable thereafter.  If such notice is given, (x) any LIBOR Loans requested to be made on the first day of such Interest Period shall be made as ABR Loans, (y) any Revolving Loans that were to have been converted on the first day of such Interest Period to LIBOR Loans shall be continued as ABR Loans and (z) any outstanding LIBOR Loans shall be converted, on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, to ABR Loans.  Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Revolving Administrative Agent, no further LIBOR Loans shall be made or continued as such, nor shall the Revolving Borrower have the right to convert Revolving Loans to LIBOR Loans.


 


2.12     Pro Rata Treatment and Payments.


 


(a)  Each borrowing by the Revolving Borrower from the Revolving Lenders hereunder shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18(b), any reduction of the Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders.  Each payment by the Revolving Borrower on account of any commitment fee with respect to any period shall be made pro rata according to the respective average daily Available Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders for such period; provided, that the Revolving Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any commitment fee owed to a Revolving Lender with respect to any period during which such Revolving Lender became a Defaulting Lender, and such Defaulting Lender’s Available Revolving Commitment shall not be included in the calculation of the commitment fees owed to the Revolving Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders during such period, unless in either case such Revolving Lender remains a Performing Lender during such period.


 


(b)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.18(b), each payment (including each prepayment) by the Revolving Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Revolving Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Revolving Loans then held by the Revolving Lenders.


 


(c)  All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent, for the account of the Revolving Lenders, at the Funding Office, in immediately available funds.  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Revolving Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received.  If any payment (other than payments on the LIBOR Loans) hereunder 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 LIBOR 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.


 



34










 


(d)  Unless the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Revolving Lender prior to the Borrowing Time on a Borrowing Date that such Revolving Lender will not make the amount that would constitute its share of such borrowing on such date available to the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent may assume that such Revolving Lender has made such amount available to the Revolving Administrative Agent on such Borrowing Date, and the Revolving Administrative Agent may, but shall not be so required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Borrower a corresponding amount.  If such amount is not made available to the Revolving Administrative Agent by the required time on such Borrowing Date, and if the Revolving Administrative Agent makes such corresponding amount available to the Revolving Borrower, then such Revolving Lender shall pay to the Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, for the period until such Revolving Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Revolving Administrative Agent.  A certificate of the Revolving Administrative Agent submitted to any Revolving Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  If the Revolving Administrative Agent makes such Revolving Lender’s share of such borrowing available to the Revolving Borrower, and if such Revolving Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Revolving Administrative Agent by such Revolving Lender within three (3) Business Days after such Borrowing Date, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to ABR Loans, on demand, from the Revolving Borrower.  The failure of any Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan on any Borrowing Date shall not relieve any other Revolving Lender of its obligation hereunder to make a Revolving Loan on such Borrowing Date pursuant to the provisions contained herein, but no Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make the Revolving Loan to be made by such other Revolving Lender on any Borrowing Date.


 


(e)  Unless the Revolving Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Revolving Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Revolving Borrower hereunder that the Revolving Borrower will not make such payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Revolving Administrative Agent may assume that the Revolving Borrower is making such payment, and the Revolving Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Revolving Lenders their respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount.  If such payment is not made to the Revolving Administrative Agent by the Revolving Borrower within three (3) Business Days after such due date, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Revolving 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 Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender against the Revolving Borrower.


 



35










 


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 Revolving 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 (a “Change in Law”):


 


(i)  shall subject any Revolving Lender to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) with respect to any Revolving Loan Document;


 


(ii)  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Revolving Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO Rate; or


 


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


 


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


 


(b)  If any Revolving Lender shall have determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital or liquidity adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by such Revolving Lender or any corporation controlling such Revolving Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Revolving Lender’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Revolving Lender or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Revolving Lender’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Revolving Lender to be material, then from time to time, after submission by such Revolving Lender to the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor, the Revolving Borrower shall pay to such Revolving Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Revolving Lender or such corporation for such reduction; provided, that the Revolving Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph for any amounts incurred more than six Months prior to the date that such Revolving Lender notifies the Revolving Borrower of such Revolving Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; and provided, further, that, if the circumstances giving rise to such claim have a retroactive effect, then such six-Month period shall be extended to include the period of such retroactive effect.


 



36










 


(c)  A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted by any Revolving Lender to the Revolving Borrower (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower pursuant to this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


(d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary (i) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III or Basel IV, (ii) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (iii) CRD IV/CRR 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 Requirements of Law, regardless of the date enacted, adopted, issued or implemented.







2.14     Taxes.


 


(a)  All payments made by or on behalf of the Revolving Borrower under this Agreement or any other Revolving Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any Taxes; provided, that if any Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender, as determined in good faith by the applicable Withholding Agent, (x) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and (y) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Revolving Borrower to the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section), the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.


 



37










 


(b)  In addition, the Revolving Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Revolving Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.


 


(c)  Whenever any Indemnified Taxes are payable by a Revolving Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Revolving Loan Party shall send to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Revolving Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Revolving Loan Party showing payment thereof, a copy of the tax return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent.


 


(d)  The Revolving Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient 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 setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of, calculation of and circumstances giving rise to such payment or liability delivered to the Revolving Borrower by a Revolving Lender (with a copy to the Revolving Administrative Agent), or by the Revolving Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Revolving Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.


 


(e)  Each Revolving Lender shall severally indemnify the Revolving Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of (i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that are attributable to such Revolving Lender and that are payable or paid by the Revolving Administrative Agent (but only to the extent that Revolving Borrower has not already indemnified the Revolving Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Revolving Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Revolving Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 8.6(b) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, together with all reasonable costs and expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other 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 Revolving Lender by the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Revolving Lender hereby authorizes the Revolving Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Revolving Lender under any Revolving Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Revolving Administrative Agent to the Revolving Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Revolving Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).


 



38










 


(f)  (i) Any Revolving Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Revolving Loan Document shall deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Revolving Lender, if reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent as will enable the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Revolving 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 such documentation set forth in Section 2.12(f)(ii)(A), Section 2.12(f)(ii)(B) and Section 2.12(g) below) shall not be required if in the Revolving Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Revolving Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Revolving Lender.


 


(ii)  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Revolving Borrower is a U.S. Borrower, (A) any Revolving Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Revolving Lender becomes a Revolving Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Revolving Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; (B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Revolving Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable: (1) in the case of a Foreign 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 Revolving Loan Document, executed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an 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 Revolving Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, 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 copies of IRS Form W-8ECI; (3) in the case of a Foreign 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 E-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Revolving 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 copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or (4) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-2 or Exhibit E-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit E-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Revolving Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent), executed copies 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 Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.


 



39















(g)  If a payment made to a Revolving Lender under any Revolving Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Revolving 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 Revolving Lender shall deliver to the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving 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 Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Revolving Lender has complied with such Revolving Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this paragraph (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, a Revolving Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this Section that such Lender is not legally able to deliver.







(h)  Each Revolving Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 2.14 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.


 




 



40










(i)  If the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender determines, in its sole good faith discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Revolving Borrower or with respect to which the Revolving Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.14, it shall pay to the Revolving Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Revolving Borrower under this Section 2.14 with respect to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Revolving Borrower agrees to pay, upon the request of the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, the amount paid over to the Revolving Borrower pursuant to this paragraph (i) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender in the event that the Revolving Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (i), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (i) 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 giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This Section 2.14(i) shall not be construed to require the Revolving Administrative Agent or a Revolving Lender to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the Revolving Borrower.







(i)  The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


2.15     Indemnity.  The Revolving Borrower agrees to indemnify each Revolving Lender for, and to hold each Revolving Lender harmless from, any loss or expense that such Revolving Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by the Revolving Borrower in making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Loans after the Revolving Borrower has given a notice requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by the Revolving Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Loans after the Revolving Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of LIBOR Loans on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto or (d) the assignment of any LIBOR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period with respect thereto as the result of a request by the Revolving Borrower pursuant to Section 2.18(a); provided, however, that the Revolving Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify a Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender for any such loss or expense (incurred while such Revolving Lender was a Defaulting Lender) related to the prepayment or assignment of any LIBOR Loan owed to such Defaulting Lender.  


 



41










 


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 Revolving Loans provided for herein (excluding, however, the Applicable Margin included therein, if any) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Revolving Lender) that would have accrued to such Revolving Lender on such amount by placing such amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the interbank eurocurrency market.  A certificate as to any amounts payable pursuant to this Section submitted to the Revolving Borrower by any Revolving Lender shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.  This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 


2.16     Change of Lending Office.  Each Revolving 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 Revolving Lender, it will, if requested by the Revolving Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Revolving Lender) to designate another lending office for any Revolving 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 Revolving Lender, cause such Revolving Lender and its lending office(s) 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 Revolving Borrower or the rights of any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a).


 


2.17     Illegality.  If, after the date of this Agreement, the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority shall, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to any Revolving Lender, make it unlawful for such Revolving Lender to make or maintain any LIBOR Loan, then such Revolving Lender may, by notice to the Revolving Borrower (with notice to the Revolving Administrative Agent), immediately declare that such LIBOR Loan shall be due and payable.  The Revolving Borrower shall repay any such LIBOR Loan declared so due and payable in full on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto or earlier if required by law, together with accrued interest thereon.  Each Revolving Lender will promptly notify the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent of any event of which such Revolving Lender has knowledge which would entitle it to repayment pursuant to this Section 2.17 and will use its reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of any event if, in the sole and absolute opinion of such Revolving Lender, such efforts will avoid the need for such prepayment and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Revolving Lender.


 


2.18     Replacement of Revolving Lenders.  (a)   The Revolving Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Revolving Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a) 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 Revolving Lender shall have taken no action under Section 2.16 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), (iv) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Revolving Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the Revolving Borrower shall be liable to such replaced Revolving Lender under Section 2.15 if any LIBOR Loan owing to such replaced Revolving Lender shall be purchased other than on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (vi) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent, (vii) the replaced Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Revolving Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (viii) the Revolving Borrower shall remain liable to such replaced Revolving Lender for all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 2.13 or 2.14(a), as the case may be.


 



42










 


(b)  The Revolving Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Defaulting Lender 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) the replacement financial institution shall purchase, at par, in immediately available funds, all Revolving Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Revolving Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (iv) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Revolving Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Revolving Administrative Agent, (v) the replaced Revolving Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 8.6 (provided that the Revolving Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and processing fee referred to therein) and (vi) any such replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Revolving Borrower, the Revolving Administrative Agent or any other Revolving Lender shall have against the replaced Revolving Lender.  To the extent the Revolving Borrower is unable to replace any Defaulting Lender with a replacement financial institution, the Revolving Borrower may, to the extent that the reduction in the Total Revolving Commitments provided for in this sentence does not cause the Total Revolving Commitments to fall below the outstanding Revolving Loans, remove such Defaulting Lender by repaying such Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Revolving Loans and reducing the Total Revolving Commitments by an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.


 


2.19     Judgment Currency


 


(a)  If, for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum owing hereunder in one currency into another currency, each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, the first currency could be purchased with such other currency on the Business Day immediately preceding the day on which final judgment is given.


 



43










 


(b)  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower in respect of any sum due to any party hereto or any holder of the obligations owing hereunder (the “Applicable Creditor”) shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency (the “Judgment Currency”) other than the currency in which such sum is stated to be due hereunder (the “Agreement Currency”), be discharged only to the extent that, on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, the Applicable Creditor may in accordance with normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction purchase the Agreement Currency with the Judgment Currency; if the amount of the Agreement Currency so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Applicable Creditor in the Agreement Currency, the Revolving Borrower as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, agrees to indemnify the Applicable Creditor against such loss.  The obligations of the Revolving Borrower contained in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other amounts owing hereunder.


 


SECTION 3.     REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES


 


To induce the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Revolving Loans, the Revolving Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the Revolving Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender that:


 


3.1     No Change.  Since December 31, 2017, there has been no development or event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


3.2     Existence; Compliance with Law.  The Revolving Borrower (a) is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and in good standing under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership or operation of property or the conduct of its business requires such qualification except where the failure to be so duly qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith could not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


3.3     Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.  The Revolving Borrower has the power and authority, and the legal right, to make, deliver and perform the Revolving Loan Documents to which it is a party and to obtain Revolving Loans hereunder.

No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the Revolving Loans hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the Revolving Loan Documents to which the Revolving Borrower is a party, except consents, authorizations, filings and notices described in Schedule 3.3, which consents, authorizations, filings and notices have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.  Each Revolving Loan Document to which the Revolving Borrower is a party has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of the Revolving Borrower.  This Agreement constitutes, and each other Revolving Loan Document to which the Revolving Borrower is a party, upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Revolving Borrower, enforceable against the Revolving Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law).


 



44










 


3.4     No Legal Bar.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents to which the Revolving Borrower is a party, the borrowings hereunder and the use of the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of the Revolving Borrower and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien (other than any Revolving Borrower Permitted Lien) on any of the Revolving Borrower’s properties or revenues pursuant to any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation.  No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Revolving Borrower could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


3.5     Litigation.  No litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Revolving Borrower, threatened by or against the Revolving Borrower or against any of its properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the Revolving Loan Documents to which the Revolving Borrower is a party or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


3.6     No Default.  The Revolving Borrower is not 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.  No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

No tax Lien (other than any Revolving Borrower Permitted Lien) has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Revolving Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge.


 


3.9     Federal Regulations.  No part of the proceeds of any Revolving Loans will be used for “buying” or “carrying” any “margin stock” within the respective meanings of each of the quoted terms under Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose that violates the provisions of the applicable margin regulations of the Board.  If requested by any Revolving Lender or the Revolving Administrative Agent, the Revolving Borrower will furnish to the Revolving Administrative Agent and each Revolving Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U.


 



45










 


3.10     Investment Company Act; Other Regulations.  The Revolving Borrower is not an “investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

3.14     Limited Purpose.  The Revolving Borrower is a single purpose entity that was formed for the sole purpose of (i) holding the Series 2002-1 VFC, (ii) borrowing under the Revolving Commitments hereunder, (iii) incurring Pari Passu Indebtedness and (iv) entering into Hedge Agreements in connection with the Revolving Commitments hereunder and such Pari Passu Indebtedness.  Other than cash derived from Hedge Agreements and distributions of Series 2002-1 Accrued Interest and Series 2002-1 Invested Amount to the Revolving Borrower under the Series 2002-1 VFC, which cash shall be used by the Revolving Borrower solely to make interest, principal and premium (if any) payments under this Agreement and under any Pari Passu Indebtedness and to pay for its reasonable operating expenses (and, in the case of cash derived from Hedge Agreements, to make advances under the Series 2002-1 VFC), the Series 2002-1 VFC is the sole asset of the Revolving Borrower.


 


3.15     Financial Condition.  The balance sheet of the Revolving Borrower as at December 31, 2017 and the related statements of income for the fiscal year ended on such date, reported on by the Revolving Borrower’s independent public accountants, copies of which have heretofore been furnished to the Revolving Administrative Agent, are complete and correct, in all material respects, and present fairly the financial condition of the Revolving Borrower as at such date, and the results of operations for the fiscal year then ended.  Such financial statements, including any related schedules and notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the external auditors and as disclosed therein, if any).

3.17     Pari Passu.  All of the Revolving Borrower’s Obligations under the Revolving Loan Documents rank pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors (other than any such claims that are preferred by mandatory provisions of law).


 


3.18     Sanctions.


 


(a)  The Revolving Borrower is, to the extent applicable, in compliance with Sanctions and with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (the “FCPA”) and any other applicable anti-corruption law, in all material respects.

Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Revolving Lenders by the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder, the Revolving Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Revolving Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects or creditworthiness of any Revolving Loan Party or any Affiliate of a Revolving Loan Party that may come into the possession of the Revolving Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.


 


7.7     Indemnification.  The Revolving Lenders agree to indemnify the Revolving Administrative Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Guarantor or the Revolving 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 Revolving Commitments shall have terminated and the Revolving 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 Revolving Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Revolving Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of, the Revolving Commitments, this Agreement, any of the other Revolving 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 the Revolving Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Revolving 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 decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Revolving Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Revolving Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.


 



63










 


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


 


7.9     Successor Revolving Administrative Agent.  The Revolving Administrative Agent may resign, or shall resign upon the request of the Required Revolving Lenders in the event the Revolving Administrative Agent becomes a Defaulting Lender and is not a Performing Lender, as Revolving Administrative Agent upon ten (10) days’ notice to the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Borrower.  If the Revolving Administrative Agent shall resign as Revolving Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, then the Required Revolving Lenders shall appoint from among the Revolving Lenders a successor agent for the Revolving Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Sections 6(a), 6(e) or 6(f) with respect to the Revolving Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Revolving Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Revolving Administrative Agent, and the term “Revolving Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Revolving Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Revolving Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Revolving Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Revolving Loans.  If no successor agent has accepted appointment as Revolving Administrative Agent by the date that is ten (10) days following a retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Revolving Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Revolving Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Revolving Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.  After any retiring Revolving Administrative Agent’s resignation as Revolving Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 7.9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Revolving Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents.


 


7.10     Lead Arrangers and Bookrunners.  Neither the Revolving Joint Lead Arrangers nor the Joint Bookrunners shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as such.  No Revolving Joint Lead Arranger or Joint Bookrunner shall have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Revolving Lender.


 


7.11     Revolving Administrative Agent Communications.  The Revolving Administrative Agent shall provide to each Revolving Lender a copy of each material report, certificate, statement or other communication required to be delivered to it under the Revolving Loan Documents and which has not been delivered to the Revolving Lenders; provided, that posting by the Revolving Administrative Agent to Intralinks or to a similar electronic distribution location shall satisfy the requirements of this Section.  Without limiting the foregoing, none of such Revolving Lenders shall have or be deemed to have a fiduciary relationship with any Revolving Lender.  The Revolving Lenders are not partners or co-venturers, and no Revolving Lender shall be liable for the acts or omissions of, or (except as otherwise set forth herein in case of the Revolving Administrative Agent) authorized to act for, any other Revolving Lender.

8.1     Amendments and Waivers.  (a)   Neither this Agreement, any other Revolving Loan Document, nor any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 8.1.  The Required Revolving Lenders and each Revolving Loan Party party to the relevant Revolving Loan Document may, or, with the written consent of the Required Revolving Lenders, the Revolving Administrative Agent and each Revolving Loan Party party to the relevant Revolving Loan Document may, from time to time, (i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Revolving Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Revolving Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Revolving Lenders or of the Revolving Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Revolving Lenders or the Revolving Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the other Revolving Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (w) reduce (by way of forgiveness or otherwise) the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Revolving Loan, reduce the amount or stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder (except (1) in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates and (2) that any amendment or modification of defined terms used in the financial covenants in this Agreement or the other Revolving Loan Documents shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of interest or fees for purposes of this clause (w)) or extend the scheduled date of any payment thereof, or increase the amount or extend the expiration date of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, or increase any Revolving Lender’s Aggregate Exposure Percentage, in each case without the written consent of each Revolving Lender directly affected thereby; (x) eliminate or reduce the voting rights of any Revolving Lender, or otherwise amend any provisions, under this Section 8.1 without the written consent of such Revolving Lender; (y) waive any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.1 or Section 4.2, reduce any percentage specified in the definition of Required Revolving Lenders, consent to the assignment or transfer by the Revolving Borrower of any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, amend or waive Sections 3.18, 5.1(k) or 5.2(p), or release the Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, or assign any obligations under the Guaranty Agreement, effect any action pursuant to Section 17 of the Guaranty Agreement, or change any provision hereof requiring ratable funding or ratable sharing of payments or setoffs or otherwise related to the pro rata treatment of Revolving Lenders, in each case without the written consent of all Revolving Lenders; or (z) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 7 without the written consent of the Revolving Administrative Agent.  Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Revolving Lenders and shall be binding upon the Revolving Loan Parties, the Revolving Lenders, the Revolving Administrative Agent and all future holders of the Revolving Loans.  In the case of any waiver, the Revolving Loan Parties, the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Revolving 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.


 



65










 


(b)  Notwithstanding Section 8.1(a), the Revolving Commitments and Aggregate Exposure of any Defaulting Lender that is not a Performing Lender shall be disregarded for all purposes of any determination of whether the Required Revolving Lenders have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 8.1(a)), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Revolving Lenders or each affected Revolving Lender shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

8.5     Payment of Expenses, Indemnities and Taxes.  The Revolving Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Revolving Administrative Agent for all its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Revolving 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 counsel to the Revolving Administrative Agent and filing and recording fees and expenses, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Revolving Borrower prior to the Revolving Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Revolving Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Revolving Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate,


 



67










 


(b) to pay or reimburse each Revolving Lender and the Revolving Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Revolving Lender and of counsel to the Revolving Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Revolving Lender and the Revolving Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and filing fees that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Revolving Lender and the Revolving Administrative Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, Affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other 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 Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Revolving 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 properties owned by such Group Members and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any Revolving Loan Party under any Revolving Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Revolving 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, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.  Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Revolving Borrower agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, 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, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Revolving Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent that any such damages are determined in a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, to result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee.  All amounts due under this Section 8.5 shall be payable not later than ten (10) days after written demand therefor.

8.6     Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.


 



68










 


(a)  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Revolving Borrower, the Revolving Lenders, the Revolving Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Revolving Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that (i) the Revolving Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Revolving Lender and (ii) any attempted assignment or transfer by the Revolving Borrower without such consent shall be null and void.


 


(b)  Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender may, without the consent of the Revolving Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (other than the Revolving Borrower or any of its Affiliates or a natural Person) (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Revolving Loan owing to such Revolving Lender, the Revolving Commitment of such Revolving Lender or any other interest of such Revolving Lender hereunder and under the other Revolving Loan Documents.  In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Revolving Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Revolving Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Revolving Lender shall remain the holder of any such Revolving Loan for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents, and the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Revolving Lender in connection with such Revolving Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Revolving Loan Documents.  In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Revolving Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Revolving Loan Party therefrom, except any amendment, waiver or consent described in clause (i) of the proviso to Section 8.1 that affects such Participant, in each case to the extent subject to such participation.  The Revolving Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Revolving Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Revolving Lender under this Agreement, provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Revolving Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 8.7 as fully as if it were a Revolving Lender hereunder.  The Revolving Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 (and subject to the limitations thereof) with respect to its participation in the Revolving Commitments and the Revolving Loans outstanding from time to time as if it was a Revolving Lender; provided that, in the case of Section 2.14, such Participant shall have complied with the requirements of Section 2.14 (including the requirements under Section 2.14(f) and Section 2.14(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.14(f) and Section 2.14(g) shall be delivered to the participating Revolving Lender)) as if it was a Revolving Lender, and provided, further, that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to Sections 2.13, 2.14 or 2.15 (as the case may be) than the transferor Revolving Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Revolving Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law made subsequent to the date hereof that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Revolving Lender that sells a participation shall, acting as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of the Revolving 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 Revolving Loans or other obligations under this Agreement (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Revolving 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 Revolving Commitments or Revolving Loans or its other obligations under any Revolving Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Revolving Commitment, or Revolving 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, in the absence of manifest error, and such Revolving Lender, each Revolving Loan Party and the Revolving Administrative Agent shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register pursuant to the terms hereof as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.


 



69










 


(c)  Any Revolving Lender other than any Conduit Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time and from time to time assign to any Person (other than the Revolving Borrower or any of its Affiliates) (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance, executed by such Assignee, such Assignor and any other Person whose consent is required pursuant to this paragraph, and delivered to the Revolving Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that (i) the consent of the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent (which, in each case, shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and in the case of the Revolving Borrower shall be deemed to have been given if the Revolving Borrower has not responded to a proposed assignment within ten (10) Business Days following its receipt of notice of such proposed assignment) shall be required in the case of (x) any assignment to a Person that is not a Revolving Lender or a Revolving Lender Affiliate or (y) any assignment of a Revolving Commitment to a Person that is not a Revolving Lender or a Revolving Lender Affiliate (except that the consent of the Revolving Borrower shall not be required for any assignment that occurs when either a Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing), (ii) unless otherwise agreed by the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent, no such assignment to an Assignee (other than any Revolving Lender or any Revolving Lender Affiliate) shall be in an aggregate Dollar Equivalent principal amount of less than $5,000,000, in each case except in the case of an assignment of all of a Revolving Lender’s interests under this Agreement and (iii) any such assignment to an Assignee will include a corresponding assignment of the Assignor’s rights and obligations under the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement.  For purposes of the proviso contained in the preceding sentence, the amount described therein shall be aggregated in respect of each Revolving Lender and its Revolving Lender Affiliates, if any.  Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (w) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Revolving Lender hereunder with a Revolving Commitment and/or Revolving Loans as set forth therein, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall become and be deemed a party to the Framework Agreement and a “Revolving Lender” and “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, shall enjoy all rights and assume all of the obligations of the Assignor as a Revolving Lender and a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Framework Agreement, (y) the Assignee thereunder shall become and be deemed a party to the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and a “Pre-Export Lender” thereunder for all purposes thereof and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, shall enjoy all rights and assume all of the obligations of the Assignee as a Pre-Export Lender set forth in the Pre-Export Credit Agreement and (z) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement, the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto and under the Framework Agreement and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign at any time to its designating Revolving Lender hereunder without the consent of the Revolving Borrower or the Revolving Administrative Agent any or all of the Revolving Loans it may have funded hereunder and pursuant to its designation agreement and without regard to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.6(c).


 



70










 


(d)  The Revolving Administrative Agent, acting as a non-fiduciary agent of the Revolving Borrower solely for tax purposes, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.2 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Revolving Lenders and the Revolving Commitment of, and the principal amount (and stated interest) of the Revolving Loans owing to, each Revolving Lender from time to time, which Register shall be made available to the Revolving Borrower and any Revolving Lender upon reasonable request.  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of manifest error, and the Revolving Borrower, each other Revolving Loan Party, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Revolving Loans and any Notes evidencing the Revolving Loans recorded therein for all purposes of this Agreement.  Any assignment of any Revolving Loan, whether or not evidenced by a Note, shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register (and each Note shall expressly so provide).  Any assignment or transfer of all or part of a Revolving Loan evidenced by a Note shall be registered on the Register only upon surrender for registration of assignment or transfer of the Note evidencing such Revolving Loan, accompanied by a duly executed Assignment and Acceptance, and thereupon one or more new Notes shall be issued to the designated Assignee.


 



71










 


(e)  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor, an Assignee and any other Person whose consent is required by Section 8.6(c), together with payment to the Revolving Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (such fee not to be payable by the Revolving Borrower, except for an assignment pursuant to Section 2.18), the Revolving Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register on the effective date determined pursuant thereto.


 


(f)   For avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 8.6 concerning assignments relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests, including any pledge or assignment by a Revolving Lender to any Federal Reserve Bank or any other central bank in accordance with applicable law.


 


(g)  The Revolving Borrower, upon receipt of written notice from the relevant Revolving Lender, agrees to issue Notes to any Revolving Lender requiring Notes to facilitate transactions of the type described in paragraph (f) above.


 


(h)  Each of the Revolving Borrower, each Revolving Lender and the Revolving Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Revolving Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance.


 


8.7     Adjustments; Set-off.


 


(a)  Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides for payments to be allocated to a particular Revolving Lender or to the Revolving Lenders on a non pro rata basis, if any Revolving Lender (a “Benefitted Revolving Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, 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 6(g), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Revolving Lender, if any, in respect of the Obligations owing to such other Revolving Lender, such Benefitted Revolving Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Revolving Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Revolving Lender, or shall provide such other Revolving Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefitted Revolving Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Revolving Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefitted Revolving Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.


 



72










 


(b)  In addition to any rights and remedies of the Revolving Lenders provided by law, each Revolving Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by the Guarantor and the Revolving Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount 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 Revolving Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor or the Revolving Borrower, as the case may be.  Each Revolving Lender agrees promptly to notify the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Revolving Lender, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.


 


8.8     Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or portable document format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.  A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Revolving Borrower and the Revolving Administrative Agent.


 


8.9     Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement that 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 unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.


 


8.10     Integration.  This Agreement, the other Revolving Loan Documents and the Pre-Export Credit Agreement represent the entire agreement of the Guarantor, the Revolving Borrower, the Revolving Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Revolving Administrative Agent or any Revolving Lender relative to the subject matter hereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein, in the other Revolving Loan Documents or in the Pre-Export Credit Agreement.


 



73










 


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


 


8.12     Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers.  The Revolving Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally:
