The Purchasers named in the Purchaser Schedules hereto

c/o NYL Investors LLC

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The undersigned, Matson, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (“Matson”) (together with any successor thereto that becomes a party hereto pursuant to the terms hereof, the “Company”), agrees with each of the Purchasers as follows:

 

1.                                      AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES.

 

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $75,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.92% Senior Notes due 2045 (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time pursuant to Section 17 and including any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13, the “Notes”).  The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit A.  Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B.  References to a “Schedule” are references to a Schedule attached to this Agreement unless otherwise specified.  References to a “Section” are references to a Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified.

 

2.                                      SALE AND PURCHASE OF NOTES; CLOSING.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to each Purchaser and each Purchaser will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for below, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite such Purchaser’s name in Schedule B at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof.  The Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder.

 

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by each Purchaser shall occur at the offices of Winston & Strawn LLP, 200 Park Avenue, New York, NY 10166, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on a Business Day selected by the Company, upon not less than 3 Business Days’ notice to the Purchasers, between September 1, 2015 and September 30, 2015.  At the Closing the Company will deliver to each Purchaser the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser in the form of a single Note (or such greater number of Notes in denominations of at least $1,000,000 as such Purchaser may request) dated the date of the

Closing and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Company or its order of immediately available funds in the amount of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the date of the Closing (herein called the “Closing Date”) for credit to the account or accounts as shall be specified in a letter on the Company’s letterhead, in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto, delivered from the Company to the Purchasers at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to any Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of any of the conditions specified in Section 4 not having been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction or such failure by the Company to tender such Notes.

 

3.                                      CONDITIONS OF CLOSING.  Each Purchaser’s obligation to purchase and pay for the Notes to be sold to such Purchaser at the Closing is subject to the fulfillment to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, prior to or at the Closing, of the following conditions:

 

3A.                             Certain Documents.  Each Purchaser shall have received the following, each dated the Closing Date (unless otherwise specified):

(ii)  the Multiparty Guaranty, made by Matson Navigation and any other Subsidiaries of the Company which are guarantors under the Bank Credit Agreement as of the Closing Date in favor of the holders of the Notes and in the form of Exhibit C-1 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Multiparty Guaranty”);

 

(iii)  the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, by and among the Credit Parties and in the form of Exhibit C-2 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indemnity and Contribution Agreement”);

 

(iv)  a favorable opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP, special counsel to the Credit Parties, and Goodsill, Anderson, Quinn & Stifel, special counsel to the Credit Parties, in form and substance satisfactory to such Purchaser (the Company hereby directs such counsel to deliver such opinion, agrees that the issuance and sale of the Notes will constitute a reconfirmation of such direction, and understands and agrees that each Purchaser receiving such an opinion will and is hereby authorized to rely on such opinion);

 

(v)  a favorable opinion of Winston & Strawn LLP, special counsel to the Purchasers, satisfactory to such Purchaser as to such matters incident to the matters herein contemplated as it may reasonably request;

 

(vi)  certified copies of the resolutions of the Board of Directors of each Credit Party authorizing the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party (including, in the case of the Company, the issuance, execution and

(vii)  a certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and one other officer of each Credit Party certifying the names and true signatures of the officers of such Person authorized to sign the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party and the other documents to be delivered hereunder;

The representations and warranties of each Credit Party contained in paragraph 8 hereof and in each other Transaction Document shall be true in all material respects (other than such representations and warranties as are expressly qualified by materiality (including Material Adverse Effect), which representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all respects) on and as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to another date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (other than such representations and warranties as are expressly qualified by materiality (including Material Adverse Effect), which representations and warranties shall be true, correct and complete in all respects) as of such other date); there shall exist on the Closing Date no Event of Default or Default; and each Credit Party shall have delivered to each Purchaser an Officer’s Certificate, dated the Closing Date, to such effects.

 

3C.                             Purchase Permitted by Applicable Laws.

This paragraph 3C is a closing condition and shall not be construed as a tax indemnity.

 

3D.                             Material Adverse Change.  No material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise), or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, since December 31, 2014 shall have occurred.

 

3

 

3E.                             Fees and Expenses.  Without limiting the provisions of paragraph 11B hereof, the Company shall have paid the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of special counsel to the Purchasers to the extent invoiced by no later than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date.

 

3F.                              Private Placement Number.  A Private Placement Number issued by Standard & Poor’s CUSIP Service Bureau (in cooperation with the SVO) shall have been obtained for the Notes.

 

3G.                            Intercreditor Agreement.  Each party hereto shall have duly executed and delivered such documents and taken all actions required under the Intercreditor Agreement to cause the Notes and all other obligations of the Credit Parties under the Transaction Documents to constitute “Additional Agreement Obligations”, as such term is defined in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

4.                                      PREPAYMENTS.  The Notes shall be subject to required prepayment as and to the extent provided in paragraph 4A.  The Notes shall also be subject to prepayment under the circumstances set forth in paragraph 4B.

 

4A.                             Required Prepayments of Notes.  Until the Notes shall be paid in full, the Company shall apply to the prepayment thereof, without premium, such principal amounts of the Notes, together with interest thereon to the prepayment dates, as is set forth on Schedule 4A attached hereto, which prepayment dates shall be on the anniversary of the date of the Closing in each year from 2017 through and including 2044.  The remaining outstanding principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued and unpaid interest thereon, shall become due on the maturity date of the Notes, which date shall be the thirtieth anniversary of the date of the Closing.

 

4B.                             Optional Prepayment With Yield-Maintenance Amount.  The Notes shall be subject to prepayment, in whole at any time or from time to time in part (in integral multiples of $100,000 and in a minimum amount of $1,000,000), at the option of the Company, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus interest thereon to the prepayment date and the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to each such Note.  Any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this paragraph 4B shall be applied in satisfaction of required payments of principal in inverse order of their scheduled due dates.

 

4C.                             Notice of Optional Prepayment.  The Company shall give the holder of each Note to be prepaid pursuant to paragraph 4B irrevocable written notice of such prepayment not less than five Business Days prior to the prepayment date, specifying such prepayment date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, the principal amount of the Notes held by such holder to be prepaid on that date and that such prepayment is to be made pursuant to paragraph 4B and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Yield-Maintenance Amount in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.  Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such 

 

4

 

Yield-Maintenance Amount as of the specified prepayment date.  Notice of prepayment having been given as aforesaid, the principal amount of the Notes specified in such notice, together with interest thereon to the prepayment date and together with the Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, herein provided, shall become due and payable on such prepayment date.  The Company shall, on or before the day on which it gives written notice of any prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4B, give telephonic notice of the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid and the prepayment date to each Significant Holder which shall have designated a recipient for such notices in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or by notice in writing to the Company.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any notice of prepayment of the Notes in whole given by the Company may state that such prepayment notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or capital raising, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Company (by notice to the holders on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

 

4D.                             Application of Prepayments.  In the case of each prepayment of less than the entire unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B, the amount to be prepaid shall be applied pro rata to all outstanding Notes (including, in the case of prepayments pursuant to paragraph 4A for the purpose of this paragraph 4D only, all Notes prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraph 4A or 4B) according to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof.

 

4E.                             Retirement of Notes.  The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its Subsidiaries or any other Affiliates to, prepay or otherwise retire in whole or in part prior to their stated final maturity (other than by prepayment pursuant to paragraphs 4A or 4B, or upon acceleration of such final maturity pursuant to paragraph 7A), or purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, Notes held by any holder unless the Company or such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have offered to prepay or otherwise retire or purchase or otherwise acquire, as the case may be, the same proportion of the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by each other holder of Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions.  Any Notes so prepaid or otherwise retired or purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates shall not be deemed to be outstanding for any purpose under this Agreement, except as provided in paragraph 4D.

 

5.                                      AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any Note or amount due hereunder or under any other Transaction Document (other than any contingent indemnification obligation) is outstanding or unpaid, the Company covenants as follows:

 

5A.                             Financial Statements.  The Company covenants that it will deliver to each Purchaser and each holder of the Notes:

(iii)  promptly upon transmission thereof, copies of all such financial, proxy and information statements, notices and other reports as are sent to the Company’s public stockholders and copies of all registration statements (without exhibits) and all reports which are filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or any governmental body or agency succeeding to the functions of the Securities and Exchange Commission);

 

(iv)  promptly upon receipt thereof, a copy of each other material report submitted to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by independent accountants in connection with any material annual, interim or special audit made by them of the books of the Company or such Subsidiary;

 

(v)  promptly after the furnishing thereof, copies of any certificate, statement or report furnished to any other lender to, or holder of the debt securities of, the Company pursuant to the terms of any indenture, loan, credit or similar agreement or instrument and not otherwise required to be furnished to the holders of the Notes pursuant to any other clause of this paragraph 5A; and

 

(vi)  with reasonable promptness, such other financial data as any Purchaser or holder of Notes may reasonably request.

 

The documents required to be delivered by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above (to the extent any such documents are included in materials otherwise filed with the SEC) may be delivered electronically and if so delivered, shall be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which the Company shall provide each Purchaser or holder of Notes (by electronic mail at such holder’s electronic mail address as set forth on the Purchaser Schedules or at such other electronic mail address as any such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing) with an electronic link to such documents.

 

6

 

Together with each delivery of financial statements required by clauses (i) and (ii) above, the Company will deliver to each Purchaser or holder of Notes an Officers’ Certificate (a) demonstrating (with computations in reasonable detail) compliance with the covenants in paragraphs 6A(1), 6A(2), 6A(3), 6C(4) and 6C(6) (including with respect to each such covenant, where applicable, a reconciliation from GAAP, as reflected in the financial statements then being furnished, to the calculation of such financial covenants, after giving effect to any change in accounting for Capitalized Lease Obligations which has occurred after June 4, 2012), (b) listing each Material Subsidiary (and identifying whether or not such Material Subsidiary is a Domestic Subsidiary) as of the end of the applicable period to which the accompanying financial statements pertain and (c) stating that there exists no Default or Event of Default, or if any Default or Event of Default exists, specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

The Company also covenants that forthwith upon a Responsible Officer of the Company obtaining actual knowledge of an Event of Default or Default, it will deliver to each Purchaser or holder of Notes an Officers’ Certificate specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

 

5B.          Inspection of Property.  The Company covenants that it will permit any Person designated by any Significant Holder in writing, at such Significant Holder’s expense, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, to examine their books and financial records and to make copies thereof or extracts therefrom and to discuss their affairs, finances and accounts with the principal officers and the Company’s independent certified public accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as such Significant Holder may reasonably request; provided that a principal financial officer of the Company shall have reasonable prior notice of, and may elect to be present during, discussions with the Company’s independent public accountants.

 

5C.          Information Required by Rule 144A.  The Company covenants that it will, upon the request of the Purchaser or holder of any Note, provide such Purchaser or holder, and any qualified institutional buyer designated by such Purchaser or holder, such financial and other information as such Purchaser or holder may reasonably determine to be necessary in order to permit compliance with the information requirements of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in connection with the resale of Notes, except at such times as the Company is subject to and in compliance with the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.  For the purpose of this paragraph 5C, the term “qualified institutional buyer” shall have the meaning specified in Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

 

5D.          Maintenance of Properties; Insurance.  The Company covenants that it shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to (i) maintain or cause to be maintained in good repair, working order and condition all material properties used or useful at that time in its business and from time to time will make or cause to be made all appropriate repairs, renewals and replacements thereof and (ii) maintain insurance with reputable and financially sound insurers in such amounts and against such liabilities and hazards as is customarily maintained by other companies operating similar businesses.

 

7

 

5E.          United States Citizen.  The Company covenants that it will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries that owns or operates any Vessel, at all times to preserve and maintain its status as a Section 2 Citizen.

 

5F.          Environmental and Safety Laws.

 

(a)           The Company shall deliver promptly to each Purchaser or holder of any Notes notice of (i) any material enforcement, cleanup, removal or other material governmental or regulatory action instituted or, to the Company’s best knowledge, threatened against the Company or any Material Subsidiary pursuant to any Environmental and Safety Laws, (ii) all material Environmental Liabilities and Costs against or in respect of the Company or any Material Subsidiary or any of their respective material properties and (iii) the Company’s or any Material Subsidiary’s discovery of any occurrence or condition on any material real property adjoining or in the vicinity of any of its properties that the Company or such Material Subsidiary has reason to believe would cause such property or any material part thereof to be subject to any material restrictions on its ownership, occupancy, transferability or use under any Environmental and Safety Laws.

 

(b)           The Company shall, and shall cause its Material Subsidiaries to, keep and maintain its properties and conduct its and their operations in compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental and Safety Laws except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

5G.         Equal and Ratable Liens.  If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall create, assume or otherwise incur any Lien upon any of its property or assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than Liens permitted by the provisions of paragraph 6C(1) (including in such permitted Liens, without limitation, Liens securing Title XI Debt to the extent such Title XI Debt is permitted Priority Debt), then the Company will make, or will cause its Subsidiaries to make, effective provision whereby the obligations evidenced by the Notes and under the other Transaction Documents will be secured by such Liens equally and ratably with any and all other Debt thereby secured so long as any such other Debt shall be so secured pursuant to an agreement or agreements (including security agreements and similar collateral documents and an intercreditor agreement) reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

 

5H.         Subsequent Guarantors; Release of Guarantors; Collateral.  (a)  Together with each delivery of financial statements required by paragraphs 5A(i) or (ii), the Company shall notify the holders of the Notes in writing if any Subsidiary has become a Material Domestic Subsidiary.  The Company covenants that, upon the earlier of (i) within 30 days after any notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence (or such longer period as determined in writing by the Required Holders in their sole discretion) if such Subsidiary is not a Guarantor at such time, and (ii) concurrently with such time as any Person becomes a guarantor or other obligor under the Bank Credit Agreement or any Other Note Agreement, the Company shall cause such Person to (1) become a party to each of the Multiparty Guaranty and the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement by executing and delivering to the holders of the Notes a joinder or counterpart to the Multiparty Guaranty and the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, and (2) deliver to the holders of the Notes such organization documents, resolutions and favorable opinions of counsel, all in form, content and scope similar to those delivered on the Closing Date 

 

8

 

or otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in clause (i) of the second sentence of this paragraph 5H(a) (but subject to clause (ii) of the second sentence of this paragraph 5H(a)), the Company will be deemed to have complied with the requirements of clause (i) of the second sentence of this paragraph 5H(a) with respect to the Subsidiaries of the Company acquired pursuant to the Horizon Acquisition if, on or before September 15, 2015 (or such longer period as determined in writing by the Required Holders in their sole discretion), the Company shall cause each of such Subsidiaries to comply with the requirements set forth in clauses (1) and (2) of the second sentence of this paragraph 5H(a).

 

(b)  If (i) any Guarantor ceases to be a Material Domestic Subsidiary (based on the most recent financial statements delivered to the holders of the Notes pursuant to paragraphs 5A(i) or (ii)), or (ii) if any Person which has become a Guarantor by virtue of clause (ii) of paragraph 5H(a) (and which is not at the applicable time of determination a Material Domestic Subsidiary (based on the most recent financial statements delivered to the holders of the Notes pursuant to paragraphs 5A(i) or (ii))) ceases to be required to be a guarantor or other obligor of the credit facilities under the Bank Credit Agreement and each Other Note Agreement, and if, in the case of either of the immediately preceding clause (i) or (ii), after giving effect to the release of such Guarantor of its obligations under the Multiparty Guaranty, no Default or Event of Default would exist, then the Company may deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Responsible Officer as to the foregoing requirements and, upon the later of (x) such delivery and (y) concurrently with such time as that Guarantor has been released from all of its obligations as a guarantor or other obligor of the credit facilities under the Bank Credit Agreement and each Other Note Agreement, that Guarantor shall be released automatically from all of its obligations under the Multiparty Guaranty and the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, without further approval or action by any holder of Notes; provided that if any consideration is given to any party to the Bank Credit Agreement or any Other Note Agreement for such release of such Guarantor, then the holders of the Notes shall be paid an amount equal to their ratable share of such consideration concurrently therewith.

Such financial statements (including any related schedules and/or notes) are true and correct in all material respects (subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from audits and year-end adjustments), have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved and show all liabilities, direct and contingent, of the Company and its Subsidiaries required to be shown in accordance with such principles.  The balance sheets fairly present the condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof, and the statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows fairly present the results of the operations and cash flows of the Company and its Subsidiaries for the periods indicated.  No material adverse change in the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, has occurred since December 31, 2014.

8E.          Title to Properties.  The Company has and each Subsidiary has good and indefeasible title to its respective real properties (other than properties which it leases) and good title to all of its other properties and assets, including the properties and assets reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in paragraph 8B (other than properties and assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business) except where the failure to have such good title would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, subject to no Liens of any kind except Liens permitted by paragraph 6C(1).  There is no material default, nor any event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such a material default under any material lease to which either the Company or any Subsidiary is a lessee, lessor, sublessee or sublessor.

 

8F.          Taxes.  The Company has and each Material Subsidiary has filed all federal and state income tax and all other material tax and informational returns which are required to be filed by it.  The Company and each such Subsidiary has paid all taxes as shown on its returns and on all assessments received to the extent that such taxes are not yet delinquent, except such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP.

 

8G.         Conflicting Agreements and Other Matters.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, nor the offering, issuance and sale of the Notes, nor fulfillment of nor compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document will conflict with, or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in any violation of, or result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary pursuant to, their respective articles or incorporation or bylaws (or other comparable governing documents, as applicable), any award of any arbitrator or any agreement, instrument, order, judgment, decree, statute, law, rule or regulation to which the Company or any Subsidiary is subject.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing any of their respective Debt, any agreement relating thereto or any other contract or agreement which restricts or otherwise limits the incurring of Debt pursuant hereto, except as set forth on Schedule 8G hereto.

 

8H.         Offering of the Notes.  Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any person other than the Purchasers and not more than 3 other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment.  Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the provisions of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the provisions of any securities or blue sky law of any applicable jurisdiction.

 

8I.           Use of Proceeds; Regulation U, Etc.  The proceeds of sale of the Notes will be used for general corporate purposes or otherwise in accordance with law.  None of the proceeds of the Notes have been or will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing or carrying any “margin stock” (as defined in Regulation U (12 CFR Part 221) of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin stock”)) or for the purpose of maintaining, reducing or retiring any 

 

20

 

indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any stock that is currently a margin stock or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose credit” within the meaning of such Regulation U.  Neither the Company nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken or will take any action which might cause this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document to violate Regulation U, Regulation T or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to violate the Exchange Act, in each case as in effect now or as the same may hereafter be in effect.  After applying the proceeds of the Notes, margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U) will not constitute more than 25% of the value of the assets (either of the Company alone or the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis).

 

8J.          ERISA.  No accumulated funding deficiency (as defined in section 302 of ERISA and section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, exists with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan).  No liability to the PBGC has been or is expected by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate to be incurred with respect to any Plan (other than a Multiemployer Plan) by the Company, any Subsidiary or any ERISA Affiliate which is or would be materially adverse to the business, condition (financial or otherwise) or operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.  None of the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or presently expects to incur any withdrawal liability under Title IV of ERISA with respect to any Multiemployer Plan which is or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the issuance and sale of the Notes were and will be exempt from, or did not and will not involve any transaction which is subject to the prohibitions of, section 406 of ERISA and did not and will not involve any transaction in connection with which a penalty could be imposed under section 502(i) of ERISA or a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975 of the Code.  The representation by the Company in the next preceding sentence is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of the representation in paragraph 9B of this Agreement made by each Purchaser.

 

8K.         Governmental Consent.  None of the nature of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective businesses or properties, or any relationship between the Company or a Subsidiary and any other Person, or any circumstance in connection with the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes is such as to require as of the Closing Date on the part of the Company or any Subsidiary any authorization, consent, approval, exemption or other action by, notice to or filing with any court, administrative or governmental body (other than routine filings after the Closing Date with the SEC and/or state blue sky authorities) in connection with (i) the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (ii) the offering, issuance, sale or delivery of the Notes or (iii) fulfillment of or compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents, in each case that has not been obtained.

 

8L.          Holding Company and Investment Company Status.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or a “public utility” within the meaning of the Federal Power Act, as amended.

 

21

 

8M.         Possession of Franchises, Licenses, Etc.

No event has occurred which permits, or after notice or lapse of time or both would permit, the revocation or termination of any such Material Rights, or which materially and adversely affects the rights of the Company or its Subsidiaries thereunder.

 

8N.          Environmental and Safety Matters.  The Company and its Subsidiaries and all of their respective properties and facilities have complied at all times and in all respects with all Environmental and Safety Laws except where failure to comply would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8O.         Employee Relations.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is the subject of (i) any material strike, work slowdown or stoppage, union organizing drive or other similar activity or (ii) any material action, suit, investigation or other proceeding involving alleged employment discrimination, unfair termination, employee safety or similar matters or, to the best knowledge of the Company, is any such event imminent or likely to occur except those which, individually or in aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8P.          Shipping-Related Legislation.  To the best knowledge of the Company, no legislation has been introduced or enacted to either repeal or substantially modify Section 27 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1920, as amended to the Closing Date, commonly referred to as the Jones Act in a manner that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

8Q.         Disclosure.  Neither this Agreement, any other Transaction Document nor any other document, certificate or statement furnished to any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Company in connection herewith contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein and therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that with respect to projections and other pro forma financial information included in such information, the Company only represents that such information was prepared in good faith based upon estimates and assumptions believed by the preparer thereof to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Purchasers that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as a fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

9A.          Nature of Purchase.  Such Purchaser is acquiring the Notes purchased by it hereunder for the purpose of investment for its own account or for the account of funds that it manages for investment purposes and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s property shall at all times be and remain within its control.  Such Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting participation in, or otherwise distributing any of the Notes to be issued to it in any transaction which would be in violation of the securities laws of the United States of America or any state or other jurisdiction thereof, without prejudice, however, to Purchaser’s rights at all times to sell or otherwise dispose of all or any part of such securities under a registration under Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration available under the Securities Act and subject, nevertheless, to the disposition of such Purchaser’s property being at all times within its control.  Such Purchaser acknowledges that the Notes will not, on the Closing Date, be registered under the Securities Act, on the grounds that the sale provided for in this Agreement and the issuance of securities hereunder is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, and that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Article 9.

 

24

 

9B.          Source of Funds.  At least one of the following statements is an accurate representation as to each source of funds (a “Source”) to be used by such Purchaser to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser hereunder:

 

(i)            the Source is an “insurance company general account” (as that term is defined in the United States Department of Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of the general account (exclusive of separate account liabilities) plus surplus as set forth in the NAIC Annual Statement filed with such Purchaser’s state of domicile; or

 

(ii)           the Source is a separate account that is maintained solely in connection with such Purchaser’s fixed contractual obligations under which the amounts payable, or credited, to any employee benefit plan (or its related trust) that has any interest in such separate account (or to any participant or beneficiary of such plan (including any annuitant)) are not affected in any manner by the investment performance of the separate account; or

25

 

(v)                                 the Source constitutes assets of a “plan(s)” (within the meaning of Part IV of PTE 96-23 (the “INHAM Exemption”)) managed by an “in-house asset manager” or “INHAM” (within the meaning of Part IV of the INHAM Exemption), the conditions of Part I (g) and (h) of the INHAM Exemption are satisfied, neither the INHAM nor a person controlling or controlled by the INHAM (applying the definition of “control” in Part IV(d) of the INHAM Exemption) owns a 10% or more interest in the Company and (a) the identity of such INHAM and (b) the name(s) of the employee benefit plan(s) whose assets constitute the Source have been disclosed to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (v); or

 

(vi)                              the Source is a governmental plan; or

 

(vii)                           the Source is one or more employee benefit plans, or a separate account or trust fund comprised of one or more employee benefit plans, each of which has been identified to the Company in writing pursuant to this clause (vii); or

 

(viii)                        the Source does not include assets of any employee benefit plan, other than a plan exempt from the coverage of ERISA.

 

As used in this paragraph 9B, the terms “employee benefit plan”, “governmental plan”, and “separate account” shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in Section 3 of ERISA.

9D.                             Rule 144.  Such Purchaser understands that the Notes may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of without registration under the Securities Act or the availability of an exemption therefrom and that in the absence of such registration or exemption,

such proposed modification shall be effected or proposed consent granted, and (ii) the reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by any Purchaser or any Transferee in enforcing any rights under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Collateral Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or by reason of any Purchaser’s or any Transferee’s having acquired any Note, including without limitation costs and expenses incurred in any bankruptcy case, provided however, the Company will not be required to pay the expenses of any holder of a Note or any Transferee in connection with the transfer of any Note by any holder of a Note to any Transferee.  The obligations of the Company under this paragraph 11B shall survive the transfer of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein by any Purchaser or any Transferee and the payment of any Note.

 

11C.                      Consent to Amendments.  This Agreement may be amended, and the Company may take any action herein prohibited, or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, if the Company shall obtain the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Required Holder(s) of the Notes except that, (i) without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to this Agreement shall change the maturity of any Note, or change or affect the principal thereof, or change or affect the rate or time of payment of interest on or any Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to the Notes, and (ii) without the written consent of the holder or holders of all Notes at the time outstanding, no amendment to or waiver of the provisions of this Agreement shall change or affect the provisions of paragraph 7A or this paragraph 11C insofar as such provisions relate to proportions of the principal amount of the Notes, or the rights of any individual holder of Notes, required with respect to any declaration of Notes to be due and payable or with respect to any consent, amendment, waiver or declaration.  Each holder of any Note at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by this paragraph 11C, whether or not such Note shall have been marked to indicate such consent, but any Notes issued thereafter may bear a notation referring to any such consent.  No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note.  As used herein and in the Notes, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto means this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

 

11D.                      Form, Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Notes.  The Notes are issuable as registered notes without coupons in denominations of at least $1,000,000, except as may be necessary to reflect any principal amount not evenly divisible by $1,000,000.  The Company shall keep at its principal office a register in which the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes.  Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the principal office of the Company, the Company shall, at its expense, execute and deliver one or more new Notes of like tenor and of a like aggregate principal amount, registered in the name of such transferee or transferees.  At the option of the holder of any Note, such Note may be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor and of any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Note to be exchanged at the principal office of the Company.  Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall, at its

 

41

 

expense, execute and deliver the Notes which the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Each prepayment of principal payable on each prepayment date upon each new Note issued upon any such transfer or exchange shall be in the same proportion to the unpaid principal amount of such new Note as the prepayment of principal payable on such date on the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange bore to the unpaid principal amount of such Note.  No reference need be made in any such new Note to any prepayment or prepayments of principal previously due and paid upon the Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.  Every Note surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed, by the holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.  Any Note or Notes issued in exchange for any Note or upon transfer thereof shall carry the rights to unpaid interest and interest to accrue which were carried by the Note so exchanged or transferred, so that neither gain nor loss of interest shall result from any such transfer or exchange.  Upon receipt of written notice from the holder of any Note of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Note and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of such holder’s unsecured indemnity agreement, or in the case of any such mutilation upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Company will make and deliver a new Note, of like tenor, in lieu of the lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

11E.                      Persons Deemed Owners; Participations.  Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Company may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered as the owner and holder of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and interest on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be overdue, and the Company shall not be affected by notice to the contrary.  Subject to the preceding sentence, the holder of any Note may from time to time grant participations in all or any part of such Note on such terms and conditions as may be determined by such holder in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

11F.                       Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement.  All representations and warranties contained herein, in any other Transaction Document or made in writing by or on behalf of the Company or any other Credit Party in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, the transfer of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any Transferee, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any Transferee.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents embody the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

 

11G.                     Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and other agreements in this Agreement contained by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto (including, without limitation, any Transferee) whether so expressed or not.

 

11H.                     Independence of Covenants.  All covenants hereunder and in the other Transaction Documents shall be given independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is prohibited by any one of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an 

 

42

 

exception to, or otherwise be in compliance within the limitations of, another covenant shall not (i) avoid the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default if such action is taken or such condition exists or (ii) in any way prejudice an attempt by the holder of any Note to prohibit, through equitable action or otherwise, the taking of any action by the Company or any Subsidiary which would result in a Default or Event of Default.

 

11I.                          Notices.  All written communications provided for hereunder shall be sent by first class mail or nationwide overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid) and (i) if to any Purchaser, addressed as specified for such communications in the Purchaser Schedule attached hereto or at such other address as any such Purchaser shall have specified to the Company in writing, (ii) if to any other holder of any Note, addressed to it at such address as it shall have specified in writing to the Company or, if any such holder shall not have so specified an address, then addressed to such holder in care of the last holder of such Note which shall have so specified an address to the Company and (iii) if to the Company, addressed to it at 555 12th Street, 8th Floor, Oakland, CA 94067, Attention:  Chief Financial Officer or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to each holder of a Note in writing, provided, however, that any such communication to the Company may also, at the option of the Person sending such communication, be delivered by any other means either to the Company at its address specified above or to any Authorized Officer of the Company.

 

11J.                        Descriptive Headings.  The descriptive headings of the several paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.

 

11K.                     Satisfaction Requirement.  If any agreement, certificate or other writing, or any action taken or to be taken, is, by the terms of this Agreement, required to be satisfactory to any Purchaser or the Required Holder(s), the determination of such satisfaction shall be made by such Purchaser or the Required Holder(s), as the case may be, in the sole and exclusive judgment (exercised in good faith) of the Person(s) making such determination.

 

11L.                      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice of law principles of the law of such state that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such state.

 

11M.                   Payments Due on Non-Business Days.  Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or interest, or Yield-Maintenance Amount payable with respect to, any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

 

11N.                      Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

43

 

11O.                     Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

 

(i)                                     The Company irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.  To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Company irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 

(ii)                                  The Company consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in paragraph 11O(i) by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in paragraph 11I or at such other address of which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to paragraph 11I.  The Company agrees that such service upon receipt (a) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (b) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.  Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

 

(iii)                               Nothing in this paragraph 11O shall affect the right of any holder of a Note to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that the holders of any of the Notes may have to bring proceedings against the Company in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

 

(iv)                              The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

 

WITHOUT INTENDING IN ANY WAY TO LIMIT THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY, IF THE ABOVE WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS NOT ENFORCEABLE, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OR CONTROVERSIES OF ANY NATURE CONCERNING THIS AGREEMENT AND THE MATTERS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EACH, A “CLAIM”), INCLUDING ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS OF LAW OR FACT RELATING THERETO, SHALL, AT THE WRITTEN REQUEST OF ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, BE DETERMINED BY JUDICIAL REFERENCE PURSUANT TO THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE (“REFERENCE”).  IN SUCH EVENT, THE PARTIES SHALL SELECT A SINGLE NEUTRAL REFEREE, WHO SHALL BE A RETIRED STATE OR FEDERAL JUDGE.  IN THE EVENT THAT THE PARTIES CANNOT AGREE UPON A REFEREE, THE REFEREE SHALL BE APPOINTED BY THE COURT.  THE REFEREE SHALL REPORT A STATEMENT OF DECISION TO THE COURT.  NOTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY AT ANY TIME TO EXERCISE ANY AVAILABLE SELF-HELP REMEDIES, FORECLOSE AGAINST 

 

44

 

ANY COLLATERAL OR OBTAIN PROVISIONAL REMEDIES.  THE PARTIES SHALL BEAR THE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE REFEREE EQUALLY UNLESS THE REFEREE ORDERS OTHERWISE.  THE REFEREE SHALL ALSO DETERMINE ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS PARAGRAPH.  THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE CLAIMS WILL NOT BE ADJUDICATED BY A JURY.

 

11P.                       Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which             shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument.

 

11Q.                     Binding Agreement.  When this Agreement is executed and delivered by the signatories hereto, it shall become a binding agreement (subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth herein) of the signatories hereto.

1.              GUARANTY.

 

(a)                                 Unconditional Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably guarantees to each of the Beneficiaries the complete payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and due performance of all Guaranteed Obligations.  The term “Guaranteed Obligations” means all loans, advances, debts, liabilities and obligations for monetary amounts and otherwise from time to time owing by the Company to the Beneficiaries in connection with the Note Agreement, the Notes and the other Transaction Documents, whether due or to become due, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, contingent or non-contingent, and all covenants and duties regarding such amounts, of any kind or nature, present or future, whether or not evidenced by any note, agreement or instrument, arising under or in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.  This term includes all principal, interest (including interest that accrues after the commencement

 

 

with respect to the Company of any action under applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law under any applicable jurisdiction, whether or not a claim for post-petition interest is allowed as a claim in such bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding), Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, or other prepayment consideration, if any, overdue interest, indemnification payments, fees, expenses, costs or other sums (including, without limitation, all fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) chargeable to the Company under the Note Agreement, the Notes or the other Transaction Documents.

 

(b)                                 Reimbursement of Expenses of Guarantors.  Each Guarantor also agrees to pay upon demand all costs and expenses of the Beneficiaries (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel) incurred by the Beneficiaries in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Transaction Documents to which such Guarantor is a party.

 

(c)                                  Guaranteed Obligations Unaffected.  No payment or payments made by any other Guarantor, guarantor or by any other Person, or received or collected by any of the Beneficiaries from any other Guarantor, guarantor or from any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any setoff or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of each of the Guarantors hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payments, remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to Section 7 below, until the Guaranteed Obligations are paid in full (other than contingent indemnity obligations for which no claim has been made).

 

(d)                                 Joint and Several Liability.  All Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns shall be jointly and severally liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the expenses required to be reimbursed to the Beneficiaries pursuant to Section 1(b), above, notwithstanding any relationship or contract of co-obligation by or among the Guarantors or their successors and assigns.

 

(e)                                  Enforcement of Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Guarantor hereby jointly and severally agrees, in furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Beneficiary may have at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue hereof, that upon the failure of the Company to pay any of the Guaranteed Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise (including amounts that would become due but for the operation of the automatic stay under Section 362(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. § 362(a)), that the Guarantors will upon demand pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, the unpaid amount of all Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Beneficiary or Beneficiaries making such demand an amount equal to all of the Guaranteed Obligations then due to such Beneficiary or Beneficiaries.

 

(f)                                   Notice of Payment Under Guaranty.  Each Guarantor agrees that whenever, at any time, or from time to time, it shall make any payment to any of the Beneficiaries on account of its liability hereunder, it will notify such Beneficiary in writing that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.

2.              SUBROGATION.

 

Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by any Guarantor hereunder, each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, solely with respect to such payment or payments, any and all rights of subrogation to the rights of the Beneficiaries against the Company and, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Indemnity and Contribution Agreement, any and all rights of contribution, reimbursement, repayment, assignment, indemnification or implied contract or any similar rights against the Company, any endorser or other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, in each case until such time as the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash (subject to Section 7 below).  In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Guaranteed Obligations shall remain outstanding, no Guarantor shall take any action or commence any proceeding against the Company or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations (or any of their respective successors, transferees or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or otherwise), to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this Guaranty to the Beneficiaries.

 

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of such subrogation or other rights at any time when all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not have been paid in full in cash (subject to Section 7 below), such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Beneficiaries, segregated from other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over (i) to each Beneficiary (ratably based on the principal amount outstanding of Notes held by such Beneficiary at such time as a percentage of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of Notes held by all the Beneficiaries at such time) in the exact form received by such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to such Beneficiary if required), to be applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as such Beneficiary may determine, or (ii) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

 

3.              AMENDMENTS, ETC., WITH RESPECT TO THE GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS.

 

Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding:  (a) that any demand for payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations made by any Beneficiary may be rescinded by such Beneficiary, and any of the Guaranteed Obligations continued; (b) that any of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents or any other document executed in connection with any of them may be renewed, extended, amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part (and each Guarantor expressly waives, any and all of its rights to consent to any of the foregoing actions described in this clause (b) and agrees that no such action, absent such Guarantor’s consent, will result in the exoneration of such Guarantor under applicable law); (c) that any guaranty, collateral or right of setoff at any time held by any Person for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations may be obtained, sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released; (d) any loss or impairment of any rights of subrogation, reimbursement, repayment, contribution, indemnification or other similar rights of any Guarantor against the Company, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to all or any part of the 

 

3

 

Guaranteed Obligations; (e) any assignment or other transfer by any holder of the Notes of any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Notes; (f) any impossibility of performance, impracticability, frustration of purpose or illegality under the Note Agreement, the Notes or any other Transaction Document or any force majeure or act of any governmental authority; or (g) any reorganization, merger, amalgamation or consolidation of the Company or any Guarantor with or into any other Person.  Each Guarantor hereby waives, any and all defenses, counterclaims or offsets which such Guarantor might or could have by reason of any of the foregoing and any other defense or objection which such Guarantor might or could have to the absolute, primary and continuing nature, or the validity, enforceability or amount of this Guaranty (other than any defense based upon the final payment in full in cash and performance in full of the Guaranteed Obligations).

 

4.              GUARANTY ABSOLUTE AND UNCONDITIONAL.

 

Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension, amendment, modification or accrual of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Beneficiary upon this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty.  The Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents and the Guaranteed Obligations in respect of any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted for or incurred in reliance upon this Guaranty; and all dealings between the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, and any of the Beneficiaries, on the other, shall likewise conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  Each Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Company, the other Guarantors, any other guarantor or itself with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations.  This Guaranty shall be construed as a continuing, irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guaranty of payment, performance and compliance when due (and not of collection) and is a primary obligation of each Guarantor without regard to (a) the validity or enforceability of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents, any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other guaranty or right of setoff with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by any Beneficiary, (b) any defense, setoff or counterclaim (other than a defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Company or any one or more of the other Guarantors against any Beneficiary, or (c) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Company or any other Guarantor or guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Company, the other Guarantors or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, in bankruptcy or in any other instance.

 

When pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any of the Guarantors, any Beneficiary may, but shall be under no obligation to, pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against any other Guarantor or any other Person under a guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligations or any right of setoff with respect thereto, and any failure by such Beneficiary to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from any such other Guarantor or Person or to realize upon any such guaranty or to exercise any such right of setoff, or any release of any such other Guarantor or Person or any such guaranty or right of setoff, shall not relieve the Guarantors of any liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of each of the Beneficiaries against the Guarantors.

 

4

 

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Guarantor waives any rights and defenses which are or may become available to such Guarantor by reason of California Civil Code §§2787 through 2855, 2899 and 3433 and California Code of Civil Procedure §§580a, 580b, 580d and 726.  Accordingly, each Guarantor waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Company’s debt is secured by real property.  This means, among other things:  (A) the Beneficiaries may collect from such Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property Collateral pledged by the Company; and (B) if the collateral agent with respect thereto forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Company:  (1) the amount of the debt may be reduced only by the price for which that collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more than the sale price, and (2) the Beneficiaries may collect from such Guarantor even if the collateral agent, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right such Guarantor may have to collect from the Company.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any Guarantor may have because the Company’s debt is secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights of defenses based upon §§580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.  Further, each Guarantor waives any right or defense it may have at law or equity, including California Code of Civil Procedure §580a, to a fair market value hearing or action to determine a deficiency judgment after a foreclosure.  As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.  The foregoing is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean that any of the above referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this Guaranty or the Guaranteed Obligations.

 

5.              DUTY OF GUARANTORS TO STAY INFORMED.

 

Each of the Guarantors hereby agrees that it has complete and absolute responsibility for keeping itself informed of the business, operations, properties, assets, condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company, the other Guarantors, any and all endorsers and any and all guarantors of the Guaranteed Obligations and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the obligations evidenced by the Notes or the Guaranteed Obligations, and each of the Guarantors further agrees that the Beneficiaries shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility to advise it of any such facts or other information, whether now known or hereafter ascertained, and each Guarantor hereby waives any such duty, obligation or responsibility on the part of the Beneficiaries to disclose such facts or other information to any Guarantor.

 

6.              REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

 

Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to each of the Beneficiaries that, as of the date such Person becomes a party hereto:

In addition, such Guarantor (including Matson Terminals, Inc.) will have received fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value in exchange for incurring its Debt under this Guaranty.

(k)                                 Neither such Guarantor nor its properties or assets have any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service of process or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) under applicable law.

9.              SEVERABILITY.

 

Whenever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under all applicable laws and regulations.  If, however, any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid under any such law or regulation, it shall be deemed modified to conform to the minimum requirements of such law or regulation, or, if for any reason it is not deemed so modified, it shall be ineffective and invalid only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without the remainder thereof or any of the remaining provisions of this Guaranty being prohibited or invalid.

12.       ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

 

This Guaranty constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Beneficiaries, on the other hand.

Persons may become parties hereto, as additional Guarantors (each an “Additional Guarantor”), in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement by executing a counterpart of this Guaranty.  Upon delivery of any such executed counterpart, notice of which is hereby waived by the Guarantors, each such Additional Guarantor shall be a Guarantor under this Guaranty with the same force and effect, and subject to the same agreements, representations, guaranties, indemnities, liabilities and obligations as if such Additional Guarantor were an original signatory hereof.  Each Guarantor expressly agrees that its obligations arising hereunder shall not be affected or diminished by the addition or release of any other Guarantor hereunder, nor by any election of the Beneficiaries not to cause any Person otherwise obligated to become a Guarantor hereunder pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement to become an Additional Guarantor hereunder.  This Guaranty shall be fully effective as to any Guarantor that is or becomes a party hereto regardless of whether any other Person becomes or fails to become or ceases to be a Guarantor hereunder.

This Guaranty and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

This Guaranty shall become effective as to each Guarantor upon the execution and delivery of a counterpart hereof by such Guarantor (whether or not a counterpart hereof shall have been executed by any other Person) and receipt of written or telephonic notification of such execution and authorization of delivery thereof.

 

Delivery of an executed counterpart hereof by any Guarantor by facsimile or electronic pdf shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof and shall be considered a representation that an original executed counterpart hereof will be delivered.

 

16.       WAIVERS AND AMENDMENTS; SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

 

No amendment or waiver of any term or provision of this Guaranty or consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the Required Holders; provided, however, that no such amendment reducing any payment obligations under this Guaranty shall be effective unless signed by each Beneficiary.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon (a) the dissolution of any Guarantor, or (b) the sale or other disposition of all of the shares of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equity interests of any Guarantor to any Person other than a Credit Party that, in each case, is permitted under the Note Agreement, such Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns; provided, however, that no Guarantor shall assign this Guaranty or any of the rights or obligations of such Guarantor hereunder without the prior written consent of the Required Holders.  This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of each of the Beneficiaries and its successors, assigns and transferees.

18.       FAILURE OR INDULGENCE NOT WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

 

No failure or delay on the part of any Beneficiary in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.  All rights and remedies existing under this Guaranty are cumulative to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.

 

19.       PERSONAL JURISDICTION.

[FORM OF]

 

INDEMNITY, CONTRIBUTION AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

This INDEMNITY, CONTRIBUTION AND SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of September   , 2015, is entered into among each of the Persons identified on the signature pages hereof as Guarantors, and such other Persons who from time to time become parties hereto in accordance with Section 9 of this Agreement (collectively, the “Guarantors” and each, individually, a “Guarantor”) and Matson, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”).  The Company and the Guarantors are sometimes referred to herein as the “Credit Parties”.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Note Agreement (as defined below).

 

A.            The Company entered into that certain Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with the Purchasers named therein.

 

B.            Matson Navigation Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation and each other undersigned Guarantor is a member of an affiliated group of companies that includes the Company and each of the Guarantors, and the proceeds from the issuance and sale of the Notes will be used, in part, by the Company and the Guarantors in connection with their respective operations.  Each Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the issuance of the Notes and the other transactions contemplated by the Note Agreement.

 

C.            In addition, the Note Agreement requires certain other Persons from time to time to become parties to this Agreement as additional Guarantors.

 

Pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Credit Parties are jointly and severally liable for all obligations (the “Obligations”) under such documents.  Each Credit Party acknowledges that it has received and expects to receive financial and other support, directly or indirectly, from the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, in the form of existing liquidity provided to the Credit Parties by the extension of credit from the issuance and sale of the Notes); accordingly, each Credit Party has determined that it is in its interest and to its financial benefit to execute and deliver an agreement in the form hereof.

 

Accordingly, the Credit Parties agree as follows:

 

SECTION 1.  INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION.

 

A.            Definitions.  The following defined terms are used in this Section 1:

 

 

“Claiming Credit Party” shall mean any Credit Party which has made an Excess Payment, until the amount thereof has been reduced to zero through reimbursements to such Credit Party hereunder or otherwise.

 

“Excess Payment” shall mean, with respect to any payment made by a Credit Party to any holder of a Note pursuant to the terms of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Document on or after any Payment Date, the amount by which such payment exceeds the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes received, directly or indirectly, by such Credit Party as of such Payment Date as a result of the credit provided from the issuance and sale of the Notes.  For purposes of this definition of “Excess Payment”, the amount of any payment made by a Credit Party shall include an amount equal to the gross proceeds from any sale of such Credit Party’s assets pursuant to the Transaction Documents to which such Credit Party is a party to satisfy all or any part of the Obligations.

 

“First Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party as to which a Payment Deficiency exists.

 

“Net Worth” shall mean the difference between the following:  (1) the aggregate value of all assets (including contingent assets) of a Credit Party (at fair valuation and present fair saleable value), less (2) the aggregate amount of all liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of that Credit Party.  Net Worth shall be measured, in the case of each Credit Party, as of the date of this Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Sections 1C and/or 1D below.  In the event that the Net Worth of any Credit Party is less than zero, the Net Worth of such Credit Party shall be zero for purposes of any computation pursuant to Section 1C and/or 1D below.

 

“Payment Date” shall mean the maturity date (or the date of any required prepayment) of any of the Notes or the date of any notice of acceleration delivered by any holder of the Notes to the Company pursuant to paragraph 7A of the Note Agreement with respect to any of the Notes.

 

“Payment Deficiency” shall mean, with respect to any Credit Party as of any Payment Date, the amount by which the aggregate amount of proceeds of the Notes received by such Credit Party, directly or indirectly, from the issuance and sale of the Notes as of such Payment Date exceeds the payments made by such Credit Party under the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty Guaranty or any other Transaction Documents as of such Payment Date.

 

“Second Round Contributing Credit Party” shall mean each Credit Party having a positive Net Worth after giving effect to payments made or received by that Credit Party pursuant to Section 1B below.

 

B.            First Round Contributions.  Each Credit Party agrees (subject to Section 3 hereof) that in the event a payment shall be made by any other Credit Party under any of the Transaction Documents, or assets of any other Credit Party shall be sold pursuant to any mortgage, security agreement or similar instrument or agreement to satisfy any 

 

2

 

Obligations at any time on or after a Payment Date, each First Round Contributing Credit Party shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for the reimbursement to the Claiming Credit Parties of an amount equal to the Excess Payment of each Claiming Credit Party; provided that the aggregate amount owed by any First Round Contributing Credit Party shall not exceed the Payment Deficiency of such First Round Contributing Credit Party.  The aggregate amounts so reimbursed by all First Round Contributing Credit Parties shall be allocated, among all Claiming Credit Parties, in proportion to the Excess Payment made by each such Claiming Credit Party as compared to the aggregate Excess Payments made by all such Claiming Credit Parties.

 

C.            Second Round Contributions.  In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party is not completely reimbursed pursuant to Section 1B above, and such Claiming Credit Party has a negative Net Worth after giving effect to such prior reimbursements (but without giving effect to any other reimbursement right under this Section 1), then there shall be a second contribution round for the benefit of that Claiming Credit Party in accordance with this Section 1C.  The Second Round Contributing Credit Parties shall reimburse, to such Claiming Credit Parties, an aggregate amount equal to the total remaining Excess Payments of such Claiming Credit Parties; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount so paid by any Second Round Contributing Credit Party exceed the amount of its Net Worth (before giving effect to the contribution made by such party under this Section 1C).  Subject to the foregoing proviso, the amount so contributed by each Second Round Contributing Credit Party shall be equal to such total remaining Excess Payments multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Net Worth of such Second Round Contributing Credit Party, and the denominator of which is the aggregate Net Worth of all Second Round Contributing Credit Parties.  The aggregate amount of such contributions under this Section 1C shall, in turn, be allocated among such Claiming Credit Parties in proportion to the remaining Excess Payment of each.

 

D.            Subsequent Round Contributions.  In the event that an Excess Payment made by a Claiming Credit Party pursuant to Section 1C above is not completely reimbursed pursuant thereto (or pursuant to any subsequent round of contribution payments made under this Section 1D), then there shall be a further contribution round in which each Credit Party which made a contribution in the immediately preceding round and continues to have a positive Net Worth after giving effect thereto shall be responsible, by way of contribution, for its pro rata share of such remaining unreimbursed Excess Payments.  The calculation of such further pro rata contribution obligations as between such contributing Credit Parties, and the allocation of such contributions among such Claiming Credit Parties, shall proceed in each such subsequent round in accordance with the respective proration and allocation provisions generally set forth in Section 1C.  Nothing in this Section 1 shall affect any Credit Party’s joint and several liability for all Obligations.

 

SECTION 2.  No Waiver of Other Rights.  All rights of each Credit Party under Section 1 shall be in addition to and not in derogation of any and all other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation which such Credit Party may have under applicable law in respect of the Note Agreement, the Notes, the Multiparty 

 

3

 

Guaranty or any other Guaranty, as applicable, but in all events subject to the subordination provisions in Section 3.  However, such Credit Party shall be entitled to only a single satisfaction of any claim giving rise to any rights under Section 1 and applicable law in respect of the Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party, and any such other rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation shall be expressly subordinate (in time and right of payment) to the contractual rights of each Credit Party under Section 1.

 

SECTION 3.  Subordination.  Each Credit Party (i) subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing to it from any of the other Credit Parties (including, without limitation, under Section 1 and under such Credit Party’s rights of indemnity, contribution, reimbursement or subrogation under applicable law) to the final payment in full in cash of all of the Obligations, (ii) agrees that it will not accelerate, or make a claim in respect of, such indebtedness or otherwise attempt to enforce any of its rights under Section 1 until all Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and (iii) agrees that it will not assign or pledge to any Person all or any part of such indebtedness, except for any Liens permitted under paragraph 6C(1) of the Note Agreement.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any Credit Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected, enforced and received by such Credit Party as trustee for the holders of the Notes, and shall promptly be paid over (x) to the holders of the Notes for application to the Obligations in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, without affecting in any manner the liability of the other Credit Parties to such Credit Party hereunder, or (y) as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3, any Credit Party may make payments to any other Credit Party in respect of indebtedness owing by such Credit Party to any such other Credit Party during such times as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

SECTION 4.        Waivers.

 

A.            Each of the Credit Parties waives any right to require a Claiming Credit Party to:  (i) proceed against any Person, including another Credit Party; (ii) proceed against or exhaust any collateral held from another Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Claiming Credit Party’s power; or (iv) make any presentments, demands for performance, or give any notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protests or notices of dishonor in connection with any of the payments required under this Agreement.

 

B.            Each of the Credit Parties waives any defense arising by reason of:  (i) any disability or other defense of, any other Credit Party or any other Person; (ii) the cessation from any cause whatsoever, other than payment in full, of any liability of any Credit Party or any other Person; (iii) any act or omission by a Claiming Credit Party which directly or indirectly results in or aids the discharge of a Credit Party from the obligation to make payments required by this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise; and (iv) any modification of the obligations, in any form whatsoever, including any modification made after revocation hereof to any obligations incurred prior 

 

4

 

to such revocation, and including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or other change in time for payment of the obligations, or other change in the terms of the obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon.

 

C.            Each of the Credit Parties waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by a Claiming Credit Party, even though that election of remedies, might prejudice the Credit Party’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against another Credit Party.

 

SECTION 5.        Termination.  This Agreement shall survive and remain in full force and effect so long as any part of the Obligations has not been paid in full in cash, and shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any part of a payment of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of Notes or any Credit Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any Credit Party, or otherwise.  A Guarantor shall be automatically released from this Agreement as set forth in paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement.

 

SECTION 6.  No Waiver.  No failure on the part of any Credit Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or remedy by any Credit Party preclude any other or further exercise or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.  All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law.  No Credit Party shall be deemed to have waived any rights under this Agreement unless the waiver is in writing and signed by the party or parties affected.

 

SECTION 7.  Binding Agreement.  Whenever in this Agreement any of the parties is referred to, the reference shall include the successors and assigns of the party; and all covenants, promises and agreements by or on behalf of the parties that are contained in this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns.  This Agreement shall not be amended or terminated, nor any provision herein waived, and no Credit Party may assign or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement (and any attempted assignment or delegation shall be void), without in each case the prior written consent of the Required Holders.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon (a) the dissolution of any Credit Party, or (b) the sale or other disposition of all of the shares of stock, partnership interests, membership interests or other equity interests of any Credit Party to any Person other than another Credit Party that, in each case, is permitted under the Note Agreement, such Credit Party shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that the holders from time to time of Notes are intended indirect beneficiaries of the benefits created in favor of each Credit Party by the indemnification and contribution provisions of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 8.  Severability.  To the extent that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, no party shall be required to comply with the provision for so long as the 

 

5

 

provision is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, but the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained in this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired.  The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

 

SECTION 9.  Additional Credit Parties.  From time to time subsequent to the date hereof, additional Persons may become parties hereto as Guarantors in accordance with the terms of paragraph 5H of the Note Agreement.  Each such Person shall become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to the holders of the Notes, with a copy to the other parties hereto, a counterpart of this Agreement and, thereupon, shall be deemed a Guarantor for all purposes hereunder with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Guarantor herein.  The addition of any new Guarantor as a party to this Agreement shall not require the consent of any other Credit Party hereunder.

 

SECTION 10.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one instrument.  The counterpart signature pages may be detached and assembled to form a single original document.  This Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Credit Party when a counterpart bearing the signature of such Credit Party shall have been executed and delivered to all parties.  In the event that any Person shall become a Credit Party after the date hereof, that Person may become a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering to all parties a counterpart of this Agreement.  Upon execution and delivery of the counterpart, such Person shall be a Credit Party for purposes of this Agreement.

 

SECTION 11.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCLUDING CHOICE OF LAW PRINCIPLES OF THE LAW OF SUCH STATE THAT WOULD PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF A JURISDICTION OTHER THAN SUCH STATE.

Provided that no Event of Default under any of the Financing Agreements has then occurred and is continuing, upon the earlier of (a) delivery of the Vessel (as defined in the Shipbuilding Contract) to the Obligor and (b) delivery of a written Notice of Termination of Security Interest from the Obligor to the Collateral Agent in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (which the Obligor may deliver to the Collateral Agent at any time in its sole discretion with or without the occurrence or happening of any event and without any further action on the part of any party hereto, but, as an abundance of caution, subject to the proviso at the beginning of this sentence), the Security Interest in the Collateral shall be automatically terminated and released, and this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate and no longer be of any force or effect without any further action of any party.  The Collateral Agent agrees, at the sole expense of the Obligor, to promptly file UCC amendments and execute and deliver any other documents or instruments reasonably requested by Obligor to evidence the termination of the Security Interest so released.

 

7.             RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE SECURED PARTIES UPON EVENT OF DEFAULT.

 

7.1          Effect of Event of Default Remedies.  If any Event of Default described in the Financing Documents shall occur and be continuing, the Collateral Agent shall have all of the rights, powers and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of the state in which such rights, powers and remedies are asserted.

 

7.2          Application of Proceeds.  Subject to the rights of any prior secured party, any proceeds received by the Secured Parties in respect of any sale of collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral following the occurrence of an Event of Default shall be applied as set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement.

 

7.3          Notice.  Any notice required to be given by the Collateral Agent of a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, or any other intended action by the Collateral Agent, which is sent pursuant to Section 11 hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, or such longer period as shall be specified by applicable law, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Obligor.

 

8.             REMEDIES NOT EXCLUSIVE; FORECLOSURES.  No right or remedy hereunder is exclusive of any other right or remedy.  Each and every right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to and without prejudice to every other remedy given hereunder, under any other agreement between the Obligor and the Collateral Agent or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity, and may be exercised from time to time as often as deemed expedient, separately or concurrently.  The giving, taking or enforcement of or execution against any other or additional security, collateral, or guaranty for the payment of the Guaranty Obligations shall not operate to prejudice, waive or affect any rights, powers or remedies hereunder, nor shall the Collateral Agent be required to first look to, enforce, exhaust or execute against such other or additional security, or guarantees prior to so acting against the Collateral.  The Collateral Agent may foreclose on or execute against the items of Collateral in such order as the Collateral Agent may, in its sole and unfettered discretion, determine.

 

3

 

9.             WAIVERS.  The failure or delay of the Collateral Agent to insist in any instances upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or other Financing Documents, or to exercise any right, remedy or privilege herein or therein conferred, shall not impair or be construed as thereafter waiving any such covenants, remedies, conditions or provisions, but every such term, condition and covenant shall continue and remain in full force and effect; nor shall any waiver of an Event of Default suspend, waive or affect any other Event of Default, whether the same is prior or subsequent thereto and whether of the same or of a different type.

 

10.          SEVERABILITY.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

 

11.          NOTICE.  All notices, demands and communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be by messenger or overnight air courier, facsimile transmission, e-mail or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered (or, if such day is not a business day, the next occurring business day) by messenger or overnight air courier, upon completion of facsimile transmission or e-mail (with, in each case, electronic confirmation of receipt) or two business days after deposit in the United States mail, registered or certified, with postage prepaid, addressed to the parties at the addresses set forth on the signature page hereof, or at such other address as any party shall have furnished to the other parties in writing in accordance with the requirements of this Section 11.

 

12.          GOVERNING LAW.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Financing Documents, the Obligor waives:  (i) presentment, demand, and protest and notice of presentment, protest, default, non-payment, maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of any or all Financing Documents under or pursuant to which the Obligor may in any way be liable and hereby ratifies and confirms whatever the Collateral Agent or Secured Parties may do in this regard; (ii) notice prior to taking possession or control of Collateral or any bond or security that might be required by any court prior to allowing the Collateral Agent to exercise any remedies; (iii) the benefit of all valuation, appraisement, and exemption laws; (iv) any right to require the Collateral Agent to proceed against any other person or collateral held from any other person; (v) any right to require the Collateral Agent to pursue any other remedy in the Collateral Agent’s power whatsoever; or (vi) any defense arising out of any election by Collateral Agent to exercise or not exercise any right or remedy it may have against the Obligor, any other person or any security held by it, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement to subrogation or other right or remedy of the Obligor against any other person or any such security.

 

14.          ADDITIONAL SECURED PARTIES.  If any Loan Party enters into any other Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), then, upon written notice by the Obligor to the Collateral Agent and the Secured Parties, the holders of the indebtedness under such Note Purchase Agreements shall become additional Secured Parties (each, an “Additional Secured Party”) hereunder.  Effective upon such notice, each Additional Secured Party shall have the same rights and obligations as the other Secured Parties hereunder and the term “Secured Parties” as used herein shall be deemed to include each such Additional Secured Party.  Notwithstanding Section 15.2, no consent of the Collateral Agent or any Secured Party shall be necessary to add such holders as additional Secured Parties.

15.          MISCELLANEOUS.  The Obligor agrees that the following shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement:

 

15.1        Binding on Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon the Obligor, the administrators, successors and assigns of the Obligor, and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Collateral Agent, its successors, transferees and assigns.

 

15.2        No Oral Modifications.  None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, altered, modified, limited or amended except pursuant to the agreement thereto of the parties hereto in writing.

 

15.3        Section Titles.  The section titles contained in this Agreement are merely for convenience and shall be without substantive meaning or content.

 

15.4        Construction.  The word “including” shall have the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “including without limitation.”  Unless the context of this Agreement clearly otherwise requires, the word “or” shall have the meaning represented by the phrase “and/or,” references to the plural include the singular and references to the singular include the plural.

 

16.          WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  The Obligor and the Collateral Agent each irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Financing Document and for any counterclaim therein.

5.2          Further Assurances and Authority of Collateral Agent.  The Obligor shall from time to time on and after the Granting Date execute, deliver, file and record all such further agreements, instruments, financing statements, notices and other documents (including any information necessary to update Schedule I hereto) as may be reasonably requested by the Collateral Agent to perfect or preserve the Security Interest, to enable the Collateral Agent to notify any third parties of the existence of the Collateral Agent’s Security Interest, or otherwise to carry out the intent of this Agreement.  On and after the Granting Date, the Obligor authorizes the Collateral Agent to file financing statements where desirable in the Collateral Agent’s judgment to perfect the Security Interest under the UCC without the signature of the Obligor.

 

6.             RELEASE OF COLLATERAL; TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT.  Provided that no Event of Default under any of the Financing Agreements has then occurred and is continuing, upon the earlier of (a) delivery of the Vessel (as defined in the Shipbuilding Contract) to the Obligor and (b) delivery of a written Notice of Termination of Security Interest from the Obligor to the Collateral Agent in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (which the Obligor may deliver to the Collateral Agent at any time in its sole discretion with or without the occurrence or happening of any event and without any further action on the part of any party hereto, but, as an abundance of caution, subject to the proviso at the beginning of this sentence), the Security Interest in the Collateral shall be automatically terminated and released, and this Security Agreement shall automatically terminate and no longer be of any force or effect without any further action of any party.  The Collateral Agent agrees, at the sole expense of the Obligor, to promptly file UCC amendments and execute and deliver any other documents or instruments reasonably requested by Obligor to evidence the termination of the Security Interest so released.

7.3          Notice.  Any notice required to be given by the Collateral Agent of a sale, lease, or other disposition of Collateral, or any other intended action by the Collateral Agent, which is sent pursuant to Section 11 hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such proposed action, or such longer period as shall be specified by applicable law, shall constitute commercially reasonable and fair notice thereof to the Obligor.
